Chapter 719 This is what they deserve.
“Your son is in jail for ten years, but he’s still young. You really shouldn’t be delaying his life.”
"Yes, given your family's situation, even if your daughter-in-law doesn't bring up divorce, you should take the initiative to do so."
"Bullshit, it's not like that..."
She tried to explain herself, but it was all outdated feudal ideas.
Men have always been known for their philandering; no matter how much they mess around outside, as long as they still come home, that's good enough.
The saying goes, "A man is a woman's heaven." No matter how strong a woman is, she cannot live without her heaven.
The group of people were stunned.
People began to criticize her, making her explanations seem so weak.
"Auntie, I don't know which remote mountain village you came from. It's terrible to be uneducated; you're even more terrifying than people from the Qing Dynasty. What era are we living in? The country is advocating for gender equality, haven't you heard a word of it?"
She grew up in a remote mountain village where there was no television and she couldn't understand newspapers. Where could she listen to anything?
“Auntie, we’re all human, men and women are the same. You should straighten your back.”
"See? This is the significance of girls being able to study. Otherwise, they would end up like this old lady, treating men like gods and demeaning themselves to the dust."
Many urban families nowadays only have one child, a girl, whom they dote on like the apple of their eye.
The thought of their beloved daughters treating others like royalty in the future is devastating for many young mothers.
If such a 'sky' truly existed, they would risk their lives to shatter it.
"Oh dear, what do you young girls and wives know? If a family doesn't have a man, the woman's family will be eaten up and have no descendants."
Forget it, judging from the way she talks, I know I can't reason with her.
Or perhaps she simply doesn't accept that women in this era can live well even without men.
One person pointed out the key point: "Just because your son was sentenced to ten years, he's definitely not a good person. The girl should get a divorce."
There's no point in saying more; I'll shut her down with one sentence.
……
Jiang Mei was thrown out of the courthouse, and originally wanted to make a scene at the courthouse entrance to stir up public opinion.
Unexpectedly, she was ridiculed by passersby, and not a single person sympathized with her.
Back home, she sat on the edge of the bed with a long face and said to Wang Zhong, "Old man, Jianguo and that bitch Tang Xiaofen got divorced, and we...we lost the case again."
Wang Zhong closed his eyes, thinking that this was probably retribution.
"What are we going to do? You're in this state, neither alive nor dead. Your son is in jail, and your daughter-in-law is gone. What's the difference between this and the destruction of your family?"
"That bitch Tang Xiaofen even wanted to take Xiaozhi away with her. Luckily, Jianguo and I strongly opposed it, and she relented. Now, Xiaozhi is with Jianguo, and that good-for-nothing girl is with Tang Xiaofen. It's fine with her, she's a good-for-nothing anyway."
Hearing her words, Wang Zhongzhen felt a mix of emotions.
She thought to herself, "What future does my grandson have with an old woman like you?"
It would be better to follow Tang Xiaofen.
When Tang Xiaofen first left, Wang Zhi would cry and look for his mother and sister, but now he doesn't.
Because it was no use looking for it.
She would also be beaten and scolded by her grandmother.
He was quite pitiful, leaning against the doorway listening to what his grandma and grandpa were saying.
Although he is only of kindergarten age, he can understand some of what is being said.
Mom and sister will never come back. Mom tried to take him with her, but Grandma stopped her.
Their rent was about to expire, and they couldn't afford to pay it anymore, so they had to go back to their hometown.
Before leaving, Jiang Mei arranged for Wang Jianguo to be transferred to a prison management position.
Inmates serving their sentences in other locations can apply to be transferred back to their home city.
It's impossible for Jiang Mei to not visit her son for ten years.
It's definitely inconvenient to live so far away in the south, so she has to move her son back to their hometown.
After completing the application, she bought train tickets back home, ready to leave with her husband and grandson.
A paralyzed old man, a small child, and a pile of luggage... It's clear how much effort it must have taken her to carry all that stuff back by herself.
Of course, there are still many kind-hearted people. When they get to the train station, they won't know her family situation. Just seeing an old lady struggling like this, they will definitely lend her a helping hand.
They're leaving tomorrow, and Tang Xiaofen knows that too.
After all, it was her own son, and Tang Xiaofen blamed herself for not being strong enough.
She is not a saint; her abilities are limited.
You can protect one, but you can't protect two.
If the son stays, at least he can grow up safely.
But if they leave their daughter to them, who knows what will happen to her?
Tang Xiaofen used her newly received salary to buy her son new clothes, new shoes, and some food.
She hung the things on the doorknob, knocked on the door, and then left.
She couldn't see him, and she knew that Jiang Mei wouldn't allow them to meet.
When Jiang Mei opened the door, she didn't see anyone, only something hanging on the doorknob.
Jiang Mei knew that Tang Xiaofen had delivered it, and she angrily launched into a tirade of extremely offensive language.
But the items were still taken inside.
"Is Mom back?" Wang Zhi asked softly.
"No, your mother doesn't want you anymore. She ran off with some other man. Don't ask about her again. You're a member of the Wang family; you don't have a mother."
Wang Zhi's eyes welled up with tears, and he dared not utter another sound.
Jiang Mei simply forbids Tang Xiaofen from meeting Wang Zhi.
She wanted to speak ill of Tang Xiaofen in front of the children, to teach Wang Zhi to hate Tang Xiaofen, and to make Tang Xiaofen regret her actions.
She didn't believe that Tang Xiaofen could never return to her hometown.
If you can work outside when you're young, which boss will want you when you get old?
She believes that when Tang Xiaofen gets old and can no longer work, she will definitely have to go back to her hometown to live with her son in her old age.
When the time comes, Wang Zhi will hate Tang Xiaofen to death for not taking care of her in her old age; she'll regret it then.
……
Jiang Mei and the others went back to their hometown, taking Tang Xiaofen's son with them.
She was somewhat absent-minded all day.
Sister Zhao noticed her unusual expression and knew about her family situation. She sighed and said, "How about this, when you're more settled in a few years, go back to your hometown and bring your son with you?"
"How does this work?"
"Why not? Look at your mother-in-law... the child's grandmother, she's holding onto her pride and trying to be tough. But given her condition, how long do you think she can keep up this act? I bet it won't be long before she starts crying. If she can't raise the child, she'll be begging you to take him away."
She doesn't know either.
Tang Xiaofen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."
No one can say for sure what the future holds.
Sister Zhao stopped talking about it and said with a smile, "Your daughter is so capable. You're at work and away from home for so long, and she doesn't cry or make a fuss."
Tang Xiaofen smiled and said, "She can cook for herself."
Sister Zhao was shocked. "Really? Only...five years old?"
Tang Xiaofen nodded and said, "Yes, she's only five years old, but she can only do some simple things. I cook the food for her and leave it on the table, and she takes it to heat up and eat it herself. She started helping me with the fire and picking vegetables when she was three years old."
