Chapter 264: It’s Also A Skill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Aunt Yang, going back already?” Someone saw Aunt Yang and greeted her familiarly.

Aunt Yang used to live in Little Lin Village and only moved to Daqing Village with her son later.

However, in these villages, almost all the people over thirty knew Aunt Yang.

In her younger years, Aunt Yang was a respected figure, the head of the women’s department overseeing three villages, and the daughter of a respected village secretary. She was a celebrated and ambitious young woman, admired wherever she went. Now, time had transformed her into a white-haired elder who had endured many life challenges.

The villagers recalled how Aunt Yang, despite her affluent family background, had a life that took a turn for the worse after her marriage. Unlike Gu Zi, who had found happiness with Su Shen, Aunt Yang’s choice of husband had led her down a path of hardship.

Therefore, choosing a husband was also a skill!

If you choose the right one, you will be happy from now on. If you choose the wrong one, he will push you into the abyss.

Aunt Yang saw that they were all familiar faces. She turned around and

squeezed out a smile. “Yes, I’m going back now.”

After Aunt Yang had finished speaking and walked away with the snow pears, a group of women near the Su family’s house began to discuss recent events. “Did you hear what happened this morning? My house is just across a small path from Aunt Yang’s. I could hear everything clearly,” one woman said. “Mrs. Wang was scolding her again. Poor Yuan Yuan, crying and begging, ‘Old thing, don’t go. Old thing, come back.’ It was heart-wrenching to hear.”

“Mrs. Wang really doesn’t have any right to chase her away like that!” another woman added indignantly. “If she didn’t call her those names so often, Yuan Yuan wouldn’t be repeating them. Children think it’s normal to call his grandma ‘old thing.”‘ freeweb novel.com

“It all boils down to the son’s behavior. If Aunt Yang had followed her family’s advice and left Yang Tao with his father’s family, she wouldn’t be in this situation. But ultimately, it was her husband who brought all this misfortune upon her.”

The conversation shifted to Aunt Yang’s past. “Aunt Yang came from such a good family, yet she fell for the accountant in the rice shop,” a woman recalled. “She even had her father arrange the marriage proposal.”

“The accountant agreed immediately when he learned he was being matched with the daughter of the Yang family,” another chimed in. “They married quickly, and soon after, Aunt Yang was expecting Yang Tao. Life seemed peaceful at first.”

“But then,” another woman continued, “the accountant realized that the Yang family, despite their reputation, weren’t wealthy. Aunt Yang’s father, despite being a high-ranking official, was honest and didn’t exploit his position for personal gain. This was different from what the accountant had expected.”

“Not long after Yang Tao was born, the accountant claimed he wanted to seek a

better life for his family and left to make his fortune,” said another. “Aunt Yang, believing in his intentions, gave him all her savings to support his endeavor.”

“But the man didn’t return for seven years,” another woman added sadly. “He even had the audacity to ask Aunt Yang for more money, claiming he’d been cheated. And when Yang Tao turned seven, he sent word asking for a divorce.”

“He handled the divorce through a proxy and never returned,” someone else interjected. “Later, Aunt Yang discovered he’d remarried and had a new family.

Worse still, he’d left her with debts he’d incurred.”

“Aunt Yang’s family urged her to leave her son with the accountant’s relatives and remarry, given her good looks and family background,” another woman said. “But Aunt Yang refused to abandon her son. She chose to live in her marital home, enduring the mistreatment of her ex-husband’s family, raising her son alone, and even paying off his debts.”

“But look how it turned out, ” a voice said with a tinge of bitterness. “Despite all her sacrifices, her son turned out so ungrateful. It’s unbearable to see.”

“Like father, like son,” another woman remarked cynically. “With genes from a man like that, how could Yang Tao turn out any different? He’s just like his father.”

Gu Zi, overhearing the conversation while cleaning the wild onions, couldn’t help but frown at the sad tale of Aunt Yang’s life, a story marked by resilience in the face of unrelenting hardship and ingratitude..
