"Yun Qiang, listen to me, I was angry, I was wrong, I definitely won’t do this in the future."

"Liu Cuilan, there is no future. If you don’t leave, I will. From now on, we’ll live our own lives."

"Yun Qiang, I really know I was wrong, don’t be angry.

I was not used to you being away from home, and your second sister-in-law was sneering at me. Your second brother announced the next day that work quotas couldn’t be given away because I wanted to get a work quota for Dashan in the village.

They bullied me because you weren’t home."

Li Yunqiang laughed. "Since you think the Liu Family is your home, then go back."

"Li Yunqiang, how can you say that? Since I married, I only go back to my parents’ house during festivals, and sneak things to them during gatherings. How can you say this?"

"You can resent my second brother and sister-in-law for your family and even when your husband comes home, you won’t cook for him.

Enough, don’t say anything else. From now on, that’s how it’ll be, Liu Cuilan, remember, I’ve never wronged you all these years, for you, I became distant from my brothers, and I accepted that.

But you shouldn’t have looked down on me. Just for a work quota, you can let your husband who’s been away for many days go hungry?

Enough, I’ve seen you clearly."

"No, I was just waiting for you to coax me."

"No more in the future." Li Yunqiang finished speaking, shook off Liu Cuilan’s hand, and left.

Liu Cuilan didn’t even wear shoes, she chased out directly, yelling loudly from behind.

But watching Li Yunqiang not turning back, this time Liu Cuilan felt she was really done.

This happened because she was angry; initially, it was busy getting a work quota for Dashan, later she was angry at the Li Family.

That’s why she didn’t wash clothes, before whatever happened, Li Yunqiang would coax her. She was habituated to it. Who knew this time, Li Yunqiang would be like this?

Actually, Liu Cuilan was spoiled. Whether a woman is happy or not can be seen from her character.

Liu Cuilan was already a mother of four children and her eldest son could already settle a family. Yet she was so childish, all because Li Yunqiang spoiled her too much.

Bewildered, Liu Cuilan returned to the house, realizing this won’t work, she really couldn’t convince Li Yunqiang back, this is absolutely not okay.

She hurriedly put on shoes, locked the door, and rushed to Li Yungui’s house.

But saw the door was locked. Earlier due to sadness, she hadn’t heard the work bell sound.

She rushed to the field to find Li Yungui, but couldn’t find him.

"Brother Cunshan, where is my second brother, where is Yun Qiang?"

"I haven’t seen them, why didn’t you go to work?"

"Brother Cunshan, I took leave today." Saying this, she hurriedly ran away.

She ran to the team office, seeing both brothers there.

They seemed to be accounting, now she couldn’t care about that, she directly charged in.

Li Yunqiang lifted his head and glanced at Liu Cuilan, now thinking how he was so blind back then? What was good about Liu Cuilan? She wasn’t the prettiest or most capable among the introductions, why did he choose her?

Li Yungui didn’t lift his head; he wouldn’t interfere in couple’s affairs. Avoid being caught in a predicament.

Li Yunqiang was settling accounts; all expenses of this outing must be accounted for, to match the amount brought back.

Li Yunqiang lowered his head to continue calculating; Liu Cuilan, looking at the husband’s gaze at her, truly panicked.

But after living together for years, she knew now she should not cause a scene.

Both kept their heads down and continued accounting, finally matching them. Li Yunqiang signed for himself, Li Yungui signed, then glued them together, marking the end.

Li Yungui tidied up the desk, ignored the couple and left.

Li Yunqiang had packed his accounts too. Without looking at Liu Cuilan, he left.

Liu Cuilan knew this time was different from last time, last year no matter what, Li Yunqiang would still talk to her, but this time he won’t.

She anxiously followed after Li Yunqiang, seeing he was heading for the field, immediately grabbing his arm.

"Yun Qiang, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. No matter what, I shouldn’t have ignored you.

Don’t you remember the days we spent together? You always indulged me, coaxed me, I thought you’d coax me again this time, so I was wrong, I shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum."

Li Yunqiang turned back to look at Liu Cuilan, "You know how I’ve treated you over the years; today you’ve utterly disheartened me.

That’s how it’ll be; if you don’t leave, just stay like this."

Liu Cuilan was stunned, feeling she lost something.

"Yun Qiang, you can’t forgive me? I really won’t in the future; we’ve been together so many years, don’t you remember how good you’ve been to me before?"

"You should go to work."

Li Yunqiang pulled his arm away, turned, and went to the field.

Liu Cuilan froze in place. Actually, she didn’t really think she was wrong, just shouldn’t have been cold to her husband upon his return.

Why is this time so unforgiving? Where exactly went wrong?

Li Yunqiang reached the field, wandered a round, feeling miserable, exchanged a few words with Li Cunshan, and went back.

He found the house locked.

Got the key and entered, seeing his luggage still placed there.

Thinking about how second sister-in-law treated second brother, Li Yunqiang felt uncomfortable.

Soaked his clothes, previously he often washed clothes, so it wasn’t difficult.

After washing, laid on the kang. They were truly exhausted, eagerly wanting to return early. Day and night working, even learned to drive a tractor.

Burdensome fatigue. However, couldn’t sleep, flashes of so many years danced in his mind.

Li Yunqiang bitterly smiled; Liu Cuilan is like this because of his indulgence, no one else to blame.

Second Brother now very disappointed in him. Indeed selfishly wanting the best for his son.

Alright, leave it like this; in the future, manage this not too close but not too far relationship.

Son is also returning soon, he has high expectations for Xiang Dong, hoping he’ll succeed.

The remaining three just ordinary, won’t have grand achievements. Li Yunqiang kept comforting himself.

Unknowingly fell asleep, waking up, it was already midnight. This sleep was deep.

Looked at the wife beside, couldn’t see in the pitch-dark room, but felt so distant, estranged?

A bit hungry, went out to see, the cupboard had steamed buns. Not cold now, ate two buns with pickles, felt much better.
