Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Hey, my parents have gone back to the countryside, so you're finally happy now, right?"

The more Wang Dashan thought about it, the more depressed he felt, so he couldn't help but call Du Xiaojuan.

Right from his opening words, there was an implication of blaming Du Xiaojuan.

Upon hearing this, Du Xiaojuan's brows furrowed slightly, and then she said:

"I didn't make them leave; they wanted to leave themselves, so you can't pin the blame on me."

Wang Dashan actually also knew he couldn't blame Du Xiaojuan; this time his parents' departure was agreed to by both his Second Brother and Third Brother, the purpose being to let their father go back to the rural area to recuperate.

Once the hospital side completes the cell modification and needs to reinfuse the cells, they will bring Wang Zhanggen back.

However, he was holding a grudge in his heart; knowing it wasn't Du Xiaojuan's responsibility, he still had to make an issue of it and say a couple of things to her, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable inside, unable to swallow this anger.

Because previously it was always Du Xiaojuan criticizing him; he had never criticized Du Xiaojuan.

This time, no matter what, he had to win a round back!

"What do you mean 'can't pin the blame on you'? Du Xiaojuan, you know better than anyone, you just look down on my parents! But I don't blame you either; after all, you even look down on your own parents, let alone mine!"

Wang Dashan's opening words were extremely sharp and barbed.

Truly verifying that saying: the closest people often speak the most hurtful words.

Because he knows where your soft spot lies.

So every sentence of his can poke right into your lungs.

Du Xiaojuan, having her parents brought up by Wang Dashan, was also infuriated:

"Can you stop always bringing up my parents? Back then I treated my parents that way, wasn't it for our new family? If I brought my parents over to live, you'd probably be unhappy too! You know how much they bleed me dry!"

"So just because your parents are like that, you think all parents under heaven are the same?"

Wang Dashan retorted with this one sentence.

"I never said that!" Du Xiaojuan was very impatient, also holding in a grudge: "Don't be so extreme, okay!"

Wang Dashan countered with another question:

"Who exactly is being extreme! You clearly knew moving out would definitely make my parents unhappy, yet you still insisted on moving out; you might as well have directly told them to leave! You're really clever, wanting to stand on the moral high ground while also manufacturing yourself as the innocent party — have you applied that whole business trickset to my family!"

Wang Dashan spoke more and more excitedly.

Du Xiaojuan was angered to death by him.

Originally recently she already had a pile of negative emotions, and now she had to hear Wang Dashan speak like this.

She really was about to explode.

"Wang Dashan, what are you saying! If you've got the guts, say it again!"

Wang Dashan didn't back down either, shouting into the mobile phone:

"I said you used that profiteer merchant routine on my family, so what? You did it but still won't admit it!"

Du Xiaojuan was so angry her face turned pale, her whole body trembling:

"Just wait, I'm going back right now, we'll settle this face to face!"

Du Xiaojuan hung up the phone, handed the child to the live-in nanny to take care of.

Then she went back alone in a great hurry.

As a very strong-willed woman, how could she tolerate someone slandering her like this, let alone the person slandering her being the closest pillow-side person to her!

This time, her heart was truly saddened to the extreme!

If Wang Dashan doesn't apologize to her face, this matter absolutely won't be let go!

"Wang Dashan, get out here!"

Du Xiaojuan, anger burning to the heavens, walked quickly into the villa's grand hall, shouting at the vast space.

Like a raging tigress.

Wang Dashan was still sitting on the sofa in a daze.

After Du Xiaojuan hung up, he couldn't help but space out, and also began to self-doubt: were the words he just said a bit too much?

Now Du Xiaojuan suddenly ran back, and her opening words demanded he get out; besides startling him, it also extinguished the last trace of guilt in his heart.

"I'm right here, what are you shouting so loud for?"

Wang Dashan stood up, looking at Du Xiaojuan expressionlessly.

"You apologize to me! Right now, immediately!"

Du Xiaojuan, huffing with anger, pointed at Wang Dashan's nose, and in a commanding tone, ordered Wang Dashan to apologize to her.

She, who had always been domineering, had now become even more domineering.

"On what grounds? I didn't say anything wrong!"

Wang Dashan coldly refused Du Xiaojuan's demand, and also said:

"I see you're just spoiled rotten by usual indulgence, Du Xiaojuan, do you know, sometimes you really deserve a beating!"

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan got even more angry:

"You want to hit me? Then come on, hit me!"

Wang Dashan didn't move, just a face full of speechlessness:

"Can't you speak a little reason!"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Fine, then I'll reason with you properly! I can't sleep, I want to find a quiet place to sleep — what have I done wrong!"

Wang Dashan said:

"You're wrong because you only ever think of yourself, never consider anyone else!"

"Have you ever considered me?" Du Xiaojuan retorted. "I bore you a son, and raising him is this hard — have you ever considered me! These days I've had insomnia and anxiety, I'm on the verge of depression — have you ever considered my feelings? Do you need me to jump off a building and commit suicide like your Third Brother's wife before you'll be happy!"

Wang Dashan's expression twitched; for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Yet inside he still felt unconvinced.

He felt Du Xiaojuan was just being difficult.

Before giving birth she booked the hospital's VIP suite, during delivery she stayed in the most expensive integrated delivery room, afterward she moved into a postpartum center costing over a hundred thousand a month, and after leaving the center she spent a fortune hiring a Gold Medal live-in nanny to help raise the child.

With all that she still says this isn't right and that isn't right — if that's not being difficult, what is?

Think back — his mother, alone in Shangou Village, raised the three brothers by herself, and never made such a fuss!

"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing Wang Dashan not speaking, Du Xiaojuan pressed him aggressively to open his mouth.

Only then did Wang Dashan reply with a half-hearted sentence:

"I see you're just spoiled. Other people's wives give birth — which one acts like you?"

Hearing those words, all the anger in Du Xiaojuan's body drained away at once.

She had still wanted to demand an explanation, to fight for a breath of dignity, to win a shred of sympathy — but now it all leaked out.

For a woman, the saddest thing in this world is nothing more than the myriad pains of childbirth, and her own husband fundamentally cannot feel the same.

"Fine then, I'm done talking to you. Let's leave it at that."

Du Xiaojuan no longer wanted to say a single word to Wang Dashan.

Right now she needed to calm down.

Calmly consider whether her marriage should continue.

Calmly think about how this child should be handled.

Calmly think about how her future life should be lived.

So after saying that, she turned and walked away.

That's just how she is — she doesn't linger or entangle, she acts cleanly and decisively, sharp like a keen knife.

Seeing her like this, Wang Dashan felt a sudden panic:

"Where are you going?"

Du Xiaojuan didn't look back:

"I'm going back to take care of the child."

Wang Dashan frowned, sensing something was off but unable to pinpoint what.

He wanted to say something to Du Xiaojuan, but in the end said nothing at all.

He only silently watched Du Xiaojuan's retreating figure.
