C735 I Can Bear It
Ma Guifaang chuckled. "Sigh, I knew you would get angry. That's why I specifically called you over to listen to me."
Yang Chen was indignant, "Could it be that I also have to endure it after seeing you being slapped for nothing!?"
"Then, do you think fighting is of any use? Can you hit one, seal a person's mouth, and seal everyone's mouth!? They may not say it, but they will think it that way too. "
Ma Guifaang retorted with a cold expression, "Yang Chen, let me tell you, in this world, the hearts of others cannot be controlled. Like that Auntie Zhou, suspecting me, hitting me, and scolding me all made sense. Although my heart aches and I feel wronged, I know that there is nothing I can do about it. "
"Why? Mom, why did you accept such a thing without any resistance?" Yang Chen shook his head in confusion.
Ma Guifaang was silent for a moment, before she slowly enunciated each word. "Because I am a widow without a man."
Yang Chen forgot to breath as he looked at the woman in front of him in a daze. The words that came out of her mouth were like a giant boulder pressing down on his heart.
"That man was right, widows have a lot of things to do in front of their doors, whether in the old village or when I came to a big city like Zhong Hai, as long as I was a widow and I didn't have a man named 'husband' around me, people would look at me with special eyes," Ma Guifaang whispered. "I fought back once, and I tried to prove that I was an innocent woman, but no one would believe me, unless I lived a life in which no one would ever see me in contact with a man." "Or, when I'm old enough that no one thinks much of me, then those women won't think of me.
Yang Chen's nose was a little sour. The woman in front of him had hidden all of her pain deep inside her heart. Having endured in silence for so many years, her journey had been a tough one.
"Yang Chen, now do you understand why I can't let you have girls with you?" Ma Guifaang asked.
Yang Chen was shocked beyond words.
Ma Guifaang's eyes were filled with love and sadness, "In my entire life, the biggest pillar of support for me to survive is this girl. I know best what has happened to me. If a woman didn't have a blissful marriage, an upright and proper husband, not to mention how her life was, just the rumors outside, the strange looks and suspicions … It was not the kind of suffering a person should bear!
I am already covered in wounds from walking on this bottomless dark path, how can I bear to have my only daughter walk on the same road again?! "
"I won't!" Yang Chen quickly shook his head. "I won't let Qianni be bullied, Mom …"
"Stop it!" Ma Guifaang interrupted Yang Chen, "You don't understand what I'm saying at all. Maybe you have the money, the right, and the ability to protect a girl. She won't be beaten or bullied. However, do you really think that being rich and not getting beaten can make you happy?
Have you ever thought about what other people would say to you and your daughter when you're in your thirties and you're not married and have no children? What if the girl had a baby and she wasn't married? What will the people around me think of my daughter? Someone else's wife? Or was it a mistress that had been taken in? What will the other children think of you and your daughter's child?
This series of things, you young people might not think about it because of your love, but as a mother, how can I not think about it?
Yang Chen, do you still not understand? The more beautiful a woman is, the more others will criticize her when she's old, unless there's a man openly by her side.
So, if you can't give a girl the status of a legal wife, don't chase after her and never let her go. At most, a few painful years will pass. The next generation will suffer too! "
These agitated words were deafening, causing Yang Chen to stand on the spot without a sound.
Ma Guifaang finally couldn't help it. She wiped her tear-filled eyes and said with a sad smile, "Yang Chen, I know you are a good child. Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought your mother to meet us. Perhaps because you're from a large family and you're not an ordinary person, there are many worldly views that you don't care too much about.
However, my family's Qianni is just an ordinary girl. No matter how strong she is or how powerful she is, she's still just a woman. She couldn't possibly spend her whole life around you. She had her own life, her own friends and work circle, and she had to come into contact with the society. Therefore, many private problems couldn't be kept hidden forever.
Just because you don't care now doesn't mean that the child in the future can ignore the gazes of others and be honest with them. Are you going to bear with it and allow her to be rolled up in front of you and force a smile? "
Yang Chen was silent. It wasn't that he didn't think of these things. He seemed to have been avoiding them all along.
Was he really wrong? He should really let go of her, is that the right thing to do for Mo Qianni?
Looking at the tearful Ma Guifaang, Yang Chen's heart wavered slightly.
Ma Guifaang heaved a long sigh and dried her eyes, "I know it's hard for you to accept all of a sudden. I'm doing it for both of you. Not to mention the fact that Lin Elder President was a benefactor to my family. Can you guarantee that with other women around, the Director Lin at home will always tolerate it? Although I don't have any culture, I'm not so stupid as to think that a woman who can manage such a large company would be easy to deal with. Since Ni-zi is one of her employees, there will be many conflicts in the future. For the sake of your family's welfare, you should know how to give it up. "
"Abandon?" Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "It's much harder to abandon someone than to just obtain them."
Ma Guifaang pursed her lips into a smile and patted Yang Chen on the shoulder, "Go and think about it yourself. My attitude will not change because I am someone who has gone through a lot. I will not gamble with my daughter's life. I hope you can think it through as soon as possible."
Not long after that, Ma Guifaang went to prepare the dishes for the evening's meal, while Yang Chen walked out of the Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant.
The sky had already darkened, and the drizzling rain had stopped.
Yang Chen walked on the brightly lit street. He could hear the noisy crowd and the traffic flow, but in his heart, there was not the slightest noise.
After walking for a while, Yang Chen still didn't get a clue. Just as he was about to go to the parking spot, he stopped and stopped at a narrow alleyway.
The wet alleyway was filled with the discarded packaging and sundries from the nearby shops. Due to the flow of the water, many of the dirty items had become rotten and emitted a smoky smell.
At this moment, a female beggar wrapped in a blanket was squatting in a corner and nibbling on a dirty white biscuit in her hand.
The female beggar's hair was disheveled and there were droplets of water on it. Her shoes were all mud. If they were placed on the street, they would definitely be driven away by the Town Security.
Yang Chen frowned. No matter how dirty the beggar in front of him was, he could still tell who he was from his appearance.
The female beggar seemed to have realized that someone was standing at the entrance of the alleyway, blocking out some light. She slowly and carefully raised her head, and when she saw Yang Chen, she immediately revealed a trace of fear!
"Why are you …" The beggar's hand trembled, and the biscuit fell to the ground.
Yang Chen didn't have any feelings of pity or relief. This woman had fallen into such a situation, it was just that she deserved it. Compared to her vicious heart, who wanted Lin Ruoxi to die with him, letting her live such a miserable life was already worthy of her.
Yang Chen was about to leave without paying any attention to him when he suddenly saw a lame vagabond walking towards him from the front. He raised his head and looked at Yang Chen with a puzzled expression before immediately turning into the alley.
Squatting in front of Luo Cuishan, Cripple took out a few coins from his rag pocket and smugly said, "Tomorrow, breakfast will be available. I thought it was a rainy day, so I didn't expect that I would pay more."
Seeing that Luo Cuishan did not react, Cripple realized that the woman was in a state of emotional instability. Her eyes were filled with all kinds of anger and repressed fear, as if she was afraid to face the unfamiliar man in the alley …
