Reflecting on the past and considering the years gone by, it is surprising to realize that the choices made back then remain uncertain.
"Old man, I think it would be better to split the family. If we do, there won't be so many issues, and Eldest Uncle's Wife won't cause such a fuss."
Wang relied on their guilt, knowing they wouldn't dare confront her. For all these years, she had ruled the household with an iron fist.
The Qin Family made concession after concession, and over time, it became a habit.
Even if they regained control of the household, they still couldn't be firm in front of Wang; otherwise, their conscience would trouble them.
Yan listened to the Qin Family's words and remained silent for a long time.
"Old man, our family has really been through a lot these years. It feels like home isn't home anymore. It might be better to split completely and cleanly." There was an uncountable amount of helplessness and loneliness in those words.
Finally, Yan spoke up: "Call a few of the kids over tomorrow!" However, as he continued to smoke one bag after another, the flickering light revealed his dazed and confused eyes, obscuring his true feelings.
The Qin Family understood that the old man had made up his mind; he was determined to split the family.
After being controlled by Wang for so many years, it was time for the children to live their own lives.
Meanwhile, Wang returned to her room, feeling her heart racing violently and sensing the warmth emanating from it. For the first time, confusion appeared on her usually arrogant face.
All these years, she had presented herself with such a demeanor, but was she truly happy? Was she really fulfilled?
She had once thought that the gentle young man would be her lifelong partner. But what happened? After going away for a trip, he returned with a woman as gentle as water.
With fair skin and a delicate figure, she felt ashamed of herself. In just a few days, everyone in Ten Li Eight Villages knew that Liu Laosan had brought back a beauty.
And then? The fiancé she had been promised to was abandoned while Liu Laosan enjoyed a happy life. Her world turned upside down.
No one is willing to be the girl who has been rejected, especially when she had previously turned down one suitor after another, only to become the unwanted girl.
At that time, Yan and the Qin Family came to apologize, but what changed? Nothing. The fact that her reputation was ruined remained unchanged.
At home, she was scorned by her brothers and sisters-in-law. Her sister-in-law repeatedly whispered in her ear, "What good are you? You can't even keep a man; it's no wonder no one wants you."
Her parents also wore grim faces, feeling that she had brought shame upon the family.
She became the laughingstock of everyone and didn't dare to step outside for several days.
Yan and the Qin Family were filled with guilt and wanted to make amends because all the blame lay with Liu Laosan; it shouldn't have fallen on Wang.
After many twists and turns, the best solution was for her to marry Liu Eldest.
Well, they truly seemed destined for each other. Liu Eldest had been rejected multiple times, leading to no one being willing to act as his matchmaker, and thus they ended up together.
From then on, Wang's temperament changed drastically, becoming what it is now.
Whenever she saw Liu Laosan gently caring for Yun Clan, their mutual affection evident in their eyes and understanding glances, her heart ached.
Looking back, she still had to face Liu Eldest, who was rough around the edges. He obeyed her every whim, but there was no genuine love from within.
So she picked fights again and again; perhaps out of guilt, Liu Laosan did not resist her provocations, and Yun Clan's gentle nature made it easy for her to manipulate him.
Eventually, during their escape from danger, after more than ten years of torment came to an end, she felt as if she had lost all purpose in life. At that moment, her heart felt empty.
Wang suddenly felt lost. But whenever she thought of Liu Qingxi's face, which resembled Yun Clan's so closely, she transferred all her hatred for Liu Laosan and his wife onto Liu Qingxi.
If Liu Qingxi knew about this part of the story, she would surely spit out a mouthful of blood. Was it really necessary to be so melodramatic? Her parents were too shocked by the mundane world.
Of course, she was unaware of this and did not know that the grievances suffered by the Wang family here were all directed at the other branches when they returned.
She was busy finishing up the last house.
In just a short while, she found herself sitting in Zhang Wuliang's home.
In the evening, without the heat of the day, sitting under the big willow tree with a cup of homemade Camellia tea, feeling a cool breeze, she relaxed her body and mind, feeling incredibly comfortable.
"Uncle Zhang, our work on the houses is wrapping up now. Let's not take on any new projects for a while; we should focus on harvesting the crops first."
"I think so too. Shall we take a break for a while?"
Zhang Wuliang and Liu Qingxi exchanged knowing smiles, reaching an agreement.
Life was looking brighter; the wheat in the fields was turning yellow day by day, with hints of green peeking through, signaling that it was ripening.
But would the days ahead be as they imagined? The future remained uncertain.
After leaving Zhang Wuliang's house, Liu Qingxi headed straight to Yang Yichen's place. Although she currently lacked the ability to decide life and death with a snap of her fingers, she was not someone to be easily bullied.
While Liu Qingxi was on her way, Yang Yichen already sensed her arrival. He glanced at the latest news in town and felt quite satisfied.
"Anan, you can go down now and tell the lady that she can go out for a stroll and enjoy the scenery."
"Uh! Yes, young master!" Anan paused for a moment before suddenly realizing what he meant. The young master seemed to have forgotten his mother in favor of a pretty face; it was so obvious he was trying to distract Wen Family. However, Anan couldn't help but think that this idea wasn't bad at all.
He quickened his pace to reach the Wen Family's room and whispered a few words to them.
The Wen Family laughed and scolded, "This child, how come I never noticed this before? Enough, enough, even my son is disdainful of me now that I'm old. I think I should have a chat with Qingxi!"
Anan felt embarrassed, at a loss for words and actions. Both the lady and the young master were equally cunning, and he was caught in the middle: "Um, madam..."
"Hahaha, alright, I was just joking with you. Can't I just step back a bit? Hurry along with your business. I'm going out for a stroll now; oh, what a lovely day it is today!"
In her heart, the Wen Family was mocking Yang Yichen half to death. This brat knew how to send her away; otherwise, if Liu Qingxi came, she would definitely stay here for a while.
Just as the Wen Family left, Liu Qingxi arrived right on time.
Yang Yichen saw the girl in a light yellow summer dress walking slowly towards him, her face blooming with a warm smile. The slight lift of her lips and her squinting eyes made her look even more delightful.
"Yang Yichen, how are things over at Wanjia?" Liu Qingxi asked. She had discussed plans with the young man last time and was curious about how well they were being executed. She never showed mercy to those who intended to harm her.
"Take a look for yourself!" Yang Yichen handed over the letter.
Sure enough, after Liu Qingxi read it, she raised her fair face. The gentle smile made the dimples on her cheeks appear even cuter.
Yang Yichen's throat moved slightly.
