"Mom," Yang Cheng didn't care if Ma Guifang let him call her that, and said seriously, "No one can hit you in the future. If anyone hits you, I'll break their bones!"
Ma Guifang chuckled, "Sigh, I knew you would get angry, that's why I called you over to listen to me."
Yang Cheng was indignant, "Do I have to endure seeing you get slapped for no reason at all!?"
"Then do you think it's useful to hit them? You can hit one person and seal one person's mouth, but can you seal everyone's mouth!? Don't tell me they won't think so in their hearts if they don't say it!? "
Ma Guifang asked back, her face cold, "Yang Cheng, let me tell you, in this world, you can't control the hearts of others. Like that aunt Zhou, suspecting me, hitting me, scolding me, that's all reasonable. Although I feel heartache, I feel wronged, but I know, this can't be helped. "
"Why, mom, why did you accept this kind of thing and not resist at all?" Yang Cheng shook his head in confusion.
Ma Guifang was silent for a while, then said word by word, "Because, I'm a widow without a man."
Yang Cheng forgot to breathe, staring blankly at the woman in front of him. Hearing such words from her mouth, it was like a huge rock pressing on his heart.
"That person is right, there are many troubles in front of a widow's door. Whether it's in my old village or in a big city like Zhonghai, as long as I'm a widow without a man called 'husband', people will look at me with special eyes," Ma Guifang said in a low voice, "I've resisted before, I've tried to prove that I'm a pure woman, but no one will believe me, unless I don't let anyone see me in contact with a man for the rest of my life. Or, when I'm so old that no one will look at me, then those women, won't have any ideas. "
Yang Cheng's nose was a little sour, the woman in front of him hid all the pain in her heart, silently enduring for so many years, how difficult this journey must have been.
"Yang Cheng, now do you understand why I absolutely can't let Nizi be with you?" Ma Guifang said deeply.
Yang Cheng's heart shook, he couldn't say a word.
Ma Guifang's eyes were filled with love and sadness, "In my life, the biggest pillar that supported me to live is Nizi. I know the misfortune that happened to me the best. If a woman didn't have a happy marriage and didn't have a dignified husband, not to mention how her life would be, just the various rumors and slanders outside, the strange gazes and suspicions … was a pain that a person shouldn't have to bear!
I've walked this dark and bottomless road until now, and I'm already covered in cuts and bruises. How can I bear to let my only daughter walk the same path?! "
"No!" Yang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "I won't let Qianni be bullied, Mom …"
"Stop!" Ma Guifang interrupted Yang Cheng's words, "You don't understand what I'm saying at all. Perhaps you have money, power, and all kinds of strength to protect Nizi. She won't be beaten or bullied. However, do you think that if you don't get beaten up and have money to spend, then you'll really be happy?
Have you ever thought that you and Nizi are still young? When you're in your thirties, if Nizi isn't married and doesn't have children, what will others say? If Nizi had a child and she wasn't married, what would happen to the child she gave birth to? What would the people around me think of my daughter? Someone else's wife? Or was she a mistress? What would other children think of the child you and Nizi have?
These series of things, you young people may not think of because you're in love, but as a mother, how can I not think about it?
Yang Cheng, don't you understand? The more beautiful a woman is, when she gets old, if there's no man by her side, the more people will gossip about her.
So, if you can't give Nizi the status of a legal wife, then don't chase after her anymore. At most, you'll suffer for a few years, and then it'll be over. It's better than suffering for a lifetime! The next generation will also suffer! "
These emotional words were so deafening that it made Yang Cheng stand in place, completely silent.
Ma Guifang finally couldn't help it. She wiped her teary eyes and said with a sad smile, "Yang Cheng, I know you're a good child. Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought your mother to see us. Perhaps you're born in a rich family, and you're not ordinary, so you don't care much about the secular views.
But our Qianni is just an ordinary girl. No matter how strong she is, no matter how competitive she is, she's still a woman. She can't just stay by your side for the rest of her life. She has her own life, her own friends, and her own work circle. She has to come into contact with society, so it's impossible for her to hide a lot of personal problems without others finding out.
She doesn't care now, but that doesn't mean she won't care about other people's views in the future. She'll face them honestly. Do you have the heart to let her be looked down upon by others outside, and force a smile in front of you? "
Yang Cheng was silent. These things weren't something he hadn't thought of. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had always avoided it.
Was he really wrong? Should he really let go? Was that the best way to treat Mo Qianni?
Looking at Ma Guifang's tearful eyes, Yang Cheng's mind was slightly shaken.
Ma Guifang let out a long sigh and wiped the corners of her eyes. "I know it's hard for you to accept it all at once. I'm doing this for the sake of the two of you. Let's not talk about the fact that our family is indebted to Old CEO Lin. Can you guarantee that with another woman around, General Lin will really put up with it? Although I'm not cultured, I'm not stupid enough to think that a woman who can manage such a big company will be easy to get along with. Nizi is also her employee. In the future, there will be a lot of conflicts. For the sake of your family's happiness, you should also know how to give up. "
"Give up?" Yang Cheng laughed bitterly. "It's much harder for a person to give up than to get."
Ma Guifang pursed her lips and smiled. She patted Yang Cheng's shoulder lightly. "Think about it yourself. My attitude won't change, because I'm an experienced person. I won't gamble with my daughter's life. I hope you'll think about it clearly soon."
Not long after, Ma Guifang went to prepare the dishes for the evening, and Yang Cheng also walked out of the Sichuan restaurant.
The sky had already darkened, and the drizzle in the sky had stopped.
Yang Cheng walked on the brightly lit street. His ears were filled with the hustle and bustle of people and traffic, but his heart was cold and quiet without any noise.
After walking for a while, Yang Cheng still couldn't figure out what was going on. Just as he was about to go to the parking place, his footsteps stopped at the entrance of a narrow alley.
In this wet alley, there were some discarded packaging and sundries from the nearby shops. Because of the flow of water, many of the dirty things had become rotten and rotten, emitting a pungent smell.
At this moment, a female beggar wrapped in a blanket was holding a dirty white bread in her hand. She squatted in the corner and silently ate it.
The female beggar's hair was messy and there were still water droplets on it. The shoes on her feet were full of mud. If she was on the street, she would definitely be driven away by the city management.
Yang Cheng frowned. No matter how dirty the beggar in front of him was, he could still distinguish who she was from the outline.
The female beggar seemed to also realize that someone was standing at the entrance of the alley, blocking some of the light. She slowly and carefully raised her head. When her eyes saw that it was Yang Cheng, she immediately showed a trace of horror!
"You … How did you …" The beggar's hand trembled, and the bread directly fell to the ground.
Yang Cheng didn't feel any pity or relief. This woman fell into such a state because she deserved it. Compared to her malicious heart that wanted to kill Lin Ruoxi and himself, letting her live such a bitter life was already not letting her down.
Just as Yang Cheng was about to ignore her and leave, he suddenly saw a crippled homeless man in front of him. He raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng with a trace of doubt, but he immediately turned into the alley.
Squatting in front of Luo Cuishan, the crippled man took out a few coins from his ragged pocket and smiled proudly. "Tomorrow's breakfast is settled. I thought it was hard to ask for money on a rainy day, but I didn't expect that I would give more when it's raining."
Seeing that Luo Cuishan didn't respond, the crippled man realized that the woman was emotionally unstable. Her eyes were filled with all kinds of anger and suppressed fear, as if she didn't dare to face the unfamiliar man at the entrance of the alley …
