When Grandma Feng looked up, she saw her daughter-in-law standing there, staring back at her in confusion. Ignoring the others beside her, Grandma Feng rushed over and hugged her tightly.
She patted her back and said with sobs, "Ah Yue, you are finally back. My poor child, what happened to you? Why did you leave without saying a word? Do you know how sad your son was when he found out you were gone?"
Hearing her words, the man standing beside Ye Xinyue clenched his fists before saying, "Comrade, the weather is hot. Yue’er can’t stand the heat, so let’s talk inside."
At his words, Grandpa and Grandma Feng looked at him and their daughter-in-law in shock. Observing their matching clothes and harmonious demeanor, they appeared to be a perfect pair.
As these thoughts crossed their minds, their faces turned pale.
Seeing their reaction, Ye Xinyue’s heart filled with panic, but she forced the emotion down. Holding Grandma Feng’s hands, she said, "Aunty, this is my husband, He Xieyu."
The moment she spoke, a girl’s voice asked with shock, "You are married?"
Turning around, they saw a boy and a girl staring at them from the entrance. The girl’s eyes were wide with disbelief, while the boy’s expression was cold and distant, as though he were looking at a stranger.
The villagers looked at this scene with surprise and jealousy on the side. Many people are jealous of Ye Xinyue because she is the most beautiful girl in the village, and she is smart and lucky. She found a job in the city and had a good in-law.
Therefore, when they learned that she was divorced and kicked out by her husband, they gloated over her misfortune for so many years. They also pointed at her son and scolded him to vent their jealousy towards the mother.
They thought she would die outside. Who knew she would come back five years later with a better man than her ex-husband?
Seeing her with such a good figure and dressed so fashionably, everyone’s eyes turned green with envy.
When Ye Xinyue’s eyes met Feng Lin’s eyes, her heart trembled. She took a step forward and reached out, calling hoarsely, "Xiao Lin."
Feng Lin stood still as he looked at his mother. He clenched his trembling fists tightly but said nothing. The face of his mother in his memories overlapped with this woman, leaving no doubt in his mind that she was his mother.
Unlike his father’s betrayal, his mother’s departure left deeper scars. He had depended on and trusted her wholeheartedly, only to be abandoned.
Before Ye Xinyue could touch him, Feng Lin took a step back and said coldly, "Since you abandoned me and already have a new family, there is no need for you to come back. Please leave."
Seeing her cry so bitterly, He Xieyu walked over and hugged her. He didn’t say comforting words as they were meaningless at this point. Instead, he gently patted her back and let out a long sigh. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
After a while, Grandpa Feng sighed and said, "Let’s go inside."
Grandma Feng still felt uneasy seeing her daughter-in-law with another man, but what could she say?
Her son divorced her daughter-in-law and married another woman. Apart from being Feng Lin’s parents, the two no longer have any other ties. Thus, she has no right to voice her opinion about her former daughter-in-law.
Once they entered the house, the villagers who had been watching dispersed. Today, they would have a new topic to discuss during their meal!
In the living room, Grandma Feng poured cold tea for everyone before sitting beside her husband. She clasped her hands tightly, restraining herself from asking Feng Lin’s mother why she hadn’t returned for so many years to see her son.
After everyone had their tea, Grandpa Feng spoke, "Ah Yue, I know what my son did to you back then was wrong, and you had every right to remarry. But why didn’t you come back to see your son?"
"In these five years, I have watched Ah Lin wait for you, full of hope and worry. He waited for you every day and night for over three years."
"When he turned six, he told me he didn’t want you or his father anymore. He didn’t cry or make a fuss. At that moment, I knew he no longer had any expectations from either of you. Now that you are remarried, I hope you live a happy life—you deserve it."
