Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Going to Find Mom
Translator: 549690339
No matter what, she knew that Sang Zhilan was certain to divorce, and she would definitely not follow along Sang Zhilan’s path in this lifetime.
The next day, Tang Zhinian put an extra layer of clothes on his daughter and then picked her up.
“Daddy, are we going out?”
She asked Tang Zhinian, who was walking out. They were clearly on the road out of the village. Where were they going?
“Yes, daddy is taking you to see mommy.” Tang Zhinian bundled up his daughter with a scarf. Although it was spring, there was still a chill in the air.
“I don’t want mommy,” Tang Yuxin turned her face away. She was long past the age of needing her mother. When she was bitten by a rat, where was her mother? When she was hit by Wei Jiani, where was her mother? When her own sister stole her husband, where was her mother? All her life, she’d only saved up enough for a house. Originally, she planned to have her father move there with her, but they tricked her into handing it over to Wei Jiani first, saying this would help Wei Jiani get married. But who did she marry? She married her sister’s husband, her own brother-in-law.
“Okay, no mommy,” said Tang Zhinian, as he felt the items in his pocket, the family’s household registration and his marriage certificate. He was prepared to divorce. Since it came to this, there was no need to delay any further.
He would also let her go, let her live her own life.
Tang Zhinian held Tang Yuxin and boarded the bus. The bus stop was not far outside the village, just wait by the side of the road. Although Tang Zhinian seldom ventured into the city, he knew the bus schedule. The transport from their village to the city was convenient enough. An hourly service from six in the morning till eight at night, it was the same bus that Sang Zhilan took between Li Tang Village and her workplace.
Sang Zhilan’s workplace was a textile factory in the city, which she had laboured much to enter. After she started working there, she changed, looking down on the village folk, and Tang Zhinian too. No, it should be that she never respected Tang Zhinian. She always felt that marrying him was beneath her. Given her appearance, she really should get married into the city. So when she was working in the city, she never mentioned she was from the village. Also, she was pretty and knew how to dress up, wasn’t she just like a city dweller?
Tang Yuxin sat in the bus, looking out of the not-so-clean window. She knew that at this time in her previous life, none of this had happened. Today, she should have been taken away by Sang Zhilan. She too sat in the same bus, watching the landscapes recede behind her. Signs of wilderness were everywhere, and the bus was bumping here and there. Somehow, she fell asleep amidst the jostling, and knew no more till she woke up again in the Wei Family’s house.
From then on, she went from being the Tang Family’s little princess to the Wei Family’s little cabbage.
She sat obediently in the bus seat, swinging her little feet.
This trip, who knew if they would encounter Wei Tian. If they were lucky, they might really run into him. She’d let her father see clearly the ugliness of Sang Zhilan. Such a woman did not deserve to be someone’s wife or mother.
If only that could happen. She didn’t wish to see them suffer, but she wanted to distance herself from those people. She wouldn’t seek revenge because she didn’t yet have the power to do so, but she also didn’t want them to turn around and hurt her.
