Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Feng glanced at Shao Xiang, and his eyes immediately revealed a look of admiration.
His aunt may have been defeated for the moment, but she quickly blinked and regained her previous imposing manner. “A day’s wellness depends on a good start, do you understand?!
“One look and I can tell that you haven’t gone to school much. I won’t blame you for it!” The woman crossed her arms in front of her chest and slightly raised her chin as she stared at Shao Xiang with disdain.
“Let me tell you, I’m rousing them early for their own good! How can they live a good life when they’re so lazy every day!” The more the aunt spoke, the more she felt that she had a point.
Shao Xiang ignored her. “It’s not up to you to tell us how to live our lives!
“If you have any ideas, please go back and tell your own grandchildren first!” Shao Xiang also raised her chin and did not lose to her aunt in terms of poise.
Although Shao Xiang had never been to school, she had never felt that it was a crime to be uneducated.
After all, this was the result of the times. She did not intend to lose sleep over such a matter.
When Shao Xiang actually mentioned her grandchildren, He Feng’s aunt almost fainted from anger.
If one were to talk about her life, it could be considered to be a miserable one.
When she was young, she was also a famous beauty in the neighborhood.
Because of her beauty and a few years of schooling, she always felt that she was superior to others.
When she was in her twenties, many people pursued her, but most of them did not catch her eye.
At that time, her aunt felt that she had to find someone who she could look up to in her life.
However, a few years passed in the blink of an eye.
Fewer and fewer men were left chasing after her. She soon realized that she was over thirty and still had no partner.
Her family finally became anxious.
He Feng’s father was already married at that time. He Feng was about to be born, yet his aunt was still not settled.
He Feng’s grandparents relied on the connections of relatives and friends around them to find a partner for his aunt.
Unfortunately, those who were familiar with his aunt were hurt by her arrogant attitude. No one was willing to try again.
Some people even complained that his aunt was over thirty years old.
He Feng’s grandparents had no choice but to ask someone to introduce a migrant worker to her.
Although that person was poor, he was honest and had no one to rely on in the city. At least he was willing to treat his aunt well.
At that time, she was finally mellowed. She was ready to spend some time with the man and began to live the life of a woman who washed her hands and made soup.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them were already engaged, the man’s girlfriend from his hometown came looking for them.
All of a sudden, everything was thrown into chaos.
The man’s girlfriend ran to He Feng’s grandparents’ house and made a big fuss, saying that his aunt had stolen someone else’s man.
Just like that, his aunt was inexplicably labeled as someone who destroyed other people’s families.
In that era, such a reputation was fatal!
Later on, the man knelt in front of He Feng’s grandparents’ house and begged for his aunt’s forgiveness, saying that he had long cut off contact with that woman.
Although his aunt could not bring it in herself to forgive him, she could not endure her parents’ pleas. She was also fed up with the people around her pointing fingers at her, so she nodded and agreed to marry the man.
However, just a week before the wedding, the man took away all of her savings and the money they had pooled and eloped with that woman!
From then on, her aunt became more extreme and hated men even more. She hated people who destroyed other people’s families!
She never got to marry. After He Feng’s father passed away, she took on the responsibility of taking care of He Feng.
Later on, He Feng worked and took care of his aunt as if she were his mother.
However, his aunt and He Feng were both stubborn people.
Although He Feng respected his aunt, they would always part on bad terms because of some differences in opinions. Fortunately, He Feng was not always at home because of his work.
The thing his aunt could not stand the most was seeing He Feng get a divorce. She could not stand seeing He Feng get together with a fellow divorcee!
