The next morning, Dad came back. 0
 
He looked exhausted and haggard. 0
 
As soon as he entered the house, he knelt in front of Mom, clutching her legs and crying with tears and snot. 0
 
“Wife, I was wrong!” 0
 
“I can’t live without you!” 0
 
“I really can’t live without you!” 0
 
Dad cried uncontrollably. 0
 
If one didn’t know better, they might think he truly loved Mom. 0
 
“Wife, I have loved you all these years.” 0
 
“That wretched woman can’t compare to you at all!” 0
 
“I only love you!” 0
 
Dad sobbed as he made his accusations. 0
 
Mom listened quietly, her expression blank. 0
 
Seeing this, Dad cried even harder. 0
 
I watched him with cold eyes, unimpressed by his performance. 0
 
This was how Dad used to deceive Mom! 0
 
She was soft-hearted and always forgave him. 0
 
As a result, Dad became even more reckless in hurting her! 0
 
In this lifetime, I would never let him have his way! 0
 
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. 0
 
Dad still had dark circles under his eyes; the skin beneath was a deep shade of blue-black. It seemed he really hadn’t slept a wink all night. 0
 
But I knew it wasn’t because he missed Mom. 0
 
It was because Grandma, who was staying in the hospital, had kept him up all night! 0
 
 
Grandma favored sons over daughters and had always looked down on Mom. 0
 
She constantly nagged about wanting a son to inherit the family business and carry on the Chu Family lineage. 0
 
In his helplessness, Dad sought out another woman to have children. 0
 
Meanwhile, Grandma pressured Mom to drink various folk remedies to conceive a son. 0
 
Dad couldn't bear to see Mom suffer, so he secretly had the mistress get pregnant. 0
 
His actions were driven by both his desires and the need to prove to Grandma that he was capable. 0
 
But he never expected that Grandma would actually encourage him to get a divorce! 0
 
That’s when Dad started to panic. 0
 
What benefits would a divorce bring him? 0
 
Not only would his years of being a Filial Son crumble, but he would also lose Mom's care and Grandpa's inheritance! 0
 
Dad worked in a bureaucratic job with a meager salary. 0
 
To earn more money, he forced Mom to sell goods on the street to support the family. 0
 
Meanwhile, he was responsible for pleasing Grandma and Grandpa to maintain his reputation as "filial." 0
 
After all, in Grandma's eyes, only Dad was her support! 0
 
Even Dad's job was secured through connections that Grandma had arranged. 0
 
Mom, lacking family support, had to rely solely on her own efforts to provide for everyone. 0
 
Dad knew very well that he had wronged Mom over the years. 0
 
Yet he took advantage of her love for him, for their family, and recklessly hurt her! 0
 
Now, realizing he couldn't divorce Mom, Dad devised a sob story to win her back. 0
 
Sure enough, he said, “Wife, everything I’ve done over the years has been for you!” 0
 
“The Old Chu Family has no descendants; Mom has always pressured you to drink those remedies for a son.” 0
 
“I felt sorry for you, which is why I sought out another woman to have children.” 0
 
 
"But I don't love her at all!" 0
 
"I just want you to be with me, my wife..." 0
 
Dad cried out, tears streaming down his face. 0
 
Mom listened quietly. 0
 
Seeing this, Dad cried even harder. 0
 
I couldn't bear to watch any longer. 0
 
His fake display of sorrow disgusted me! 0
 
Since he loved to put on this tragic act, I would let him perform to his heart's content! 0
 
I gently tugged at Mom's sleeve. 0
 
She understood. 0
 
With a sob, she threw herself into Dad's arms. 0
 
"Honey, I'm sorry!" 0
 
"It's my fault for not being able to give the Chu Family a son!" 0
 
"Honey, go ahead and hit me!" 0
 
Mom cried until her voice was hoarse. 0
 
Dad was stunned. 0
 
He stared blankly at Mom. "Wife, what are you saying?" 0
 
Mom cried even harder. 0
