âAhao, youâve just woken up, and I shouldnât be telling you the unpleasant things, but I think you know that Hanhan is not the type to talk behind peopleâs backs. Still, there are things I need to say.â
Given that his daughter-in-law called him dad, as her husband, he naturally also called him dad, âDad, even though I was unconscious during this time, I have some idea of what has been going on. Speak to me, Iâm listening.â Perhaps because he started speaking, his words became more fluent.
âBecause you lost consciousness the same day as Little Huziâs incident, everyone in your village started saying that Little Huzi is a curse, the cause of his fatherâs misfortune. Your wife was ostracized, and these rumors were started by your two sister-in-laws. Your two brothers possibly thought that you wouldnât wake up ever again, so they didnât say anything. As for your parents-in-law, they also thought you were likely to never wake up, and that your family would have to rely on your two brothers. Thus, they chose to keep this a secret.â
Old man Zhao sighed, âBut Hanhan found out about it all and confronted your two older brothers, which caused a falling out. Half a month ago, when I visited you, I found out that Hanhan was doing all the housework, taking care of you and your son, and even feeding the pigs and cutting grass for them. Your parents did not lift a finger to help. Hanhan was so thin back then, she just started to put on some weight over the last half month. She even went into the mountains to pick ginseng for you. This is all I know.â
Yun Haoâs eyes reddened immediately. He truly never imagined that his wife would suffer this much, and that his parents and brothers would treat his wife in this harsh way.
âPlus, your wife moved her household registration to the town. I talked to your parents and proposed you become my son-in-law. They agreed as well.â
Old man Zhao didnât like to gossip, but he honestly believed that it is only during times of crisis that one can see who is truly sincere.
âYou need to treat Hanhan well in the future. Many people said that you would never wake up again. Taking care of you, as well as taking care of a child, is even harder than being a widow. But she persisted. Ahao, you know me, I donât like to gossip. Ultimately, itâs up to you how you want to handle this, but Iâve said all I need to say.â
After Old man Zhao finished speaking, he saw that Little Huzi was about to wake up, and quickly picked him up to change his diaper.
Even though Yun Haoâs body was still a bit stiff after waking up, seeing his wife holding his hand and cradling his son was an incredibly touching scene.
Upon hearing everything that old man Zhao said, he felt a surge of unpleasant emotions that were difficult to accept.
The fact that his parents and brothers, instead of providing help, mistreated his wife and son while he was incapacitated, was truly heartbreaking.
âDad, I understand,â Yun Hao laboriously managed to say only these words.
Old man Zhao put Little Huzi on the bed, âYou two should talk. Little Huzi is the most well-behaved kid I have ever seen, he seldom cries. Otherwise, Hanhan wouldnât be able to manage everything by herself.â
Then he left the room.
While Yun Haoâs body was still somewhat stiff, he noticed his sonâs nimble movements of his small arms and legs.
The child looked just like him and was raised very well by his wife.
Little Huzi?
Is that his name?
Meng Yunhan was cooking in the kitchen while thinking about Yun Haoâs awakening. He really woke up, he really did. Would he blame her for doing something so drastic?
After all, the people involved were his relatives.
Although they did wrongdoing, family ties are not something you can easily sever. She wondered how Yun Hao would handle this situation.
