Shao Yunduan felt a warmth in his heart and nodded. "Mom, thank you!"
Ms. Fang smiled and replied, "Don't mention it. It's nothing!"
Eldest Uncle felt a sense of isolation, and his heart felt empty. He began to lose interest.
He felt unjust. As a father, he didn't intend to harm his son. He only wanted Yunduan to improve so that the whole family could prosper.
Yunduan was a Recommended Man, and he needed to be modest and cautious to avoid giving people a reason to gossip. Those words wouldn't be well-received.
The Zhang Family's behavior was excessive, but the Land Officer was not entirely wrong. The children were still young, and Ms. Zhang's preference for her mother's family was her only mistake. If she were at the door, she must be feeling guilty about it. She could make a promise to never do it again, so why be so harsh?
He genuinely wanted the whole family to live in harmony. Why was there nobody who understood him?
