She was completely in the dark about the morning’s events and the reasons behind Mrs. Wang’s decision to send Aunt Yang away. Gu Zi couldn’t help but sense a connection to the red packet money Aunt Yang had received. As she continued to clean the wild onions, her ears strained to catch the conversation outside.

Someone asked, “Do you think Yang Tao would have treated Aunt Yang better if she hadn’t remarried?” After all, Yang Tao must have faced hardships when Aunt Yang entered her second marriage.

After her divorce, Aunt Yang had lived alone with Yang Tao for seven years before marrying her second husband and having a daughter. The second husband was an honest man, but his extended family had a penchant for gossip, often spreading rumors about Aunt Yang behind her back. Even her second husband’s sisters-in-law delighted in sowing discord, gradually causing friction between Aunt Yang and her husband. It was clear that Yang Tao had suffered greatly from this turmoil.

Later, Aunt Yang’s second husband fell ill, and she dutifully cared for him until his passing. It was a string of unfortunate events, one leading to another. All the hardships in life seemed to fall upon Aunt Yang.

Someone chimed in, “Actually, Yang Tao’s attitude doesn’t stem from Aunt Yang’s remarriage. It’s because he truly doesn’t want her to remarry. Imagine, a mother being treated this way by her son and daughter-in-law just because she couldn’t establish a family business for her son when she was young — what’s the point of having children?”

People often said that having children ensured you wouldn’t grow old alone, but if all children were like Yang Tao, what was the point? If everyone shared his mentality, how many elderly villagers would be driven out of their homes?

Yang Tao’s father had been irresponsible, and it was inevitable that Aunt Yang suffered as a result. Aunt Yang had the ability to build a family business, but Yang Tao’s father had been a burden. Even after their divorce, she had to help him pay off his debts. She had to work tirelessly to provide for herself and her son. How could she accumulate wealth and establish a thriving family business under such circumstances?

Aunt Yang’s father, Old Secretary Yang, was a good official. He did things honestly and never used his power.

Aunt Yang’s father, Old Secretary Yang, had been an upright official who never abused his power. However, after his departure, the Yang family lost their status in the village’s official circles. Their once-glittering reputation had faded, and someone else had taken Aunt Yang’s position as the head of the women’s department.

Earning money as a woman in the countryside was no easy feat.
