My Alleged Husband

Chapter 795: Chapter 762 Reluctance_2

Ran Zhihan actually didn’t mean that at all. He just wanted his mother to know that even if his father lay there, they should stand outside and wait for a miracle to happen. As long as there is hope, a miracle might really descend upon them. If there had been no hope for these past years, how could he speak of being saved by a miracle?

”Mom, how can you say that about Zhihan?”

You clearly know he’s just concerned about you all, which is why he would say such a thing. Since he’s expressing his concern, why can’t you try to understand him? Must you speak to him in that tone? Is it also wrong for him to be concerned about you? He’s part of this family and has painstakingly taken care of our lives for so many years. Doesn’t he deserve to show his concern?

I really don’t want the two of you to quarrel over anything anymore. Things have already turned into a complete mess, and our home has become disrupted, as if turned upside down. If a dispute arises here, I honestly don’t know what I would do next!

I’ve said that I can forgive your mistakes, but that doesn’t mean you can hurt my family member time and again without care. She is my wife who has been by my side for so many years, bravely weathering all hardships, and who has suffered immensely because of your issues. She gave birth to the Zhang Family’s heir, my son. With such repeated acts, do you not have a shred of conscience? What is the reason for all this – don’t you really know?

Can’t you reflect on whether what you’re doing is right each time? Where are you positioning each one of us? What do you take us for? Don’t you realize how passive this makes us all? We are humans, not gods; we can’t keep forgiving all faults over and over again. Just because we don’t speak up about some matters doesn’t mean we’re unaware—we choose silence. But if we were to voice out, it would only damage our relationships, ruin the harmony that could have been. We really don’t want that to happen.”

”Yichen, I really didn’t mean that, and I wasn’t trying to attack her. I just wanted to tell her not to get involved, as it’s ultimately a matter between your father and me. As a daughter-in-law, is it appropriate for her to meddle in her in-laws’ affairs? Even if she really must intervene, shouldn’t she avoid making such remarks publicly? She explicitly pointed out the mistakes of both your father and me. Isn’t it better to discuss family matters at home than to air our dirty laundry in public? Does she so wish for our issues with your father to be known to all and to be embarrassed in front of others?”

Xiao Wei knew his sister didn’t mean that, and he understood that she only spoke out to suppress the matter, not wanting her husband to be subject to public scrutiny. Even if it were about him, he wouldn’t care, since all the troubles stemmed from him. Why should he care about unnecessary reputations?

But his brother-in-law couldn’t do that. He was already dragged down into this mess and now lay here like this. What reason did she have to expose them both to public judgment? That would only cause even greater harm to his reputation. Such eventualities must be absolutely prevented.

”Yichen, how can you speak to your mother like that? You should consider why your uncle advised your mother to say those things. Discussing family affairs in public isn’t quite proper, as these should be kept within the home, shouldn’t they? Bringing everything into the open is like disregarding your parents’ reputation entirely. Think carefully about why your mother was so enraged!”

Zhang Yichen was furious. He couldn’t listen to their reasoning. He felt everything his mother was doing was hypocritical, and all she wanted was to seek justice for his wife.

”Uncle, I don’t care what you say now, I simply won’t believe it. No matter how you try to coax me with your reasons, I won’t believe it. No matter what he says, I’m even less likely to believe it. I just can’t believe that even now, he refuses to repent and has caused such trouble. And here he is, trying to justify himself. Is this really amusing to him?”

”Child, you really shouldn’t speak that way. Your words will deeply hurt your mother’s heart. Some things are over, so why bring them up over and over again? Do you think it’s fair to anyone? Do they truly deserve to be subjected to public opinion time after time?

I understand that you’re attacking your mother just to claim justice for your wife. But is it right for a man to strike at his own mother in the process of seeking justice for his wife? As a man, you should stand tall and protect your family, your wife, your parents, from any harm. But by doing this, aren’t you harming your own parents to protect your wife? Do you think that’s the right thing to do?

After all these years of studying, don’t you understand such basic principles? By hurting your parents, where are you placing them? What are their innermost feelings? Have you ever considered that?

It was not easy for your parents to bring you up, so stop repeatedly using these methods to hurt them. Otherwise, one day your parents will leave you. If you let that happen, how could you be at peace within yourself? Your heart won’t be perturbed at all, will it, if word spreads that you’ve insulted your mother, chased her out of the house, or that your father is lying in the hospital because of you, never to wake up again? People will only say you care for beauty, not for the realm, and even less for your own parents!”

Xiao Wei knew the words he had just spoken were a bit harsh, but he couldn’t help it. He truly didn’t want such things to befall his sister again.

He knew his sister was very fragile inside and couldn’t withstand any more blows. If such incidents kept happening, there was no telling what extreme actions she might take. He didn’t want his sister to be hurt.
