"Mother, weren't those just angry words I spoke to you before? You didn't take them seriously, did you?" Wang Yongan looked pitifully at Old Granny Zhang, having been chased and beaten for quite some time without daring to fight back. His hair had come undone, and his clothes were dirty. Every movement caused a searing pain all over his body—he was truly in a sorry state.
Wang Yongzhu watched Wang Yongan with a cold eye, indeed recognizing him as thick-skinned and black-hearted. Initially, he had intentionally sought to take Wang Yongfu's life, showing no concern for whether his family members lived or died.
Now, however, in his own words, everything was borne of hardship. He claimed it was all for the glory of the Wang Family, and that he had had no choice but to resort to desperate measures.
As for harming Wang Yongfu, that simply wasn't true!
Even taking away the property deeds and selling the land—he was now returning with silver to redeem it all, wasn't he?
