"Honey, I..."
Just as Wang Li was about to speak and defend herself, Tang Hao, after taking a sip of his drink, said indifferently, "What about you? Our marriage has come to an end today. Pack up your things. I’ll take you back to your hometown tomorrow."
Tang Hao was very resolute, and Wang Li knew that whatever she said now would be useless.
Tang Hao then turned to Zhu Quanyou and said, "The Houshan Ancestral Hall is short-staffed. You don’t need to come to my house anymore. Go help out at the ancestral hall."
With just a few sentences, Tang Hao had made arrangements for both of them.
Both knew they had done things that wronged Tang Hao, so after he made the arrangements, they did not say much and turned to leave.
This meal was destined to be eaten with great bitterness and discomfort.
Tang Hao did not show any signs of sadness, but Song Bing cried as he ate, even more heartbroken than Tang Hao.
After the meal, although Tang Hao had originally planned to take Wu Bin and the others for a visit to the Houshan Ancestral Hall, this plan was now canceled.
Tang Hao said to Song Bing, "It has been raining on the mountain recently; the soil is quite loose and very dangerous. Don’t go to Houshan for the time being. Just play at home."
"Xiao Bing, didn’t you say last time you liked a certain game console? I’ve asked someone to buy it for you online. You can try it out when you get back."
"Alright, hurry back, so your parents don’t worry."
After Tang Hao finished speaking, he let Song Bing and the others leave.
Leaving Tang Hao’s house, Song Bing still looked very dejected.
Wu Bin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, don’t think too much. Just like your uncle said, everyone has their own choices, and we can’t change others. Just do your part well. Let’s head back."
Hearing Wu Bin’s words, Song Bing quickly adjusted his emotions.
He took Wu Bin and the others back home, and as soon as they arrived, they found their parents sitting in the living room watching TV.
Seeing Song Bing and the others return, Song Ren and Tang Qiufeng both looked puzzled.
"Why are you back so early? Wasn’t your uncle going to take you to Houshan for a visit?"
Song Bing walked over unhappily and recounted everything that happened today to his parents.
After listening, the couple remained silent.
A moment later, Tang Qiufeng angrily said, "I’ve said it before, that Wang Li never looked like any good. Always prancing around; those clothes she wears, can they even be called clothes? She’d probably prefer to go without them!"
"No, I have to check on Tang Hao. I’m worried he might do something foolish."
As she was about to get up and head out, Song Ren stopped her with an outstretched hand.
"Enough, don’t add to the chaos at this time. The situation has already happened, what good would your going do? Are you planning to have a fight with Wang Li?"
"These things are most humiliating for a man, and what he needs most now is to digest it slowly on his own and lick his wounds. By going to him now, wouldn’t you just be adding to his troubles?"
On closer thought, Tang Qiufeng realized he was right.
Being cuckolded may not cause much physical damage to Tang Hao, but it can deal a great blow to his spirit.
Just as Song Ren said, men value their pride.
Having one’s wife run off with someone else mainly hurts one’s pride.
So what Tang Hao needs now is not the comfort of anyone; he just hopes that friends and family will temporarily forget him, not to think about him and let him accept the situation slowly on his own.
Tang Qiufeng sighed and said, "Why is my brother’s life so bitter!"
Tang Qiufeng spoke and then looked towards Song Bing, saying, "You’ve seen what’s happening with your aunt. You should take it as a warning. When you find a wife, make sure to find someone dependable, not those flashy types. What’s the use of being pretty? In the end, if she runs off with someone else, you won’t even have a place to cry, will you?"
Song Bing was somewhat embarrassed by the side.
How did the conversation turn to him all of a sudden?
"Alright, there’s nothing for you here, take your friend to the room to play. Your uncle bought you the latest game console, go install it yourself."
Clearly, Tang Qiufeng and Song Ren needed some space to discuss this matter.
After all, this was a major issue for their entire family.
Their reputation in the village was very high, and now with this incident, it was likely that for a long time to come, people in the village would be pointing fingers at them.
Upon reaching the living room on the second floor, Song Bing indeed spotted the new game console in front of the TV.
If that incident hadn’t occurred today, Song Bing would have been extremely happy to see the new game console.
But now, seeing the new game console only made him feel incredibly upset.
That was his own uncle!
His own uncle was so good to him, and he couldn’t do anything in return; he felt utterly unqualified as a nephew.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Song Bing set up the game console and connected it to the TV.
The moment the main interface of the game console appeared, the viewers in the live stream went wild.
"Holy shit, did he buy all the games? His uncle is really rich!"
"Buying all these games must cost tens of thousands, he has once again reset my understanding of rich people; this is real wealth."
"So jealous! I thought having a game console like this was already a sign of wealth, but I didn’t expect someone to buy all the games as well, that’s just too cool!"
"What a great uncle, how could he have been cheated on?"
Not only did the viewers feel pity, but Song Bing, looking at the pile of games, also felt sorrow rise from his heart.
He simply couldn’t understand, why couldn’t Wang Li appreciate someone as good as Tang Hao?
Wu Bin noticed Song Bing’s sadness and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, Old Song, let the elders handle their own affairs."
"Come on, don’t think about anything else, I’ll play games with you."
Just as Wu Bin and Song Bing picked up the controllers and were about to start playing, a booming rumble suddenly came from outside the window, and the entire villa began to shake violently.
"Is it an earthquake?"
Song Bing and Wu Bin tried to stand up and run outside immediately, but the shaking was too intense, and they couldn’t keep their balance.
The shaking lasted for a full minute.
When the shaking stopped, Song Bing and the others ran out of the villa.
The villagers also ran out of their houses.
It was at this time that someone shouted.
"Look at Houshan Ancestral Hall! Something’s happened, a big disaster!"
When Wu Bin and the others looked up, they saw a large area of mountain landslide in the direction of Houshan!
