My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1789 - 1583: No News

Could it be that until now, I’m the only one who can’t let go?

Have you really given up on me? Given up on coming back to my side?

"Grandfather, I know every word you say makes sense, and I know every word you speak is for my own good. I understand even more that everything you do is for the good of those in this family. But he’s my own son. How can I bear to watch him train so hard, trying to prove to his grandparents that he’s a good child, living with such difficulty? I watch his daily training, and as a mother, my heart aches terribly. Time and again, he falls, getting bruised all over, but he has to swallow his tears and get up to continue training. This is not a one-time ordeal; to a mother, it’s heart-wrenching pain that no one can understand. A mother’s love for her child is different from a father’s love. A father’s love may be selfless, but a mother’s love is selfish. I have to selfishly consider my son’s welfare; I can’t watch my son jump into the fire pit again and again. I can’t do it. Whenever I see him injured, my heart is filled with pain. I really want to rush over and interrupt his training, but I can’t do that. There are laws in the country and rules in the family. This is the path he’s chosen, and he indeed should bear the consequences himself. Does a child have any fault?"

"Child, perhaps you haven’t understood until now. This isn’t about whether there’s a mistake, but rather whether this should be done at all. Since he chose this path, he must walk it alone. There is no one who can help him, nor anyone who can bear it for him. Everyone chooses a different path, and naturally, the outcomes they bear are different too. If he chose this path, then what reason do you have to regret it?

I know you feel sorry for your son; he’s a part of my family too. How could I not feel sorry for him? But feeling sorry is one thing; some things cannot be violated, even if they must proceed as they should. Do you understand?

Although you see your child training so hard, and it pains your heart, have you thought that one day this training will benefit him? He will no longer be helpless when encountering difficulties; he will know what help he needs. This is very beneficial for a child’s growth. You can’t let selfish maternal love deprive your son of his right to grow.

If you think you’re right, then please reflect on how to end these matters peacefully. I don’t know what’s happening between you and your husband, but you both should consider things from the perspective of your child, shouldn’t you? The child isn’t young anymore; he knows right from wrong. If you both easily give up on your child, won’t your hearts be filled with regret and guilt for a lifetime?"

"Grandfather, to be honest with you, a middle school classmate of mine showed up, and my husband has argued with me multiple times because of it. Do you think I still have a reason to keep living with him? I can’t endure it. I can’t stand him suspecting me again and again. You know the most important thing in a marriage is mutual trust. Without it, what’s the purpose of living together?

I also understand that for him, as a man, he has his own pride. But doesn’t a woman have dignity too? Doesn’t my heart ache? When he suspects me time and again, how does he regard me? Has he considered my feelings? I’m not asking for much; to me, living a happy and harmonious life as a family is enough. But it seems to him I’m asking too much. He has never considered what I really want. He always imposes his ideas on me without consideration. Do you think this is fair to me? If I can’t even get fair treatment, then why should I continue to live like a beast of burden in this family and live with him?

I know many people think that because I’m common, I married him just for his wealth. But I ask myself, I’ve never craved his money. On this point, my conscience is clear wherever I go. I don’t care how much money he can give me. What’s important is whether I can spend my life with a man I love. Yet, I finally realize, no matter how much I loved him at first, there’s no way for us to reach the end together!

Grandfather, do you understand the feeling of unable to live or die, the feeling of being repeatedly insulted by your own family? Maybe you haven’t endured it, but I really can’t bear such blows anymore. No matter how much I love him, I can’t endure a man who repeatedly insults my character with words and still must live with him devotedly for life."

Old Master Zhang had no idea what his grandson had said to anger his granddaughter-in-law so much. Perhaps things weren’t as simple as he imagined, but why must they make such a fuss and refuse to reconcile? Clearly, these matters could be resolved peacefully; what was the point of continuous conflict?

"A child should have a mother who, at the very least, is willing to sacrifice everything for her son!

Isn’t everyone in the world willing to give up everything for their children? If you can discard all your pride for your son, how could your husband not care about you? His suspicion of you is because he cares too much; he has his own insecurities, and he fears losing you. Trust between spouses is mutual. You respect him; he respects your son. Once one party does something to wrong the other, there will definitely be conflict. These truths you should understand!

Think carefully; if you believe leaving is best, then I will not stop you. But I hope you think clearly that you have a five-year-old child waiting at home. Could you really bear to leave?"

As Zhang Yichen thought, tears began to fall. He truly hadn’t anticipated things to turn out this way.
