I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

"Mother, what is father's true attitude towards my marriage to Yuanyuan?" Tang Wenhao had never expected that his mother's opposition at the time had a double meaning - it was a test of her determination and also a protection for Yuanyuan. This sudden turn of events made him feel mixed emotions.

Li Yuwan gently stroked the back of Tang Wenhao's hand, her eyes full of tenderness and love: "Child, I promised you that day that when your father came back, I would try my best to persuade him to accept Yuanyuan. That night, I had a long talk with your father, telling him the reason why I tested you, the times you came to see me and what I said, and how you stood under the scorching sun that day. I told him everything."

"So, what was father's reaction after hearing this?" Tang Wenhao's voice trembled slightly.

"After hearing this, your father didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed out loud. His laughter was full of satisfaction and pride. He said, 'Wenhao is worthy of being our son. His persistence and determination make me feel like I'm younger. His stubbornness is just like ours when we were young. Once he sets his goal, nothing can stop him.' At that moment, I had never seen him laugh so happily."

Hearing this, Tang Wenhao felt a warm current in his heart, but was immediately shrouded in doubt: "If that's the case, why did my father show such a firm opposition before, even at the cost of... Is there something hidden in this that I don't know?"

Li Yuwan's eyes became deep. She looked at Tang Wenhao's eyes that were longing for the truth, but she still felt a little reluctant. "Yes, Wenhao, this is what I want to tell you, your father's difficulties."

At this point, Li Yuwan's eyes slightly reddened, "Wenhao, do you really want to listen to this? Because what's coming next may make you even more heartbroken."

Tang Wenhao stood up and knelt down in front of his mother. "Mother, I have only begged you twice since I was born. The first time was to ask you to agree to my relationship with Yuanyuan. The second time is today. I beg you to tell me the truth. I have grown up and can take on responsibilities."

Seeing this, Li Yuwan quickly stood up and gently helped her son up with both hands, her eyes full of heartache and relief. "Wenhao, my good child, how could your mother have the heart to refuse your request. Come, let's sit down, and your mother will tell you everything."

After the two of them sat down, Li Yuwan began to tell the story of that day three years ago...

"Your father and I once fought against our family for love, and we know how difficult it is. So, when we saw your relationship with Yuanyuan, we hoped that you could walk steadily and go far. We are not against you, but we hope that you can consider it carefully. Of course, we also understand that love cannot be measured by reason. You may feel that you are the only one in each other's life now, but the road ahead is still long, and you need to experience more things to understand each other better.

However, I also know that your grandfather's opposition to us actually hurt your father's heart, so I discussed with your father and decided that your test would end here. We need to meet Yuanyuan in person to understand her thoughts and see if she is really willing to spend her life with you. After all, marriage is a matter between two people and requires joint efforts and dedication from both sides. "

Tang Wenhao sat up straight, as if he could listen more carefully this way.

"So the next day, your father and I went to the steamed bun stand. Before we went, your father changed into simple clothes. We sat there and ate steamed buns like ordinary diners. At the same time, he asked Madam Yuan to pretend to be a beggar, hoping to observe whether Yuanyuan was as innocent and kind as you said."

Li Yuwan sighed softly and continued, "Madame Yuan showed up at the right time as we arranged. She was ragged and haggard, as if she was really a homeless beggar. When she trembled and walked up to Yuanyuan and asked if she could give her a steamed bun so that she could help her clean the table, we all held our breath, waiting for her reaction."

Li Yuwan’s thoughts also drifted back to that day.

Chen Yuanyuan chose to ignore it. No matter how much Nanny Yuan begged her, she pretended not to hear. Li Yuwan and Tang Yingchen were a little surprised, so they winked at Nanny Yuan, asking her to try to get closer to Chen Yuanyuan. However, unexpectedly, Nanny Yuan just moved a little closer, and Chen Yuanyuan's face instantly became colder than ice in winter. Her eyes suddenly glared, full of disgust and disdain, as if she was looking at an untouchable stain.

"Oh, what are you doing!" Chen Yuanyuan's voice was sharp and piercing, attracting the attention of everyone around her. She stood up suddenly and leaned back, as if she was afraid that Nanny Yuan would defile her if she came any closer.

"Stay away from me, it's so dirty!" Chen Yuanyuan said as she waved her arms vigorously, as if to dispel something ominous. Her face was full of disgust, and the corners of her mouth were tilted downward, forming a deep arc that seemed to be able to hold a heavy lock.

Nanny Yuan was frightened by the sudden scolding and stopped moving her hands. She stood there in a daze, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

But Chen Yuanyuan seemed not to notice all this. She continued to yell, her voice full of impatience and anger: "You old beggar woman, how can you be so tactless? You dare to come here to beg without even looking at where you are! And you dare to get so close to me! Go away, go away, don't be an eyesore here!"

As she spoke, Chen Yuanyuan pinched her nose in disgust, as if the air was filled with an unbearable stench. Her movements were so exaggerated that Chen Yuanyuan at this moment was completely devoid of the gentleness, innocence and kindness described by Tang Wenhao. Her every movement, every look, every word was like a sharp knife, deeply hurting Li Yuwan and Tang Yingchen's hearts.
