Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Thinking about how stupid he was at that time, it was so obvious, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Later, your mother started burning charcoal a few months after giving birth to you..." When Chen Bainian said this, his voice became choked.

"After your mother died, I started to panic and asked someone to investigate, but the answer I got was that your mother was depressed because of postpartum depression. I... I didn't believe it. Mingming, Mingming was such a wonderful person, such a cheerful person, how could she be depressed? But I asked the court doctor, and he told me that your mother had taken medicine many times without my knowledge..."

Chen Bainian could no longer speak and began to sob.

Chen Yan'er had never seen a father like this before, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort him.

I could only reach out and pat his back irregularly.

But I couldn't utter a word of comfort.

My mother's death was related to him. If he had paid more attention back then, perhaps my mother would not have passed away.

If her mother were still alive, she wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.

She was raised by a wet nurse. Although the wet nurse did not treat her harshly, she was not her biological mother after all.

Whenever she saw her aunt-in-law and cousin getting along, she would secretly envy them.

She also asked her wet nurse countless times why her mother left her.

The wet nurse just shook her head and looked at her with pity in her eyes.

She also heard the old people in the mansion talk about her mother in private.

The mother they talk about is open-minded and extremely virtuous.

But such a woman was eventually trapped in the backyard and ended up like that.

She didn't really think that her mother was suffering from simple postpartum depression. She had seen the old woman's methods.

She is very good at playing tricks on others. Just like her, no matter how well she does, the old queen will still beat her to a pulp.

If she hadn't gotten along with the Leng family later, she would probably have been stuck in that state of self-denial forever.

It was only after getting along with the Leng family that she realized that a real family should not be like theirs.

Real family will give you affirmation, and even if you don’t do well, the government will still praise you and encourage you.

Instead of being like an old woman who finds fault with everything and wants to say that you are worthless.

That's not what real family would do at all.

She thought that perhaps her mother did such a thing because of the old woman's constant denial!

In fact, it's not just her mother. If she hadn't met the Leng family and been warmed by their care, she would have fallen into self-doubt. In the end...

After all, the old woman and her family of pests are best at attacking people's minds. Until now, she feels suffocated when she thinks of the scenes she had with them before.

I think this must have been my mother's mentality before she died!

She has no literary talent, not only does she not fit in with the nobles in the capital, but she is also bullied by the old woman at home. It’s impossible for her to think it through!

Seeing that Chen Bainian's sobbing had subsided, Chen Yan'er withdrew her hand and asked, "Do my uncle and the others know about Mom's situation?"

Chen Bainian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't tell them about this. I told them the same thing as I did to others. I just said that I didn't take good care of myself after giving birth."

In fact, it was the old woman who came up with this idea for him. In her words, he still had to gain a foothold in the capital, and if the news of his wife's suicide were to get out, it would inevitably be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

He still has hungry children to feed, and he cannot do anything that will ruin his future.

Now that she thinks about it, she wasn't really thinking about him at all. She was only concerned about her own glory.

In addition, if this matter is really known to outsiders, they will definitely find clues and will definitely implicate her.

At this moment, Chen Bainian seemed as if all the meridians in his body were opened up, and his mind became more flexible.

People may be so strange. Once you really see through a person, all her previous disguises will be exposed.

We will also analyze her actions in more depth.

But what’s the use of him figuring it out now!

The people I cared about are long gone.

Chen Bainian pulled his hair in frustration and hit his head with his fist.

He kept muttering, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."

Chen Yan'er felt a little distressed when she saw this, so she reached out to stop him and said softly, "Dad, Mom is gone, and those people are gone too. Even if you blame yourself..." She wanted to say that it was useless, but after thinking about it, she stopped talking.

Changing the subject, he said, "Don't tell my uncle and grandpa about this. No matter what, mother is gone, and those who harmed her are also dead. Although it's a pity that we couldn't avenge her with our own hands, we who are still alive still have to live."

She had selfish motives. If her uncles and the others knew the whole story and that her father had done nothing about her mother's death, they would definitely feel alienated.

It will only make it more difficult for both parties to get along with each other.

Chen Bainian lowered his head and nodded. Now that he had said it all, he felt that he was almost too ashamed to see his daughter again.

He also understood what his daughter meant. She just wanted to save face for him in front of his father-in-law and uncle.

Although he wanted to confess, he understood the key point after she said that.

It doesn't matter if I am blamed, but how will my daughter cope with it in the future?

She has lived through such a hard time for so long, and he cannot let his daughter fall into a dilemma because of him.

Even though I felt guilty towards my father-in-law and uncle, I had no choice but to continue to be an ignorant blind man.

I just hope that I can be filial to my father-in-law for the rest of my life to atone for my sins!

Li Tianze, who was sitting not far from them and leaning against a big tree, heard everything they said.

I have a better understanding of Chen Bainian's character.

I used to think he was honest, but now I know he is also a fool who is foolishly filial.

He shook his head slightly and closed his eyes.

As an outsider, he naturally would not interfere in matters that the father and daughter had already discussed.

Everyone has his or her own life, and if you make a mistake you have to bear the consequences.

I believe that Chen Bainian will be condemned by his conscience every day for the rest of his life!

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with outsiders like them.

In the afternoon of the third day.

Everyone arrived at Nanwang Mountain just as the sun was setting.

Based on his memory, Chen Bainian successfully brought everyone to the place where the Maolu tribe lived.

From afar, a village stood in the valley. At the entrance of the village, several wooden stakes were used to make a gate-like shape, and the word "thatched cottage" was carved in wood above the gate.

The gate is flanked by wooden fences, making it look more like a farmhouse than a village.

However, one of the doors was ajar at this moment, and the other was tilted to the side.

"problem occurs."
