After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Upon hearing this, Wang Guiying was startled, and her sleepiness vanished instantly.

She stared wide-eyed at Old Man Tu and asked, "Tu Gouzi, what do you mean by this? Why do you want me to watch over them? Could it be..." Her voice trembled, and she even called out Old Man Tu's long-unused nickname.

Old Man Tu sighed and said, "Alas, I don't want this to happen either, but if this gets out and we get criticized, where will our family's face be? So I can only ask you to keep an eye on things."

Wang Guiying remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"If they really can't make it work, they might as well get a divorce! There are plenty of divorces and second marriages in the village, it doesn't matter if our Mingcheng comes along."

"His two grandsons have been raised by their mother to be distant from their own son. Who knows if the younger son will be able to rely on those two ungrateful wretches when he gets old?" Wang Guiying had obviously also considered divorcing Tu Mingcheng and his wife.

Previously, her son had no intention of getting a divorce, so she wanted to teach her two grandsons a lesson. Unfortunately, whenever she tried to teach them, Wu Xinxin would protect them and argue back.

Otherwise, why would there be constant arguments at home? It's all because of the two grandsons. Although she does favor her younger daughter, would Wang Guiying admit it?

"Alright, enough nonsense," Old Man Tu interrupted. "Go find Mingcheng tomorrow and tell him to handle this matter quickly. Also, stop favoring your little daughter. They're both your children, so you should show more concern for Mingcheng."

Although Wang Guiying was dissatisfied, she knew the seriousness of the matter. She nodded and agreed, "Alright, I'll go find Mingcheng tomorrow."

Tu Mingcheng lay alone on the bed, his feelings complicated. In fact, Tu Mingcheng knew why he was finding it hard to suppress his feelings now. He used to think that just being able to see her from afar would be enough.

Knowing that she had been hurt by Luo Qicai, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Tu Mingcheng never dared to hope that one day he could touch the bright moon hanging high in his heart, but when his thoughts drifted to Zeng Min, he couldn't help but want to possess her, and the desire in his heart seemed to want to break free of the cage.

Tu Mingcheng couldn't bear to see Zeng Min suffer. He wanted to have her, protect her, possess her, and participate in the rest of her life.

He knew that his thoughts were against common sense, but the emotion was so intense and uncontrollable that he was powerless to resist it. It was like a whirlpool, drawing him deeper and deeper into the abyss, from which he could not extricate himself.

Zeng Min's every smile, every word, and every action was like a carving knife, deeply imprinted in Tu Mingcheng's heart.

It gradually evolved into a possessiveness, a strong desire to own her.

Despite constantly reminding himself that such thoughts were neither moral nor appropriate, the inner impulse always lingered and could not be shaken off.

Every time he saw Zeng Min, that desire would surge within him, growing ever stronger.

He was never one to compromise himself, except in the military; in other aspects, he was content with what he had, even his marriage and children.

But now things are different. He knows with absolute certainty that he longs to have her—a thought as intense and unwavering as a raging fire.

Tu Mingcheng tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

the next day.

After thinking for a long time, Tu Mingcheng decided to go directly to Wu Xinxin, who was preparing to go to the city, to talk to her about the divorce.

"Shall we talk?"

Wu Xinxin asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

Tu Mingcheng: Divorce

"What do you mean? Why do you want a divorce?"

"If you don't want to continue the relationship, then get a divorce. What's the point? Your current behavior is dangerous. I'm afraid you'll drag me down with you."

Tu Mingcheng spoke directly, making it clear that he knew all of Wu Xinxin's current actions.

Wu Xinxin sneered, "I knew you were cold-blooded! We were husband and wife, and you actually threatened me? Do you think I wanted to stay with you? If it weren't for the children, I would have divorced you long ago!"

Tu Mingcheng frowned. "In that case, let's leave as soon as possible. It'll be better for everyone."

Wu Xinxin gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, let's get a divorce! But the child must stay with me!"

"Sure." He doesn't like children anyway.

Wu Xinxin couldn't believe it. Didn't Tu Mingcheng love children? How could he abandon his child? In the book, Tu Mingcheng doted on his child.

"How could you be so heartless as to abandon your child?"

"Since you want a child, you can have one."

Wu Xinxin remained silent. She did not want a divorce; she had only agreed out of spite because they had two sons, and she was certain that Tu Mingcheng would not easily agree to a divorce.

Who knew he would actually give up custody of the child?

Wu Xinxin said, "I'm not getting a divorce. We've lived peacefully together for many years, why would I want one?"

Now I want a divorce, but I haven't found someone else yet.

Wu Xinxin appeared very resistant and refused to get a divorce.

The two argued and parted on bad terms.

Tu Mingcheng returned to the main room in a daze. Wang Guiying, seeing this, quickly asked what had happened.

Tu Mingcheng told his mother about his conversation with Wu Xinxin, and Wang Guiying was shocked when she heard it.

"What? You want a divorce? How can this be!" Wang Guiying exclaimed, though she had said she hoped they would divorce, she was now anxious about it.

Wang Guiying said, "Oh dear, what should we do..."

Ignoring Wang Guiying's outburst, Tu Mingcheng went back to his room, grabbed his bag, and left. Wang Guiying saw him and asked, "Are you going back to work in the city?"

Tu Mingcheng nodded and walked away without looking back.

Wang Guiying muttered, 'You've been gone for months, never home. No wonder your two children aren't close to you.'

Clearly, she had a lot of complaints about Tu Mingcheng's lack of time at home, but thinking about how her son hadn't come home for several years since getting married, and how he only came back once every few months after retiring from the military and moving to a place not far from home, she felt sorry for her son.

Tu Mingcheng left the village, but instead of going directly out, he took a small path up the mountain along the back ditch of his house.

It took more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain behind the village.

At the top of the mountain, there is a rocky cliff. Below the cliff, there is a hidden path leading to a cave. The cave, which is about four or five square meters in size, has been kept very clean.

There is also a bamboo woven single bed inside, and next to the wall is a large bamboo woven basket containing some pots, pans, bowls and chopsticks.

Looking at the ground, which was worn smooth and firm from being walked on, it was clear that Tu Mingcheng was a frequent visitor.

This is Tu Mingcheng's secret base, which he discovered by chance when he was a child. He would occasionally come here for special meals when he was young, but he didn't come here much after he joined the army.

Until he was wounded and discharged from the army in 1964, he would often rest here when he needed to process the game he had hunted.

He often came here and ended up living here. This was Tu Mingcheng's private space, where he could find a moment of peace when he was feeling restless.

The transport team didn't want to go home during their holidays, so they would climb over the mountain behind the mountain and return here to live alone. They would stay here for ten days to half a month at a time. So when Wang Guiying said that her son hadn't been home for several months, she meant he had been back here.

Tu Mingcheng used to drive long distances frequently in the past few years, and when it was someone else's turn to drive, he would switch with them.

After returning from this long-distance trip, Tu Mingcheng wanted to rest, so he asked the team leader to switch him to a shift that ran within the city. The team leader did not ask any questions and switched him, thinking that he was tired from running long-distance trips for the past few years. He even gave him a month-long vacation so that he could go back to work after he had rested enough.
