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

By the time Zeng Min finished cooking, Tu Mingcheng was still working. Zeng Min watched as Tu Mingcheng was still sweating profusely as he cut down corn stalks in the fields. After thinking for a moment, she had no choice but to go and fetch An Lin first.

As soon as Zeng Min led the child home, An Lin saw that it was Uncle Tu and immediately ran over like a happy little deer, hugging his leg tightly and shouting, "Uncle Tu, you haven't come to my house for so long, I've missed you so much!"

Tu Mingcheng gazed at the little one who was hugging him, bent down and gently picked him up: "If you really miss your uncle, then your uncle will come every day from now on, okay?"

"Really? Then let's pinky swear."

Looking at the child who bore a striking resemblance to Zeng Min, Tu Mingcheng felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

In fact, he has never had much affection for children. To be precise, he is uninterested in many things and emotionally indifferent, which makes him seem distant and unapproachable.

He had never really looked closely at his two sons. If the Tu brothers were among the children in the village, he probably wouldn't be able to tell which one was his son, let alone pick them up.

As for An Lin... it was only because he saw that Zeng Min valued this child so much that he extended his affection to him as well.

In this era, the relationship between parents and children is like a bridge eroded by time, seemingly on the verge of breaking at any moment.

Parents are busy making a living every day and rarely have time to accompany their children as they grow up, let alone pay attention to the deepest desires in their children's hearts.

The children also began to shoulder the burden of household chores at a young age, helping with farming, feeding chickens and ducks, etc. The hardships of life made them shed their naivety early and learn to be independent and strong.

These rural children have gradually adapted to this lifestyle.

Despite their deep longing for their parents' love and care, harsh reality forces them to learn self-reliance and independence.

Knowing their parents' hardships, they try their best not to cause trouble for their families and silently shoulder their share of responsibility.

This phenomenon, though evokes endless frustration, is a true reflection of that specific historical period.

As society continues to develop, people's lives are getting better and better, and they are generous with all kinds of emotions, perhaps because the children who lacked love in the past have all grown up.

Zeng Min had just finished setting out the food in the main room when she saw Tu Mingcheng carrying An Lin into the room.

"Mingcheng, come and eat!"

Seeing that An Lin was still in Tu Mingcheng's arms, he said, "An Lin, come down quickly, it's time to eat. It's inconvenient for Uncle to eat while holding you."

Actually, Tu Mingcheng is older than Luo Qicai, so An Lin should call Tu Mingcheng "uncle," but he called him "uncle" from the beginning, and now it's not appropriate to change his address.

Tu Mingcheng looked at the dishes on the table, then at the busy little woman, and the warm scene resembled that of a happy family of three. The thought of living like this every day in the future brought a fleeting, almost imperceptible tenderness to his eyes.

"Mmm, your cooking smells delicious." Tu Mingcheng put An Lin on a chair.

Seeing his expression, Zeng Min couldn't help but laugh. Her lips curled up so high that she couldn't suppress it. She laughed and said, "Hahaha, only you say my cooking is delicious. My mother says my cooking only has two flavors: spicy or salty. It just doesn't have any aroma. She says my cooking has no soul."

Tu Mingcheng: "I could taste the aroma and sweetness." As he spoke, his eyes were full of doting affection and tenderness. Zeng Min couldn't stand his intense gaze and quickly turned her face away.

These words softened Zeng Min's heart, and she said coquettishly:

"You're so good at sweet-talking people, hurry up and sit down and eat." There was a hint of embarrassment and annoyance in her tone.

After the three of them sat down, they began to eat heartily. During the meal, Zeng Min would occasionally put food on An Lin's plate.

After the meal, Tu Mingcheng offered to help clear the dishes, while Zeng Min played with An Lin in the yard.

Zeng Min is the kind of person who will slack off whenever someone helps her with chores. She doesn't stand on ceremony or modesty.

After tidying up the kitchen and main room, Tu Mingcheng went to the yard to chat with Zeng Min.

"When can I come and propose to you?" He couldn't wait any longer, wanting to be intimate with her openly and honestly.

Zeng Min looked up at him: "Why are you in such a hurry? You just got divorced and you're already getting involved with me. Aren't you afraid of what the women in the village will say? I am! I'm not going to take the blame for your divorce."

Although there may be a connection, how can I admit it? I absolutely refuse to admit it…

"My divorce has nothing to do with you. I only divorced her because Wu Xinxin was entangled with other men." Although she was partly to blame, how could she let Xiaomin have a stain on her reputation?

It's also true that Wu Xinxin is restless. There are even rumors about her in the village.

"I know." Zeng Min certainly knew why he got divorced, but she still had to pretend.

Tu Mingcheng took Zeng Min's hand and looked at her very seriously. "I really want to marry you. I will treat you and An Lin well. You can believe me."

Zeng Min actually wanted to marry him as soon as possible and didn't want to do any work. She wanted to be lazy, but she still held back and said, "Let's talk about it later, I'll think about it some more."

Tu Mingcheng wasn't in a hurry; it would be his sooner or later anyway. "Okay, then take your time to think it over. I'll wait for you."

Zeng Min smiled and said, "Mm."

The two chatted for a while longer, and then it gradually got dark.

Tu Mingcheng said, "It's getting dark. I haven't told my family about the divorce yet, so I went home first. Wu Xinxin is coming back tomorrow to collect her things and take the child away."

Zeng Min: "Both of your sons live with her? Don't you want your children?"

“I’ve never spent time with my two children; they prefer to stay with their mother. I’ll just pay child support.”

Zeng Min: "Won't it be even more difficult for her to get married in the future? What man would raise someone else's son for free?"

Tu Mingcheng said, "I don't know, that's not my business."

"I'm leaving. Lock the gate in the yard."

"Okay, go ahead."

Tu Mingcheng then went back.

……

the next day.

Wu Xinxin arrived at Tu's house early in the morning.

She plans to bring all her household items and clothes from the Tu family home to the city, where she already has a job and a house.

As soon as she arrived at the Tu family's door, the neighbor saw her from next door.

"Hey, isn't this the wife from the small town? Where have you been? Long time no see! I heard you found a new official in the city. You don't even want such a good catch in this small town?" the neighbor said sarcastically.

Her house is right next to the Tu family's. Last night, when the Tu family's youngest son came back and told the Tu couple that he and Wu Xinxin were getting a divorce, she had just finished using the toilet and was pulling up her pants when she heard it from next door.

The two families live close to each other and, although they are neighbors, they often help each other out. However, they also secretly compare themselves to each other, wanting to have what the other family has and feeling uncomfortable if they don't.

But his youngest son is successful, and his sons and daughters-in-law often fight over him, each one competitive and unwilling to suffer any loss.

So she couldn't stand seeing her neighbor doing better than her, and last night when she heard that Tu Mingcheng was getting a divorce, she was secretly pleased.

She felt that although her family was not peaceful, her sons and daughters-in-law all listened to her and dared not act recklessly in front of her.

Wang Guiying can't control her daughter-in-law, who even dares to talk back to her. Now that they're divorced, won't she be inferior to her in the future?

Upon hearing this, Wu Xinxin's face instantly darkened.

"Auntie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Mingcheng and I divorced amicably, and I haven't dated anyone else."

The older woman sneered, "Who would believe that? We don't understand the affairs of you young people. But let me warn you, don't think that you can find someone better after a divorce. Good men like Xiaocheng are rare these days."

Wu Xinxin didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she turned around and walked into the courtyard.
