"My aunt was at my house. She's the one who caused my grandfather's death. She came to my house at noon looking for him. We thought she was just visiting him, so we didn't pay much attention."

Who knew that as soon as she saw Grandpa, she said that Xiaomin had been abducted by human traffickers, and that Uncle, you wouldn't let her look for Xiaomin and were even going to divorce her.

His grandfather heard this and died on the spot, unable to catch his breath. He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Chen Yanhuan, why did you do this? Dad, it's all my fault that you've been ruined."

Upon hearing the news, Mr. Huang was struck dumb and burst into tears. He shouldn't have brought up divorce; he had ruined his father's life.

The Huang brothers were also devastated. They knew their grandfather was in poor health, yet their mother still dared to go to their door and talk about these things.

"Uncle, Grandpa died with his eyes open in disgrace."

Every time Huang Shaoxing spoke, his father felt heartbroken and filled with regret. In the end, he was helped into the car by Huang Shaosong and his brother. Lin Xingyao went home and told her mother that she would go back with them.

The Huang family lived in a small town, not far from the county seat. It only took them a little over an hour by taxi.

As Huang's father got out of the car, he cried and called out "Dad" all the way. Huang Shaosong and his brother cried and supported their father.

"Dad, your son is here. Why didn't you wait for me? I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and come to see you."

Almost all of Huang's close relatives came, and Grandpa Huang changed into his funeral clothes. Huang's father touched his father's cold hands and cried so hard he almost fainted.

Huang Shaosong and his younger brother held him tightly, their eyes filled with grief and anger. Lin Xingyao stood to the side, her eyes also red-rimmed.

"Dad, take care of yourself. You've just been discharged from the hospital."

Huang Shaosong looked at his uncle, hoping he could persuade his father.

"Brother, you need to take care of yourself. Dad doesn't want to see you like this. I already explained to Dad that you haven't been able to see Xiaomin because you're not feeling well, and I also said..."

Mr. Huang stood up angrily, grabbed his younger brother's hand, and said, "Wenlin, where is Chen Yanhuan? Where is she?"

"Big brother, she ran away in the chaos."

Huang's father wished he could kill Chen Yanhuan; if she were here, it really might happen. Huang Wenlin knew his older brother's temperament and was afraid he would do something foolish in a moment of impulsiveness, so when he saw Chen Yanhuan sneaking away, he only had someone follow her and didn't stop her from leaving.

"Dad, it's all my fault. I've ruined you."

Mr. Huang knelt down again, and two loud slaps rang out as he slapped himself.

"Big Brother"

"dad"

"Dad, please don't do this." Huang Shaosong grabbed his father's hand to prevent him from hitting him.

"Shaosong, find Chen Yanhuan immediately."

"dad"

"What? You're not listening to me?"

Mr. Huang glared fiercely at his eldest son, and Chen Yanhuan was forced to kowtow and apologize to his father.

"Brother, Shaosong is the eldest grandson. How can he leave at a time like this? I'll have someone else go find her."

Mr. Huang neither agreed nor objected, which was taken as tacit agreement. Huang Wenlin went outside and called for someone to find Chen Yanhuan. He specifically instructed that she be brought over again tomorrow, so that his older brother could have a night to calm down.

In the early morning, just as dawn broke, Huang Shaosong brought over a bowl of porridge. Huang's father had stayed up all night watching over his father, refusing to rest no matter who tried to persuade him. He hadn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday, not even a drop of water.

"Dad, please eat something, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

"Where is Chen Yanhuan? Have you found her?"

Huang's father said in a hoarse voice that he had asked this question dozens of times since last night. Whenever someone advised him to rest or eat, he would ask Chen Yanhuan.

"Brother, we've found him. He's on his way."

Huang Wenlin thought that his elder brother seemed much calmer after a night, so he had someone bring Chen Yanhuan over.

"Dad, have something to eat." Huang Shaosong handed his father the porridge, but he refused it outright.

I'm not hungry.

"Dad, please take care of yourself and think about An'an more often. An'an is still waiting for you to accompany him as he grows up," Lin Xingyao said as she walked in from outside the door.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Huang said, "Bring it here."

"Dad, here, be careful it's hot."

Mr. Huang took the porridge from his son and finished it in a few bites. After that, no matter how others tried to persuade him, he refused to eat any more.

"Shaosong, Xingyao, you two go out for a bit. I need to talk to your father for a few minutes."

"Okay," Huang Shaosong said, taking the bowl and going out with Lin Xingyao.

"Big brother, you mustn't do anything foolish when you see Chen Yanhuan later. You've barely escaped with your life."

While Huang's father was being treated at the hospital, Huang Shaogang made several phone calls back, saying that the hospital had issued a critical condition notice. Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to go to the hospital to see his older brother, for fear of being discovered by his father.

Fortunately, Shaogang called the next day to say that his father was fine and could be discharged from the hospital soon. He was happy for only a short time before Chen Yanhuan came to the house and said a lot of things, which he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.

"You don't want other people to have a grandfather who dotes on them, but An'an doesn't. Shaogang isn't married or has children yet, so you have to help him choose the right wife. A bad wife can ruin three generations."

"I've already married a troublemaker myself, how can I help Shaogang vet her?" Huang Wenlin was speechless; how could he possibly respond to that?

"Don't worry! I won't do anything foolish. At most, I'll divorce Chen Yanhuan. Tell me! Where is she hiding?"

"At her older brother's house"

Upon learning of Chen Yanhuan's whereabouts, Huang's father fell silent, and the two brothers knelt beside him to burn paper money for their grandfather.

"Uncle, Dad, the person has arrived," Huang Shaoxing said as he walked in.

"Bring her in," Mr. Huang said calmly.

"Dad," Huang Wenlin nodded, and Huang Shaoxing then walked out.

Let me go.

Two young men dragged Chen Yanhuan in and forced her to kneel. Chen Yanhuan closed her eyes, trembling all over. She dared not look at her father-in-law. She felt guilty; the moment she entered, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, please let me go."

Chen Yanhuan closed her eyes and kowtowed, begging for mercy. She never expected things to turn out this way. Her husband had clearly told her that his father was fine and that nothing was wrong.

How could her father-in-law be dying after only a few words? If she had known this would happen, she definitely wouldn't have come looking for him. If she had hidden herself away from her husband and son, she wouldn't have had to get a divorce.

"Chen Yanhuan, what are you feeling guilty about? Come here and take a good look."

Huang's father grabbed her by the collar and dragged her in front of his father.

"Ah...no, I didn't mean to."

"Open your eyes and take a good look. You bitch, you not only harmed me, but you also came to my house to harm my dad."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Slap! Slap! Slap! Mr. Huang slapped her several times, still not satisfied. He really wanted to kill her, but he knew he couldn't do that; he couldn't let his son and grandson be ashamed in the future.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I won't cause trouble anymore, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Despite the burning pain on her face, she dared not cry out and could only keep begging for mercy.

"Big brother, forget it, Dad definitely doesn't want to see her."

"You're right, Shaoxing, go and call Shaosong and Shaogang in."

Huang Shaosong and Huang Shaogang knew Chen Yanhuan had arrived; they had been hiding and didn't want to come in. A moment later, Huang Shaoxing led them in.

"Shaosong and Shaogang, tell them to release me right now. I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't cause trouble again." The two brothers didn't look at her, but looked at their father.

"Go home and get your household registration book and marriage certificate. I'll take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I want to divorce her right now."

No, that won't do.

Chen Yanhuan screamed in refusal. Her two older brothers knew that she had angered her father-in-law to death, and under the instigation of her two sisters-in-law, they had already severed ties with her.

The two brothers agreed.

"No, you can't go."

"Shaoxing, find a car to come over, and find two more people to help put her in the car."

"Yes"
