Chapter 146 Persuasion
When Aunt Fang's emotions had stabilized a little, Jiang An Ning hesitated and asked tentatively: "How did Aunt suddenly know that Uncle Genshan was raising a child outside..."

She was a little hesitant to say it, so she paused for a moment and then said, "Could there be some misunderstanding? Did Auntie see something? Or hear something?"

Aunt Fang was startled when she heard this and murmured, "I didn't see anything."

Jiang Anning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that there is still room for improvement.

"I heard Jiang Guicheng whispering to Sui Ran that he saw his uncle Genshan getting very close to a man and gave all the money he earned from working to that man."

As Aunt Fang spoke, she couldn't help crying again: "I was wondering why he was away from home late at night and was looking for work outside."

"They also say that it's hard to find a job nowadays. You have to wait all day long to find a job. If you leave, you're afraid that there will be no job. In the end, you just sit there like an idiot, working in the sun all day, and you don't even want to eat a hot meal."

"I saw that he had been looking for a job for many days but couldn't find one. He was always downcast every time he came home, so I made some delicious food to comfort him..."

Aunt Fang became sadder and sadder as she spoke, and she couldn't help sobbing again.

"How could he do this!"

Aunt Fang wiped away her tears and said, "Every time he came back, he said he didn't find any work today and didn't make any money. He looked very guilty towards me, but I never blamed him. I comforted him and told him not to put too much pressure on himself. Our family is not so poor that they can't afford to eat. His health is more important."

"But I never expected that he actually didn't really have no work, but gave all his wages to others. He was afraid that I would find out and ask about the whereabouts of the money, so he acted with me and deceived me every day after returning home!"

When Aunt Fang talked about the sad things, her eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry.

He kept muttering to himself, "How could he do this? How could he do this?"

"How could they do this to me!"

After crying and scolding, Aunt Fang's temper also flared up: "I can't live with him like this anymore."

"Once a man cheats on you once, there will be days before he cheats on you again!"

"I am already an elderly person, and I have three children. Now my children are old enough to get married and have children. I don't care about those things anymore."

"But he is different. Since he can choose to steal once and get the sweet taste, he will definitely think about stealing a second and third time. Who knows, one day he might even bring the bastard home!"

"Maybe he'll bring that woman back with him, too. She'll be an eyesore to me and hurt my heart. She'll just want to piss me off to death so that she can make room for other people!"

The more Aunt Fang talked, the more her thoughts wandered. She didn't know how many times she had played out in her mind the scene in which the concubine came to the house pregnant, killed the original wife, abused her children, and squandered her property and dowry.

She cried even more heartbrokenly.

But his mind became more determined: "I want a divorce! I will never live with him again no matter what!"

After saying this, he started crying again, lamenting his misfortune.

Jiang Anning felt that this matter did not necessarily mean that Jiang Genshan was wrongly accused, but many things were just Aunt Fang's own imagination after hearing a few words.

There might be some hidden secret.

If we make a decision hastily without even giving them a chance to confront each other, it wouldn't necessarily be fair.

So she agreed with what the other person said, "If my uncle Genshan really did something to let you down, I would absolutely support you getting a divorce with both hands and feet!"

"There's no reason to endure the pain and injustice when encountering something like this!"

"But even before a murderer is sentenced to death, he must be given a chance to plead his case. Why don't you give Uncle Genshan a chance and listen to what he has to say?"

"Perhaps there is some misunderstanding?"

Jiang Anning had sufficient reasons to say, "We can't let a bad guy go, but we can't wrongly accuse a good guy, right?"

Aunt Fang hesitated for a moment.

Naturally, she hoped more than anyone else that this was just a misunderstanding and that Jiang Genshan had not done anything to offend her.

How could a couple who have been together for so many years have no feelings for each other?

Can…

"Gui Cheng said so. He saw with his own eyes that your uncle Genshan gave the money to another man. He also asked Sui Ran worriedly whether he wanted to tell me about it."

Aunt Fang's attitude naturally wavered, but she had not yet realized it.

She hesitated and wavered: "If Jiang Genshan hadn't really done something to offend me, why would they both consider whether to hide it from me? Why would they be so hesitant and afraid to tell me?"

"What's more, Guicheng said that every time he went to a different construction site to sell food, he would run into Jiang Genshan. He even suspected that his memory was confused several times."

"Jiang Genshan has obviously found a job!"

"But every time, he would come home and tell me that it was hard to find a job outside, he didn't find a job, didn't make any money, and he felt sorry for me..."

When Aunt Fang was angry, she snorted coldly, "I think, he really feels sorry for me, but it's not because he can't find a job or make money, but because he did something shameless outside and felt guilty, so he feels sorry for me!"

"Maybe Uncle Genshan has some unavoidable difficulties?"

Jiang Anning didn't want to speak for Jiang Genshan, but after all, it was not easy for outsiders to interfere in matters between husband and wife.

Otherwise, if these two people get back together in the future and talk about the past, the only one who is not accepted by everyone is the "talkative" outsider.

She first confirmed Aunt Fang's thoughts: "It's normal for Aunt Fang to have some doubts when she hears these words all of a sudden. If Uncle Genshan really did something to offend Aunt Fang, then I will definitely stand on your side. Whether you want to divorce Uncle Genshan or just keep living your life as it is, I will support you unconditionally."

"But even if he is a murderer, he still has a chance to plead his case before being sentenced to death. Isn't it also true that in operas, villains are given a chance to sing and recite lines?"

"My uncle Genshan hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what happened. I haven't even had time to explain myself, but you, aunt, have sentenced me to death. Isn't that fair and unjust?"

"But it has already happened. If it is true, it cannot be false. If it is false, it cannot be true. Why don't you wait for me and Uncle San to come back, listen to what he says, and then make a decision?"

"If this is true...even if you kick him out, he will definitely not say anything!"

Jiang Anning's gentle persuasion actually calmed Aunt Fang down a lot.

She couldn't help but nodded, feeling that what Jiang Anning said made a lot of sense.

"You are right..."

After all, it's a relationship that has lasted for decades. How can it be so easy to give it up?
Deep down in her heart, Aunt Fang was still unwilling to accept and believe that Jiang Genshan had done something wrong to her.

What I just said was mostly just angry words.

It was after I suddenly heard those things that I was blinded by anger and lost my calmness.

After calming down a bit, I thought about it quietly and suddenly felt that Jiang Genshan might have encountered some difficulties, or something might have happened...

Aunt Fang couldn't help but make excuses for Jiang Genshan's behavior in her heart.

Gradually, I convinced myself.

"Yes! You are right! An Ning, you are right!"

Aunt Fang wiped her eyes and said, "I have lived with your uncle for so many years. Don't I know what kind of person he is?"

"He definitely can't be that kind of person. He wouldn't do such a thing as raising a kid outside without my knowledge!" "There might be some misunderstanding here."

"I believe your uncle!"

"When he comes back, I'll ask him in person. He won't hide anything from me!"

"Maybe he encountered some trouble outside and didn't tell me because he was afraid that I would worry. I was still like this at home, misunderstanding him, getting angry with him, and scolding him. It was really wrong."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't just blindly agree with what others said.

Otherwise, you will be in trouble both inside and outside!

"I support all your decisions, Auntie!"

Jiang An Ning said a few polite words, then stood up and helped the man: "After talking for so long, I'm afraid I'm tired. Why don't you go wash your face and take a rest first? We can make a decision after my uncle Genshan comes back."

Aunt Fang nodded and said "ok" softly.

She stood up with the help of someone, her legs a little weak. She no longer wanted to think about the worst of things, and she couldn't think about it.

As soon as I thought about it, tears immediately started to flow uncontrollably.

What if Jiang Genshan really felt sorry for her?

Aunt Fang was dazed for a moment, rubbed her eyes vigorously several times, pretended to be strong and went to the bathroom. While washing her face, she secretly cried again.

When he came out, he looked like nothing had happened and tried hard to smile.

Jiang Anning looked at Aunt Fang, who seemed to be a different person from just now, and felt surprised but also admired her.

The two sat and chatted about irrelevant things for a while.

Not only did Aunt Fang's face no longer show the sadness and depression, resentment and collapse she had just shown, she was even able to tell a few jokes to amuse Jiang An Ning.

Jiang Anning admired Aunt Fang more and more.

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"At this time, I don't know who will come."

When Jiang Anning heard the knock on the door, she was very surprised. She really couldn't imagine who would come to see her.

"You'll know if you go and take a look."

Aunt Fang happily asked her to go and open the door.

Jiang Anning nodded, got up to open the door, and found that the people standing outside, knocking on the door anxiously were Sui Ran and his wife.

"Sister-in-law Guicheng..."

She had just called out for someone when Sui Ran interrupted her anxiously, "An Ning, it's good that you're home. Have you seen Aunt Fang? I just went to her house but didn't find her. I also checked several places in the village, but I couldn't imagine where she would go."

Sui Ran was extremely worried, fearing that Aunt Fang would suddenly become angry after hearing about Jiang Genshan's situation and might do something stupid.

Jiang Anning uttered a soft "ah": "Aunt Fang is here with me, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing that someone was here with her, Sui Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, Aunt Fang is here with you. I was really afraid of her just now..."

I couldn't think straight for a moment and did something stupid.

She didn't say it out loud, but her worries didn't seem to subside much.

After all, Aunt Fang and Jiang Genshan have had a very good relationship for so many years. They have been together for twenty years, and they are still as inseparable as newlyweds. Whenever they have time, the two will definitely be together, and their love is enviable.

There was almost no one in the village who didn't know that they had a good relationship.

Jiang Genshan, in particular, is often jokingly called a henpecked man.

But even so, he never got angry. Instead, he treated Aunt Fang even better and would refute those who said sarcastic things: "I'm not afraid of my wife, I love her. I'm afraid that I haven't done well enough and have slighted her, making her feel wronged."

When everyone heard such words, although they couldn't help but say a few sour words, they couldn't deny that many people in the village envied Aunt Fang for being able to marry such a good man.

Even Aunt Fang herself, whenever she mentioned Jiang Genshan, would smile happily and say: That dead guy of mine was so and so.

Sui Ran put herself in his shoes and thought, if Jiang Guicheng did something unfair to her, she would probably feel like the sky had fallen and she wouldn't be able to live.

"Aunt Fang, are you okay now?"

Sui Ran asked tentatively, his face turning pale with nervousness, fearing that he would hear some bad news.

"Okay, we were just chatting..."

Jiang An Ning didn't want to talk too much about other people's gossip, so she said, "Sister-in-law Gui Cheng and Brother Gui Cheng, please come in and sit down. We just mentioned you, and since you're back, we'd like to invite you to go to the restaurant in town to eat roasted lamb together!"

How could Sui Ran be in the mood to eat anything now?
But facing someone's cordial invitation, I couldn't show my displeasure, so I smiled and said ingratiatingly: "That's a deal, if we kill you later, you can't cry!"

"How can it be!"

Jiang Anning said this as she stepped aside and invited the two men into the house.

As soon as Aunt Fang saw Sui Ran and Jiang Guicheng, her face inevitably tensed.

After Jiang Anning's persuasion, she has calmed down a lot.

But no matter how calm I am, I still can't erase the dull pain in my heart when I heard those words just now.

“I’m coming.”

She forced a smile and greeted people.

Sui Ran felt very guilty: "Aunt Fang..."

"Please sit down. Why are you standing?" Aunt Fang calmed herself down, tried to smile more warmly, and asked the person to sit down.

Jiang Guicheng was standing aside, eager to explain: "Aunt Fang, things are not what you think..."

"What was I thinking?"

As soon as Aunt Fang finished speaking, another voice came from outside.

"You're back, Genshan!"

"Ah, you're back! Have you eaten, Uncle San?"

"I'm just about to go home and eat."

"..."

It was the sound of Jiang Genshan, who had just escaped from Zhou Ran and returned, meeting the villagers and greeting each other.

The people in the room suddenly became quiet. They all felt like they wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
