The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1528 - 1614: You Really Are Angry

Dong Huiying sighed, "I guess it’s my fault too. After all, one thing after another kept me out of the house so often that I ended up neglecting this matter."

"Third Master, your family business is vast, and you’ve turned yourself into a workaholic. Rest assured, as your wife, I can understand it and won’t hold it against you. After all, what’s the role of the wife? No matter how important the wife is, she can’t be more important than your business. Third Master, isn’t that right?"

Shujun choked a bit, his eyes slightly reddening, as if wounded by his wife’s remarks, which seemed like a mix of irony and ridicule.

He pressed his thin red lips together, his shoulders slumped, and he tentatively asked in a soft voice, "Are you really angry?"

It was as if he was desperately trying to suppress the emotions in his eyes, even causing a hazy mist to gather in them.

Dong Huiying felt a bit guilty, wondering if she had gone too far? Yet, she steeled her heart.

"No, I’m not," she said, avoiding looking at Shujun’s face.

She feared that facing Shujun’s face would cause her to lose control of her expression.

How should I put it?

In their large family, it seemed none were content with mediocrity, and compared to her husbands, she felt she was the most inadequate wife!

Looking back, if it weren’t for these men disappearing and leaving home on a whim, she might not have bothered to run around due to her nature.

To some extent, she was actually quite homely and could be considered a very home-oriented person. Born without much wanderlust, she could find joy living secluded in the mountains for years, simply keeping busy with making poisons and potions to make her life feel fulfilling.

And these men... See, which of them here is content with mediocrity?

Back then, it was environmental issues, their backgrounds, and external dangers that limited their development. But even so, the Eldest Brother, Zhi Chen, managed to carve out a foundation outside and provoke the major antagonist, the Seventh Princess. Even after returning home, he briefly joined Su Lang’s gang to become an outlaw. As for Shujun, he was the same. Before getting involved with the Sky Blue Building, he was in business, naturally restless, and when he got the chance to develop, he simply amplified his ambitions.

As for the others...

Even with a poor family, Lao Si, Haoming, managed to enter the black market, fighting in underground arenas before joining the Assassin Alliance as an assassin. Little Wu, Yue Ning, initially hunted in the mountains, but perhaps feeling he lagged behind his more accomplished brothers, he later built houses and took on construction, thereby earning the moniker Ghost Artisan Ah Wu. As for Little Liu, Yixuan...

In short, each of these brothers was remarkable, each with their own career and life focus. Meanwhile, compared to these capable men, Dong Huiying, their wife, seemed rather mediocre.

However, marriage is a lifelong affair.

Love is the primary cause of marriage, but should this love ever fade away, what would then sustain the marriage?

Everyday life becomes a formulaic routine, each man busily attending to their affairs, and amid the mundane years, hearts once closely knit gradually drift apart...

That prospect was something Dong Huiying dared not imagine. Merely thinking about it would leave her alarmed and fearful.

She dreaded the day when they would lie in the same bed but dream different dreams!

So, when something needs addressing, it must be addressed!

This issue must not be kept inside, lest they remain unaware of it. If she noticed and still chose not to speak about it for various reasons, the outcome awaiting them might not be bright.
