With that, Jane looked at the old lady who took care of her throughout the night, and called out to her in a gentle voice. “Ma’am, thank you. Initially, I planned to stay here for some time, to take care of the both of us and repay your kindness. But now, someone is after me, so I have to go. I will repay your great kindness in the future.”The old lady cried until her vision was blurred. “Dear child, why do you have such a hard life? You're just like my son, both of you live such tough lives.”Jane smiled sadly. She looked at the old lady with a slightly confused expression, then looked at Noah in front of her. However, the simple man smiled gently and said, “Why not I’ll carry my old mother on my back, and we can leave this place together? Shall we head north?” Jane looked at him. “…Noah, what…what do you mean?”Honest Noah said, “I can tell from your accent you’re not a local. South City is in the south, we speak with a Southern accent, but your accent is a typical northern acc

Later on, he heard that he could make a lot of money working in the South, so Noah considered going to the metropolitan city of South City to work. But what about his mother? Later, Noah devised a plan. An honest neighbor of his would take care of his mother. Once he found a job, he would send money home, paying a portion of it to his neighbor as their fees for taking care of his mother. Noah was a hard-working, steady, and intelligent man. Not long after he arrived in the big city in South City, he successfully landed himself a job. However, it was a job in a clothing factory. And it was a position as a seamstress. Not many men held this position, it was mainly a woman’s job, men found it embarrassing. But Noah did not have time to think about all this, he wanted to earn money in the shortest time possible, so he could send money home to support his mother. Within a year, Noah had earned more than ten thousand dollars from his job in the clothing factory. He only saved two thous

Noah was stunned. Him! A young man from a small farming village like him, without any talent whatsoever. A young man like him who had been working in a clothing factory for four years, somewhere most men were not willing to work at. He could not believe that his boss had chosen him. But Noah was not excited. He was born a kind and calm man. “Boss, what skills do I possess, for you to choose me as your son-in-law?” His boss was a straightforward man too. “I read your writing, your handwriting is beautiful. I also read the work manual that you logged. Once, when your team leader took leave and went home, you acted as the team leader. You kept track of everyone’s working hours and managed the team well, you’re talented.” Noah was silent.“If I’m not mistaken, you’re a high school graduate, right?” His boss continued asking.Noah nodded. “Yes, boss.” “Your family was too poor, they couldn’t afford to support you. That’s why you quit school?” His boss was a smart man indeed, he c

This time, his mother was waiting for him there and picked up the moment he called. Hearing Noah’s news, his mother was delighted too. She said in a very open-minded fashion, “What do you mean maintaining the family bloodlines? Any child that is born to you is yours. Even if the child does not take the Hill family name, in the future he would still have to address me as his grandmother, am I right?” Noah laughed. “Mother, I am glad that you’re so open-minded. Once we get married, I’ll bring you here to live with us. Then you’ll be a true city woman.”On the other end, his mother laughed so hard she could hardly close her mouth. “Good, good. Finally, my days of suffering are over. I can start to enjoy life now.”Just like that, a week after the discussion between mother and son, Noah gave his boss his answer. He agreed to the marriage. He did not feel as if he had won the lottery, now that he would not have to struggle as hard as his peers. He maintained his calm and humble atti

His wife’s tone was incredibly sharp. “Noah Hill, you’re marrying into my family! Into my family! From that day onward, you’re a member of my family. Why would an old country bumpkin attend my wedding? My parents organized it, and if she shows up, she would just be humiliating my parents!”Noah was furious. “If you want to get married, my mother has to be invited! Otherwise, get ready to be divorced!” That night, his wife cried so much she could hardly speak. As she cried, she even reprimanded Noah for being a cold and heartless monster. “My parents are so nice to you, they gave you the entire company. As for me, I’m a university graduate but I didn’t look down on you at all. What’s more, my son likes you so much. What about you? Our wedding ceremony has not been held yet, and you’re already plotting to take over my family?”Noah was infuriated. “When have I ever plotted to take over your family?” His wife snapped at him. “Then why would you invite an old country bumpkin here! Yo

Noah’s eyes turned red with unshed tears. “Mother, I’m sorry. I can’t even invite you to attend your own son’s wedding.” His mother laughed forgivingly. “It’s fine, my dear son. As long as you’re doing well, I'm happy.”After a pause, she asked again, “Tell me, what is the name of the hotel where your wedding ceremony will be held?”Noah immediately answered, “It’s right here in South City, it’s called the Grand Sage International Hotel, it’s a very famous hotel in South City. Mother, my wedding is definitely the best wedding our village has ever seen, it’s such a pity that you can’t attend…” His mother’s laugh deepened. “I’m happy enough as it is! Alright, son, I’m hanging up now, the phone bill isn’t cheap.” “Mom, do take care of yourself.”After ending the call, Noah remained in the phone booth for a long time. Deep down, he was still very unhappy. He recalled the time four years ago, back when he was still in high school. The villagers always teased him because he performe

In the grand and luxurious hotel, Noah was standing inside, looking happy and healthy. Meanwhile, his mother stood crouched outside. Due to her many years of hard work, she could barely straighten her waist now. Just like that, she supported herself on the stairs outside the hotel, looking in with eyes full of longing and happiness. At that moment, Noah felt as if knives were slicing through his heart. He suddenly felt, it was not as easy as it seemed. Marrying into a rich family was not as easy as it seemed. The disdain and disregard they had for him was deeply ingrained in their bones. It could not be changed. Even though he was now being admired by many, deep down, he was in so much more pain and suffering compared to when he was still a poor young man. The second he saw his mother, she gave him an incredibly warm and comforting smile, then turned to leave. His mother was already very, very, happy. She had heard the stories of many well-educated young men who abandoned their poo

He was a man with principles. After leaving his wife, Noah searched for his mother near the hotel. Luckily, he found her. His mother was staying in a small motel that cost only twenty dollars a night. “Mother, you’re so capable. You can ride the bus all the way to South City alone, and you can even find me.” Noah hugged his mother, tears flowing down his cheeks.His mother laughed. “Silly child! I’m only in my fifties, I’m not that old. I have a hunched back, that’s all, and some white hair. You can’t even call women my age living here in the city as old ladies! I’m literate too. I used the money you sent me and first went to town, then I rode the bus to the county town, and then took a taxi to the railway station. Just like that, step by step. You don’t think I can make my way to the big city?”Noah looked at his mother sadly. His old mother must have used her entire life’s wisdom. She had never left the mountains. The letters she knew, she learned together with him when he was in
