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

Noah greeted his father-in-law then mentioned the divorce. However, at that moment, his mother opened her mouth. “Noah, you’re wrong for requesting a divorce when your wife is pregnant. Apologize to your father-in-law and follow him home!”Even though his mother had never left the mountains her entire life, she was still an understanding woman. She knew to value peace and harmony above everything else. The moment his mother’s words left her mouth, his father-in-law started reprimanding him too. “You rascal! How could you do this! It’s normal for couples to argue, how could you ask for a divorce just because of an argument? Requesting for a divorce from the woman who is carrying your child! Are you even human!”Noah knew he was at fault, so he lowered his head and apologized. “I’m sorry.” “Go home!” His father-in-law ordered. Noah did not move. His father-in-law continued, “Since your mother is here, invite her home with us. I think your mother should just stay. After all, Willo
