Bai Na didn't know any of this; they were all illiterate, so writing letters wasn't an option.
However, the dramatic changes in the Bai Family upset Weng Jiefang.
In his heart, Bai Na was still his wife. He had been waiting for the Bai Family to fall into hard times, hoping they would come to him. Then, he would naturally take Bai Na back since having another woman at home would make life different. Now, he had to cook, wash clothes, and tend to the fields himself.
Although his life was originally like this, during the year or so Bai Na was there, life was different.
Just thinking about it made him feel good; could it compare to now?
So, he kept planning how to bring Bai Na back for that kind of life.
He was waiting for the Bai Family to really be unable to cope. When he showed up at their door, they wouldn't gratefully let him take Bai Na away? Then, Bai Na would work for him like a horse for the rest of her life.
