Chapters 327. Tang Hao: Of course, he took over with tears in his eyes.(Part 1)
Tang Hao forgave A Yin and worked even harder to earn money to support his family in order to get her back. Whatever A Yin wanted, Tang Hao bought her. However—
Tang Hao's forgiveness of A Yin only resulted in A Yin and Qian Dongxu's escalating affair.
They would sometimes go to the neighbor Wang's house for secret trysts, and sometimes they would do so while he was working.
One time, Tang Hao was too tired from blacksmithing and fell asleep when he heard a noise in the middle of the night. He lay on his makeshift bed on the floor and saw that A Yin's bed was shaking. Tang Hao's eyes were red, and he was panting heavily.
"Qian, you've gone too far!"
He was met with a beating from Qian Dongxu!
Tang Hao was beaten without any power to fight back, gritting his teeth, filled with grief and indignation.
He had been bullied, his woman had been played with in front of him, and then beaten. Who could he complain to?
"Tang Hao, I'm already being lenient by not killing you. What else do you want? What, you want to take your anger out on me?" Qian Dongxu sneered. "What does it matter to you if I play with your woman?"
With that, Qian Dongxu kicked Tang Hao again and left.
Ah Yin got off the bed and came to Tang Hao's side, quickly using the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor to heal him. While healing him, she said pitifully, "Brother Hao, you can't beat him. Let's just bear with it."
Tang Hao clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't bring himself to hate Ah Yin because he loved her too much.
He could only transfer all his hatred onto that bastard Qian Dongxu.
Next, Qian Dongxu went even further, directly visiting Tang Hao in front of him and NTR'd him, but Tang Hao was powerless to do anything about it.
Thinking of Ah Yin's room, where she was being humiliated by Qian Dongxu, and that he was powerless to do anything about it, Tang Hao could only vent all his anger on the furnace. He swung a large iron hammer and smashed it hard against the iron ingot, treating it as if it represented those two bastards, Qian Dongxu and Qian Xunji, hammering it again and again.
After he finished, Qian Dongxu walked out of Ah Yin's room with a triumphant look on his face and said, "Mouse, I've made up my mind. I'm going to take Ah Yin as my wife. As for you, forget about it."
"What?" Tang Hao stared at Qian Dongxu, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily. "No, this won't do!"
The reason he tolerated Qian Dongxu bullying his lover was that he hoped one day, this bastard Qian Dongxu would get tired of him and go off to be intimate with Ah Yin. He had no hope for that, but there was still hope for Little Tang San. As long as Ah Yin could give birth to Little Tang San for him, Little Tang San would have twin martial souls. Once he nurtured him, Tang Hao would definitely avenge his humiliation and tear that scoundrel Qian Dongxu to pieces. Of course, the Spirit Hall wouldn't be spared either.
But now that the scoundrel Qian actually wanted to marry Ah Yin, Tang Hao was the first to object.
"Who are you to Ah Yin? Does she need your consent?" Qian Dongxu said.
At this moment, Ah Yin straightened her clothes and came out of the room. Qian Dongxu grinned wickedly and said to Ah Yin, "Ah Yin, you tell this dead rat whether you agree to marry me or not."
Ah Yin looked conflicted. Tang Hao's eyes were red, and he gasped for breath, saying to Ah Yin, "Ah Yin, no! Ah Yin!"
Ah Yin looked at Tang Hao affectionately. At this moment, Qian Dongxu suddenly said, "Ah Yin, you don't want anything to happen to this rat, do you?"
Ah Yin's delicate body trembled, and she quickly said, "I...I agree."
"Ahhhhhhh—" Tang Hao was so angry that he fainted on the spot.
When Haozi woke up, the wedding procession had already taken Ayin away. Before leaving, Ayin left Tang Hao a small note: "
Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I had to agree to his marriage proposal because I love you so much. He used your life to blackmail me, I really had no choice. Forget me, Brother Hao, go find your happiness. I'm sorry for what I did to you in this life. For you, I could only wrong myself and submit to that scoundrel Qian Dongxu." "Ah ...
However, to Tang Hao's disappointment, Ah Yin's face was full of happiness after marrying into the Qian family, showing no signs of being forced.
"That damned Qian Dongxu! You must have forced her! Ah Yin is clearly unhappy marrying you, yet you force her to constantly wear a happy expression!" Tang Hao gritted his teeth, gulping down cheap liquor to drown his sorrows.
In his dream, he and Ah Yin were married and had a son, Tang San. The family lived happily together, and Tang San eventually became a god—the Asura God, one of the five great god-kings of the God Realm. Tang San dominated all ages, bestowing upon himself and Ah Yin two lucrative godhoods on the Douluo Continent: the Lord of the Plane and the Life Core Godhood. His wife was virtuous, his son successful, and his descendants would become gods generation after generation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were the most powerful family in the Douluo Continent and the Douluo God Realm.
This dream was far more beautiful than Tang Hao's own. However, he woke up, and then... nothing happened!
Then he started drinking heavily, then watched Ah Yin, who was becoming increasingly mature and beautiful, doing her handicrafts through the window, looking utterly dejected, and stopped looking for other women.
Tang Hao was determined; he wanted Ah Yin.
And so, in the first year, Ah Yin, who had married Qian Dongxu, gave birth to a son for him.
Five years later, she gave birth to a daughter, and seven years later, Ah Yin's belly grew large again.
One child a year, gurgling down her way.
Tang Hao watched with envy that turned purple, his hatred for Qian Dongxu, and even Qian Xunji, reaching an immeasurable level.
"Damn it, damn it, Ah Yin should have been giving birth to my mistress, damn it!"
And so, in Tang Hao's small room—the cries of monkeys on both banks could not be stopped, the light boat had already passed ten thousand mountains!
Watching that bastard Qian Dongxu live a more and more comfortable life, Tang Hao felt like he had eaten shit, suffering unbearably.
However, soon, things suddenly took a turn for the better!
Qian Dongxu, while hunting for spirit rings, was injured by a spirit beast and died from his wounds. The once prosperous Qian family plummeted in fortune.
Upon hearing this news, Tang Hao, reeking of alcohol and disheveled, was immediately overjoyed.
While the Qian family was draped in mourning, Tang Hao celebrated.
"Hahahaha, heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes! Qian thief, you're finally finished! Hahahaha!"
Amidst the celebration, Tang Hao suddenly realized that Ah Yin was single again. Could he still have a chance to have her give birth to a little Tang San?
This thought filled Tang Hao with excitement.
He quickly tidied himself up, shaving his beard, and prepared to go find Ah Yin.
However, before he could find a reason to rekindle their romance, Ah Yin arrived at his door.
Looking at the woman before him—her slightly protruding belly, long, sea-blue hair, holding a little girl in her left arm and a little boy's hand in her right, her face haggard—Tang Hao felt an indescribable pang of heartache.
Ah Yin looked at Tang Hao, her face filled with grievance and sorrow. She threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "Brother Hao, what should I do?"
"Qian Dongxu is dead, but he left me with this whole family. What am I supposed to do? 555555"
Ah Yin then recounted her hardships over the years, such as how Qian Dongxu often beat and scolded her at night. If it weren't for the two children, she would have run away long ago.
When Qian Dongxu was alive, she still had a sliver of hope, but with his death, she was utterly hopeless.
Tang Hao saw A Yin nestled in his arms, pitifully weeping and telling him about her troubles, and the softest part of his heart was instantly touched.
Seeing his mother nestled in another man's arms, a flash of hatred crossed the little boy's eyes. He turned and ran away, unnoticed by Tang Hao and A Yin.
Finally, A Yin, her eyes blurry with tears, looked at Tang Hao and said, "Brother Hao, what should I do? Bang Geng is already old enough to go to the Soul Master Academy, and Xiao Dang is growing up too. Our whole family... it's all on my shoulders."
Tang Hao wanted to tell A Yin to abandon these burdens and come live with him, but then the option of the Seven Trials of the Asura God appeared in his mind!
The Seven Trials of the Asura God: Qian Dongxu is dead, and the helpless A Yin has returned seeking your help. What will you choose?
Option 1: Absolutely refuse to take over. Ah Yin has already married Qian Dongxu and given birth to three children for him. How could I, Tang Hao, a true man, take over someone else's burden? Complete this option, the assessment ends, and you receive the top-tier Seventh Trial reward: Soul Ring Age +10,000 years!
Option 2: Let Ah Yin abandon these children and run away with you. You can accept Ah Yin, but you absolutely cannot accept her children. Complete this option: Ah Yin will not abandon her children for you. In Ah Yin's heart, her children are more important than you. Receive the reward: Ah Yin's estrangement. The assessment continues!
Option 3: Take over with tears in my eyes. It's just Qian Dongxu's children, I'll take them. After I marry Ah Yin, I'll have her give birth to Little Tang San, transferring Ah Yin's love to Little Tang San. I'll also think of a way to kill Qian Dongxu's three bastards. Receive the reward: Ah Yin's favorability +100. The assessment continues!
Seeing these three options, Tang Hao immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He wanted Ah Yin, but not Qian Dongxu's three bastard children. He wasn't so kind as to raise Ah Yin's two children, or even the one in her belly. Even lions know that after seizing the lion king's position, they will kill the offspring of the old lion king, let alone others.
Of the three options, Tang Hao preferred the second one. However—seeing that in Ah Yin's heart, her children were now more important than him, Tang Hao was instantly consumed by jealousy. He was consumed by jealousy because before, he had always been the most important person in Ah Yin's heart. But that damned Qian Dongxu had made Ah Yin bear his children. In a mother's heart, her children are undoubtedly more important. If Ah Yin cared more about Tang San's status, Tang Hao wouldn't mind; after all, Tang San was also his son, the fruit of his and Ah Yin's love. But these three children belonged to that scoundrel Qian Dongxu!
