Mrs. Tian knew what Old Man Gao meant, nothing more than saying that the good days of resting and healing were over, and it was time to continue suffering.
Upon hearing Mrs. Tian say so, Gao Yaozu longed for it but hesitated, "You know Dad won't agree."
Mrs. Tian: "Then go out and see, is there any family where the couple has been married for decades, yet the husband still has to look at his father's face to sleep in his room? Gao Yaozu, I've endured this kind of life for twenty years. Look at the gray hair on both of our heads; how many more good years do we have left? Do you really want to live this pitiful life forever?"
Back then, the family saw Gao Yaozu's status as a scholar when arranging the marriage. Who would have thought that at home, he didn't have any of a scholar's pride, and even matters in the bedroom were controlled by his father.
