Before meeting Geng Wenxiu, Xu Chunliang first looked at the items Jiang Ailian left behind. Among them was a diary that piqued his curiosity. Mrs. Jiang actually had the habit of keeping a diary. As he flipped through it, he saw that the old lady had written all her life's misfortunes and grievances in it.
Xu Chunliang knew after reading a few pages that this diary would be key to solving the problem.
Inside the diary was also a letter. Xu Chunliang opened it; it was the old lady's will. Jiang Ailian had worked hard all her life to raise her two sons, help them start their own families, and take care of their children.
Her husband's temper was bad; he was incompetent, addicted to alcohol, and easily angered. From youth to old age, he often hit and scolded her. The old lady could say she never had a few peaceful days in her life.
When the eldest son married and had children, she helped raise the children, but her daughter-in-law never treated her kindly.
