I Drove My Mother Away, Then a Diary Made Me Weep

For his wife, I cruelly drove his mother out of the countryside.

It was only when I saw the diary she left behind

that I realized how badly I had been wrong.

I thought I was getting rid of a burden,

but I never knew I was turning away the person who loved me most in the world.

As I was consumed by regret, my brother and sister-in-law kept pressing their advantage and bullying my family.

This time, I will no longer be weak or back down.

I will spend my whole life repaying what I owe my mother;

anyone who dares to bully my family will pay a hundredfold!

Only now have I learned that

my father did not die in an accident all those years ago. He was framed and died with his name unjustly stained.

For more than twenty years, my mother and I have endured scorn and humiliation.

The village Party secretary betrayed his word, a businessman behind the scenes wielded unchecked power,

and even those closest to us hid the truth.

Now, armed with irrefutable evidence, I storm into the courtroom,

tear away every layer of deceit, and expose the powerful protectors behind it all!

I will clear my father's name,

restore the Chen family's honor,

and make every villain pay!
