Seeing Elder Lee's deceased portrait, Qiao Dongliang cried uncontrollably. His agitated look was comparable to Elder Lee's children. Qiao Dongliang remembered that after he lost his father, Elder Lee was like a father to him as he helped him, took care of him, and watched him form a family.
Even if Ding Jiayi wasn't an understanding wife and loving mother and their lives were a mess in the later days, Qiao Dongliang never put the blame for these things on Elder Lee and felt that it was his fault. Ding Jiayi was his wife. If something was wrong with Ding Jiayi, she should be managed by him, the husband.
He was the one who didn't realize it and let Ding Jiayi have the chance to teach one of them bad and neglect the other of them, causing a family to become scattered. Words couldn't describe the sadness Qiao Dongliang felt when he thought of how much Elder Lee had helped him but he couldn't do much in the end to repay him.
