"Do you think I want to bring it up? When have you been in a good mood in the past two years? Before you broke off the engagent with Li Bao, you’d always go back to the village on vacations, but after Li Bao left, it was good if you went ho once a month! If it hadn’t been for the vixen’s tricks, you and Li Bao would be a couple now."
Including Su Qing, who Mrs. Zhou referred to as "vixen," everyone else at the dinner table kept their heads down and ate without uttering a word.
"Mother, can’t you speak kindly?" Calling her ’vixen’ every ti you open your mouth, whose face are you slapping?
Yes, Su Qing’s face did not look good.
But what about him? Could his face look any better?
Zhou Weimin felt that his mother was truly getting muddled with age, otherwise, how could she call Su Qing a vixen in front of the whole family, embarrassing him, her own son?
Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhou seed to forget one thing—two years ago, had she not been chard by Su Qing’s tactics, thinking Su Qing was a good match, believing her favorite youngest son was fetching a bride from the city, it would be a feather in their cap, and she ended up assisting Su Qing.
Most likely, Mrs. Zhou forgot, or perhaps she deliberately didn’t take responsibility, not wanting Zhou Weimin to bla her and drive a wedge between her and her son, thus calling Su Qing a "vixen" repeatedly and attributing the broken engagent with the Kang Family to her.
Doing so would give Zhou Weimin a vent to release his frustrations.
Mrs. Zhou wasn’t blind, and she could see at that mont that her beloved youngest son was clearly upset since Kang Li returned to the village.
"I wish I could?"
Mrs. Zhou glared at Su Qing and scornfully said, "Do you know what happened at our house before? Your mother-in-law all the way from North City suddenly showed up at our house. Acting as if she brought no gifts, she walked through the gate and imdiately asked if your wife was faking illness to scam money from the family,
regardless of the onlookers outside our gate, she slapped your wife then and there, calling her black-hearted, heartless, a thankless wretch! I’m just amazed, your mother-in-law, regardless of being a worker from a big city..."
Even if her maternal family had faults, they were towards herself as their daughter. Hearing Mrs. Zhou recount faults in front of the entire family, Su Qing put down her utensils and staring coldly at Mrs. Zhou said,
"Mother, why must you drag my mom into it when you’re talking about your son? Yes, my mom did slap , but that was because I did sothing wrong. My mom hitting and scolding is warranted, and I don’t find anything wrong with that, needing you, Mother, to drag my mom into this and talk irresponsibly?"
When her daughter-in-law snapped back, Mrs. Zhou imdiately beca furious, raising her hand as if she was about to slap Su Qing, but Su Qing’s gaze was very cold, "You dare? If you dare touch even a finger on , I’ll report you to the Won’s Federation in town!"
"You..."
Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth.
"I need money because I’m sick, and you don’t give a di. I’ve even been coughing up blood, and you just pretend not to see it, having no choice, I can only write letters and call ho, asking my parents to send so money... because my illness is not cheap, I asked my parents for money a few tis. My mom, not knowing who tipped her off,
ca all the way to see . Yes, my mom didn’t bring gifts, but she gave her grandson money and took to the city’s major hospital for a full body check-up. And you, Mother? What have you done about my illness?
You just watched as I lay sick, unable to gather strength and listened to my coughing as if I’m coughing out my lungs, not giving a single penny, constantly yelling and forcing to go to work,
