Chapter 348 I will never agree

Erniu's mother was a little dumbfounded.

“Fang Erniu, I think you’ve gone mad. You’ve been causing trouble for so long since you came back. I’ve never seen you cause so much trouble before…”

"Likewise."

Fang Erniu looked up at her mother and said, "I never realized before that you were so jealous of me doing well."

"...It's still because of Su Laosan. What's so good about him? Are all the men in the world dead? Why do you have to be with him?" Erniu's mother's eyes were red with anger.

She's said it a million times already, she's doing it for her own good!

Why can't she listen to reason?

"Yes, I can't live without him. He's the best in the world. If he's not doing well, I won't be doing well either."

After she finished speaking, she gave a mocking laugh, "Forget it, why bother arguing with you about this? You live in your own world and won't listen to anything I say."

"Erniu..."

Sister-in-law Fang called out worriedly.

Fang Erniu turned her head, looked at her, and smiled.

Sister-in-law Fang looked into her eyes; she had never seen her sister-in-law with such a sorrowful look in her eyes.

She didn't know what to say to comfort her sister-in-law; it seemed that nothing she said could console her.

She picked up some scrambled eggs with toon leaves and placed them on her pancake, saying, "After we finish eating, let's go together."

Erniu's father sighed and glanced at Fang's sister-in-law with a frown, as if criticizing her for following Fang Erniu's nonsense.

"You're not allowed to go. What would you do there?"

Erniu's mother's voice was somewhat shrill as she abruptly interrupted them, "...Are you trying to make your father and me look foolish in front of the eldest son's family?!"

Fang Erniu looked up at her, then at her father.

Erniu's father felt uneasy under her gaze and didn't dare to utter a sound. He didn't say anything either. Why was she looking at him?

A second later, he found out.

Erniu's mother slammed her hand on the table and asked Fang Erniu, "Did you hear that?"

Fang Erniu stood up, grabbed the bowl of hot and sour soup that Erniu's father had been protecting, and smashed it next to the bowl with a "smack".

The room fell silent again.

Erniu's mother is furious.

Pointing a trembling finger at Fang Erniu, she cursed, "...I'm your mother! I gave birth to you and raised you, feeding you every drop of water in your mouth, and you treat me like this for a man? Have you lost your conscience? I should have drowned you in the toilet after you were born..."

Fang Erniu stared at her intently, then suddenly gave a mocking smile.

She said, "Mom, you can do it now too."

What?

Before Erniu's mother could react, Fang Erniu suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her outside.

She was startled.

He slapped Fang Erniu's hand and yelled, "What are you doing? Fang Erniu, let go..."

The others were too frightened to eat and stared coldly at the mother and daughter.

Erniu's dad was just about to complain about his daughter throwing his food, but now seeing her crazy state, he didn't dare to say a word.

"Fang Erniu!"

Erniu's mother couldn't break free from her daughter. She felt that her daughter's little hands were very strong. The more she struggled, the tighter her wrists were gripped. It was really strange. This brat used to be able to fly away when she chopped firewood. How come she has so much strength now?

Sister-in-law Fang was worried about Fang Erniu, so she quickly followed her out.

When the children saw that they had all left, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and went after them.

Only Erniu's father remained. He sighed and muttered, "This family is really going to fall apart. It's all that wretched woman's fault. I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry such a thing and give birth to such unfilial children..."

After dragging her mother to the outhouse, Fang Erniu let go of her, walked over, and stood next to the dug-out latrine. "Come on, push me in."

"You're insane!"

Erniu's mother looked at her like she was crazy, "She'll die if she falls."

Fang Erniu looked at her.

The question was, "Didn't you say that I should be drowned the moment I was born?"

Erniu's mother's heart skipped a beat. Looking into Fang Erniu's eyes, she opened her mouth, "You..."

Fang Erniu glanced at her sister-in-law and several nephews who were running out behind her, looking at her with concern. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she asked her mother, "Mom, are you still going to refuse?"

Erniu's mother glared at her.

She said angrily, "Those were just words spoken in anger. Can't you tell they were just words spoken in anger? Don't you know how much I've doted on you since you were little?"

"I can't tell, I don't know."

Fang Erniu said, "It's just like I don't know why you ruined my marriage with Su Laosan."

"You...you're going to drive me crazy."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Erniu's mother guiltily tried to cover it up, saying, "But I stopped making demands later, didn't I? Why didn't you tell them that..."

What did I say?

Fang Erniu asked her, "My older brother is in prison and he still wants to push all the blame onto Auntie and Su Laosan, trying to ruin their family and absolve himself. You single-handedly turned both families into a fight to the death. What can I say or do?"

After thinking for a moment, Erniu's mother understood what Fang Erniu was talking about. She moved her lips, frowned, and looked at Fang Erniu with a reproachful expression.

"I was wondering why you were acting so strangely since you came back. Why are you blaming me for what your older brother did? I only mentioned those two unreasonable conditions, and I said I would take them back and not bring them up again..."

Fang Erniu looked at her, a sense of powerlessness spreading through her body.

Such a simple truth, even she, who is uneducated, understands it, how could her mother not understand it?

She understood.

She's just pretending to be stupid, trying to avoid taking responsibility for everything that happened because of her.

"Mom, I went to see my older brother today and told him that if he ever thinks about Aunt and Su Laosan again, I'll die with him!"

Erniu's mother's eyes widened instantly. "What?! Are you crazy...?"

"...You ruined me, and you want to ruin my family and Su Laosan's family too. I will never allow it." Fang Erniu said this calmly.

But the calm beneath the surface of her madness left Erniu's mother stunned for quite a while.

She shrieked, "Fang Erniu, you've gone mad! He's your own brother, and you're doing this for a man..."

"Mom, you really are my brother's mother."

Fang Erniu looked at her and said, "You two are even saying the same thing word for word. I'm leaving it here. You can try it if you don't believe me, as long as you can bear the consequences of losing your children at the same time and having no one to care for you in your old age."

"you!"

Erniu's mother gritted her teeth, "Are you threatening me again?!"

"This is not a threat, it's a warning."

Fang Erniu's smile didn't reach her eyes. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Mom, you don't actually think that because you treated your sister-in-law like that, you're fantasizing that she'll take care of you when you're old and bedridden, do you?"

Erniu's mother imagined the scene she had described: lying alone in bed, unable to get up, while outside, Sister-in-law Fang was having a lively time with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. She was thirsty and called for help, but no one answered; she was starving and wanted to eat, but no one answered; she needed to use the toilet, but no one answered. She had to eat, drink, and relieve herself all in bed...

The scene was so terrifying that Erniu's mother took a step back in fright.

Fang Erniu stopped looking at her, lifted her foot and walked towards Fang Dasao and her children, bent down to pick up the youngest child, and called Fang Dasao to go back and continue eating.

The little nephew hugged her neck, brought his little mouth close to hers, and gently blew on her.

Her pouting little mouth would kiss her cheek as she walked; it was soft and sweet.

Fang Erniu remembered Su Laosan telling her with a grin that they, like his elder brother and sister-in-law, only had one son and one daughter. Although she was extremely embarrassed at the time, she still secretly wondered which of their children would resemble more.
