77. Should I die?

Xu Wenqiang stood outside the crowd, looking at the onlookers expressionlessly, listening to Xu Yanmei's screams that penetrated the crowd.

Xu Wenqiang had two choices.

The first option was to turn around and leave, and then this farce that was happening would have nothing to do with her. She could pretend that she knew nothing, not knowing the trial Xu Yanmei was facing, not knowing everything that was happening right now, and then live a peaceful and quiet life.

The second option was to push aside the onlookers, go over to close the door for Xu Yanmei, and help her pick up the clothes that had fallen on the floor. Even if it was a trial, she should at least be allowed to put on her clothes first.

After careful consideration, Xu Wenqiang did not turn around and leave. She chose to help Xu Yanmei put on her clothes first.

Xu Wenqiang had two reasons for making this choice. One was that as a daughter, she had to help Xu Yanmei. The other was that as a woman, she also had to help Xu Yanmei.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way…”

Xu Wenqiang walked through the crowd and came to the door of the room where the adultery was caught.

"Where did this girl come from?"

"What is this girl planning to do?"

…

Xu Wenqiang lowered her head and walked into the room. Without saying a word, she closed the door. The thin door couldn't stop many rumors, but at least it could block those malicious prying eyes.

Turning around, Xu Wenqiang glanced around the room. Chen Long was at least dressed, while Xu Yanmei was sitting on the bed with her hair disheveled and wrapped in a quilt.

As soon as Xu Yanmei saw Xu Wenqiang, she shouted, "Xu Wenqiang, why are you here too?"

"Don't worry about it." Xu Wenqiang found some clothes from under the bed and threw them to Xu Yanmei.

"Chen Yang, let's talk about it when we get back." Chen Long was only concerned about Chen Yang and didn't care about Xu Yanmei at all.

"Let's talk about this right here," Chen Yang said through gritted teeth. "Tell me how you two bastards plan to make amends to my mother!"

Xu Yanmei, who was curled up in bed getting dressed, was furious when she heard this. "Chen Yang, your mother has been dead for so many years. How can I apologize to her for this?"

"Shut up!" Chen Long turned around and shouted to Xu Yanmei anxiously.

Xu Yanmei then yelled back, "If you want to be scolded by your son, that's your business. Why should I just sit there and let him scold me in vain?"

"I don't care about you." Chen Long immediately lost his momentum.

Xu Wenqiang watched coldly from the side. She was impressed to see that Xu Yanmei could still maintain such momentum even after being caught cheating in bed.

Chen Yang was so angry at Xu Yanmei's aura that his teeth were bared and his eyes were cracked. "Do you have any shame left? My mother and you were like sisters, and you destroyed her family. She died because of you, and you still don't repent. Are you even human?"

"Chen Yang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Yanmei first put on a few pieces of clothes, covering her body completely. Then she got off the bed and walked in front of Chen Yang.

Although Xu Yanmei was wearing clothes, they were tight-fitting, so her female features and the fat on her belly were clearly outlined by the clothes.

In front of such a mature yet decadent female body, even Chen Yang avoided looking away.

But Xu Yanmei was completely unaware.

"Chen Yang, I'm going to make things clear with you today. To be honest, when your mother was alive, Chen Long and I fell in love, but I never did anything to wrong her. I swear to God, believe it or not.

Your mother has been dead for so many years now, and the people and things now have nothing to do with her. Your father has no women, and I have no men. What happened between him and me is a matter of course. I didn't tell you before because your father was a coward. Now that you know, it's just the way it is. You're not a child anymore, so don't think too much about it and make a fuss about it.

After Xu Yanmei finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Xu Wenqiang stared at the dusty spider web in the corner of the room in silence.

At this moment, Xu Yanmei was selfish like an irrational animal, with only her own desires in her mind. Although her words were not wrong and every word made sense, every word that was both right and reasonable was unbearable.

The one who suffered the most was Chen Yang.

"Go to hell!"

Feeling uncomfortable, Chen Yang chose violence. He raised his fist and swung it at Xu Yanmei, who was thinking like an animal.

Xu Yanmei was knocked to the ground by a punch. She immediately got up from the ground, shouting "You dare to hit me", and pounced on Chen Yang to fight.

"Why are you still fighting? Stop it." Chen Long was trying to mediate the fight, and he didn't forget to call out to Xu Wenqiang, "Wenqiang, don't just watch the fun, come over and mediate."

Xu Wenqiang didn't get involved. No matter how many grievances and disputes there were, in the end, they would all be resolved through violence.

She stood aside, watching the three men struggle for a while, then said to them, "If you make any more noise, the police will be called."

When the three men heard the word "police", they finally calmed down.

"Uncle Long, take Chen Yang home first." Xu Wenqiang said.

"Why should I listen to you? I won't go back. I'm going to beat this shameless woman to death." Chen Yang yelled and was about to attack again.

"Come on, if you can't kill me, I will kill you." Xu Yanmei shouted unwilling to be outdone.

"Let's go, let's go home first!" Chen Long pushed Chen Yang and left first.

After Chen Long and Chen Yang, father and son, left, Xu Yanmei became deflated and collapsed to the ground.

Xu Wenqiang picked up the other clothes that Xu Yanmei had scattered on the ground and handed them to her, "Put on some clothes, don't catch a cold."

Xu Yanmei cursed as she put on her clothes, "It's almost Chinese New Year, how damn unlucky!"

Xu Wenqiang didn't say anything, still looking at the dusty spider web in the corner.

"Xu Wenqiang, do you also think that I am not a human being and I should die?" Xu Yanmei suddenly asked.

Xu Wenqiang picked up a comb from the table and handed it to the disheveled Xu Yanmei, saying, "You are my mother. I am a human being, so of course you are a human being too. Also, I will not watch you die."

Xu Yanmei took the comb and sneered, "You really are worthy of being raised by me."

By the time Xu Wenqiang and Xu Yanmei emerged from their room, the onlookers had already dispersed. As soon as they reached the first floor, the hotel owner called out, "Pay your money quickly."

"Chen Long, this bastard, asked me to pay again." Although Xu Yanmei was reluctant, she had no choice but to take out the money.

After leaving the small hotel, Xu Wenqiang asked Xu Yanmei, "Mom, does it have to be Chen Long?"

Xu Yanmei said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that no one wants me except Chen Long. Do you think I don't want to find someone else?"

"Do you have to find a man?" Xu Wenqiang asked again.

"I am a woman. Is it a crime for me to find a man to live with and sleep with?" Xu Yanmei asked back.

Xu Wenqiang was speechless for a moment.

Various "Happy New Year" music can be heard from the shops on the street, and the faces of the pedestrians in a hurry are full of anticipation for the New Year.

Xu Wenqiang suddenly thought of Xiao Cheng again.

"Mom, I'm not going home tonight. I'm staying at my classmate's house."

After Xu Wenqiang finished speaking, she ran away.
