Lu Zhixia seemed to see a 20-year-old Song Yaozu in that resolute manner.
"I don't need you! You're not my child; I was just deceived into taking care of you for ten years."
Song Yaozu broke down in tears after hearing this, saying, "Why do you keep saying I'm not your child? I'm clearly the child you raised. You took care of me since I was little, taught me to speak, read, and study, and held me in your arms every night to sleep. How can you say I'm not your mother?"
Song Weidong walked over, grabbed his son, and slapped him.
"I raised you, and this is how you repay me? I may not be doing well now, but I'm still your father, you can't just abandon me like this!"
"It's all because of your infidelity. Otherwise, our family would still be fine. How could we have accumulated so much debt? I don't even want to think about how long it will take to pay it off!" Song Yaozu questioned loudly.
Song Weidong did not defend himself, but instead slapped his two sons twice more, trying to use his paternal authority to correct their thinking.
Song Yaozu just stood there, betting that Lu Zhixia would soften her heart. Whenever he bumped into something, Lu Zhixia would feel very sorry for him, treat his wounds, cook him delicious food, and comfort him.
I was so happy back then, unlike now where I live in constant fear. He's only 10 years old! He's still a child, why does he have to live such a life of anxiety?
Lu Zhixia didn't want to see the father and son continue their dogfighting, so she said to Gu Lingxiao...
"Come on, follow me upstairs."
"Fine!" he replied coldly.
When Song Weidong heard that they were going upstairs together, he thought about how this stranger had barged into his home right after his divorce, so he immediately ran ahead and stopped them.
"You two can't be together, absolutely not! Lu Zhixia, you can only be my wife, you are mine in life and in death, you belong to the Song family!"
Seeing his shameless behavior, Lu Zhixia stepped forward, grabbed his collar with her left hand, and started punching him with her right.
"Who gave you the audacity to say such a thing, Song Weidong! I only married you, I didn't sell myself to you. This retribution is all because of the sins you and your son committed. What right do you have to bother me!"
"Do you really want me to kill you?"
Besides hitting with her right hand, she also kicked him with her feet. Soon, Song Weidong couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, but she still kicked him with her feet.
Song Yaozu was so shocked that he froze. Was this really his mother?
That's so brutal, so vicious! Look at how badly Dad will be beaten to the point of near death.
This is a beating to the bone; it feels like a few more kicks and the person will die!
Gu Lingxiao opened his arms and hugged Lu Zhixia. "Okay, that's enough. If you keep hitting her, something bad will happen."
"How can there be such a person? Shameless! He clearly did something wrong, but he never felt that he was wrong. Instead, he thought that everything was someone else's fault!"
“It’s all in the past now, let’s look to the future!” Gu Lingxiao hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Lu Zhixia, I know you’re devastated right now, but you have to think about the baby. We’ll succeed soon!”
Lu Zhixia gradually gave up resisting. It was indeed a pity that she couldn't kill this scumbag, but if she killed him, she would have to go to jail herself.
It's not worth it. She wants to find her child and give him the best life!
The meaning of being reborn is not to send myself to prison, but to send Song Weidong to where he deserves to be, so that he can receive the punishment he deserves and live a life worse than death!
A light rain began to fall from the sky. Song Weidong lay on the ground, only able to breathe weakly, watching the two of them leave and enter the tenement building.
Song Yaozu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He was crying that his good days were over, and that his mother had not softened her heart. She really didn't want him anymore!
——
Lu Zhixia was still very angry. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the bed. Gu Lingxiao was drying her hair with a towel, and his movements were very gentle.
"Thank you, Gu Lingxiao!"
"Why are you being so polite with me? Didn't we already say that we don't need to say thank you between us?"
"I owe you so much."
"Then prepare to pay it back properly!"
"What are you saying!" Lu Zhixia looked up at him with her small face. "How do you plan for me to repay you?"
Gu Lingxiao leaned closer and whispered, word by word,
What do you think?
Looking at the face so close to his, as if he were about to kiss him, he quickly pushed him away with his hand.
"Alright, stop fooling around, you should go back now!"
"Are you alright by yourself?" Gu Lingxiao handed her the towel in his hand.
Lu Zhixia reached out and took the towel to continue drying her hair.
"You saw how powerful I was just now. If they cause any more trouble, I'll get so angry that I'll throw them off the building!"
"Then be careful and lock the door from the inside," Gu Lingxiao said.
"You too, be careful on the road."
As Lu Zhixia watched him open the door and leave, she felt a sudden emptiness as the door closed, but it quickly disappeared as she continued to dry her hair with a towel.
Gu Lingxiao went downstairs but didn't see the two people. However, he figured they hadn't left, so he spoke up.
"Come out! I can see where you are!"
The father and son emerged from the alley, supporting each other once again.
Song Weidong looked at him and said, "Why are you competing with me? You're so eligible, do you really have to find a divorced woman?"
Song Yaozu pleaded, "Uncle! I can't live without my mother. Please give her back to me. None of us can live without her!"
Gu Lingxiao slowly walked towards them, each step exuding a sense of oppression, causing the two of them to involuntarily retreat until they had nowhere left to go.
