Although he had lunch at home before coming here, he just had a couple of bites.
After all, who can expect a grown man to have any cooking skills?
When he smelled the rich fragrance, he swallowed his saliva violently.
Just as he was about to joke and ask his mother to get him something to eat, Zhang Chunxue spoke in a cold voice.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhong Chengyi's attention was immediately diverted, and he quickly said, "Mom, I'm your son, it's only natural for me to come visit you!"
He handed the things in his hand to Zhong Xiaoxiao, and said with a bitter face: "How can you get married just like that? You didn't even discuss it with me... I went away for a long time, and when I came back I found out that I suddenly had a stepfather."
"Discuss it?" Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but sneer. "Who do you think you are? Do I need to discuss this with you?"
Her eyes turned cold: "Why? I need your consent before I can get married?"
As soon as Zhong Chengyi saw his mother like this, he knew she was angry.
His scalp tingled, and he quickly said, "Mom, that's not what I meant..."
"I mean, if you told us in advance, we, your sons, would also like to give you some glory."
"No need," Zhang Chunxue flatly refused. "It would be best if you didn't get involved."
She crossed her arms and looked at Zhong Chengyi: "Your two brothers are too embarrassed to come to my house, but you are even more shameless than them."
Zhong Chengyi couldn't help but chuckle.
When he came, his eldest brother also said that if he went, he would most likely be ridiculed by his mother, so Zhong Chengyi should not go.
But Zhong Chengyi felt that no matter what, this was still his biological mother.
His mother is married now, he can't just not come to visit her, right?
Then his son is really a piece of shit.
The most important thing is that he also wants to ask his mother if anyone has visited his father's grave recently.
What bothered him now were the things he often found in his father's grave.
Therefore, facing Zhang Chunxue's sarcasm, he could only put on a smile and said, "Mom, I wasn't here when you got married. Now that I'm here and I don't come to congratulate you, then I'm such an unfilial son!"
He rubbed his hands: "Mom, you know, I have been in favor of your marriage with Director Song from the beginning..."
"Seeing that you two have finally tied the knot, I'm happy for you too!"
Zhang Chunxue was too lazy to listen to his nonsense: "I don't believe you came here today just to congratulate us..."
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
She actually guessed Zhong Chengyi's purpose, but deliberately mocked him: "Are you so poor that you can't make ends meet, so you come to me to borrow money?"
Zhong Chengyi quickly apologized with a smile: "Mom, look at what you said... Didn't I bring you some things? I can still make a living."
He swallowed hard, then spoke tentatively, "Mom, I just want to know who has visited my dad's grave recently?"
"I think I saw signs that someone had been there."
Zhang Chunxue started to mock again: "Hey, you just came back from somewhere and you're already going to your father's grave?"
As she spoke, she stared coldly into Zhong Chengyi's eyes.
Zhong Chengyi always felt that his mother seemed to know everything.
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that he dug it out because of the box his mother found?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunxue spoke again slowly: "Are you unhappy with me getting married again, so you went to your father's grave to complain to him?"
Zhong Chengyi: “…”
Well, he was overthinking it.
His mother was still devoted to mocking him in every way.
He coughed lightly before continuing, "I've been wanting to go out for a long time, so when I went up the mountain, I went to check on my father's grave, and I found signs that someone had been there..."
He looked at Zhang Chunxue nervously: "Mom, do you know who has been there?"
He has been secretly inquiring in the village these two days, but there are so many people going to the mountain every day that he has no idea who has been there.
After all, just by going around the mountain a little bit you can get directly to his father's grave.
Since these people couldn't find out, he had no choice but to ask his mother if there was any chance she might know.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunxue nodded: "I know!"
Zhong Chengyi had come here to try his luck, but he didn't expect his mother to actually know about it. He was immediately excited: "Mom! Who has been there?"
Zhong Chengyi's voice was also filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Zhang Chunxue looked at him with a smile: "Me!"
"I went with Xiaoxiao."
Zhong Chengyi's expression froze instantly.
Zhang Chunxue continued, "I'm getting married for the second time, so I have to talk to your father about it. So Xiaoxiao and I went to your father's grave... Is there any problem with that?"
Zhong Chengyi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
What's the problem with that? Not at all.
His mother is getting married, and it is only natural for her to visit his father's grave before getting married.
But this is not what he wants to know!
Zhong Chengyi suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Mom, besides you, has anyone else been there?"
Zhang Chunxue looked at him and said abruptly, "Do you think I look idle?"
Zhong Chengyi was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Zhang Chunxue sneered, "I just sit there with nothing to do, watching who goes to your father's grave every day?"
Zhong Chengyi was speechless.
Zhang Chunxue looked Zhong Chengyi up and down before speaking calmly, "What's wrong with you? Are you suddenly concerned about this? I've never seen you care so much about your father's grave!"
Her eyes narrowed slightly: "Why, is there any secret in your father's grave?"
Zhong Chengyi felt even more uneasy when he heard this, and he forced a smile: "Mom, that's Dad's grave, what secrets could there be..."
He swallowed and said, "When I passed by my father's grave, I saw that the grass behind his grave was a little messy, so I was worried that someone had gone to my father's grave to destroy it."
He smiled awkwardly: "Since no one has been there, I feel relieved."
He felt his heart was bleeding, but he had to pretend nothing happened.
Seeing the rich aroma still coming from the kitchen, he immediately said, "Mom, what are you busy with? How about I come and help?"
As he said this, he wanted to roll up his sleeves and go up.
Zhang Chunxue flatly refused: "No need, just go back the same way you came!"
Her tone was very calm: "I don't need you here, so don't come to me for no reason."
She stared into Zhong Chengyi's eyes again and said word by word: "Don't forget that we have separated!"
Zhong Chengyi really wanted to say that they just separated, not severed their relationship.
Chapter 164
But seeing that his mother clearly didn't welcome him, he could only move his lips and walk out slowly.
"Then... I'll be leaving first."
Zhang Chunxue's expression didn't change at all: "Oh, let's go."
Zhong Chengyi: “…”
His father didn't bless him, and his mother didn't like him either.
