Chapter 9 I Don’t Want You or Your Son
It was at this time that Xu Shaojun took action.
After all, there are more and more people watching. If there are people among them who know him, the impact will be serious and it will be bad for his reputation in school.
He frowned, stepped forward and grabbed the mop handle. He seemed calm, but in fact he was secretly exerting force in his hands, which easily made Mother Zhong relieve her of her strength. As soon as she loosened her grip, the mop fell to the ground.
"aunt."
The light refracted in through the window, and half of the darkness poured into Xu Shaojun's eyes.
He stood in the backlight, his figure gradually lengthened, his face remained as polite as ever, but his voice was so cold that it was frightening.
“Enough is enough.”
Zhong's mother was so exhausted she was out of breath. She looked up and sneered, "Do you think I can't see? You lured my daughter into marriage, and when something went wrong you asked your mother and sister to stand up for you. And you didn't have to do anything and just sat back and reaped the benefits. You really played a good hand."
"Why are you acting so arrogant now?"
Glancing at the two children sleeping beside her, Zhong's mother's eyes were filled with complex emotions, including resentment, hatred, and a hint of imperceptible love. This love came from Zhong Qiao, because she loved the whole family.
She did not love these two children, and was even more unwilling to acknowledge their identities. She even hated them for ruining her daughter's life. But they were her daughter's children after all, connected by blood. Even if the Xu family was wrong, the children were innocent.
"If it weren't for the two children, I would beat you too."
Xu Shaojun didn't say anything.
"Son, son, my heart is so painful."
Zhou Ping was beaten unconscious, and his former dignity was gone. He lay on the ground crying.
Xu Lili was not in a much better condition either, and she reached out to pull her guiltily.
"……mom."
Zhou Ping was so angry that her nose was surging with air, and she glared at me, "Don't call me mom, I don't have a daughter like you!"
"You heartless girl! Your mother was beaten right in front of you, and you ran away so fast! If I had known you were so useless, I should have listened to them and drowned you in the chamber pot when I gave birth to you! Once and for all!"
Xu Lili's eyes were red and she weakly wanted to open her mouth to explain, but when she smelled the stench on Zhou Ping's body, the stench seemed to penetrate into her nose.
The sour, smelly, and pungent fermentation smells made it impossible for her to breathe and she almost vomited on the spot.
The more Zhou Ping thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Instead of making a fortune, she was beaten with a mop.
In her life, she could get whatever she wanted in the village, and quarreling and fighting with the wives and mothers of the same villagers was no problem. She could scold them so badly that they would not dare to go out for three days.
Now he has suffered such a great loss that he is crying his heart out.
Her hair was disheveled and stained with unknown liquid, and she was smelly as she grabbed Xu Shaojun as a life-saving straw.
"Sons are better because they know how to speak up for their mothers. Daughters are just money-losing things!"
Xu Shaojun was caught off guard by her and showed disgust on his face, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. He just closed his eyes slightly and clenched his back teeth.
Xu Lili, who was suddenly scolded, was petrified on the spot.
After a moment, his face was filled with sadness and unwillingness.
That's how mom is.
Her eldest brother is idle and does not work. He plays mahjong and gambles with his group of friends every day. She says she dislikes him, but actually she likes him very much.
Her second brother was a good student, well-educated, and a famous university student in the area. She loved him even more and wanted to worship him like a Buddha. She praised her second brother as a genius to everyone she met.
And what about myself?
Xu Lili's face was distorted with jealousy.
I haven't read a single day!
Her mother thought it was useless for girls to study as they would get married sooner or later, so she arranged for her to work in a factory before she came of age.
My mother used the money she earned to supplement the family income, and never mentioned herself in front of outsiders. People who didn't know her would think that the Xu family only had two precious sons, and no one like her.
Perhaps because she felt aggrieved, Xu Lili stiffened her neck and let her point at her and scold her, with an expression that said, "Whatever happens, I don't care."
Xu Shaojun closed the door, locking out those who were passing by to watch the show.
The world seemed to suddenly become quiet at this moment.
His eyes were burning as he stared at Zhong Qiao lying on the hospital bed.
"Zhong Qiao, are you satisfied with the situation now?"
Make trouble?
Zhong Qiao thought it was really funny.
The bits and pieces of memories from her past life flooded into her mind like a movie.
When she and he first came to Suzhou, she brought a lot of gifts with her for the first time, but was treated with all kinds of difficulties and disdain by the Xu family.
She didn't know how to wash clothes or cook, but was forced to learn. She also had to get up early and go to work in the factory late, doing the hardest and most tiring work. When she came back, she could only eat their leftovers and clean up the dishes.
She was determined to split the family business, so Zhou Ping deliberately gave her a firewood stick and a dying chicken, and assigned her to the most dilapidated tile-roofed house.
There are mosquitoes in the summer and it leaks in the winter, so it is impossible to sleep well.
She came to borrow rice, but Zhou Ping refused to lend it to her. Instead, she made a plate of scallion-fried eggs with rice, deliberately smacked her lips in front of her, and exaggeratedly said it smelled so good.
Or he would move the chicken shed to her small tiled house while she was working during the day, and when she came home, the ground was covered with chicken shit and there was no place to step.
When she was about to eat, Zhou Ping brought a mandarin duck enamel bucket and urinated not far from her, just to disgust her.
She was pregnant and had to work every day with her big belly. She was so hungry that she was sweating and her eyes were blurry. However, the Xu family only gave her steamed buns with pickles. Xu Shaojun had eggs to eat every day because he was studying.
After she gave birth, she didn't even have a thicker quilt on her bed. When she woke up, there was no hot food or hot water, only pickles and porridge.
She had endured these unfair treatments and the overt and covert oppression for so long, and Xu Shaojun couldn't see it. And now, Zhou Ping wanted to blackmail them first, and their family just resisted, so Xu Shaojun thought she did it on purpose?
Oh, it turns out that Xu Shaojun is not blind.
It's just that I was selectively blind before.
Zhong Qiao smiled, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, slow and leisurely, but loud enough for everyone present to hear.
“Not satisfied.”
"I won't be satisfied until I divorce you completely."
Xu Shaojun's face looked grim, and after a while, he managed to utter a meaningless word from between his teeth.
"Zhong Qiao, divorce is fine, but don't regret it! Our Xu family can give up our daughter, but our son must be mine!"
Zhong Qiao looked at the sleeping child beside him and laughed at himself.
In her previous life, she got up early and went to bed late, and worked hard to raise Xu Yulin. Xu Shaojun seemed to have disappeared from beginning to end, using the excuses of studying and work as an excuse, and never cared about the two children.
Even so, Xu Yulin still admired him to the core and naively thought that Xu Shaojun loved him.
Maybe human nature is just mean. We don't cherish what is readily available, but like to imagine things that we can't get and flatter them stubbornly.
Since the father and son "love" each other so much, how could she not agree to it?
Xu Shaojun didn't know what Zhong Qiao was thinking in those few seconds, but in his opinion, there was no mother who didn't love the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty.
As long as his son is in his hands, won’t Zhong Qiao let him control him?
He was confident that he had everything under control, and said mercifully, "Zhong Qiao, as long as you admit that you were wrong and apologize to my mother, I can forgive you for the sake of our past friendship and let you continue to stay in the Xu family."
Mr. Zhong and others looked at Zhong Qiao worriedly.
Zhong Siqi was about to speak when he was stopped by Zhong's mother.
"Mom?" Zhong Siqiao looked confused.
Didn't Mom just stand up for my sister so majestically? Why is she backing down now?
However, Zhong's mother did not answer him, but just stood behind Zhong Qiao, watching her silently.
Get married, get divorced.
This is my daughter's decision.
Since the mistake has been made, there is no point in blaming them. As parents, they can fight for Zhong Qiao and sacrifice their lives for him, but——
If my daughter wants to completely get rid of this kind of life, she must first stand up on her own.
But……
Mother Zhong's eyes were full of worry.
It is said that children are the apple of their mother's eye, so many men get married and their temperament changes drastically after their wives give birth to children, and they become disloyal to their wives.
The reason is that a child can completely bind a woman's life. A man doesn't need to use any means to make a woman willingly give everything for the child.
It is extremely cruel to separate a mother and her child.
Qiao Qiao is still so young, still a child, they are worried...
However, the next second, Zhong Qiao's almost calm and indifferent voice echoed in the delivery room.
"I don't want it anymore."
"I, Zhong Qiao, don't want you or our son anymore."
