On the car that took them away, Li Laosi actually attacked her, pleading with her with a ferocious expression.
Thinking back, Li Laosi's face seemed to reappear before my eyes.
"Mother, please help me, okay? I'm still young. Once I go in, I'll never get out again. Mother, you're different. You're already halfway to the grave. It's no big deal if you take my place."
Her heart, still wounded and scarred from the previous attack by Li Laosi, was now being attacked again by him, who was brandishing a sharp knife.
Old Mrs. Li couldn't believe that her youngest son, whom she loved and cherished wholeheartedly, actually thought so much about her and Old Mr. Li.
Even though she and Old Man Li gave everything they had to Li Laosi, why was Li Laosi still dissatisfied, resentful of them, and resentful that they gave him life?
Heartbroken and unable to breathe, Old Mrs. Li had no strength to speak. If she could, she would have preferred to simply die from the pain.
If she goes in, her life will be ruined. It's better to just go now, so that people won't talk about her with such disdain.
Look, that's Granny Li, the woman who sold her own granddaughter.
But things didn't go as she wished. Her desire to faint, or even to end her life, was wishful thinking.
Seeing that she remained silent, Li Laosi flew into a rage, grabbed her by the collar, and shook her around like a rag doll.
"Mom, please help me. Are you angry because of what I just said?"
The fear of being imprisoned for life filled Li Laosi with tension and a sense of detachment, as if he had entered his own world and was completely indifferent to Li Laotai's life or death.
"Mother, I was just talking nonsense. You are my mother, my dear mother, my favorite mother. How could I resent you? Mother, I apologize to you. Please take the blame for me and take all the blame, okay?"
As if he could see his fantasy come true, Li Laosi's eyes began to light up.
"Mother, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes. Mother, you love me the most, you're willing to do anything for me. Mother, I knew you loved me the most."
Old Li Si had gone mad; a strange yet reassuring expression crossed his face as he leaned against Old Lady Li.
She was struggling to breathe, and then Li Laosi shook her violently. After it was over, Li Laosi leaned against her.
Old Mrs. Li felt she saw two people dressed in black and white, and a sudden panic gripped her. She wanted to die, but when she actually faced them...
The unwillingness in her heart still reminded her that she didn't want to die like this, and the strong will to live gave Grandma Li the strength she had.
She pushed away Li Laosi, who was leaning against her, and Li Laotai gasped for breath.
"Fourth brother, I...I can't help you."
"I can speak now," Old Lady Li managed to squeeze out these words from her throat.
Hehehe~
Li Laosi, who had been pushed aside, sat slumped not far from Li Laotai, his hair disheveled and face dirty. After hearing what Li Laotai said...
His chest was filled with unspeakable resentment. Look at this, this is his mother. She says she loves him the most, but she won't even take the blame for him.
Is this love? It's clearly hypocrisy.
Looking back on his life, Li Laosi felt it was all Li Laotai's and Li Laotou's fault; if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Mother, are you really not going to help me?"
Looking up abruptly, in the dimly lit carriage, Old Lady Li could only see Li Laosi's wolf-like eyes, filled with fierce malice and hostility towards her.
She flinched; instinctively, Old Lady Li sensed that something was wrong with Li Laosi at that moment.
"Fourth son, Mom didn't say she wouldn't help you. Calm down first. Mom will help you, Mom will help you with everything. You are my favorite son, how could Mom not help you!"
Old Mrs. Li wanted to calm Li Laosi down first, but Li Laosi wouldn't cooperate.
Hehehe~
The laughter grew even more eerie. Old Li Si stared at Old Li Tai from a strange angle, then suddenly broke into a smile.
"Mother, you're lying. Your eyes tell me you don't want to help me. You're deceiving me. If you really loved me, you would help me without me having to say anything."
"Mother, what are you hiding from? I'm your son! You're afraid of me? You're actually afraid of me..."
The moment she reached out, Old Lady Li recoiled in fear, unsure of what nerve she had touched on Old Man Li.
"Mother, you can't be afraid of me, I'm your son!"
As Li Laosi pinned her to the ground, in the last second of her lucid moment, the old lady Li saw Li Laosi's crazed and ferocious face.
When she woke up, Old Lady Li was in a different place, and her mind was filled with many new thoughts.
There are hers, Old Man Li's, and the eldest and second eldest Li's.
In dreams, reality is the opposite; in their extraneous memories, they become the envy of everyone.
Their sons and grandsons are all very successful, and their granddaughter, Li Fuyi, even married Zhou Wenzhu. Although she and Old Man Li have some disagreements, Li Lao Er and Zhao Dahua still treat them with great respect.
They never separated their family in their entire lives, unlike in reality, where families separate early on, and none of their sons, grandsons, or granddaughters are filial.
Suddenly, a person came to mind. Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but continue thinking; her eldest son seemed different.
In her memory, Li the eldest didn't have a job, and he obediently followed their orders to adopt Yang Guowei... The more Li the old lady thought about it, the more her head ached.
Reality clashed with the extra memories, and an intense pain surged through her mind, causing Old Lady Li to faint again.
When she woke up again, Old Lady Li seemed to vaguely understand something.
The two memories captivated her completely, and for a moment she couldn't even pay attention to Li Laosi, until literacy education was introduced at the police station.
In her dazed state, Old Lady Li finally understood what that memory was.
People have past and present lives; the extra memories are from her past life, while this life is her own.
The more she understood, the more her thinking gradually changed, and the word "guilt" slowly took root in her heart.
When looking at things, Grandma Li no longer only looks at one side; she discovers many more details that she had previously overlooked.
It turns out that, without realizing it, she owed Boss Li so much.
The heavy guilt almost crushed Old Lady Li, making her increasingly taciturn and silent every day. Sometimes she wouldn't say a word for ten days or eight months, becoming a well-known oddball in the community.
Apart from Old Mrs. Li, no one knew how much pain she was in.
She thought her life was over, but things took an unexpected turn. She performed well inside and received a reduction in her lifespan, plus Old Man Li's intervention...
She came out early.
Seeing the sunlight outside again and Old Man Li standing beside her, Old Lady Li smiled in a long time.
Old Man Li was the only person who walked through her life with her. He wasn't perfect, but they spent their lives together.
Back at the production team, not seeing Li Laoda and the others, Li Laotai herself felt much more relaxed.
She didn't know how to face her eldest son.
In my memory, it was their exploitation that led to the early ruin of Li Laoda's family and ultimately cost him his life.
