Song Ruier didn't look at Qiao Yunni and her daughter, but instead faced Old Lady Song and Boss Song.
"Grandma, Uncle, please let my sister go."
"What?" Old Mrs. Song was about to jump up and down when she heard this. She pointed at Song Ruier and scolded, "You brat, are you siding with outsiders? Do you want to go with them too?"
Song Lao Er and Chen Shi were very nervous. They had two daughters, and Chen Shi's health was damaged and she could no longer have children. She had been ridiculed countless times, and they were afraid that they would not have anyone to send them off to their death by breaking a basin.
Qiao Yunni opened her arms, ready to welcome her son.
She felt that if she was going to take them, she should take them all. Her son was already ten years old and had some ability to take care of people. If he could support his sister, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
At worst, she could arrange for them to work as apprentices in the shop before she died.
Song Ruier shook her head: "It's tough outside after leaving home. There's no food or shelter. My mother's legs aren't good, and she won't live much longer. When that time comes, my sister won't be able to bear the hardship and will come back on her own."
“My sister is being unreasonable and willful. She even threatened the Song family with suicide. Forcing her to stay is not the solution. Let her go out and see the world for herself. She will then realize her mistake and listen to Grandma and my uncle and aunt more.”
He analyzed his mother's life and death so calmly, and how his sister ultimately had to compromise, without showing the slightest emotion.
Qiao Yunni's face froze, her hands fell limply to her sides, and the light in her eyes vanished.
If her daughter's actions just now were like the warmth of spring, pulling her back from the brink of despair...
Her son's words plunged her into an ice cave, chilling her to the bone.
She couldn't believe that her son, who had been acting cute with her not long ago, had suddenly become a cold and indifferent person.
Song Lian'er was not surprised. When Qiao Yunni hugged the two siblings earlier, she had already sensed Song Rui'er's resistance and impatience.
She wasn't surprised; in times like these, it's usually the daughters who can empathize with their mothers' situation.
But she wouldn't give him any chance with something like this.
“Rui’er.” Qiao Yunni’s lips trembled slightly: “Your sister isn’t being unreasonable, she just feels sorry for your mother. You should stay in the Song family and live with your parents. Your mother will pray for you while she’s away.”
Even though Song Ruier hurt her heart, he was still the child she had carried for ten months and painstakingly gave birth to, and the child she had raised with great care. At the moment of parting, she felt only reluctance and fear that he would not be well in the future.
Moreover, it is indeed safer for Song Ruier to stay in the Song family than for Song Lian'er, because the second branch of the family really needs a son.
Old Mrs. Song pondered what Song Ruier had said. It was a gamble, but she felt there was still a good chance of success.
People are just like that, they're easily hurt. If they suffer, won't that brat come running back crying and begging her for forgiveness?
Song Laoda stroked his chin, and Shen Shi whispered something in his ear. The two of them sometimes frowned and sometimes nodded.
Song Ruier noticed that Song Lao Er and Chen Shi were looking at him with a hint of wariness and suspicion.
It must have been his older sister who said she wanted to go with their mother, and he expressed his support, so his second uncle and aunt thought he had the same idea.
I'm afraid that if I raise him, he'll end up being an ungrateful wretch.
He pursed his lips: "Mrs. Qiao, this is where you are wrong. No matter the reason, stealing is wrong. The Song family has already shown mercy by not throwing you into a pig cage. My sister still wants to go with you because you have not taught her well. Once she suffers outside, she will realize her mistake and return to the right path. You will have no chance to correct your ways. I don't need you to pray for me. You are no longer my mother. I have my own parents now."
