When Grandma Qiao thought of all the times she used to call her "Grandma," her heart softened.
Thinking of the humiliation her daughter had suffered, she kicked Song Ruier away without any mercy.
She couldn't be soft-hearted; she couldn't let this ungrateful wretch betray the suffering her daughter had endured.
Now, when I hear my grandmother calling me, it just sounds grating and unpleasant.
Then Mrs. Joe walked briskly toward the kitchen.
She scooped a bowl of rice into a half-sized, broken bowl, added some vegetables, and then carried the bowl out.
He placed the bowl in front of Song Ruier and said, "Eat up. Consider this a favor from the Qiao family. Don't come back after this meal. You have your own home."
When Song Ruier saw the rice bowl, he was stunned. It was all plain rice and vegetables, with no meat at all. How was he supposed to eat it?
She couldn't help but make a face and say, "Grandma, there's not enough to eat."
"How can it not be enough? There's enough for two bowls of rice in here." Boss Qiao pointed at the bowl and asked back. He was so hungry, yet this kid was still being picky.
Perhaps they want to open a door here at the beginning so they can come back later to beg for food.
Once something happens the first time, it will happen again.
Madam Feng coldly replied, "Eat up. If you're still hungry, we'll give you more rice. If you choke, we'll give you water."
Everyone guessed what Song Ruier was thinking. A truly hungry person wouldn't be so picky; once they got the food, they couldn't wait to start eating.
Of course, Song Ruier was genuinely hungry, but he had other ideas.
They want to use the Qiao family's kindness as a pledge of allegiance to the Song family.
Disgust rose on everyone's faces.
This kid hasn't inherited even a fraction of the Qiao family's character.
Song Ruier never expected the Qiao family to be so heartless, not even giving him a piece of meat, and not letting him get any oil on his rice.
He looked longingly at Qiao Yunni, only to find that she kept her face turned to the side and wouldn't even glance at him.
"Mother, Rui'er wants to eat meat. Rui'er hasn't eaten meat in a long time." He finally spoke up.
When they were still living in the Song family, Qiao Yunni would always give the meat she had worked so hard to get to her meals, and she would never eat it herself, but instead give it to her and her brother.
He refused to believe that, as a mother, Qiao Yunni truly had no pity for him whatsoever.
The sound of "Mother," which she hadn't heard in so long, pierced Qiao Yunni's heart.
The child she carried for ten months and nearly had a difficult delivery will only call her "Mother" when they are in dire straits.
For Song Ruier, this word "mother" was an immense luxury, even a form of charity, and a concession he had made with great difficulty.
But for her, it was so cheap and ironic.
Qiao Yunni took a slow breath: "Song Ruier, you're a man, so show the backbone you had at the beginning, instead of being so stubborn back then, wishing you could never have anything to do with me or the Qiao family again, and now you're begging me."
Even though Song Ruier no longer acknowledges him as her mother, he was still her own son, and she still hopes he will have some spirit.
Even if someone has an ungrateful nature, only by keeping their word can they be considered a real man.
But in the blink of an eye, he was kneeling before the Qiao family.
She was very disappointed, but her disappointment was different from her previous disappointment.
Song Ruier seemed to be provoked by her words, leaned against the door, and lowered her head to eat the bowl of rice.
He ate with gritted teeth, his head down, so no one could see the expression on his face.
Qiao Lian'er felt a warmth in her hand, which was being held by Qiao Yunni.
It started off very lightly, but gradually became heavier.
Through the darkness of the night, she saw Qiao Yunni's eyes, which seemed to sparkle with crystalline light.
However, Qiao Yunni's expression remained firm.
