Meeting the second brother's anxious eyes, Wu Xiuying felt only a sense of irony.
"Is your sister the only one at home?"
"If I don't sell your sister, you won't be able to survive? You won't be able to eat? You won't be able to drink?"
"You're a grown man and a brother, and you're so useless?"
She really didn't understand why such a strong-willed person like her could raise such spineless ungrateful kids?
Which link went wrong?
Li Ziben originally thought that Wu Xiuying would give in after losing her job, but he never expected that she would still be so stubborn in protecting Li Yuzhen?
Hearing the two people arguing, Li Yuzhen immediately walked in and pulled Li Zicheng's arm: "Second brother, talk to mom nicely."
"Shut up, shut up your crow mouth, it's all because of you!"
"Why are you pretending? What exactly is wrong with Yang Jianxing that you insist on making a fuss about? Now look, not only has the family been thrown into chaos because of you, but even Mom has lost her job. Are you satisfied now?"
Li Ziben was originally full of anger, and now he could vent it on Li Yuzhen.
Anyway, it has been like this since she was a child. This younger sister is not liked at home. She is just their servant and punching bag.
"Shut up!"
Wu Xiuying finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared out loud.
She felt embarrassed when she thought about how she had said these words to Yuzhen in her previous life.
Wu Xiuying didn't feel that way when she said these words herself, but now when she hears others say them, she feels that she was really too much back then and deserved to end up like that.
Feeling her mother's protection, Li Yuzhen felt even more uncomfortable. She really didn't want to marry a gangster, but she also didn't want to bring trouble to her family.
Li Yuzhen felt as if she had walked into a dead end.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Finally, Li Yuzhen squeezed out these words with great difficulty.
Seeing her daughter's guilty look, Wu Xiuying felt even more heartbroken. She walked forward and gently took Yuzhen's hand: "Silly child, why are you saying sorry? This is not your fault in the first place."
"Mom, are you really getting senile?"
"What's the situation at home now? You don't care about your son or grandson, but you keep dragging this worthless girl around. What do you want?"
"I don't care, Alan is already pregnant, and I just want to marry her!"
Li Zicheng became even more anxious now. He jumped up and down and started to act like a rogue in front of Wu Xiuying.
Anyway, Li Zicheng knew in his heart that he was his mother's lifeblood, so he could just make a fuss and that was it!
Seeing this, Wu Xiuying rolled her eyes and slapped Li Zicheng on the back of the head, saying angrily: "Marrying a wife is your business, raising children is also your business, don't drag others down, if you have the ability, then marry, if you don't, then just endure it, you scoundrel, you still think you are right!"
After saying this, Wu Xiuying ignored Li Zicheng's reaction and walked out with Li Yuzhen in her arms.
In fact, Wu Xiuying was still very sad. After all, she had managed the family for her whole life and loved her children all her life, but now everything was not satisfactory. Even the whole family was in a mess and there was a serious imbalance of resources. In the final analysis, this was the root cause of the evil left over from her preference for boys over girls when she was young.
Fortunately, God has given me a chance to be reborn, and everything is still in time.
Wu Xiuying would certainly compensate Li Yuzhen, but she didn't really give up her sons. She knew her own children well. They were not evil people, but were just spoiled, which led them to go astray.
It should be no problem to make amends from now on, trim the bad habits of these children, and let them become self-reliant.
Li Yuzhen's attention has always been on the two people's clasped hands. In her memory, her mother rarely held her hand like this, and the mother and daughter rarely had such a tender moment. Basically, her mother was nice to her only to make a request.
What kind of request will mom make this time?
Li Yuzhen was waiting, always waiting, but Wu Xiuying just kept walking forward without saying anything.
"Mother."
Li Yuzhen spoke weakly, paused, and just looked at Wu Xiuying eagerly.
"Mom, I know you have me in your heart and love me, and I am already very satisfied."
"I understand the situation at home. I don't want to be a burden to you. I am willing to marry Yang Jianxing."
Just these few words, like steel needles, pierced Wu Xiuying's heart.
Sure enough, a child who has never eaten sweets since childhood will be very happy with just one piece of candy.
Just a little bit of tenderness can make this child willingly give everything he has!
As a mother, Wu Xiuying felt that she was really incompetent and had let down such a good child.
"I don't want to."
"Yuzhen, your life is your own. You should learn to love yourself first before loving others."
Wu Xiuying took Yuzhen's hand and sat together under the old locust tree.
The midday sun shone through the layers of leaves and fell on the two people, making them warm and also shining into Li Yuzhen's dark and damp heart.
"Mother?"
Li Yuzhen looked at Wu Xiuying in disbelief. She was sure that her mother was not retreating in order to advance. Her mother really didn't want her to suffer any injustice.
But why?
Li Yuzhen couldn't understand why her mother had such a change?
It was obviously she who compromised and made sacrifices for this family before, and everyone thought it was their due, even herself!
"Good boy, Mom knows you are sensible, but things at home are not as bad as you think."
"Your eldest brother is an educated man and has no problem finding a job. Your second brother is also a good young man with both hands and feet. Your youngest brother is even stronger and more robust. They all have the ability and must learn to support themselves."
"As for you, you are allowed to do whatever you want. This home is also your home, and I am also your mother!"
Wu Xiuying took Li Yuzhen's hand again, broke it open and broke it into pieces to reason with her.
She knew that the lives of many women in this era were filled with dedication and sacrifice, but if she were to live her life over again, Wu Xiuying didn't want her daughter to live like this, and she didn't want her daughter to repeat the tragedy of her previous life.
"Mom, woo woo, thank you, mom."
"I will definitely study hard and repay you!"
Li Yuzhen was in tears and mustered up the courage to crawl into Wu Xiuying's arms.
In the past, only her brothers and sisters could act coquettishly with their mother, and she could only watch from the side. This time, she wanted to be willful for once!
"Good boy, mom doesn't want you to repay me. Mom wants you to fly high and run far."
"This textile factory's staff quarters is a den of tigers and wolves for you now. Go now, go to the train station, go to the provincial capital to attend high school. Actually, you have very good grades. Your teacher has been begging you to go back to school. It's my fault. I've delayed you."
