Chapter 183 So you came back to settle accounts with me?
Zhou Ling shook her head with tears in her eyes. She was not stupid and she understood the consequences of telling the truth.
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Cui Shufen hit Zhou Ling hard with a feather duster.
With a creaking sound——
The door of Zhou's house was opened. Cui Shufen turned her head to look, and she froze in place for a moment.
Zhou Yong walked into the room with an indifferent look on his face. Cui Shufen was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.
"How impressive! You can hear the noise in the house right at the door. You really don't mind being ashamed."
Cui Shufen put down the feather duster awkwardly. Zhou Yong's eyes inadvertently swept across the back of Zhou Ling's hand, and just one glance made him very angry.
"Are you trying to kill Zhou Ling?"
Cui Shufen hurriedly shook her head. Zhou Ling was her biological daughter, so how could she beat her to death? It was just that she was angry and hit him a little too hard.
After listening to Cui Shufen's specious words, Zhou Yong looked at Zhou Jiefang, who was living a very miserable life, without any emotion.
"Zhou Yong, please sit down."
Cui Shufen carefully put on a flattering smile.
Zhou Yong did not sit down. He said, "Let's cut to the chase. I came here for one thing. I want to ask you, after selling your son once, do you want to sell your daughter for fame?"
Cui Shufen frowned, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace: "What do you mean by selling your son once? What do you mean by selling your daughter for fame? I swear to God, everything I did was for the good of you and your sister..."
For their own good?
Zhou Yong smiled and waited for Cui Shufen to finish her words: "You are doing this for our own good? How can you say that? You sold me out for Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang's marriages, and now you want to use Zhou Ling to exchange jobs for them. Is this what you call doing this for our own good..."
He could understand that his parents were partial, but he couldn't understand how they were partial to each other.
All the benefits fell on Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang. Could it be that their existence is just to pave the way for these two brothers?
Cui Shufen burst into tears when faced with Zhou Yong's condemnation.
She choked up and said, "Zhou Yong, you are an ungrateful person. The reason why I let you marry into the Li family was entirely for the sake of you brothers. Do you want to see you brothers remain single?
If it weren't for my decision, would you be where you are today? All the good things that happened to you were given by me, but you don’t know how to be grateful, and you keep blaming me and hating me…”
It is said that being poor is a tragedy. Zhou Yong did not understand the meaning of this sentence before, but Cui Shufen’s heartfelt words made him fully understand the meaning of this sentence.
In Cui Shufen's worldview, she sold her children for their own good and for the good of the family. She was not wrong, but the child was wrong because he did not understand her good intentions.
Zhou Yong felt that there was no greater irony in life than this. Cui Shufen had clearly made a mistake, but she blamed all the mistakes on her children.
What did the child do wrong?
The only thing the Zhou family children did wrong was that they were born in the wrong family. If they were not Cui Shufen's children, their fate would not have been like this.
Zhou Yong laughed, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, which made Cui Shufen and Zhou Jiefang feel uneasy.
"What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Yong restrained his smile and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes: "You are extremely wrong, and even more wrong. You always want others to understand your good intentions, but have you ever thought about why no one understands you?
You are so good to Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang, why don’t they come home more often now? Have you ever thought about the reasons for these things?"
Cui Shufen gave birth to six children, but currently only Zhou Ling and Zhou Tao are with them. As for Zhou Yong and his four siblings, they either never go home or they just don't want to go home.
Because Cui Shufen is too strong, both her son and daughter-in-law want to control them one by one. How many people can tolerate this?
As Zhou Yong spoke, Cui Shufen's face gradually turned pale, and she even seemed to be unable to stand steadily.
Zhou Yong continued, "Don't use your false kindness to satisfy your vanity. You let me marry into the Li family for my own good, right? You wanted me to marry Li Caiyun so that the Li family could be your backer. But man proposes, God disposes. I didn't make you happy..."
If Cui Shufen had resolved the grudge between Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun after they got married, would the Zhou family be in its current situation?
The answer is definitely no.
For Zhou Yong's sake, Li Baotian would arrange two jobs for Zhou's family in the brigade.
Unfortunately, Cui Shufen did not understand Zhou Yong's temperament and abruptly severed their mother-son relationship.
Cui Shufen's body trembled slightly, and she shook her head slightly: "No, it's not what you said."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that what I said? Then why did you go to the Li family to borrow money so frequently after I got married?"
Cui Shufen argued confidently: "I don't have any other options, do I?"
no way?
Zhou Yong said sharply: "I married Li Caiyun so you can't do anything? Then let me ask you, before I married into the Li family, where did you get all your solutions?"
Cui Shufen was speechless. She opened her mouth and found that no matter what she said, her words seemed so pale and powerless.
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "So don't always say things like this is for your own good. Don't you feel disgusted when you say this too many times?"
Cui Shufen could no longer stand and was about to fall down. She grabbed a box and stood firm.
"So you came back to settle accounts with me?"
Zhou Yong took a deep breath and said, "You are already old. Don't do things that your children hate. Do some good deeds for yourself so that you won't have no one to see you off when you die..."
Cui Shufen was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at Zhou Yong with trembling hands. No one knew what she wanted to say, and she couldn't utter a word.
"Zhou Yong, that's enough. I'm your mother after all. Why are you talking to me like this?"
Zhou Yong, however, looked nonchalant: "Since I married into the Li family, I have no relatives in this world."
Cui Shufen's face turned pale again, and Zhou Yong said again: "Now that you have said that, cherish your current life."
As he finished speaking, he was about to leave. Cui Shufen stepped forward and said, "Stop right there."
Zhou Yong looked at Cui Shufen: "Do you have anything else to teach me?"
When Cui Shufen faced her own biological son, she felt sad.
"Zhou Yong, do you hate me so much?"
Zhou Yong looked at his mother quietly: "I don't hate you anymore, because you don't deserve it."
After leaving these words, he turned and left. Cui Shufen's eyes went dark and she shrank to the ground.
Zhou Ling rushed to Cui Shufen and asked, "Mom? What's wrong with you?"
Cui Shufen cried and said, "What sin have I committed? How could I give birth to such an unfilial son?"
Is Zhou Yong unfilial?
Everything has a traceable cause. Cui Shufen took things too far and tried to force her son to be filial. How many people can do that?
Zhou Ling was about to speak but stopped herself. She helped her mother up and said, "Mom, it's not that my eldest brother is unfilial. It was written very clearly in the marriage contract that my eldest brother would marry into the Li family and would have no relationship with the Zhou family from now on..."
Cui Shufen still keeps Zhou Yong's marriage certificate with the Li family. It clearly states that Zhou Yong has no further connection with the Zhou family.
Zhou Ling's words made Cui Shufen burst into tears: "Didn't I have no choice at that time?"
She couldn’t do anything about Zhou Yong’s problem, but what about Zhou Xia’s problem?
