Seeing his wife's good intentions misunderstood by his mother, Gu Weizhou's already limited patience finally snapped.
He asked, "Mom, are you really not going to eat?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head stubbornly: "I won't eat, I won't eat, I'll starve myself to death!"
Gu Weizhou laughed angrily: "Fine, if you won't eat it, I will."
In front of his mother, Gu Weizhou took a bite of the braised pork: "Mmm! It's so delicious. It's fatty but not greasy, with just the right amount of sweetness and plenty of oil. This braised pork, stewed in a rich, dark sauce, is just so satisfying!"
The aroma of braised pork wafted over, making Gu's mother swallow hard.
Looking at Gu Weizhou, who was quickly devouring braised pork and fried green beans, she almost cried out in anger: "How can you be such a son?"
Gu Weizhou sneered, "What kind of mother are you?"
“You don’t want to accept my wife’s kindness? Fine, but don’t expect any kindness from her in the future.” Gu Weizhou’s cheeks were bulging from eating. “You don’t want to eat? Fine, I won’t bring you food anymore. You’d better watch yourself.”
After finishing the last bite of his meal, Gu Weizhou showed his mother his empty lunchbox, which infuriated her.
Mother Gu: "You...you unfilial son!"
"You've already cursed me, if I don't make this reputation real, wouldn't it be a waste of your time to curse me? Yes, then I'm unfilial!" Gu Weizhou said, then turned and left.
They happened to run into the people who came to deliver food to Gu's mother and the others.
Gu Weizhou said, "There's no need to send meals to the two of them."
Gu's mother: "......"
Le's mother complained, "Why should I eat it just because your mother doesn't?"
Gu Weizhou was infuriating: "You're the one who encouraged my mom to come here. We're supposed to share the good times and the bad. You two are in the same boat, let's all go hungry together!"
Le's mother realized that she really didn't have any dinner for herself. Even if it was just cabbage, tofu, green beans, eggplant, potatoes, leafy greens, kelp, and wakame, it wasn't very oily, but at least she could eat it and fill her stomach. Now, because of Gu's mother's fussiness, she couldn't eat anything at all.
Hungry, Le's mother grumbled, "Jinhua, you're so stupid! If you don't want to eat, you can take it and give it to me. What are you being so dramatic about? He's your son, not your enemy."
Mrs. Gu didn't want to talk. Who was she doing all this for?
"Jin Hua, you damned girl, are you dead? Why aren't you saying anything?" Mother Le said displeased.
Gu's mother pretended to be dead.
Mrs. Le continued to grumble: "You don't even know what Old Gu saw in you back then. He only liked your face. You're completely useless. I asked you to help out, and now you're just dragging me down."
"You can't even educate your children properly, your son is unfilial, and your daughter-in-law doesn't acknowledge you. You're a complete failure as a person!" Mother Le said disdainfully.
Mrs. Gu was both hungry and angry. Hearing her daughter's endless nagging, she finally couldn't hold back anymore: "How outstanding are you yourself? You can't give birth to a son, and the daughter you raised even committed arson and attempted murder. Before you talk about me, think about yourself."
Mom was heartbroken.
After a while, she said angrily, "Jin Hua, you've got some nerve!"
"Why can't I have a son? Didn't you get rid of my son?" Mother Le brought up the past: "Back then, if you hadn't harmed me, would I have lost that child?"
When Gu's mother was hit where it hurt, she was arrogant for three seconds, but immediately backed down.
Next came Le's mother's rant, blaming Gu's mother for the miscarriage and nailing her to the pillar of sinners, ensuring she could never recover.
In front of her, they were finally inferior and at the mercy of Mother Yue.
Ruan Yunxi and Gu Weizhou were unaware of the solitary confinement situation.
Gu Weizhou took the empty lunchbox back, and Ruan Yunxi was still waiting.
"You finished eating so quickly?"
Gu Weizhou explained, "I don't need to bring her food anymore. She doesn't appreciate it. I ate the food myself, right in front of her, which made her furious. You're right, I might not have a mother anymore. She probably wishes she had never given birth to me."
"It's okay, you still have me!" Ruan Yunxi hugged Gu Weizhou and joked, "If you're willing, my mom will give you half!"
"I'm half your son, I'm practically your mother's son!" As the old saying goes, a son-in-law is like half a son, a saying that everyone agrees with!
