Chapter 326: Wanting to Be a Matchmaker at the Table
Everyone at our table was startled and looked at my mother, only to see that her face was as cold as ice.
"My sister was cremated this morning, and her body is still warm and hasn't been buried yet. You're enjoying her feast and now you're introducing someone to her man. Do you think that's appropriate?"
That lady should be a relative of my uncle's family, and she seems to have a rather fierce temper.
She rolled her eyes at my mother and said, "Your sister has been ill for all these years and hasn't given Xinrong another son.
Now that she's gone, do you still want her husband to observe three years of mourning for her?"
My mother said angrily, "Why, is your relative's daughter afraid she won't get married? She can't even wait for 49 days? They're letting you have a feast and they're acting as a matchmaker for you?"
"What are you talking about? Xinrong is only in his early forties. If he works hard, he'll be able to have a son next year. I'm thinking about him. What's wrong with that?
To put it bluntly, your sister is gone, so what's the point of her still occupying this position?" The auntie argued resolutely and unyieldingly.
My mother was so angry that her face turned red. Only then did my uncle come out slowly to smooth things over.
"Aunt, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I'm really not in the mood for a blind date right now.
Shuxin is gone. I need time to calm my sorrow. I'll think about the future after I get over the pain of losing my wife. My uncle spoke slowly and in a low voice, seeming really sad.
The old lady wanted to say something else, but my uncle stopped her with a wave of his hand, "Aunt, don't try to persuade me, this matter ends here.
It would be unfair to others if I were to talk about marriage with someone else while I have someone else in my heart."
When he said this, he seemed to look at my mother inadvertently. My mother's expression showed a little strangeness, and then she drank a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.
My heart skipped a beat. My aunt was gone, and I wondered if my mother would want to rekindle her relationship with my uncle.
Looking at my father who was concentrating on eating, I smiled bitterly in my heart. Each of them has a child in their heart, and each of them has the fruit of their love. What is a legitimate child like me?
I took a few quick bites and glanced at Old Wu. He had already put down his chopsticks and started browsing his phone.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, I'm done eating. I'm going back to City A first." I wiped my mouth and stood up to leave.
"Aren't you going home?" my mother asked me somewhat dissatisfiedly, "How long are you going to be angry with me? After all, I am still your mother."
After reading my aunt's diary, I feel that I no longer have much resentment towards my mother. I just simply don't like her.
I calmly replied, "I'm not angry. I'm still in school. I took a leave of absence and am going back to school now."
"The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Take one more day off and spend the weekend at home with your mother." My mother's tone softened rarely. I wonder if she wanted to repair the relationship with me.
I deliberately asked, "Why, Deng Sisi isn't going back with you?"
Deng Sisi immediately became nervous, as if she was afraid that my mother would leave her in the county town.
"Sisi has to go to school tomorrow, so of course she'll go back with us, right?"
I said calmly, "My uncle just lost his wife. As a daughter, doesn't Deng Sisi need to take a day off to stay home with her father?"
My mother didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I didn't give her time to think. I told her seriously, "Mom, what I said last time was not an angry remark. I only want complete maternal love. If you give me any leftovers, I would rather not have it.
Unless you and dad have another child, I can accept giving him half. I won’t accept anyone else.”
Without waiting for her to find another excuse, I called Lao Wu to get in the car and left.
