Bai Dalin couldn't stand seeing Chen Qiuling cry. When he saw her cry, he wanted to reach out and wipe her tears, but then he remembered his mother and Bai Nuo, the simpleton, so he held back and asked in a low voice with heartache, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Chen Qiuling was already quite old; most women her age were already grandmothers, but Chen Qiuling unexpectedly gave birth to a child at this time.
Chen Qiuling didn't know what an advanced maternal age was, but ever since she found out she was pregnant and then had a miscarriage, her health had been poor. Although she didn't faint all the time, she would feel dizzy from time to time and had to rest and lie down. Her small face was pale and bloodless. She almost fainted when she cried, but she endured it for the sake of her son.
Chen Qiuling was sobbing, and Xiao Bai looked pale. Bai Dalin felt extremely distressed when he saw this.
Grandma and Bai Nuo looked at her blankly, wondering why Chen Qiuling was crying. Grandma was hesitant to speak, while Bai Nuo thought that this Ms. Chen was just too delicate and would cry at the drop of a hat, even more so than Lin Daiyu. In the time Bai Nuo had spent in this family, she had lost count of how many times she had seen Chen Qiuling cry.
"Zhi'er... he's injured again..." Chen Qiuling cried even louder as she spoke. She was truly heartbroken. Although she was pregnant again, it didn't mean she didn't feel sorry for Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi's back injury hadn't healed yet, and he had been unconscious for several days. He had just woken up when he was injured again and fainted again. Chen Qiuling was heartbroken by all the injuries he had suffered.
"How did you get hurt?" Bai Dalin didn't want to ask about Chen Zhi's affairs, but because of Chen Qiuling, he had to pretend to be concerned and ask.
With tears in her eyes, Chen Qiuling shook her head and choked out, "I don't know. You have to ask Bai Nuo about this. When Zhi'er came home, he was covered in blood and had a bruised face. Before he fainted, he said that Bai Nuo hit him. Bai Nuo, I want to ask you, what is wrong with your brother and me? Why do you have such a deep prejudice against us? Even if you are dissatisfied with us, don't hit your brother. Your brother is still a patient!"
Not content with just saying that, Chen Qiuling, her eyes brimming with tears, turned to Bai Dalin and said, "Brother Dalin, I truly love you, but... but the children can't accept me. I can't grow old with you. I'll leave after today."
In an instant, the room was filled with Chen Qiuling's sobs.
Bai Nuo quietly rolled her eyes. This Chen Qiuling is really something. She cries at the drop of a hat and talks about divorce all the time, but she never leaves. In the end, she's just trying to scare Bai Dalin, that paper tiger!
However, it seems like she'll be at a disadvantage if she says that!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Dalin couldn't hold back any longer. He put his hand on Chen Qiuling's head and patted it. "We're husband and wife, we even have a child. We're about to become parents. Don't you want me anymore?"
Bai Nuo immediately turned her head away.
"Waaaaah..." Chen Qiuling sobbed, burying her face in her hands and throwing herself into Bai Dalin's knees, crying loudly and helplessly, which broke Bai Dalin's heart.
"Bang!" Bai Dalin slammed his hand on the table in a fit of rage, shaking the dishes on the table. Seeing this, the old woman was afraid that Bai Dalin would do something to Bai Nuo, so she quickly said, "Dalin, this must be a misunderstanding. Nuo Nuo is timid and wouldn't hit anyone."
"Does Mother mean Qiuling is lying?" Bai Dalin was furious and looked at his mother with dissatisfaction. In Bai Dalin's mind, his wife was more important than his mother, and his mother's words made Bai Dalin very unhappy.
It seems that Qiu Ling has really been wronged here. Not only does Bai Nuo give her a hard time, but his mother is also not very nice to his wife. He was always half-believing, but he only realized it was true after seeing it today.
"No..." the old woman said anxiously, "Bai Nuo is a child I raised myself. I know her better than anyone. Chen Zhi is so old and a man. How could Bai Nuo possibly beat him?"
Bai Nuo was deeply moved and felt comforted. Although the old lady had been a bit unreliable a few days ago, she still cared about her.
"I raised her with one hand and raised her with the other..." Chen Qiuling didn't argue, she just kept crying. Bai Dalin could feel that Chen Qiuling's tears were about to soak his pants. "So what if I raised her with one hand? Hasn't she done enough stupid things over the years? Bai Nuo!"
Towards the end, Bai Dalin practically roared, "What's wrong with you? Why did you hit someone? That's your brother! Do you know you could kill someone? Kneel down!"
Bai Nuo felt sorry for herself. Other people's fathers were loving, and their love for their children was as deep and moving as a mountain. But when it came to her, she only felt that Bai Dalin was a mountain, completely devoid of love.
Sometimes she really wanted to open Bai Dalin's head and take a look. You say she and A Yu are Bai Dalin's biological children, even if he doesn't love them, he shouldn't abuse them in every way for Chen Zhi's sake. If Chen Zhi were a few years old, it would be one thing, but Chen Zhi is already a teenager, about to become an adult, and has his own sense of right and wrong. He can't be tamed at all. Does Bai Dalin really expect Chen Zhi to take care of him in his old age?
But Chen Zhi doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be filial to Bai Dalin.
The more Bai Nuo thought about it, the less she understood what Bai Dalin was doing it for.
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?" Bai Dalin became even angrier when he saw that Bai Nuo's eyes were blank and he didn't know what she was thinking. He slammed his hand on the table and roared.
Bai Nuo, with her neck stiff, replied, "I heard you, Dad."
Bai Dalin was furious at Bai Nuo's words and wanted to yell at her again, but before he could speak, Bai Nuo said, "Father, do you know why I hit Chen Zhi? Because Chen Zhi wanted to do to me what Father and Mother did. It was like that last time, and it's like that again this time. As a woman, shouldn't I protect myself and resist Chen Zhi's actions? Father, even if you don't love me, you shouldn't treat me like this. If you think Chen Zhi can do whatever he wants to me, then I have nothing to say. But Father, you gave birth to me, so you should treat me well. Otherwise, you shouldn't have brought me into this world. If Chen Zhi can do whatever he wants to me and I can't resist, then what's the point of my life? I might as well be dead."
Bai Nuo spoke in one breath, looking both sad and angry, then snorted heavily and ran away, leaving Bai Dalin and the other two in the room dumbfounded. Chen Qiuling even forgot to cry.
Ha, anyone can complain. Who isn't pitiful? Making her suffer is up to her, but we'll see if she's willing to accept it.
