Qu Feng's eyebrows twitched, and he completely lost his patience. "Mom, shut up!"
Tian Lan plopped down on the ground, slapping her thigh wildly. "I'm going to die! My son dares to yell at his mother! I raised you from infancy, and now you think you're all grown up? You dare to yell at me today, and tomorrow you'll dare to kick me out..."
“Old man, you left too soon, leaving me all alone in this world. My son doesn’t even acknowledge me. What’s the point of my life? I might as well just kill myself.”
As she spoke, she slowly made her way to the pillar next to her.
Qu Feng quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, "Mom, stop making a fuss."
Tian Lan cried and screamed, "Since you don't acknowledge me as your mother anyway, just let me die, let me die..."
Qu Feng took a deep breath, about to speak and offer advice.
Lin Xi said coldly, "Let her crash into me. If she dies, it's my responsibility. I'll personally send her to hell to report to Yama, the King of Hell."
The elderly folks chimed in, "Young man, listen to the master, let go quickly. It'll be the end of the world once this old woman is dead. Live your life well from now on, so you won't be dragged down by her."
"Exactly, what a fine young man, to have such an unreasonable mother."
“Young man, it’s alright. She’s dead. If you call me ‘Mom,’ I’ll take you as my godson. I won’t take a penny from you, and I can even help you find a wife.”
Qu Feng stood frozen in place.
Tian Lan ran to the pillar, now she didn't know whether to bump into it or not.
No one pulled her back; the performance couldn't continue.
In the past, when she cried out that she wanted to die and shed a few tears, her son would always stop her and give her money.
Over the years, Tian Lan has long since figured out her son's personality.
She is easily influenced, kind-hearted, and filial; if she makes a fuss, her son dares not disobey.
Qu Feng rebelled for the first time and didn't listen to her. It was all the fault of these old men and women.
The most hateful thing was this woman. Tian Lan's eyes were filled with resentment as she turned around and glared at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi glared back expressionlessly, "What are you looking at? Go ahead and crash into me if you dare!"
The elderly men and women didn't hold back in mocking them.
“We’ve seen plenty of crazy women like you. You rely on your son’s obedience and keep causing trouble. Sooner or later, you’ll ruin your son.”
Tian Lan spat and stomped on the ground a few times. "Pah! It's none of your business what I do with my own son! If he dares to disown me, I'll sue him!"
"Go ahead and sue. Anyway, they'll give you seven or eight hundred a month, enough to keep you from starving. Your son can easily change jobs, preferably abroad..."
"Aaaaaah!!"
Tian Lan went completely mad when she heard the word "overseas." She rushed in front of Qu Feng, shouting, "No! You're not allowed to go abroad!!"
Qu Feng sighed, "Mom, please stop making a scene, I'm begging you."
Tian Lan gripped his hand tightly, "Swear you won't go abroad, swear it now!"
Qu Feng hesitated, "Mom, can't you see how much I've sacrificed for this family? You don't believe me at all!"
As he spoke, his eyes reddened, and he roared out all the grievances he had held in his heart over the years.
"I really regret giving up the opportunity to pursue a master's degree..."
Qu Feng is the second child in his family, with an older brother and a younger brother.
Dad favors his older brother, and Mom dotes on his younger brother. He's caught in the middle and feels incredibly awkward, like he's invisible.
My brother went abroad to study at university and settled in the United States. He hasn't come back for seven or eight years.
My mother often said, "I raised this son for nothing. I raised him for decades, and in the end, he's gone, and all the money is gone too."
Therefore, the mother did not want her children to have good grades; she only wanted to keep her two sons by her side.
After Qu Feng finished university, his mother refused to let him pursue a master's degree, fearing that he would go abroad and never come back like his brother.
Qu Feng had no choice but to find a job at a large factory, where he worked overtime until 3 a.m. every day to earn money to support his family.
My younger brother injured a classmate in junior high school and was expelled by his teacher. He has been staying at home playing video games and sponging off his parents ever since.
The parents also stayed at home, ostensibly to take care of the younger brother.
The whole family depends on him. Qu Feng is now thirty-one years old. His health has deteriorated, he is balding, and he has broken up with his girlfriend.
He tolerated all of this, but his mother became obsessed with the Buddhist ceremony, secretly taking 200,000 yuan to pay the membership fee, and even using 300,000 yuan to buy three pills...
This money was all earned by him, penny by penny, the result of countless sleepless nights of hard work.
Qu Feng couldn't bear it any longer; he regretted it.
If I had chosen to pursue a master's degree abroad like my brother, my life wouldn't be so terrible.
After hearing this, everyone sighed, "Among three children in a family, the second one is the easiest to be neglected. Even when they grow up, they will still be exploited by their parents. Sigh."
In front of so many people, Tian Lan felt a little guilty. She said weakly, "No matter what, I gave birth to you. If I hadn't been here, you wouldn't exist. I will always be your mother."
Qu Feng clenched his fists. "I'd rather not have been born from your belly. If you're so capable, try putting me back in."
"you!"
Tian Lan couldn't believe her usually obedient son was saying such a thing. "Qu Feng, you've changed."
"I should have changed a long time ago." Qu Feng finally realized this and forcefully pulled Tian Lan forward. "After this matter is resolved, we'll go our separate ways."
He's 31 now; it's time for him to live for himself.
Tian Lan moved her lips, but dared not speak again.
Her eldest son went abroad and disappeared, her youngest son is a good-for-nothing, and her second son doesn't care about her. How will she live in the future?
This time, I really did it.
Qu Feng finally stood up for himself and found a way to deal with his mother; he had been too weak before.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Master, my mother spent 300,000 yuan to buy three pills, but I always feel that there is something wrong with these pills."
"Although my mom used to be unreasonable, she was quite stingy and would never spend so much money at once. She would also occasionally act coy."
"There's something wrong with this Master Shikong."
Tian Lan's expression changed again. She raised her pinky finger and said, "You can say whatever you want, but you can't say anything about Master Shikong."
Qu Feng was speechless. He took out a black box and said, "My mother ate two of them, and I hid one. Please take a look, Master."
Tian Lan's eyes lit up as she gripped the box tightly. "No, this is mine! I can't give it to anyone else! It's mine!!"
Lin Xi grabbed her hands and snatched the box away.
Inside was a dark, round ball, about the size of a longan, that smelled of sour, odorous feet.
Did they stomp on these meatballs?
