“I know, you’re thinking that since my mother died in your house, how did I know about her conversation with your grandmother and your mother?” Zhang Liu gave another self-deprecating laugh. “Of course I know. Your grandmother and your mother said it themselves; I heard it with my own ears!”
Fatty Wang frowned as he looked at Zhang Liushi.
He didn't believe what Zhang Liushi said; he didn't believe it at all.
His family members would never do such a thing in his mind.
His father was a man of his word. From the time he could remember, his father cared most not about his family, but about the people under his rule. He was absolutely capable of keeping his promises to the people.
His father was the most responsible person. If what Zhang Liushi said about what happened in the mountain village was true, then his father would definitely protect Zhang Liushi and would not avoid the situation by not coming forward.
His grandmother was the kindest old lady in the world. How could such a kind and amiable person drive someone to their death?
His mother was someone even the maids couldn't bear to punish severely; she always spoke softly and gently, and was always tolerant of women. How could she possibly drive an old woman the same age as his grandmother to her death?
He doesn't believe it!
“Last summer, your grandmother took your mother and son to the neighboring village to escape the heat, and that silly girl ran off there again. I was worried she might bump into someone, so I went to look for her. I found her and your son hiding under a window eating snacks. I was afraid of disturbing the people inside, so I planned to quietly go over and call her. But before I even got to that silly girl, I overheard your grandmother and mother talking around the corner. They mentioned Langzhou and Chenyuan County. So I stopped in my tracks.”
"Your grandmother said she didn't sleep well during her afternoon nap and dreamed about my mother. It was around that time of year when my mother came to your house. Your grandmother said she dreams about my mother every now and then over the years. She told your mother that they should have registered our household registration back then. She never imagined my mother would be so angry; she really thought my mother was using my unborn child to blackmail them. Your mother said it was her fault, not your grandmother's, that she was out of her mind and shouldn't have said those things. She shouldn't have said those insulting things about me and my mother. They even cried! Hahaha, isn't that ridiculous? Absolutely ridiculous, right? More than twenty years later, I realized that it wasn't my mother threatening suicide, but rather that she was so angered by them that she felt she had nowhere else to turn. I'm so unfilial."
“Looking at your son, so chubby and adorable, I thought to myself, if my mother hadn't died because of me when I was pregnant, if I hadn't endured such a difficult journey with my husband to Tongzhou, would my son have been born with health problems? Would he already have such a lovely, chubby grandson? I recognized your father the first day he came to Tongzhou to take office; my son was his son, but I never thought of letting him acknowledge him. I was content to live a quiet life with my son and my silly daughter. But then I learned the truth about my mother's death. Seeing your family living so well, and then looking at my son, I feel resentful and indignant. The culprit behind our miserable life is your father. If only he had killed me back then! Your grandmother and your mother, they should have just driven my mother away; why did they say those things? It's all their fault, so they deserve to die, all of them deserve to die, and you deserve to die too!”
