Chapter 32 I'm sorry, Second Sister-in-law
"Hey! Who's here? Who are you looking for? You're not welcome here. Go back to where you came from!"
Old Mrs. Yang, leaning on her wooden cane, coldly urged them away.
Actually, she couldn't see clearly from a distance, but she recognized who it was when she looked up.
It turns out it was that ungrateful second son, the one who forgot his mother after getting married!
Liu Shiping got out of the car, carrying his things, and stepped forward, saying, "Mom, it's me, Shiping. Fengxiu and I have come to see you. Is Xiangqian home?"
Old Mrs. Yang coughed up years-old phlegm and roared, "They're not here! None of them are here! Get out of here!"
Liu Shiping had no choice but to look at Zhao Fengxiu with a helpless expression, his eyes seeming to say, "See, you shouldn't have come!"
Zhao Fengxiu glared at Old Lady Yang and said, "She's not dead yet! She can still talk, so why is she talking nonsense?"
Zhao Fengxiu's words were astonishing, shocking Old Lady Yang and startling Liu Shiping!
Liu Shiping quickly pulled her aside, "What did you say!"
Zhao Fengxiu said discontentedly, "You're not deaf, why do I have to repeat myself? Did I say something wrong? We finally made this trip, and she's here to chase us away. She's really afraid of her children getting along!"
Fortunately, Liu Shiping broke off the relationship early, otherwise Zhao Fengxiu would not have been able to serve this old man well!
Old Mrs. Yang was so angry that she was incoherent. "You! How could you curse me to die? Liu Shiping, look at the piece of trash you married! What a disgrace to our family! What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
I don't need you to come see me! I certainly don't need you to be filial! I'll just consider myself an ungrateful child!
Liu Shiping was speechless. Just as he was about to pull Zhao Fengxiu away, Zhao Fengxiu said again, "You don't need us to be filial, so why do you accept the things Jianguo sends you every time? Don't you feel at ease accepting them every time? You're really getting smarter as you get older, and you're not senile at all."
To be honest, don't overthink it. We're not here to see you, we're here to see Liu Xiangqian. These are some things he asked Sun Afang to deliver yesterday, and we're just giving them to him in return.
Old Mrs. Yang said, "No, I don't want it! My third son doesn't care! Just consider it dog food!"
"Yes! For so many years, we've been bringing food to feed that old dog, an old dog that bites anyone it sees!"
Zhao Fengxiu and Old Lady Yang were exchanging insults in front of the door. After a while, Old Lady Yang was defeated and panting heavily, which frightened Liu Shiping so much that he had to beg Zhao Fengxiu to stop.
After all, I was really afraid that my mother wouldn't be able to catch her breath, and it would be terrible if she really passed away.
Seeing that she couldn't out-argue Zhao Fengxiu, Old Lady Yang glared at Liu Shiping, "You unfilial son! What are you doing here? Are you afraid I won't die? You even brought this thing to annoy me!"
I'm telling you! I won't die! I'll make you furious!
Zhao Fengxiu retorted, "So you've become a wretched old hag! You're just a scourge who absorbs the life force of your children. No wonder I haven't been feeling well lately, it turns out it's because of you! You old hag!"
"I'm afraid if you live a few more years, your third son's children will also be dead!"
Zhao Fengxiu said she could, but when she mentioned the third son's family, Old Lady Yang couldn't catch her breath and her eyes widened!
Startled, Liu Shiping rushed forward to help her catch her breath and reassure her, "Mom! Are you alright?"
Old Mrs. Yang was stuck, unable to go up or down. When she saw her annoying second son in front of her, she picked up her wooden cane and hit him!
Liu Shiping was hit and got up, looking confused.
Zhao Fengxiu stood to the side with her arms crossed, saying, "She really is an old hag, still alive after all this! Looks like your good fortune is yet to come!"
After catching her breath, Old Lady Yang glared at Zhao Fengxiu and said, "You!..."
The commotion at the door attracted the attention of the people inside.
Liu Xiangqian's eldest son, Liu Zhendong, came out and asked in surprise, "What's this?"
...
Liu Zhendong ushered Liu Shiping and his wife into the house and emptied the water pipe for them. "Uncle, Aunt, I've heard my parents mention you before, and I knew you when I passed by your shop. I never expected you to come to our house!"
Did you accept the things my mom brought you yesterday? I'm glad you like them; there's no need to be so polite by sending gifts.
My dad and the others will be back soon. Grandma, why are you giving me that look?
Grandma Yang watched as her grandson Liu Zhendong led the people into the house, and she didn't say anything, only staring at them intently.
Liu Shiping had only exchanged pleasantries with his nephew Liu Zhendong for a short while when Liu Xiangqian and the others returned.
Hearing the lively commotion inside, Liu Xiangqian chuckled and asked, "What guests have come to our house? Why is it so lively? Zhendong, have you treated them well?"
Upon entering the room, Liu Xiangqian was shocked, and Sun Afang was stunned.
Ignoring his parents' expressions, Liu Zhendong introduced his younger siblings, "Zhenyu, Zhenyan, this is your uncle and aunt."
Even Liu Zhendong's wife and son were there, and they were introduced one after another.
After a moment of awkward silence, Liu Shiping broke the ice and stepped forward to catch up with his third brother, whom he hadn't spoken to in thirty years.
The two brothers were in tears, feeling extremely sad and heartbroken.
Liu Xiangqian almost knelt down and kowtowed, "Second brother! I'm so sorry! I'm so grateful that you came. Thank you, second sister-in-law, for forgiving me for my recklessness and mischief back then."
I know I can't make up for it, so all I can do is send you gifts over the years, which you always refused. But yesterday you accepted the gift from Zhenyu's family, and I knew then that you might have come to terms with it.
"I never expected you'd come in person today. We haven't stocked up on oil and salt, and we're missing some things, and even some alcohol... Ah Fang, go out and buy some alcohol! I want to have a good drink with my second brother!"
Liu Xiangqian kept talking, but Zhao Fengxiu's words dampened his enthusiasm.
"Don't be too happy yet, I never said I would forgive you. I just came to check on you!"
Liu Xiangqian was speechless, looking blankly at his second brother. Liu Shiping also shook his head, unsure of what to say, leaving it all to Zhao Fengxiu's discretion.
Liu Xiangqian had no choice but to kowtow to Zhao Fengxiu, "Second sister-in-law, I'm so sorry! It was my fault back then! Please forgive me! It's already very kind of you to come to me on your own initiative! All the blame lies with me!"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Why are you kowtowing? Why didn't you kowtow back then? You're just being wise after the event. I've accepted the things, but this isn't over yet! Those are my mother's keepsakes, and they were also my dowry and wedding dress!"
This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable!
Liu Xiangqian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Second sister-in-law is right, it's unforgivable. It's all my fault for being so foolish back then, I went too far and almost made you lose your life in the fire. Fortunately, only your wedding dress was burned."
It's understandable that you don't forgive me; I have nothing to say. I'm just very happy you came today. Since you're here, please sit down and have a meal! That will be my way of showing my gratitude.
Liu Xiangqian sighed and told his children to get busy, but was scolded by Old Lady Yang, "What are you doing? Since they won't forgive us, just kick them out! Never see them again for the rest of our lives! What's the point of forgiveness?"
It's just a wedding dress! Everyone's fine, yet you've been making a fuss for so many years! You even made your second son sever ties with you! Your own brother can't compare to your wife! What a heartless woman!
What's the point of associating with someone like that? Just pretend they never existed! Get out of here!
