Song Xia scared Qin Yuping for a bit, then went back to cook for Xia Ru without delaying at all.
But while she felt better, Qin Yuping was far from at peace, and angrily went to find her mother.
"Why are you here?" Sun Xiurong looked at her daughter suspiciously, thinking that Qin Yuping had not given up on her idea of swindling her money, so she was particularly wary.
Qin Yuping was furious. This was her mother. She valued money more than anything else. Even though she bought this and that all the time, her only concern was her son and grandson. Before, at least Song Xia could bear everything, but now that Song Xia had left, she felt like an outsider in the family.
"Why am I here? Did you go and cause trouble for Song Xia's biological mother?"
How did you know?
"You still ask me how I know? Do you know that Song Xia made a scene at my workplace today because of this? She told my boss that I was the one who persuaded you to come to work. My boss even gave me an order: if I don't handle Song Xia's matter properly, I shouldn't come to work. Do you know how many people watched me and laughed at me today?"
"What?!" Sun Xiurong jumped up, her face full of anger. "She actually dared to cause trouble for you?"
Qin Yuping sneered: "You dare to make trouble for her mother, why doesn't she dare to make trouble for me? Not only did she make trouble for me, she also went to Junjie and Jiawei's school. If I hadn't stopped her, do you know what the consequences would have been?"
"She went to Jiawei's school?" Because of her previous habits, Sun Xiurong was more angry than afraid of Song Xia's actions. "I'm going to settle accounts with her right now."
"How are you going to settle accounts with her?" Qin Yuping felt more heartbroken than anything else. When her mother heard the news, she was only worried about her nephew Jiawei, but didn't even ask about her son Junjie. Is there such a big difference between a biological grandson and a grandson from another family?
“She’s got nothing to lose now, she’s not afraid of us who are wearing shoes. You made her mother so angry that she was hospitalized, and now she’s going to make our lives miserable. If you go to her again, do you not want the two children to get along?” Qin Yuping, who had experienced what happened during the day, was far more frightened than her mother. She almost roared these words.
She couldn't gamble. She only had this one son, and she had devoted herself to raising him for so many years. Her son was far more outstanding than Qin Jiawei. Besides, her mother wasn't planning to give her all the money she had. Why should she be threatened by Song Xia, or even subjected to revenge?
"Why are you yelling at me? Does that little bitch Song Xia dare to turn the tables? What kind of widow dares to be so arrogant? If we don't teach her a lesson, she won't know what manners are!"
"Rules? Who do you think you are to talk about rules with people?" Qin Yuping couldn't help but sneer. "The feudal dynasties are all gone. Can you stop embarrassing yourself with these old-fashioned ideas? Do you know why all the neighbors are siding with Song Xia? It's because you're still living in the past. Why should she be bossed around by you for the rest of her life?"
Sun Xiurong was furious at her daughter's words: "How dare you talk to me like that? Aren't you the same? Have you ever given that little bitch a kind look? When I was ordering her around, why didn't you stand up for me? Now you're trying to lecture your mother? Do you even have the right to do so?"
"Yes, I'm not qualified to lecture you, but I'll only ever take advantage of small things. I can't risk my job and Junjie for such a small gain." Qin Yuping didn't mince words at this point, and sneered, "Mom, if Song Xia ever lays a hand on Qin Jiawei, don't come looking for me. I won't care about your family matters anymore."
"I'm your mother, how can you talk to your mother like that?"
“I care about you, but when have you ever cared about me? Mom, don’t blame me for being heartless, I can’t help but think about Junjie. If you really care about Jiawei’s safety, then please behave yourself. Song Xia doesn’t owe you anything.”
“She doesn’t owe me anything? She married Zhenwu, so she has to take care of me and Jiawei. That’s what she promised.” Sun Xiurong was particularly self-righteous and remained stubborn even now.
Qin Yuping felt extremely tired and suddenly felt a little fortunate that this was her mother, not her mother-in-law, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to persevere for so long like Song Xia.
"When she first came into the family, you promised to treat her well. Did you treat her well? Mom, don't you understand? Song Xia is not the same Song Xia as before. She has long since woken up and will no longer listen to your lies. She was willing to make sacrifices before because Zhenwu was there. Now that Zhenwu is gone, why should she still be so obedient? Haven't you realized this after these recent events? She won't suffer the same losses as before."
"My son is dead, and she dares to disobey me? Isn't she afraid that Zhenwu will become a ghost and haunt her?"
Qin Yuping laughed angrily: "You've done so many bad things in your life, have you ever met a ghost? Mom, I won't say any more to you. Anyway, if you dare to cause trouble for Song Xia again and bring danger to me and Junjie, don't blame your daughter for being ruthless."
Sun Xiurong's eyes widened: "What are you saying? How are you going to be so heartless? I'm your mother!"
“Even if you’re my mother, I still have to sever ties with you. If Xie Liying tries to take custody of Jiawei again, don’t come looking for me. I won’t get involved in Jiawei’s school matters anymore. You’ll have to pay your own water and electricity bills for this house. If you get sick and need to be hospitalized, you’ll have to find your own caregiver.”
"You're threatening me? Qin Yuping, I'm your mother! Without me, where would you be? You dare to ignore me? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Qin Yuping was truly terrified by Song Xia's actions today. Just thinking about the strange looks from her superiors and colleagues made her feel terrible. If something happened to her son, what would be the point of her living? Song Xia's life was worthless, but she couldn't lose her job, and her son Junjie couldn't afford any accidents!
"As long as Junjie is alright, I'd be willing to be struck by lightning right now. Mom, you value Jiawei the most right now, but I can't lose Junjie."
Sun Xiurong was furious: "Is your mother not the most important person in your heart? Do you have any conscience?"
Qin Yuping glared back at him coldly: "Am I the most important person in your heart? From childhood to adulthood, when have I ever been better than Qin Zhenwu? Even after Qin Zhenwu died, I still can't compare to his son, Qin Jiawei. Mom, you value your son, but I can't value mine?"
"Your brother Zhenwu died because of you!"
"Oh, so now you're saying it's because of my death? Didn't you say it was because of Song Xia?" Although Qin Yuping was heartbroken over her brother's passing, she also harbored resentment towards her mother's favoritism over the years. "Mom, I admit that Zhenwu had an accident because he was delivering things to me, but I didn't call to ask for those things that day. You told me not to let Song Xia get them, so you had to deliver them to me. Don't use that to threaten me. You care about your son the most, and I care about mine the most too!"
Sun Xiurong opened her mouth, looking at her daughter's indifferent eyes, as if she had suddenly lost her spirit. At this moment, Qin Yuping's heart clenched. However, thinking of Song Xia's terrible behavior and vicious tone today, she knew that if she didn't speak harshly, her mother wouldn't listen to a word.
