"Heh," Mo Yan sneered, "Grandma, are you really confused, or are you pretending? I don't believe you actually believed your daughter's story."
To put it bluntly, everyone knows who else. The old lady is too smart; how could she not know that what her daughter said wasn't true?
She made such a scene just to protect her son's and daughter's reputation. She wanted people to know that her son wasn't a scumbag, but had his reasons for not coming back.
It was Mo Yan who insisted that her son go out to work, which is why he went out. In the end, he had an accident and couldn't come home for many years. Her son was the victim.
The old lady felt a little guilty, and even her eyes darted away, not daring to look Mo Yan in the eye. She looked away and continued speaking with a cold face. "What my daughter said is true. Back then, you insisted that my son earn more money, which forced him to go out and work."
"Ha... Back then, before we separated the family, you were in charge of everything. If your son really wanted to listen to me, you would have made a scene long ago, wouldn't you?"
Mo Yan is no pushover and won't cooperate with her.
“Your son went out for your family, not for me.”
The old lady never expected Mo Yan to be so disrespectful to her.
In fact, the old lady also harbored resentment.
Her daughter suddenly came back and told her about it. Her mind was in complete turmoil. Her son was fine; he had been living in the provincial capital and had even become an official.
They never thought of coming back to see them, and the family even has another home elsewhere. They don't treat them like family.
And this daughter, she clearly knows everything, but all these years, she hasn't said a single word or come back, it's like she's disappeared.
When she saw the things her daughter had brought back, she really wanted to be firm and throw them all away.
But my daughter said that her son's condition is very dangerous, and she can't let Mo Yan know. She also wants to protect his reputation as much as possible.
The old lady had no choice but to come here.
I'm angry, but my son is my own flesh and blood, and I have to take good care of him too.
“You… how could it not be for your sake? You said the two children were too much pressure, so he went out. After he went out, he got into a car accident and lost his memory, which is why he hasn’t come back for so many years.”
This was the reason they had agreed upon beforehand: having lost their memory, they would naturally not know what happened back then, and if they didn't remember, they could remarry and have children.
"Heh, lost his memory? When I met him, he didn't say that. You probably don't know, but your son has already found another woman and had an illegitimate daughter."
They live a life of luxury outside, with people picking them up and dropping them off, and having someone cook and wait on them at home. Why haven't they brought their own mother over to live with them?
When the villagers heard this, they all gasped in shock. This was just too shocking!
The old lady's son, Fang Hai, actually found another woman and had an illegitimate child outside. This is... utterly shameless! Nothing so disgusting has ever happened in their village before!
You know, there has never been such a shameless person in their village.
“You’re talking nonsense. My son has lost his memory and has no idea that there’s a home here.”
That was all the old lady could say. As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. Why did she say that? Wasn't that just giving them something to hold accountable? How stupid of her.
"Ha, anyone can say that. If they find out, they'll just say they've lost their memory. What a load of rubbish! You're here today just to help him get away with it, aren't you?"
old lady:"……"
The old lady was really annoyed; this Mo Yan was really difficult to deal with.
"What are you trying to prove by putting on this show? That Fang Hai isn't a scumbag and is trying to shirk responsibility? Bah! You might as well just say your son is a piece of trash. What's the point of all this superficial stuff?"
Your son's daughter is older than my son and daughter, and you're telling me he has amnesia? Pshaw!
Grandma, everyone used to think you were a reasonable person, but now it seems you're nothing special.
Where is your sense of reason? I don't see it at all!
The others were shocked to hear that the illegitimate daughter was older than both of their children.
“You know perfectly well that your son is shameless and has someone else outside, yet you kick us out and say that I'm the one who ruined your son.”
All these years, haven't you felt any remorse?
Mo Yan's words reminded everyone of what had happened. Back then, the old lady had said more than once that Mo Yan was the one who had harmed her son, that Mo Yan was the one who had caused her son's life to be in danger.
“I… I really didn’t know at the time. I thought it was because of you that my son left home, and that it was because of you that my son’s fate was unknown.”
She was furious. It was only after her daughter came back that she found out her son had been fine all along and had another family outside. What could she, as a mother, do? All she could do was try to do something for her son's sake.
She also wants her son to be well, she wants him to be safe and sound.
She also hopes that someone can give her an explanation, but the problem is that no one can.
No one could give her an explanation, no one understood her heart.
What could she do?
As a mother, she wanted to do something for her son.
"Mo Yan, things have come to this point. Now that he has realized his mistakes and remembered everything that happened, could you please be lenient and not pursue this matter further?"
That's why they came here today.
"cannot."
