Even under the sun, the two were still cold and scared. When they looked at each other, they would subconsciously think of Zhang Tu's face...
...
When Mo Yan returned from the noodle shop, Xiao Ran's mother pulled her aside.
"I heard Wei Lin is back, and he's with a woman. What's going on? He's wronged my daughter, isn't he? You have to give me an explanation!"
Mo Yan was a little surprised. She thought Xiao Ran already knew about this. "Xiao Ran's mother, don't you know? Xiao Ran and Wei Lin are not married at all. I've said it before, I made Xiao Ran my daughter. She's registered on her own. Your daughter isn't married yet. As for Yin Yin, she's registered on the same household as me."
From now on, my daughter Yinyin will live with me, but Xiaoran will be able to live on her own.
Xiao Ran's mother was stunned. So that's how it was. But back then...
"You mean to say that my daughter is actually not married?"
"You can't say that. You've forgotten that you accepted my betrothal gifts. Your daughter is already my daughter, and she has nothing to do with your family anymore." This matter needs to be clarified. Of course, if Xiao Ran still wants to go back with her mother, that's fine too.
"I..." Xiao Ran's mother didn't know what to say, so she quickly went inside to ask Xiao Ran.
"Xiao Ran, is what your mother said just now true?"
Xiao Ran's mother wanted to find out the truth. If it was false, she would make Mo Yan compensate her, since her son had done something wrong and deserved some explanation. If it was true, then... would she be able to find her daughter another partner?
My daughter now has the skill to make noodles, she can totally open another noodle shop. As for whether it's immoral, that's Mo Yan's family being shameless first, what does it have to do with them?
After asking for a long time, Xiao Ran still didn't respond. Xiao Ran's mother touched Xiao Ran's arm and spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Is it really true? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?"
"It's true. When you all looked down on me and thought I was a disgrace to the family, my mother took me in as her daughter. She didn't look down on me and did a lot for me, giving me a household registration and allowing me to give birth to this child."
Mother, when you felt I shouldn't be at home, it was my mother who gave me a home.
Why are you bringing these things up now? Is it for the money?
Xiao Ran suddenly realized that no matter how much time had passed, her mother was still the same mother, and there was no difference.
"You should have told me back then. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you into her house, nor would I have let you have this child. Wouldn't it have been better if you had remarried?"
I don't even know what to say to you. How could you have been so easily fooled?
Xiao Ran found her mother's angry expression quite absurd.
"Mother, you know very well whether you were deceived or not. Even though you knew Wei Lin was no good, you still made me marry him because you didn't want to lose face!"
Even if you knew I was pregnant, you wouldn't make me abort the child; you'd only make me marry into the family. Otherwise, my older brother and sister-in-law would be unhappy.
Now that you know Wei Lin has returned with others, all you want is money. We already compensated your family once, can you please stop this?
As you said yourself, I'm a married daughter, like water spilled from a cup. My future choices are my own business, so please don't interfere.
Xiao Ran knew perfectly well why her mother was saying these things, and she knew what her mother wanted to do. She knew she would never agree to it.
Don't even think about it.
"You..." Xiao Ran's mother was furious. "Then how about this, you leave the child here and go open your own noodle shop. Our whole family will come and help you. I think the business is doing quite well."
Xiao Ran's mother revealed her purpose: she wanted Xiao Ran to open her own noodle shop.
"Impossible." Xiao Ran refused without hesitation. "Mom, I can't possibly start my own business. I've always worked for you. You don't need to take care of me during my postpartum period anymore. Go back now. I can't agree to anything you're thinking of."
I won't let my nephew come either; I'll only take care of my own daughter.
Seeing Xiao Ran's resolute attitude, Xiao Ran's mother was furious. She thought to herself, "This brat is such a waste of my time raising her."
Are you trying to drive me crazy?!
Xiao Ran looked up at her mother's radiant face and said calmly, "I don't think so, Mom. You're in good spirits and seem to be doing well. I believe you'll be fine, so don't worry."
Xiao Ran's mother got even angrier and was about to take action when Mo Yan followed her in.
"Xiao Ran's mother, what are you doing! Xiao Ran is still in her postpartum period. Instead of comforting her, you're hitting her. If you don't want to take care of her, just say so!"
Xiao Ran's mother felt embarrassed and snorted, "I don't want to take care of you anyway. Since you all dislike me, I'll leave now."
Xiao Ran's mother left without hesitation, but she took a small step. She thought she would be stopped, but the other party didn't care at all and didn't intend to stop her. So she... walked to the door and came back.
She's not stupid; she eats well with Xiao Ran, has plenty of meat and fish, and even gets a salary. But when she goes back, she'll have to work, take care of her family, and look after her grandson.
"I...I stayed because I was afraid Xiaoran would be bullied."
Mo Yan didn't care; after all, this was Xiao Ran's biological mother, and she shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Xiao Ran was very angry, but she couldn't just kick her mother out like that, so she could only look at Mo Yan apologetically.
Mo Yan smiled and sat down next to her. "You've been looking alright these past few days. Tell Aunt Li what you want to eat, and she'll make you a variety of things. If you're unhappy about anything, just say so. You should be happy during your postpartum period and not get angry. You have to take care of your own body."
