Tang Xiaoling hadn't seen Southwest come to the school to look for Duoduo for a long time, and gradually lost patience. Besides, the school had started its winter break, so she stopped going to the school.
Little did anyone know that Duoduo would bring Southwest to the restaurant where she worked for dinner. It seems that this kid still hopes that she can get back together with his father.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoling, for the first time ever, took out her own money to add a dish for Duoduo and brought it over with a smile.
"Come here, Duoduo. Mom cooked a dish for you today. Try it and see if you like it."
Duoduo glanced at the dish with disdain. This woman was definitely not a loving mother. Even Fubao knew that she didn't eat pig liver, yet she still made a stir-fried pig liver dish.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Tang Xiaoling took a stool and a set of chopsticks and sat down.
"It's been so long since our family has eaten together. Today is such a good day, it's a day for our whole family to be reunited."
After saying that, he reached for the stir-fried pork liver with his chopsticks and kindly picked up a piece for Southwest.
Southwest quickly moved the bowl of noodles away, and the pig liver fell onto the table. Tang Xiaoling said unhappily, "You can't waste food."
Southwest's anger began to rise, but since they were in a restaurant and people nearby had already noticed, he held back and didn't say anything.
His silence didn't mean Duoduo wouldn't speak. Duoduo picked up the stir-fried pork liver and tossed it onto an empty table nearby.
"Who's family with you? Didn't you divorce my dad?"
Tang Xiaoling blushed, her heart filled with rage. Could it be that this young man brought Southwest here not to help them get back together, but to make a fool of herself?
"You're my son, why don't you speak up for me? I've wasted my time raising you!" Tang Xiaoling cursed angrily.
Duo Duo sneered, "You're going to support me? Have you forgotten that my brother and I have already given you our retirement money in advance? How are you going to support me?"
The people eating nearby were in an uproar. This kid was only a few years old, maybe eleven or twelve, and he had already paid off his retirement savings.
What does it mean to "settle down the pension money"? It means to sever ties with one's mother. What could possibly make a child sever ties with their mother?
Could she be a stepmother? But that doesn't make sense. Why would a stepmother need a grown man like this to support her in her old age? She should be supporting her own father.
No wonder this woman could buy such a big house; it turns out she took the money her son used to sever ties with his family. This woman is truly ruthless.
People in the restaurant were whispering among themselves, and it was indeed part of the money used to buy the house that Duoduo and Wujinban scraped together their retirement savings.
Tang Xiaoling was furious that her secret had been exposed. However, although this woman was cold-hearted, she was really not good at arguing or throwing a tantrum.
Just as she was in a state of panic, a few people walked in through the door. It turned out that Cuihua and her friends had bought some things and were planning to go back after lunch.
Seeing Cuihua walk in, Tang Xiaoling got excited and ran up to her, saying, "Mom, you're here! You have to stand up for me!"
Cuihua was startled. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Tang Xiaoling and exclaimed, "Xiaoling, what are you doing here?"
One called her "Mom," and the other, surprised, didn't immediately refute her. Everyone in the restaurant assumed that Cuihua was Tang Xiaoling's biological mother.
Suddenly, the tone of the scolding towards Cuihua rose:
"Look at this woman, dressed so well, could she also be a estranged family member?"
"Yes, yes, and those people over there, they don't look like good people. Eat quickly, and leave as soon as you're done eating, they're too unlucky."
"Yes, yes, eat up! But that man is so handsome, he must not be from around here."
Yan Xiaoqiang was furious. He pointed at Tang Xiaoling and cursed, "You unfaithful woman! My son has divorced you, and my grandson has cut ties with you. Who are you calling 'mother' now?"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience was stunned. The restaurant owner also came out and looked at Tang Xiaoling, saying:
"Sorry, I don't need your help here anymore. Come back and settle your bill when you're free. You can leave now."
Then, smiling at Yan Xiaoqiang, he said, "Gentlemen, there are seats inside, please have a seat."
It was only then that Cuihua realized she had been tricked by Tang Xiaoling without her noticing.
He reached out and pulled Xu Lili over, pointing at her and saying, "This is my daughter-in-law. She even gave birth to a daughter for the Yan family."
Tang Xiaoling looked at Xu Lili, and that one look almost made Tang Xiaoling furious.
Although Xu Lili wasn't particularly beautiful, she was from Beijing and a college student, and her innate arrogance surpassed that of Tang Xiaoling by a wide margin.
Then look at Yan Bao'er in Xu Lili's arms, all pink and tender, wearing a down jacket that is not sold in town at all.
A pair of bright eyes stared at her, as if mocking Tang Xiaoling's shameless desires.
Impulsiveness is the devil. Tang Xiaoling steeled her heart and grabbed Southwest's arm, saying, "Mother, you've mistaken me for someone else. I am your daughter-in-law."
Southwest flung Tang Xiaoling's hand away, grabbed Duo Duo's hand, walked to Xu Lili's side, and looked at Tang Xiaoling, saying each word clearly:
“My wife Lily, my daughter Bao’er, my son Duoduo, as for you, I don’t want to talk about your shameful deeds, because you have good parents.”
Ye Chenming pulled Duoduo up and said to Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang, "Mom and Dad, let's go to another restaurant to eat. This place is too dirty."
Tang Xiaoling was startled by Ye Chenming's words. What did he mean? Did he say she was dirty?
Since that's the case, let's all get dirty together. He threw the pot of stir-fried pig liver next to him towards Xu Lili.
Unfortunately, it hit Duoduo on the back. Luckily, she was wearing a lot of clothes, but it was still quite a blow for her.
Xu Lili cried out, handed Bao'er to Southwest, rushed up and slapped Tang Xiaoling across the face.
"You dare to smash my son, you vicious woman! How dare you breathe this clean air? You might as well die and leave us a clean place."
"What do you mean 'your son'? He's the one I carried for ten months and gave birth to! You shameless woman, you're stealing my man and now you want to steal my son! I'll fight you to the death!"
Tang Xiaoling was slapped in the face and, enraged, began to act recklessly.
Just as the two women were about to fight, Duoduo rushed in and kicked Tang Xiaoling twice in the back of the knees, knocking her to the ground.
Duoduo looked at Tang Xiaoling's incredulous eyes and spat on the ground: "Pah, you filthy woman."
Ye Chenming grabbed Duo Duo and walked out; the kid's behavior was too unexpected.
Southwest also pulled Xu Lili out. They've all gone crazy today. I wonder if Lili will feel uncomfortable about it.
Yan Xiaoqiang left with Cuihua in his arms. Cuihua gave Tang Xiaoling a complicated look, wondering how she would explain this to Tang Jianjun when she got back.
The guests in the restaurant have all left in twos and threes. Today I'm watching a free family drama, and I'll have something to do this afternoon.
