After watching Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing take a sip of tea, they put the teacup on the table.
Hong Chunjiao felt increasingly uneasy. Ignoring her husband's earlier warning, she asked directly, "How many days are you two staying in Taipei? Where are you staying?"
Hearing Grandma Xiuhua's somewhat condescending question, Ning Jing was speechless. Did she think she was superior to others?
Upon hearing his wife's words and noticing the displeased expressions on the faces of the couple opposite him, Zhong Mingxue's heart skipped a beat. He quickly smoothed things over by saying to Fu Hongxing, "Brother-in-law, is this your first time in Beishi? Why don't you stay a few more days and let Hua Zi show you around and have some fun? If you don't mind that our place is small, you can stay here."
Before Fu Hongxing could even shake his head in refusal, Hong Chunjiao shrieked, "Old Zhong, are you kidding me? Where would we find room for someone to stay? Don't forget, it's not just the two of us in our family, there's also Qiu Feng and the others!"
Zhong Mingxue, who had been stopped by his wife, choked and fell silent upon hearing this.
Zhong Zihua was initially embarrassed when he heard his mother's refusal, but his face darkened when he heard Qiu Feng's name.
"Dad, Mom, why is Qiufeng living here?"
He remembered it clearly: back then, there were two people in the family, and one of them had to go to the countryside. He felt sorry for his younger sister, Qiufeng, who was still young, so he signed up without hesitation and was assigned to that poor place. He didn't complain at all.
However, Qiu Feng shouldn't have kicked her parents when they were down and severed ties with them.
Because of this, he almost secretly ran away from the countryside to Taipei to find Qiu Feng and ask her for clarification.
Fortunately, Xiuhua was there at the time. If it weren't for her, he would have definitely made a mistake, and his life would probably have been over.
Now, listening to my mother, this sister who has severed ties with them is actually living in their house. What does this mean?
Upon hearing Zhong Zihua's question, Hong Chunjiao immediately shrank back, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Zhong Mingxue let out a long sigh, which made Zhong Zihua's heart sink.
Hong Chunjiao shrank back, but felt that it was really hurtful for her son to question her as his mother in front of outsiders.
She covered her face and cried, "You are my son, she is my daughter, they are both my flesh and blood, why can't she live here?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Zihua suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "Mom, what are you saying? Have you forgotten that when our family was down on its luck, she kicked us while we were down and cut off all ties with us?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Chunjiao paused in her sobs, then continued, choking back tears, "Then what do you want me to do? She even knelt down and apologized to Mom, saying she was young and naive, and had been deceived. Now that she's realized her mistake, are we going to hold onto it and refuse to let go?"
No matter what, she is the child I carried for ten months and finally gave birth to.
She has my blood in her veins, it's family ties, how can I sever them so easily?
Hua Zi, she's your only blood-related sister.
Hong Chunjiao initially pretended to cry because she felt embarrassed in front of outsiders, but as she talked, she was genuinely crying about her misfortune!
Her daughter's actions had indeed hurt her, but her son wasn't around at the time. Later, her son-in-law brought her daughter over to apologize to them.
