After hearing her sister-in-law's words, Xiuhua bit her lower lip and nodded gratefully as she accepted the property certificate and keys.
After the bruises around his eyes had mostly faded, Zhong Zihua went to Caomao Hutong after lunch.
Unfortunately, this time, when she saw her son, Hong Chunjiao didn't feel the excitement she had when she first saw him.
She snorted loudly at him, almost slamming the door shut and locking him out.
However, thinking that her son must have regretted it, if he came back, and she closed the door, wouldn't that be pushing him towards the vixen?
Having figured this out, Hong Chunjiao didn't close the door and turned to go inside.
Zhong Zihua followed his mother into the house, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
Looking around, he realized it was a day off, so his dad should be home.
"Why are you looking for your dad? Aren't you supposed to be tough? Why did you come back?"
Hong Chunjiao replied irritably.
"Mom, I came here this time because I want to have a proper talk with you."
"Don't be so angry. No matter what, I'm still your son."
Zhong Zihua sat down next to Hong Chunjiao, took her hand, sighed deeply, and said...
Upon hearing Zhong Zihua's words, Hong Chunjiao wiped her eyes, turned her head away, and choked out, "You still know he's my son, that I gave birth to him, that he crawled out of my intestines?"
These three sentences from his mother made Zhong Zihua very sad. He held her hand tightly and said, "Mom, I am your son, you gave birth to me, but you should also think about your son. Xueqi is also my daughter, I gave birth to her too."
Besides, don't you know how hard your son suffered all alone over there?
As he said this, he closed his eyes briefly, trying to hold back the tears welling up in them.
Hearing her son mention the suffering he was experiencing over there, Hong Chunjiao felt a little uncomfortable and shifted slightly before falling silent.
She and Lao Zhong were sent down to a farm and suffered so much.
Their daughter had severed ties with the family long ago, so she had been living peacefully in Taipei.
But the son was stubborn and refused to sever ties with them, so he was assigned to that remote area and lived a life worse than death.
Hua Zi held her hand. The hand that used to hold a pen was now covered in calluses, the result of years of hard work. How could she not know that?
"Hua Zi, I'm doing this for your own good. Yes, I know that woman was there for you when you were suffering."
But have you ever thought about whether your parents have it easy?
I want you to come back and not live with that woman anymore, so that you won't have to suffer like that again.
Listen to your mother, as long as you break up with that woman and marry Honglan, you won't have to worry about the house anymore!
Tears streamed down Hong Chunjiao's face as she grasped Zhong Zihua's hand and turned it around to comfort him.
Hearing his mother's words, Zhong Zihua stared at her in astonishment, mouth agape, silent for a moment, before breaking free from her grasp.
He originally wanted to explain to his mother that Xiuhua's family also owned a house in Taipei.
However, what his mother said made him unsure whether to be thankful or not that he hadn't revealed Xiuhua's family's affairs.
"I'm sorry, son, I can't do it."
I've already made a decision with Xiuhua, and I'll be going to her place in a few days.
From now on, she and I will send you our retirement money every month.
After Zhong Zihua finished speaking, he exhaled a breath of stale air, then suddenly stood up, turned around, and walked out.
