It was the first time Yu Hongzhen had heard his mother utter such undisguised malicious words, and they were directed at his own daughter. Such blatant malice wasn't simply spoken in anger; judging by her expression, it was clearly what she really meant.
She just wanted Yu Qingqing to die.
"Mom, do you want to see a doctor?"
After hearing this, Yu's mother calmed down and didn't care about her daughter's disgusted expression. She didn't expect anything from Yu Qingqing anyway. What could she expect from a mentally ill person? Her son was more considerate. He even asked her to take care of the wound. "It's okay, Mom doesn't feel any pain."
Yu Hongzhen shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I want you to go see a psychiatric ward. Your mental state is even more mentally ill than Qingqing's. I think you have a problem, and it seems to be more serious."
Yu's mother: "Yu Hongzhen, I'm your mother. Do you have any conscience? You say I'm mentally ill?"
Yu Hongzhen nodded: "Really, I think you really look like her, even more than Qingqing. The way you're saying this now, and the emotions you're expressing, really sound like a mental illness. Go and have a look. I think this mental illness didn't develop after Qingqing went to the countryside, but was inherited from you."
As expected, Yu Hongzhen was slapped by his mother and told to get out.
The two walked out of the hospital one after the other.
Yu Qingqing took a deep breath. Even a cemetery would be comfortable without her mother around. "Brother, where are we going?"
Yu Hongzhen was worried, "I want to go find your sister-in-law."
Yu Qingqing: "Then go."
Yu Hongzhen: "Our family just had a fight with them."
Yu Qingqing: "Why don't you just say you want to marry into his family? That aunt just said so, so just agree."
Yu Hongzhen was still struggling: "I am a grown man and I am going to marry into the family..."
Yu Qingqing was very disappointed: "Brother, our parents are different from other parents. If we really let my sister-in-law come in, there will be a lot of trouble. It's better for you to marry out. I think their family is pretty good. The people in their family are strong and can intimidate our parents."
"Think about it. If my sister-in-law came into the family, my mother would use her status as mother-in-law to oppress her every day. She wouldn't be able to hit her or scold her. Even if I served her obediently, she would go around saying bad things about me, and everyone would think my sister-in-law was bad."
Yu Hongzhen: "Then when I'm transferred here, won't I be able to separate from them?"
Yu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. "Then Mom insisted on coming here and asking Sister-in-law to serve her. If she doesn't serve her, she'll cry outside. Won't the higher-ups come to talk to you then?"
Yu Hongzhen was silent. Sometimes his mother would really do such thankless things. He didn't know what she was trying to achieve, but she would be happy as long as she saw others unhappy. If her identity had not been clearly checked after she married his father, he would really suspect that his mother was an enemy spy.
"Then if I... marry into your family, what will you do?"
Yu Qingqing gave a particularly cold smile, "I'll piss them off to death in Hai City."
Yu Hongzhen: "I'm afraid of them..."
Yu Qingqing: "Are you afraid they'll kill me? Then we'll die together."
Yu Hongzhen: "When the time comes, they'll deny you food and water, lock you up in a room, and lock the door shut. How can you possibly take them with you to death? Besides, Qingqing, you're younger than me, and you still have a lot of good days ahead of you. Can't you just stand up to them and live peacefully?"
Yu Qingqing: "They won't let me go."
Yu Hongzhen: "I'll find a way. At worst, I'll report them. I'll definitely bring you with me when I come here."
Yu Qingqing: "If you report them again, your future will be ruined, right?"
Yu Hongzhen: "If you don't want it, then don't want it. Anyway, the salary is enough for us to live well."
Yu Qingqing: "I'm not leaving."
Yu Hongzhen nodded: "It's okay if you don't leave. Just stay here. I'll let Aunt Xia take care of you and I'll give her money."
Yu Qingqing: "That's not what I meant. I'm going to stay in Hai City and don't bother with me. I know what I'm doing."
The two siblings argued for a long time, each more stubborn than the other. Yu Qingqing didn't want to drag her brother down, and Yu Hongzhen couldn't bear to see his sister fall into such a dangerous situation. Neither of them could persuade the other.
Finally, the two stopped arguing and went to Chen's house together.
Old Chen and his men were cleaning up the mess, cursing under their breath.
"What a waste of a good bowl! Why didn't they break it during the "Four Olds" campaign?"
"This bowl was a prize I won during the Lunar New Year last year. What a beautiful set! The supply and marketing cooperative is so precious."
"This small bowl is what your mother bought for the two little ones to eat egg custard. She waited a long time for it to be available."
"The most regrettable thing is that the meat is mixed with scraps. Why don't you wash it and still eat it?"
"Oh, this fish is broken into pieces, and Xiangbei sat on it and flattened it. This is a good fish, and it died with its eyes open."
Old Chen muttered to himself, feeling both distressed and angry.
Chen Xiangbei had gauze wrapped on his hand and was wiping the table with his other hand, while Chen Xianghong was cooking lunch in the kitchen.
"Uncle and aunt, we are here again." Yu Hongzhen said awkwardly. Their door was not closed, so he came in directly.
Old Chen's face darkened. "Get out. Our Xiang Hong doesn't want to date you."
Chen Xianghong heard the sound and ran out, "Brother Yu, the family is cooking, or..."
Old Chen pushed his daughter into the kitchen and said, "You can't say that. Just cook your meal. You haven't even started yet, and you're not being reserved at all."
Yu Hongzhen knew that they were angry at him for making such a mess in their home. Anyone would be angry in this situation, but he didn't know what to say. At this moment, he became tongue-tied.
Yu Qingqing took out a few bills and money from his brother's pocket and stuffed them into Old Lady Xia's hands. "Uncle, take these bills. My mom broke so many things, and you have suffered a lot of losses. Take them. These are our compensation."
Old Lady Xia stuffed the bill into Yu Qingqing's hand and said, "We also injured your father and didn't pay for his medical expenses. Let's just consider it even. Thank goodness nothing happened, otherwise I, an old lady, would have to go to the farm and suffer those hardships at my age. It's really a blessing in disguise."
Yu Qingqing smiled and said, "Aunt, if you say that again, I will be ashamed. I know my parents' tempers. If possible, I would like to die with them so that my brother can live a happy life. Now that everyone is in such a turmoil, no one is happy. You must accept this money, so that my brother can talk about the next thing."
After being stuffed with something, Old Lady Xia asked curiously, "What's the matter? Breaking up with my Xiang Hong?"
Yu Qingqing shook her head, then pulled her elder brother's sleeve and asked him to speak quickly.
Yu Hongzhen felt that if he stuck his head out, he would be cut off. Since he had made up his mind, there was nothing to be unhappy about. "Uncle and aunt, I want to come to your house and be your son-in-law."
