Xia Yu'e looked at the child in front of her who was younger than her son. She pursed her lips, obviously unhappy about what her mother had just said to her, but she still handed the candy to him stubbornly. He was a good boy, just like his mother, and had been a good boy since childhood.
"No, just eat it yourself. You're so good." Xia Yu'e wanted to reach out and refuse, but she forgot that she still had an IV drip on her hand, and the blood came back up.
Old Lady Xia grabbed the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into Xia Yu'e's mouth. "Sister, eat it. When you finish the IV drip, you can come with me. I will support you in the future."
Xia Yu'e: "What are you talking about? I already have a son, how can I ask you to raise him like that? You have to support your own family too, and you are raising a useless person like me. What will my brother-in-law think?"
Old Lady Xia: "Your son, let me tell you, even a dog is more useful than him. Even though it's still so cold now, what are you wearing? When I sent you here just now, I touched your hand and I almost thought you..."
She wanted to say that she almost thought she had just found her sister and was about to lose her again, but seeing her sister's expression, she couldn't bring herself to say it. She was afraid that if she did, they would both start crying again. Her sister's health was so poor that this clinic only treated minor illnesses. She had to take her to a larger hospital.
"Although my son is useless, I can support myself. Yue'e, just live your life well. Now we can be sisters again, and there are many days ahead. Bring the children to see me more often, and I will have hope for the rest of my life. Just seeing you makes me happy."
Old Lady Xia: "What's the point of being long? If you continue to live with your son, you won't be able to live here for long. Sister, are you going to make me die of grief? I have money, I can afford to support you. Isn't it good for the two of us sisters to live together in the future?"
Thinking of Tian Chengping, she was filled with hatred. He was a bastard just like her children. He even beat his own mother. He was not a human being and should go to hell. Old Lady Xia thought of her past life and imagined her sister's past life. Maybe her death was even more miserable than hers.
Soon, she turned around and scolded Chen Xiangbei a few words to relieve her anger, and then began to persuade her sister.
After coughing a few times, Xia Yu'e continued, "Yue'e, I always hoped you would be well, and I still hope you are well. After you left, I often wondered if you were doing an excellent job, if you were praised by your boss, if you got a raise, and if you had any good food."
"Will a good man discover your excellence and pursue you? Will you get married and have children? You'll have a good husband, good children, and a happy family. Then in recent years, I've been wondering if you have grandchildren. They'll be just like you were when you were little, chattering and rushing to help you when they see someone bullying you."
"Just thinking about it makes me feel very happy. I raised you, and what you want most is to see someone love you for the rest of your life, to have meat to eat, good clothes to wear, and to be happy and successful every day. As for me, I don't want to disturb your life, and I don't need you to support me. Just live a good life on your own and you will be worthy of me."
Old Mrs. Xia didn't know how long it had been since she had heard such words. People only said that as a wife she should be considerate of her husband in doing housework at home, and people said that as a mother she should take care of her children and let them grow up safely, but what about her own feelings? She is also a human being.
Apart from Yin Donghua who sometimes felt sorry for her, when did her own family ever take care of her like she took care of them? In this life and the previous one, apart from her sister and Yin Donghua who felt sorry for her, did anyone else really feel sorry for her?
Old Mrs. Xia sniffed and blinked back her tears. "Sister, only with you do I feel like someone loves me again. I..."
Chen Xiangbei couldn't sit still anymore. He started to cry after saying a few words. He didn't get to the point at all. It was really like two old ladies who didn't know why they were holding hands. Wasn't his mother happy enough? There was no woman who could be more patient than her now.
She beats and scolds people at home and outside. Who can beat her better? Who can scold her better? Those who can't beat her or scold her better are all sent to reformatory schools. She will set fire to the house after just a few words. There is no one more cruel than her.
No one loves her yet. If no one loves her, how dare she set fire?
Chen Xiangbei got angry when he thought of the quilt on his bed with a big hole burned in it. He cried and cried. Even his mother started crying, but he didn't cry at all.
He couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Aunt, tell me about my mom. She divorced my dad a few years ago and didn't want any of us children. She went straight to live in the factory dormitory. Tell me, how could there be such a person?"
"She beats us every day, beats my dad, beats my brother, beats my sister, and the worst thing is that she beats me the most. What boy isn't naughty? I'm not going to kill anyone or set anything else on fire, so why does she beat me every day?"
"We let her beat us like that, but she still wasn't satisfied. On New Year's Day, she insisted on getting a divorce. Not only did she overturn all the delicious food on the table, she almost burned down my house. She also kept saying I was destined for forced labor. I think she's much more patient than I am."
"None of us can control her. If only you had met my mother earlier, there would finally be someone who could control her."
Xia Yu'e was confused. What did it mean? Her smartest, most motivated, hardworking and promising sister was divorced?
She couldn't lie down any longer, so she struggled to sit up and looked at Xia Yue'e, "What does this child mean? Are you divorced?"
Old Mrs. Xia lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at her sister. Divorce was not easy in the city. From the past to the present, she was the only one in their area who had experienced it. How many people talked about her behind her back, scolded her for not being a contented woman, saying that she was wild and not a good person. There were even more nasty insults, not to mention her sister. She had grown up in the village and had never seen anyone get divorced.
She hadn't achieved any of the things her sister had imagined. Not only that, she had died a miserable death in her previous life, and none of her children were filial to her. The person she felt most sorry for was her sister. Her current good life was earned by her sister's hard work, but she hadn't been able to live a decent life either.
He died in his previous life and is divorced in this one. No matter how you look at it, he hasn't lived a good life.
Old Mrs. Xia choked up, feeling depressed and a sense of guilt suddenly filled her chest. "Yes, sister, I'm sorry, I got divorced and couldn't live that kind of stable life."
Xia Yu'e looked at her face and suddenly hugged Old Lady Xia.
"My sister, you must have had a hard time these past few years. You're so young and alone out there, with no one to help you, no one to teach you, and no one to listen to your complaints. How could it not be hard? Divorce is divorce, they must have treated you badly, that's for sure."
