Old Mrs. Xia felt her sister patting her back, just like when she was a child and was afraid to sleep late at night, her sister patted her like this. Although she was not very old at that time, it made her feel so reassured that she didn't even care about the hand holding the IV.
Chen Xiangbei stood aside and watched the two old ladies hugging each other and crying, thinking that she was worthy of being his aunt, and was as undisciplined as his mother. He was clearly saying that his mother was unreasonable, but after the old lady said that, it seemed that his mother had suffered a great injustice.
"Aunt, what kind of grievance has my mother suffered? She eats and drinks well every day, how could she suffer any grievance?"
Xia Yu'e let her sister lean her head on her shoulder and cry. Seeing Chen Xiangbei's look of confusion, she didn't want to eat the candy in her mouth anymore and spat it at his feet. "I don't want to eat your candy. You are not good to your mother. You are not a human being. Get out."
Chen Xiangbei: "Aunt, let's be reasonable."
Xia Yu'e: "No."
Chen Xiangbei sat there sulking, furious. But he didn't leave. He had to go back with his mother. If they ran into that bastard Tian Chengping again, at least he could still help.
Just as I was thinking about this bastard, the door of the clinic was pushed open and Tian Chengping rushed in angrily, with a cold air.
"Where's my mom? Tell me clearly, what's going on?" He shouted loudly. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Chen Xiangbei who was sitting next to him and grabbed his collar fiercely.
Damn it, it’s so unlucky. Chen Xiangbei had to admit at this time that he was a jinx and everything he said in secret would come true.
He struggled madly and threw a punch. "What are you doing? What are you doing? Can you be a civilized person?"
Tian Chengping started cursing, "You bastard, what civilized people are you? You're civilized, so why don't you rob my mother? I've seen people rob money and women, but I've never seen people rob a mother who's over 50 years old. You civilized people are all bandits."
Chen Xiangbei: "Oh, you beast, you cursed me, now you know you're anxious. Why didn't you show any mercy when you abused your mother before? I've seen assholes before, but I've never seen assholes as you. If we hadn't sent it to your mother, she would have starved to death long ago."
Tian Chengping pointed at Xia Yu'e lying on the bed. "That's my mother. Why do you care so much about us? If you want to be filial, you should support my mother. You just talk big and want to teach me a lesson for paying a few cents for her medical expenses. Who do you think you are? Can you afford to support her? You're useless. You enjoy blaming others, but you keep silent when you have to pay for it yourself."
"My mother has had this body condition. She has always been like this. She didn't die before and she won't die now. What do you know? It's a waste of money. It's no better to buy some food with this money than to send her to the hospital." He pushed Chen Xiangbei aside and sneered when he saw his mother holding hands tightly with the dead old woman who had scolded him before.
"Comrade Xia, you're so used to being a saint that you treat everyone like one of your relatives. That's my mother, and I know what her family's situation is like. My father said that her family doesn't even have a single worker, let alone a literate one. Stop being so kind and go back to the factory. You won't have to worry about my mother anymore."
Xia Yu'e looked at her now-grown son, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was a wolf in human skin. He had been bad as a child, but with his father's protection, Xia Yu'e had no way of disciplining him. Whenever she criticized him, his father would scold her, and sometimes even beat her.
By the time his father, angered by his son, died of retribution, Tian Chengping had grown up and would no longer listen to her. She had been hungry for a long time and had no strength, so if they really fought, she would not be his match. The only thing she was thankful for was that her father was gone. Although Tian Chengping was a jerk, he would not beat her for no reason, unless he was angry or at other times. Xia Yu'e felt that life was a little better, especially after he got a job as a worker in the factory.
Most of the time, Xia Yu'e stayed indoors. Firstly, because of Tian Chengping, her family didn't have a good relationship with the neighbors. Secondly, she didn't know what to do outside. She had to do odd jobs to avoid starving to death, so apart from taking jobs at the street office and occasionally asking neighbors to help with laundry, she was not allowed to go out.
Although death seems to be a relief, who would want to die when they can still live?
Unexpectedly, Tian Chengping was detained just a few years after working as a worker. She only went out when someone notified her to pick up her son.
As soon as she went out, Old Mrs. Xia saw her.
Xia Yu'e couldn't say she didn't have feelings for her son, but after more than twenty years of living together, they had worn away much of them. "Chengping, shut up! You've read so much that you've become a complete idiot. No wonder the factory doesn't want you anymore and fired you. You've never been a good person."
It was quite strange for Tian Chengping to hear his mother scolding him. Ever since he became an adult, his mother never spoke to him. Even when he got angry at her, she remained silent. It was as if she had isolated their entire family. This time, the mute mother actually spoke, and even for some outsiders to teach him a lesson.
Tian Chengping rushed over and pulled her mother off the hospital bed. "What did you say? How dare you scold me? If it weren't for that old woman in front of you, would I have been fired from the factory? She's not a good person, and you're not worth much either. My dad said you're worse than pigs and dogs. You've been treating yourself like a mute for the past few years. You'd better keep treating yourself like a mute in the future, or I'll beat you to death."
When Old Lady Xia saw this scene, she had an even deeper impression that Tian Chengping was a beast. He could actually do such a thing. In the past, he would have been beaten to death. She directly hit Tian Chengping's chest with her head, knocked him away, and helped her sister up. Seeing that she was just a little pale and nothing was wrong, she felt relieved. She was almost scared to death just now.
She stood up and looked at Tian Chengping, curse words flowing freely as if they were part of her blood. "Worse than pigs and dogs, who are you calling worse than pigs and dogs? Tian Chengping, the only good thing you've done in your life is to piss your dad off to death. He's a big beast, and you're a little beast. And you're wasting money. No matter how much money you waste, it's still worth more than what I've spent on you since you were a child."
The more she scolded him, the more angry she became. Thinking of how her sister had been bullied by them for so many years, Old Lady Xia felt a pang of pain in her heart. She had just hit and scolded someone in front of them. She must have had no scruples in the past. How did her sister live like this?
The moment Chen Xiangbei saw her mother about to rush forward, she immediately grabbed Tian Chengping's hand from behind. Old Lady Xia started beating him wildly.
She beat him and cursed him, "It's a good thing your father is dead. If he wasn't, I would have paid someone to beat you two so hard that you'd never be able to stand up again. But even if your father were dead, I'd want to dig up his grave right now. Damn old bastard, I'd dig up his ashes, mix them with rice, and feed them to the wild dogs in the mountains."
