After returning from that compound, Old Mrs. Xia went back to their factory and asked the canteen chef to make her some porridge, preferably meat porridge.
Walking on the road with a lunch box of hot porridge, she felt very satisfied. Thinking of her sister waiting for her in the temporary rented house, Old Mrs. Xia felt very satisfied.
As the sky gradually darkened, Old Mrs. Xia hid the lunch box in her clothes and couldn't help but quicken her pace. The wind was still very cold at night.
Passing a supply and marketing cooperative, Old Lady Xia paused. She remembered her sister's tattered cotton coat, its color barely discernible from washing. The cotton inside had bunched up and stiffened, offering no protection from the wind. It must have been cold. She had considered buying some cloth and cotton to make her own coat in a few days, letting her sister wear it first, and then asking Chen Xiangbei to bring over some clothes, a quilt, and other daily necessities that afternoon.
But thinking that her sister couldn't even wear a good piece of clothing for decades, Old Mrs. Xia felt jealous. She decided to go all out and just buy a ready-made piece of clothing. The fabric used in ready-made clothes is not available outside, and it is warm and windproof. She had been looking at it for a long time before the New Year.
Old Mrs. Xia turned around and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the clothing counter.
Halfway through the walk, Old Mrs. Xia suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head sharply and her eyes met those of her second son.
Next to the second brother stood a fashionable woman, the two of them were laughing together, and the woman pointed at a watch on the counter, as if asking for his opinion.
That woman is not Tang Jiao!
After Chen Xiangnan made eye contact with Old Lady Xia, he immediately took a step back, keeping some distance from the woman. He wanted to explain something, but the facts were right in front of his mother, and no matter what he said, it was useless.
The two of them just looked at each other silently, neither of them taking the first step.
The two of them behaved so intimately that Old Lady Xia felt that even if they beat her to death, they must be having an affair.
It’s only been a short time. He and Tang Jiao have been married for less than a year. How could this shameless and dirty guy become like this again?
The woman next to him saw him staring at an old woman and turned to ask him, feeling puzzled. Chen Xiangnan forced a smile, lowered his head and said something to someone, then finally walked over.
Chen Xiangnan came up to Old Lady Xia and called out, "Mom!"
Old Lady Xia felt a tightness in her chest, and it was hard to breathe. She thought back to when she had been the one to firmly oppose this bastard marrying Tang Jiao, and she wouldn't have harmed the girl.
Shameless, shameless beast.
Old Mrs. Xia was so disgusted that her face turned pale. When she first joined the supply and marketing cooperative, she was very happy. She could buy clothes for her sister, had a house to live in, and had some money in her hands. What a comfortable life it was. There would be plenty of good days in the future.
But at this moment, she felt that she had committed a sin.
She had committed a sin when she gave birth to this bastard, and it would surely come back to haunt her in the future. Although she didn't advocate feudal superstition, thinking about her past life and the few of them, Old Lady Xia felt a little breathless.
Holding onto the last glimmer of hope, Old Lady Xia asked, "Second Brother, this woman...?"
After a moment of silence, Chen Xiangnan said weakly, "Mom, she and I actually have nothing to do with each other. She is the niece of the director of Tang Jiao Hospital. I just accompanied her to look at watches today."
Old Lady Xia: "It's okay. Why are you so close? Are you flirting? I'll report you to the police and they'll charge you with adultery."
Chen Xiangnan was stubborn and said, "We really have nothing to do with each other. I have a wife. How could I possibly mess around?"
Old Lady Xia: "Has Zhao Hui's green hat never been worn by you?"
Chen Xiangnan felt like he had eaten shit when he thought about that incident. His mother knew how to hit him sore, but he was really wronged with this woman. He had only been working in the hospital for a few days. It was impossible for him to get a job through his father-in-law's back door and then hook up with other women. He really went out with her.
Although... although he also has some intention of hooking up, he definitely doesn't want to hook up right now.
He couldn't possibly frame him.
Chen Xiangnan immediately swore to Old Lady Xia that he did not have any affair, but he could clearly see that his mother did not believe him.
Old Lady Xia hooked her finger and asked Chen Xiangnan to bend down and listen to her. Chen Xiangnan was puzzled, but he did it anyway.
"Second brother, I'm going to tell you the truth." Old Mrs. Xia said with a serious expression.
Chen Xiangnan also became serious, "Mom, tell me."
Old Lady Xia: "Actually, you're not my biological child. You're so clever and smart, and it's obvious you're not your father's or mine, right?"
Chen Xiangnan was shocked. His mother's eyes were too serious. But this incident really shocked him too much. For a moment, he didn't know whether to believe it or not. "What? Mom, don't lie to me. Then where did I come from?"
Old Lady Xia continued, "Actually, you were born by a dog. Don't call me mom anymore. Find a dog to be your real mom."
After saying this, Old Lady Xia no longer had the heart to buy clothes, so she turned around and left. Chen Xiangnan stayed there motionless.
His mother would rather he was born by a dog than admit that he was her own son. Chen Xiangnan didn't know what to feel in his heart, he always felt that his mother was getting further and further away from him.
The woman behind saw the old lady leave, then came forward to ask, but Chen Xiangnan did not reveal any information.
Chen Xiangbei was left behind by Old Lady Xia to take care of Xia Yu'e today. It was getting late and his mother had not come back yet. Chen Xiangbei was as hungry as a dog. Thinking that his aunt was asleep, he decided to go out and look for his mother. Maybe his mother would buy him something delicious to reward him because she saw how hard he worked.
But not long after he left, he saw his second brother walking on the side of the road with a woman. That woman was not his second sister-in-law, so... his dog followed the two of them all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, and he didn't even feel hungry.
But when he was about to follow him in, he found that his mother had gone in straight away. Thinking of the family war that might happen later, the evil mother fighting against the cheating second brother, Chen Xiangbei really wanted to go in and watch.
But then he thought again, when his mother divorced his father, she was very dissatisfied with all of their children. If he went to jail, what if his mother's anger towards his second brother extended to him, then his work today would be in vain. Chen Xiangbei calculated this clearly in his mind, it was not worth it.
So he squatted on the street opposite the supply and marketing cooperative, waiting for them to come out.
No matter who comes out, he can find out the news anyway, and that's enough.
Sure enough, his mother came out after a while. Although the time was a little short, the pain is long, so Chen Xiangbei thought that his second brother had suffered a lot.
"Mom, you must be tired. Let me take you home." Chen Xiangbei stepped forward attentively. He was a filial son.
