Miao Cuihua was actually grasping at straws in her desperation, thinking that young people would have more in common with her son and could encourage him.
Seeing her heartbroken expression, Luo Yunhang softened slightly.
"Sister Miao, don't be sad. I... but there's nothing I can do!" You have to figure this out yourself.
"You're amazing! As the old saying goes, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black.' You're so outstanding in every way. If I'm with you, I'll surely learn something. At the very least, I won't end up gambling."
This is the third time this month that they've asked me for money. It's not that I can't afford it, I just can't let my son become a useless person.
Please consider me your aunt. I will do my best to help you with anything in the future.
"I have complete confidence in you. Do whatever you want with him, just spare his life."
Miao Cuihua seemed to be referring not to her son, but to a cat or dog.
"Then, shall I give it a try?" He happened to be a little less busy lately, and it was something he could do on the spur of the moment. He wanted to see just how troublesome Hao Dong was.
"Don't bother trying. You can take him away now. Remember, don't give him a single penny. I'll cover all his expenses." Miao Cuihua got up and dragged Hao Dong in by the ear.
"Starting today, you will follow Yunhang. You can come back whenever the transformation is complete."
I'll talk to your dad and make sure you don't run back halfway. Otherwise, you won't get any more pocket money.
"What? I'm not going!" Hao Dong didn't expect that the result of their discussion would still be that he had to go.
"Hao Dong, let's go. You'll stay with me for now." Luo Yunhang picked up his things and stood up.
"Mom, I don't want to go, I don't want to go, I won't gamble, okay?" Hao Dong pleaded like a child.
Miao Cuihua slapped him on the head: "Hurry up and keep up. Otherwise you'll never get pocket money."
"Fine, I'll go, okay?" Hao Dong knew the matter was settled and reluctantly followed Luo Yunhang.
Luo Yunhang hasn't visited his parents since he came back. He plans to go to the courtyard house near the processing workshop first.
"Get in the car!" Luo Yunhang started the car, while Hao Dong stood outside like a wooden statue, motionless.
"You didn't open the car door for me!" Hao Dong said arrogantly.
Luo Yunhang rolled his eyes. What kind of spoiled brat has this? He needs to be disciplined.
He rolled down the car window and said, "If you don't get in the car when I count to three, you'll have to walk to catch up with me."
"One, two..."
Hao Dong opened the passenger door in a huff, got in, and slammed the door shut in a fit of rage.
"Don't you have long arms now?" Luo Yunhang glanced at him.
Hao Dong used to have someone open the car door for him. Miao Cuihua and his biological father were both rich and well-off, so they naturally spoiled him.
"..." Hao Dong turned his head away, not wanting to talk to him.
"Sit tight, we're off." Luo Yunhang
Regardless of whether he answers or not.
"You clearly didn't want to take me, so why did you agree to my mom's request? Did my mom give you money? You hypocrite!" After sitting for a while, Hao Dong finally spoke his first words after getting into the car.
"Parents all over the world have the same heart. I didn't want to raise you, this giant baby. The reason I agreed was indeed for some personal reasons, but it wasn't for money."
"Didn't your mother tell you? Half of Biyun Pavilion belongs to me. You think I'm short of money?" Luo Yunhang laughed as he drove.
Hao Dong never expected that Luo Yunhang was actually his mother's formidable business partner.
For a moment, I felt like I didn't want to talk.
They remained silent the entire way.
Luo Yunhang drove to the courtyard house.
The door was open, and the two walked in. Before they even entered, their voices could be heard.
"Tao Tao, it's me, Mom! You forgot? Tian Tian, you've grown so much, come here and let Mom see you." It was a middle-aged woman's voice.
Yue Tian was so frightened that she ran straight into Luo Yunhang's grandmother's arms.
"Grandma, I'm scared, I don't know her." Children speak without thinking. When Yue Tian was three years old, the woman ran away, so she couldn't remember her mother at all.
All her memories are now tied to this house, and all her recollections are related to the Luo family. She considers herself a child of the Luo family.
Grandma gently pulled her into her arms.
Yue Tao recognized his mother. When she left, Yue Tao was already grown up and had memories, and he remembered what his mother looked like.
But he was like an ostrich, burying his head in his own business and ignoring her.
Grandma was also in a dilemma. Just then, Luo Yunhang came in, and her savior arrived. She quickly said, "Hanghang, what a mess this is! This girl suddenly came over and insisted that these two children are her children, but neither of the children recognizes her."
When the woman saw Luo Yunhang, she rolled her eyes and had an idea.
She rushed over: "Are you Luo Yunhang, the one mentioned in the newspaper? I'm Yue Tao and Yue Tian's mother. Thank you so much for taking care of the two children during this time. I'm back now."
From what she's saying, does she not want to take the child with her?
Luo Yunhang said calmly, "You say you're a mother of two, how can you prove it? They don't seem to know you."
"Proof...what proof do I need? I am a mother of two!"
"Your opinion doesn't count; the child's opinion does."
The woman panicked and quickly grabbed Yue Tao, saying, "Tao Tao, tell them, who am I?"
Yue Tao's eyes turned red with anxiety, but he refused to speak.
The woman raised her hand as if to spank him.
Luo Yunhang stopped her, pushed the woman away, and pulled Yue Tao into his arms.
"You're really strange. Are you trying to force a confession out of me? Little Fatty, don't worry, I'll stand up for you." Even Hao Dong, who was watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore.
Yue Tao felt Luo Yunhang's warm and firm embrace, and heard Hao Dong's protective words, which gave him courage.
“You’re not my mother! My mother is dead. I haven’t had a mother for two years,” Yue Tao said through gritted teeth.
After saying this, he burst into tears: "How could a mother abandon her own child? I'm grown up and can survive on my own. My sister is still so young, how could you be so heartless as to abandon her? What kind of mother are you?"
The two hundred yuan compensation Dad received from the construction site—you didn't leave us a single penny. Do you know how I survived?
Every day before dawn, I would go out to collect garbage to earn money to buy food for my sister. I would pick up food and drinks that others didn't want, and the spoiled food I ate gave me diarrhea every day.
I've endured all this time, and finally, things are starting to look up, so why are you coming back? I'd rather I didn't have a mother! I'd rather you were dead!
"From the day you left us, I told myself, I don't have a mother anymore!" Yue Tao finally shouted these words in Luo Yunhang's arms.
The adults were all heartbroken and felt quite distressed.
Grandma, Luo Yunhang, and Hao Dong all felt a pang of heartache for this poor child.
His words expressed his grievances and the hardships he had endured along the way.
His mother, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, and even said angrily, "You child, why are you cursing me to die! I'm back now, aren't I?"
