Chapter 37 You can pretend I’m not your mother!



Lin Guodong squatted on the bed and grabbed a few of her hairs. He looked up at her and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about the past. You and Xiaoyu should go home. Let's live a good life as a family and stop making fun of us!"

"Heh..." Li Shuping sneered.

This Lin Guodong found out that he had wronged someone, but he just ignored it and didn't even mention what happened in the past, not even a word of apology.

She said angrily, "You have made it very clear that you will not go back. Do you think that you divorced your father and took Xiaoyu away from that home because you were throwing a tantrum with your father and waiting for your father to bow down to you and ask you to go back first?"

"In fact, I divorced your father not just because of him. I saw through your father and you two brothers. I don't see any respect or care for you as a mother, and I don't want to spend half my life on you."

Lin Guodong frowned, "When did they disrespect you?"

"When will you respect me?" Li Shuping asked back.

"..." Lin Guodong opened his mouth but could not give an example.

Li Shuping, however, could give an example. "Not to mention the distant past, let's say half a month ago, while preparing things for your brother's wedding, I was taking care of Junjun. When Junjun was playing with other children in the yard, he accidentally fell and scraped his knee, but there was no blood at all."

"When your wife came back and saw you, she asked you what happened. You said it was normal for children to bump into things. What did your wife say?"

"She pointed at 놖's nose and said 놖 was shameful. What's the point of living if you can't even take care of a child!"

"Your wife said so much that I couldn't even lift my head. I wanted you to say a few words for me. What about you?"

"You said with a sullen face that taking care of a child is useless. You can't take care of a child well at home!"

Lam Kwok Tung: "Originally it was..."

"Didn't you take good care of Junjun?" Li Shuping interrupted him, "You transferred the work to the second child, so you are only taking care of Junjun at home?"

"Don't you need to buy things for your brother's wedding? Don't you need to take care of the house? Don't you need to wash clothes? Don't you need to cook? Do you need to keep an eye on Junjun 24 hours a day?"

"You are helping you and Zhang Jiao take care of the child. The child is born to you and Zhang Jiao, not You. Even if the child fell, it was Your negligence. Shouldn't you be more polite to an elder who helps you take care of the child?"

"You and Zhang Jiao scolded me like a grandson. You have no gratitude or respect for me at all! It's like scolding a babysitter who takes care of your children!"

"You have to pay a nanny to take care of the children, and you didn't pay her!" She paid for all the food and supplies!

Lin Guodong couldn't find any words to refute, because from the beginning to the end he felt that it was the grandmother's duty to take care of her grandson.

Zhang Jiao's words at the time were indeed a bit harsh, but that was also because she, as a mother, loved her child too much.

Those things he and Zhang Jiao said were just nonsense, but my mother kept them in mind and was too petty to hold it against two juniors.

"Mom, you're too fussy." Lin Guodong muttered softly.

"Why do you care?" Li Shuping shook her head speechlessly.

This is the man of the Lin family. He will never admit that he has problems and will always blame others.

"Forget it, I won't waste my breath on you. Go away. Our two families will live our own lives from now on and I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, Li Shuping was about to go back.

"Mom." Lin Guodong called her, "I'm here to invite you back today. I'm giving you a way out. If you miss this opportunity, no one will invite you back in the future. Think about it yourself. Is it better to go back now or go back to beg Dad in shame later?"

Li Shuping sneered, "That's great."

Lin Guodong's eyes twitched, thinking that she was just being stubborn.

"There will be no chance in the future! If you want to go back, even if you beg Dad, he may not agree."

Li Shuping stretched out her hand, "Let go, you're not that cheap, begging to jump into the fire pit again."

Lin Guodong: “…”

How did their family become such a hell? Her words were so harsh.

"Do you have anything else to fart? If not, go home. It's very cold at night." A gust of wind blew, and Li Shuping shrank her neck because of the cold.

Lin Guodong's face was full of black lines, "Don't set up your stall tomorrow."

"No," Li Shuping said, "I want to do it, I love to do it, and I will do it every day in the future."

Lin Guodong: "Don't you think about your second brother? If relatives, friends and other relatives knew that you have a mother who runs a street stall, how can you face people!"

"Why should I think about you?" Li Shuping asked, "Have you ever thought about this mother? If you think it's shameful to have a mother who sells things on the street, you can just pretend that this mother doesn't exist."

Lin Guodong frowned, "Aren't you afraid that you and Lao Er will really disown you in the future?"

He felt that his mother would be scared if he said this, after all, she would still depend on him and the second son for her retirement.

Li Shuping was not afraid. "Whether you acknowledge me or not, when I turn 60, you have to give me alimony every month. If you don't, I will sue you in court."

She gave birth to them, raised them up, and helped them get married. The two brothers should provide for her in her old age.

Of course, her parents would not live with them, but the maintenance fee was not small.

Lin Guodong's eyes widened. She was going to sue him and Lao Er?

Li Shuping turned and walked away in Lin Guodong's shocked gaze.

Lin Guodong walked into the house with his head down. Lin Yong, who had been looking outside the door to see if he had returned, said proudly, "Go and persuade your mother to come back. She will definitely be very happy, right?"

"Will she pack up and move back with Xiaoyu tomorrow? The furniture in their room seems pretty good, so we can replace the bed and cabinets in her room and hers. The desk can be placed in the living room for Junjun to use when he goes to school."

Lin Yong has already arranged for Li Shuping to move the furniture she bought for her new home.

Lin Jianshe said with a smile: "Brother has given me such a step, I'm sure I'll take advantage of it."

Liu Qin curled her lips. The old woman hadn't apologized to her yet.

If you don't apologize to her and give her a big red envelope when she gets home, don't expect her to call you mom or treat her as her mother-in-law.

Fortunately, the day after tomorrow, Saturday, she would take a day off from the supply and marketing cooperative and go back to visit Lin Jianshe together. The old lady could prepare a generous gift for the return visit.

They were supposed to return to their parents’ home on the third day after the wedding, but neither the construction factory nor the supply and marketing cooperative gave them leave, so they had to wait until Saturday to return.

Zhang Jiao, who was in the room, heard Lam Kwok Tung coming back and came out holding the child.

"What did your mother say?"

Lin Guodong shouted impatiently: "What do you mean? She won't be so cheap as to jump into the same fire pit twice! If you and Lao Er think it's shameful to have a mother who sells things on the street, they can just pretend she doesn't exist as a mother!"

"She also said that you and the second brother don't recognize her. When she is 60 years old, she still has to pay alimony to her, otherwise you will sue them in court!"

Lin Yong and others were all stunned.

Zhang Jiao came back to her senses and said to Lam Kwok Tung in a bad mood: "Why are you yelling at your mother when you are angry with her? She is not your punching bag!"

Not only does she have to go to work every day, she also has to take care of the children and cook when she gets home. Tonight, Liu Qin deliberately cooked egg and spinach soup because she was so angry that she had no place to vent it.
