Hearing her son's slightly cold words, the cow mother panicked for the first time. However, for her own sake and her dignity as a mother, she stiffened her neck and shouted like a rooster ready to fight, "When I gave birth to you, I almost died in childbirth. I raised you with so much care and care, and this is how you treat me now?!"
As she spoke, she slapped her thigh and jumped around: "Everyone in this courtyard is a teacher. Look at this, how can there be such a heartless child?!"
I've provided for him since he was a child, feeding him and dressing him. After they had children, I even helped them take care of their kids. And now, during the Lunar New Year, they want to kick me out?
"Why doesn't God strike this heartless bastard dead?!"
She shouted loudly, and the cowherd inside the house paced anxiously in circles.
But they dared not go out, only daring to peek at the outside scene through the crack in the window!
Several families lived in this courtyard. Hearing the commotion, they all came out: "Liye, what's going on?"
"Why are you arguing during the Chinese New Year?"
As more and more people gathered to watch, the cow's cries grew louder.
Niu Liye took a deep breath, his anger barely contained: "Mom, haven't you made enough of a scene?"
Since you're going to argue this point with me today, let's have a proper discussion!
From the time I started university, I sent 10 yuan home every month for the first few months, and 30 yuan home every month for the second year!
When we don't have classes at school, Guihua and I do odd jobs. Why do you think that is?
The cow mother's arrogance subsided considerably, but she was still unconvinced: "What's the use? Can money buy off parents' feelings?"
Seeing that she was still ruining her reputation, Niu Liye knew that if he didn't make things clear at this time, his children might not have any playmates in the yard, and the mole aunt's family would be gossiped about.
After all, these teachers value children's education the most, and they believe that children are all influenced by their own genes!
In other words, if a family sends their child to school, the tree can stand straight; but if they don't send them to school, what will the elders in the family be like? And what will the child be like?!
At this point, people should think twice before their children come into contact with them!
Niu Liye clenched his fingers: "Mom, the year I took the college entrance exam, what did you say when I brought Guihua home?"
You said you were taking care of my brother's family's children and didn't have time to help me!
Okay, I understand that. I didn't force you to come!
But you never thought that we were both sent-down youths, our parents couldn't help us at all, and we had to go to school. How were we supposed to take care of two children?
I never considered our difficulties. I begged and pleaded with you and Dad to send one of you to help!
In the end, none of you were willing!
It was Aunt Liu who sold her job to help us take care of our children!
Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today!
But what was the first thing you did after you arrived?
Do you really think I don't know?
Niu Mu's legs went weak. She was usually a very proud person, and the reason she came to Beijing this time was because the people in her family compound were praising her, saying that her son and daughter-in-law were both college graduates and that their future prospects were immeasurable!
"He must be doing very well in Beijing," Niu Mu thought, before packing her bags and heading over here.
Of course, there is one special case: the eldest son's family got divorced, and he remarried. The new wife demanded that he have a job before she would marry his son!
The cow mother had no choice but to hand over her work to her daughter-in-law!
The father of the cow was injured some time ago and has been recuperating. The factory has also handed over the work to temporary workers!
That's how I had time to accompany her to Beijing.
Seeing the whispers and scrutinizing looks directed at her, Niu's mother blushed deeply, but she still forced herself to say, "Niu Liye, just because someone has taken care of your child for a few years, you think she's a good person?"
What if I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you every drop of urine?
Thinking about you four siblings, I have to work and take care of your food and drink. Don't I have a hard time?
How come I've become a sinner in your eyes now?
A middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him tugged at Niu Liye's arm: "Liye, your mother may have been wrong in some ways, but she's right about one thing: she raised you with great difficulty."
"It's the Lunar New Year, and if we let them go back, it won't look good for either of you!"
The old man meant well, thinking that Niu Liye was young and impetuous, and that some of his words could be very hurtful if they were actually said!
Unexpectedly, Niu Liye sneered: "You were raised by my older brother and younger brother, while I was raised by my grandparents!"
If my grandparents hadn't passed away, I would never have been brought to live with you!
If they hadn't left me some money before they passed away, enough to pay for my high school education, I don't know what my life would be like now!
Besides, when I was sent to the countryside, I had already passed the exam for a job. You said that my younger brother was too young to endure the hardships of rural life and asked me to give up my job to him, saying that I grew up in the countryside and would definitely be able to adapt to this kind of environment!
From childhood to adulthood, I've spent very little of your money; you've devoted all your energy to them, so don't try to blackmail me with that statement now!
Dear uncles and aunts, you don't need to persuade me. You've all seen how that old lady with the mole has treated my child during the year or two she's been here!
If I don't take care of them in their old age, it would be against all reason and morality.
I despise myself. My mother not only berated them, but also told them not to come over again.
As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public," but today, I have to say these things!
Everyone gasped: "How did this happen?"
"That's right! I always thought your mother was so kind and gentle, I never imagined she was like this!"
Amidst the voices of a group of adults, the voices of a few children were also heard: "This grandma also said that Niu Niu is a burden, and that she is a wretched girl!"
She even took Niu Niu's New Year's money! Niu Niu has cried countless times in secret!
"That's right, she even sent away all the clothes that Grandma Liu made for Niu Niu!"
Niu Liye turned around abruptly: "Is what Little Fatty said true???"
Niu's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dared not look Niu Liye in the eye: "A girl has more clothes in the house than she can wear. I saw that the clothes were too small, so I sent them to your brother's child to wear!"
What's wrong? Shouldn't you two brothers help each other out?
Her favoritism really extended to Niu Liye. He always felt that no matter how his mother treated him, she had given birth to him after all, and he should tolerate some things as long as he could!
But he couldn't stand his mother treating his child like that!
