Chapter 314: Cursing
The sudden ringing of the cell phone was like a bomb dropped into the silent air, blowing everything to pieces with a "bang".
Song Cun shuddered with shock, almost trembling as he reached for his phone. The lit screen displayed: "Mom is calling."
She hurriedly picked up the phone and glanced at Liang Zhouheng, "I'll take a call first."
He raised his chin and spoke with a voice that was a little bitter, "Take it first."
Song Cun pressed the answer button, put the phone close to his ear, and responded, "Mom, is there something wrong?"
"Do you still remember that you have a mother like me? I thought you had already regarded me as dead."
Her mother was used to speaking harshly to her, and Song Cun was accustomed to it. However, she was afraid that Liang Zhouheng would hear these words, so she had to stand up from the chair, point to the bedroom and the cell phone, and mouthed to Liang Zhouheng that she was going to the bedroom to make the call.
Liang Zhouheng's face was indifferent, and he smiled slightly at her cautious look. He couldn't help but open his mouth and told her with his mouth, "I'll wait for you."
A blush quickly appeared on Song Cun's cheeks. Fortunately, the light was dim and he couldn't see it. She quickly turned around and slipped into the bedroom.
On the phone, her mother hadn't heard her response for a long time, and she was obviously getting angrier. "Are you dumb? You don't even want to talk to me now, right? 22 years ago today, if I had known I had raised an ungrateful person, I would never have risked my life to give birth to you. Song Cun, you've disappointed me so much."
Every word her mother said was cold and hard, like stabbing her with an ice pick, and she didn't care at all whether she, as a daughter, was hurt or not.
Song Cun endured the pain in her heart and asked her mother, "Mom, can you please stop saying such things? Can you just tell me what I did wrong?"
"What's wrong? Do I need to tell you directly? You're a top student, but have you become stupid? Even a three-year-old understands this, do you still need me to remind you?"
Song Cun then realized that what her mother hadn't said was probably "A son's birthday is a mother's hard day." Her mother was blaming her for not calling her today.
But on this day in previous years, she had called her mother, but her mother always scolded her, "Don't bother with this nonsense. If you have the time, you'd better study more."
She never made that kind of call again after that.
Song Cun: "Don't you dislike me calling you on your birthday?"
"Can a phone call be eaten or worn as clothing? What's the point of asking you to make a phone call? I've raised you for nothing. You only know how to celebrate your birthday and eat delicious food, but why do you care about the life and death of your father and me? Do you know what your father and I had for dinner today? We had a big pot of food at the construction site!"
The more her mother spoke, the more enthusiastic she became. When Song Cun heard about the big pot of food, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. An indescribable sense of guilt instantly buried her. "Why did you go to the construction site again? Didn't you say that the work there is too tiring? Dad's back is not good, so he can't do heavy work anymore."
"Hmph, if we don't work, what will happen? Will the whole family starve? If we don't go out to work, how will the family pay for your education all these years? You still remember that your father has a bad back. If you had any filial piety, could you bear to watch the two of us drag our broken bodies out to work again? You earn so much money a month, but you don't send a penny home. Your brother asked you for a better phone, but you just bought him a cheap one from the Internet and gave it to him. He can't even hold his head up at school!"
"How could I have given birth to such a heartless person like you!"
Her mother simply yelled at her.
