Her gray hair was combed neatly. Although she didn't wear it in a bun, she tied it up with a rubber band so it wasn't messy.
Su Jin looked back at Shen Mingli and Shen Ji'an, nodded and said: "With sons and daughters-in-law like you, Ms. Zhong is also a blessed person."
Hearing this, the two brothers were not brave enough to accept it.
Hearing the sound of talking, Zhong Pingting opened her eyes.
She didn't recognize Su Jin for a moment.
After a long while, Zhong Pingting asked hesitantly, "Are you...Su Jin?"
If you count carefully, this is the second time Zhong Pingting has met Su Jin.
The last time we met was on the day the Shen Family Ancestral Hall was completed, which was eighteen years ago.
At that time, they were both in good health, unlike now.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhong Pingting wanted to sit up, but as soon as she stood up, she started coughing again.
Shen Mingli skillfully picked up the basin next to him and placed it in front of Zhong Pingting.
Zhong Pingting didn't rest until she coughed out the thick, bloody phlegm in her stomach.
After coughing for a while, Zhong Pingting's face was as white as a candle.
She fell on the bed resignedly, tears streaming down her face as she choked out her words, "The last thing I want to admit in my life is that I'm worse than you."
"So I tried very hard to educate my two children..."
"In fact, when the eldest brother first met me, he didn't like to talk much and was always hiding away to wipe away his tears."
"One time he had a fever and called out for his mother in his dream. I knew then that the child couldn't let go of you. Because he kept calling me mother."
"But he's just a child. He has to live by the thumb of others and in front of me. He knows that his stepmother is difficult to get along with and is afraid of offending me, so he can only try every possible way to please me."
Su Jin listened expressionlessly.
After Zhong Pingting finished speaking, she said, "It's true that he wanted to please you, but it's also true that he slandered me. If there's anything wrong with that child, it's that he shouldn't be Shen Zhenkun's child."
Su Jin sat down on the stool, picked up Zhong Pingting's wrist and began to feel her pulse. She said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm willing to treat you because I don't want to make things difficult for Chen He."
"Although I have no grudge against you, you have ruined my child's life and allowed the couple to abandon Chen He."
"In my opinion, you, Zhong Pingting, are not a good person either."
Zhong Pingting was stunned by Su Jin's straightforwardness.
She didn't say anything more afterwards.
After taking the pulse, Su Jin said, "Let me tell you a joke."
Zhong Pingting was stunned. "What a joke?"
Su Jin said, "Your lung cancer is probably caused by breathing too much secondhand smoke."
Zhong Pingting was almost frozen to death by this cold joke.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Shen Zhenkun, that old dog!"
