At this moment, if I don't stand up, how much pain will my second brother suffer?
no.
I should continue to insist that it was not my second brother's fault, even if it means being criticized by my mother and causing dissatisfaction among my other brothers.
I cannot let my second brother continue to suffer such injustice.
"Mother, I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with my second brother, so please stop bringing it up."
"What are you saying? At a time like this, you're still trying to shirk responsibility for him," Zhang Yufeng scolded angrily.
"I..." Wang Tianxiao didn't want to listen anymore after hearing this.
It's pointless.
Whether it's the mother or the brothers, everyone in this family has their own standpoint.
When positions do not conflict and influence each other, a brief period of harmony and balance may be maintained. But once a storm breaks out, someone will always be pushed out to take the blame or be kicked out.
It's really meaningless.
He pushed Wang Tianyi aside, walked around his mother, sat down on the other side of the bed, looked at his mother's face, and said calmly, "So, Mother, what do you want to do with me? Do you want me to shave my head off and put it in your lap as an apology?"
Zhang Yufeng looked up in shock at Wang Tianxiao.
"What did you say?"
"Second brother, how can you talk to Mother like that?"
"Yes, Second Brother, speak properly, sometimes it's easier to talk things out."
"You made a mistake and you still act tough. You're really something. When the boss isn't home, you're the toughest one."
The two sisters-in-law and two brothers spoke words that seemed to include advice, warnings, and reprimands, but between the lines, they all regarded themselves as the culprit.
Wang Tianxiao ignored everyone else and continued looking at his mother, saying calmly, "Isn't that right, Mother? You'd rather give your son a fabricated charge than believe what Lao Wu said. Wouldn't that have already sentenced me to death? What else do you expect me to do? Should I kneel before you, like when I was a child, holding a thorn branch and saying, 'Mother, I was wrong, hit me, hit me hard!'"
Wang Tianxiao's expression turned grim as he finished speaking.
He suddenly remembered that he had lived two lives, yet he still couldn't resolve his relationship with his mother; he felt like a complete failure.
Which child wouldn't want to reconcile with their mother?
Even if a mother has a thousand unfair things to say, she still carried you for ten months, brought you into this world, and raised you with love and care.
He could no longer remember the taste of breast milk, but the taste of his mother in his memory was always wonderful.
Therefore, he could get angry directly at others, and even resort to physical violence, but he still wanted to be dutiful and responsible towards his mother, fulfilling his duties as a child.
Can.
Things didn't go as planned.
It is impossible for one person to do something well on their own, something that requires the joint efforts of two people.
His mother always harbored prejudice against him.
Even he didn't know why this prejudice arose.
He always took great care of the family and was always filial to his mother. He was never afraid of hard work at home and always thought of his family when he was working outside.
Why is it that all that enthusiasm is wasted, like a donkey's liver and lungs?
Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes.
Even with a lifetime of wisdom, he still couldn't solve this problem.
It seems the only solution is to continue distancing ourselves, but to cut ties even more thoroughly than before.
Zhang Meifeng stared in shock at her second son, whom she remembered as honest, simple, and somewhat stubborn. If Wang Tianxiao's move away from the pit-house was a gentle breeze to her, then his current actions and words were like a raging storm.
The sudden outburst made her lips tremble, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Wang Tianxiao, however, persisted, saying, "This matter concerning Lao Wu is my problem, so what do you want to do? What can you do to me?"
"Second brother, how can you talk to Mother like that? Stop it!" Wang Tianyi hurriedly stopped him from behind.
"Oh, really?" Wang Tianxiao looked at his hypocritical younger brother and said indifferently, "Then you tell me. You're very good at talking, aren't you? We've given you a stage to perform on, so tell me, what are you trying to do with this?"
"I……"
The kind of person Wang Tianyi fears most is direct confrontation. If you try to be nonchalant with him, he can go on and on for ages, trying to find a way to negotiate. But if you're straightforward and don't give him time to think, he'll immediately lose his mind.
“Tiancheng was with me in the mountains. If something happened, I naturally bear inescapable responsibility, you can say that. But if you want to use this to suppress me, I cannot accept it.”
Wang Tianxiao patted Wang Tiancheng on the shoulder and continued, "To put it simply, Tiancheng needs to have surgery on his leg. I asked the doctor, and it will probably cost two or three thousand yuan."
She glanced at everyone with a cold smile, "Now, apart from Tianxin being young and my eldest brother not being here, everyone else is here, including you, Mother. So, shall we discuss how to raise the medical expenses?"
The moment money was mentioned, everyone's expression changed.
Words are easy to say, but money is the real deal.
