Chapter 213 Get Out
Yao Shu pulled Mingli aside and said, "The threshold of my house is almost broken by those marriage proposals. This Achai is considered the best among them. He is not bad-looking. His family is in the timber business and has a little money. He is also a bit famous here and has connections in both the black and white worlds. As for his character! Any normal man here is like that, so don't expect others to be any better. At least it can be seen that he really wants to live with your mother. Your mother has agreed. If not for yourself, but for your mother and your younger brothers and sisters, you should recognize him as your father!"
Mingli: "My mother is deaf and dumb and has no idea what you mean. Besides, my biological father is not dead yet. There is no way my mother will agree to your marriage."
Achai got anxious when he heard this: "I've also learned about this. Your father was captured by drug traffickers to grow poppies and there's no way he can come back. Drug traffickers use drugs to control them and prevent them from leaving. Even if he does get out, he'll definitely be unable to bear the torment of drugs and go back again soon. Once you're addicted to that kind of stuff, it's basically impossible to quit. Then you'll be the ones who suffer. You'd better forget about your father and live a good life with me as a family! I swear I won't treat you badly."
Mingli: "You guys go, leave quickly, I don't want to see you."
Uncle Yao: "Be sensible. You can't be so selfish. This concerns your mother's lifelong happiness. You are harming her by doing this!"
Achai: "Just think about it again."
Mingli: "Get out of here, I can take care of my mother myself, you don't need to worry about her."
Achai: "Oh, you little ungrateful bastard, how can you be so heartless? If it weren't for Uncle Yao's kindness in taking you and your children back to the village, you kids would have starved to death on the streets, and your mother would have had to pick up clients and engage in the flesh trade. Now we are living here with good food and clothing, and you actually want to drive us away. It's your blessing that I like your mother and want to marry her in a formal way. I tell you, it's best if you agree to this, but it doesn't matter if you don't. Your mother will be mine sooner or later. It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not, you will be my son sooner or later."
Mingli was no longer in the mood to deal with them, so he pushed and shoved them out.
After being pushed out of the door, Achai still shouted in front of the door: "Why are you so stubborn? It's raining and my mother is getting married. What can you do?"
His shouting attracted the neighbors to come and watch. Uncle Yao was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he quickly pulled him aside and said, "Mingli, this kid might just be having a momentary bout of depression. Why don't we go first and give them some time to talk it over."
Achai thought what he heard made sense. Seeing that he would not be able to win the beauty tonight, he could only endure it temporarily and leave with his uncle.
After hiding behind the crack of the door and watching everyone slowly leave, Mingli sat down at the dinner table in a huff.
Jun Lan looked around the room before she dared to sit down and ask, "Mingli, what did Uncle Yao and that man say just now that made you so angry that you drove them both away?"
Mingli still looked furious. He angrily asked Junlan, "Can't you live without a man? Didn't you hear on the boat that your uncle was still alive? It's only been so long since he left you, why are you so eager to get married?"
Jun Lan: "Who said I'm going to get married? I belong to Yang Ning in life and will be his ghost in death. Even if he really dies, I will remain a widow for him all my life. Are you satisfied now?"
Mingli knew that her tone was a bit too harsh, so she lowered her head and said, "Mom, do you like that uncle just now?"
Jun Lan: "Of course I don't like him. He always looks at me with lustful eyes. I only have you, Uncle Yang Ning, in my heart. I don't even look at anyone else."
Mingli: "But Uncle Yao said you agreed to their marriage proposal."
Jun Lan: "Bullshit, I didn't say anything or promise them anything."
Mingli realized that this was just a misunderstanding, and also clearly understood Junlan's position and intentions.
Mingli: "Mom, from now on, when you don't know what people are saying, don't smile or nod casually. Doing so will easily lead to misunderstandings."
Jun Lan: "I understand."
Mingli pointed at the white orchid on Junlan's head and asked, "Why are you wearing this?"
Jun Lan: "Today, my neighbor, the fat aunt, picked up a lot of flowers and put them on my hair. She probably meant that all the women around here dress like this, so she wanted to dress me up a little bit, too!"
Mingli went over, took the flower from Junlan's head and threw it out the window: "Mom, I know you love beauty, but we are living under someone else's roof now, so we can't be too ostentatious about anything."
Jun Lan: "Okay, I'll listen to you, okay?"
Mingli: "I don't think that Achai who came to our house today will give up so easily. I won't go to school for the time being. I will stay at home to watch over you."
The next day, Achai came to visit their family with bags full of stuff.
Achai smiled and said to Mingli, "Son, aren't you going to school today?"
Mingli ignored him. He walked up to Junlan and said, "Did you feed the queen in your arms today?" Although Junlan didn't know what he meant, she had no good face for him since she knew that he had ill intentions towards her.
Achai thought she was just shy, so he became even bolder and tried to touch her hand. "Mummy's hands are so white and tender, you don't look like someone from the countryside here. That's the hard life you and your son have gone through. Why don't you come back to Yangon with me to enjoy the good life and be served by others?"
Jun Lan had been displeased with his lecherous look yesterday, but she couldn't get angry because Uncle Yao was there. Now she couldn't believe that this lecher dared to flirt with her in front of her son. When she thought about how she was taught a lesson by Mingli yesterday, Jun Lan became angry.
She slapped Achai in the face. Achai was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
After a while, he felt that this was Jun Lan sending him a signal of love, saying "beating is love, scolding is care."
He took Jun Lan's hand and slapped his face repeatedly: "Since you can't speak, then brother is thick-skinned and dumb sister, you can hit me as much as you want, so that brother can know your feelings."
Mingli: "How shameless! You refused to give up last time and now you're still pestering my mom. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few bucks in your hand."
Ah Chai: "My child, you are still young and you don't understand the matter of love. Your mother and I are truly in love."
Mingli: "Shameless thing."
He picked up the knife and put it on Achai's neck: "If you want my mother to marry you, then you have to die. If you die, I will let her marry your tablet."
Achai: "Mingli, are you crazy? If I die, won't your mother be a widow again? There is no better man than me within a hundred miles. Can you really bear to let your mother cry like this? Not every woman can endure such a life of staying alone in her boudoir and shedding tears."
Mingli: "You horny idiot, get out of here or I'll leave your offspring behind."
