Grandma Qiao gave earnest advice for a while before leaving.
An Jingzhi understood what Grandma Qiao said, but the original owner and Tian Caifeng did not.
Otherwise, such a tragedy would not have happened.
Tian Caifeng was in the kitchen listening to Grandma Qiao scolding her in front of her son, and she felt very dissatisfied.
But he didn't dare to go out for the time being, so he hid in the kitchen and muttered to himself.
I guess Grandma Qiao must have said something to her son before, which is why her son has been so indifferent to her these past two days.
Like most people in the village, Grandma Qiao felt very sympathetic towards their family, but most other people had become so disappointed in them that they were too lazy to pay any attention to them.
Only Grandma Qiao would send some vegetables and fruits every now and then.
Those that were not given were like those at Grandma Yu’s house, where the original owner turned a blind eye every time she went to steal some sweet potatoes, vegetables and fruits.
Otherwise, it would be strange that the original owner, a half-grown child alone, could have raised Tian Caifeng, such an irresponsible mother, for so many years.
In the kitchen, Tian Caifeng was thinking while making porridge for herself.
He still had some conscience, so he served himself a bowl and brought another bowl to An Jingzhi who was basking in the sun outside.
An Jingzhi took it with some surprise. He had never thought that Tian Caifeng could actually cook and bring him a portion.
The original owner's memory seemed to indicate that ever since Cui Jiansheng left, he had been responsible for preparing all the meals for the family.
This seemed to be Tian Caifeng's first time cooking.
Tian Caifeng also felt a little emotional, "I haven't done this for many years."
"Mom, did you cook when Dad was around?"
The original owner never mentioned Cui Jiansheng on his own initiative, for fear that Tian Caifeng would become mentally abnormal once Cui Jiansheng was mentioned.
When Tian Caifeng heard An Jingzhi say the man's name so calmly, she was stunned for a moment.
"yes."
"It doesn't taste good." It was just ordinary vegetable porridge with a little bit of salt sprinkled on it. It didn't taste good or bad. An Jingzhi said this on purpose.
"How could that be?" Tian Caifeng took another sip in disbelief. "The vegetable porridge is what I'm best at making. Your father used to love it the most."
"He might be pretending, otherwise why would he leave without mercy as soon as he got the chance." An Jingzhi mercilessly exposed Tian Caifeng's scars.
Tian Caifeng's eyes were filled with sorrow: "No, no."
"Mom, you haven't let go of that man after all these years?"
Tian Caifeng shook her head, her love mind taking over. "You don't understand. You're still young."
"Mom, I'm indeed young, but I know that someone like you will never be able to wait for that man."
"The reason why that man left must be because he met a woman who is better than you. If you become better, he will regret it and come back to you again."
Tian Caifeng placed the bowl of porridge on the small table next to her and held An Jingzhi's shoulders tightly with both hands: "That's why mother wants you to study hard. As long as you study hard, your father will definitely see you and come back to mother."
Like a madman, she kept telling An Jingzhi, "As long as you study hard, we can live happily together as a family."
An Jingzhi frowned: "Mom, you hurt me."
He is no longer like the original owner, who usually endures any pain by himself, thinking that he can move others.
It won't move anyone, and it will only make Tian Caifeng escape from reality even more.
Tian Caifeng looked at her son's painful expression and quickly let go of her hands.
"Are you okay, son? I'm so excited."
I asked her to work hard and make the man regret it, so that she could get something for nothing. I wanted her to work hard.
You wish.
"Mom, do you think I wasn't smart and well-behaved when I was little? I always ranked first in the tests at school, and that man praised me many times."
"Guess why he turned and left without mercy?"
"It's because he looks down on you." An Jingzhi said mercilessly.
There was confusion in Tian Caifeng's eyes, as if she was meeting her son for the first time. He ruthlessly exposed her scars and even sprinkled salt on them. The pain in her heart made her very tormented and a little frightened.
"How could you say that about me?"
An Jingzhi analyzed it seriously with her: "Mom, you have been avoiding reality for so many years, and I have to start taking care of you when you are only five or six years old."
"When you were little, I felt sorry for you. The first time I got burned while cooking, I didn't tell you. It was Grandma Qiao who secretly applied medicine to me."
"I was chopping wood when a branch pricked my foot, and it was Grandma Yu who took me to see a doctor."
"I was already fetching water and chopping firewood for my family when I was less than ten years old. Now I'm fifteen, and my height is much shorter than my peers. I'm not sure if I can grow taller in the future."
"Do you know why I don't study?"
Listening to An Jingzhi recounting the suffering the original owner had endured over the years, Tian Caifeng's eyes flashed with shock, sudden confusion, and pain.
She knew none of this.
It turns out that she is such an irresponsible mother?
I murmured, "Why?" Isn't it because my son can't bear the hardship of studying? Is he ignorant?
"Because I'm shortsighted, I can't see clearly what's written on the blackboard."
"Because I was so busy trying to get you the money for that man's ticket, I didn't even have time to do my homework."
"Because our family doesn't have any extra money, they asked me to get a pair of glasses."
An Jingzhi's tone was very flat.
Hearing this in Tian Caifeng's mind was like a bolt of thunder, causing a huge storm.
The original owner protected her too well. Tian Caifeng knew that her son was working hard, but she didn't know how hard it was.
Or maybe she didn't think about it at all.
