Xiao Xueyi opened several wardrobes, only to find that most of Shi Tou's clothes were patched or too small to fit properly, which deepened his resentment towards himself.
"Mom, I came back today just to get some clothes for the child. I don't have time to explain so much to you. You've lived half your life and done a lot of foolish things, but you are my mother. I don't blame you for things that affect me. It's just that Shitou is just a child."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I can't make the same mistake again. I know it's not easy for you. After you go back to the countryside, I will send you a fixed amount of money every month to make sure you can live well there. In addition, I will take ten days off every year to go home and be by your side to take care of you. That's all I can give you."
Yang Suxian quickly walked around to him and grabbed his sleeve with one hand: "You unfilial son, do you know what you're saying? I promise you, I will take good care of Shitou from now on, okay? If I go back, who will take care of the child who was just discharged from the hospital? He is my own grandson. I just complained a few times. Do you think I would really harm him?"
Looking at Yang Suxian's face, Xiao Xueyi felt even more complicated emotions.
He originally thought he would have a happy family, but he never expected it to end like this.
"Who knows what will happen in the future? You may not have done it yourself, but Shitou is still your grandson, my only son. Before, he and his widow had to take care of your daily life and worry about whether I would get hurt on the front line. Mom, I am the son you gave birth to. No one owes you anything except me."
Xiao Xueyi closed his eyes, unwilling to explain any further to her.
"In short, you don't need to worry about taking care of the child. I already have a suitable person here. Your train ticket is for 12 noon tomorrow. Before you leave, I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant. If you need anything at home in the future, just call my workplace. You don't need to bother anyone else except me."
Actually, he should have said these things clearly a long time ago, but he always felt that since they were family, it wouldn't hurt their harmony.
At this point, there's no point in worrying about saving face anymore. Even for the sake of his child, he has to stand up for himself. Even if the person on the other end is his mother, he absolutely cannot compromise.
“Son, you are the child I carried for ten months. I was pregnant when I gave birth to you. You are my only child. Many people in the village say that I am just a hen that lays one egg, but I have never cared. I raised you. Now you have such a good job and you have children. You don’t want your children to treat you like this in the future, do you?”
Xiao Xueyi looked at her coldly: "But when I get older, I won't do something like what you did. I believe Shi Tou will have his own reasons. My dad used to say that you were cold-blooded and selfish, but I thought he was just saying that in anger."
He paused, looking at the unreasonable woman in front of him with disappointment: "When Wang Shu was still alive, she always took care of the family. She never wronged you in anything she did, but you ordered her around, bullied her, and never treated her as a daughter-in-law. Instead, you treated her like an old maid. Even so, she never complained about you. I heard all this at my fifth aunt's house after she passed away."
Whenever he thought about these things, Xiao Xueyi felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
Ren Wangshu never enjoyed a single day of happiness or a good life with him. Just when her little family was getting better and better, she fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving behind only a small stone.
