“Wang Shu has been gone for so many years now, but you still have to slander her in front of the child. Mom, I have never said these things to you before, but I just wanted to maintain the dignity between us. But since you don’t want this dignity, then let’s just tear things apart.”
He couldn't completely sever his mother-son relationship with Yang Suxian, especially since he could never repay her for giving birth to him and raising him. The only thing he could do was to let her return to the village and never let her go near the stone again.
When she passes away, he will naturally return to take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days; this will be the last bit of affection between them.
Yang Suxian immediately sat on the ground, kicking her legs and crying out frantically.
"You, you ungrateful wretch who forgets his mother after marrying a wife! Have you forgotten how I raised you with such hardship all by myself? Now, for the sake of a little brat who hasn't even reached adulthood, you want to sever ties with me! Heavens! Why is my life so miserable? You might as well just take me with you!"
Xiao Xueyi's chest heaved violently; he knew all too well what kind of person his mother was.
Hearing the incessant noise from inside the house, Xiao Xueyi clenched his fists tightly—
"Enough!"
The crying stopped abruptly. Yang Suxian's face was still wet with tears. She glanced cautiously at Xiao Xueyi's expression out of the corner of her eye, and lowered her voice a little guiltily.
“Son, everything can be discussed, and I don’t mean to make things difficult for you. But the houses in our village have been built for so many years. These past two years, the rain has been so heavy every summer that it’s impossible to stop it. The houses might collapse next year. I’m an old man with so few bones. Every day I live is one day less. Can’t you do me a favor?”
Her humble voice carried a hint of pleading.
Xiao Xueyi didn't waste any more words with her. He simply opened the wardrobe door with one hand and began to rummage through Yang Suxian's clothes.
"You should think about what you want to bring in advance. I haven't been that thoughtful. If you leave anything here, I'll have to get rid of it."
He stuffed all the things related to Yang Suxian into the nylon bag next to him in one go, his movements clean and efficient, as if he had made up his mind.
Yang Suxian wiped away her tears, her voice hardening: "Fine, you little bastard, you're so stubborn, you're determined to make me go back, aren't you?"
Xiao Xueyi nodded, meeting her gaze without fear, his expression showing no remorse whatsoever.
“If you don’t leave tomorrow, I’ll have to apply to the organization for enforcement. They’ll have you forcibly taken away. But with so many people watching, there’s bound to be gossip. I’m a grown man, so I don’t care. I just don’t know if you’ll care if these rumors get around the village.”
