Chapter 100 Am I really born to my mother?
"Smack!"
This time, it was Wen Jinzhou who got beaten up.
After slapping him, Xu Shanshan asked with a sneer, "I hit you, what's your reason?"
"You must have done something wrong, right?"
Wen Jinzhou was completely stunned by the beating, staring in disbelief at his own mother, his peach blossom eyes filled with hurt.
This is the second time his mother has slapped him in recent times.
If the previous one had some reason, this one was completely unfounded; she was simply taking her anger out on him.
He's already in his mid-twenties, and his mother just slaps him like that without any restraint...
"What are you doing?" Wen Changyu rarely raised his voice at Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan found the father and son's reactions amusing and even sneered, "Heh, they really don't know the pain until they get slapped themselves."
"You're already angry after just one slap?"
"How come you didn't do anything when Qianqian got slapped three times?" Xu Shanshan's face turned completely cold as she said this. "When we adopted Qianqian, I said that everyone must treat Qianqian as their own. Even if we find the lost child in the future, we must still treat Qianqian well and put her first in everything. After all, we are the ones who took her away from her parents."
"What did you promise me back then?"
"Qianqian, let's go," she said, pulling Wen Qianqian away again.
But this time no one stopped her.
After Wen Qianqian left the hospital with Xu Shanshan, she asked Xu Shanshan, "Mom, where are we going?"
"Go to your dad's first!"
"oh!"
Inside the ward, Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian had been gone for a long time before Wen Jinzhou pushed Wen Changyu's wheelchair and said, "Dad, let me take you back to your ward first."
Wen Changyu remained silent.
After that, there was silence between the father and son.
——
Inside the courtyard, Wen Changle and Wen Changxin had already returned.
On the way back, Wen Changle had already told Wen Changxin in detail about the condition of Wen Changyu's legs.
It also explained why Xu Shanshan had caused trouble for Wen Changyu.
Wen Changxin was also a little angry when she heard this. "She really went too far this time. Putting aside the fact that Jinci had a reason for hitting Qianqian, why did she make things difficult for my brother about the two children?"
“If Jinci is really wrong, my elder brother and mother will naturally say so. Is it necessary for her to do this?” Wen Changle said.
Wen Changxin frowned as well, "Qianqian has been spoiled rotten by her."
The two sisters returned to the courtyard house looking unwell, and He Yuzhi naturally inquired about what had happened.
Wen Changle didn't hide it from her, because as Wen Changyu remained bedridden for longer, it was inevitable that she would eventually have to keep it a secret.
He Yuzhi was so angry after hearing what Wen Changle said that she trembled all over.
Wen Changle couldn't help but ask, "Why did Jinci hit Qianqian?"
Wen Changle felt that there was definitely a reason behind it.
“I hit her because she deserved it,” He Yuzhi said, her words carrying a personal emotion. It was hard for her not to feel emotional after her son had been treated like this.
Then He Yuzhi said that Xu Shanshan refused to allow Xie Zhizhi to hold a family reunion banquet, and even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists.
Xie Zhizhi went to the hospital to see her, but Wen Qianqian rushed out and knocked the steamed bun out of her hand, and also told her about being scolded by Wen Qianqian.
Upon hearing this, Wen Changle immediately exploded, "That brat! I was too lenient by slapping her three times today."
Upon hearing that Wen Changle had also slapped Wen Qianqian, He Yuzhi asked curiously, "Why did you hit her?"
Wen Changle recounted Wen Qianqian's rude remarks.
He Yuzhi also said, "Her mother has spoiled her rotten."
Xie Zhizhi, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Am I really my mother's child?"
These words stunned He Yuzhi and the others, but then they laughed. "That's for sure. We were all there when your mother gave birth to you in the hospital. She was the only one in the delivery room at the time. There's no mistake."
"Besides, look how much you look like your older brothers!"
“But I feel like she doesn’t like me at all,” Xie Zhizhi said, her expression slightly downcast.
He Yuzhi quickly hugged her and said, “She was so heartbroken when she lost you. Later, she adopted Qianqian and made her her emotional support. Over the years, she has cherished her and treated her like her own child. She probably hasn’t even realized you’ve just come back yet.”
Wen Changxin also said, "Yes, yes, what mother doesn't love her own daughter?"
Xie Zhizhi didn't believe it, "But I can tell that my mom just doesn't like me."
This left He Yuzhi and her daughter Wen Changxin speechless. They exchanged a glance, then looked at Xie Zhizhi, who seemed quite aggrieved, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Xie Zhizhi couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that my mother deliberately lost it back then?"
Based on what Wen Changle said, Xie Zhizhi had a gut feeling that there was something fishy about the original owner's disappearance back then.
Otherwise, what family would be unhappy if their daughter, who had been missing for twenty years, came back, and then have her own mother object to holding a family reunion banquet?
Moreover, in order to seek justice for her adopted daughter, she didn't hesitate to make her husband of nearly thirty years kneel until his knees were so badly injured that he couldn't get out of bed...
Is this really a sign that there's no enmity?
Her father was able to kneel until his knees were worn out without saying a word, which clearly showed that he was not the type to bully his wife. Moreover, he held a high position, so there was no reason for him to be incompetent and make his wife feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Xu Shanshan had no reason to deliberately torment Wen Changyu by using the incident of her hitting Wen Qianqian.
If it's just that she doesn't like me, she can just stay away. Anyway, she'll be going back to Jiangcheng with Zhou Lin soon.
She can just put on an act and get through these days, then she can pamper Wen Qianqian in a big way again.
But Xu Shanshan didn't act at all; she treated her badly in every way and didn't want her to get any benefit from the Wen family.
That's right, they didn't want her to get even the slightest benefit from the Wen family, which is why they were so opposed to the family reunion banquet...
Xie Zhizhi's words, "Could it be that my mom deliberately lost me?" made the scene even more silent, and He Yuzhi and the other two even breathed shallowly.
Wen Changxin was the first to shake her head, "...No, it can't be like this. What good would it do her to do that?"
Hearing this, He Yuzhi's expression softened a bit. "Yes, what good would it do her?"
The old lady couldn't bear to think that her granddaughter had been deliberately lost by her daughter-in-law. If that were the truth, it would be... too terrible.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs.
If Xu Shanshan deliberately abandoned her child back then, then she is more vicious than a tiger.
And when her child was lost, she acted so heartbroken, refusing to eat or drink...
The old lady didn't dare to think about it; it was too terrifying.
Wen Changxin and her daughter He Yuzhi are both gentle people, so they dare not think about it.
Wen Changle has a fiery temper, so she dares to think, "Maybe she doesn't want her and her older brother's child."
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhi slapped her across the face, yelling, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
He Yuzhi didn't hold back when hitting her daughter. Wen Changle rubbed her arm as she was hit. "I'm not making this up. I remember it. When she was pregnant with Jinshu, she always had a long face, like someone owed her money."
“When Jinshu was born, she didn’t seem happy. She often didn’t feed the baby, and Jinshu cried loudly from hunger. When we asked her, she said that she didn’t have enough breast milk.”
