She hated that man.
I even wished he would just die out there and never come back.
Not far away, Chu Tiantian was watching the mother and daughter reunion, and her eyes were wet with emotion.
In fact, she has always known that Xia Zhichu's cold and hard appearance was all pretended, otherwise Xia Zhichu would not have obediently sent money home just because Xia Zhichu took advantage of his mother.
This is all because Xia Zhichu has always been worried about his mother and can't bear to see her continue to suffer.
This time when Xia Zhichu came back, she was looking for the memory she had lost. In fact, a big part of the reason was that she wanted to come back and visit her mother.
Chu Tiantian sniffed, moved closer and greeted Xia's mother.
Mother Xia hid behind Xia Zhichu in fear. Her emotions, which had just been normal, became a little abnormal at this moment. "Chuchu, this man is here to collect a debt. Run, run!"
When Xia Zhichu saw her mother become like this in a second, her eyes were red with heartache.
My mother had been subjected to violence from Xia Ganggang for many years, which made her mentally unstable. In addition, Xia Ganggang was a gambler and owed a lot of gambling debts. Generally, people who came to the house were there to collect debts.
Because of this, when the mother saw Chu Tiantian, her first reaction was that she was a creditor, which is why she was so scared.
Xia Zhichu quickly introduced Chu Tiantian's identity to calm his mother's frightened heart.
"This is my best friend, Chu Tiantian. She came here with me."
After hearing this, Xia's mother came out again and smiled at Chu Tiantian. "So you're Chu Chu's friend. Come on, I'll make you something delicious when I get home."
The three of them went down the mountain together. As for the delicious food that Xia's mother mentioned, she killed the local chickens raised at home and made a pot of chicken soup for the two of them.
I also made a few home-cooked dishes using the vegetables I grew myself.
After all the dishes were served, Mother Xia quickly served chicken soup to Xia Zhichu and Chu Tiantian, and greeted them warmly, "You must be starving after such a long journey. Eat more."
Xia Zhichu was indeed hungry. Normally, she would definitely concentrate on eating, but for some reason, she had no appetite at all today.
On the contrary, it was the first time that Chu Tiantian drank such delicious chicken soup, and she drank it in big gulps without hesitation.
Seeing that Xia Zhichu didn't move her chopsticks, Mother Xia asked anxiously, "Is it because what I cooked doesn't suit your taste? Then take a look at what you want to eat and I'll make it for you again."
After saying that, Xia's mother was about to leave to start her business again, but Xia Zhichu quickly stopped her, "Don't bother, the chicken soup is delicious."
After saying this, Xia's mother smiled and sat down again.
In order to reassure his mother, Xia Zhichu drank a few sips of chicken soup and then asked about the family's situation in recent years.
Xia's mother told Xia Zhichu that since Xia Zhichu stopped sending money home, Xia had a big tantrum and never returned home again.
As for the only younger brother in the family, he despised the family's poverty and stayed outside during the winter and summer vacations instead of returning home.
My mother has lived alone in this house for so many years.
When Xia Zhichu heard this, he felt nothing in his heart. In fact, it was a good thing this way. If Xia hadn't come back, his mother wouldn't have to suffer from his anger and could live a peaceful life.
But she never expected that her brother would not come back to accompany his mother, leaving her alone and helpless at home.
"I can't blame your brother. Our family is really too poor. I only have a few acres of land. I can't make much money from growing vegetables myself. Your brother has grown up and cares about his reputation. He can't bear the hardship of coming back."
Hearing what Xia's mother said, Xia Zhichu slammed his chopsticks on the table in anger. "What face does he need? It was my betrothal gift that sent him to college. It's fine if he's ungrateful, but what right does he have to look down on this family?"
Since childhood, Xia Zhichu has disliked his younger brother. Xia Ganggang spoiled him like a little bully. No matter what Xia Ganggang said, his younger brother would follow him and do it, which perfectly demonstrated the saying that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked.
When she went to college, she had no money, and it was her younger brother who suggested that she get married, which led to the later betrothal gift of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.
Xia Zhichu hated Xia Ganggang so much and had no feelings for his younger brother.
Now that he heard his mother still speaking for his younger brother, he could no longer control the grievances he had endured for many years and burst out in front of his mother.
"Chu Chu, Mom knows you have resentment in your heart, but he is your brother after all, so don't blame him." Mother Xia held Xia Zhichu's hand and kept apologizing.
Being left alone by Xia Ganggang for so many years caused his mother's heart to shift entirely to his younger brother. She even thought that if this son grew up to be successful, she would have hope.
Because of this, no matter what Xia Zhichu said, his mother always spoke on his brother's side.
Xia Zhichu finally couldn't continue the conversation and stopped talking.
When the atmosphere finally reached a deadlock, it was Chu Tiantian who broke the silence. "You two can chat slowly. I'm going to go out for a walk after I'm full."
Xia Zhichu knew that Chu Tiantian wanted to give the mother and daughter space to calm down, so he nodded and told her to be careful and not run around.
After Chu Tiantian left, Xia's mother asked about Xia Zhichu's family situation. Xia Zhichu directly confessed that he was divorced. Xia's mother was shocked again when she heard it.
"Why did you get divorced out of the blue? I think Chen Liang treats you well, why don't you just endure it and live a good life?"
Be patient?
When Xia Zhichu heard what his mother said, he laughed out loud.
If she continues to endure it, her life will be ruined.
She was not a mother, but she could endure all kinds of inhuman abuse from Xia Ganggang, and even gave birth to two children for Xia Ganggang, enduring for most of her life.
Xia Zhichu also knew that times were different. Divorces were rare at that time, and she would be laughed at, so she had no right to interfere with her mother's marriage.
But she can make her own decisions about her marriage.
"If it's not suitable, then break up. Besides, we don't have any children, so divorce won't have any impact." Xia Zhichu said indifferently.
As for her remarriage with Si Mochen, she did not confess.
Because she knew that even if she told her, it would be useless, as her mother's thinking could not give her better advice.
"Divorce has its impact. It's easy for a man to remarry, but it's troublesome for a woman." Xia's mother sighed deeply, worried about Xia Zhichu's future.
Xia Zhichu smiled but said nothing. When he spoke again, he got straight to the point. "By the way, the main reason I came back this time was to ask you about some things I had a serious illness when I was a child and I've forgotten some of my memories. Could you tell me about my lost memories?"
Upon hearing this, Xia's mother's expression immediately turned grim.
He was even a little evasive, obviously hiding something.
At the beginning, Xia Zhichu was not sick, but Xia Gang had his jade pendant snatched away by him, and his head hit a rock, causing him to lose his memory.
Mother Xia thought that after so many years, Xia Zhichu would not ask about these things again. She did not expect that she would make a special trip to ask about this, which made her not know how to answer.
