Jiang Shushu reached out and grabbed Zhao Cuihua's collar, pulling her back. "You're always so unreasonable, trying to run away when you can't get through. I won't give you face this time. You must explain yourself clearly today. If you can't, you can't leave." I've put on such a good show for so long, I've even shed a few tears, and you want to just let it go like this? It's a beautiful thought. Today, I won't let your reputation, Zhao Cuihua, be tarnished. I'll take your last name.
Audience 1: "That's right, we haven't finished listening yet, why are you in such a hurry?" I haven't heard such exciting news in a long time. If I don't hear it to the end, how can I sleep tonight?
Audience member 2: "This old woman wants to run away now. She's clearly guilty." So, having given birth to so many sons, she doesn't treat them as human beings. God is truly blind! How could such a vicious person allow her to have sons? She should have only had daughters. Ugh! No, she should have been infertile, to prevent her from causing harm to others.
…
Jiang Shushu deliberately pressed on Zhao Cuihua's sore spot, causing her to scream in pain. "Ah... my hand."
Jiang Shushu took the initiative and said, "Pretend, pretend, pretend, and pretend again. If you don't pretend for a day, you will die. What's the matter? You want to frame me, just because we are a good couple, right? Fine, I will confront you today."
Jiang Shushu pulled Zhao Cuihua over to the crowd and without a word, he pulled up the sleeve of her clothes and showed her arm to everyone. "Everyone, look, did I pinch her? Did I hit her? Did I break her hand?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Cuihua's hand without any wounds and her hand that moved freely. They all thought that Zhao Cuihua's miserable cry just now was fake, and immediately cast contemptuous eyes at Zhao Cuihua.
Audience 2: "Ugly people are always up to no good. They're pretending to be pitiful in front of everyone. They're taking us for fools! We, the public, have sharp eyes."
Audience 1: “Exactly.”
Zhao Cuihua felt like she was going crazy. She looked at her arm again and again, her face full of disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, I was in so much pain just now, how could I be fine?"
Jiang Shushu: "Don't pretend in front of me. You always use the same two tricks. Today, no matter what I say, I will not give you face again. This woman is so cruel. She doesn't give me things or money, and she also wants my husband to hand over the subsidy for educated youth, saying that it is to repay their kindness in raising him in advance. My husband was driven into despair by them. My husband asked her to settle all the child support. At that time, my husband said that he would pay back the child support even if he had to sell blood. Woo woo woo..." Jiang Shushu choked up, covered her cheeks with her hands and cried twice. "Don't look at my husband who is tall and strong now. When he first went to the countryside, he was skin and bones. I don't know if he could draw blood if he sold blood with his body."
Everyone else looked at Yang Xiaobei with sympathy.
Yang Xiaobei: “…” I’m not that miserable. My childhood was quite miserable, but after I turned 12, I became self-reliant and lived okay.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yang Xiaobei could only pretend to cooperate and lower his head to show his sadness that could not be expressed in words.
Cuihua was almost mad when she saw Jiang Shushu talking nonsense in a serious manner, "You are talking nonsense, where did you get the blood test?" Unfortunately, no one believed her.
Jiang Shushu ignored Zhao Cuihua's incompetent rant and continued, "My husband asked her to calculate the child support, and this woman immediately started calculating everything. She included rent, water, electricity, tuition, clothes, food, even the cost of childbirth, and so on. She even included a needle my husband used. The total was less than 100 yuan. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Audience 2: "Fuck! Can 100 yuan really raise a child? This woman is really awesome. This is no different from abandoning the child."
"My husband was disheartened at the time and gave her all the 200 yuan subsidy he received as an educated youth, double the amount for raising him, and only asked that they no longer have any contact. My husband was penniless and thin at the time, and many people thought he would not make it, and this woman thought so too. This woman was afraid that someone would come to collect my husband's body after his death, so she asked him to break off relations with her in person, and that they would be strangers in the future. In order to reassure them and to completely give up hope, my husband immediately found someone from the neighborhood committee to write a letter of severance and published it in the newspaper.
When my husband left her house, this woman wouldn't let him take a single stitch with him. He was left with nothing. Even the patched clothes he was wearing were lent to him by his friends. When I think about my husband's situation now, I'm heartbroken. I don't know how he got through it.
Audience 1: "I have never seen such a vicious mother in my life. She is worse than an animal. There is nothing wrong with what she said."
Zhao Cuihua: "Nonsense, nonsense, you're talking nonsense! It was clearly Yang Xiaobei who wanted to sever ties with us..."
Jiang Shushu interrupted Zhao Cuihua loudly, "You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not. The neighbors and the neighborhood committee all know it. Do you really think that just because you're yelling loudly, you're right?"
"Although my husband grew up in poverty, he is thoughtful, kind, hardworking, and capable. My husband's friend lent him a month's worth of food, and he went to the countryside and worked incredibly hard just to fill his stomach. At the time, our team leader didn't dare assign him heavy physical work, fearing his body wouldn't be able to handle it. It was my husband's persistence, and after much persuasion, they finally agreed to assign him work.
My husband worked hard for almost half a year before he had a little bit of surplus food, and his life gradually got better. Later, he found a job through his own efforts. Life just got better. This woman shamelessly used her identity as his biological mother to make trouble, wanting my husband to work like a slave for her like when he was a child. Originally, for the sake of my husband, I didn't want to pay any attention to her, but this woman thought that my husband and I were afraid of her, and she came to make trouble with us at every turn. Since she has no shame, then no one should either. Even if my husband and I are embarrassed here today, I will tell the story. "Jiang Shushu expressed the helplessness, sadness, and heartache vividly, and anyone who saw it would have to say it was pitiful.
Audience member 2: "You should just speak out. If others don't feel ashamed, why should you, the victims, be ashamed? The only ones who should be ashamed are those with malicious minds and no shame."
"that is."
…
Yang Xiaobei stood up, his eyes filled with unspeakable sorrow. "Since everything has been said today, I must also say this. I cannot let my wife suffer with me."
Yang Xiaobei came to Zhao Cuihua and said, "You said I was good to the Yue family and my wife. That's what they deserve. They helped me when I was in the most difficult and helpless time. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. Maybe I would have died long ago. They deserve my kindness. You, my so-called biological mother, and my blood relatives are not even as good as strangers outside. You treat me like grass. Why should I respect and love you? From the moment we severed our relationship, you have nothing to do with me. I am worthy of the heavens above, the earth below, and even more so, you so-called relatives."
