She was not the one who was beaten seriously. The group of people focused on her old man.
But even so, she was injured so badly and was wrapped so tightly... Huang Li couldn't bear to think about what her husband would look like if he was beaten even more severely.
"Xiaowei, don't scare Mom... What happened to your dad? Why don't you tell me..."
Ye Wei wiped her face with a complicated look in her eyes, and her voice was filled with tears when she spoke.
"What do you want me to say? That you and my dad secretly adopted a son without my knowledge, and then because of that precious son, one of us was crippled and the other was beaten to the point where we don't know if we'll ever wake up again?"
Huang Li was shocked: "You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Kid, I know you're angry. Your father and I didn't intend to hide your brother's affairs from you. We originally planned to tell you later..."
"No, now is not the time to talk about your brother. Don't scare me..."
"I didn't scare you." Ye Wei covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her palms. "I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly."
"The doctor didn't expect you to wake up so soon." She choked up, "Mom, you are so confused!"
"You want a son so badly, and a son is so good?!"
"Ha, now it's all right, go ahead, have a son, but don't kill yourself after you have one!"
Huang Li's breathing became more and more rapid...
Ye Wei sensed something was wrong and stood up suddenly: "Doctor, doctor, please come quickly, my mother woke up and fainted again..."
…
The Ye family is destined to have a bad New Year.
At first, people would discuss the series of tragedies that the Ye family had caused by their obsession with having a son.
It provides gossip material for many people to talk about after dinner.
But the closer it gets to the New Year, the more people subconsciously avoid talking about the Ye family's tragedy... because they think it's unlucky.
The festivals before the New Year were celebrated one after another with great enthusiasm, and it was not until New Year's Eve that Su Lixuan got up early, a rare occasion.
The slum was already bustling with activity.
When Su Lixuan lifted the door curtain and went out, she saw Sun Miao wrapped in a big flowered jacket greeting the neighbors and asking them whether the couplets in her hand were posted straight.
She was no longer the same as when Su Lixuan first saw her, dressed up brightly and beautifully, with her chin held high and looking disdainful, totally out of place in the entire compound and someone she completely disagreed with from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing Su Lixuan, Sun Miao smiled with his eyes curved: "Lixuan, are you awake? Go wash your face and eat something first."
"Dinner starts early today, so save some space for the big meal at noon!"
Li Yanhong and Lin Wenhui poked their heads out of the kitchen. There were streaks of flour on their faces, making them look like tabby cats.
Both faces with similar eyebrows and eyes were wearing happy smiles.
Lin Wenhui: "Second sister-in-law, Mom and I are frying spring rolls here. I'm sure you'll like them!"
"I'll serve you and my sister-in-law a plate of it after it's out of the pot. It's filled with red bean paste, golden and crispy. If you two are hungry, eat this to fill your stomach first."
Li Yanhong: "Don't eat too much, there will be fried meatballs later, so save some space, we won't skimp on our food today."
"Okay." Su Lixuan's smile was sweeter than the candied melon on the table. "Where's Lin Azhan?"
Li Yanhong: "He went to your Aunt Lu's house with his elder brother to help."
Lu Wanqin is now living alone outside, and it is not convenient for an old lady to post couplets and move honeycomb coal during the New Year.
She had deliberately sent her two stupid sons who were in the way to her older sisters that morning.
The two sons are tall and strong. Not only do they get in the way when they wander around the house, but she also gets annoyed just looking at them.
Why not go to her older sister and see if she can help.
Whether it's a light bulb that needs changing or there's something heavy at home that needs moving, it's better for them to go and lend a hand than to sit around at home and wait for dinner.
Su Lixuan: "Mom, didn't you say before that you would invite Aunt Lu to come and celebrate the New Year with us?"
"Your Aunt Lu isn't coming." Li Yanhong found it hard to describe. "Don't you know your Aunt Lu's personality? When she comes, she's as stubborn as a bull."
"I've been talking so much that my lips are almost worn out, but it's no use. If you say you won't come, then you won't come. If you keep talking, you'll get angry with me."
Of course, Li Yanhong would not get angry with Lu Wanqin just because she got angry with her.
She knew Lu Wanqin.
Knowing what Lu Wanqin was thinking...
"Your Aunt Lu probably thinks it's a rare family reunion this year, so it's not appropriate for her to come along and join in the fun."
"What a stubborn old lady! She's so stubborn!"
Su Lixuan sighed silently in her heart. Lu Wanqin's sense of propriety sometimes made people love and hate him.
She pouted: "Aunt Lu is not an outsider. The key is that we don't treat Aunt Lu as an outsider."
That's exactly what I mean!
Li Yanhong was also helpless: "That's why I said she was stubborn. No one treated her as an outsider. She was the only one who thought too much and was being distant with us..."
As she was saying this, Li Yanhong heard her eldest daughter-in-law coughing exaggeratedly.
She subconsciously closed her mouth and looked at her eldest daughter-in-law first, then followed her gaze...
Not far away, they saw the ungrateful son raised by their elder sisters, who was hunched over slightly, looking at them with a complicated expression.
He was holding something in his hand, and when he saw her looking over, he looked visibly awkward.
Li Yanhong's face suddenly turned cold, she frowned and said nothing.
Min Weixuan stepped forward hesitantly: "Happy New Year, Aunt Li, I have something here..."
Li Yanhong interrupted him: "Don't expect me to help you give the things to your mother. Your mother will never want them."
Now that you know to show filial piety by giving gifts, what were you doing before?
"When you came back from your business trip and brought some local specialties, your mother didn't even bother asking you for them. She just let you send them to Yi's house over and over again."
"Your mother doesn't even care about the specialties from other provinces, so it's even more impossible for her to care about these few melons and dates in your hand."
Facing Min Weixuan's pale face, Li Yanhong spoke without mercy.
"Take it back. We need some New Year's goods for the family during the New Year. Even if we can't cook, we have to prepare something decent to eat in the evening."
"Looking for a good place to live."
"Besides, you have a child at home. You have to eat the child even if you don't want to... Look at me, I'm talking too much. Now, go back quickly."
Her heart was still not hard enough, and she always wanted to say a few more words for Min Weixuan's good because she had grown up with him.
But 80% of people are not happy to listen to it.
Min Weixuan lowered his head: "I didn't say much, Aunt Li. Since my mother moved out and ignored me, you are the first one to open up to me about this."
"I appreciate it."
Li Yanhong frowned: "Why do I hear from your words that you blame your mother? Blame your mother for not caring about you?"
"No." Min Weixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just can't speak, but I have never blamed my mother from the bottom of my heart."
Over the years, he has been an unfilial son and has done many things that have disappointed his mother.
