Chapter 92 Sun Qijing's Choice
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Tu's anxious expression and felt that she had seen enough of the show and it was time for her to make her debut.
"Oh, I don't have any money. After all, it wasn't me who asked you to abandon us mother and son and go to such a faraway place to take up an official position. In that case, the travel expenses and other expenses are none of my business. If you give up the position and stay at home peacefully as a county magistrate, I won't tolerate you. But if you want more, you can only dream!"
When Sun Tu heard Zhao Lingmeng say this, he was stunned at first, and then he flew into a rage, "Zhao Lingmeng, are you kidding me?"
"Yeah! I'm teasing you, what are you going to do?" Zhao Lingmeng said, looking provocatively at the place where Sun Tu's leg was broken. It was full of threats.
Sun Tu was about to storm out, but the look Zhao Lingmeng gave him as he looked at his leg only made the memory of the pain even more vivid. Furthermore, he was about to take up his new position, so he absolutely couldn't afford to have any issues with his health.
He could only suppress his anger and try to make his voice sound gentler, "Madam, now is not the time to be willful." After Sun Tu finished speaking, he signaled Sun Qijing with his eyes, signaling his eldest son to speak for him.
Sun Qijing did not disappoint Sun Tu. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, what Dad said makes sense. This is a serious matter. Please give Dad some."
Before Sun Qijing could hear his mother's voice after he finished speaking, he saw his younger brother sitting next to him roll his eyes and said, "Oh, you ungrateful bastard."
Sun Qijing has understood the meaning of ungrateful people for a while now. When he heard his brother say that, and saw that his mother did not say anything about his brother's meaning, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Sun Tu immediately protected his son and scolded him: "Sun Qiming!" Sun Tu felt that he really didn't like him, the second son, and never thought about him. He was always competing with Jing'er.
Sun Qiming was no longer afraid of his father. He shrank down from the chair, ran to where Zhao Lingmeng was sitting, sat directly at Zhao Lingmeng's feet, hugged one of Zhao Lingmeng's legs, and looked at Sun Qijing and Sun Tu provocatively.
Zhao Lingmeng's room was carpeted. Seeing Sun Qiming sitting on the floor, she knew he was not cold, so she just reached out and touched his head and let him go.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Qijing with disappointment and slowly said, "Sun Qijing, may I ask what your status is when you said that? Can you be my master now? When did I ever give you this power? You need to understand one thing. Everything you have eaten, used, worn, and played with over the years has been mine. Yet, you actually helped your father. Mother is very disappointed in you."
Sun Qijing met his mother's gaze and listened to what she said. Although he was just a child, he felt that his mother had hurt his face, and anger rose in his heart. "Mom, if you don't like me, I will go with Dad to take up the post."
Sun Qijing mustered up the courage to say this. He thought his mother would coax him. After all, his mother had always been very good to him. Sometimes it was not an exaggeration to say that she would grant any wish.
"Okay," Zhao Lingmeng replied quickly. Although she was very kind to the child, she wasn't a saint if the child only liked his father. The point was, she wasn't without a son. This time, she was determined to teach this little guy a lesson. At worst, she could send someone to bring him back.
Zhao Lingmeng's words stunned Sun Tu and Sun Qijing. When Sun Qijing heard his mother's agreement, tears immediately fell from his red eyes. He shrank from his chair and ran out crying. Dong Mian was very observant and chased after him.
Sun Qiming looked at
"Madam, what do you mean?" Sun Tu didn't feel happy at the moment. He suddenly realized what his uncle had said. Madam has many sons, so it's not necessary for her to have Jing'er. Although he was selfish, Jing'er was his hope for the future. What hope could he have if she followed him to such a remote place?
"That's exactly what it means! Aren't you and your son supposed to love each other? I'll make it happen! How wonderful! You're his biological father anyway, so it's your responsibility to support him. And it's even more important that you pay for his future education."
Sun Tu had originally been considering Sun Qijing's future, but when he heard that Zhao Lingmeng wouldn't be providing for Sun Qijing anymore, he realized how expensive education was. He didn't want to pay. Jing'er was very close to him anyway, and Zhao Lingmeng would still be filial to him when he grew up. He didn't want to hinder Jing'er's future. That was it, Sun Tu convinced himself.
"Madam, the child is ignorant and was just speaking in anger. Life there is so hard! How could he endure it?" Sun Tu looked like a very loving father.
"Then it depends on his own choice! We can't deny him the right to choose just because the child is still young." Zhao Lingmeng didn't buy it. If Sun Qijing insisted on going with Sun Tu, let him experience the sufferings of the world for a while!
When Sun Tu heard Zhao Lingmeng say this, he knew that as long as Sun Qijing didn't insist on following him, Zhao Lingmeng wouldn't say anything. He thought he could just persuade Jing'er privately. The most important thing now was how to get the money.
"lady"
"Don't waste your breath. You've torn up our contract and aren't willing to be a county lord. I won't pay you any more money. You figure it out yourself! I'm not a fool." Zhao Lingmeng had seen enough of this drama and didn't want to bother with Sun Tu anymore. Anyway, she'd just give him a divorce gift the day he left and that would be it.
"Are you really going to be so ruthless?" Sun Tu was really impressed by Zhao Lingmeng, this stubborn woman. She was very generous to others, but she was extremely stingy with him.
Zhao Lingmeng laughed even more happily when she heard what Sun Tu said: "This is just the beginning. Believe me, I have something even better."
Seeing that he couldn't get any good from this woman, Sun Tu didn't want to endure this humiliation any longer, so he shook his sleeves and left angrily, without any regrets at all.
Zhao Lingmeng was speechless as she watched Sun Tu leave. She uttered a mocking "huh" but it was unclear whether he was mocking the original owner's blindness or Zhao Lingmeng's own naiveté of wanting to discipline him and raise a child together.
Sun Qiming, who had been sitting at Zhao Lingmeng's feet, seemed to understand something and looked up at Zhao Lingmeng. "Mom, Dad doesn't want us anymore, does he?"
Zhao Lingmeng was surprised that such a young child could understand, but since Sun Qiming asked, she would not hide it for Sun Tu. She touched Sun Qiming's head and said, "He doesn't want us anymore, so we don't want him either, okay? You and your brother will take your mother's surname Zhao from now on, okay?"
When Sun Qiming heard his mother say that they could also do without their father, he was very happy and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, we don't want him either, but what about my brother?"
