Chapter 101 Mother and Son Quarrel
After asking for leave from the section chief, Zhang Xiangbei hurried home to ask his mother for money.
The child has a fever and feels so uncomfortable, I have to buy him some canned food.
A family of four has to eat in the hospital.
"Mom... I..." Zhang Xiangbei pushed the door open and went home, and saw his mother quickly putting away a paper package.
I sniffed it and it was roast chicken!
Zhang Xiangbei looked at his two nephews with greasy mouths and his mother, and felt like his heart was burning with fire.
"Mom, give me a ten-thousand-dollar bill." Zhang Xiangbei suppressed his unhappiness and decided to send his two nephews back after his daughter Xiaomi was discharged from the hospital.
"What?" All the roast chicken that Mrs. Zhang had chewed in her mouth came out.
The old lady picked up the residue on her sleeve with a distressed look, threw it into her mouth, and swallowed it quickly.
"Say it again!" The old lady wondered if she hadn't heard clearly.
Zhang Xiangbei said it again solemnly, seriously, and clearly, "Give me a few yuan. The child needs money in the hospital, and the medical expenses were all paid by others. I have to pay them back."
"I don't!"
It's only ten dollars, she thinks ten dollars is too much.
Zhang Xiangbei did not argue with the old lady anymore and ran to her residence to look for the money.
"What are you doing?"
"Stop it, that's my money!" The old lady quickly grabbed her son.
"My daughter, your granddaughter is now in the hospital and needs this money to save her life. This is the money I earned. What's wrong with me using my own money?" Zhang Xiangbei continued to search.
The old lady slapped her thigh anxiously, "Stop it!"
"A little girl, how can she be so precious? Take her home immediately. You're asking for a dollar. I think you're crazy. What else can you do with that money? Send her to the hospital."
The veins on Zhang Xiangbei's neck bulged. "Mom, we didn't have to spend this money. You beat the child and put him in the hospital. And you still say such things? Are you trying to force me to death?"
"I think you want to kill me!"
"I'm telling you, if you dare take this money today, I'll die in front of you, so everyone can see how unfilial you are, trying to drive me to death!"
Old lady Zhang held Zhang Xiangbei tightly, fearing that he would take the money away.
"Hey, you want everyone to see it, right?"
Zhang Xiangbei walked to the door and kicked it open with a thud. "Everyone, come and judge for yourself whether I am unfilial or not."
Originally, the Zhang family was the center of attention, but things have quieted down for the past couple of days, and everyone is still not used to it.
Now I heard the angry roar from Old Lady Zhang’s family, so I hurried out to see what was happening.
"Xiangbei, what's the matter?" Zhang Xiangbei has always impressed everyone that he is reliable and filial, but his filial piety is a bit too foolish, making his wife and daughter miserable.
"I wanted to take some money from home to treat my child's illness, but my mother wouldn't let me and said I was unfilial." Zhang Xiangbei, a grown man, was forced to cry.
The people who often stab us in the heart and hurt us the most are those closest to us.
He trusted his mother so much that he took her in to enjoy a good life. He never expected that no matter what he did, he could not compare to his eldest brother in his hometown.
"Auntie Zhang, just give Xiangbei some money. This child needs it urgently."
"Yes, this is a matter of life and death!"
"Look at how your son Xiangbei has become because of you. He's such an honest kid!"
"Old sister, please listen to my advice. We must not go too far."
Everyone blamed Old Lady Zhang.
"You...you have money, so give it to him. If you don't, stop making sarcastic remarks here!"
"You unfilial son, what do you want to do?" Seeing so many people talking about her, Mrs. Zhang became so angry that her face turned even redder.
"Mom, give me some money. I'll go and pay them back. Also, our family of four needs money everywhere in the hospital. Please give me a few yuan and some food coupons first." Zhang Xiangbei thought his mother finally agreed.
"Bah! You're only paying ten yuan. Why don't you go to heaven? I'll give you ten yuan, no more." Old Mrs. Zhang reluctantly took out ten yuan from her pocket.
It's crazy to spend so much money on hospitalization for something that can be solved by spending a few cents on some mercurochrome.
"mother!"
"You have money to buy roast chicken for Xiaojun and Xiaobing, but you don't want to pay for Xiaomi's hospital expenses!" Zhang Xiangbei roared.
He didn't know it before, but normal work was tiring enough, and he thought that with his wife and mother at home, there wouldn't be any problems.
Every time his wife wanted to say something to him, he would fall asleep before she could hear a few words. When his daughter complained to him, he didn't take it seriously. It was normal for children to quarrel. He thought he was a real bastard and ignored them for too long.
"Why, do I want to eat roast chicken?"
"Your mother is not worthy of eating roast chicken?" Old Mrs. Zhang immediately widened her eyes. It was outrageous that someone dared to say that about her grandson.
"Xiao, it's okay for you to eat as many as you want. Now I ask you, is my daughter qualified to eat the roast chicken? It doesn't make sense that my nephew can eat it but my daughter can't." Zhang Xiangbei just looked at Old Lady Zhang quietly.
"A little girl..." Mrs. Zhang wanted to blurt out the words, but stopped after seeing her son's expression.
"Please continue." Zhang Xiangbei looked at his mother, as if he just saw everything clearly at this moment.
The one who is not favored is always wrong.
Suddenly, I remembered that when I was a child, I was always ignored, and whatever my parents had, they would leave it to my brother and sister.
When I grew up, I tried my best to prove that I was more successful than my older brother and younger sister and could make my parents happy.
After my father died, he took the initiative to bring my mother over. It was the first time my mother praised him, saying that she had not given birth to such a son in vain and that she was proud.
He felt that he had finally gained his mother's recognition, and everything he had done was worth it, and he felt psychologically satisfied.
But he never thought about the impact his actions would have on his own family.
