Looking at the messy house, He Zhangcheng felt utterly exhausted. He had noticed since childhood that his mother was unhappy in the He family. The family members didn't like her much and were determined to make something of herself and earn her respect so that she could stand tall in the future.
I don't think I've disappointed her.
He simply wanted to be filial to his mother, but she had brought countless troubles and pain to his family.
After getting married, Ye Man got pregnant and gave birth to her daughter alone and raised her alone. He Zhangcheng felt deeply sorry for her. Now that he finally managed to get his wife and daughter to come and join him in the army so that the family could be reunited, his mother came without telling him.
"...Mom, I'll buy you a ticket and send you back tomorrow."
After saying that, she turned away without looking into her eyes. Liu He felt dizzy and gasped for breath. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Mingyue quickly went forward and helped her to sit down on the sofa.
"Auntie? Cousin, Auntie is only doing this for your own good, how can you say that?"
Liu He lay on the sofa, clutching her chest, her body twitching several times. Ma Mingyue kept crying, and He Zhangcheng clenched his fists.
"Your cousin was just saying that out of anger, don't take it to heart, take a breath."
On the sofa, Ma Mingyue hugged Liu He and cried, while Xiaoting in the room also cried, clutching her mother's clothes.
Ye Man tenderly wiped away her daughter's tears with a towel; Xiaoting was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. What she said is wrong. Xiaoting, don't take bad people's words to heart."
"You're my only daughter, the most precious thing in my life. She doesn't like you because she doesn't like me, it has nothing to do with Xiaoting."
Xiaoting was sobbing uncontrollably. Ye Man slowly pulled her sweaty hair out of her collar, her gaze becoming more and more determined. "Didn't they say on the radio that having a boy or a girl is the same, and that women can hold up half the sky? She's just being superstitious and her thinking is outdated."
It's wrong to favor sons over daughters. Your mother is a woman, your maternal grandmother is a woman, and she herself is a woman. Why should she look down on herself? Don't cry. Mom will write a letter to report her and have the neighborhood committee arrest her.
"Mother……"
Ye Man picked up her daughter and looked her straight into her eyes, "Mom promises you, you are my only daughter in this life."
As for her, she's only connected to your father. Mom won't take her words to heart because she's a bad person. I hope Xiaoting won't take bad people's words to heart either, because bad people just want to make you unhappy.
"……But"
"No buts. You are my daughter. Your grandparents love you so much. Why should I care about her?"
Xiaoting nodded, holding her mother's hand. Her mother was right. She was a bad person; bad people are just bad for no reason. It was enough to simply know that she was a bad person.
After finally comforting her daughter and seeing that she had stopped crying, Ye Man wiped the sweat off her body with a towel, changed her clothes, took out some snacks from the closet and told Xiaoting to stay in the room. Only then did she go over to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw He Zhangcheng standing at the door with his fists clenched and a worried look on his face. When he saw that the door was open and was about to come in, Ye Man directly reached out to stop him.
Turning her head to look at the living room, Ma Mingyue was massaging Liu He's temples, who was crying and wailing as if she was about to leave. She crossed her arms and watched this farce coldly.
"I wasn't joking. Xiaoting is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. I don't want to see her suffer even the slightest grievance. I don't know how much wealth your He family has, that you insist on having a boy."
"I'll buy tickets and take Xiaoting back tomorrow. You need to submit a report to your superiors as soon as possible so we can get a divorce. If you don't, don't blame me for writing a letter to report you."
After saying that, she turned to go back into the house, but He Zhangcheng quickly reached out and grabbed her, "How is Xiaoting?"
If it weren't for years of upbringing, Ye Man would have slapped him across the face. She raised her hand to shake him off, but He Zhangcheng gripped her wrist tightly.
His tone was anxious yet earnest: "Okay, we will only have Xiaoting as our child in this lifetime."
Ye Man stopped what she was doing and looked at him, thinking he was joking. He Zhangcheng looked directly into her eyes very seriously.
"I'll listen to you about how many children we have. Since you said you only want Xiaoting, then we'll only have one. I promise you."
He had never thought about this issue before. He couldn't make the decision about having a child since he wasn't the one who gave birth to him. But now that Ye Man said there would only be one child, then there would only be one.
"Please apologize to Xiaoting for me. I will handle it. This will never happen again."
Ye Man looked at him and said, "Are you sure? Your mother said that your He family must have a boy."
If the two cannot reach an agreement on this, Xiaoting will suffer countless grievances in the future, so it would be better to get a divorce. If they can reach an agreement, Ye Man thought to herself. He Zhangcheng is a good father, and he has a bright future ahead of him. She really hopes that Xiaoting will have more support in the future.
