Chapter 134 A Shoe Shot
“You need to tell your stepmother that it was you who begged Aunt Qingqing that made an exception and accepted her,” Sixi told him.
Black Egg was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Why do you say that?"
"You're right to trust me; it's for your own good."
"I..." Hei Dan stammered for a long time, "Brother Sixi, I don't want to lie."
"If Mother finds out later, she will definitely feel uncomfortable."
Si Xi thought that his stepmother wouldn't know, and he would conspire with his aunt to do it for Hei Dan's own good.
But he suddenly got stuck.
What is he doing?
Teaching Black Egg to Lie?
Perhaps this isn't for Black Egg's good; it's backfiring.
"Is your stepmother treating you well now?" Sixi asked.
Black Egg nodded: "It's very good, Brother Sixi. I used to think she was bad, but ever since the day I pulled out the worm, she seemed to be frightened and secretly cried."
She doesn't scold me anymore, and she even covers me with a blanket at night. Oh, and she's currently mending my clothes at home!
Si Xi was a little stunned.
So, Black Egg's stepmother is actually quite good.
Black Egg is lucky.
Unlike him...
Oh dear, what is he thinking!
He has a younger aunt who is even better than his own mother! All the children in the village envy him!
"That's alright then, just tell the truth."
Black Egg, having received approval, ran inside excitedly.
"Mom! Aunt Qingqing wants you to do some work tomorrow!"
"Really? Black Egg, are you serious?"
“Really, it’s so girly!” Black Egg’s voice was full of naivety.
You can imagine him grinning.
"Oh, my good son!"
"Mother, it was Brother Sixi who helped say it."
"Then we must thank Sixi properly. Dan, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you!"
Oh my, my son is really something now, he's the brother of a future miracle doctor!
No, I need to change your name to something nicer…
Si Xi was relieved to hear this.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself, realizing he had been worrying unnecessarily.
He walked home while silently reciting the names of the acupoints he had just learned.
When they arrived at the fenced yard, they heard a woman crying inside the house.
"Milk--"
Si Xi hurriedly ran into the house.
But in the narrow mud hut, a woman was sitting wiping away tears.
Grandma Liu Guiyun sat to the side expressionlessly, as if she didn't welcome her at all.
The woman's eyes lit up the moment she saw Sixi.
"Sixi...you've grown so tall. You look so energetic and clean..."
The woman's gaze was scrutinizing, yet also tinged with complex emotions.
Si Xi looked at her grandmother.
“This is…your mother.” Liu Guiyun hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Now, Sixi is no longer the immature boy he used to be, and Liu Guiyun doesn't hide it from him anymore.
Si Xi's face immediately darkened.
"What are you doing here? My family is poor, be careful not to bring bad luck with us!"
Since his mother remarried when Si Xi was three years old, Si Xi has never seen her again.
But I've heard that her new husband's family is doing well; they have two sons who are about the same age, and she's a stepmother.
When Sisi was young, after being bullied, she had a dark thought that her mother would be divorced by that family and come back here.
He also longed for his mother's love.
He also loves his mother.
Later, as he grew older, he stopped thinking that way. He felt that it would be fine if his mother came to visit him occasionally.
He wanted to experience what it felt like to be loved by his mother.
Now, all those thoughts are gone.
He doesn't need it anymore.
But why has this woman come again?
"Sixi... Mother, Mother misses you so much." The woman tried to reach out and grab Sixi's hand.
Si Xi avoided it.
"I really wonder why I haven't come even once in all these years?"
"Sixi, you don't know, it's not easy to be a stepmother. Mother... has no choice in the matter."
Si Xi understands this point.
My aunt once said that women suffer more than men in this world, and we should be more tolerant of women.
She's already married to someone else; if she secretly comes back to see him, it will anger her husband's family.
"So you've been divorced now?"
Si Xi swore that he absolutely did not mean to curse, he just said it as he felt it.
He saw the woman's face stiffen and her brows furrow.
"No, now that your husband's family has given their permission, I came to see you. Look, I brought you lots of delicious food."
The woman showed Sixi a bunch of things.
There are mung bean cakes, sesame cakes, and sesame candy.
In the past, Sixi would have been craving it, but now, he's eaten everything!
He had eaten a three-ounce koi carp and a thirty-ounce turtle!
Seeing that Sixi's expression didn't change, the woman was taken aback.
Then she started crying again.
"Sixi, your mother can't bear the thought of us being separated. I've come this time to take you with me."
"What did you say?" Liu Guiyun suddenly stood up.
At this moment, she transformed into a mother hen protecting her chicks, spreading her wings to shield Sixi behind her.
"Guo, not all members of my Lu family are dead yet! It's not your place to take Sixi away!"
“Mother-in-law, I feel that you are suffering too much. Sixi is so young, and you are getting old. In a few years, he will get married. What will you do then?”
I'll leave you five taels of silver. Take Sixi to my place; it'll be better for both of you that way.
If you truly care about Sixi, you should think about his feelings.
I am still her biological mother.
Liu Guiyun, her face cold, picked up a broom to chase people away.
Si Xi suddenly asked, "Where are your two sons?"
Guo's face immediately turned ugly.
The grandfather and grandson then realized that they truly wouldn't visit the temple without a reason.
Although Sixi had long since given up on expecting anything, she still felt a pang of sadness for a moment.
What about one's own mother?
“They drowned while swimming in the river. Now my husband’s family has no sons. If Sixi goes back, my husband will definitely raise her as his own son.”
So, Mother-in-law, if Sixi comes with me, she'll definitely be better off than she is now.
"..."
When she said this, Guo showed no sadness on her face; in fact, her tone carried a hint of lighthearted schadenfreude.
"Get out! Get out!" Liu Guilan hit her with a broom.
Guo's eyes reddened. "Sixi, come with me. I will make it up to you and give you the best."
"Forget about it! My mother died a long time ago!" Sixi said viciously, his eyes filled with disgust.
The Guo family was kicked out of the house.
I still can't believe it.
She was taking her son to live a better life, but this old woman Liu is too selfish, making Sixi suffer here with her, an old woman who won't live for many more years!
"Who are you……"
A person arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
When he saw the woman, it took him a while to recognize her.
"Guo? Is that you?" Chen Cuihua exclaimed in surprise, holding a pair of new cloth shoes.
"You've come to see Sixi?"
It's been five or six years since I last saw her. Guo has aged quite a bit; I almost didn't recognize her.
Guo gave an unnatural smile.
In terms of seniority, she should call Chen Cuihua "auntie".
But she's no longer a member of the Lu family, so there's no need for her to call her that.
I was already holding back when I called out to Granny Liu.
"I came here to take Sixi with me and enjoy a life of luxury, but Liu is selfish and insists on keeping Sixi with her..."
Before she could finish speaking, a smelly shoe was slapped across Guo's face.
Chen Cuihua was originally going to use the shoe in her hand to hit it.
I couldn't bear to part with it.
He took off one of his shoes and shoved it over.
"Keep dreaming! Do you think the Lu family will be wiped out!"
"You want to take Sixi with you, have you asked his aunt? Have you asked his uncle, second uncle, and grandfather?"
"Did you ask me about your godmother?"
"Still want to go and enjoy a life of luxury with you?"
My Sixi is now a little miracle doctor, you can't even get close to him!
"You country bumpkin!"
