“Old Third, you can’t finish all these good things by yourself. Take a can of malted milk, some rapeseed oil, and refined white flour to my place later.”
Miao Fengmei walked through the crowd and pointed at the pile of relief supplies in front of so many people, saying without allowing any objection.
Seeing this, Xu Chunxiu stepped forward and wanted to speak, but her daughter held her hand. Ah Wu shook her head at her, signaling her mother not to intervene.
Ah Wu thought that no matter what her mother said now, people would always talk about her behind her back, that she was not virtuous and filial.
Her father should take the lead in this matter. No matter how much people make a fuss, they are mother and son, and he always has more positions and qualifications than her mother.
Xu Chunxiu had no idea that her daughter was thinking so much. She just thought that her daughter was afraid of her grandmother Miao Fengmei, so she didn’t bother to argue with her.
She stepped back and protected her daughter behind her to prevent Miao Fengmei from taking her anger out on them.
“Don’t tell me you’re reluctant to give it up. That little loser beat your sister up before. These things are to apologize to your sister. Besides, I’m your mother. Can’t I eat a little of your food?”
Miao Fengmei regretted separating from her son. Otherwise, these things would belong to her now, and it would be her business to distribute them.
“Mom, Ah Wu is my daughter, not a money-loser. If you keep thinking that, then wouldn’t I be a big money-loser?”
Xie Changzheng really didn’t understand. If his mother just didn’t like girls, why could she pamper Xie Xiuzhu so much but be so harsh on Ah Wu and the other two granddaughters?
Or did she only care about her own daughter, while the granddaughter born to her daughter-in-law was an outsider in her eyes?
“Besides, Xie Xiuzhu was beaten, and that’s what she deserved. What does it have to do with Ah Wu?”
At this moment, some people in the crowd were discussing the incident that Xie Xiuzhu climbed the wall of her biological third brother’s house some time ago and was scared to death by Xie Changzheng’s adopted son.
Miao Fengmei and Xie Xiuzhu naturally heard these discussions, and their faces changed immediately.
“You are so good, Old Third. Everyone praises you for being filial. Is this how you show filial piety to me, your biological mother? Now I want to drink a can of malted milk from you, and you are still making excuses?”
Miao Fengmei looked at her son Xie Changzheng with a stern face and gloomy eyes. It was obvious that this son used to obey her, so why did he suddenly become like this?
Her eyes were gloomy, bypassing Xie Changzheng and turning to Xu Chunxiu and Xie Wu behind him.
The wolf cub felt this malicious gaze. His fur instantly exploded, roaring at Miao Fengmei in a low voice. (T/N: What kind of fur do you have, bald human cub? Hahaha…)
“Oh, right? There’s another bastard who was abandoned since childhood. I didn’t know if he was born secretly by a whore who didn’t follow the rules, so he was thrown on the mountain right after he was born. You can’t even be filial to your own parents, but you are willing to raise such a thing that is broken from the root.”
The old lady’s mouth drooped, her cheekbones were high, and her eyes drooped. She looked like a mean old lady.
“Mom, I call you mother, but do you really act like a mother?”
Xie Changzheng laughed in anger.
He was not afraid of being laughed at by others. He directly explained the original agreement of the separation of the family.
“I will not elaborate on how much I have contributed to this family. When the family was separated, our family of three only got so much food. Did you, as my mother, forget that I injured my leg and needed tonic food at this time?”
“You always said that Chunxiu was not good. But I came back with a broken leg. Even my dear mother and father, who I used to respect, and my elder and second brothers, who were helped by me a lot, couldn’t wait to separate me from the family, for fear that they would be dragged down by me, while my wife, to whom I owed a lot, was still loyal to me and stayed by my side with all her heart.”
“When I couldn’t work to earn work points, she used the rations she and her daughter got to support me. It was rare for my family to eat an egg, and most of it was always placed in my bowl.”
“My heart is also made of flesh. If I don’t protect Chunxiu and my daughter, am I, Xie Changzheng, still worthy of being a human being?”
Some villagers who were originally moved by Miao Fengmei’s words could not help but blame themselves.
They only thought that there are no parents who are not wrong in the world and that children should be filial to their elders, but they forgot that if the mother is not kind, the son will be unfilial.
They also saw how foolishly filial Xie Changzheng was in the past, so they could understand that Xie Changzheng was disappointed with his family members at this moment.
