“But I’ve never been of much help to him as a mother. When he grows up, the only thing I can do is to try to solve my own problems and lighten his burden. Mom, don’t you think I’m much luckier than you? I have only one son, but my son has never abandoned me.”
Qiao Zijin’s gaze and tone were filled with sarcasm. Her mom had been the one to raise her in this manner, and yet, her mom was pretending to regret everything now. What a joke!
The mother and daughter were peas in a pod. There was no way of reasoning between the two of them. Only when common sense stood on their sides did it exist. Otherwise, it was nothing but nonsense!
“What’s the use of having two children? Isn’t Qiao Nan good? You keep saying that she’s bad, unfilial, stupid, and foolish. You don’t know how happy I am every time I hear that. Your disappointment in Qiao Nan will only benefit me. Look, you always say that you can’t depend on Qiao Nan and that she ill-treats you. But why don’t you think about why Qiao Nan’s always the first person you think of when either Dad or I fall sick? Do you really think you’re only after Qiao Nan’s money? Deep down in your heart, you know that Qiao Nan is the most reliable person in our family. If you don’t even want Qiao Nan when she’s like that, I won’t be greedy. I think our Feng Feng is brilliant.”
Her son was not her husband. She had countless requirements when it came to men. But when it came to her son, Chen Feng, there was nothing she could nitpick on. Why had she allowed Qiao Nan to become Chen Feng’s stepmother? Why had she been willing to lose to Qiao Nan years later to let her marry Chen Jun?
Firstly, the one whom Chen Jun truly loved was indeed Qiao Nan. Only if Chen Jun married Qiao Nan would he stop fooling around outside. That way, Chen Feng would never get another sibling. Secondly, and more importantly, there was no one apart from Qiao Nan who could raise Feng Feng to be an upright, just, and kind person.
For her son’s sake, it wouldn’t matter if she lost to Qiao Nan again.
What Qiao Zijin had not expected was Qiao Nan meeting Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng had even decided to marry Qiao Nan, and the Zhai family had even agreed to it. That was why her plan to make Qiao Nan her son’s stepmother had failed.
“So be it if you don’t want to take care of me. But you’d better think this through, Mom. I don’t have a good temper and I’m selfish. I can set a fire, but I won’t allow anyone to light a candle. I’m allowed to scheme against you, but you’d better not harbor any of these thoughts against me. If you abandon me now, you’d better be mentally prepared for how I turn out and how I treat you in the future.”
Severing ties with her? She could dream on!
Her mom had raised her to have such a temper, so her mom had better endure it until the very end. Sorry, she wouldn’t agree to her mom throwing her aside now.
Ding Jiayi felt devastated, having been threatened by her own daughter. Hadn’t it been her daughter’s lack of filial piety and schemes to make her free labor that had disappointed her? Why did it seem like she was the cause of everything now? Had she brought about her own downfall? Did she really deserve this?
Also, what did Zijin mean by her last sentence? Was Zijin going to pester her until the very end? Did that mean that Zijin had to agree to her throwing her aside? “What-what do you want? What can you do to me?”
Their family no longer had any semblance of a family. To take care of Zijin, she had angered Old Qiao and had gone through much trouble to come here. But Zijin was treating her with such an attitude, and she was even threatening and provoking her with these words!
Qiao Zijin leaned back comfortably on the bed and laughed. “Mom, have you ever seen what truly unfilial children do? To be honest, Qiao Nan has never worried you, and neither have I caused too much trouble for you. That’s why you and Dad think this is a big matter. I’m capable of much more than you think.”
Ding Jiayi had never experienced it, but Qiao Zijin had heard a lot about such cases in the years that she had been married to Chen Jun. Ping Cheng was an area undergoing redevelopment. Some old farmers live normally and never earned much, but they had small fortunes.
Because their villages had been under the demolition plan, many problems had arisen in almost every family with sons. Knowing that they would be compensated with cash as well as a house for relocating, their sons were led astray into the bad habit of gambling. Because it was someone else’s game, it was impossible for them to win.
As such, money leaked out of their pockets. But they had to pay their debts no matter what.
The old farmers had finally earned a small fortune because of the relocation, but because of their ‘good sons’, not only had they been forced to give up all of the compensation they had received, but they had even needed to put up their new houses for auction to pay off those debts.
Worst of all, they had only been able to solve the matter after selling everything valuable in the family. Initially, they had finally been given a chance to improve their lives, but now, they were back to square one, possibly even worse off than before. Before the relocation, they had land and could plant their own rice and vegetables, at the very least. The problem was that there wasn’t any land for them to plant for sustenance after the relocation. They had to buy everything.
Not only had it become harder to earn money, but their family’s expenses had also increased. Because of that, there had been many tragedies. Of course, Chen Jun couldn’t afford not to care about the matter once it blew up. As a result of the severe crackdown, he had finally been able to get the situation under control.
Every time she heard about a family who had a ‘good’ son who eventually resulted in the breakup of the entire family and how their daughters-in-law had run off with their grandchildren, Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but chuckle. Hadn’t her mom wanted a son? If her mom had just one son like that, she would have ‘struck rich’!
Then, her mom would know how ‘blissful’ it was to be a mom with a son.
In the past, Qiao Zijin had always watched on from the sidelines. But because of her mom’s attitude today, Qiao Zijin felt that she should, perhaps, let her mom have a taste of how it was to have a child like that in the family. Prostitution, gambling, and drugs were strictly forbidden.. Leaving aside prostitution, she would use either gambling or drugs to show her mom what a truly ‘unfilial’ child was like.
