40 Xiaobu's resistance was strange now. Everyone looked at Xiaobu in surprise. Even the strict Yang Quanxin was stunned for a moment. Xiaobu actually dared to talk back, and the reply came from Zheng Shu.
"Mom, even if you don't want it in your heart, Yifeng and I are already husband and wife. Whether you admit it or not, as your daughter-in-law, I will still fulfill my filial piety. I don't understand, I don't understand why you must
By interfering with Yifeng's marriage, can't he have the relationship he wants? Does the eldest son of the Yang family have an obligation to marry a well-matched wife to strengthen the Yang family? What's the point of this kind of political marriage? A wife is like his own shoes
, only he knows whether to squeeze or not, so why do you have to step in? Isn’t it good for everyone to live in peace and harmony? Everything will be happy if the family is harmonious!"
Xiaobu's voice was still low, but steady and orderly. Her words were fired out like bullets, hitting Zheng Shu's forehead deeply.
Yang Yifeng froze at the corner of the stairs, a joy welling up spontaneously, Xiao Bu understood his heart.
Zheng Shu paused for three seconds after hearing this, being blocked by Xiao Bu and unable to speak.
Yang Yining was reading the newspaper, but the news in the newspaper was far less fresh than the incident at home.
Yang Quanxin's facial muscles moved, and Xiao Bu's words were deeply burned into the old man's heart. He couldn't help but ask himself, does the development and growth of the Yang family require his son to sacrifice his own happiness?
"Ahem, Mom, you drink tea." Yang Yining brought a cup of tea at the right time, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. "Mom, please speak slowly if you have something to say. What Xiaobu said is right." She also took the opportunity to try.
advise.
Zheng Shu glared at her daughter and thought to herself that this Fang Xiaobu was really better than Cui Youli back then. Her tricks of deceiving people were really passed down. What is the mother like, so is the daughter she gave birth to.
.
She picked up the tea cup and threw it to the ground. There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound and the tea splashed all over the floor. "Fang Xiao Bu," she shouted, pointing at Xiao Bu with trembling fingers, "Listen to me.
That's right, I just don't accept you, I just don't accept the daughter of a woman who seduced her best friend's husband. You are all bastards and deserve to be trampled on. As long as I am here in the Yang family, you will never be able to legitimately become my son.
Wife, the law recognizes you, but I don’t."
Zheng Shu was a bit anxious, and she would say whatever Yang Quanxin was taboo about. Seeing her mother getting closer and closer to Xiaobu, Yifeng ran downstairs in three steps and stood in front of her mother, "Mom, please pay attention to dad's mood, okay?"
.”
At this time, Yang Quanxin, who was silent, attracted everyone's attention. His flushed face, clenched fists, and bulging blood vessels on his forehead were all roaring silently. Xiaobu leaned down and reached out to caress Yang Quanxin's chest.
, "Dad, don't get excited. How do you feel?"
Zheng Shu pointed at her nose and shouted, "Fang Xiaobu, take your dirty hands away. You are as shameless as your mother. Don't touch my husband with your dirty hands."
"Mom, have you had enough?" Yang Yining couldn't bear it anymore. Her temper was like that of Yang Quanxin. If it had been before, Yang Quanxin would have roared to stop her. Now, it's time for her daughter to stand up.
"Yining, why are you also attracted to this vixen?" Zheng Shu was unwilling to give in.
Yang Yining said righteously, "Mom, I'm not against anyone, and I'm not taking any side. I just think what Xiao Bu said is right, everything will be prosperous when the family is harmonious. Can't you just stop for a while for dad's health?"
?"
At this time, Yang Quanxin, who had been silent, coughed a few times and just said, "Help me go upstairs..."
Once the tiger's sharp teeth were pulled out, there was no room for argument, but the momentum was still there. After hearing Yang Quanxin's simple words, Zheng Shu did not dare to open her mouth again.
Yang Yifeng turned around and squatted in front of his father's wheelchair, carrying his father upstairs, and Xiaobu followed.
Only Yang Yining was left with Zheng Shu in the living room. Zheng Shu went limp all over and slumped on the sofa. Overwork and exhaustion kept coming back. With tears in her eyes, she hated Cui Youli for stealing her husband, and she hated Fang even more.
Xiaobu's bewildering appearance now.
"Mom, why can't you calm down again?" Yang Yining comforted, "No matter what, you should have a sense of what you should say and what not say in front of dad. Dad had just been discharged from the hospital after a car accident.
, do you still want him to go back to the hospital?"
Zheng Shu dragged her forehead with her hands, her downcast face was full of unwillingness, and she kept crying, "Yining, Yifeng doesn't know, don't you still know? You were sensible that year, and now you have gone through a period of
A failed marriage, why don’t you understand the pain in your mother’s heart?”
"Mom, Cui Youli is dead, and she wasn't the one who seduced Dad, it was Dad who was too sentimental! He is my dad and I shouldn't say that to him, but Aunt Cui is indeed innocent. She and Uncle Fang are not living well.
, now that everyone is gone, why do you still care?"
"She is dead, but her daughter is still there. Every time I see Fang Xiaobu, I can't help but think of Cui Youli. They look almost exactly the same..." Zheng Shu reached out to touch her tears, "Fang Xiaobu came back to snatch men.
If Cui Youli robbed my husband, she would rob my son, my only son."
Yang Yining became more excited after hearing this, "Mom, these are the grievances of the previous generation. We have all tasted the pain of our husbands cheating, but what you are doing now is to make Yifeng cheat too? By doing this, you hurt Xiaobu,
It also hurt Yifeng, and it hurt Chu Yang even more. You clearly know that Yifeng doesn’t care about Chu Yang at all..."
"Child, you young people don't understand... Chu Yang is Chu Dayuan's daughter, and she is my carefully selected daughter-in-law. She can help Yifeng and the Yang family. Relationships need to be cultivated. Your father and I got married that year
When I got married, I didn’t really see each other until the wedding day..." At this point, she paused with a guilty conscience. Maybe it was because of her parents’ orders that made Yang Quanxin unwilling to go out and fool around.
Yang Yining thought it was ridiculous, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her mother's deep-rooted ideas could not be eliminated with just a few words of persuasion, "Mom, our Yang family... doesn't need Yifeng to consolidate it through marriage, right?!"
"Yes, but even if it's not Chu Yang, it can't be Fang Xiaobu."
Yang Yining sighed, she had given up completely, "Mom, if you don't talk about this, you should also take a good rest, wait for a while until dad is relieved, and you can stay with him. In the days to come, the person dad needs most is you.
…”
Zheng Shu nodded, "Well..."
In the room on the second floor, Yang Yifeng carefully placed his father on the bed.
Yang Quanxin closed his eyes, with tears shining in the corners of his eyes. He waved his hand, which was as dry as old tree bark, "Go out, I want to be alone for a while."
Yifeng and Xiaobu looked at each other and said, "Okay, Dad, we are outside. If you need something, call us..."
Yang Quanxin did not open his eyes, but nodded silently.
