"Before I married your father, I did give birth to a child."
Liu Yuqin continued: "It was when I was an educated youth in the countryside. That child was later taken away by the Yang family."
"Not long after, I returned to the city. I never saw that child again."
"In a blink of an eye, decades have passed..."
The middle-aged man was so filled that he overturned the fruit plate on the coffee table with a slap, causing the apples to scatter in all directions.
He stood up, put his hands on his hips, his face turned red, and he yelled angrily, but tried his best to lower his voice: "Mom, do you know what you are doing?"
"I am in the rising period now. I just signed up and am in the observation stage."
"Suddenly, this news has spread. Do you think I should continue to work in this position?"
"How did you do it after all these years? You have a huge secret hidden in your heart!"
He asked his mother: "Why didn't you eradicate the root cause? If you leave this scourge behind, it will harm us all now."
"Jiaojiao's ex-partner, the young man who died, who was he?"
"He is Jiaojiao's cousin. The two of them have blood. This is not ancient times."
The middle-aged man gestured angrily: "This is the 21st century, what is this, disgusting!"
Liu Yuqin rubbed her fingers and whispered: "Son, don't say it so harshly."
"It's not that serious."
The middle-aged man walked around angrily: "It's not that serious?"
"You got pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to an illegitimate child. You even knew that you abandoned the child in order to return to the city."
"Now tell me, it's not serious."
"You want to ruin my future and make us pay for your shamelessness!"
"I'm telling you, you need to think about this matter carefully."
"Leave no trouble for me."
After saying that, he glared at Liu Yuqin and walked out of the room.
Immediately afterwards, the courtyard gate slammed with a "clang" sound.
Liu Yuqin sat blankly on the sofa. The summer temperature obviously made her sweaty, but at this moment she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
His son has never treated him with such an attitude. It seems that what happened just now has touched his son's bottom line.
Yes, over the years, the three-good family that everyone has praised has such a hidden secret. What would people think?
Liu Yuqin sat in a daze, not noticing that the sun had set.
There was a knock on the courtyard door. Liu Yuqin stood up on the sofa, rubbed her knees, and walked out with a slight bend.
Walking to the door, she asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
A voice sounded outside the door: "Open the door, I am Yang Chenxi."
Liu Yuqin didn't want to open the door, but the voice outside the door became louder: "If you don't open the door, I will shout here and let the world know what immoral things you have done."
Liu Yuqin opened the door in fear and saw an old woman with a hunchback following Yang Chenxi.
After letting them in, Yang Chenxi sat down on his own and called to the old man: "Grandma, sit down too."
The old woman looked at Liu Yuqin who had returned, with cloudy eyes filled with tears: "Do you still remember me?"
Liu Yuqin stared at her: "You are...the aunt of the Yang family..."
The old woman nodded: "Yes, it's me."
"You are a good person. I will keep the things you left before you left."
"It's a pity that we don't have the ability to let our children go to school and be successful."
The old woman looked at Liu Yuqin and said in a begging tone: "I came today to ask you to save that poor child."
"I thank you for keeping this child, but her life is not good. She has this disease."
The old woman wiped away her tears: "As long as we have the means, we will not trouble you."
Liu Yuqin looked at her in embarrassment: "Don't embarrass me..."
When the old woman saw this, she knelt down and said, "Please, save her this time. We won't come to you again in the future."
Yang Chenxi became anxious. He stood up and walked over quickly to pick up the old woman: "Grandma, don't kneel down to her."
The old woman didn't get up, shook her head and cried: "It's important to save your mother."
Liu Yuqin couldn't help but said: "Are Deng Zhongzheng and his family still alive?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment: "That was a poor man too. He was the only one who died in the family. His son collapsed and died in the mine."
Liu Yuqin's heart skipped a beat, she gritted her teeth and took a deep breath: "Go find him."
Yang Chenxi frowned and asked Liu Yuqin: "What are you doing with that old man?"
The old woman suddenly understood and looked at Liu Yuqin blankly: "Could it be..."
"Did you and Deng Zhongzheng do it?"
Liu Yuqin didn't speak, but the expression on his face confirmed the answer.
She sighed softly and whispered: "Go find him."
"There's only so much I can do."
"You know, I've made it this far and have my own life. There's no way I could ruin my family for something that happened decades ago."
Yang Chenxi finally understood. He had the urge to punch the hypocritical and selfish woman in front of him to death.
The old woman took Yang Chenxi's arm: "Lin'er, let's go back."
Yang Chenxi's eyes were full of anger, and he pointed at Liu Yuqin: "Something worse than a beast."
"Why do not you go to hell?"
The old woman dragged Yang Chenxi away: "Let's go, let's go."
People leave, people come again...
Before Liu Yuqin could figure it out, the courtyard door rang again. She looked sideways and saw her son coming in.
Soon, her son came directly to her.
Liu Yuqin raised his head, with a few more wrinkles on his forehead, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with complicated eyes.
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I've thought about it a lot, Mom, and I'm going to call you Mom for the last time."
"I am now at a critical moment and cannot make any mistakes."
"Those unscrupulous people who came from poor and remote areas have nothing. Now they only think about how to make us lose."
"It's obviously an excuse to get sick again, and I want to take the opportunity to take revenge."
"I won't give them that chance."
Liu Yuqin asked her son tremblingly: "What do you want to do?"
There was a flash of pain and struggle in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then he was filled with severity.
Liu Yuqin raised her hand and pointed at her son tremblingly, her lips trembling: "You, I raised you up, how much I paid for you..."
Liu Yuqin shed tears: "Since you were a child, I gave birth to you and raised you. Is this how you repay me?"
"You're yelling at me for something like this!"
"That year, you were so greedy that you were almost taken away by a trafficker."
Liu Yuqin looked at her son, touched her chest and cried, "It was me who fought hard to get you back."
"How many nights did I stay by your side when you were sick..."
"Have you forgotten all of this?"
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "Then do one last thing for me!"
