Upon her daughterâs questioning, Mother Yun sighed deeply.
âItâs alright, just take care of yourself. After all, youâre carrying twins. Howâs Zhang Jiang treating you? And how about your in-laws?â
Hence, Yun Meng was diverted from her original topic, and began to talk about her mother-in-law,â My older brother-in-law is getting married again. My mother-in-law is so occupied with this matter, leaving us alone. Zhang Jiang and his parents are not getting along as well as before due to the previous incident. He only greets them out of etiquette these days. My in-laws didnât criticize him either. After all, itâs true they are biased toward their eldest son and allowed the nephew to bully our Little Zhuzi and steal his snacks.â
Mother Yun thought about the past upon hearing her daughterâs words.
Did she indulge her two daughters-in-law in bullying her grandson?
This bitterness could only be swallowed silently.
She now wishes to see her grandson but canât.
âMother, you still havenât told me, who spread the rumor? Who has such a big mouth to say all these things and isnât afraid of a rotten mouth? How will Little Huzi get through his future? Is he supposed to carry this blame forever? Is this rumor why my sister-in-law moved to the town?â
âMother, whatâs wrong with you? Did you get heatstroke, or are you not feeling well?â Yun Meng noticed her motherâs face growing more and more wrong and quickly asked with concern.
Mother Yun shook her head, âIâm okay, Iâm okay.â
âMother, where is my sister-in-law in town? When I get some time, Iâll go to the town and visit them. Itâs good that my sister-in-law moved to the town, at least there are no more these rumors.â
After staying for a while, Yun Meng left to go home and comfort her son.
Mother Yun had been sitting there when Father Yun came back, and she was still in the same spot.
âWhat happened?â
Mother Yun did not look at Father Yun, but simply said, âYun Meng came by just now. I asked her about her in-laws. Father-in-law is getting married again. Zhang Jiang, who was once very filial, now only greets his parents politely and doesnât invite them to dinner at all.â
Father Yun instantly understood why his wife looked like this.
She was sentimental.
âWhy are you still dwelling on the past?â
Mother Yun forced a bitter smile, âIf I hadnât failed to stop it earlier, Hanhan wouldnât be recognising someone else as her father now and saying that sheâll take care of him until his death. We canât even see Little Huzi or our son anymore.â
Father Yun felt that his wife was stubbornly persisting in a wrong course, âThey are living in town now, you can visit them anytime. Just bring a little food and rice. As the saying goes, âdistant water doesnât put out a nearby fireâ, itâs better to keep our distance.â
But Mother Yun shook her head looking at Father Yun, and softly said, âI donât dare to go to town. I canât face my third son. There was indeed selfishness in not telling Hanhan about his real father back then.â
Mother Yun was full of self-blame now.
âAlright, alright, if you torture yourself like this, you might get really sick. We donât have much money, you better take good care of yourself!â
âI miss Little Huzi. Back then, I really thought Little Huzi was the bane of the third son, otherwise, why did the accident happen to the third son right after Little Huzi was born?â
Father Yun had already seen through all this.
So, he didnât force his wife, letting her slowly comprehend it all.
Father Yun felt a pang of regret, âAmong the grandsons, Little Huzi is the most well-behaved, seldom causing trouble. If not, Hanhan single-handedly taking care of both the father and son in addition to household chores, would not be able to cope.â
