"I've had enough. What's the good of having a family? If it wasn't for Cheng Lie, if it wasn't for Cheng Lie—"

Hearing her talk about Cheng Lie, Zhou's mother shrank her eyes, and lowered her head, only looking at the teacup in her hand.

But Tang Xiao's hands and feet were cold, and he tremblingly said: "Because of getting married, I lost my proud career. Do I want to watch my next generation continue to be bound by getting married? No...they even suspect that it is not It's too ridiculous to be a family member. It's too ridiculous...Mother Zhou, take all those things back, I don't want alms from the family, I don't need it!"

"Young madam, calm down, madam is also because... I saw that you had a close relationship with that young master of the Pei family, so you—"

"That's why I hate having a family. Do you think I don't know that she sent people to follow me and investigate my every move? Even the nursing home has her eyeliner, doesn't it?"

"Young lady..."

"I found out a long time ago, do they really think I don't know anything?"

Tang Xiao sneered.

"Young Madam... I don't know if I should say something, but it's just you and me here today, so let me say it."

Zhou Ma put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Tang Xiao and sighed.

"Young Madam, you are just too stubborn. You don't need power, status, or wealth. Do you really not need it for your next generation? How many people dream of that, and how many people spend their entire lives trying to cross classes but can't get it. It's all in front of your eyes."

"As long as the child you give birth to is determined to be a family member, then he will receive the best education, the best resources, and everything about him is the best and the best. He will be a master from the moment he is born - isn't that true?" Isn't it worth your forbearance, isn't it worth letting go of your freedom for a while?"

"In my whole life, I don't have a career that you are proud of, but I am most fortunate that I followed the right person - I followed my wife to the married family when she got married, and I have stayed in the married family to take care of my wife for most of my life. I don’t have the freedom you mentioned, but what did I get? I got the money that countless elites in the industry couldn’t earn in their lifetime, and I got some resources that my relatives and friends can get married because of me. They spend most of their lives fighting less! I am grateful for getting married, if I didn’t get married, how would I be where I am today?”

"Young madam, don't say such silly things as not needing to start a family anymore, and don't seek freedom for the second young master. Does the second young master really need freedom? Why don't you ask him yourself? In the past, the young lady fell in love with that poor boy, and you Help her date that poor boy, but what is the result? The young lady has broken up with the poor boy. Now that the young lady is married into the Ye family and lives happily—what does that mean?"

"You can live happily only if you are in the right family. Some things are doomed early on. How can class be just class? Since you have married into a family, you should stop treating yourself as an ordinary person. The only one who suffers like this is you Yourself—why do you have to compete with yourself?"

Zhou Ma said so much in one breath, she seemed a little tired, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, seeing that Tang Xiao was still sullen and stubborn, she couldn't help but sighed again.

"Maybe what you said is right, but for me, I just want to be the person I want to be, my future child, and I also want him to be the person he wants to be."

After a long silence, Tang Xiao said lightly.

Looking at Tang Xiao's young and beautiful face, Zhou's mother really wanted to say something, you are too naive, but for some reason, she suddenly seemed to see herself 30 years ago through Tang Xiao's face.

At that time, she liked a tall young man from the same village, who was a year older than herself, and his surname seemed to be Zhao, with a long and thin face, bright eyes, and a shy smile.

At that time, she was satisfied every time she looked at him from a distance, dreaming of marrying him and having children. Her biggest dream was to open a small shop in the village and live a peaceful life with him.

Regret?
She still can't forget him.

There are countless times when I return to my hometown in my dream and watch him from afar.

If life could be repeated, she would choose to live an ordinary life of opening a small shop in her hometown and having children with the man she likes, or she would serve the married family for decades, receive a high salary, and enjoy the resources of the married family. Is there a luxury car to pick you up?
She thought she never regretted her choice.

But at this moment, she was a little confused.

If life starts over again...

No.

It's impossible to do it again.

She woke up suddenly, gathered herself together, and looked at Tang Xiao again.

"...Young Madam, you are still young, and there are some things that you may not understand now."

She still defends her position.

She thought she was doing it for her own good.

However, Tang Xiao smiled lightly and looked directly at her with clear and energetic eyes.

"Whether I am clear or confused in your eyes, I only know one thing, life is only once, I want to live according to my own ideas, do what I want to do, become who I want to be, not go to Do what others say is right, and become a successful person in the eyes of others. Only in this way, you will not regret it when you are seventy or eighty."

Mother Zhou couldn't help but startled.

Every word and every sentence seemed to hit her heart.

She didn't read many books, but she vaguely felt that what the young lady said might be right.

only……

She no longer has the right to be herself.

They're all this age.

If you do it all over again... who knows if you will regret it the same way?

By lowering her head and sipping tea, she concealed her panic.

Raising her head again, she regained her calm look.

"Young Madam, please tell me, let Xiao Zhang pick you up on New Year's Eve."

Tang Xiao frowned and said, "Let's talk about it when Cheng Lie comes back."

Hearing the word "Cheng Lie", Zhou's mother's hand trembled slightly, and a complex look flashed across her eyes.

At this time, the sound of fingerprint unlocking came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Cheng Feng walked in pushing the trolley case.

"Sister-in-law, you're still up so late, are you waiting for me?"

Cheng Feng said something with a smile. Although there was tiredness in his voice, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Before Tang Xiao spoke, he suddenly saw Zhou Ma who stood up from the sofa and turned to look over, and was taken aback: "Huh? Zhou Ma? Why are you here?"

"Second young master, I'll pick you up."

Zhou Ma looked at Cheng Feng and smiled lovingly.

Cheng Feng put down the suitcase, frowned and said, "I won't go back."

"Madam is not in good health, you should go back and have a look."

Mother Zhou sighed.

Cheng Feng was about to refute, but saw Zhou's mother looking at him with sad eyes.

He immediately understood what mother Zhou wanted to say.

"...Mother Zhou, go down and wait in the car first, I'll get down later."

He said.

"Ok."

Zhou Ma said goodbye to Tang Xiao and left soon.

After Zhou's mother left, Tang Xiao asked Cheng Feng, "Why are you so obedient today?"

Cheng Feng naturally couldn't tell the truth, he just said: "I haven't been back for many days, I miss my mother."

Tang Xiao didn't quite believe it, but after thinking about it, although her mother-in-law never had a good look towards him, she still doted on Cheng Feng, the youngest son.

It's normal for Cheng Feng to think about his mother after being outside for so long.

Then he said: "Well, you can go back, by the way... I made soup in the kitchen, do you want to drink some before going back?"

Cheng Feng was touched and said: "It is specially prepared for me? Sister-in-law, you are so kind to me!"

As he said that, he was about to rush over to give Tang Xiao a hug, but Tang Xiao smiled and dodged and walked to the kitchen.

"Zhou's mother is still waiting below, you drink quickly, don't make people wait in a hurry."

Cheng Feng Pidian Pidian'er followed Tang Xiao, and nuzzled and said: "My mother has not been in good health for the past few months, and Zhou Ma took care of the family affairs. Now she has become the head of our family. .”

Tang Xiao was not surprised. While talking with Zhou Ma, she found that Zhou Ma was very different from before.

"Well, Mother Zhou is indeed much more capable than before."

she said casually.

"actually……"

Cheng Feng wanted to say that Zhou's mother looked more energetic than his mother now, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he swallowed the words back.

Forget it, maybe he thought too much.

After all, Zhou's mother watched the three siblings grow up, and has been with his mother for so many years.

Tang Xiao took out the soup bowl and spoon from the sterilizer, and asked, "Actually, what? Why don't you say something halfway?"

"Not really."

Cheng Feng stretched his head over Tang Xiao's shoulder, looked at the golden pot of big bone soup and smacked his tongue: "Sister-in-law's cooking is extraordinary, this soup is really delicious!"

"You haven't drunk it yet, how do you know it's all good in color and fragrance?"

Tang smiled and glanced at him.

"Sister-in-law's products must be high-quality products, so what's the point?"

Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Come on, don't be poor, drink quickly."

Tang Xiao filled a bowl of soup, with a few red dates and wolfberries floating on it, inside were soft boiled tube bones and lotus root, and underneath were Poria cocos, barley, lily, etc.

The aroma spread out with the curling water vapor, and Cheng Feng took the soup bowl from Tang Xiao's hand, and couldn't help swallowing before drinking it.

Holding the soup bowl in both hands, Cheng Feng came to the dining table and sat down, breathed a few breaths impatiently, and started drinking just like that, regardless of the heat.

Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Feng's gluttonous expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Be careful it's hot."

"Well...it's delicious!"

Cheng Feng took a sip, his eyes lit up immediately, and he gave Tang Xiao a thumbs up.

Tang Xiao pursed his lips and smiled: "I'll boil it for you when you come back."

"Ok!"

Cheng Feng nodded sharply.

He was really a little reluctant to leave.

However, he knew in his heart that he had to go back this trip.

Mom's health is getting worse and worse, and the previous illness has been repeated.

No matter how much he bothers her, he still loves her in his heart.

Moreover, the eldest brother probably won't come back.

Who can mom count on now?
He vaguely heard some rumors that there seemed to be something wrong with Dad, and someone came to investigate two days ago——

This was never possible in the past.

What happened to dad?
He doesn't know.

He thought, if mom told him to go back this time, maybe she would tell him.

With his ability, if something happened to his family, he would not be able to support the family.

But at least...

Let him stay the fuck.

"Sister-in-law, if you are asked to move back to live, you will definitely not agree, will you?"

He pretended to ask casually.

The smile on Tang's smiling face faded a bit: "Well, you know, I'm a person who is used to freedom, and it's good to live here."

Cheng Feng knew this would be the answer.
