Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

The property aunt happily put on the skirt I picked for her, and Ms. Lin also gave her a set of underwear. She was not polite at all and called me "sister" more and more affectionately.

The power line incident has come to an end for the time being, but it is not over yet. Hmph, Cheng Xingmin has not yet settled his account...

"Sister, with a father like that, it would be weird if he could admit that he did it~" Cheng Xinyuan frowned and bit an apple. Obviously, he knew very well what kind of person his father was.

"I don't expect him to admit it. The purpose is to take precautions before it happens. Do we have to wait until a disaster occurs? But it should be enough to scare and intimidate him. This job is ours, we don't have to worry about it~" I stared at the apple in Cheng Xinyuan's hand. Why did he eat it again?

"Come on, my mother is the type who doesn't want to offend anyone, who can she argue with? Just wait, she'll forgive me in a couple of days. I never have any expectations of my mother~"

Ms. Lin went out to see the property manager off. When she came back, she just happened to hear Cheng Xinyuan's last words, "What kind of evil thing did I do to make my son say such disappointing words?"

“Nothing…” Cheng Xinyuan stood up guiltily without finishing the apple.

"Cheng Xinyuan and I are guessing how long it will take you to forgive my father this time, three days, five days, or not to blame him at all? After all, the matter has basically been resolved, and my father may not admit that he did it. In a few days, maybe you will just pretend that nothing happened. Anyway, he is not at home now~" To be honest, my heart was also beating fast. I knew Ms. Lin too well. I told her the worst outcome, and she was also concerned. But after that, I could only confirm that what happened in the last life would not happen again, and I was not sure about Ms. Lin's attitude towards Cheng Xingmin, whether she was disappointed, and even if she was, was she really disappointed? It was too difficult to really implement the divorce plan...

It's so ironic and funny that what I think about day and night is how to make my own parents divorce.

"It seems that I'm a failure as a mother. No wonder you have no confidence. People in the property management say that I'm too good-tempered and good at doing business, but I'm too indulgent to your father." Ms. Lin shook her head helplessly.

"What about this time? You still indulge him?" Cheng Xinyuan frowned again. It was said that Cheng Xinyuan looked like Cheng Xingmin, but the way he frowned was exactly the same as Ms. Lin.

"No!" Ms. Lin shook her head. "I have forgiven him time and time again. I am really disappointed this time!" Seeing Cheng Xinyuan and I look in disbelief, she said with a wry smile: "Your mother is soft-tempered, but she is not without temper. If I don't lose my temper, your father will think I am a sick cat!"

"Isn't it always like this!" Cheng Xinyuan grabbed his hair in annoyance. "Aren't you tired of this kind of plot after so many years? You say you're disappointed, you quarrel twice, you have a cold war for a few days, and then you reconcile inexplicably, and then you do it again next time, over and over again. I'm tired of you even if you're not! You always say you want to be tough, but where are you tough? He hasn't changed, and neither have you! If my sister hadn't discovered it early this time, who knows what would have happened in the future!"

"It hasn't come to that yet...Haven't I been tolerating it all along for the good of you and your sister?" Haha, it's like this again. Ms. Lin just kept saying these few words over and over again.

"How far have you thought? Wait until someone reports him and has him arrested? By then, no matter how many connections you have, they won't be able to save him! You always say that it's for my and my sister's good. If you really wanted to do this for my and my sister's good, you should have divorced him long ago! In the final analysis, it's all for your own face! I certainly have no expectations of you. You yourself admit that you've failed as a mother because you always do this!" Cheng Xinyuan kicked over the stool angrily and turned to go upstairs.

"Stop!" I shouted at Cheng Xinyuan. "Are you angry? You go upstairs after the quarrel and run away when you don't get your way. In this respect, you are the same as our father! Sit down!" Cheng Xinyuan reluctantly pulled up the stool and sat down with a pout.

"Look, I'm useless as a mother, but he still listens to you..."

"Can you please not add fuel to the fire?" Ms. Lin's tone of voice made me want to hit someone. "We want to solve problems, not create more problems!" I pulled a stool over and sat opposite them, crossing my legs, arms around my chest, with a serious expression. I didn't care about anything. At this moment, I was the head of the family and it was urgent to rectify the family tradition!

"You should be happy that the problem has been solved, but why are you quarreling again after just a few words? He was the one who did it, and now we three are the ones cleaning up his mess. Why should he hide away so quietly? If you want to quarrel, you should quarrel with him. Even if he's not around and you're on the phone, you should quarrel with him. Use the energy you two just used to quarrel with him!"

"Mom, where did your energy in negotiating with the property management just now go? I thought you were rising, but how come you collapsed halfway through your rise? Ah, my dad is an excavator, how can he not let you rise?"

"I... I am really disappointed this time, Lin Lin. I have listened to everything you said. If not for anything else, I have to care about your future. The property management has said that it is fortunate that I took the initiative to confess. If others had found out, they would have called the police directly. I know what the consequences will be. I know what I am doing!" Ms. Lin said with a look of determination.

"Well, I believe you when you say that. But what happens afterwards? Are you just disappointed in your heart, but the surface remains the same?"

"No, definitely not. I must have a good talk with him..."

"Just a chat...?" Cheng Xinyuan rolled his eyes.

"Mom, don't blame Cheng Xinyuan for his bad attitude towards you. It's really because of what you did that we both lost confidence. If we could talk about my dad, our family wouldn't be like this now. What's so domineering about him? Why are you afraid of him because he bullies the weak and fears the strong? Even if you two don't separate, you have to change your status!"

"Yes, I've thought about it! But he holds the financial power of our family! Money is needed everywhere, especially you two. How can we not go along with him?" Ms. Lin said dejectedly.

"Oh my God!" I put my hand on my forehead. "I just want to ask you, is this store yours?"

"Yes."

“Do you buy the clothes and sell them?”

"Yes."

"Did you borrow any help from my father when you opened this store?"

"No, I did it all by myself. I didn't even bother to hire a salesperson. When I first opened the store, your father wouldn't let me do it!"

“Is the store’s profit much higher than his salary?”

"Of course, running a business is hard work. Why would I open a shop if I don't earn as much as he does? Even though the money is not with me, it's all recorded in my account book!"

"That's it! You have your own shop and you make more money than him, so why do you have to be so servile in front of him!" I slapped my thigh hard. Ms. Lin also looked a little excited, but then...

"The money is in his hands. I have no confidence in anything I do..."

"Can't you take charge of the finances yourself?" Cheng Xinyuan was also anxious. "Didn't you understand what my sister meant? Mom! Why should you give him all the money you earn? In other families, the husbands hand over their wages, but in our family, it's the other way around!"

"Ah, do you think I don't want to take the money into my own hands? No one wants to think like me. I'm angry too. Why did he take all the money? I don't have as much money as you two!" Ms. Lin also got angry. "But I use his card and have to pay it back on time every month. He takes the money to pay off his credit card..."

I was so speechless that I was scratching my ears and cheeks. Cheng Xinyuan rolled his eyes and ignored me.

"Ms. Lin! Boss Lin! What can I say about you? You didn't listen to all the analysis I gave you this morning, right? I thought you really listened. Your friends all say you're an idiot, but you really think they're praising you for being honest!"

Ms. Lin looked up at me, unable to utter a word.

"Let's analyze it bit by bit. First of all, he has to pay back the credit card, which is understandable, after all, I really used it, but do you know how much it is when I pay it back? Yes, he will give you the card every time he purchases goods, but my father is the cardholder. Are you so naive to think that you are the only one who uses the card and he doesn't use it normally?" Ms. Lin raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, as if she suddenly understood something. I looked at her and was speechless and funny. It's not easy for her and Cheng Xingmin to support Cheng Xinyuan and me to be so righteous and intelligent~

"My dear mother, you have realized it now. I'm afraid you have been using your own money to support all his expenses for so many years. I would like to ask you, have you seen his salary card? Do you know how much his monthly salary is now? Has he been honest with you? You have also suffered a great loss. Where does your blind trust come from? You think you have had it easy in the past few years just doing business and not caring about money, but you didn't even know that the backyard was burned to ashes when it caught fire!" Well... Ms. Lin has always been the one who takes care of the outside world, and it is right that Cheng Xingmin is her backyard.

"I'm such an idiot!" Ms. Lin stood up suddenly, looking very imposing. "Humph, he doesn't spend his own money but only mine. When I want some money, I have to look at his face and listen to his humiliation! Why should I bear this injustice? The money he has taken from me over the years is enough to pay off my credit card many times over! No, I have to save face for myself. I can't use his card anymore. I don't believe that I can't even get goods in without a credit card. Didn't I always pay with cash before?" As she spoke, she glanced at the QR code on the counter and knocked it to the ground without hesitation, breaking the acrylic shell directly. "He still has the nerve to use his own QR code. I'll print it out later and replace it with my own! Don't even think about taking a penny from me in the future!"
