Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Ms. Lin listened to her son telling the legend about her daughter in school, and her eyes kept looking at me, with pride, but more of self-blame. Cheng Xinyuan also noticed it, and changed his posture and continued: "Mom, I know you care about my studies. You were not like this before. When I was in elementary school, my sister went to the parent-teacher conference. You were busy with business at that time, so you didn't have time to take care of my studies. After my sister went to college, you realized that you never understood how my sister and I studied, and then you learned to deal with teachers. You put all the care that you didn't use on my sister on me, because you found that when you wanted to pay attention to my sister's studies, she no longer needed your care. In fact, she never needed your care. Her grades were so good that the teachers were amazed. You only know that she got the first place in the high school entrance examination, but do you know how many points she got? After so many years, no one can get the score that my sister got!"

"This is only junior high school. I dare not imagine how excited the teachers will be when they know I am Cheng Lin's younger brother if I am admitted to the No. 1 high school in the county. Mom, your daughter is praised by everyone no matter where she is! In addition to this family, there is also the Cheng family... You always say that as long as people do their best and have a clear conscience, there will be no trouble. But think about it yourself, has my sister done anything wrong? Has she had less trouble? Including you, have you done anything wrong? Have those people been less jealous of you? My sister is already so outstanding, I can see it, others can see it, and you can see it too... Only my father, I really can't understand what kind of person he is. He doesn't treat his own daughter well but cares so much about his nephew. If he is said to favor sons over daughters, I am also a boy, and I am his biological son. How good is he to me?"

"Of course he can be good to his nephew, but he is so good to his nephew and so harsh to his daughter. Who is the biological child? You believed him for so many years, but what happened? You go out and say that you have been doing clothing business for so many years and have no money, and your daughter has to work to support herself. Who would believe it? Isn't it funny?!" Cheng Xin was angry again. "If you ask me, we should not only hold the economic power firmly in our own hands, but also make them spit out everything they have taken! I don't believe it. , my father gives money to Cheng Xinlin every month, how could my uncle and aunt not know about it? Cheng Xinlin is competitive and loves to show off, and my aunt is jealous of you. You said that since our family moved here, my aunt has only come once, at most my uncle and Cheng Xinlin come, and Sister Xindan has not come much, why, isn't it because she is jealous that our family lives better than them? Look at their family, they have been in the county town for quite a while, aren't they still renting a house? His restaurant business is not good, I think it will go bankrupt sooner or later!" Cheng Xinyuan became more and more excited as he spoke, like a torrent of river water...

"I used to dislike their family very much. He ignored me even though I called Cheng Xinlin. At that time, I thought that no matter how much I disliked them, at least my uncle was reasonable. But now, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is not right. Hey, that family came out of the same big dye vat, how come my uncle is the only one who can stay out of it? Their family is different from ours. In our family, you and my father can both make money, and you were just fooled by my father and lost for a short time. My uncle is the absolute head of the family. Everything is in his hands. My aunt dare not even say a word in front of him. How can he tolerate his wife and son being timid and talking nonsense outside? How can he be indifferent when he sees his brother giving his son living expenses? Doesn't he always claim to be the most clear-headed and frank? Either he acquiesced to all this, or he deliberately led all this!" Cheng Xinyuan felt that he was right the more he spoke. He slammed the table and stood up, "No matter what, my uncle is not innocent! I will never treat my uncle the same way as before!"

I nodded to show my satisfaction. What a teachable boy!

Ms. Lin was also lost in thought because of what Cheng Xinyuan said. I didn't disturb her. Maybe she would remember something that I didn't know.

"I remember that every time your father and I had a fight, we would almost make up, and then he would go to your uncle's house, and when he came back he would start quarreling with me again. I have also thought before that maybe your uncle and others said something to your father about me, or gave him some advice, so that he would come back and dislike me and go against me!" Ms. Lin recalled.

"That's right!" Cheng Xinyuan patted his thigh, "My father doesn't have a lot of opinions of his own, and he is more willing to listen to my uncle. If you think that my uncle is giving my father advice and instilling in him how bad you are, how bad I am, and how bad my sister is every day, then my father will naturally become more and more dissatisfied with us, and then use the limited family conditions as an excuse to ask my father to give Cheng Xinlin living expenses every month. My father is like a fence-sitter, he listens to whatever his brother says... After a long time, he may have a lot of things in mind! What's more thought-provoking is that my uncle has always played the role of a righteous peacemaker in front of us. Damn~ It turns out that my uncle is the one who hides the deepest!"

Under my influence, Cheng Xinyuan loves to watch suspense dramas and read suspense novels. His imagination is even more amazing than mine...

The more Ms. Lin listened, the more frightened she became. She felt that she had been living in a trap of lies. Everyone was waiting for her to jump. She jumped willingly without knowing why. Not only did she jump, she also prepared to let her children jump as well. She thought it was a sweet jar of happiness, but she didn't know that she was a lamb to be slaughtered...

Ms. Lin covered her face and cried again, this time very quietly. I think the tears she shed today were more than she had shed in many years.

I walked up to her and said, "Mom, these are just speculations. The only thing we can be sure of is that my dad supports Cheng Xinlin every month. This is a foregone conclusion. You are also disappointed in him, aren't you?"

"No! It's not a guess!" Ms. Lin held my hand tightly. "Yuanyuan's analysis is right. I am stupid, I can't see clearly, and I made my daughter suffer so much. Lin Lin... When you were in high school, you once said to me, "If your father is the executioner, then I am the one who handed the knife to the executioner." At that time, I felt wronged. How could my daughter say that to me? How could she not see my efforts at all? In the past few years, that sentence has been like a knife hanging on my heart. But I didn't fully understand until today that what you said was right. I am not only the one who handed the knife to the executioner, but I was the one who pushed you to the guillotine with my own hands! Lin Lin, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I have lived for more than 50 years, and I thought I saw through many people and things, but in fact, I am the frog in the well! I don't understand life as well as my son and daughter, I..."

I patted Ms. Lin's hand and hugged her again. Then it was my turn to have a warm moment with Ms. Lin. "I really blamed you. I felt that my mother was really terrible. She didn't care about me that much. Her love could be divided into many parts, and I only took up a small part of it. So I tried my best to be sensible and share the burden. I wanted her to see me. But slowly, I also understood my mother. There were some things she couldn't help, and there were some things she didn't know herself, but it's not too late. Although she has a very bad husband and a bunch of bad relatives, she has the best daughter and son in the world!"

I let go of Ms. Lin and held her face with both hands. She was really well maintained, with delicate and elastic skin. There were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but they were not obvious, which added a bit of charm to her. She had four sisters, and she was the most outstanding in appearance. I heard from my aunt that when they were young, there was an old movie called "Chaoyanggou". Many people said that Ms. Lin looked like the heroine Yinhuan. She also had two big braids at that time, which was very beautiful. I was proud of looking like her countless times. Whenever someone said, "Cheng Lin, you are so beautiful, your daughter looks like your father, your father must be very handsome too", I would refute "No, I look like my mother"!

I said to Ms. Lin, "Dear mother, for the sake of your children, please be the bravest woman in the world no matter what!"

Ms. Lin burst into tears and just kept nodding her head.

"Then you have to work hard to sell clothes and make money! You said you would support me all over again~" Ms. Lin laughed out loud when she heard me acting coquettishly, "I want to wear beautiful skirts, high heels, and learn how to put on makeup. How can you not dress up such a beautiful daughter if you gave birth to her~" I continued to act coquettishly~

"Yes, yes, it should have been done long ago. I used to wonder why you were still wearing black clothes when your family sells clothes. Now I know. Our Lin Lin is also a little girl who loves to be beautiful, but she has always been buried..." Ms. Lin also touched my face, as if she couldn't see enough of looking at it.

Cheng Xinyuan interrupted this warm scene: "Hey, hey, there's me too~" He pulled a stool over and sat next to Ms. Lin and me, "I want to act like a spoiled child too~ Boys have to dress up, too~ Mom~ I've picked out a pair of sneakers~"

"roll!"

"Go to the other side!"

This time, Ms. Lin and I spoke in unison.

I found it funny and heartwarming to see Cheng Xinyuan trying to be a spoiled child. Whether in the last life or now, Cheng Xinyuan always stands firmly by my side.

I often wonder if my life would be worse if Cheng Xinyuan was not by my side. In the days without my parents, we were the closest sharers and listeners to each other, no matter joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. I also wonder if Cheng Xinyuan did not insist on following me and returned to his hometown to be raised by his grandmother or others, would he be like the other boys in the Cheng family now, selfish, petty, jealous of others’ talents…

Fortunately, God has been kind to me and I have the best brother in the world.
