Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Cheng Yinfeng and her group came with seven people this time: Cheng Yinfeng, Deng Dezhu, my eldest cousin Deng Mengnan, my second cousin Deng Zhaonan and her family of three, and my cousin Deng Yaobang, just like in the previous life. Seeing Deng Zhaonan about to put a shirt on himself, I looked at my phone and saw that Cheng Xinyuan had sent a message. I walked up and pulled away Deng Zhaonan's hand that was pulling at his clothes, and said to everyone with a smile: "Yuanyuan has booked a restaurant, let's go eat, you must be starving after being here for so long, look at Zishuo, his head is drooping from hunger."

Meng Zishuo is the son of Deng Zhaonan, who is already 13 years old. He is fat and has big ears. His fat features are all squeezed into a ball. He has not said a word from the beginning to now, nor has he called anyone. He just sat there playing games. When he heard me calling his name, Zishuo raised his head and said, "Well, I'm hungry..." This child is quite big, but his voice is thin and small, like a mosquito.

It would be strange if they were not hungry. Every time they come here, they are on an empty stomach, just waiting for the lunch. Ms. Lin usually goes out to buy beef and chicken... It takes at least two hours to get here from their home. The little fat boy is at the age of growing up, and I'm afraid his stomach has growled several times.

Ms. Lin also took action: "Let's go. The water is out today and we can't cook. It's the same if we go out to eat. It's also more convenient." She pulled Cheng Yinfeng up, and the others followed. Ms. Lin quickly locked the door and handed me the key: "We'll be eating for a long time today. Keep it safe. I'm afraid I'll lose it."

I took the key and put it in my bag. Deng Zhaonan's annoying voice rang out again: "Oh, it looks like my cousin is the one who is in charge of this household..."

"You're giving it to me instead of me?" I looked at Deng Zhaonan, feeling a little amused. It was really such a trivial matter that could arouse her sensitive and fragile nerves. "This is my biological mother. We have a spiritual connection. What's the big deal about installing a key?" I deliberately emphasized the four words "spiritual connection" and put my arm around Ms. Lin's arm in an intimate manner. She probably would never have this kind of relationship with her biological mother. Humph, it would excite her to death.

"Where can we go to eat? It's too far, I won't go. I'm so tired." Zishuo's voice was as thin as a mosquito. Ms. Lin frowned, "It's not far, just turn a corner and you'll be there. Just follow me." Ms. Lin took me and walked in front, not talking to the people behind, because she knew they would follow.

Ms. Lin held one of my hands with both of hers, very tightly and carefully, as if she was afraid that she would lose me if she lost the hold of one of them.

I walked beside her and looked at her profile. She pursed her lips and frowned. I reached out and stroked her brow: "It's okay, Mom. Don't think about your dream. Dreams and reality are the opposite!" I thought she was still struggling over the dream. Since meeting Cheng Yinfeng and the others, Ms. Lin hasn't said much.

Ms. Lin sighed and patted my hands: "It's okay, don't think about it!"

Arriving at the hotel, Cheng Xinyuan booked a large private room on the second floor, which was big enough for more than a dozen people. When we arrived, Cheng Xinyuan was sitting at a round table playing games. When he saw us, he stood up and greeted Cheng Yinfeng and the others. I raised my eyebrows and looked at my brother, how polite he was. Even so, Cheng Yinfeng never had a good face for him. Even though Cheng Xinyuan was a boy, even though Cheng Xinyuan was the son of her favorite brother, she didn't like Cheng Xinyuan. In my previous life, I was also puzzled and didn't understand why she also hated Cheng Xinyuan. Now from my perspective as a reborn person, she just simply hated Ms. Lin. She hated anyone and anything that was close to Ms. Lin. She blamed Ms. Lin for teaching us bad things, and also blamed us for not being close to Cheng Xingmin. Humph, that dad, how could we get close to each other...

As soon as we sat down, the waiter came in to hand over the menu. Meng Zishuo snatched the menu away. I snorted coldly, Cheng Xinyuan also pouted, and Ms. Lin didn't react. Just order whatever he wants. Anyway, what to eat in the end is not decided by this ignorant little fat boy. Deng Zhaonan approved of her son's behavior. The mother and son had a lot of fun flipping through the menu.

I looked around: Cheng Yinfeng and Deng Dezhu were whispering to each other, glancing at me from time to time, probably discussing how to start the conversation later; Deng Yaobang was drinking water, his eyes were empty, I don’t know what he was thinking; Deng Mengnan was watching his sister and nephew happily ordering food, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn’t say it out loud; Meng Zhenwei, on the other hand, was stroking his chin and looking at me, what did he mean? This cousin-in-law has never had a sense of presence in my place, I looked at him out of the blue, why did he...wink at me? No matter how slow I was, I reacted, and my mind suddenly rushed to my past life. There was a period of time in my past life when Deng Zhaonan called me "shameless" and "dead vixen" whenever she saw me. Although I would fight back, I would also wonder why she called me that. Now I understand, it turns out that this is the crux of the matter. Haha, I really overestimated this couple in the past, and naively thought that they at least had a good relationship. It's really disgusting!

The waiter walked out with a full menu, feeling satisfied. I looked at the expressions of Deng Zhaonan and his mother, who seemed determined to cheat us to death. How could I let them succeed? I gave Cheng Xinyuan a look, and Cheng Xinyuan left on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

The atmosphere at the table was a bit weird. The dishes hadn't been served yet, but Meng Zishuo was tapping the cutlery with chopsticks impatiently. Cheng and Deng were still muttering to each other. Deng Zhaonan was pinching Meng Zhenwei's arm, and Meng Zhenwei kept saying "ouch" while glancing at me. Deng Mengnan wanted to say something but never took action. Deng Yaobang next to him was watching a video on his phone with the volume turned up loud... Ms. Lin said nothing, with an indifferent expression, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

I was upset by this weird atmosphere. In my previous life, I knew nothing. I was busy like a fool, and I was worried whether the dishes I cooked would suit their taste. Meng Zishuo was still knocking the tableware with chopsticks, and I suddenly shouted at him: "Why are you knocking? You're begging for food!"

Everyone was startled, and Meng Zishuo said timidly: "I'm hungry..."

"If you're hungry, just wait! If you still have the energy to knock around, then you're not hungry at all!" I shouted again.

"What does a kid know? Why are you yelling at him?" Deng Zhaonan reacted, quickly hugged the little fat boy, and yelled at me.

"You have to teach me if you don't understand. It's unlucky to knock on the tableware while eating. Do you think your life is too long?" I looked at Deng Zhaonan jokingly. There has always been a saying in my hometown that knocking on the tableware while eating is disrespectful to the elders and will shorten their lifespan.

"Then why can't you just talk to me nicely? Look how scared my son is! Besides, it's not your turn to care!" Deng Zhaonan glared at me.

"Will he listen if I talk to him nicely? Does he know to call me aunt? His parents are flirting with each other, his aunt and uncle are only concerned about themselves, and his grandparents are plotting against his aunt. His knocking makes me upset. I am also his elder, so why can't I say it? I should teach him the same way my second aunt taught me before." I said calmly. Cheng Yinfeng was anxious: "How can you say that I am plotting against you? It's for your own good!"

"I'm doing this for your grandson's good. We are a family, and he's already a teenager. It's okay to keep complaining about him. Just change it. If this happens outside, even if people don't say anything to your face, they may still say something about you behind your back. They may say that the child is ignorant and that you have no manners. ~" I changed the subject and said, "Sister, you see, Second Aunt loves me and cares about my feelings. She only explained when she heard my niece say that she was scheming, but she didn't care that her own grandson was still hungry~"

Deng Zhaonan was so angry that he wanted to refute but didn't know what to say. He glared at Cheng Yinfeng and said nothing more.

Cheng Yinfeng saw that things were not going well and quickly sat down next to me, took my hand and said earnestly, "I'm really doing this for your own good. What's the point of a girl like you reading so much? Don't you have to get married after graduation? In the past, jobs were assigned, but now it's different. With your major, what good job can you get? You might as well get married early while you're still young. Isn't the whole purpose of a woman's life to marry into a good family?"

Haha, the same words as in the previous life...

Seeing that I was indifferent, she continued, "We have good genes. Look at the girls we gave birth to, each one is more beautiful than the other. Isn't this our greatest asset? Your uncle said that he had been matchmaking for so many years, and this was the first time he met such a good family. He said he would marry my niece without a second thought! They are well-off, an only child, have a house and a car, and their parents are sensible people. What's more, the betrothal gift is 18 yuan! 8 yuan, my goodness, no matter how good your job is, you still have to earn it for a few years. Whether you can earn it or not, you will lose your youth!"

Seeing that she looked like she was doing this for my own good, I felt so angry.

Just as she was about to speak, Cheng Xinyuan pushed the door open and said, "My sister is in school, why is she getting married?" It seemed that he heard what Cheng Yinfeng said outside.

"You kid, it will be good for you if your sister gets married! This silly child knows nothing!" Cheng Yinfeng glared at Cheng Xinyuan.

"Be nice to me. Humph, I'm not like some people who depend on my own sister's dowry to live!" Cheng Xinyuan looked at Cheng Yinfeng sitting in his original seat, and pulled another chair to sit on the other side of me in a bad mood.

As soon as Cheng Xinyuan said this, the faces of the people at the table changed instantly...
