Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Cheng Xingmin blew away the tea leaves floating on the top of the teacup, took two sips, and sighed that this tea was still not good enough. The best tea he had ever tasted was a small box given to him by his second uncle. It was said that the small box cost several thousand yuan, and he himself was reluctant to give it to anyone. He only brewed a small amount each time, and the small box was gone in half a month. He kept thinking about it, thinking about when his second uncle would come back from other places to ask him for some more. Before his second uncle came back, Lin Qingmei wanted to divorce him...

He originally thought that Lin Qingmei and her two daughters were just making a fuss, and once he got angry, they would have to obey him and everything would be back on track... But Cheng Antai's accusation last night really scared him. He knew that Cheng Antai's words must have been exaggerated, but the potholes on the wall outside the door, the dilapidated door, the lingering unpleasant smell in the yard, Cheng Xinlin's messy room and the bald head that Cheng Xinlin had to shave, and the big bag of broken bowls and plates outside the door, every one of them showed Cheng Xingmin how crazy the revenge of Lin Qingmei and the other two was!

Cheng Xingmin doesn't dare to offend those three people now. He doesn't believe that Cheng Lin will not do anything to him just because he is her father. He knows how hard he beat Cheng Lin. Although he thinks that "a good son is born under the stick", Cheng Lin doesn't think so. That girl probably hates him more than Cheng Antai! Lin Qingmei is determined to divorce him. It is probably Cheng Lin who instigated her... Not 80%, but it is certain! It must be Cheng Lin's doing! Lin Qingmei is not so cunning. Cheng Xinyuan will listen to Cheng Lin. Who else but her!

Cheng Xingmin got up early in the morning to drink tea, first to sober up, and second to calm his mind, but the more he drank the tea, the angrier he got. He was still angry, but he didn't have the courage to go find them... Well, it's not that he didn't have the courage, but a gentleman doesn't fight with a villain. Cheng Xingmin comforted himself like this, and decided to stay at Cheng Antai's house for a few days. Maybe after a few days, they will get over their anger...

I don't have time to care about what's going on in Cheng Xingmin's mind. I'm busy making chicken feet.

I didn't open the stall yesterday, and more than a dozen customers sent me WeChat messages to "complain". Look at how popular I am. Isn't it infuriating?

Today I bought 20 extra kilograms of chicken feet. 40 kilograms will definitely not be enough to sell. This means I have one more Yao Yuan~ The labor force will be wasted if it is not used!

Ms. Lin said to me early in the morning: "Lin Lin, what should I do? My right eyelid keeps twitching!"

I asked nervously, "Have you... checked Baidu?"

"Not yet! I'm telling you first, I feel at ease."

"No checking allowed!"

"it is good…"

"My left eyelid is still twitching," I looked at Ms. Lin slyly, "Do you believe me or yourself?"

Ms. Lin nodded: "I believe you!"

"Well, the left eyelid twitching means getting rich, and the right eyelid twitching means the orbicularis oculi muscle and oculofacial nerve controlled by the brain have periodic involuntary intermittent twitches." I said without stuttering.

Ms. Lin laughed and said, "Why does the left eyelid twitching mean getting rich, and the right eyelid twitching means superstition, right?"

"Well, you just didn't sleep well." I stirred the prepared seasoning. Cheng Xinyuan and the other three were also woken up by me early in the morning, and they were now picking chicken feet with a sad look on their faces.

"Mom, don't think too much. No matter how capable Cheng Xingmin is, he has a broken courage. Believe it or not, even if he has a knife in his hand, he wouldn't dare to come over and say a harsh word to the three of us." I naturally knew what Ms. Lin was worried about. I comforted her with a nonchalant look on my face and analyzed the situation for her. "He didn't come back yesterday. Guess where he went? The county town is so small. How many places can he go? I understand Cheng Antai's temper. If he doesn't fan the flames in front of Cheng Xingmin, he wouldn't be Cheng Antai! But I'm relieved. I also know my father's character. If the three of us are not good enough, he will do something to us. He will only be afraid after listening to Cheng Antai's exaggerated description. He is afraid of how we have become like this, and he is also afraid of what we will do to him."

Ms. Lin's frown slowly relaxed, and I continued, "He was so rampant before because he thought the three of us were easy to control, isn't it... You used to think about how to make this family better and complete, but he controlled you completely; Cheng Xinyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him. For him, it was enough for this family to have you and me. It didn't matter whether he was there or not. As for me, of course I also thought about resisting, but it was a pity that I had no ability or strength, and no one helped me. It was better to escape and be discouraged. I would not come back if I could. In my father's eyes, these were manifestations of being obedient and cowardly. He thought that as long as he yelled, he would still have the final say in this family..."

"As a result, when he was away, we did more and more serious things. What do you think he would think? He would think we were pretending and doing it on purpose. He might even call us inhuman. So why should we be afraid of him? Can't the three of us deal with him alone?"

"My sister is right," Cheng Xinyuan raised his head from a pile of chicken feet, "Mom, since you have decided to divorce, don't waver. Which of the things he did is not worthy of divorce?"

"I won't waver!" Ms. Lin stamped her feet and said with great force, "But I'm also thinking about one thing. Lin Lin is already an adult, but Yuan Yuan is not yet. If the case really goes to court and Yuan Yuan is awarded to Cheng Xingmin, what should I do? If it is really awarded to him, I would rather give up everything than to have the custody of Yuan Yuan!"

"Ouch..." Cheng Xinyuan and I held our foreheads at the same time...

"Mom, let's first talk about whether this will go to court. Even if it really comes to that, I'm not a fool, won't I refuse? Now that I've refused, is the judge stupid enough to continue doing the same thing?" Cheng Xinyuan was speechless.

"Let's not talk about the verdict or not..." My expression turned cold. "You just said, 'I would rather have custody of the child than anything else.' Do you think you are so great that you can give up everything for the child? Yes, the two of us are everything to you, but this family is also your hard work! You just say you don't want it, no wonder you were fooled by him!" I was a little angry. I knew she said this for the good of Cheng Xinyuan and me, but now that it has come to this, why is she still thinking that giving in can settle the matter?

"You don't want anything but the child. Fine. Without your family business, I wonder how you can support me and Cheng Xinyuan! Don't even think about starting over and making a comeback. You're just asking for trouble. There's no point in getting a divorce! My bastard father would love for you to be like this!"

Seeing that I was angry, Ms. Lin quickly explained: "Lin Lin, I didn't mean that, don't be angry, I'm just... a little worried..."

"What are you worried about!" I yelled, "Even if it is really awarded to him, so what! Do you think that a selfish man like your husband would be willing to raise a kid like Xinyuan?! If he was willing and had the intention, you two wouldn't have come to this point now! Besides, how can you be so sure that it will be awarded to him? Cheng Xinyuan doesn't have his own thoughts? The judge can ignore the opinions of an adult like me, but what about Cheng Xinyuan? How can someone who is so grown up stand there and no one ask what he thinks?! Since you are thinking about the matter that will be brought to court, under what circumstances will it be like that? It's because you can't resolve it peacefully and need someone to make a fair judgment. How stupid do you think the other party must be to know about our family situation and Cheng Xinyuan's thoughts and still insist on awarding Cheng Xinyuan to Cheng Xingmin?! It's already this time, and you are still thinking about useless things! Why are you always worried about things that haven't happened or will never happen! You always say that you are worried, what are you worried about!"

I threw the spoon in my hand heavily, and the sauce splashed on me. I didn't care, turned around and left the kitchen, ignoring the silent people...

I know that I had a bad attitude and got angry at Ms. Lin for no reason, but I don’t regret saying those words. I wanted to tell Ms. Lin these things a long time ago, but I was blinded by Ms. Lin’s “Avenger” attitude and forgot about it for a while... If I really have to regret something, it’s the attitude I used when I spoke to her. I obviously had a calm way of speaking...

I sat on the steps in front of the store and sighed softly. I really resemble that couple in many ways… I was provoked by that sentence, "I would rather have nothing but Yuanyuan." If I were a minor, would she say that?

I'm not sure...
