Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 788 - 098 Getting beaten up, offering incense_5

Lin Jiaxin pressed his lips tightly together. His mother had always been proud, never saying sorry to anyone her entire life, yet today, he actually heard her apologize.

"Mother, don’t talk like that. It’s, it’s me who has let you down. The old village chief advised me to come and see you, but, but I thought that elder brother and the others would definitely take good care of you, and I, I did not come. Mother, if I, if I had come earlier, you and father wouldn’t have..." Lin Jiaxin couldn’t go on. What use was there in saying these things now? The dead cannot be brought back to life; everything was too late.

Hearing her son’s painful self-blame, Lady Yang’s tears fell like rain. She turned around and gripped her son’s hand tightly, saying repeatedly, "Son, it’s not your fault, it’s mother, mother who was blind and heartless, insisting on driving you away and deliberately making things difficult for your wife and daughter. Mother has let you down, I’ve wronged you all!"

Lady Yang was extremely emotional. If it weren’t for Lin Jiaxin’s support, she would probably have collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.

From some point on, Lady Yang had begun to regret. She regretted not seeing the true colors of her eldest and youngest sons, regretted not cherishing the sincerity of her second son, and even more so regretted being blinded by lard to the extent of forcing her second son to divorce and remarry, and driving them out.

Ever since Lin Jianling became paralyzed, she would lie in bed every day and talk incessantly to her husband about the goodness of their second son and her own mistakes. As she rambled on, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. She had thought about asking her second son for help, but she had no face to do so. She was ashamed to go; when her son was in need, she hadn’t been a good mother. Now that her son was doing well, she would be faced if she turned up begging; surely her son’s family would curse her!

But, unexpectedly, today, her son and daughter-in-law actually came in person and even called her mother. Could it be he didn’t resent her anymore?

"Son, it’s all mother’s fault. You can hit or scold me, I have wronged you all. If mother had helped you back then, you wouldn’t have to lie in bed for over half a year! And your wife, mother even forced you to divorce her. Mother was really blind. Such a good wife, and mother still foolishly wanted something else. And, and your daughter, the one mother truly owes an apology is her. When your elder sister-in-law spread rumors that she was a ’Little Disaster Star,’ I knew it, but not only did I not stop them, I even helped them, never showing a nice face to your daughter. I harmed her and almost let her be drowned in a pig cage!"

Lady Yang, with snot and tears, decried her past actions, feeling increasingly that her sins were grave, and that she owed her son’s family a tremendous debt. In the end, Lady Yang’s knees buckled, and she was about to kneel on the ground.

Lin Jiaxin quickly caught her, shaking his head while sobbing, "Mother, it’s all in the past, all gone. Let’s not mention the things of the past, nobody mention them. Mother, come with me, I’m living a good life now, I have the ability to take care of you. I’ll provide for you in your old age. Mother, come with me!"

Lady Yang stared at her son with incredulous eyes. Once upon a time, she too had fantasized that if they had not separated, if they had not severed ties, they might have basked in the success of their second son and enjoyed some comfort. But all that was just fantasy. She had never imagined that such a day would actually come.

Yet, she couldn’t go. Lady Yang knew well the depth of her sins; not only had she wronged her son but also her daughter-in-law and her granddaughters. She didn’t deserve to live with them in such a nice house; she just didn’t deserve it.

"Son, I know you are filial, but mother can’t go with you." Knowing that if she spoke of not deserving, her son would surely disagree, she changed her words, "This house is the one your father got when he married me, mother can’t leave it, I can’t bear to. I want to grow old here, I won’t go anywhere else."

With that said, Lin Jiaxin, though wanting to persuade her more, truly did not know what else to say. After pondering, he took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Lady Yang’s hand, "Mother, keep this silver. Buy whatever you want to eat, don’t mistreat yourself."

Lady Yang looked at the silver and continuously shook her hands, refusing to accept it no matter what. The two went back and forth for a while until Lin Jiaxin forcefully stuffed the silver into Lady Yang’s sleeve. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Just as Lady Yang was about to take it out again, Lin Yuan’s voice suddenly rang out from behind, her tone cold and mocking, "Oh my, seeing that my father has money now, you cozy up again? Let me tell you, don’t think that my father coming over to offer incense to the old man means he has forgiven you. Hoping my father will give you silver? No way!"
