Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 291 - 264: Fulfilling My Duty as a Husband
The moment she uttered profanity, Mu Yunchu’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
"Watch your language."
Ordinarily, the old lady would have retorted without hesitation.
What does she need to watch her language for?
But today, just as she was about to speak, taking one look into Mu Yunchu’s eyes, she suddenly found herself speechless.
The profanity stuck in her throat, unable to come out or go back, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Zheng Zheng glanced at his own mother, then turned to look at Mu Yunchu, resolutely choosing to believe the latter.
[He has no doubt at all??? He just trusts the host like that.]
[Ordinary people in this situation would choose to believe their own mother, right? After all, she’s the one who gave birth to you.]
[I bet there are many things we don’t know about here...]
...
Seeing her son not believing her and attempting to leave, the old lady panicked, gripping his arm tightly and using all her strength to pull him back, almost wanting to sit on the ground to stop him from leaving.
As she tried to stop him, she cried and yelled, calling him ungrateful.
"I raised you for nothing!"
"You’d rather trust these women outside than me!"
"What’s the point of living like this? I might as well not live!"
...
But these tactics of crying, making a scene, and threatening no longer worked on Zheng Zheng. He ran out the door, hailed a ’bongbong’, and, taking his wife, rushed to his mother’s current residence.
As the car drew nearer, the rhythm of Zheng Zheng’s heartbeat quickened with intensity. As he could see the flat house, the pounding became deafening.
Behind him was his mother in another ’bongbong’, catching up and still trying to stop him.
Zheng Zheng walked quickly, pushed open the door, and glanced around the empty room. Not seeing his daughter’s figure out in the open, he quickly fixed his gaze on a large cabinet in the corner.
Having grown up there, he had a strong impression of that cabinet.
Back then, he always liked to hide inside and pretend no one was home.
The size of that cabinet... was definitely big enough to fit a child.
With that in mind, he approached it, grabbed the cabinet doors with both hands, and pulled with force.
Inside was a child in a dress, holding her fingers, blinking at him.
It was his own missing child!
Simultaneously, the old lady caught up from behind and upon seeing Zheng Zheng take the child out of the cabinet, realized that everything was now over.
[Oh my! It was actually his mother who took her own granddaughter away!]
[But I can’t understand, why would she do that? Was she missing the child too much?]
[If she missed the child, she could have told the couple directly, at least not leaving them anxious and worried.]
[Right, it doesn’t seem like she missed the child at all. Locking a four-year-old in a cabinet—what if something happened?]
...
Zheng Zheng was equally baffled.
"Mom! Why did you do this?"
"Do you know Xiao Wen and I searched for the child all night without rest?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Upon hearing her son had stayed up all night, the old lady raised her eyes with heartache, but at the next sentence, she snapped her mouth shut in anger.
"Moreover, Xiao Wen feels incredibly guilty about this."
The old lady turned her head, snorted coldly, "She should feel guilty. Even if I took the child, isn’t it because she wasn’t watching her own child?"
Zheng Zheng was at a loss for words.
His mother could be so unreasonable that there was simply no talking sense into her.
Even the viewers online were utterly speechless towards the old lady, believing she was beyond help.
Mu Yunchu composed herself: "Your mother deliberately took the child, then blamed your wife for negligence, with the ultimate goal of getting you to divorce."
Zheng Zheng: !!!
"Mom!!??" Zheng Zheng’s voice instantly heightened.
Because of past experiences, he had no doubt about the truthfulness of Mu Yunchu’s words this time.
"I just don’t understand, ever since we got married, you’ve always disliked Xiao Wen. What’s so wrong with her that you hate her this much?"
[!!!]
[I get it now, this isn’t the first time the old lady tried to get them to divorce. She probably said similar things before, but they didn’t work. This time, she thought of setting up her daughter-in-law for losing the child.]
[So malicious, using such a method! That’s her own granddaughter, locked in a cabinet like that.]
[Seriously, I just don’t get it. How does it benefit her if the son divorces?]
...
Knowing her actions were fully exposed, the old lady had no intention of hiding anymore. Instead, she went into full ’unapologetic mode’.
"Ever since that woman came, I’ve been ranked second in your life!"
"No matter what work I ask her to do, you feel sorry for her. But when your mom is working, where are you then?"
"That’s not all. Since you got married, Mom hardly sees you anymore."
Zheng Zheng said, "Didn’t I say I would take you to the town to live in a big house?"
It was his mother who refused to go.
And now this happened.
After he explained, his mother’s reaction was even stronger, "I won’t go! Watching you fuss over another woman every day makes me feel like I’m the one who’s extra!"
[...Such a pathological thought. She’s jealous of her own daughter-in-law!]
[Honestly, I feel so sorry for the host’s wife, having such a mother-in-law, truly unlucky.]
[See, ladies, before getting married, don’t just look at what your husband is like, also look at your husband’s mother. Find out after getting married that she’s like this, and it’s too late for anything. At best, it’s constant arguing and manipulating the couple’s relationship, at worst, it’s directly kidnapping the child you worked hard to give birth to.]
...
The old lady continued speaking, but Zheng Zheng, face sullen, remained silent for a long time.
As everyone wondered if he was going to compromise with his own mother, even going so far as to abandon his wife and child over this.
He endured and said, "Mom, it’s true you raised me to adulthood."
"Correspondingly, I will also take care of you in your old age."
[Oh no, it seems like the host has ’given in’.]
However, in the next second, Zheng Zheng’s tone shifted, "But from now on, I won’t see you again."
Old lady: !
"What did you say?"
"I will give you money every month, and hire someone to occasionally take care of you. If you have any ailments, I’ll find someone to take you to the hospital."
"But I won’t see you again."
"I can’t let my family be destroyed by you, and I must uphold my responsibilities as a husband."
...
[Wow, bro! You’re a real man!]
[It’s the first time seeing someone severing ties with their mother, but I have no desire to blame him.]
