Chapter 894 Do I Have the Qualifications to Treat (3)
"I want to say that as a son, I have not disgraced heaven and earth, and as an older and younger brother, my wife and I together have helped you raise children. However, you seem unclear that the reason I do these things is not because I am afraid of you, but because I hope that one day you will accept the three of us as a family and treat us better. But today, I suddenly realized, some ingrates can never be appeased! I’m telling you, you can bully me, you can insult me, you can squander my hard-earned money! But, I will not allow you to insult my wife and child! My wife is virtuous and capable, ever since she married me she hasn’t had a single good day, and she has even fallen ill because of you! My son, to avoid making me uncomfortable, started working at a tender age and even delayed his graduation exams by a year! If it weren’t for you, how could I possibly not have money to buy my son milk powder, and how could he possibly become overweight due to malnutrition?!"
Father Xia grew angrier and more agitated as he spoke. Over the years, he had not been without grievances, but the affection formed over many years made it hard for him to decisively cut ties. Father Xia always hoped that someday, everything he did could earn his mother’s and siblings’ understanding and respect.
However, just now, he overheard his own mother insulting his wife on the second floor, even wishing to falsely assign him a cuckold’s horns, and even insulting his son Xia Hao by calling him a little mongrel, a little beast!
He did not know whether Old Lady Xia had used these words to insult his wife and child behind his back before, but today, he had finally seen through it!
Last night, Xia Hao had talked all night with him and his wife as an adult, expressing his thoughts and feelings for the first time in twenty years. As a father, Xia Laoer was incredibly heartbroken, their already thinning familial affection shaken even further by Xia Hao’s disclosure and his wife’s sobbing.
Today, the cord named "kinship" within Xia Laoer finally snapped completely!
