Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 18

Wang Guixiang walked quickly for a while, and seeing that Zhao Tiesheng hadn't caught up, she turned around and asked, "Second brother, what are you thinking about? Let's go home."

Zhao Tiesheng said "Oh," before snapping out of his daze. He had originally intended to say, "Mom, I'm sorry you had to go through that."

But the words just wouldn't come out. Zhao Tiesheng also felt he couldn't say it; if he did, his mother, Wang Guixiang, would be extremely embarrassed.

Wang Guixiang is a person who cares a lot about her reputation. She must be in a bad mood to have her own granddaughter sent her in and out of prison.

"Mom, it's getting late. Why don't you stay at my sister's house tonight?"

Wang Guixiang agreed. There were no more shuttle buses home at this hour, and taking a taxi would be too expensive. So she decided to stay at Zhao Chunqin's house for the night and go home the next morning.

However, this was Wang Guixiang's first time in the county town, and she didn't know where her daughter Zhao Chunqin's home was. After all, Wang Guixiang was a traditional woman who didn't go out often, so she asked, "Have you found your sister's house?"

When Wang Guixiang asked this question, Zhao Tiesheng was also stunned.

The problem is that Zhao Tiesheng doesn't even know where his own sister's home is.

This left both of them feeling awkward.

"Mom, you've been to the city several times, don't you know where my sister lives?"

Wang Guixiang said angrily, "During the few times I went to the city, your sister did take me out to eat and go shopping, but she never invited me to her house or let me stay overnight, so I really don't know where she lives. Second brother, you should have come to your sister's wedding, how come you don't remember?"

Zhao Tiesheng sighed and said, "My sister got married in the countryside. Back then, my brother-in-law's parents were still in the countryside, so when they got married, they first brought my sister to their hometown. I went there, but I wasn't allowed to accompany the newlyweds. I was responsible for collecting the betrothal gifts and stuff, which was arranged at the restaurant. So, I didn't go."

Silence, long silence.

The two were so embarrassed they almost dug a hole in the ground. Finally, Zhao Tiesheng had to say, "How about we spend the night at the hospital?"

Wang Guixiang retorted, "I'm not sick, why would I need to stay in the hospital?"

"My wife is still in the hospital, and there are still empty beds in the wards..."

"What? Your spendthrift wife is still in the hospital?" Wang Guixiang suddenly raised her voice: "How many days has it been? Still not discharged? Is she addicted to being in the hospital?"

"How much money will this cost? Does money grow on trees? Besides, she gave birth to a girl, how dare she stay in the hospital? It must have been that little bastard Zhao Da'e's idea. What kind of family do we have? Giving birth and staying in the hospital for four or five days? In our village, your wife is the first person to give birth, and it's a girl. Everyone else gives birth at home, and I bet they're all raising sons. Coming to the hospital to give birth is one thing, but not leaving? Just wait and see..."

“Mom, Mom… this decision about going to the hospital to give birth was yours,” Zhao Tiesheng reminded her.

"What did I decide? What decision did I make? I even decided not to have Er Ya anymore, did you listen to me? If you don't listen, fine, we can just say we won't give her away. If you want to cut off the family line, fine, but you went and had Cheng Jinxiang give you ideas for the child, had Zhao Da'e cause trouble, and then sent me to jail. What a mess you've made!"

Zhao Tiesheng: "..."

"Mom, no one told the goose to do that; it was an accident that day. And I suspect the goose also..."

"Don't mention that little bastard. I feel disgusted just hearing her name," Wang Guixiang said angrily.
