"What did you do to tick me off, told you not to go out messing around when you have nothing to do, better to make a good impression in front of your dad. Now look what happened, good things won't come your way. I guess we'll just wait to be kicked out of the house, while those two live the high life."
"Mom, what do you mean?" Mei Zhequan heard the hidden meanings in his mother's words and asked with confusion.
"What do I mean, when I told you to go with that brat earlier, why didn't you? Now look, your grandfather thinks of him for everything good, and you don't know how to fight for it. What am I going to do in the future?" The woman looked utterly dejected as she lay on the bed crying softly, careful to keep her voice down so that people outside, especially the old man, couldn't hear.
Mei Zhequan frowned in impatience, "Mom, either speak plainly or forget it, I'm leaving, got other things to do."
