"Mom, what happened? Why are you crying?" Rong Shaoze asked with concern.
This was the first time he had ever seen his mother shed tears as long as he had been alive.
A twinge of distress tugged at his heart. Who had caused his mother such heartache?
Rong's mother sat on the bed, covering her face with a handkerchief as she suddenly broke into loud sobs.
Rong Shaoze's brow furrowed slightly as he approached and embraced her shoulders, asking softly, "Mom, what's really going on? Have you been wronged, or did you have a fight with Dad?"
Rong's mother suddenly lifted her head, her expression a mix of anger and sorrow.
"Don't mention your father... sob... that heartless man, I've been blind my whole life to have married him... sob... Shaoze, what am I to do, how could he do this to me, sob... How can he do this to me..."
Rong Shaoze discerned a hint of the problem and, furrowing his brow, ventured a guess, "Mom, does Dad have another woman outside?"
