Mrs. Su stared at her own child's eyes, after all, she was the one giving birth to the child, and she could not hide anything from him.
Su Qiaoxiu's original intention was not simply to deliver embroidery. Now that her mother asked her this and stared at her closely, although she tried her best to calm herself, her eyes couldn't help flickering.
Mrs. Su saw this, and the relief in her eyes disappeared, and disappointment flashed across her eyes, and her tolerance immediately disappeared. It turns out that this child is not just giving away embroidery.
"No, your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have the embroidery, you don't have to worry about it," Mrs. Su refused decisively.
"Mom, I really know I was wrong and I will never run around again. Please believe me this time. I promise that I will embroider well and earn money when I come back." Su Qiaoxiu gently pulled her mother's clothes and pleaded. After all, she was still a lack of trust in her, and dissatisfaction rose again in Su Qiaoxiu's eyes.
"Do you really know you're wrong? You really won't run around again?" Mrs. Su looked at her daughter sharply, and Su Qiaoxiu's eyes became even more evasive.
"Mom, just because of this one time, do you not trust your daughter anymore?" Su Qiaoxiu was willful to begin with, and after being questioned by her mother and feeling guilty, she couldn't help herself.
"Mother, why don't you think about it? Who did I start from? Didn't I want my family to live a better life? I rushed to the place in my dream with trepidation. I was also scared. After I came back, you never asked me what happened along the way, whether I encountered any danger? You don't worry about me at all, you don't love me, you only care about fame and money, are you still my mother?"
Mrs. Su looked at her daughter in disbelief as she was yelling with dissatisfaction on her face. This was the child she had loved so much since she was a child. How could she raise her to be so selfish? She had obviously taught her very carefully! At this moment, Mrs. Su felt like a failure.
"Su Qiaoxiu!" Mrs. Su shouted her daughter's name and looked at her with disappointment.
"That's how you see me. Are all the kindness I've shown you fake? Look at the entire Xiaohe Village, and even the surrounding villages. Is there anyone like you who has never contributed a bit of effort since you were a child? Even during the busiest farming season, you stayed at home and never went to the fields. How can I care about you? How can I love you?"
"It's because I love you and care about you too much that I let you do... such a selfish thing. Isn't it right to be punished for doing something wrong?" After all, she was her beloved daughter. Mrs. Su glanced at the open door, but still did not tell her daughter about taking the money secretly.
"If I don't care about you, am I still your mother? Su Qiaoxiu, how can you say such a thing? If I don't care about you, how could I get seriously ill? Have you ever brought me medicine once in these days since you came back? Have you ever come to see your mother once? Have you ever taken the initiative to make up for it? You didn't. You only thought of your mother when something happened. Su Qiaoxiu, you really let your mother down."
"You are sick because you are worried about money. You don't care about me at all. You only have my brothers in your heart. You care about me just to make me embroider things and earn money." Su Qiaoxiu became willful and selfish and refused to listen to anything. Even though she felt guilty, she still yelled at her mother.
"Su Qiaoxiu, don't you feel guilty for saying this? I feel sorry for you just because I want you to earn money. Now let me ask you if I have ever asked you for a single cent of the money you have earned over the years." Mrs. Su looked at her daughter in disbelief, and suddenly stood up. She couldn't help shaking, and her eyes were red. She had no idea that she was like this in her daughter's eyes.
"I..." Su Qiaoxiu avoided her mother's gaze guiltily. When she came to her senses, she realized that what she had just said was inappropriate.
"Su Qiaoxiu shouldn't ask me if I'm still your mother. You should ask yourself if you're still our daughter. Have you ever thought about us being your parents before doing anything?"
Mrs. Su was so angry that she uttered words one by one. She looked at her daughter with extreme disappointment. She felt dizzy and fell down on the wooden bench.
Su Qiaoxiu subconsciously went to support her mother and regretted what she had just said. She was so angry that she said something without thinking.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? I'm sorry, it's my fault. You know I don't think before I speak and I'm willful. Mom, please don't be angry with me."
"Mother..."
Now she heard her daughter's voice admitting her mistakes. After sitting down and relaxing for a while, Mrs. Su finally felt better.
Looking at her daughter who had admitted her mistake, she really didn't want to care about her anymore. But after all, she had been raised in the palm of her hand for more than ten years, so how could she just ignore her?
Mrs.Su Qin took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then she spoke:
"Xiu'er, admitting your mistakes doesn't mean you know you are wrong. You have to understand that not everyone can tolerate you. I can forgive you for your rude words to me today, but what about others tomorrow?"
Su Qiaoxiu didn't really understand nothing, and she understood what her mother meant. This suddenly reminded her of the two taels of silver she had paid as compensation in the woods that day, and a flash of resentment flashed across her eyes. Others really won't tolerate her.
So it's because she's not strong enough. If she were strong enough, others would only be terrified and beg for mercy when they see her. This also strengthened her desire to go out. She always had a feeling that this might be her only chance to verify her dream. She also realized that her attitude towards her mother was wrong, and the more she acted like this, the less likely her mother would let her go.
"Mom, I was wrong. I just stayed at home for too long. I really didn't mean to contradict you."
Mrs. Su waved her hand and said, "Okay, I believe you. Go out now. Mother needs to rest for a while."
"Mom, what about this daughter going out?" Su Qiaoxiu looked at Mrs. Su without giving up.
Mrs. Su looked at her daughter and said, "You really want to go out?"
Thinking that her mother had loosened up, Su Qiaoxiu nodded nervously.
"Well, tell me the truth. Why did you go out this time? Don't make up any other excuses to fool me. You are my daughter and you can't lie to me." Mrs. Su was ready to give this child another chance.
"I..."
"Still not telling the truth?"
"Mom, it's not that I don't tell the truth, it's that you don't believe me when I tell it."
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Su understood a little, "Is it because of your dream?"
Su Qiaoxiu nodded. The determination in her mother's eyes told her that if she didn't tell the truth, she might not have a chance to get out at all. She was ready to give it a try.
"Yes, not only in the past, but also in the past few days, I have been dreaming non-stop."
"What did you dream about?" It's not that she didn't want to believe the child, it's just that something as vague as a dream is hard to believe.
"These days I have been dreaming that a serious epidemic will occur in Jiaocheng."
"Epidemic? What epidemic? Where did it happen?" Mrs. Su looked at her daughter in surprise.
"I don't know. The dream was very vague. I'm not sure what the epidemic was, but I believe it must be true. This is God's warning to me through the dream. Mother... I can't just sit back and watch such a serious matter."
"So, this is the reason why you have to go out." Mrs. Su looked at her daughter deeply.
"Yes, although I don't know where the source of the epidemic is, but I vaguely remember that the outbreak will take place in a few days. Mother, now that I know about it, I can't pretend that I don't know. If it is really as shown in the dream, we may also be implicated." Su Qiaoxiu became a little excited when she said this, as if she was really afraid that her family would be implicated.
"Then what do you want to do? Do you want to pass the news to the government while you are out delivering the embroidery?" Mrs. Su looked at her daughter and sighed helplessly in her heart. It is said that children from poor families grow up early. Isn't this child a little too naive?
