Chapter 9
It was obvious that his mother had mental health issues.
Wu Fan rushed to catch up with her and said, "Mom, Mom, come rest for a bit first. We'll go later. It's not even noon, it's not time to drink yet!"
"Oh, really? You seem to know a lot about drinking. Alright, let's go to your place so I can rest before we leave!" Meng Jiangmei replied with a smile.
Wu Fan first thought about having her enter, preparing a meal so they could all eat upon returning, then taking his mother to the hospital.
After settling his mother and giving her a cup of tea, he rushed to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
He knew that if he didn't finish in time for lunch, his wife and mother-in-law wouldn't be forgiving.
Click! Half an hour later, the front door opened. Lin Miao and Hu Xiaoying entered, chatting cheerfully.
"Oh, who is this?" The two women exclaimed upon seeing Meng Jiangmei.
"Hello, are you going to see the Jade Emperor too? Great, I won't be alone on the road to hell, haha!" Meng Jiangmei, happy to see visitors, spoke enthusiastically.
"Isn't this the mother of that good-for-nothing?" Hu Xiaoying, regaining her composure, looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression.
"A bit, but I didn't pay much attention that day. But if it's his mother, how did she get in here?" Lin Miao hid behind her mother, clearly alarmed.
She realized that this woman seemed unstable, and it could be dangerous for her to take responsibility.
"Good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, come here!" Hu Xiaoying yelled toward the kitchen.
"What? Mom, darling, you're back?" Wu Fan hurried out, wiping his hands on his apron, forcing a smile.
"Who is this crazy woman? Where did you find her? Have you forgotten the house rules? We don't let strangers in here!" Hu Xiaoying scolded him severely.
"Mom, she's not a stranger; she's my mother. I'm taking her to the hospital after the meal!"
"Really your mother?" Lin Miao was shocked. "Why does she look so crazy?"
"She seems to have mental health issues. I'm taking her to the hospital soon. Darling, could you lend me a few hundred yuan for that?" Wu Fan looked at Lin Miao with hope.
"How shameful! You're a parasite living off us, contributing nothing to our family, and now you're asking for money? Do you think money falls from the sky? No way I'm giving you any money. Now, get your mother out of here immediately, she's disgusting, she smells!" Hu Xiaoying lost her temper before Lin Miao could say anything.
"Mom, she's still my mother. Could you consider it a loan?" Wu Fan pleaded desperately.
"A loan? Do you have money to pay it back? You're a good-for-nothing, a poor excuse of a man; you should be grateful to live off our family. And you dare ask for money? Is the meal ready?" Hu Xiaoying didn't give him a break.
"One dish is still missing!"
"Then hurry up and finish it!" Hu Xiaoying shot him a stern look.
She then turned to Meng Jiangmei and said, "Get out of here right now. Don't dirty our house, leave!"
Lin Miao, playing along, opened the door and waved her hand to usher her out, smiling faintly, "Go back to where you came from. This is not a place for you.
Go under the bridge, where your organization is!"
