Chapter 265 Mother and Son Break Off Ties, Forced Execution

Xiao Xueyi opened several wardrobes, only to find that most of Shi Tou's clothes were patched or too small to fit properly, which deepened his resentment towards himself.

"Mom, I came back today just to get some clothes for the child. I don't have time to explain so much to you. You've lived half your life and done a lot of foolish things, but you are my mother. I don't blame you for things that affect me. It's just that Shitou is just a child."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I can't make the same mistake again. I know it's not easy for you. After you go back to the countryside, I will send you a fixed amount of money every month to make sure you can live well there. In addition, I will take ten days off every year to go home and be by your side to take care of you. That's all I can give you."

Yang Suxian quickly walked around to him and grabbed his sleeve with one hand: "You unfilial son, do you know what you're saying? I promise you, I will take good care of Shitou from now on, okay? If I go back, who will take care of the child who was just discharged from the hospital? He is my own grandson. I just complained a few times. Do you think I would really harm him?"

Looking at Yang Suxian's face, Xiao Xueyi felt even more complicated emotions.

He originally thought he would have a happy family, but he never expected it to end like this.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? You may not have done it yourself, but Shitou is still your grandson, my only son. Before, he and his widow had to take care of your daily life and worry about whether I would get hurt on the front line. Mom, I am the son you gave birth to. No one owes you anything except me."

Xiao Xueyi closed his eyes, unwilling to explain any further to her.

"In short, you don't need to worry about taking care of the child. I already have a suitable person here. Your train ticket is for 12 noon tomorrow. Before you leave, I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant. If you need anything at home in the future, just call my workplace. You don't need to bother anyone else except me."

Actually, he should have said these things clearly a long time ago, but he always felt that since they were family, it wouldn't hurt their harmony.

At this point, there's no point in worrying about saving face anymore. Even for the sake of his child, he has to stand up for himself. Even if the person on the other end is his mother, he absolutely cannot compromise.

“Son, you are the child I carried for ten months. I was pregnant when I gave birth to you. You are my only child. Many people in the village say that I am just a hen that lays one egg, but I have never cared. I raised you. Now you have such a good job and you have children. You don’t want your children to treat you like this in the future, do you?”

Xiao Xueyi looked at her coldly: "But when I get older, I won't do something like what you did. I believe Shi Tou will have his own reasons. My dad used to say that you were cold-blooded and selfish, but I thought he was just saying that in anger."

He paused, looking at the unreasonable woman in front of him with disappointment: "When Wang Shu was still alive, she always took care of the family. She never wronged you in anything she did, but you ordered her around, bullied her, and never treated her as a daughter-in-law. Instead, you treated her like an old maid. Even so, she never complained about you. I heard all this at my fifth aunt's house after she passed away."

Whenever he thought about these things, Xiao Xueyi felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Ren Wangshu never enjoyed a single day of happiness or a good life with him. Just when her little family was getting better and better, she fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving behind only a small stone.

“Wang Shu has been gone for so many years now, but you still have to slander her in front of the child. Mom, I have never said these things to you before. I just wanted to maintain the dignity between us. But since you don’t want this dignity, then let’s just tear off the mask.”

He couldn't completely sever his mother-son relationship with Yang Suxian, especially since he could never repay her for giving birth to him and raising him. The only thing he could do was to let her return to the village and never let her go near the stone again.

When she passes away, he will naturally return to take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days; this will be the last bit of affection between them.

Yang Suxian immediately sat on the ground, kicking her legs and crying out frantically.

"You, you ungrateful wretch who forgets his mother after marrying a wife! Have you forgotten how I raised you with such hardship all by myself? Now, for the sake of a little brat who hasn't even reached adulthood, you want to sever ties with me! Heavens! Why is my life so miserable? You might as well just take me with you!"

Xiao Xueyi's chest heaved violently; he knew all too well what kind of person his mother was.

Hearing the incessant noise from inside the house, Xiao Xueyi clenched his fists tightly—

"Enough!"

The crying stopped abruptly. Yang Suxian's face was still wet with tears. She glanced cautiously at Xiao Xueyi's expression out of the corner of her eye, and lowered her voice a little guiltily.

“Son, everything can be discussed, and I don’t mean to make things difficult for you. But the houses in our village have been built for so many years. These past two years, the rain has been so heavy every summer that it’s impossible to stop it. The houses might collapse next year. I’m an old man with so few bones. Every day I live is one day less. Can’t you do me a favor?”

Her humble voice carried a hint of pleading.

Xiao Xueyi didn't waste any more words with her. He simply opened the wardrobe door with one hand and began to rummage through Yang Suxian's clothes.

"You should think about what you want to bring in advance. I haven't been that thoughtful. If you leave anything here, I'll have to get rid of it."

He stuffed all the things related to Yang Suxian into the nylon bag next to him in one go, his movements clean and efficient, as if he had made up his mind.

Yang Suxian wiped away her tears, her voice hardening: "Fine, you little bastard, you're so stubborn, you're determined to make me go back, aren't you?"

Xiao Xueyi nodded, meeting her gaze without fear, his expression showing no remorse whatsoever.

“If you don’t leave tomorrow, I’ll have to apply to the organization for enforcement. They’ll have you forcibly taken away. But with so many people watching, there’s bound to be gossip. I’m a grown man, so I don’t care. I just don’t know if you’ll care if these rumors get around the village.”
