Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

My second uncle Lin Rusheng was still squatting on the ground, his eyes no longer had the fierceness that he had when he first came to our house. Over the years, few people mentioned my mother in front of him because they all felt that he was unworthy. Gradually, he also numb himself and completely forgot who he was.

Today, his sister and niece's attitude made him realize that no one would help him in the future. What should he do? His niece mentioned her mother's death in front of him, and the painful memories that he didn't want to recall came up and filled his mind...

He staggered to his feet and walked away unsteadily...

I looked at Ms. Lin, who was clenching her hands tightly, with worry evident in her eyes.

"Mom...my second uncle just left like that, I hope nothing will happen?" I asked what Ms. Lin was thinking.

Ms. Lin seemed to have made up her mind and clenched her fists again, "Don't worry about him! If I chase him now, all our words will be in vain! I just want him to know that he is alone and helpless now, and the only way is to save himself!"

"What if he gets upset..."

"No! If he wanted to die, he would have died long ago! Why would he wait until today!" Ms. Lin said firmly.

"You were there at that time..." I was telling the truth, "If your disregard for me and my harsh words were the last straw that broke the camel's back, then..."

"Lin Lin, don't worry. Although your second uncle has become like this, I know his nature. He will not have any thoughts of committing suicide because of my attitude." Ms. Lin remained firm.

"Did I say something too harsh?" I asked worriedly. "I am a junior after all, and my second uncle was really good to me... I scolded him like that..."

Ms. Lin suddenly laughed: "Lin Lin also gets scared sometimes?"

"Of course..." I pouted and said, "If it was someone from the Cheng family, I would have scolded him, and even beating him would have been the least of my responsibilities. It's not that my second uncle is different. I know your relationship, and he wasn't like this at the beginning. My eldest uncle seemed to have broken with him over the years, but I know that a lot of the money you gave to my second uncle was given by my eldest uncle, and the buns and steamed buns you gave to my second aunt were all made by my eldest and second aunts. Even my youngest aunt and third uncle secretly gave money to my cousins... After all... you couldn't bear it..."

Ms. Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "My Lin Lin is really insightful and can see these things clearly. Yes~ After all, I can't bear it, blood is thicker than water... Lin Lin, we have many brothers and sisters, you are young and don't understand the relationship between us, but he is my biological brother, even if I am angry, I want to save him more... But I also know that I can't save him without any bottom line like before, I have to let him wake up on his own. To be honest, I have blamed your second uncle for so many years. After all, your grandmother's death is inseparable from him, and it is impossible not to blame him, but your grandmother held my hand tightly before she died, and kept drawing 'two' on my palm. I know that the only thing she was worried about was your second uncle. I still can't forget her pleading eyes! No matter how much I blame your second uncle, how can I really ignore him... That was your grandmother's last wish!"

These words cleared up my doubts. I had only heard my aunt and uncle tell me that grandma died with her eyes open and Ms. Lin regretted her decision, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Lin Lin, I really didn't expect you to mention your grandma in front of him. Your words were not harsh at all but full of meaning! I looked at him squatting on the ground. At that moment, I felt that he regretted it and that he could still be saved! Over the years, your uncle and I have thought about how to win him back more than once, but no one has ever mentioned grandma in front of him. Perhaps deep down in our hearts, we have a preconceived notion that he was the one who killed your grandma and that he doesn't deserve to be in the same conversation with your grandma. We have never thought that he would regret anything about your grandma... Saving him is one thing, and forgiving him is another. We don't feel any conflict."

"But today, I saw another side of my second brother. Maybe, he is not as bad as I thought. He used to be such a good second brother to me. Maybe, he can really be saved... Lin Lin, if your second uncle can repent, you..."

"Save him!" I nodded. "If he can be rescued, he will still be my good second uncle. You and my uncle and aunt have worked so hard for so long, don't you want to see such a result? If a person really repents sincerely, then I believe no one will not forgive him." In my mind, the scene of my second uncle secretly coming to visit Cheng Xinyuan with fruits appeared in my previous life. Even if he had other purposes at that time, I was willing to believe that he had a sincere heart for Cheng Xinyuan.

Although I still don't understand why he disappeared without a trace and abandoned his family, and I despise his behavior, could there be any other reasons?

"Besides, I believe in grandma and grandpa. Even if their children were deceived, it was only temporary. They are different from some people, who are rotten from the root..." I said with a hint of meaning. Ms. Lin smiled and tapped my forehead, "How can they be compared with us!"

"Mom..." I thought about Ms. Lin's memories of grandma just now, "Do you really think grandma just can't let go of my second uncle? She doesn't have any other intentions? Obviously, my aunt and uncle are here, why did she only hold your hand? She knows her own children and believes in the responsibility of her eldest daughter and eldest son. Why is she so sure that only you can help my second uncle? She...just trusts you?"

Ms. Lin paused, obviously she had never thought about it in this way.

"You and Cheng Xingmin's marriage has a perfect protective cover on the outside, which is for outsiders to see. Outsiders can't see the cracks between you, but my uncle can see it, my aunt can see it, and even Lin Ying knows that her uncle is a double-faced person. How can you be so sure that your mother can't see your situation at all? How can you be sure that she doesn't worry about you? Doesn't feel sorry for me, her granddaughter? I only remember that during the short time that grandma lived in our house, she asked me more than once if I was in pain. How could she not know what kind of person her third son-in-law is? She just saw her daughter immersed in it and didn't know how to persuade her..."

"She only lived in our house for more than ten days. Do you think she really didn't want to cause trouble for you, or she just couldn't bear to stay any longer? Cheng Xingmin pretended to be nice on the surface, but he really didn't show any displeasure to grandma? Do you believe it now? She felt sorry for you, but she had no way to help you, because she understood you and knew that it was useless to persuade you. Instead of being sad, it's better to escape..."

"Grandma was just an ordinary mother, an old woman with no power at all. If grandpa was still alive, I believe she would protect her daughter even at the risk of her life. But she didn't, she didn't have the ability. Even though she had seven filial children, how could such a considerate old woman not know that every family has its own difficulties? She could do nothing but feel distressed. Now I can understand why grandma wanted to go to a nursing home, and I think you do too. She didn't even want to embarrass her daughter-in-law. Yes, the person who worried people the most at that time was my second uncle, and grandma's death was also closely related to him, but you were the one grandma cared about from the beginning... She held you tightly, not only entrusting you, but also reluctant to let you go..."

I spoke with sincerity, my voice choked, and my eyes were red. Ms. Lin also burst into tears. She had never thought about it from this perspective. She had thought about ignoring her second brother many times, but when she thought of her mother's last words, she cheered up and continued to deal with it...

"Lin Lin..." Ms. Lin rushed up to hug me, crying like a baby, "Thank you... Thank you... I only thought about her last wishes, but never thought about myself. In fact, I have resented it for so many years. My mother didn't mention me before she died, and only thought about her second son. I also thought about why she entrusted him to me. He obviously has brothers and sisters. Is it just because he saved my life? If this is really the case, I would rather give my life back to him! For so many years, I have been facing him with love and hate, and I feel so entangled... But I don’t have any way, I can only do this... No matter if he is not doing it for my own heart, no matter if he is not doing it for my mother, how can I have my own heart, I can only take care of him..."

Ms. Lin seemed to have unloaded a burden from her past life to this life. This burden was buried in her endless guilt towards me and Cheng Xinyuan. Being a child was a responsibility, and her mother's last wishes were also a responsibility. She couldn't let go of either.

Now that I have taken it off, it doesn’t mean I will ignore it, it just means I will go into battle with a light load.

Ms. Lin wiped away her tears and said, "Lin Lin, don't worry about your second uncle. He will make a comeback. Believe me! He will understand the painstaking efforts of all of us!"

Of course I won't care about him. My goal from the beginning was to prevent him from getting involved with us! As for the "comeback" mentioned by Ms. Lin, she seemed to know what my second uncle would be like in the future. Was it something that happened after I died in the previous life?

I'm really becoming more and more curious about what happens after I die.
