Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Cheng Xinhua and Cheng Xinhui sat on my bed, one on each side, with pleading and expectant looks in their eyes.

Cheng Xinhui had obviously just smoked, and the pungent and unpleasant smell of cigarettes mixed with the odor of sweat made me subconsciously frown and cover my mouth and nose. Cheng Xinhui saw my disgust and sat back twice, sitting at the end of the bed.

Cheng Xinyuan also waved his hand: "You said you were here to see our sister, but you smoked so much. What if you disturbed our sister's rest? You don't know how to protect this little sister! Get out now! Come back in after the smell is gone."

Cheng Xinhui walked out reluctantly, while Cheng Xinhua did not forget to scold the woman sitting on the other bed: "Sister-in-law, you don't even bother to talk to my second brother. The two children don't know any rules. There are three men in the family and none of them can take care of them! They are embarrassing themselves everywhere!"

Even my brother-in-law who was standing by the window was not spared: "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go out and watch our brother! If he smokes again, I'll hold you accountable!"

My brother-in-law stamped his feet and said, "How can I persuade him?"

"I'm going to have some private conversation with my sister-in-law and my younger sister. It's not convenient for you men to be here!" After saying that, I glanced at Cheng Xinyuan and Qin Luotian. One of them was peeling an apple for me, and the other was peeling an orange for me. "Xinyuan, you don't have to go out. We are all family. But the younger brother next to you..."

Qin Luotian didn't even raise his head, "You have no say on whether I go out or not."

Cheng Xinhua's face looked a little unhappy: "This child is young but has a bad temper..."

"His status in my eyes is the same as Cheng Xinyuan's. Without him, you wouldn't be seeing a living me." I continued with my weak character and spoke weakly.

"Oh! So that's how it is. Then this younger brother is really a great benefactor to our Cheng family!" Cheng Xinhua slapped his thigh.

I sneered inwardly, watching her trying to act like she was devoted to me. A great benefactor of the Cheng family? Oh, you would be really happy if I really died!

Cheng Xinhua finally got to the point after a long period of polite talk, talking about blood ties and blood is thicker than water. He kept saying the same thing: If I hadn't been so cruel to Cheng Xingmin, I wouldn't have been bitten by the dog.

What does this have to do with anything?!

What bullshit logic!

I caught a glimpse of Cheng Xin clenching his fists in anger and wanting to hit someone, so I coughed lightly to remind him to stop.

I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, not responding to Cheng Xinhua's words. Cheng Xinhua was ignorant and could not feel the freezing atmosphere in the ward, so she continued to talk to herself, thinking that I would listen to her.

I didn't want to listen, didn't want to listen, and didn't even want to look at her. I couldn't stand it until now just for the fake "blood relationship". First, I wanted to hear what else she had to say. With her education level, she couldn't say such things. Who knows, her good second uncle, who was the "first college student in the village", taught her. Second, I was injured, so they couldn't just look at me. The things she brought were generally good, but I don't like them now! The bag that my sister-in-law was holding tightly was the key point~

Cheng Xinhua was tired of talking and looked at the orange in Cheng Xinyuan's hand several times. Cheng Xinyuan ignored her and carefully cut it into small pieces and fed me with a toothpick.

And I didn't let her realize it at all.

Just say it, aren't you quite talkative? You come here and still want to eat and drink my food. That's pretty nice.

"It's good to have a younger brother. Look how sensible and supportive Xin Yuan is. Our children are all great!"

Stop flattering yourself! I rolled my eyes silently.

Qin Luotian also cut the apple into small pieces and fed it to me. I opened my mouth and bit it, saying in an obedient but mocking tone: "You also have a brother..."

"What kind of brother is he!" Cheng Xinhua's voice suddenly rose, his facial features became a little ferocious, and he realized that something was not right, and said, "My attitude is not good, sister, please don't mind it."

I continued eating fruit without responding to her.

Cheng Xinhua was disappointed.

After a while, she asked me expectantly, "Sister, I just said so much, what do you think now?

"Huh?" I started playing dumb, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you..."

I cleared my throat and “forced” myself to sit up and said “weakly”: “I lost a lot of blood due to this injury, and the blood supply to my brain is a bit insufficient. I feel confused... My legs are painful and swollen. I was in a coma for two days and just woke up today. I really don’t have the strength to keep up...”

I took two breaths and continued, "We were sitting so close to each other, I just saw your mouth opening and closing, I couldn't hear a word you said, I just ate some fruit and felt a little more alert. Then I heard you say what I thought... What thoughts could I have? I was bitten by a dog and my brain is not working anymore..."

These few words left Cheng Xinhua stunned, and his sister-in-law who was sitting next to him was also confused. So... all the effort just now was in vain?

"You know, my physical condition is not good... You also know how your second uncle treats me. The doctor told me to stay for two months, but in my current condition, let alone two months, even a week would be enough~" I shook my head slightly, looking helpless.

"How could that be? Why don't you go to the hospital if your leg isn't healed?" Cheng Xinhua was puzzled.

"Alas..." I sighed heavily, "I was bitten so badly that I had to get so many stitches on my leg. I also had to undergo surgery and get vaccinated... After calculating all the expenses, my mom couldn't do anything no matter how capable she was..."

I pretended to be out of breath, and Cheng Xinyuan came over to comfort me very cooperatively: "Say less, the doctor told you to rest more and see fewer outsiders."

"How can that be possible..." I pointed at Cheng Xinhua and my sister-in-law, "Are they outsiders? They are the ones who care about me! How can I be worthy of their kindness if I hide this from them?"

"Yes, yes, yes! We are all family, there is nothing we can't say." Cheng Xinhua said quickly.

Where she couldn't see, I raised an "evil" smile at the corner of my lips~

"Yeah... Although that father was not devoted to me, this is not a reason to disown you. He is him, and you are you... You see, I'm injured like this, and he is still my biological father after all, but he has never come to see me once, let alone pay for the medical expenses... My mother has scraped together money from everywhere, but it's still not enough. My medical insurance is at school, so it can't be used here. Tell me, can I still stay in the hospital? How much does it cost per day!"

Of course I said this to scare them. It's useless. I'm just bullying them because they don't have enough education and don't understand.

"How can I not feel heartbroken when I have such a father? I just want to consider the father-daughter relationship, but there is no limit to it~" I pretended to cover my face and cry, acting very aggrieved.

Didn't you, Cheng Xinhua, keep telling me to consider the relationship between father and daughter? I'm saying the same thing now, so why do you look so unhappy?

I leaned my head on Cheng Xinyuan's shoulder, looking like I was tired and sad from talking too much.

I want to see what reasons you have to "persuade" me.

Cheng Xinhua remained silent for a long time. It was already very late. The children outside the door were crying and saying they were sleepy and wanted to find their mother. Two grown men could not control four children at all.

The sister-in-law, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment: "It is true that Second Uncle was wrong first. It is not that we can just ignore it after Second Uncle and Second Aunt divorce. We have no right to care..."

As she spoke, she took out a red envelope from the small bag she was holding tightly. It was the kind you would give as a gift at a wedding, and the edges were a little worn.

But looking at the thickness...

I nodded secretly, yes, this sister-in-law is quite sensible.

My sister-in-law stuffed the money into my hand and said, "Chenglin, it's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation. Your brother and sister don't seem to see each other often, but they actually miss you very much. When they heard that you were injured, your brother secretly wiped his tears in the kitchen and I saw him."

"We are not here to ask you to remember our kindness, nor for anything else. We just ask you to get better soon, and not to resent your father, our uncle, and have nothing to do with my father. It's all the fault of Second Aunt and her family. Not a single good person in the family is good!"

I was just about to praise her for her eloquence, but she ended up saying this...

There is nothing good in their house, but you have it?

"I dare not... After all, she is my aunt..." I continued to pretend to be wronged, and secretly tasted the thickness of the red envelope. Hmm~ Not bad~

"Why do you care about her! She is a married woman and is no longer a member of the Cheng family! The elders in the Cheng family now are only my father, your father and our uncle!" Cheng Xinhua saw that I was so "timid and cowardly" and started to educate me.

"What you said..." I snorted, unable to hide my contempt in my weakness, "You are also a girl, you are also spilled water, according to your logic you shouldn't have come today..."

She felt the pain when the boomerang stabbed her, so she turned her head away and said nothing.

I pinched Cheng Xinyuan's arm, and Cheng Xinyuan ordered us to leave: "We've seen it, we've said it, and we've accepted the gift. My sister is tired after a day, so don't let her torment herself."

My sister-in-law wanted to say something, but I ignored her.

When they were about to move out of the ward, I said to Qin Luotian, "Look, they came to visit me and gave me money and gifts, so they still have family affection. If these others come again, there might be more. I think the other two are not the Cheng family's biological children. The Cheng family has raised them for so many years, so they must be more generous than them! Otherwise, wouldn't it be obvious that people would poke their backs and call them 'ungrateful wolves'?"
