Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

I set up the stall a little late, and when I arrived at the night market, there were already diners waiting for me.

"See, my sister's small business has people waiting for it!" Cheng Xinyuan showed off to Qin Luotian. "Hey, let's make a bet on how long it will take to sell out today's chicken feet!" Cheng Xinyuan put one arm around Qin Luotian's shoulders, and they looked at each other occasionally. It was hard not to smile like an aunt~

"I bet they can be sold out in fifty minutes!" Cheng Xinyuan vowed.

"Half an hour, if I win, your wages for today will belong to me~" Qin Luotian raised his eyebrows. I watched their interaction, oh my~ what a perfect couple feeling!

Today, we made a new flavor of Sichuan pepper chicken feet, which was well received. Most people who came to buy it bought two flavors, one box each. When the last portion was packed and handed to the customer, Qin Luotian looked at his watch: "Six forty, it was almost six ten when we set up the stall, half an hour, I won!" Pretending not to see Cheng Xinyuan's rolling eyes, "Your salary today belongs to me!"

The stall time hit a record low, and the "socially anxious" uncle next to him was amazed: "Oh, you have a comfortable business, you leave as soon as you sell out, it's amazing! I wish I could sell out all the ingredients every day!"

I took out two twenty-dollar bills and said, "I'm in a good mood today, uncle. I'll give you four servings of octopus balls!"

"Take it away, take it away. I ate so many of your chicken feet. How can I charge you for making some meatballs for you?" The "socially anxious" uncle waved his hand and quickly started making meatballs.

"Let's be fair. You can give me as many small balls as you want normally, but today is different. I'm treating my family to a meal, so I'll charge you what I want." I said as I put the money in his cash box. "At most, you can just give me a few more small balls~"

I went to the shy sister to buy grilled squid. I paid for 20 skewers and she made 40 skewers directly. Hey, this stall is really worth it. "Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands." This is not a lingering fragrance, but the fragrance of octopus balls and squid!

Cheng Xinyuan wanted to eat the tornado potatoes, so I asked him to buy four, and gave Qin Luotian money to buy four cups of hand-made lemon tea. I wanted to buy something else to eat, but when I saw the "socially anxious" uncle's posture, I was afraid that he would be full just by eating octopus balls... I can eat these balls until I get sick of them!

"Thank you, uncle!" I took the finished meatballs. He gave each flavor a try and said it was four servings. The portion was still a bit heavy.

"Who are you calling uncle? I'm not much older than you, I was born in the 90s too!" He shook his hair in a self-righteous manner. I stared at the man in front of me with wide eyes, looking at him in surprise. He had a full beard, a vicissitudes of life and a rough voice. "Then...then I really didn't recognize a great man! Thank you, brother!" I clasped my fists and thanked him with a firm look in my eyes.

This time I really came back with a lot of things. Seeing my attitude, the shy sister asked me cautiously, "Are you not coming tomorrow?"

"No, I just feel a little different today, so I bought some delicious food to replenish my energy!" I loaded all the things into the cart and prepared to close the stall.

"That's good, that's good! I thought you weren't coming, and I was feeling really down," the shy sister said, patting her chest. "I finally met someone I like, and I want to get to know you more!"

"Don't worry, I will be setting up a stall for at least the next month!" I replied with a sincere smile. It's great that I can meet sincere people when setting up a stall, and those so-called relatives...

When Ms. Lin saw us coming back with so much food, she said thankfully, "Luckily I didn't cook, otherwise how could we finish all the food!"

I stuffed two octopus balls in one mouthful, and the heat almost made me cry. "Why are you eating so quickly? No one is snatching it from you!" Cheng Xinyuan looked at me with "contempt".

"I'm hungry! I didn't eat much at noon, and I went out in the afternoon to set up a stall. I've been busy all day. How can I not replenish energy quickly!" My eating manners were not very good. I glanced at Ms. Lin guiltily. Well, she was also showing off without any image. The mother and daughter were the same.

"Hey? How about your visit to our uncle's house? Is it like we guessed before, that the whole family is playing tricks on you?" Cheng Xinyuan's "gossip soul" was burning.

I turned my gaze to Cheng Xinyuan and stared at him for a long time, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Cheng Xinyuan felt a little scared by my stare and touched his face subconsciously.

I turned my head away and said, "Nothing, let's eat first, and we'll talk after dinner." I have discovered that I must not discuss things at the dinner table, otherwise I can't eat well. I have to concentrate on eating. I can foresee the reaction of Ms. Lin and Cheng Xinyuan after they know the truth. If I tell them now, all the food will be bought in vain. What's more, Qin Luotian is here. Although we all treat him as our own, when it comes to other relatives, I'm not sure if I should let him know these indecent things.

I took a big gulp of lemon tea and almost spit it out: "Oh my god! This is too sour!"

"You didn't stir it, the syrup is all at the bottom..." Cheng Xinyuan's helpless voice came.

"Oh…"

After dinner, Qin Luotian took the initiative to clean up the garbage. Ms. Lin didn't let him do it, so Qin Luotian said, "Aunt, you said you treat me as your own son, so there is no difference between me and Dayuan. What's wrong with me working in my own home?"

Cheng Xinyuan sat on the chair and looked at me motionlessly. I pouted and made a face, but Cheng Xinyuan still had no expression. Of course I knew what he wanted to know, but he hadn't figured out how to say it yet. After all, I had a plan in mind, but they didn't. With Cheng Xinyuan's temper, he could just pick up a knife and kill Cheng Antai at his house!

"Don't pretend! Don't I know you?!" Cheng Xinyuan had a stern face. With the tone of his voice, why do I feel that he is my brother? Where is my dignity as a sister? "You said it was nothing, but I can see that something unpleasant must have happened when you went to our uncle's house. What are you holding back? Hurry up and tell me!"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Ok!"

"Then calm down first. I can't guarantee how angry you will be in a moment."

Ms. Lin also sat next to Cheng Xinyuan, and both pairs of eyes looked at me. Qin Luotian went out to take out the trash, and when he came back he found the atmosphere a little stiff: "I'll go out for a walk, you guys talk." What a sensible child!

He opened his thin lips and said, "Mom, if my dad and I fall into the water at the same time, you can only save one..."

"Save you!" Ms. Lin said without thinking. "What happened? Did your uncle make things difficult for you?"

I spread my hands and said, "I'm not embarrassed, but you're still acting like a hypocrite. But let me be frank. I've already torn my face off with them during this trip. You...be prepared, because everything you hear next will destroy all your impressions!"

Cheng Xinyuan immediately sat up when he heard me say this: "Sister, is it that serious?"

"It's serious!" I nodded.

"It's okay, just tell me, I'm mentally prepared."

"No, you can't expect it no matter how prepared you are." I took out my phone. "You will know it sooner or later anyway. I had my suspicions before, and I went there today just to confirm it."

Ms. Lin asked in confusion: "Confirm what? I was a little confused when you said you were going to your uncle's house today..."

"I recorded it, you can listen to it yourself. I'll sit at the door. I can't bear to see you getting angrier and angrier." I sighed slightly, turned on the recording, picked up a chair and Ms. Lin's phone, sat at the door and played games. Playing games was fake, but I was really doing it to distract myself.

I didn't turn up the volume of the recording loudly, just enough for them to understand. I closed the glass door and sat outside, so I could hardly hear anything from inside. The second half of the recording is the key point, so I let them listen to it slowly...

When I reached the fourteenth level of Candy Crush, I realized that Qin Luotian had sat down next to me without me noticing. He was also very tall. I sat on a chair and he sat on the steps. With his long legs stretched out, he was almost the same height as me.

"When did you come back?"

"When you reach level nine."

"Are you a cat? You walk without making any sound..."

"You're not paying attention to me, and you're not taking Candy Crush seriously and are absent-minded. Didn't you want to talk to them about something? Why are you sitting outside alone?" He took the phone and passed the level that I had played several times in a few steps.

“I recorded it and they are listening to it.”

"Is it a serious matter?" Qin Luotian looked at me with some concern.

"It's very serious. If it weren't for that family, your sister would have been admitted to Peking University as the provincial champion in liberal arts..." I paused, "It's just right that you're back. Cheng Xinyuan is going to go crazy soon, so stop him..."

"he…"

"He is your good brother. He even stands up and fights for you when you are bullied. Let alone for me?" I said lightly.

"If it has something to do with you, I won't stop him, I will go with him." Qin Luotian's tone was also very calm, but his words were like thunder out of the blue.

I suddenly laughed out loud: "Great, I am really worthy of being a sister. My two brothers are standing up for me. You don't even ask what it is?"

"No need to ask, I can tell from your expression. The matter is serious and you are very sad. Just say what you want to say. Two people are not enough, there are also Xiaoyuan and Bozi. Anyway, we are minors, so hitting someone is not a big deal~" Qin Luotian smiled, revealing his shiny white teeth.

"I've always wanted to ask, what toothpaste do you use? Why are your teeth so white?"

"What's your strange focus?"

Both of them smiled knowingly.

I looked at the situation in the room. Cheng Xinyuan clenched his fists and said nothing. Ms. Lin closed her eyes, but her chest was heaving... I knew that this was the calm before the storm. Although the surface was calm, there were undercurrents hidden.

"Luo Tian," I said softly, "Have you ever had conflicts with your relatives?"

"I don't have many relatives. My father is an only child. I only have an uncle who lives abroad. I haven't seen him for many years. I am also an only child, so there will definitely be no conflicts." Qin Luotian picked up a stick from somewhere and drew circles on the ground.

"It's great, no worries..." I said with envy in my words.

"But I'm lonely too. I was alone when I was little, so I especially cherish my friends like Da Yuan. They're like real brothers to me. I also like... coming here."

"Yes, you have known each other since elementary school. It doesn't matter if you have many friends, two or three close friends are enough..." I said from the bottom of my heart, "I am also very grateful to you for always being with Cheng Xinyuan!"
