Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Cheng Xingmin stood there woodenly, his head buzzing. He was now completely regretful. He could have just stayed at Cheng Antai's house. Why did he have to come out to wander around? He could have wandered around, but he had to come to the night market. He got angry when he heard Cheng Antai say that Cheng Lin was setting up a stall here. He didn't do anything practical, but just did these empty things every day! Setting up a stall? What kind of embarrassing thing is that? It's really embarrassing! He saw from a distance that there were customers coming in an endless stream in front of Cheng Lin's stall. How long did it take for everything to be sold out? Humph, he doesn't even have the right manners to set up a stall. He's still as ostentatious as ever! It’s only been a month since we last met, and Cheng Xingmin has lost his main source of income, and he won’t have one in the future; Cheng Antai’s hypocritical face was exposed, and his family was tossed around, and they even signed an IOU of 100,000 yuan; Lin Qingmei is still determined to divorce... Oh, and there’s also the matter of his second sister’s family. His second sister cried and told him how Cheng Lin scolded him and treated Deng Dezhu. Cheng Xingmin knew that his second sister was a little bit unkind, but Cheng Lin was too much! Cheng Xingmin felt that all the recent changes were related to Cheng Lin. That evil girl took advantage of his absence to do things that would kill him! Cheng Lin had a great summer vacation! His second sister scolded his brother, but it didn’t affect her business. And Cheng Lin, that girl, he thought she was different from before. She knows how to dress up, and she looks better than before. Humph, she has no self-control! Why don’t you learn from Cheng Xindan? Simplicity is beauty!

Cheng Xingmin didn't know what was going on in his mind, he just wanted to teach Cheng Lin a lesson, to give her a hard time, to let her know who is whose father... Then he overturned the stall. Actually, he wanted to overturn the stall while Cheng Lin was setting up it, but there were too many people around and he couldn't squeeze in.

After Cheng Xinyuan and the other three punched him, Cheng Xingmin regretted it. He also felt that he was a little impulsive today and didn't consider the occasion. If he was seen by someone he knew, how could he put his face? Being beaten in public, and by his own son and his two friends, was the most humiliating thing that had happened to Cheng Xingmin in his life.

He thought Cheng Lin was just bluffing when she said she would call the police, and he regretted it even more when the police really came. He thought that if he had known, he should have waited for Cheng Lin to close her stall and go home before dealing with her, but... he still blamed Cheng Lin. He got angry whenever he saw her, how could he hold it back! Although the two policemen came, he felt guilty. When the two police uniforms swung in front of him, his legs couldn't help shaking.

Cheng Xingmin didn't know that even greater fear was yet to come.

The lights were just coming on and the night market was still very busy. Although there were two policemen standing there in bright uniforms, and many people stopped to watch the excitement, they all left after looking for a while without figuring out what was going on, so it did not affect the traffic.

I squatted on the ground, my shoulders shaking. Squid sister next to me saw that something was wrong with me and came over to ask me, "Chenglin, what's wrong with you?"

The two policemen looked towards me and realized that there were two other people involved. When I looked up, everyone was startled.

"Cheng Lin, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red?!" Sister Squid asked me worriedly, "Are you crying? Are you feeling so wronged? You poor little thing..." Sister Squid said to me distressedly with tears in her eyes, and then glared at Cheng Xingmin, "I've never seen you act like a father in all my years! You are so shameless!"

My eyes were red and sparkling with tears, and my face was covered with tear marks. Under the light of the street lamps and the stalls on both sides of the street, I looked even more innocent and wronged.

I kept squatting and looking up, keeping a very low profile, and spoke with a trembling voice: "Dad... I don't dare to do it again, please don't beat me when you get home..."

"You...!" Cheng Xingmin obviously didn't expect me to do this. He was ready for me to fly into a rage and scold and beat him.

Humph, what is meant by "attacking when one is unprepared"? This is it. Cheng Xingmin, you are a good actor, and your brother is even better. As someone who is related to you by blood, how could I let you down?

"Police comrade, you can go back. My dad is right. This is a family matter. I am ignorant. I shouldn't set up a stall. I am a student and should study hard..." My voice was small and trembling, but every word was clear. What a joke. In my previous life, I passed the Mandarin Level 1B exam. In order to make a living, I also worked part-time as an amusement park director. Those lines were not practiced in vain! I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand, pretending to forcefully hold back my tears (actually it was because I really couldn’t cry anymore), and said aggrievedly, “I’m not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, but I’m selling things on the street to make a living. My mom runs a clothing store, but she’s just a puppet, and all the money was taken away by my dad. My mom knows she owes us siblings, but there’s nothing she can do… I thought about helping her during the summer vacation, but I don’t know how to do anything. I can only cook, and that’s all I can do… Fortunately… Fortunately, my brother and his friends all helped me to sell things on the street…” My voice was choked with sobs, “My brothers and sisters all take special care of me, and they give my brother and me lots of delicious food whenever they have nothing to do. I’m especially grateful to them…”

"Dad, I won't set up a stall in the future. Can you not take all the money Mom earns... Just leave some for us to eat..." I turned my head and leaned in Cheng Xinyuan's arms "wronged", crying. No one could see my expression. I didn't cry at all, I couldn't cry... But I could still pretend to cry.

“You…you…you…” If Cheng Xingmin had thick hair now, his hair would surely stand up in anger. Unfortunately, the vegetation is vast but the plants are scarce, so the effect of hair standing on end with anger cannot be achieved.

"You are a human being!" Dalong wiped his face, jumped up in anger, and walked around again, as if looking for something, not caring whether the police were there or not, "Is there a stick or a shovel? I'm going to beat him to death!"

The tall policeman also clenched his fists, and the short policeman narrowed his eyes and asked Cheng Xingmin coldly: "Is what she said true?"

"Nonsense!" Cheng Xingmin felt so wronged. "When did I ever hit her? I've been on a business trip for more than a month and just came back yesterday. How could I hit her? And her mother's money... How can I get it when I'm away from home!"

"The QR code in my aunt's store is yours!" Yao Yuan stepped forward, "There's also cash, don't think I don't know! Every day, my aunt deposits the cash she collects at the ATM. I accompanied her twice, and I thought she deposited it into her own card, but who knew it was directly transferred to your account!"

Qin Luotian raised his arm: "I'll testify too! You won't believe me if I tell you that my aunt doesn't even have the money to buy a roast chicken. Even my sister borrowed the startup capital from our family to set up a stall. Why do I come here every day? Because I bought shares!"

"You...you...you teamed up to frame me!" Cheng Xingmin shook his hands tremblingly. He couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. "I haven't seen the store's profits for a month. Where did the money she saved go? I haven't seen a penny! That woman didn't give me any money because she was instigated by Cheng Lin. What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Oh, so you admit that you took the money before!" Brother Dalong seized the key point and questioned Cheng Xingmin.

"It's only natural that I get the money she earns!" Cheng Xingmin yelled.

"Why?" These words were said by Brother Dalong and Sister Squid at the same time.

"He earned his money through his own efforts, why do you take it all away! Isn't it shameful for you to be supported by a woman?" Sister Squid pointed at Cheng Xingmin and cursed.

"That's right! It's always the men who earn money outside and hand over their wages to their wives when they get home, but you're the other way around, showing off how capable you are, you bastard!" Seeing this, Brother Dalong was about to take off his shoes and slap Cheng Xingmin.

Cheng Xingmin dodged and yelled, "So what! I'm just capable! Anyway, I didn't take any money this month, and I didn't hit her!!"

"Have you had enough of the trouble?" Cheng Xinyuan finally yelled after holding it in for a long time. Cheng Xingmin was stunned and even a little dazed. Why did this son look so much like his father when he was angry...

"Cheng Xingmin, do you dare to swear to heaven that you have never laid a hand on my sister? My sister has been in the hospital so many times, with broken legs and dislocated arms. How come you have to show my sister the scars on her back before you admit it?"

I do have a scar on my back. That was when Cheng Xingmin beat me in my freshman year of high school. All the other wounds have healed, except for that one, which kept cracking and scabbing, and eventually became a scar.

I still leaned my head in Cheng Xinyuan's arms, pretending to cry. Although I didn't cry, Cheng Xinyuan's white T-shirt must have stained a lot of my makeup...

When Cheng Xingmin heard Cheng Xinyuan say this, he suddenly shuddered. Why did he always like to bring up the past...

"There are still cigarette burns on my sister's calves, Cheng Xingmin, you haven't forgotten them, have you?"

Squid Sister gently lifted the hem of my skirt, frowning, and her hand gently touched my calf. I was a little ticklish, so I dodged slightly, but she thought it was a sign that I was afraid of being wronged.

"You have been committing domestic violence for a long time..." Police Officer Gao looked at Cheng Xingmin with a very dangerous look.

Cheng Xingmin was so scared that he almost peed his pants...

I secretly observed everything around me. Fortunately, this was in an era when self-media was not well developed. If someone took a video and posted it online, I would have been on the hot search for three days.
