Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

After Ms. Lin posted on WeChat Moments on the day of her divorce, she spent the entire afternoon answering phone calls.

Most of them congratulated me, including my eldest aunt Cheng Jinfeng. She didn't know how Cheng Xingmin had overturned my business, so she apologized on behalf of Cheng Xingmin and congratulated Ms. Lin, saying that my father and mother had explained it before they died, and if Ms. Lin wanted a divorce, she should not stop her, as it was inevitable. Finally, my eldest aunt also said that as long as Ms. Lin and the two children were willing, she would always be my eldest aunt.

There were also people who were scolded, including Cheng Yinfeng. Ever since I scolded Cheng Yinfeng and her family last time, Ms. Lin deleted all their contact information. When the call came, Ms. Lin looked at the unfamiliar number and answered it without knowing who it was. Then Cheng Yinfeng scolded for a full ten minutes. Ms. Lin wanted to hang up directly, but she had some special ideas. She turned on the speakerphone and put it on the table so that everyone could hear it. For ten minutes, Cheng Yinfeng didn't even get tired. She used all kinds of swear words frequently and without repeating herself, but Ms. Lin didn't say a word in response. We were amazed to hear this, and Ms. Lin also said, "I have to learn some of these swear words. Maybe one day in the future, I will scold her back if I meet her!"

Aunt Jing has also witnessed the Cheng family's strange ways, "Is this woman really a sister of the eldest sister who just apologized?!"

I nodded: "They are Cheng Xingmin's eldest sister and second sister."

“Then what should I do…” Aunt Jing’s mind was full of questions.

"My eldest sister was raised by my father-in-law. She followed him when he was a teacher in his youth. So her personality is very different from that of her four younger brothers and sisters." Ms. Lin saw Aunt Jing's confusion and explained.

"That is to say, your father-in-law is good at teaching, so the children he raises are naturally good; your mother-in-law is not good at it, so the remaining four are more disgusting than the other!" Aunt Jing summarized.

"That's right! When I first got married, my mother-in-law was nice to me, but then everything changed..."

"I think you are the same. You delayed the divorce until now, and Lin Lin Bai suffered so much!" Aunt Jing touched my face, feeling a little distressed. "Girl, your uncle was brought up by your uncle, so our two families are very close. I used to hear your uncle talk about his niece, and it made us feel sad. But it will be fine in the future, and we will have a good life in the future!"

I nodded obediently, and Ms. Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You are right to scold me. I did help the evildoers in the past... At that time, I valued face and dignity more than anything else, but because of this, I ignored the people I cared about the most. Fortunately, I fell off the cliff in time..."

"It's great that you think this way!" Aunt Jing was full of emotion. The past few days of getting along with Lin Qingmei made her feel that the family was compatible. She also liked Cheng Lin and Cheng Xinyuan from the bottom of her heart. Looking at Cheng Lin's delicate little face, she thought: "Lin Lin doesn't have a boyfriend, right?"

I paused while digging into the ice cream. It’s over. Aunt Jing doesn’t have a son, does she?

Cheng Xinyuan's hands froze. OK, here comes another one...

"Lin Lin, I wonder if you mind having a boyfriend who is eight years younger than you. I promise that your mother-in-law will be easy to get along with." Aunt Jing asked me, holding her chin.

"Cough cough cough..." Ms. Lin was choked and coughed repeatedly. The train of thought of her new friend was really unusual!

"Lin Lin, sister-brother relationships are very popular now~" Aunt Jing looked at me like a crazy fan, and I seriously suspected that she fell in love with me!

"Hurry up and pick out some clothes! We'll go out to eat later!" Ms. Lin patted Aunt Jing teasingly, "There are so many people who care about my daughter, get in line!"

…………

The divorce celebration dinner was held at the highest-standard hotel in the county. The roast suckling pig here is famous far and wide, and if you want to eat it, you have to make a reservation in advance.

I'm so smart! When I was eavesdropping at Cheng Antai's house yesterday, I already booked today's roast suckling pig~

This hotel is not far from my uncle's house, so Ms. Lin invited my uncle and his family to come over. There were ten people, two roast suckling pigs, and many dishes. Everyone ate with relish. Ms. Lin kept saying that this was the most comfortable meal she had ever had.

When Ms. Lin was about to pay the bill, she realized that her uncle had paid in advance when he came. She felt a little ashamed. She had always thought that she had done well enough for so many years, but when she thought about it carefully, it was her elder brother and sister who helped and took care of her more. This is what real relatives are like. They don't calculate, don't ask for anything in return, and just want peace and well-being.

Ms. Lin opened her arms and breathed in the air greedily. She had finally gotten rid of this terrible marriage. The days ahead would be a sunny and smooth road!

I looked at Ms. Lin's relaxed and comfortable appearance, bathing in the sun. I felt like I had completed an important mission. I didn't know whether Cheng Xingmin would do anything else in the future, and I couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't, but at least, on the surface, we had gotten rid of Cheng Xingmin's "shackles". Neither Ms. Lin, nor Cheng Xinyuan and I would live under his shadow anymore. We finally escaped from the cage of the Cheng family.

The past life is still vivid in my mind...

Cheng Xinyuan was devastated after breaking his leg. He could not forgive or understand what Ms. Lin did. Even though his classmate was safe and sound because of Ms. Lin's kindness, and his family came to kowtow to express their gratitude. But what does it matter? Ms. Lin's kindness came at the cost of Cheng Xinyuan's broken left leg. No matter how many tears Ms. Lin shed and how many times she apologized, she could not win back Cheng Xinyuan's heart.

Cheng Xinyuan broke his leg, and I gave up my postgraduate entrance exams to stay by his side. He became violent and irritable, and even the nurses would abuse him when they changed his dressings. He would only be quiet when I was around. At that time, I was almost always by his side, because I was afraid that he would become disgusted with the world and that he would be unable to get over it, which would cost him not only his life, but also mine.

Cheng Xinyuan's injury recovered very well, and he slowly began to receive rehabilitation. At that time, Cheng Xinyuan had been transferred to his uncle's hospital. Qin Luotian and Yao Yuan accompanied Cheng Xinyuan in the hospital after school and at night. They hardly went home. In this atmosphere, Cheng Xinyuan's mentality gradually changed. Although he was not as lively and cheerful as before, he could speak a few words and his mood was much more stable.

He still didn't want to talk to Ms. Lin, even though she accompanied him every day, he was unwilling to show her a smile. Ms. Lin had been busy dealing with Cheng Xinyuan's injury and compensation, and she was full of grievances but had nowhere to complain.

During the first two months that Cheng Xinyuan was in the hospital, his father Cheng Xingmin never came to see him once. At that time, I thought Ms. Lin would divorce him because of Cheng Xingmin's attitude. As a father, why didn't he come to see his son once when his leg was broken? Is this what a human being should do?

But Ms. Lin said at that time: Cheng Xingmin was too sad and couldn't come at all.

Oh, he was too sad? What a joke!

When did Ms. Lin become completely disappointed with Cheng Xingmin? When Ms. Lin found out that Cheng Xinyuan's compensation had not been paid and Cheng Xinyuan's medical expenses were stretched, she went to ask the school for an explanation. As a result, the school said that all the compensation had been paid to the child's father a month ago.

The child's father? Wasn't that Cheng Xingmin? When Ms. Lin angrily went to Cheng Xingmin to ask for money, the 200,000 yuan compensation was gone...

The reason was simple. Cheng Xinlei, the third son of Cheng Fuqiang, Cheng Xingmin's elder brother, owed a loan shark. The loan shark threatened to chop off his hand if Cheng Xinlei didn't pay back the money. Cheng Xingmin used Cheng Xinyuan's compensation to help Cheng Xinlei fill the hole.

I remember I called the police, but the inaction of the police only wanted to keep the peace. They said that Sung Heung-min followed all legal procedures in receiving the compensation from Sung Shin-won, and that as Sung Shin-won's father, he also had the right to dispose of the use of the compensation. Such a person could only be condemned morally.

That is the most ridiculous joke I have ever seen...

I was so angry that I went crazy. I held a knife and asked Cheng Xingmin and Cheng Xinlei for money. I was even ready to die together. Then Ms. Lin said, forget it, just regard it as a farewell to him...

Ms. Lin is completely disappointed with Cheng Xingmin, and I am also disappointed with Ms. Lin...

Is this really the end of our relationship? Then why did Ms. Lin persuade me to match Cheng Xindan with a blood test when she was ill?

This is ridiculous...

Later, Ms. Lin sold the shop on the first floor to Cheng Xinyuan for leg treatment, leaving only the second floor for living. She and Cheng Xingmin also parted ways on the surface.

After Cheng Xinyuan was able to walk steadily with his prosthetic limbs, I also left this home that was not my home.

Actually, I was quite a saint at that time. Cheng Xinyuan's subsequent treatment and prosthetic matching also cost a lot of money, far exceeding the budget. Although the school and insurance later compensated some money, it still owed a lot of foreign debts. Ms. Lin's transfer of the store was equivalent to cutting off her own livelihood. In addition, Cheng Xinyuan's condition required someone to accompany her at all times. Although Cheng Xinyuan was unwilling to forgive Ms. Lin, she also acquiesced to her company. I didn't want to talk to Ms. Lin much, but I also told her: Just take care of Cheng Xinyuan with peace of mind, and I will take care of the money.

I found a job as a lawyer in the provincial capital, but the income was pitifully low at the beginning, barely enough to support myself, so I also found a part-time job on weekends. When I first started working, I had almost no days off except for eating and sleeping, and every day I thought about how to make money. Due to long-term anxiety and depression, my hair fell out in clumps, and I became terribly thin. At my peak, I weighed less than 80 kilograms. This state lasted for about two years, and then my work began to gradually get on track, and "Chenglu" became my favorite name for others.

In the past two years, Cheng Xinyuan has gradually overcome his inner demons and returned to school. The relationship between him and Ms. Lin has not eased much, as if they have become accustomed to each other's presence.

I also never gave up on "suppressing" Cheng Xingmin. During this period, I asked him for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in installments. After that, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never contacted me again before I died.
