633 Unable to Be Ruthless

Even though Li Gui understood everything that Qiao Mei said, Old Madam Li was still her biological mother. Even though Old Madam Li treated her badly most of the time, she just could not bring herself to treat Old Madam Li harshly.

“I… I don’t know either… I just feel that since she’s my biological mother, I can’t do this.” Li Gui looked at Qiao Mei awkwardly.

Li Gui really did not know what to do at the moment. On one hand were her sick children and on the other hand was her lonely old mother.

In the face of all this, she did not know what to do.

“Forget it, you can think about it yourself. I’m going home,” Qiao Mei said in a fit of pique.

“Mei Mei! Mei Mei, you haven’t eaten yet! Mei Mei, don’t be angry!” Li Gui shouted as she looked at Qiao Mei’s departing figure.

However, she still did not have the courage to grab hold of Qiao Mei. She could only watch her leave step by step.

Qiao Mei returned home angrily. At this moment, Qiao Qiang had already returned from his good friend’s house. He had heated up his meal and was listening to the radio on the brick bed as he ate happily.

Qiao Mei did not notice Qiao Qiang at all. As soon as she entered the house, she closed the door forcefully, causing the entire house to shake.

“Why are you so angry? Who provoked my precious eldest granddaughter? Tell me and I’ll deal with her for you,” Qiao Qiang said.

“No one provoked me! I’m just angry at myself! I deserve it! I shouldn’t have interfered in my mother’s affairs!” Qiao Mei sat on the brick bed and looked at Qiao Qiang while huffing and puffing.

Qiao Qiang put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Qiao Mei. “Then who are you angry with? Are you angry with Old Madam Li?”

When he returned to the village, he ran into Zhao Liang, who was working in the village office. Zhao Liang told Qiao Qiang everything that had happened in the past two days and he understood why Old Madam Li was here.

In the end, it was just because of money.

“No! Why would I be angry with someone who has nothing to do with me!” Qiao Mei said.

“Then let grandfather make a guess. Did that child Zhang Wei do something wrong? He has been through so much recently and is already much more mature than before. So it shouldn’t be him. Zhang Chao has been obsessed with doing research on his inventions recently and doesn’t talk to anyone at all. It’s even more impossible for Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao to provoke you.” Qiao Qiang beat around the bush, not mentioning the key people involved.

He just wanted Qiao Mei to say it out herself about who she was angry with and why.

Qiao Mei pouted and said, “It’s my mother. She insists on taking pity on Old Madam Li! Tell me why does she take pity on that evil person and the two children she brought with her! It’s one thing for Old Madam Li to squeeze my mother dry in the past, but she’s still doing evil things now. How can such a person be pitied!”

Qiao Qiang looked at Qiao Mei and laughed. In the end, she was still a child. Even though she was pregnant and was going to be a mother soon, she had not given birth and raised her own children, so she did not understand how a mother would feel.

He did not watch his son, Qiao Yue, grow up but he had raised the two unfilial children of the Liang family. He knew what it felt like to be a parent.

As a parent, one could not bear to see one’s children suffer and feel aggrieved. One would want to give them all the good things in the world.

Perhaps it was because Li Gui had suffered when she was young, so she could not bear to see other children have similar experiences. She would try to help as much as she could.

“Grandfather, say something. Don’t tell me you think my mother did the right thing?” Qiao Mei asked with a frown.

“How would I know so many things, but grandfather knows that your mother must have her own reasons for doing that. She’s also an adult and should know how to consider the consequences before she does anything. What’s wrong if she’s willing to take responsibility when something happens? What’s the point of you worrying here,” Qiao Qiang said with a smile.

Qiao Mei suddenly felt dejected. She thought carefully about what Qiao Qiang said and agreed with him.

In her eyes, she was trying to help Li Gui get rid of an evil person. However, to Li Gui, the person she was going to get rid of was not an evil person, but Li Gui’s own mother.

She put herself in Li Gui’s shoes. She herself did hate Li Gui for abandoning her when she was young, and even if Li Gui had tried to contribute money, she still did not fulfill her duty as a mother. However, she had already forgiven Li Gui now and did not become unfilial to Li Gui because of this.

Li Gui was facing the same problem now. Like her, Li Gui could not bring herself to be ruthless to her own mother.
