Chapter 1448: Just Have Some Pity on Your Son

On the way Cui Wenbing was taking Cui Mu to the clinic, he said with a serious expression: "Mom, you'd better tell me the truth, or I'll have no choice but to send you back to the countryside."

Cui Pozi, who was already in pain all over, had hoped her son would find the culprit and avenge her, but she never expected him to have this attitude: "It's just as I said; I didn't tell a single lie."

Cui Wenbing had been watching his mother's expression closely; seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he asked: "Then think carefully—did you say anything or do anything at that time?"

By this point, Cui Pozi knew she couldn't argue stubbornly with her son. Recalling the curses she had muttered back then, she suddenly felt guilty and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Seeing her like this, Cui Wenbing said: "You'd better tell the truth, or not only will this matter fail to avenge you today, but I'm afraid I'll be called in to be criticized."

Cui Mu coughed lightly and stammered: "I heard that the couple across the alley donated a lot of money the other day, that, that..."

She naturally couldn't go on.

But Cui Wenbing understood; his mother must have been jealous of them, so she spoke without holding back and said things she shouldn't have.

If that were the case, today's incident would make sense.

But in the next instant, he realized that didn't fit either: Deputy Regiment Commander Fu had gone to the regiment headquarters early that morning; at that time, he simply hadn't returned to the family compound. As for the deputy commander's wife, there was a distance between the two households; she couldn't possibly have passed by their side when coming and going. Even if his mother had said some loose talk in the courtyard, the woman couldn't have heard it.

Even if she had heard it, given her frail and weak appearance, and considering the situation in their courtyard today, it couldn't possibly have been her doing.

For a moment, he felt bewildered, his mind in a complete mess.

But with such an incident having occurred, regardless of whether the prankster could be found, he was afraid he would be called in for questioning. He ground out the words between his teeth: "Mom, how many times have I told you to keep your mouth shut? Why just won't you listen?"

Cui Pozi ignored her son's reproach and instead exclaimed: "You think it was that little bitch who did it too, right?"

Cui Wenbing nearly fainted from the shock: "In the next few days, I'll make time to send you back to Luancheng."

He really couldn't take it anymore. Before, although his wife had also caused trouble and wasn't very popular in the family compound, it had all been trivial matters; no one would bring them up openly.

But since his mother stayed behind, his popularity in the family compound had dropped even further; even the brothers he trained with no longer showed the same enthusiasm as before.

Today was even worse; the main gate had been taken apart, and no one knew who had done it: "Mom, don't blame your son. If you stay here, it won't be long before our whole family is kicked out. Just have some pity on your son."

Besides, it's already October. You've been complaining about family matters at home this whole time; I've heard everything. Now the road is open, and going home is very smooth. Moreover, simple houses have been built back in our hometown, so there will be a place for you to stay."

Cui Pozi was suffocating with anger, but her son was now furious and determined to send her back. For the sake of the future, she could only compromise: "Fine, I can go back, but Yu Jun and Yu Quan must go with me."

Unexpectedly, Cui Wenbing refused: "They have just adapted to this place; let's not stir things up. Besides, they are grown now; it's not good for them to always be separated from their parents. Second Brother said Second Sister-in-law is pregnant, so you can go back and take good care of her."

Cui Pozi had originally wanted to make a scene, but upon hearing the latter part of his words, she finally nodded.
