"How many times have I said it? I've never had another woman outside!"

Liu Shanshui growled, and he was getting angry.

Wang Erhai was driving right beside them; Deng Cuihua shouldn't have said these things at this moment!

"If you don't have another woman, why would you treat me like this?"

Deng Cuihua questioned.

This was an important reason she had always firmly believed Liu Shanshui had another woman outside.

In her view, if Liu Shanshui had no other woman outside, it was impossible for him not to touch her at all for so many years.

She didn't believe there was any man in this world who could endure ten or twenty years without doing that.

"You two stop arguing!"

Liu Mei Qi pulled a long face and shouted at this moment:

"If you keep arguing, I'll never care about you again!"

After Liu Mei Qi said this, the situation was finally brought under control.

Liu Shanshui silently looked out the car window; he actually didn't want to argue.

To be exact, he was too lazy to argue with Deng Cuihua.

He had no spirit left at all.

Deng Cuihua, meanwhile, glared at Liu Shanshui's back with a gloomy gaze.

It was clear she hadn't argued enough; she still wanted to scold Liu Shanshui a few more times.

It was just that, afraid of her daughter's tantrum, she stopped her mouth.

Wang Erhai, driving on the side, felt a bit embarrassed.

He felt that staying silent like this all the time wasn't very good either.

But if he wanted to speak, he didn't know what to say.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Deng Cuihua with a gloomy old face, like an old zombie, somewhat terrifying.

He then hurriedly opened his mouth:

"Mom, rest assured, Mei Qi and I will definitely come back to visit you often in the future."

Deng Cuihua's expression softened a bit, and Wang Erhai continued:

"Anyway, it's so close, coming back won't take much time, Mei Qi, don't you agree?"

Liu Mei Qi, however, remained silent.

Like her father, she turned her head to look outside the car.

"Erhai, this is what you said; you must remember these words, you must do what you say."

Deng Cuihua's posture became domineering, and she said in a commanding tone:

"From now on, you and Mei Qi must come back to see me at least once a week; if you don't come back, I'll go find you!"

Wang Erhai had just been quite sympathetic toward Deng Cuihua, but now, hearing these words, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

How could this kind of thing be a hard requirement? It should be entirely voluntary.

If work gets busier in the future and he really can't spare time to come back, what then?

"Hehe, we'll do our best, Mom, calm down; getting angry is bad for your health."

Wang Erhai laughed dryly.

"Wang Erhai, why are you saying this to her!"

Liu Mei Qi suddenly said this in a bad mood.

She also said:

"Just let my dad come back; I'm so busy with work, how can I often go home?"

Deng Cuihua glared at Liu Mei Qi:

"Daughter, even you dislike me?"

Liu Mei Qi turned her head to look out the car window and stopped speaking.

Deng Cuihua started crying again.

She wiped her tears while sobbing:

"I'm old now, full of aches and pains; you all dislike me; I might as well just die!"

Liu Shanshui, who hadn't spoken much all along, lightly interjected at this moment:

"Who can be blamed? It's all your own doing."

Deng Cuihua exploded at once.

"I'll jump out of the car and die!"

Saying this, she actually went to open the car door, wanting to jump out to seek death!

Wang Erhai was so scared he shuddered and hurriedly stepped on the brake.

Liu Mei Qi was also greatly frightened; she quickly hugged Deng Cuihua, thus preventing her from succeeding.

"Are you crazy! Don't you know we're on the expressway right now!"

Liu Shanshui was also badly frightened and couldn't help but burst into a furious scolding.

"If you want to die, find a deserted place and die by yourself; don't drag us down with you!"

Deng Cuihua shouted excitedly:

"I want to drag you down, and even if I die, I'll make you miserable!"

Wang Erhai was speechless to the extreme, his hands trembling slightly from fright.

Fortunately, the expressway exit was just ahead.

He quickly exited the expressway, pulled over a bit outside the toll station, and stopped the car.

Then he hurriedly comforted Deng Cuihua:

"Mom, please don't get excited. Mei Qi and I will really come home to visit you often from now on!"

"Then swear to heaven that if you break your oath, you'll die a terrible death!"

Deng Cuihua forced Wang Erhai to swear an oath.

Wang Erhai felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, he finally understood Liu Shanshui's difficulties and felt that Liu Shanshui was too damn pitiful.

"Fine, I swear I'll come back to visit you. If Mei Qi and I don't come back, may we die a terrible death."

"You must specify how often you'll come back!"

"Once a week."

"Once a week isn't enough; you must come back at least twice a week!"

Wang Erhai was full of astonishment, staring speechlessly: "No, Mom, didn't you just say once a week was fine?"

"That was just now. Now I'm angry, so you must come back twice a week!" Deng Cuihua said righteously.

Wang Erhai couldn't help but laugh; it turned out that being speechless to the extreme could really make one laugh.

"Erhai, don't mind this crazy woman. She's having another episode; it's time for her medicine!"

Liu Shanshui said such a sentence at this time.

Deng Cuihua said coldly:

"I'm not having an episode; I'm doing great!"

Liu Shanshui took out a box of Carbamazepine from his pocket. It was a prescription drug for treating mania and epilepsy. Liu Shanshui always carried a box with him; whenever Deng Cuihua truly couldn't control her emotions, he would give her one pill.

"Hurry up and take one."

Liu Shanshui handed the medicine to Deng Cuihua.

Deng Cuihua trembled all over and could barely control her emotions.

Perhaps she also knew she had lost control of her emotions.

So although she was very angry, she still took the pill Liu Shanshui handed her and took one.

After taking the medicine, Deng Cuihua's emotions stabilized significantly.

Wang Erhai glanced at the Carbamazepine box and discovered it was medication for mental illness.

He couldn't help but feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

In that instant, he seemed to understand why Liu Mei Qi had inexplicably started quarreling with him.

It was obvious Deng Cuihua had a mental illness, and Liu Mei Qi's emotional instability was inherited from her mother.

Although not as severe as her mother's, they were very similar in many ways.

Wang Erhai worried in his heart: if they had children in the future, would their children also inherit the mental illness history of the mother and daughter?

After Deng Cuihua's emotions stabilized, the four of them got back in the car and continued on their way.

Before long, Deng Cuihua fell asleep.

The other three people in the car remained silent.

There was no more quarreling like before.

Soon, they returned to Liu Mei Qi's hometown.

Liu Shanshui personally went to the kitchen and prepared a table full of sumptuous rice and dishes.

Liu Mei Qi and Wang Erhai ate lunch, and then they returned to the County Town.

On the way back, Wang Erhai finally asked the question he wanted to ask:

"Does your mom have a mental illness?"

Liu Mei Qi said with a look of indifference:

"It doesn't count as a mental illness, does it? She still has her own rationality; she just sometimes can't control her emotions, easily gets stuck in a rut, and knows exactly what she's doing. She's just petty-minded, taking revenge on my dad and on me."

Liu Mei Qi didn't believe this was a mental illness from the bottom of her heart. In her view, only those who can't distinguish reality from fantasy, completely lose their rationality, and even fail to recognize their own relatives count as having a mental illness.

Her mother's situation obviously didn't count.

But she didn't know that, according to the Doctor's diagnosis, her mother had bipolar disorder plus mental abnormality; otherwise, they wouldn't have prescribed her Carbamazepine.
