Wei Xinyue immediately said, “Why spend that money? I think this one is pretty good now! It’s not easy for you to earn money. Don’t spend recklessly. Save up and use it as your dowry. In the future, when you meet the right person, you can marry yourself off in a glorious manner. You can’t let your in-laws look down on you…”
After that, she continued to ramble on and on, blaming herself for not having the ability to help her daughter. Instead, she was dragging her down.
Ling Xuewei smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
She did not tell her mother that in her life plan, there had never been a marriage and children.
This was because she knew that her mother would definitely not understand why she would have such thoughts.
Forget it, there were still a lot of days in the future anyway, so she would slowly change it.
Wei Xinyue nagged on, saying that she was blind back then.
She had already repeated this many times on the way back.
Ling Xuewei forced a smile and helped her mother to sit down on the sofa, saying, “Mom, don’t mention those unhappy things in the past. Everything is fine now!”
“Oh right, I can cook now, but you have never eaten my food, right? Sit and watch TV for a while. I’ll go cook. I’ll call you when I’m done.”
Wei Xinyue immediately wanted to get up. “I’ll help you.”
Ling Xuewei smiled and pushed her back onto the sofa.
“No, you can just sit and watch TV in peace. Here’s the remote control. You can adjust whichever channel you want to watch. Let your daughter show you her skills today. I can cook really well now!”
Wei Xinyue’s thoughts were finally drawn out by Ling Xuewei from the haze of the past.
She nodded repeatedly. “Eh, okay, I will just sit and watch TV then. If you need help, call me.”
Ling Xuewei smiled. “I can do it alone. You can just wait patiently for the meal to start.”
After saying that, she went to the kitchen to get busy.
Actually, her culinary skills were very average.
In the past, she had spent almost all her attention on earning money. How would she have the time and energy to hone her culinary skills?
The things that she made could only be said to be barely edible.
If it were not for the fact that she was trying to change the topic, she would not have taken the initiative to offer to cook.
In fact, she would rather take her mother out for a feast than cook a meal herself.
However, looking at Wei Xinyue’s previous actions, she knew that Wei Xinyue would refuse to go because she would definitely think it was a waste of money.
With no other choice, Ling Xuewei could only bite the bullet and wash the vegetables.
At the same time, she prayed in her heart that the dishes she made today would taste a little better than usual.
It was her first time making a meal for her mother, so she didn’t want to leave a bad impression.
Ling Xuewei’s thoughts surged. The kitchen knife in her hand fell on the chopping board, making a dull and dense sound of a collision.
Wei Xinyue in the living room heard this sound, and her face became paler and paler. The look in her eyes also became more and more terrified.
It was as if time and space were in disorder. She seemed to have returned to more than twenty years ago in an instant.
She had returned to those terrifying years that were filled with the threat of death.
She began to scream in alarm. Her entire body was like a headless fly as she ran around the house.
She knocked over the coffee table and broke the vase.
Glass shards and water spilled all over the floor.
She was completely unaware of it. She was still running around in panic and running across the surface of the water.
The sound was very similar to the sound she made many years ago when she stepped on a pool of blood to avoid being beaten.
“Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!!”
She screamed in fear, spluttering incoherently.
In the kitchen, Ling Xuewei finally heard that something was wrong. As soon as she came out, she saw water and blood all over the floor. She was shocked.
“Mom!”
She shouted, but Wei Xinyue did not react at all. She continued to run around desperately, avoiding punches and kicks that did not exist.
Ling Xuewei knew that her mother’s mental illness was acting up again. She ignored the glass shards on the floor and rushed forward to hug Wei Xinyue tightly.
At the same time, she spoke loudly to her, trying to regain her consciousness.
“Mom! Look at me! I’m Little Xue!”
“No one hit you! No one can hurt you anymore!”
“Mom! Wake Up!”
Wei Xinyue didn’t listen to a single word. Instead, she treated Ling Xuewei as her husband.
She screamed and struggled violently, trying her best to push Ling Xuewei away.
Ling Xuewei was no match for the crazy Wei Xinyue and was pushed to the ground by her.
Her palm just happened to press on a piece of broken glass, and blood immediately flowed out.
Ling Xuewei didn’t care about the pain. She just wanted to control her mother as soon as possible so that she wouldn’t suffer more injuries.
“Mom! I’m Little Xue! Little Xue!!”
Ling Xuewei hugged Wei Xinyue again and repeated loudly in her ear over and over again.
She didn’t know if Wei Xinyue had finally heard or if she was exhausted but at least, she didn’t scream and didn’t run around the house anymore.
It was as if her soul had been sucked out in an instant. She became dazed and just let Ling Xuewei hug her like that. She didn’t speak or move.
Ling Xuewei glanced at the broken pieces on the ground. She didn’t dare to let her mother stay here any longer. She could only carefully lead her into the bedroom.
This process seemed easy, but in reality, it took a lot of time and energy.
When she finally let her mother lie down on the bed, Ling Xuewei only then realized that she felt pain and exhaustion. It was as if all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
Her rationality told her that she could not allow her mother to continue like this.
This time, she was lucky. Her mother had calmed down. She might not be able to have such luck again.
If her mother kept on tormenting her, she would not be able to control it with her own strength.
This time, she only stepped on a piece of glass and scratched the bottom of her foot. Who knew what would happen next time.
She had to treat her mother immediately.
Even if she was unwilling, she had to send her to the hospital.
Ling Xuewei quickly found her phone and dialed the phone number of her business partner.
“Hello, President Qian, it’s me.”
“Your wife works in the psychiatric department of the Second People’s Hospital, right? It’s like this. My mother was once traumatized, and her condition is not very good now. She may need to be hospitalized for treatment. Do you think you can help arrange it?”
The person on the other end of the phone said, “Little Ling, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but it’s really unfortunate. A ward of the hospital my wife works in caught fire and two hospitalized patients got burnt!”
“The family members are currently causing a ruckus, and the hospital is also investigating the cause of the fire. In any case, they’re all in a terrible state. I reckon that they won’t be accepting any new patients in the near future.”
“Why don’t you contact the Green Mountain Hospital?”
Ling Xuewei was shocked. “Fire? When did it happen?”
President Qian replied, “This afternoon, around four or five o’clock. I only found out about the incident in their department after reading the letter from my wife.”
“I don’t think she will be able to go home tonight.. She will have to stay in the hospital to be investigated.”
