Actually, Xu Qingyou was being sarcastic, but given her current status and her seemingly fragile demeanor, it was quite ironic.

In Xu's mother's eyes, it was even more so...

"Of course not, silly child, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xu's mother spoke unhappily, tears streaming down her face, which she forgot to wipe away.

"No, why is Mother crying? I thought I was going to die!"

Xu Qingyou said slowly.

“My…”

Looking at Xu Qingyou's face, Xu's mother suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Actually, Mother... I suddenly feel that life is so meaningless these days. When Father was alive, everything was fine, but now that he's gone... everything is gone!"

Xu Qingyou's gaze shifted away, remaining fixed on her blanket.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? How come you're gone now?!"

When Xu's mother saw Xu Qingyou's expression, she felt a chill run down her spine.

This child was already feeling hopeless, and now he's saying this. Is he about to do something foolish again?

At that moment, Xu's mother took Xu Qingyou's hand and said, "Qingyou, your mother and I depend on each other for survival. You must not do anything foolish again. If you were gone, your mother would not know how to live."

As she said this, tears continued to fall from Xu's mother's eyes.

“Don’t you have Wang Wanlian? And Uncle Wang too? You’re family with them now! It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not. Ever since Wang Wanlian came, she’s taken my house and I’m living here. Now she’s trying to take my marriage away. She always tries to take this from me and that from me… You always side with her. I feel so tired. I really want to go find my father now.”

Xu Qingyou didn't look up, her eyes lowered as she stared at the pattern on the quilt.

“Qingyou…”

Hearing Xu Qingyou say this, Xu's mother felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to do.

Thinking about it, I started crying again.

"Your mother just wants you to have a good life. Now that Uncle Wang is here, at least you have a father on the surface, and no one will dare to bully you! As for Wanlian, she's pitiful too. She's been without a mother for so many years, and we get along very well... She's never experienced motherly love before, so... I've been a little biased towards her. Plus, she's a proud person. You're my daughter, so even a little bit of mistreatment doesn't matter... But if I'm even slightly unkind to her, she'll know... and then she'll be heartbroken for a long time."

Xu's mother spoke while crying.

She knew Qingyou was uncomfortable, but she wasn't comfortable either.

She had no choice.

Upon hearing what she said, Xu Qingyou felt an urge to curse.

My God, what kind of twisted logic is this?

What does it mean to say that because you are her daughter, it doesn't matter?

So, could she choose not to be her daughter?

This really is a ghost story!!

Because Wang Wanlian has all sorts of sensitivities, you have to be very careful in catering to her needs.

Whom do I owe?

"What does Mother mean by that?"

Qingyou asked aloud.

As Xu Qingyou said this, her voice turned somewhat cold.

Originally, I thought that although Xu's mother was a little weak, she was still her biological mother, and no matter what, she wouldn't go too far.
