My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Chapter 152 This is Your Mom

“Sis’s cakes are so delicious,” she lifted her small face, a coquettish expression on her countenance, making Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but pinch her chubby cheeks a few times. Sisi played happily with her sister, giggling.

Tang Yuxin really loved kids and also her little sister, as long as this child was not surnamed Wei, was not named Wei Jiani.

At this time, unbeknownst to her, in the Tang Family’s private land, Tang Zhinian sat on the ground in silence, his face not looking too well.

“Zhinian, don’t blame your sister-in-law for speaking like this,” A woman had been standing there for quite a while. In fact, she really didn’t want to meddle in this matter, but there was no choice, she had promised the poor-looking woman. Besides, she had given her gifts, so even if she didn’t see face, she had to consider the gifts.

Which mother doesn’t love her own child?

“Look…” she spoke again. “Regardless, you can’t not let Yuxin acknowledge her mother. In our village, which child of Yuxin’s age doesn’t have both a mother and a father?”

Upon finishing, she saw Tang Zhinian’s complexion was bad. Yet, he didn’t rebuff her, so she continued trying to convince him. “Think about it, if Zhilan comes back and wants to take the child, you should not stop her. At the very least, the child should have a mother.”

Tang Zhinian’s lips twitched. After a long while, he placed his calloused hands in his pocket to warm them.

“Sister-in-law, I understand.”

“As long as you understand,” the woman finally relaxed. “I knew you were reasonable. Regardless of your relationship with Zhilan, the child is innocent. You should let Yuxin know she is a child with a mother. What will she do otherwise in the future?”

Those words were like thorns, jabbing mercilessly into Tang Zhinian’s heart. Suddenly, he felt the corners of his eyes heat up, and he covered his face quickly.

It was his failure. Yes, he was useless, a worthless father who couldn’t provide his daughter with a mother.

Tang Yuxin felt Tang Zhinian was a bit strange lately, always staring at her.

She touched her face and opened a drawer, pulling out a small mirror.

It seemed to have darkened again.

Her complexion was even darker than it was in her previous life, but she couldn’t help it. Her skin was prone to tanning. She felt the medicines Chen Zhong gave her were scams. She had been taking them for nearly two years, but her skin did not whiten. Instead, it was getting darker and darker.

She pouted and comforted Tang Zhinian by tugging at his sleeve.

“Dad, dark is my natural skin color. I look like dad.”

Tang Zhinian smiled faintly, but his smile seemed bitter.

He reached out and patted Tang Yuxin’s head. “Our Xinxin isn’t dark. You will become fairer someday.”

Tang Yuxin stretched her lips into a smile, oblivious to the deep sorrow in Tang Zhinian’s eyes.

Yes, I will become fairer someday, Tang Yuxin repeated it to herself. She would buy more whitening products and apply them on her face daily. She didn’t believe she couldn’t whiten her skin.

As for what Chen Zhong said, she continued taking those things. If she couldn’t become fair, she might at least smell better. At the very least, she wouldn’t need perfume in the future and could act as an air freshener, scenting the room.

The next day, she went to school again and brought back her report card— ninety-eight on both subjects. That was good enough. She didn’t score exceedingly well, yet her scores were far from poor, maintaining an upper average.

Also, the village’s primary school didn’t have too many exams now. However, there were yearly Math Olympiads, which Tang Yuxin had no intention of participating in. She didn’t enjoy these things. Given the choice, she preferred gathering herbs on the mountain while learning from Chen Zhong. If she managed to find any precious herbs, that would be even better. She could make some money selling them, which would help improve meals at home.

When she returned home with her backpack, she was stunned upon stepping into the house. Then, she entered her room as if she knew nothing, put down her backpack.

“Xinxin, come out for a moment.”

There was a hint of unease in Tang Zhinian’s voice, as if he was suppressing something.

Tang Yuxin closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she opened her eyes again, which were void of emotion, appearing profoundly void and obsidian.

She walked out to where Tang Zhinian was.

“Dad, who is she?”

She pointed to the woman in front of her and asked as if she didn’t know. Of course, she didn’t need to act. It would be best if she never knew in this lifetime.

The moment Sang Zhilan heard those words, it felt as if something heavy had struck her head. Suddenly, she almost lost consciousness.

“Yuxin, I am your mother.”

Sang Zhilan stepped forward and enveloped Tang Yuxin in a hug, crying.

Tang Yuxin allowed her to hold her but did not react at all.

Ever seen a crocodile’s tears? Yes, these were crocodile tears. If you believed them, your fate would end up like hers in her past life— not only would you hurt yourself, but also harm her innocent father for a lifetime.

The corners of her lips twitched slightly. Then, she shook off Sang Zhilan’s hand, ran behind Tang Zhinian, and rubbed her hand repeatedly on her clothes as if she had touched something disgusting.

Tang Zhinian placed his large hand on his daughter’s head. The large hands, full of calluses, had witnesses the years he had struggled through. He had gone through those years of hardship, raising his daughter from kitten size to her current size. Only he knew how hard it was.

Back in the day, the newborn girl had been crying for her mother which she grew up without. Now, that woman who had never been a mother for even a day, wanted to come back.

She wanted her daughter back.

On what ground? Yes, on what ground?

But regardless of her reasons, he could never deny that she was Tang Yuxin’s mother, her birth mother.

“Xinxin, this is your mother,” Tang Zhinian laughed, his eyes wrinkly. He was still young and strong, but when he became old, who would take care of him?

He remembered his past life— a lifetime of labor without rest, and she, who had been robbed of her husband and her house.

At that moment, hatred flashed in Tang Yuxin’s eyes. Yes, hatred, intense hatred for Sang Zhilan. This woman, who was her mother, used her mother status to harm her for a lifetime.
