Chapter 29: Chapter 29: You Are Making Things Difficult for Me, Chu Fa Da

Chu River’s icy gaze swept over, causing Bai Mei’s knees to weaken, and she collapsed to the ground.

But soon, once she regained her senses, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face—

"What have I done to deserve this?!"

"Little He, how could you do this to your dad? How dare you raise your hand against him? Is this what I taught you?"

"What exactly do you want? Are you determined to bring chaos to this family?"

This was her typical lament, usually employed after Chu River’s rebellious efforts failed.

However, the girl standing in front of her replied, as if it were a matter of course:

"Yes."

Bai Mei: ...

She was at a loss for words.

The act of crying couldn’t go on.

She looked at the man holding his forehead, dazed and cowering, then looked at her daughter, standing tall like a sharp sword, unable to utter a word.

"You... how could you..."

Chu River was quite impatient.

Growing up, besides being supported by the federation’s regular payout robots, she hadn’t encountered such complex familial relationships, and she felt little towards kinship.

After all, in the Star Sea Era, artificial wombs were universally applied interstellar, and natural birth had become purely a personal hobby...

In such a situation, making her feel the warmth of a family, paternal love, and maternal love was really difficult for Chu Fa Da.

...

But after all, filial piety is paramount, and as children, how could you ignore your mother’s lament? This simply goes against human ethics!

Thus, Chu River carefully rephrased her response:

"Yes, Mom, I really don’t want you to live well, and I quite wish to break up this family."

To give credit where it’s due, her attitude was indeed sincere.

"But I just thought about it, and you are all the same kind of trash! Splitting you up seems unnecessary, so let’s leave it at that."

Finally, she sighed deeply, as if bearing a colossal regret.

However, this way, this couple probably wouldn’t trouble her for quite some time.

Feeling the mission accomplished, Chu River swaggered out of the room.

Bai Mei, her eyes stinging, watched all this unfold, unable to hold back as large teardrops fell to the ground with a "smack," shattering the illusion of mother-daughter affection.

The empty room was left with only Chu Fugui’s groaning and Bai Mei’s faint sobbing.

She was in a daze for a while, then finally came to her senses, crawled up after two kneeling steps, and hurried nervously to check on how badly her husband was hurt—

However, just as she turned her husband’s face around, not even reacting to the bruise on his forehead, the door slammed open again!

Chu River returned.

Indifferently, she stepped over the prostrate Chu Fugui at the door, rummaged through drawers until she found the household register.

After tucking the household register into her pocket, she turned back into the kitchen—

She hadn’t tasted the marinated beef yet, she had to take it! Must take it!

As she reached the door, she felt like she was missing something, her spiritual body stirred in her mind.

Chu River thought it over and believed this was a heavenly sign for her to be cautious—

So she turned back and directly stepped on the coffee table in the living room.

"Crunch—"

The glass coffee table shattered with a sound.

And the glass pieces spread evenly across the floor.

Chu River, satisfied, clapped her hands and said to her dearly loved mother:

"Forgot to tell you, when I fight, I don’t care if it’s a person, an insect, a man, or a woman."

"If you think I’m not filial, next time I come back, we can have a fight one-on-one, but for now, don’t bother me, or I’ll get cranky."

With that, she poured the whole plate of marinated beef into a bag, slung her small bag, and left.

Bai Mei: ...

Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?

She looked around helplessly, glanced at her pitiful husband, and saw Chu Fugui with a swollen face and cheeks, the bruises on his forehead and the redness of his cheeks already so obvious!

The swollen flesh occupied space unrelentingly, compressing his features tightly together.

Upon hearing the door and Chu River’s vague threats earlier, he emitted suspicious shivers and hadn’t stopped trembling.

And at last, Bai Mei broke into tears.

She collapsed, realizing that her daughter was completely unfilial, and then sobbed out the door, stopping a neighboring couple just coming up the stairs, with countless emotions swirling in her heart, she was choked with emotions.

It took a while for her to finally get the story out.

"Sister Gao, Brother Chen, I beg you to lend a hand, Little He has gone mad, the moment she came back she demanded money and beat me and her father like this, even wrecking the house..."

Such a rebellious daughter, the scorching sun can’t warm my heart.

Bai Mei only felt she had endured too much.

The couple next door also felt it was a bit much to take in and were momentarily stunned.

However, they didn’t refuse, nodded after exchanging a glance, and started peeking toward the house—

What a sight!

Wow!

Amazing, the glass coffee table shattered evenly across the floor, and Chu Fugui lay there in such a state that he emitted piglet-like squeals.

Besides, a dismembered rocking chair and an innocent stool leg lay at the door.

Neighbor Sister Gao retracted her complex gaze, glanced at her husband, her eyes bearing a fearful authority.

Husband Old Chen’s tender and eager heart instantly shrank.

While Sister Gao apologized to Bai Mei:

"Oh dear, Bai Mei, I’m sorry, but Old Gao’s blood pressure has been unstable recently, and he gets all dizzy going up the stairs, really can’t manage heavy work... Here, let me help you call 120?"

Bai Mei: ...

The child’s father, though very important, the family was truly poor.

calling once would cost 200 bucks, right? There were only 300-some left, if 120 took him, the remaining medical bills wouldn’t be enough.

How could she bear it!

She choked back a sob, heartbroken yet tenderly declined the neighbor’s kindness, deciding to close the door and care for her poor husband herself.

As for her daughter...

The rebellious daughter truly broke her heart, but...

She recalled that foot lightly crushing the table, and couldn’t help but find an excuse for herself—

Though mothers and daughters hold no overnight grievances, the child is in a fit of anger now, so correcting her should wait...

...

And when the neighbors closed their door, Sister Gao said to Old Chen in disdain:

"I’m just sick of you men acting such cowards—getting drunk and causing chaos at home, only to blame it on the kids."

Old Chen wasn’t happy.

Discussing stuff was one thing, but why rope himself in?

Could that even be said for him, Old Chen?

He, Old Chen, a man of indomitable spirit, when had he ever done such tasteless things?

Wife still muttered on:

"Bai Mei as a mother dares have the nerve, oh dear, Little He has barely had enough to eat since childhood, where’d she get the strength to fight? Clearly, it’s Chu Fugui on another drunken rampage..."
