Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Finally Figured It Out
This was also a good thing for Li Yanling.
At that time, she had been bullied and oppressed relentlessly. No matter what she did, she always ended up with a bad reputation.
The old lady often bad-mouthed her in front of the neighbors.
To be honest, Liu Zheng found it hard to bear.
He couldn’t imagine why the old woman, at her age, could be so malicious, unable to tolerate a young girl.
Moreover, this girl was quite good to her, washing her clothes and cooking for her, never letting her do any heavy chores around the house.
Besides, her son was already dead.
Li Yanling had long been divorced from her son.
The house was also Li Yanling’s.
Living there without paying, she got to have a handy servant for free.
Yet, even so, she was never satisfied. She kept on playing the victim and acting high and mighty.
If things continued this way, it would likely have an even greater impact on Li Yanling, and it could disrupt the peace of their home.
Fortunately, they made a firm and correct decision; otherwise, everything would have only gotten worse.
Soon, he opened his mouth to speak.
"No, it’s me, Liu Zheng."
Originally, Xiaokai thought it was the old lady, which was why he said what he did. After hearing it was Liu Zheng, he naturally became very happy.
He immediately went to the door to open it and then, with an apologetic face, said to Liu Cheng.
"I’m really sorry, Uncle Liu. I thought it was Grandma, so I said some unkind words. It was truly embarrassing for you to hear."
After hearing this, Liu Zheng didn’t mind at all. Honestly, seeing such a big change in Xiaokai, he was genuinely pleased.
"It’s okay, it’s okay. How’s your mom doing now? I came to see her. I feel she must be very upset."
Upon hearing this, a look of helplessness appeared on Xiaokai’s face.
He sighed softly, then shook his head and said in a low voice.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, you’re right, my mom is really upset now. I don’t know how to console her anymore. You go and comfort her, please."
"Come in quickly."
Soon, Xiaokai led Liu Zheng to Li Yanling’s side.
When Li Yanling saw Liu Zheng had come, she was, naturally, very surprised, wondering why he had suddenly shown up.
She immediately grabbed a tissue from beside her and gently wiped away the tears on her face before speaking.
"Why are you here? What’s happened? Has something gone wrong again?"
Liu Zheng shook his head gently and said to her.
"Why are you still here crying nonstop? You haven’t done anything wrong. It was clearly her fault. Now that everything is resolved, you should be happy. If you keep going on like this, you’re going to run your health into the ground."
He didn’t want Li Yanling to ruin her health at this time.
The old hag deserved a thousand cuts.
Now that a difficult decision like this had been made, finally driving her away, this mother and son should have been happy—so why were they crying here?
Moreover, if emotions really did run high, it could have a certain impact on one’s own body, and he didn’t want Li Yanling to be so affected.
Little Kai, who was at her side, grew more worried after hearing this. He tightly held Li Yanling’s hand and then spoke.
"Yeah, Mom, please stop crying. It hurts me to see you like this, and I hope you can be a bit happier."
"I admit I used to be thoughtless and always made you unhappy, but can you please be happy now because of the changes I’ve made?"
Little Kai had really grown up a lot.
It also brought great comfort to Li Yanling’s heart.
Not only that, Liu Zheng was deeply moved as well.
Now that everything had been resolved, he also hoped that Li Yanling could face the future with joy.
After hearing what the two of them said, how could Li Yanling not know what she should do?
At this moment, she was indeed very happy.
Happy that changes had truly occurred, just as Liu Zheng had said: sometimes she really had been too oppressed by morality, and shouldn’t have cared too much about it at other times.
She had done what she should, and even what she shouldn’t have done.
What else did she expect from herself?
If things were to continue this way, wouldn’t she become a mere nanny, a servant to her?
She had been kind enough to her, yet instead of appreciating it, she had treated her so badly.
Given these circumstances, it indeed was time to make a change; otherwise, she would spend her life catering to her every whim.
Once she had realized this, she felt much less sad. At that moment, she raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes before speaking.
"I really owe you both so much. If it weren’t for you, I might not have been able to make it this far."
But to be honest, Liu Zheng didn’t feel that what he had done was anything remarkable. Seeing that Li Yanling’s mood had improved significantly, he was also much more at ease.
"It’s okay, it was what I should have done. No matter what, as friends, I had to help you with such an issue. If you kept going on like this, you might end up suffering a lot and it could have a negative impact on you."
Little Kai also promptly nodded in agreement.
"Right, Mom, I don’t want you to be too upset over this. From now on, we’ll live well together and surely have a much more wonderful life than before!"
After hearing these words, Li Yanling’s heart was filled with immense relief.
Possibly, before this, she had been rather timid, and when faced with many situations, she seemed to have no other option but to acquiesce.
But now, things were different. She had seen everything clearly now, knowing the old hag’s tricks and would not allow her to continue this way.
Soon, a smile finally appeared on her lips.
Seeing his mother smile, Little Kai naturally felt incredibly happy.
Soon after, he turned his head and expressed his thoughts to Liu Zheng and his mother who were in front of him.
