Chapter 825: Chapter 809 Are you sick?
And don’t they feel a pang of conscience treating him like that?
“Go on,”
Ren Wei said to her son with a smile.
This father was still the kindest to her within the entire family and certainly the most understanding.
If there was anyone in the family she worried about leaving behind, someone whose memory lingered in her heart, it would probably be just this father.
And she could tell that Dad really liked Chengcheng, her own son.
She knew in her heart that her greatest pride in life was having this son, who kept getting better as he grew, excelling both in growth and studies; he just kept getting more outstanding.
Therefore, she wasn’t afraid to compare her son with anyone else’s.
She might not dare to boast about other things, but when it came to her son, who else’s child could match her son’s excellence?
Tang Xincheng walked over and stood in front of Grandpa Ren.
Grandpa Ren smiled warmly, holding Tang Xincheng’s hand.
“What’s your name?

Tell Grandpa.”
Tang Xincheng actually liked this Grandpa Ren; he smiled genuinely, feeling heartfelt joy.
He had never had grandparents of his own since he was young.
Although he had Mr.
Wang, whom he had acknowledged as his own grandpa, that man was not his biological grandfather.

Perhaps it was because of the blood ties, so from the first glance, he felt a natural fondness for Grandpa Ren, especially when he was so friendly and amiable, which made people want to get closer.
“My name is Tang Xincheng, and I’m 9 years old.”
“9 years old?”
Grandpa Ren couldn’t help but glance again at Wu Liangliang, who was still sitting in Grandma Ren’s lap.
Wu Liangliang was already 11 years old, yet he looked thin, small, and dark—next to Tang Xincheng, he seemed like a little brother.
And it was clear that he was two years older than Tang Xincheng.
However, he was also in the third grade of primary school.
Because of poor health and a lack of intelligence, while other kids started school at six, he had to wait until he was eight.
And now, although he was in the third grade, in his opinion, perhaps the first grade would have been more suitable.
There was nothing to be done; these were innate issues that couldn’t be compensated for afterwards.
He sighed deeply, unable to help but pat Tang Xincheng’s head, “This child has grown up well.”
“Hmph!” Grandma Ren snorted coldly again, “Don’t know whose bastard child this is.”
This sentence caused Ren Li’s face to instantly turn sour; she could endure pretty much anything, even all the disgusting things they had done to her in the past.
Being able to stand here today proved that she had let go.
They could humiliate and hurt her as much as they liked, but it was a different story when it came to slandering her son.
“Can’t you keep your mouth shut for once?” Grandpa Ren raised his voice, perhaps for the first time issuing such a loud warning to Grandma Ren.
Grandma Ren was about to retort, but upon seeing Wu Liangliang’s skinny, dark, and unattractive face, she ended up closing her mouth, though her long, drawn face spoke volumes.
“Chengcheng, come here.”
Ren Wei called to Tang Xincheng.
Tang Xincheng also walked over and stood before Ren Li.
He had said before that he didn’t care too much about his maternal grandparents.
His sister’s maternal grandparents were just so-so.
He had heard people in the village say since he was young, so throughout his life, he had assumed maternal grandparents were harmful, like wolfish grandmas and grandpas.
Hence, having or not having maternal grandparents truly didn’t matter to him; he harbored no sentimentality, nor would he feel sad.
Ren Li once again grabbed her son’s hand.
“I’m heading back first.
There are still things to take care of at home,” she said indifferently.
She’d seen the person she came for, and it seemed no one here would welcome them, so what’s the point of staying?
To be insulted for no good reason?
It wouldn’t matter much if she were scolded, but it would end with her son being scolded too.
Her son had grown so big, who had dared to scold him?
“Go back for what?”
Ren’s mother suddenly shrieked, “You left without a word and didn’t come home for ten years.
Do you think we’re dead?”
“It’s not that I think you’re dead, it’s that you treated me as if I were dead.”
After ten years of no contact, calling her back just to ridicule her—why should she stay?
Was she that stupid, that cheap, to enjoy being scolded?
“Say that one more time, I dare you!”
Ren’s mother stood up with a whoosh, her voice so high that it nearly shook the roof.
Ren Li instantly felt a pain in her ear, and when she looked at Tang Xincheng, she saw him frowning as well.
Perhaps, in his entire life, he had never seen such a shrewish woman.
Even the most ferocious women of Tang Village wouldn’t dare to speak like that.
Yet Ren’s mother could produce such a piercing scream, easily outdoing the rural shrews.
In Tang Village, even the loudmouths had some semblance of dignity.
So, this behavior from Ren’s mother was shockingly crude in Tang Xincheng’s view.
Now he had truly experienced what a high decibel level sounded like.
Once he got back, he definitely needed to discuss with his brother-in-law just how loud a human voice could get.
This was surely a matter of physics, right?
Yeah, his brother-in-law would understand.
He knew everything.
With a look that said “are you crazy?” Tang Xincheng nearly pushed Ren’s mother to the point of slapping him right then and there.
But just as she was about to act, Ren Ying at her side quickly grabbed her sleeve and shook her head.
Ren Ying was the daughter Ren’s mother had treasured most in her life.
As a child, this daughter was her pride.
On the contrary, her eldest daughter, who neither looked like her nor shared her temperament, was ugly and clumsy.
But who would have thought that even ugly people could become beautiful?
But because of that, and because Ren Ying had sapped all of Ren Wei’s nutrition, now even Ren Wei’s beauty was stolen.
Ren’s mother’s feeling toward this daughter was far from mere dislike—she outright hated her.
Ren’s mother sat down again, but her face turned a furious red.
After Ren Ying spent a long time consoling her mother, she turned to Ren Li.
“Sister, you are not being very sensible, upsetting mom like that.”
Ren Ying, overt and self-righteous in her accusation, made Ren Li burst into laughter right on the spot.
“I may have upset her, but at least I didn’t sleep with my sister’s husband and get pregnant.
Throughout history, no one has ever dared to say that a mistress rising to the top is something glorious.”
“Ren Li, say that one more time,” Ren’s mother stood up again, pointing at Ren Li’s nose as a warning, though it was more like she was cursing her.
“What else can I say?” The smile on Ren Li’s face grew even colder and more mocking.
“You act as if the things you’ve done should remain unspoken.
Do you really think it’s a secret that no one knows about?”
Now, not only Ren’s mother and Ren Wei’s faces darkened, but Ren’s father’s did as well.
