Chapter 251: Don’t Want This Son

Mrs. Qin felt the urge to slap him.

’Can’t he just talk properly?’

Just then, Qin Wenhao spoke again. "Mom, did you go pick them up? Why would you do that? That’s too tiring. You should have just let them walk here themselves."

"Besides, they have mouths. If they were too tired to walk, they could have found another way. You can’t do this again. If you get tired out, what would we do at home?"

Mrs. Qin: ...?

Of course, he wasn’t calling *her* "Mom."

And those words weren’t for her, his biological mother.

Although, what he said sounded nice.

’But why does listening to him still make me want to slap him?’

’What does he mean, "they have mouths"?’

Mrs. Fu immediately said, "It’s fine. Don’t I have a three-wheeler? It’s very convenient. It may not look that big, but I think it’s just as fast as a bicycle."

"Besides, Wenshu drove it on the way back. He’s the one who had it tough."

"Next time, just let me know. I can arrange for a car to take you to get them."

After saying this in a gentle tone, Qin Wenhao turned his head, his expression immediately shifting to one of complaint.

"Mom, honestly. Since you were coming, why didn’t you tell me in advance? I could have sent a car for you. That way, my mom wouldn’t have had to go to the trouble of taking her three-wheeler to pick you up."

Mrs. Qin: ?...

’This definitely isn’t my biological son.’

’No, that’s not right. *I’m* not *his* biological mother.’

Even Mrs. Fu felt a little embarrassed listening to this. She quickly explained, "Wenhao, it was Mingxue who said not to tell you. And I wasn’t doing anything else anyway."

"Mom, thank you. You’ve worked hard. When you head back later, make Qin Wenshu drive. He has more strength."

"—Alright." Mrs. Fu was eager to end the conversation.

She turned her head to look at her in-law.

"You two chat for a bit. I’m going to find a doctor and get a prescription for some deworming medicine."

So they wouldn’t get the wrong idea, she quickly added, "It’s for Sister Wang’s two kids from next door. They’ve got upset stomachs!"

With that, she hurried out.

The moment she was gone, Mrs. Qin’s face darkened.

She glared at her son, Qin Wenhao. "If I’d known you were so full of life and that there was nothing wrong with you, I wouldn’t have come."

Qin Wenhao retorted, "Well, I didn’t ask you to come! There was never anything wrong with me in the first place."

Mrs. Qin’s face grew even darker.

’Can I hit him?’

Qin Wenshu, seeing that the mother and son were about to go at it, quickly stepped forward.

"Oh, Brother Wenhao, you have no idea! Auntie was so worried about you the whole way here. She couldn’t sleep or eat. Look, she’s lost so much weight—"

Mrs. Qin: ?...

’Have I lost weight?’

’How come I didn’t know that myself?’

Qin Wenhao sized up his mother and commented, "She actually looks a little chubbier than when we left."

Mrs. Qin’s face turned even darker.

Qin Wenshu’s mouth twitched.

’Alright, not even the gods can save you now!’

’But he wasn’t a god; he was just the younger cousin—he still had to try and keep the peace.’

’Lest his aunt get so angry she started beating a seriously injured patient in his hospital room.’

’Although this "seriously injured patient" was really asking for it.’

"—Brother Wenhao, I have good news! Um, when we were on our way here, our older cousin was going to divorce that Lan Qingman. They’ve probably already gone through with it by now."

To be fair, this news did surprise Qin Wenhao.

He had never particularly liked his sister-in-law, either.

"Why the sudden divorce?"

Sizing up their expressions, a thought occurred to him. "Don’t tell me their divorce has something to do with us?"

Qin Wenshu immediately replied, "It does, a little. After that Lan Qingman heard you were seriously injured, she said some really nasty things, and then—"

He secretly glanced over at his aunt.
