After dinner, her mother insisted on washing the dishes, saying, “Today I’ll wash the dishes. You let your mom move around a bit.” She showed that her energy was still vibrant.
Mei Yu giggled, carefully examining her mother to ensure she was okay before saying, “Alright then. I’ll let you wash dishes this time because you’re in a good mood.” For a long time, Mei Yu’s mother felt uncomfortable seeing her daughter come home after washing dishes all day at the restaurant.
Mei Yu finished speaking, took an apple from the fruit bowl, and sat on the sofa watching TV, feeling very relaxed – something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Mei Yu’s mother went out to wash the dishes alone. She slowly bent down, placing the dishes on the sink and carefully washing them…
In the side room of this quadrangle courtyard, Meiyou’s mother, who had just returned from buying groceries, pulled Meiyou, who was watching TV at home, into her room. She closed the door, drew the curtains, and said, “Meiyou, I just went out, do you know what news I heard? That restaurant owner is alive again, and he even found someone to give false testimony, saying…” Meiyou’s mother stopped, unable to continue. But Meiyou, who had been waiting impatiently, urged her mother to continue.
Helpless, Meiyou’s mother finally said, “They say they saw you go to the boss to demand wages, and after being refused, you hit him with a gas bottle.” Meiyou’s mother spoke softly, but the words were clearly heard by Meiyou.
She felt extremely wronged, breathing heavily with anger. After a moment, she turned to open the door and go out.
Meiyou’s mother quickly grabbed Meiyou’s hand, preventing her from leaving. “Meiyou, you can’t go out now. If you go, you’ll fall into their trap. Listen to me…” As she spoke, Meiyou’s mother leaned against the door, blocking her way.
Chapter Fifty-Five (Their Wounds)
Meiyou was still furious. How could there be such shameless people who not only provoked others but also turned around to frame them?
