Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Mom’s Not a Tiger

"Xiao Yue, pregnancy has been hard on you." Mo Xiaolin held Tang Yue’s hand and helped her into the house.

Tang Yue’s eyes twinkled as she flashed a smile, saying, "Mom, this is Si Yu and my child, the fruit of our love. Having them is the happiest thing for me. I can’t be more thrilled and don’t feel any hardship at all."

"Mom, I heard Jinghua Attached Primary School is hiring music teachers. How’s your application going?" Tang Yue inquired.

Mo Xiaolin shook her head and said, "I didn’t go, Xiao Yue. You’re about to give birth, and I can’t feel at ease going to teach. Besides, we don’t lack money at home; it’s enough to support me and my husband."

"Xiao Yue, what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you."

Changing the topic, Mo Xiaolin got up and headed to the kitchen, joining Zhang Hualian in cooking. Mo Xiaolin frequently came around, often bringing food or baby diapers or clothes.

Having not seen her son for a long time, Mo Xiaolin naturally stayed until evening.

That night, Mo Xiaolin noticed something odd. Why was Lian Qingyang calling Zhang Hualian ’Mom’?

Mo Xiaolin knew Lian Qingyang’s identity, from being Tang Yue’s half-brother to having no blood relation, to now surprisingly being a full brother?

It was like something out of a TV drama, too dramatic.

"Mom, this is a good thing. Xiao Yue has another brother, and my mother-in-law has another son," Meng Siyu said softly, his deep gaze on Mo Xiaolin, "If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been alone all these years."

He was too young to understand back then, but when he did, he was powerless.

He had tried to persuade her, but Mo Xiaolin was determined not to listen.

Fortunately, later finding Meng Jin was a reason for not stopping Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin’s decision to remarry.

Both of them had love in their hearts, and Meng Jin hadn’t married for Mo Xiaolin’s sake, which made up for her years of waiting.

"Si Yu, having you with me, I’ve never felt alone." Mo Xiaolin, knowing her son was feeling sorry for her, felt happy inside and also glad for Zhang Hualian.

"I know you’re busy, but no matter how busy you are, make time to accompany Xiao Yue."

Mo Xiaolin kept reminding Meng Siyu to take good care of Tang Yue.

She was, after all, the mother-in-law, and no matter how thorough, it couldn’t be compared to a husband’s care, not to mention that most of Tang Yue’s care came from her mother-in-law.

After dinner, Meng Jin came to take Mo Xiaolin home and seriously asked Tang Yue if she could come to the Meng Family for a meal at the beginning of next month.

"Dad, we will go back." Tang Yue glanced at Meng Siyu. Meng Siyu had already mentioned this to her, so of course, they agreed now.

"Good, then I’ll have Si Yu pick you up." Meng Jin said with a genial smile, quite different from his stern, serious demeanor in the corps.

Meng Siyu escorted them out.

Lian Qingyang slipped up to Tang Yue and said, "Sis, I want to go back to Sea City and share this good news with Dad."

"You should tell him." Though Tang Yue never called Lian He ’Dad,’ she regarded him as an ordinary elder.

Lian Qingyang said ingratiatingly, "You tell Mom."

Lian Qingyang really liked Zhang Hualian, but sometimes her intense concerns, like not wanting him out of her sight, made him feel pressured.

"Mom wants to make it up to you." Seeing his ingratiating smile, Tang Yue couldn’t help but say, "You tell her yourself. Mom’s not a tiger, she won’t eat you. Plus, if you want to go back to Sea City, Mom definitely won’t stop you."

"Sis." Lian Qingyang was about to say more when Tang Yue already shouted, "Mom, Xiao Yang wants to talk to you."

"Hey."

In the kitchen, Zhang Hualian came out wiping her hands, her expression soft as she looked at Lian Qingyang and asked, "Xiao Yang, what’s wrong, do you want something to eat?"

"Mom, I’m quite full." Lian Qingyang quickly waved his hand. These past few days, he had been eating well at every meal, feeling like he had gained quite a bit of weight. Having just eaten, his stomach was still very full.

"It’s like this." Lian Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "I am your and Dad’s son, and a twin with Sis. Such good news, I haven’t had a chance to tell Dad yet, so while there’s not much going on at the factory, company, or school, I want to take a trip back to Sea City."

Now, during the summer break, he was about to enter his senior year, and he had learned almost everything he needed. Both the factory’s and company’s production were going smoothly, so taking a few days off wouldn’t have much impact.

Zhang Hualian paused for a moment and agreed, "You should go back. Such good news should indeed be shared, so he doesn’t misunderstand you."

Lian He might still suspect that Xiao Yang wasn’t his biological son. Thus, having Xiao Yang return and prove his identity was indeed beneficial.

Although Zhang Hualian didn’t love Lian He anymore, what needed saying had to be said. They had two kids together, which couldn’t easily be wiped away, and she couldn’t prevent the kids from recognizing their father.

"So when are you thinking of going?" Zhang Hualian asked while starting to itemize the things he needed to take on his trip.

Lian Qingyang had seen Zhang Hualian pack for Tang Jun before, and at that time, he had even envied Tang Jun.

Now, seeing Zhang Hualian pack for him, Lian Qingyang was so touched he didn’t know what to say.

"Xiao Yang, these clothes need to be folded, and how can you put your socks together with your underwear?"

"Remember to pull the curtains open for ventilation in your room during the day."

While packing for Lian Qingyang, Zhang Hualian tidied his room. Lian Qingyang wasn’t exactly lazy, but some habits hadn’t changed, and before he always had an aunt to help him, but now living in the company, he had to rely on himself, and things weren’t as neat.

"Mom, thank you." Looking at her busy figure, Lian Qingyang felt warm inside. Growing up, no matter where he was or how messy the place he lived in was, Xiang Yazhi hadn’t so much as helped him pack, and it was already good if she remembered to get an aunt to help.

"I’m your mom; it’s what I should do."

Zhang Hualian smiled broadly. Feeling better in recent days, she even appeared a few years younger.

At the airport.

Zhang Hualian reluctantly sent off Lian Qingyang.

"Xiao Yang, remember what I said." Meng Siyu patted his shoulder, his deep eyes looking encouragingly at him.

"Brother-in-law, rest assured, I’ll definitely do well."

Lian Qingyang nodded confidently. Seeing Zhang Hualian, whose eyes were now red, he couldn’t help but step forward and give her a hug. His voice lowered as he said, "Mom, I’ll be back in a few days."
