After a while, he said, "Remember to send money home. Why haven't you sent any money home in the past few months?"
"Oh, I moved to a new house. The rent has increased a lot. By the way, I've been taking leave all the time. How can I get the salary?"
My dad felt guilty and said, "Isn't that your mom being pregnant?"
Before I could say anything, I heard my mom shouting at my dad on the other end of the phone.
My dad cursed in a low voice, "Fuck off. What a nagging woman!"
"For God's sake!"
Then the phone was hung up.
I raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that there would be something interesting in the future.
My mom had always been a stickler.
In my previous life, when I went back to take care of her, I was exhausted and lost a lot of weight due to her constant fuss.
There was no escape.
Whenever she was in discomfort, she shouted and cried with grievances.
When someone came to see her, she spoke vaguely about all her faults, seemed like I abused her.
Everyone looked at me with strange eyes.
When my aunt left, she held my hand and said earnestly, "Rachel, your mother just lost her baby. You must not mistreat her. Your mom only has you. If you don't treat her well, how can she live in the future?"
