I didn't know how to answer. Deep down, I knew very well whether they were good together or not, but I still spoke up, "My mom has nothing to do with him, they're just fellow villagers."

As soon as I said that, my mom visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was different on Uncle Wang's side.

Upon hearing my words, he suddenly stood up from the ground and cursed, "You mother and daughter are really ungrateful. Who was the one begging me to help you back then? And now, after using me, you want to kick me away?"

I couldn't even lift my head under his scolding.

Because I knew, Uncle Wang was right in scolding me.

But aren't people selfish? At this moment, all I could do was choose to remain silent.

At that moment, my mom suddenly started crying.

Her sobbing grew louder, causing Chen Guoxing to console her repeatedly.

Chen Guoxing looked at Uncle Wang and said, "Considering the many years you've worked in my house, I will have the steward give you three months' salary, you can leave."

That night on the way back, I questioned my mom why she did this, why she was destroying someone else's family.

Facing my question, my mom smiled.

She looked at me and said, "Yuyu, do you know, back then, Chen Xinxin's mom also became the third party, forcing the original wife to death before achieving today's glory and wealth. I haven't killed her yet, compared to her, I'm much better as a person."

It was the first time I heard about this.

I always thought the age difference between Chen Xinxin's mom and Chen Guoxing was normal.

But I never expected it to be like this.

I was momentarily speechless.

My mom looked at me as I lowered my head, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yuyu, today you helped Mom too, Mom has to thank you."

I raised my head, met my mom's dim and unclear eyes, and suddenly felt guilty.

Yes, didn't I just lie earlier?

Why do people suddenly change?
