Although I did not know what kind of relationship they had between them, it seemed that it was not as simple as I thought.
After a pause, I said, "Let's go eat something together later. It's time for dinner now."
She nodded and rubbed her face. She looked at me with a smile and said, "Thank you!"
I nodded and started the car.
If a person kept something in their heart for a long time, even if we did not ask about it, it would show through their eyes.
I did not ask, but Eugene told me everything. She was mocking herself.
"In the 80s, our country held a program related to fertility. My mother was born in the countryside and was a typical rural woman. She was uneducated. The relatively primitive education made her feel that a woman must give birth to a son. Only then can she be considered a real woman. Therefore, after giving birth to me, she began to give birth continuously so that she would eventually have a son."
Speaking of this, she sighed slightly and felt a little helpless, "She gave birth to seven or eight children, and some were boys. However, it was like all her sons were cursed as they all lived very short lives. After more than ten years, she gave birth to another daughter. That would be Rowane. Because she was a daughter, she did not want her. Fortunately, Rowane was lucky and was adopted. That couple made a fortune from their business. Since they were not able to have a child, they decided to raise her and let her study abroad to learn some skills."
I frowned, "Isn't this a good thing?" A daughter who was disliked was adopted and raised in a rich family. This was an exceptionally lucky thing. How could Rowane have such a deep hatred towards Eugene?
She laughed self-deprecatingly and sighed, "Yes, it was very good. My mother continued to give birth because she wanted a son. After giving birth to Rowane, she gave birth to another daughter, but the child was not as lucky as Rowane. When she was born, my mother put her in the mountains. It was snowing hard that winter, so she froze to death after seven days as no one raised her."
How cruel!
I frowned, and my body trembled subconsciously. Ignorant mothers were really terrible.
Seeing me like this, she pursed her lips and said with self-reproach, "I know it is my mother's fault.
She was ignorant and killed so many children. Based on the law of cause and effect, every effect has a specific and predictable cause. After a few years, my mother finally gave birth to a son and raised him. Her lifelong wish had been granted even though she sacrificed so many children."
"Yes!" I opened my mouth and could not help but sigh, "I pity those innocent children."
She nodded. While counting her fingers, she said, "It would've been great if everything went well. However, every action has consequences. She had sacrificed so many lives. Finally, she had a new son, but she had to bear the consequences. A few years after she gave birth to a son, her health became weak. Later, she found out that my father cheated on her. She was devastated. To force my father to cut off relations with that woman, she took a chemical substance. But because the treatment was given in time, she survived, but her health had been ruined."
She gave birth to so many children, so it was not a surprise that it would affect her body.
She continued, "At the end of last year, my brother was diagnosed with leukemia. My family was not rich. My mother faced a lot of trouble for many years too, and there was little money left in my family. She collected money bit by bit and finally the money was enough. But the doctor said that if he wanted to undergo surgery, they needed his relative's bone marrow to increase the success rate of the surgery."
