Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 194: Confused Mind

"Hubby, don't stand there, help me hang the clothes."

As if she noticed that Zhao Dezhu was looking at her, Zhou Congfang turned around and said with a smile.

"it is good."

Zhao Dezhu stepped forward and helped to hang up the clothes.

Zhou Congfang didn't seem to notice that the clothes hanging out to dry were only hers and her mother's, and there was not a single piece of her father's clothes.

"I don't know why, but I felt like I slept for a long time, and a lot of things seemed to have happened in my dream..."

"Really? I guess you didn't get enough rest." Zhao Dezhu said with a smile.

"In my dream, you and I divorced, and I brought Zhou Zhou back to Ruijin alone. I thought he could become like you in the future, but...but I pushed him too hard, and Zhou Zhou couldn't stand it anymore, so he chose to commit suicide. Don't you think it's funny..."

Zhou Congfang said it was funny, but her voice was choked with sobs.

When Zhao Dezhu heard this, he felt his throat dry. Facing Zhou Congfang's resentful gaze, he tried hard to utter a few words.

"It's all a dream, don't take it seriously."

His voice was so soft that only he could hear it.

But Zhou Congfang seemed to have heard it, and smiled and said, "That brat must hate me to death..."

But before she could finish her words, her son Zhao Ruijin's voice suddenly came from the living room.

"Mom, have you hung up the clothes? I'm hungry."

His voice trembled slightly, but he tried to keep himself calm.

He couldn't wait to see his mother and grandmother and didn't want to wait even a moment.

Zhao Dezhu clearly noticed that when Zhou Congfang heard her son's voice, her voice trembled and her face turned pale. Then she seemed to react and looked happy. She put down the clothes in her hands and rushed to the living room.

But someone was quicker than her. The grandmother was in the kitchen, wanting to bring out the breakfast she had prepared for her daughter.

When she heard Zhao Ruijin's voice, she immediately turned around and ran out of the kitchen.

That movement didn't seem like that of an old man at all.

When she saw Zhao Ruijin standing in the living room, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

The grandmother felt as if she had been infected by her daughter and had also become mentally ill, and she actually saw her eldest grandson.

"grandmother."

Zhao Ruijin walked forward and held his grandmother's hand.

"Xiaobao, are you here to see grandma?"

Grandma looked at Zhao Ruijin's hand and smiled. This disease is good, it feels like the real thing.

No wonder my daughter’s mental illness has never been cured. If I had known this, she should have been diagnosed with this disease a long time ago.

"Grandma, hehe~"

Zhao Ruijin opened his arms and hugged his grandmother.

Grandma was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted Zhao Ruijin gently on the back.

"You're already a grown man, taller than me, your grandma. You must be fine. Don't be depressed. Everything will pass... Everything will pass..."

Grandma whispered in Zhao Ruijin's ear that she could no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy, but did it still matter?
Zhou Congfang rushed into the living room and really saw her son. She froze in place, staring at him.

It wasn't until the other person walked up to her and called her "Mom" that she came to her senses.

Zhou Congfang reached out and stroked her son's cheek, and asked with a slightly angry look, "Where have you been?"

Zhao Ruijin was stunned when he heard this and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, Zhou Congfang said, "Are you going to play ball with your classmates? Didn't your mother tell you not to associate with those classmates? They are not good students."

Zhao Ruijin came back to his senses after hearing this and said with a smile, "Mom, I know."

"Be obedient." Zhou Congfang was happy to hear that.

"What do you want for dinner? I'll make it for you?" Zhou Congfang said.

Zhao Ruijin nodded and looked past her at Zhao Dezhu behind her.

Zhao Dezhu shook his head, saying that he didn't know Zhou Congfang's condition at the moment. At this time, Zhou Congfang looked at her grandmother and said happily, "Mom, has Zhou Zhou grown up a lot?"

Grandma nodded with a complicated expression.

Zhou Congfang immediately said happily: "He is very sensible and obedient now..."

But grandma didn't answer, but turned and went to the kitchen.

"Have breakfast. You haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon."

"But I'm not hungry at all." She was a little confused.

Then he took Zhao Ruijin's hand and said happily, "By the way, Zhou Zhou, how did you do on the last test? Tell your dad quickly."

"what?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused? Didn't you get full marks in several subjects?"

Zhou Congfang turned around, looked at Zhao Dezhu and said, "Your son is as smart as you. He did very well in the last exam, ranking third in the grade. Didn't he want to change his racket last time? Buy him one when you have time."

"Oh, okay." Zhao Dezhu responded quickly.

Zhou Congfang turned around, took Zhao Ruijin's hand, and walked towards the sofa.

"Don't just think about playing, study hard, don't let your father look down on you, and fight for your mother's honor..."

"I don't know if your father is free this Sunday. If he is, let's go on a picnic together..."

"By the way, the girl you followed after school today was very cute. Does she like you?"

"Your father is a very good person. I am divorcing your father, and that is our adult business. You should not hate him..."

……

Zhao Ruijin turned around and looked at Zhao Dezhu again.

By this time they had realized that Zhou Congfang's mind was completely confused.

Some things happened before the divorce, and some happened after the divorce. She mixed up everything.

After sitting down on the sofa, Zhou Congfang said a lot.

Sometimes she was happy, sometimes she was angry, and sometimes she acted like a spoiled child and asked Zhao Dezhu for his pampering.

Grandma brought out breakfast and just stood by the table, staring blankly at her daughter's illness.

At this moment, she had already vaguely understood that this was probably not a dream, nor was there something wrong with her mind. She just didn't understand what was going on for a while.

At this moment, Zhou Congfang, who had been smiling, suddenly burst into tears. While crying, she held Zhao Ruijin's hand tightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you. Don't blame me..."

"Mom, I don't blame you..." Zhao Ruijin said with a slight sob.

"I'm sorry, it's all mom's fault. I was wrong. Please forgive me, please..." Zhou Congfang kept begging.

"Mom..." Zhao Ruijin looked at Zhao Dezhu helplessly, asking for help.

"Okay, my son has already said that he forgives you and doesn't blame you anymore. Don't cry for now." Zhao Dezhu put his arm around her shoulders and said.

Zhou Congfang was startled when someone hugged her. She turned around and saw Zhao Dezhu, and immediately showed a look of panic.

"Old... Zhao Dezhu, it's not my fault. I didn't force him on purpose. I just wanted to... I just wanted to... wow..."

Zhou Congfang burst into tears.

"I'm doing this for his own good, please don't blame me... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault, please don't blame me, please don't blame me..."

She said then raised her hands and started beating herself wildly.

Zhao Dezhu hurriedly grabbed her hand, but found that despite her thin body, she was incredibly strong.

"Mom, don't be like this. I don't blame you. You have to be fine..."

Zhao Ruijin cried and tried to calm her mother.

Only grandma stood there staring blankly, as if she had not yet come to her senses.
