"Cough cough cough..."
"Mom, you're back?"
"Mom, why didn't you turn on the range hood while cooking?"
Wu De walked to the side, complaining as he opened the window to let the smoke out.
"Isn't turning on the range hood a waste of electricity?"
My mother-in-law pretended to wipe her eyes, her face showing a mix of sadness and joy, and quickly said to me, "Mom is so heartbroken! Why did you have to get this illness?"
My mother-in-law kept glancing at me.
Wu De complained, "Mom, when you cook in the future, remember to turn on the range hood. Don't worry about wasting electricity."
"Mom just thought that before Cao'er leaves, she should enjoy a bit," she replied.
My head buzzed.
So they didn't want me to get better; they just wanted me to die sooner.
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the conversation I had overheard between Wu De and the Mistress. He said he wasn't getting a year-end bonus this year; he was lying to me. He m De a hundred thousand this year.
With that thought, I suddenly had a bold idea.
I've worked so hard and never enjoyed any good days. Why not enjoy myself for once?
At the dinner table, my mother-in-law wore a big smile as she served food into my bowl.
"Cao'er, eat more."
I looked at the food in my bowl; it was all spicy peppers. I love spicy food, but usually my mother-in-law never lets me buy peppers just to annoy me.
I couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why did you make so many spicy dishes today?"
My mother-in-law exchanged glances with Wu De and stammered, "Mom just thought that before you leave, you should eat something you love."
Ha.
I really want to laugh out of anger.
They really put in a lot of effort.
"Mom, thank you for being so good to me all these years."
I took out a bottle of red wine and filled their glasses, saying, "Today, we won't stop until we're drunk."
My mother-in-law looked a bit wary: "Cao'er, you..."
I sighed, "Mom, I don't have much time left. I'm really grateful for everything you've done for me, allowing me to enjoy my last days like this."
Hearing this, my mother-in-law's face lit up with joy: "I knew it; you're a good child."
Wu De also praised me: "That's right, Mom. Our family should always be harmonious."
After a few rounds of drinks, my mother-in-law's face was as red as a monkey's bottom.
She started coughing incessantly.
I knew this was due to her liver condition.
To keep up the act, I started coughing too, even more dramatically than she did.
Wu De quickly poured water for my mother-in-law and gently patted her back.
I secretly pinched the inside of my thigh, and tears immediately streamed down my face.
Seeing me cry, my mother-in-law thought it was the effect of the red wine and happily said, " De, pour another glass for Cao'er so she can enjoy herself."
I sneered inwardly.
Enjoy?
Of course, I would enjoy it.
My mother-in-law started coughing again.
I pretended to cough as well, even exaggerating to the point where tears fell down.
Wu De hurriedly poured another glass of water for my mother-in-law.
I hid in the bathroom, trying to induce vomiting by gagging. After failing a few times, I locked the bathroom door to keep Wu De out.
"What's wrong, Cao'er?"
"Ugh... ugh..." I pretended to make vomiting sounds.
Wu De sounded a bit anxious: "Should I give you a pat on the back?"
"No... ugh... no need..." I said with a choked voice, "Please don't come in; I don't want to leave you with a bad impression."
Wu De stood outside, looking pleased: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
I came out of the bathroom, tears in my eyes as I looked at them: "Thank you for taking care of me."
I raised my glass and toasted my grandmother: "Mom, this is for you."
My grandmother grimaced but clinked glasses with me and drank it all down.
After two glasses of red wine, my grandmother started to feel tipsy. She wiped her mouth and said: "Cao'er, you mustn't listen to what the doctor says about early-stage Liver Cancer and needing surgery. That would cost hundreds of thousands!"
"What do you mean, Mom..."
She looked at me and smiled: "If it were me, I wouldn't treat it either."
I feigned confusion: "Mom, what are you saying?"
"If it were you, would you not treat it?"
Wu De suddenly stood up, about to speak when my grandmother stopped him.
She waved her hand, signaling Wu De to sit down: "Oh, De, don't get angry. If it were me, I wouldn't go for treatment either."
"Don't blame Cao'er; anyone would feel hopeless in such a situation."
