There is a saying called adding salt to the wound, which fully describes how painful it is.

Meng Tan specially made the salt water warm before starting to wash the wound. Even so, when bits and pieces of salt water washed over the exposed parts, Cui Ping still struggled violently.

This was instinctive. Cui Ping didn't even open his eyes. He sat up, his whole body struggled and twitched, his clean facial features twisted together, and he let out a painful groan.

Chen Changyun pressed him down again.

Meng Tan pinched her fingertips and stopped looking at Cui Ping's reaction. She just said:
[You both press tight. ]
The whole pain and struggle made the three of them suffer until midnight. The three of them were like being fished out of the water. Chen Changan and Chen Changyun relieved themselves and sat on the edge of the bed, panting lightly.

Meng Tan pinched her already numb fingertips, and then started to take off Cui Ping's clothes.

Seeing this, Chen Changyun jumped up and pushed Meng Tan's hand away, "Mom, I'll do it!"

Chen Changan's eyes were even darker, "Mother..."

[I want to bandage his wounds, but you can’t either. ]
Meng Tan's eyes were calm, which made Chen Chang'an and Chen Changyun wonder for a moment whether he had a dirty mind.

"Well, let me take off Master Cui's clothes. You are a woman, Master Cui is a man."

Chen Changyun clenched his fists, feeling a little stubborn inside.

Chen Changan said nothing and only looked at Meng Tan.

Meng Tan looked away, carrying the bench and sitting at the door. She didn't know if the two children in the room were relieved, but not the one at the door.

Chen Changsheng stood at the door holding the medicine bowl, his eyes were a little red, and he looked at her with a trace of resentment.

This kid must have heard what happened just now. Look at his aggrieved look.

Meng Tan stretched out her hand and took the medicine bowl. It was still very hot, so she blew on it.

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but said, "Mom, you and Master Cui..."

[We have nothing to do with each other. I'm just saving people. Besides, what does it matter if we have a relationship? He is a widower and I am a widow. Isn't it illegal to have an affair? ]

"But, but you have us, you are not one of those widows who have no one to rely on. You don't have to force yourself to cling to anyone..."

"I, don't take what I said to you and Mr. Cui seriously. It was all because of my confusion. Besides, eldest brother said, the Cui family must be a rich family, and you will be wronged..."

Chen Changsheng was full of grievances. After his elder brother's advice, he felt that he could support his mother for the rest of his life, but he could not accept that he had a new 'father'.

It felt as if I had betrayed my biological father.

Meng Tan sneered.

The three brothers inside and outside the house pricked up their ears.

My mother is angry.

[Whether I can find a man or not is none of your business. My surname is not Chen, my surname is Meng. I’m only in my thirties. I might live to be in my fifties, sixties, or seventies. Is this long life worth it? Is it a serious life to have to rely on you? ]

[A man can remarry after his wife dies, but why can’t I? I don’t want to worry about your marriage, my grandson’s studies, and my granddaughter’s wedding all day long at home. Don’t I have nothing else to do? ]
[Cui Ping is my good friend. As your mother, don’t I even have the qualifications to make a second or third best friend? ]

[In other words, you think that mother is your private property, your property, your slave. You can only do it if you think it is okay, but not if I think it is okay? ]

Feeling that the medicine in her hand was getting warmer, Meng Tan stood up and looked down at Chen Changsheng, as well as Chen Changan and Chen Changyun who appeared beside her at some unknown time.

[If you are dissatisfied with these things about me, you can declare to the outside world that your mother is dead and that I am possessed by a demon. It is better than me living as Chen Mengshi and living as your mother! ]
After saying that, Meng Tan snorted and entered the room with the medicine bowl.

Chen Changsheng muttered, thinking that it was wrong. It had been like this for thousands of years.

Mom obviously has a son, and they obviously don’t stop her from doing those ridiculous things, and they don’t tell her who they must cling to to help them, but why does she still want to be close to other men...

Chen Changyun scratched his head. He felt that his mother was right, but he also felt that his mother was wrong. So, the two brothers looked at the eldest brother, hoping that the eldest brother could persuade their mother.

Chen Changan smacked his lips at Meng Tan's words and finally came up with some meanings that went against human ethics.

My mother looks down upon those who obey their husbands when they are married and their sons after their husbands die.

I don’t even want to be a good wife and mother.

Mom wants to be a man.

Mother had revealed these meanings to him earlier.

"Mother does not need our consent to do things. Mother's world is outside..."

"But brother, you said that Mr. Cui will not accept my mother..." Chen Changsheng said hurriedly.

"Yes, it's not as good as that young one from Mother..." Chen Changyun muttered, and was glared at by his eldest brother, but he didn't agree in his heart. He figured it out, if Mother had to think about it, he couldn't stop her, but Mother was still Mother, and It's not that he doesn't want him anymore, he naturally wants his mother more freely, so why should he look for Mr. Cui who is old and may not be good to him.

It's better to find a young man. After a few years, Mom might get tired of it. Mom is now very knowledgeable.

Chen Changan hated the irony and looked at the two of them, so he decided to be more direct and said, "Mom, I want to be a man and build a career. I don't want to be a woman anymore."

The two brothers were stunned.

Chen Changyun was even more curious, "Isn't she looking for many men?"

How many fathers does he have?
Suddenly I felt a little pitiful for Mr. Cui.

Chen Changsheng was too shocked to speak.

Chen Changan laughed, glanced into the room, and sighed again, "No, mother... maybe it's fate. Mother is very capable, so she must have figured something out."

What he was more worried about was that what his mother had found was not a husband, and he was afraid that Mr. Cui would take advantage of his mother.

He is very open-minded about the matter of finding his mother again. If you are used to reading historical anthologies, you will know that many famous women in history have remarried.

For example, the Empress Dowager of this dynasty was a widow when she married Taizu. She also had a son, who is now King Dingbei and has been guarding the north of Da Chu.

Chen Changan thought about what his mother said to him back then, and now he mentioned it again. Apparently, his mother had really been hanging around down there for more than twenty years. His thoughts were really different.

In the back room, Meng Tan didn't care what the three brothers thought. She first covered Cui Ping's wound with clean clothes, and then she started to have a headache. How to pour the medicine into Cui Ping.

There's no such thing as lip-to-mouth in idol dramas. Cui Ping has been drifting for a few days and her whole body stinks, which she despises.

Finally, Meng Tan helped the person up, held Cui Ping's chin, and poured the medicine in one bite at a time.

Then he put the person on the bed and sat aside, feeling a burst of pain.

Meng Tan looked down and almost cursed.

This life was really bad. The wounds on her waist were cracked and the blood was soaked out.

[Do you have any more medicine? Give me a bowl. ]
Meng Tan appeared at the door, almost bumping into the three silent people at the door, and her mouth twitched.

[Why, are you expecting me to die? ]

"No...Mom, your injury!" Chen Changyun smelled the smell of blood on the tip of his nose, touched Meng Tan's waist, and when he smelled it back, his expression changed.

Immediately, he didn't care about anything, took the bowl in Meng Tan's hand and quickly ran back to the kitchen.
