Mother Lu's tears fell as she grew sadder and angrier, continuing to question him.
"When I married you, you were just a team leader."
"Besides my own abilities, my family has also helped you quite a bit."
"And I accompanied you to the Northwest, enduring hardships as well."
"Are you saying that their suffering back home counts, but the years my son and I spent with you in the Northwest do not?"
"We endured poor living conditions, and given my family background, I didn't even need to accompany you, but I still chose to, bringing our son who almost died because he couldn't acclimate."
"The hardships they endured, you firmly remember, but the hardships we suffered, you easily forget."
"I stood by you from the hard beginnings to the sweet end, and what I got in return was to tolerate everything, while others could easily pick the ripe fruits."
"All this shows that, in your heart, they are the ones who are most important and truly your family."
