She was willing to give up everything as long as Shoujian was willing to be with her.

"Really? Let me tell you, my mom is very picky. If you don't choose a good place, she won't agree to me being with you."

Liang Zhongmei: "???"

Liang Zhongmei was a little confused and blurted out, "You have a mother?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Shoujian's face turned extremely ugly. Liang Zhongmei then realized her mistake and quickly covered her mouth, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I haven't heard you mention this before, and you didn't say your mother was going to live with us, so..."

Yes, Liang Zhongmei was blinded by love and didn't even know anything about Lü Shoujian's family situation before she closed her eyes without hesitation.

She felt that she loved Lü Shoujian's talent, his temperament, and everything about him.

I love his free-spiritedness and his poetry.

Or perhaps, the one she loved was the Lü Shoujian of her imagination. She projected all the beautiful image of the poet from the book onto Lü Shoujian, adding layer upon layer of filters to him.

She felt that poets should be unrestrained and free-spirited.

She felt that painters should be free and unrestrained.

She felt that talented people should be like Lü Shoujian.

“My mom definitely doesn’t agree to me staying at your house. She said she’d only stay occasionally or something, but what are you thinking? Besides, seeing your family’s attitude, I haven’t decided whether I want to be with you or not.”

You know, many people like painters like me, but you... it's not certain whether you'll have a chance.

Liang Zhongmei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down. Please give me another chance, okay?"

Seeing Liang Zhongmei's ingratiating expression, he reluctantly agreed. "Then you'd better handle this matter well. I'll take you back to meet my mother in a couple of days."

For her, meeting the parents meant that Shoujian accepted her. "Okay, there was no food earlier, so let's go eat now, at a restaurant, okay?"

After hearing this, Lü Shoujian walked ahead unhappily. "Let's go eat." He wasn't going to pay anyway.

At this moment, Mo Yan and the others are eating at home. Mo Yan has told them not to leave any food for Liang Zhongzhong, and she also glares at Liang Zhongzhi with hatred every now and then.

Liang Zhongzhi quickly finished eating and only spoke after he was full. "Mom, I absolutely disagree with my sister being with that person. Look at his arrogant attitude, he doesn't respect our family at all, and he even wants to change our house. What right does he have!"

Mo Yan laughed upon hearing this, "I noticed that when I'm not working, and when I feel my own interests are being threatened, you're the first one to jump out, right?"

Liang Zhongzhi: "..."

If you were to say that Liang Zhongzhi truly cared for Liang Zhongmei, perhaps he did. He was genuinely good to this younger sister and was willing to give her anything.

"No way! I just feel sorry for my sister. She's such a beautiful girl, how could she marry such a person? He has no respect for you at all, and he completely ignores us."

To put it bluntly, Liang Zhongzhi felt that Lü Shoujian was arrogant and didn't respect his family.

"Don't worry, I definitely don't agree to this marriage. As for you, you'd better find a place to stay as soon as possible. You can get out of here after the exam."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yilan quickly said, "Mom, I've asked about apartments nearby, and they're not expensive. We can rent one then..."

Mo Yan looked at Yin Yilan. This Lanzi is really sensible and capable. In just one day, she has already inquired about house prices.

"I'm talking about him, not you or Xiaoxing."

Liang Zhongzhi: "???"

Yin Yilan: "???"

"Mom, I don't understand. Dazhi and I are a couple. If we're going to move out, we should all be together."

I also told Dazhi that we can't keep troubling Mom; he's married now and should be able to support himself.

Mo Yan looked at Liang Zhongzhi with disdain. "See? Your wife is right. Seeing how hopeless you are, I think if you continue to be with Lanzi, you'll only be a burden to her. So after your exams, you'll get out and find somewhere to live."

Liang Zhongzhi: "..."

Liang Zhongzhi felt extremely wronged. He just couldn't understand why his mother had to treat him like this.

"Mom, why are you doing this to me? Why can't I stay at home?"

"You can stay at home, where I can beat and discipline you every day. It's your choice. You'll have to pay Lanzi money every month, or I'll take care of you."

Liang Zhongzhi: "..."

Finally, Yin Yilan came up with a solution.

"Mom, how about this? I'll have him pay your rent with his own money, is that okay?"

Mo Yan: "..."

"Liang Zhongzhi, you clear the dishes. Lanzi, come with me."

Mo Yan led Yin Yilan into the room, closed the door, and now only the two of them were left in the room.

"Lanzi, I was thinking about having a good talk with you a couple of days ago, but I felt that we weren't very familiar with each other at that time, and I was afraid you would overthink it."

Yin Yilan looked at her mother-in-law with some confusion and said with a smile, "Mom, we're all family, what's there to be embarrassed about? Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll do what I can."

“Then I’ll tell you the truth. I think Liang Zhongzhi is a scoundrel. From beginning to end, he never intended to bring you and your daughter here. Even if you came, he probably would have denied it and hoped I would send you back.”

Yin Yilan's smile became more genuine this time. She could tell that her mother had been hesitant for the past two days.

"Mom, I know you really care about me and Xiaoxing. From the first day I came into our family, you never treated us like outsiders. I also want to say something from the bottom of my heart to you."

Yin Yilan walked over to Mo Yan and squatted down, looking at her mother-in-law seriously. "I know, Dazhi thinks I'm not good enough for him. When we were in the village, our family was quite happy. But after we came back, I could see the look in his eyes clearly. But now that I've married him, I won't regret it. I've decided on him for the rest of my life."

Mom, I don't have high requirements for men. As long as he stays at home and doesn't go out and mess around, that's enough.

Mo Yan: "..."

"Your standards are really low..."

Yin Yilan hugged Mo Yan's arm and said, "Mom, I'm already so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law like you. I don't ask for anything else. Besides, I believe Dazhi can get into university. He's just immature now, but he'll be fine in the future."

There are no divorces in their village. If someone gets divorced, it means that the woman is incompetent. She wants to be with Dazhi and will never regret it. A man is good if he is obedient, but if he is disobedient, he is just a decoration. You can't rely on a man; that would be useless.
