Yin Yilan had been busy with her mother-in-law's funeral arrangements. Looking at her mother-in-law's funny photos, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

My mother-in-law said she couldn't have black and white photos. Black and white photos would seem to tell everyone that she's gone, which would be really scary. She wanted funny, color photos so that people could still remember how good she was.

She wiped the photos over and over again; she truly loved her mother-in-law.

This is the person who gave her all her love, treated her like his own daughter, and taught her how to face life.

When I first arrived in this place, I was actually quite uneasy, and there was a lot of uncertainty about the future.

She brought with her all her possessions, her child, and her money. She had considered countless possibilities and knew that she might not be accepted by Liang Zhongzhi's family. She even thought about taking her child back with her when that time came.

With just a few words, Mom believed it.

He took them back, acknowledged their identities, and made Dazhi register Xiaoxing's household registration. Later, he affirmed her abilities and lent her start-up capital.

Her mother treated her like her own daughter, taking good care of Xiaoxing, helping her solve her initial investment problem, teaching her how to make delicious tea eggs, and even teaching her how to make boxed lunches.

Some people say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but that's not true. For her and her mother, they are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but mother and daughter.

Because of Mom, my anxiety subsided on the very first day I arrived here. I felt neither afraid nor confused.

Because of Mom, she knew how to deal with Dazhi, and their relationship had always been very good.

Because of her mother, Xing Xiaoxing found her dream and became firm in her choice.

They were able to buy a house so quickly and open a shop later because their mother supported them.

Now, watching her mother leave, Lanzi is in great pain; this was the person who gave her motherly love.

This is the person who said, "From now on, I'll be your mother. Tell me if you have any grievances."

This is the person who said, "If you do something wrong, I will punish you without hesitation, because you are my daughter."

Hearing Yin Yilan's cries, Dazhi stood outside at a loss, and he wanted to cry too.

He knew that without his mother and Lanzi, he wouldn't be where he is today. Back then, he talked about studying, but it was really just a way to avoid housework and want to play for a while longer.

"Lanzi, there are some things I've never told you. I was shameless back then. I was a scumbag. I thought about disowning you, but I was afraid of being laughed at."

Mom's right, I'm just not good enough for you.

At that time, he really thought about not acknowledging them and about having a bright future.

Yin Yilan opened the door and looked at his face. "I already knew, but I don't ask much of you. Just be obedient, and if you don't..."

Yin Yilan looked at the two feather dusters that were already bald not far away and slowly said, "I don't mind if you use two feather dusters together."

Dazhi: "..."

Dazhi glanced back, a chill running down his spine. "Don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you. I'm a model husband, how could I not listen?"

"Mom said she will always be watching over you."

Liang Zhongzhi: "???"

Liang Zhongzhi quickly turned around, ran to the photo outside, and knelt down with a thud. "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be a good husband and a good father in the future. I will never do anything to betray the family or my daughter. Please rest assured. Don't watch me from behind, I'm scared."

He silently said to himself, "Mom, I love you and respect you very much, but you know your son is a coward and afraid of ghosts, so please stop staring at me like that."

Yin Yilan: "..."

Xiao Xing, who had just come out of the restroom with red eyes, thought: "???"

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you having a seizure?"

Xiao Xing was very sad, so sad that she didn't want to eat or sleep.

She wanted to cry, but couldn't.

When she was little, her mother would leave her at home when she had to go out to set up a stall. Her grandmother would play with her, tutor her, teach her to cook and do laundry, and also teach her some basic first aid.

Grandma said, "It's okay to learn a lot. It's even better if you don't use what you've learned, but you must learn something."

Whenever she felt lost and didn't know what to do, her grandmother would stay by her side and let her figure out what to do on her own.

When she first arrived here, she was a little girl who knew nothing. It was her grandmother who helped her adapt to the place and the learning pace. It was also her grandmother who accompanied her throughout her childhood.

She wanted to stay with her grandmother forever, but her grandmother passed away.

From then on, no one would wait for her to come home for dinner anymore.

No one will hug her and call her "darling" anymore.

Grandma, I really love you so much, so much...

I will be obedient and live my life earnestly.

I will always stick to my dreams, I will live a good life, and I won't let you worry.

...

Liang Zhongmei dared not go home. For the past few years, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she had only gone to her eldest brother's house and dared not appear in front of her mother.

She was always afraid of seeing the disappointment in her mother's eyes.

In the past, Mom did a lot for her, secretly giving her pocket money and cooking her favorite dishes.

Later, for some reason, she started to feel that those were things her mother should do, and that it was only natural.

She fell in love with someone she shouldn't have and severed ties with her mother.

She didn't know what was wrong with her back then, why she felt that a man who treated her so badly was more important than her mother.

She said so many hurtful things to her mother, and she did so many hurtful things to her mother. In the end, when she had her accident, her mother kept saying she didn't care, but she still arranged everything properly.

She said the most heartless words, yet did the most tender things.

On the day Mo Yan had her accident, Liang Zhongmei held her husband's hand and asked him, "What will we do if something happens to my mother?"

She rushed to the hospital, but it was too late; she never got to see her mother one last time.

She thought, "This is for the best. Mom probably doesn't want to see me, right?"

Liang Zhongmei knew one thing very well: if her mother hadn't kicked her out back then, she wouldn't have come to her senses.

If it weren't for the hurt she had experienced, she wouldn't have believed that Lü Shoujian was a scoundrel.

She's a stubborn, inflexible person who always believes what she believes and never trusts her friends or family. She's really not a good person.

If it weren't for those hurts, she might have remained a hopeless romantic forever.

If she hadn't been kicked out and hadn't had to live on her own, she would never have known how hard life was, nor would she have been able to start over and have the life she has now.

She stood at the doorway, looking inside.

She said to her husband beside her, "I no longer have a mother."

Even though we used to argue and even though my mom kicked me out, I knew deep down that I still had a mother. But now I don't. My safe haven has vanished, and my confidence has disappeared.

I am really sad and heartbroken.

So, it turns out, I really did love her.

Mom, I only realized you were doing it for my own good when you kicked me out.

I only realized I loved you after you died.
