After An Bing got up, he turned around and looked at Mo Yan angrily, as if he was about to explode.

"Mom, you...you really have to be this ruthless!"

Mo Yan had no desire to talk to the idiot and glanced at An Qi. "Hurry up and come in. Don't talk to the idiot, what if you get infected?"

At the same time, Mo Yan looked at the lawyer and said, "Those who study law should know what they should and shouldn't do."

What if I break the rules and can never practice law again?

Mo Yan was just being kind; it wouldn't be good if someone who's qualified to be a lawyer lost their qualifications due to violations.

After saying that, Mo Yan closed the door.

An Bing looked at the lawyer and said, "You see? This is exactly what my mother is like. It's infuriating! Please help me! Please help me!"

lawyer:"……"

"Please tell me again what exactly happened."

An Bing: "..."

After Anqi came in, she followed Mo Yan back to the room.

"Mom, don't be angry. That's just how my older brother is. Just ignore him."

Mo Yan turned to look at An Qi and said very seriously, "You know what? You're like someone who tries to smooth things over. You'd be better off not saying anything at all."

Angie: "..."

Well, on one side is her mother, and on the other side is her older brother. She can't say that her older brother has a problem.

"No, I didn't. I just think my older brother hasn't been thinking straight lately. Please don't take it to heart."

"Why shouldn't I confront him? I want him to know that I'm not someone he can just do whatever he wants with. Stop worrying about others and worry about yourself. I'm suing him too, and I'll be giving him living expenses every month from now on."

Angie listened without objection; she understood that her mother was doing the right thing.

"Mom, don't worry, I have no objection. I will give you living expenses on time every month from now on. You worked hard to raise me when I was a child, and now it's my turn to take care of you."

We came here to ask if you would like to come and stay with us in the county town.

We bought a new two-story house, so you and Mom can live with us.

Hearing this, Han Wen knew it was his time to shine, so he quickly followed.

“Mom, why don’t you live with us? My mom misses you a lot and wants to be with you so you can keep each other company. You know we’re always busy and don’t have much time at home. My mom said she misses you terribly.”

Mo Yan knew what they both felt, and looked at them as she spoke. "I know how you feel, but I don't want to go. I just want to stay in the village. We're all working together now, and we're very happy. I'm not used to going to the city."

Besides, don't underestimate me just because I'm old. I decide how I want to live my life; I don't need you to make decisions for me.

Mo Yan looked at her daughter in front of her, her gaze serious and earnest.

"Do you know what your biggest problem is right now? You think I'm old and it's time for you to make decisions for me. You subconsciously ask me to do things, thinking that you're doing it for my own good. But no, you just think that's the most convenient way for you."

Just like your older brother, who keeps saying he wants to support his family, but actually he just wants that 80,000 yuan.

You told me I don't have to do anything, I don't have to worry about anything, I just need to take good care of myself, I don't have to work in the fields, I don't have to do anything dangerous, and you will take care of me.

You never thought about what I want, what I want to do, or what I like. Your filial piety is just a more convenient way for you.

Of course, I understand you all. You really want to support me and take care of me, but please understand me too. I have my own things to do.

If one day I can no longer work and I'm bedridden, then each of you should contribute some money to hire a caregiver. You don't need to take care of me yourself; that would be too much trouble. As the saying goes, "No filial piety can last forever at the bedside of a chronically ill patient," which is a reality and a source of helplessness. I will try my best to avoid that.

I'm only saying this once, and I hope you understand, okay?

You can call me selfish and not understand me, but I don't want to understand you, nor do I need you to understand my choices.

"Yes, there's a contradiction, but I hope you understand the meaning."

When it comes to elder care, it often requires discussion and even compromise from one side. The children might think that since you're old, you shouldn't do dangerous things and should just stay at home and be fed.

But what do elderly people want, and what do they want to do?

In situations like these, it's best to let things take their natural course.

Trust the elderly and understand their choices.

Angie was stunned. She hadn't expected her mother to think that way. She wanted to explain, but she couldn't say a word. She realized that she couldn't refute a single one of her mother's words.

Why did we take my mother to the county? I thought it would be more convenient, and both sets of grandparents could be taken care of. I also felt that my mother worked very hard.

Unbeknownst to her, she had overlooked her mother's thoughts.

"Mom, I know. It's all my fault. I didn't consider your feelings. I won't do it again."

Mom, actually, the more you said it directly, the more I understood what you were thinking. Mom, can we express our thoughts directly like this from now on?

In fact, Anqi is a very good daughter. Others might think that Moyan is too meddlesome, doesn't know how to consider her children, and is unwilling to make any sacrifices for the younger generation.

Neither of them is wrong; it's just a matter of perspective. Life is full of helplessness, and often we can't see the helplessness of others.

"Okay." Mo Yan was glad to see that she understood.

Anqi and the others stayed there for one night and then went back. Before going back, Anqi went to see Anguo and told him about her mother's thoughts.

After hearing this, Anguo said he understood. "Second sister, let me put it this way: I don't necessarily want Mom's money. I just think that no one should take it, or we should split it equally."

I know all too well that my mom and I are incompatible; we couldn't possibly live together, and we'd be arguing every couple of days. But I'm definitely willing to pay for living expenses; I just want fairness.

Anqi's lips twitched, and she glared at him. "Come on, stop trying to fool me. I know very well who will argue with Mom, and I understand the meaning behind what was written."

Anqi knew very well that her younger siblings and mother were about to quarrel, and that the younger siblings didn't want her mother to be with them at all, but she couldn't say it outright.

Just like Mom said, each child is a family, and every family has different ideas. If Mom lives alone, then it's good for everyone.

"Hehe," An Guo scratched his head, "I just can't stand An Bing wanting everything. And the way he tries to flatter himself, he wants the benefits, he wants the reputation. Why should he?"

Just because he's the eldest, just because he's Dad's precious darling, humph!

Angie: "..."

So you're just jealous?

"Pah! Why would I be jealous of him? Mom should teach him a lesson and show him who the real mother is!"

Angie: "..." Well, you're not much better.
