The old lady said she would think about it.

Old Man Guan chuckled. "As long as she didn't refuse, her son won't make her think about it."

The old lady glared at the old man and said, "You're just being sarcastic."

Old Man Guan: "How am I being mean? It wasn't me who made her son force her to marry. Without me, she definitely wouldn't have been able to resist her son and daughter-in-law and would have had to marry that paralyzed old man. I guess I'm just helping her out."

"With such good water, have you been eyeing someone for a while now?" the old lady asked irritably.

Old Guan chuckled and said, "Young Liu is a good guy."

old lady……

"Today is a good day, double happiness! Let's have something good to eat!" Old Man Guan was in a great mood, enjoying both love and wealth.

Ms. Liu returned home with mixed feelings and sat on the bed in a daze.

She's been alone for so many years and has never thought about finding a partner, especially now that she's so old.

But what the old lady and the others said was also true.

After thinking it over and over, she still couldn't make a decision. As darkness fell, Sister Liu sighed and got up to cook.

Cao Jun came into the house as soon as the rice was washed.

"Mom, make more, I haven't eaten yet," Cao Jun said, carrying groceries in his hand.

Sister Liu took the vegetables from her son without saying a word.

Cao Jun observed his mother's expression and helped her out from the side.

Seeing that Sister Liu, aside from remaining silent, didn't seem to have any major emotional fluctuations, I cautiously asked...

"Mom, what have you thought about what I told you?"

Sister Liu paused in her vegetable-picking process. "I don't want to look for someone. I've gotten used to being alone all these years. I didn't look for someone when I was young, and now that I'm this old, I'm not looking anymore."

Cao Jun: "Mom, if there isn't a suitable one, I won't advise you to look for one. My father-in-law is really well-off. He has a house, a good pension, and he used to be a leader. Most importantly, it will be more convenient for us to take care of you in the future, saving us the trouble of running back and forth."

Sister Liu smiled, thinking that this was a threat to her about taking care of her in old age. "I can still move around now, and I don't need you. Your father-in-law is so well-off, and he wouldn't even look at an old lady like me. I have nothing to say to him, so please don't force us to be together."

"Mom, how can you say that? You're perfectly fine too," Cao Jun said guiltily. His father-in-law wasn't sick, so he definitely wouldn't approve of his mother.

Sister Liu: "You're my son, so of course you think highly of me, but I know my own limitations, and I'm not trying to climb the social ladder."

Cao Jun choked, "What do you mean by climbing the social ladder? We're getting old, so being together is just companionship, and we can take care of each other."

"Even partners have to find each other pleasing to the eye, so don't bring this up again," Sister Liu said, smiling as she recalled Old Man Guan's appearance. The old man just had a lot of wrinkles on his face, but he wasn't actually that bad-looking.

How could Cao Jun let it go? If his mother didn't go, he had to go. He was used to being around excrement and urine every day.

If her mother marries her father-in-law, then all the family property will definitely belong to him, without any surprises.
