Chapter 527 Independence

Wang Xiuren kept comforting his wife: "Our daughter will leave us eventually, and we have to adapt. Besides, it only takes more than three hours to fly from Pengcheng to the capital. If you miss Shanshan, you can take a plane to see her anytime."

Lin Qiu wiped her tears, knowing that it was time for her daughter to be independent. But for some reason, she couldn't stop crying when she thought of her being all alone in this strange city of the capital.

In my previous life, when my daughter went to Star City to study at university, I was also worried, but I was not as anxious as I am now.

It was the first time that Wang Xiuren knew his wife had so many tears. He pulled her to sit on the flower bed by the roadside, took out a tissue from her bag, and carefully helped her wipe away her tears.

"I feel the same as you do. I don't want Shanshan to be here alone. But is there any way? Shanshan came to college to learn skills, just like a little bird. When she grows up, she has to leave the nest and find food on her own."

Lin Qiu choked up and said, "I know, I know everything, but I just can't bear it."

I can't bear to let my daughter leave my side.

What should she do if she is bullied outside? What should I do if I suffer a loss? What should I do if the food is not to my liking?

Why do people need to grow up?

Why do people separate when they grow up?

Even if he lived his life again, Lin Qiu still couldn't figure out the answer.

Lin Qiu was on the plane with red eyes.

After getting on the plane, Wang Xiuren considerately covered Lin Qiu with a thin blanket, and asked the flight attendant to bring a cup of warm water, which he fed her and let her close her eyes and have a good sleep. Everything would be fine after a good sleep.

Lin Qiu closed her eyes, held her husband's hand, and thanked him for his understanding and tolerance.

When they got home, Wang Xiuren saw that she was in good spirits, so he took her for a walk around the community twice. After she worked up a sweat, he saw that she was in a better mood, so he dragged her home to wash up.

I didn't go out for dinner either.

Wang Xiuren cooked some white porridge, went to the market to buy some roast meat and braised dishes, and he and Lin Qiu had a simple meal.

At night, while Lin Qiu was asleep, Wang Xiuren secretly called his father-in-law and asked him to return to Pengcheng as soon as possible. He had to go to Weizhou in two days and they were urging him to go, but he was really worried about his wife's condition.

When Lin Ting heard this, he knew his daughter was being stubborn. He patted his chest and agreed, "Don't worry, I'm here! Your mother and I will be back tomorrow, and I guarantee that nothing will happen to her."

After hearing this, Wang Xiuren thanked his father-in-law again and again.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ting sighed.

Children are all debts!

Look, he is already 72 years old and still has to worry about his daughter!

The next afternoon, the old couple took the train back to Pengcheng.

Wang Xiuren drove Lin Qiu to the train station to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Zhou Qing was very concerned about his daughter. He held her hand and looked at her carefully. He found that except that she looked a little less energetic, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine in two days." Lin Qiu smiled at his mother.

Although she really can't bear to let her daughter go, she is in her forties after all, and she won't cry just because her daughter goes to college in another city.

I lost control of my emotions that night.

"That's good." Zhou Qing was also relieved.

Lin Ting, on the other hand, just listened without saying anything.

After dinner, Lin Ting pointed to the study and said to Lin Qiu, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with his mother, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he walked into the study first.

Lin Qiu looked at her mother, then at her husband, and followed in confused.

"Sit down." Lin Ting pointed to the chair beside him.

Lin Qiu sat over.

Lin Ting looked carefully at his eldest daughter, who seemed a little uneasy.

Over the years, she has been doing well. Her husband is considerate, her daughter is sensible, and she doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law. She and her mother help with the housework.

The years had hardly left any traces of age on her. Not only did she look like she was in her early thirties, but her mental state had also regressed.

"Do you know why I called you in?" Lin Ting asked.

Lin Qiu nodded, "I guessed a little."

"I heard that you cried like Meng Jiangnu when you sent Shanshan to school?"

Lin Qiu turned his eyes away and said nothing.

"It's not a life-and-death separation, why are you crying? You should be happy! Shanshan got into such a good university, she can receive a better education and meet excellent classmates, it's such a good thing, why are you crying?"

Lin Qiu replied in a low voice: "I can't bear to leave her."

"I also know that you can't bear to leave her, but Qiuqiu, you have to understand that you and she are two independent individuals. You are not just Shanshan's mother, and Shanshan is not just your daughter. You both have your own lives. It doesn't mean that you won't find a job if you leave her." Lin Ting said in a deep voice.

"Your life doesn't just revolve around Shanshan. Just like your mom and I, although we live with you, we still have our own things to do."

"When I have nothing to do, I play chess, go fishing, and climb mountains with my friends. When I go back to my hometown, I visit relatives and friends and wander around everywhere. Your mother also has her own social circle on weekdays. Even though we are both in our seventies, she hasn't forced you four sisters to be by her side, right?" Lin Ting asked.

"No." Lin Qiu answered truthfully.

My father favors me. Apart from helping me take care of the household, he hardly interferes in the affairs of the other three sisters.

Even for Lin Huan's generation, he only fulfilled his responsibility of guiding and supervising them, and would not make any overbearing demands on them.

"I think you're living too well, so you have no time to think about this and that." Lin Ting poked her forehead unhappily.

"Dad!" Lin Qiu rubbed his forehead, "Why are you so strong? It must have been red."

"It's not the point. How can I wake you up!" Lin Ting laughed, "You are already over 40 years old. Why can't you improve yourself? Your mother and I are already in our 70s and 80s, and we still have to worry about you."

"I was wrong." Lin Qiu also felt that he should not let his elderly parents worry about him.

"I'll take care of your business this time, but I won't do that anymore. And starting tomorrow, buying groceries and cooking will be your responsibility. Your mother and I have helped you for so many years, and now it's your turn to serve us."

Now that you are busy, do you still have time to be sentimental? Lin Ting thought.

"Okay, let me serve you." Lin Qiu replied.

Lin Qiu didn't expect that her father was not joking with her. From the next day on, he became a hands-off boss and left all the household affairs to her.

In addition to collecting rent and managing the Internet cafe and convenience store, Lin Qiu is also responsible for buying groceries, cooking, washing clothes, cleaning and all other household chores. He also has to act as the old couple's special car driver. He is busy like a top.

And she also found that her father was now ordering her around in different ways.

She had to eat this today, go there tomorrow, and accompany them to some activities the day after tomorrow, so much so that she couldn't help but call her daughter to complain about her grandparents' recent "evil deeds".

Wang Shan couldn't help laughing when she heard her mother's complaints. Looking at the strong voice on the phone, she finally felt relieved.
