Chapter 456: The three sisters are all outstanding in their respective fields, but they all remain unmarried throughout their lives
A few years later, Luo Xinxin became a grandmother. Ermao and Yan Ruyu gave birth to twin grandsons for her. The couple were very busy with work, so the two children were taken care of by the adults from both families in turn.
Yan Ruyu's parents are both retired and they volunteered to take care of their grandchildren. There is also Zhi Honglan, who has always stayed in the Luo family and has never married. After Damao and Ermao grew up, she felt embarrassed to stay there anymore, so she found Luo Xinxin to say goodbye.
Of course Luo Xinxin did not agree, saying that the family could not do without her, and neither Da Mao nor Er Mao could do without her. Although Zhi Honglan was only asked to help take care of the children at that time, they had been together for more than ten years and had already become a family.
It was impossible for Zhi Honglan to go back to her parents' home. If she left the Luo family, she would be alone. Moreover, because of her honest nature, Luo Xinxin was worried that she would be bullied if she went out, so she forced her to stay.
After Damao and Ermao knew about it, they also found Zhi Honglan and asked her to stay, promising to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life. Zhi Honglan was so moved that she burst into tears. From then on, she stayed in the Luo family wholeheartedly.
Although Zhi Honglan is old, she is in good health. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't work, so she has been taking care of the Luo family's daily life over the years. Sometimes she accompanies old lady Luo to go shopping and listen to operas, and chats with Mrs. Liu next door and makes delicious food. Her life is simple and fulfilling.
Li Guimei is now the financial manager of the winery. The winery has established a branch in Shanghai. Xiang Ermei is the vice president of the winery. They both come to Shanghai several times a year.
Every time I come here, I will go to Luo's house and chat with Luo Xinxin and Zhi Honglan.
Peng Shuangcheng retired. Although he was still narrow-minded, his temper had become much milder. He even wanted to find Xiang Ermei's three daughters to ease the relationship, but the three sisters Peng Chunlan were unwilling.
The hurt they suffered in their childhood was deeply engraved in their minds. Only after leaving their father did they experience true happiness. They have some feelings for Peng Shuangcheng and others, but not much.
If Peng Shuangcheng could not take care of himself, they would take care of him, but now Peng Shuangcheng is still alive and well, so they are too lazy to take care of him.
Xiang Ermei respects her daughter's opinions. If she wants to listen to them, she will listen to them. If she doesn't want to listen to them, she won't force them.
Peng Shuangcheng felt upset and complained to Li Guimei, but was ridiculed.
"You treated Chunlan and the others so badly when they were little that they starved themselves to death and developed meningitis. Now you want to reconcile and expect them to be filial to you? Peng Shuangcheng, you're really dreaming!"
Li Guimei now speaks much more assertively than before. Peng Shuangcheng can't stand it, so she just says "divorce" to him. Whether he loves her or not, she won't serve him anyway.
How could Peng Shuangcheng dare to divorce? After divorcing Xiang Ermei, his three daughters ignored him. If he divorced Li Guimei, his two daughters would definitely not pay attention to him either. He would be a real lonely man in the future, and no one would care about him even if he died of illness in the house.
Some time ago, he read in the newspaper that an elderly widower in Shanghai died at home and was not discovered until two years later. His body had turned into a skeleton. When he thought that he might suffer the same fate in the future, Peng Shuangcheng was scared to death. He became even nicer to Li Guimei and his daughter, fearing that they would abandon him.
Li Guimei was actually just trying to scare him. She was already old, and although she didn't like this man, they had been together for decades and there was still some affection between them. Moreover, Peng Shuangcheng had changed a lot now, probably because he was too old to do anything. Anyway, life was just like this, and it would be a mess no matter who she lived with.
Their two daughters, Peng Yuanyuan and Peng Anan, have been in excellent health and strong since childhood. Peng Yuanyuan joined the army at the age of 18 and participated in the South Vietnam War. She performed very well and now holds a higher position than her father.
My younger sister Peng Anan is a fighter pilot and is also very good.
Li Guimei often said to Peng Shuangcheng, "You keep saying you want a son, but my daughter is just as good as a son. There are so many sons in your village, but who is better than my daughter?"
Peng Shuangcheng didn't dare to say a word, but he was very proud in his heart. Such an outstanding daughter was born to him, which showed that his Peng family had good bloodline!
Xiang Ermei's three daughters are also very outstanding. Peng Chunlan studied at a medical university and is now a very good doctor working in a top hospital in Shanghai. She also became a disciple of Luo Weian. Not only did she learn it herself, she also taught Chinese medicine in school to carry forward the Luo family's medical skills.
Luo Weian was initially unwilling to accept an apprentice from another family, but after being persuaded by Damao and knowing that Peng Chunlan was indeed a good talent, he broke the rules of his ancestors and accepted the girl.
Facts have proved that Peng Chunlan is indeed worthy of him breaking the rules. This girl has never been married and has worked hard to promote traditional Chinese medicine all her life. She has many students all over the world.
The second daughter, Peng Lianqiao, was admitted to Fudan University in Shanghai, where she studied Chinese. She is now a well-known writer and screenwriter.
The third daughter, Peng Banxia, had meningitis when she was a child, but her brain was not affected. She was admitted to Beijing University and was sent abroad to study. She worked in the United States for several years and returned to China with the latest technology. She has her own team and is working hard for the country's science and technology.
The three sisters are all outstanding in their respective fields, and none of them are married. The second sister did not persuade her to do so, as she had already experienced the bitterness of marriage and there was no need to let her daughters go through this hardship again.
Moreover, the happiest time in her life was the period after her divorce when she lived on the farm with her three daughters. Although life was a bit difficult materially, she and her daughters were very happy, as if a huge burden had been unloaded. Even boiled cabbage tasted sweet to them.
Peng Shuangcheng, however, felt that his three daughters must have been instigated by his second sister to not get married. This woman did not get married herself, and not only did she not want her daughters to get married either. She was very irresponsible.
So he went to argue with his second sister, but was scolded instead.
"What's the good of getting married? Will you be satisfied if I marry a man like you and suffer all the hardships I have suffered?" Xiang Ermei retorted.
"I...I...I won't argue with you. If Chunlan and the others don't get married, what will they do when they get old? If they get sick, they won't even have anyone to take care of them. But you have them to take care of you when you're old, so you don't have to worry."
Peng Shuangcheng really wanted to say that he was not bad, but he felt guilty and couldn't say it out loud, so he tried to reason with Xiang Ermei in a nice tone.
"There are so many nursing homes now. As long as you have the money, you can hire 18 people to take care of us. Chunlan and the others are successful in their careers now and earn enough to cover the expenses. What's the point of you worrying about this?"
Xiang Ermei saw that he was genuinely worried about her daughter's future, so she didn't argue with him but explained patiently.
As the vice president, she often has to visit abroad. There are many high-end nursing homes in Europe and the United States. As long as you have money, the nursing homes will take good care of you. Xiang Ermei feels that although China does not have such a retirement model now, it will definitely have one when Chunlan and others are old.
The economy is always developing and the national conditions are also changing. In the future, there will be more and more young people who do not get married. The pension economy will definitely be the mainstream economic model in the future. Xiang Ermei is not worried about the pension issues of her three daughters at all. She is only worried that her daughters cannot make money.
