Meng Yu remained silent about her mother-in-law's words and fed her granddaughter, but she was still very concerned about who sold the family property.
They originally had three houses left in the country that had not been sold.
One is an old house, one is the house where Lin Mengniang originally lived, the other is also a house, and the other is the scrap metal left by the old lady in the hometown.
It is no exaggeration to say that if these houses were still there, Zhang Shicheng would have no problem making a comeback with them.
But now they are gone.
No, it should be said that the house is still there, but the owner has changed.
It’s strange to say, they didn’t sell those houses when they left, but now the deeds in other people’s hands have a new name written in black and white, and there is also the seal that Zhang Shicheng had stamped on it.
Even Zhang Shicheng himself could not explain this.
So the house is not coming back.
Besides, the scrap metal that the old lady collected in the countryside is worthless, and after so many years, it has become the property of the country.
So they miscalculated by returning home this time.
When the old lady saw that her son and daughter-in-law ignored her, she suddenly felt sad and burst into tears.
"Oh my God, you don't expect an old lady like me to wash dishes and mop the floor for you, do you? Why is my life so miserable? I haven't had a single day of happiness. What sin have I committed?"
Meng Yu's mouth twitched as she heard this. She looked at the old lady on the ground and said:
"What do you mean by washing dishes and mopping the floor for us? That restaurant is also owned by your son. He's too busy and you're just helping out."
Today's Meng Yu is no longer the charming woman she was more than ten years ago.
She is 54 years old this year. Her face is sallow, her wrinkles are deep, her skin is loose and dull, and she is already in a state of withered flower.
She has experienced a lot abroad over the years. When her younger brother fell into the sea, her father kicked her out of the house.
There is a rift between the sisters.
The money Meng Xian owed could not be recovered because the person was dead.
Later, the eldest daughter was deceived into giving birth to the current child in a foreign country.
Her daughter and granddaughter relied on the Zhang family, which made her lose face in front of the old lady.
So she has been walking on thin ice in the Zhang family these years.
The reason she was being tough on the old man was because her daughter had a good job, otherwise she would never be able to hold her head up high in her life.
"Don't you know why my son opened a Chinese restaurant that doesn't make money?
If it weren't for you, my Zhang family would be where it is today?"
The family had so much money back then, but it was all squandered by Mr. Meng.
Thinking of the hardships she had endured outside over the years, she wished she could bite Meng Yu to death.
Without Meng Yu, the Zhang family would not be what it is today, and she would still be the old lady.
"Mom, please stop talking!"
He could recite all the words his mother said by heart, but what was the point of saying them now that things had come to this?
Zhang Shicheng didn't know when half of his face was covered with age spots. He was worried and tired.
The family's livelihood depends entirely on him. He has not relaxed in more than ten years since he left. He is no longer as elegant and confident as he used to be.
Zhang Shicheng regretted it so much that he should not have left if he had known this would happen!
The old lady was shocked to see her son like this. She stood up and ran to her son and asked:
"Son, now that you're back home, you don't still want to open a Chinese restaurant, do you?"
Her son realized that she didn't want to mop the floor and wash dishes anymore. She was over 70 years old and it was time for her to enjoy her life.
Are you really going to make me work until I die? The old lady looked at her son with horror.
Zhang Shicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, the situation in China is unclear right now. Even if you want to wash dishes, I wouldn't dare open a shop."
The old lady couldn't understand her son's business philosophy. She just wanted to be an old lady and enjoy the blessings she hadn't enjoyed before.
She grabbed her son's hand and asked nervously, "Son, go find some old connections. Our family is still doing the old business. It's better to do business with the old ones than with the new ones, don't you think?"
Mother believes that you can definitely make the Zhang family prosperous again, and mother is waiting to enjoy your blessing! "
Meng Yu also stopped and looked at Zhang Shicheng.
Zhang Shicheng sold the store before returning to China. He made some money buying stocks a few years ago.
So Meng Yu knew that he had money, but he didn't know how much.
Ever since that incident, Zhang Shicheng no longer trusted her, and she could not touch the money at home or the bills at the store.
She knew that Zhang Shicheng had money because he told her when he was happy.
At this moment, Zhang Shicheng patted his mother's hand, looking soothing, but actually feeling sad.
He is over fifty years old and has no time to focus on business. Besides, he has no son, so what's the point of him working harder?
Who will you spend your money on after you earn it?
I have three daughters. The eldest daughter is not married and now has a granddaughter.
Now the two little ones are continuing their studies abroad. They are receiving education abroad, so it seems that it is impossible for them to come to our house.
So even if I am determined to work harder, what’s the point of making money? Will it all be used to subsidize outsiders?
Besides, he was tired.
Zhang Shicheng was tired of being caught between several women over the years and was also exhausted by life.
He said to the old lady, "Don't worry, mother. As long as I am here, you will have food to eat. I will never abandon you."
The old lady was immediately moved, and she also noticed her son's fatigue.
Her son is her biological son, so of course she feels sorry for him, and at the same time she is still thinking.
Her son can provide for her in her old age, but who will provide for him in the future?
Rely on those three granddaughters?
Are they reliable?
When you went abroad, you gave yourself a foreign name. You are forgetting your roots!
So they are not reliable at all.
The old lady touched her son's wrinkled face with her rough hands and said with tears in her eyes:
"Son! It would be so nice if Duobao were here. He could take care of you in your old age and burn paper money for us mother and me in the underworld."
The old lady pointed at Meng Yu and said, "It's all this woman's fault. She made our Zhang family extinct. This vicious woman is really not a human being. You shouldn't have brought her back. She killed my grandson!"
Meng Yu's face turned pale immediately.
She has said it many times that she was not the one who took away the short-lived ghost. What does it take for them to believe her?
She has been thinking about it over the years but still can't figure out how a living person could disappear right under her nose!
I can't think of anything else except that it was done by someone, but who would want to harm her like this?
Meng Yu could never understand the answer and hated the person who made her life even more miserable.
Speaking of his son, Zhang Shicheng thought of Meng Niang, who was weak and unable to take care of herself.
After they returned to their country, they went directly to Qiang City. He asked around the world, but no one knew the whereabouts of the mother and daughter.
Zhang Shicheng didn't dare to imagine how Meng Niang, who was even afraid of cockroaches, had lived all these years?
Did she survive?
How are they, mother and daughter, doing now? Is the daughter married and has children?
Where is Meng Niang?
She must be waiting for him somewhere!
