"You always mean well but end up doing the opposite of what you intend. You shouldn't have agreed to Jiang Yi's offer in the first place. Now you've only made things worse for yourself," Su Ming complained.
"How could I have known that Mo Ran would be so kind? If I had known, I would never have agreed to Jiang Yi's offer, even if you killed me." Ye Mei was filled with regret.
“Mo Ran is not only good, but also very responsible and filial to us. He drives us everywhere we go. Even when Xiao Nuan comes home so late, he waits for her.” Su Ming patted the bed. “Look, he not only changed Xiao Nuan’s bed to a big one, but also changed our mattresses. Even a biological son wouldn’t be this thoughtful.”
"Oh right, this is the mattress that's all the rage on TV, it must cost a lot of money, right?" Ye Mei quickly lifted the mat and gently stroked it. "The quality is really good."
“A product that can be shown on TV must be good.” Su Ming put the mat that Ye Mei had lifted down back down. “Stop touching it! Go to bed and don’t waste such a good mat. You’ll definitely get a good night’s sleep tonight.”
"When did you sleep badly?" Ye Mei scoffed. "I snore like a pig as soon as I get into bed, and you can't wake me up no matter how hard you try."
"I'm sleepy, don't bother me!" Su Ming yawned and fell heavily onto the bed. Feeling the bouncy texture, he bounced a few times.
"Old man, he's like a child." Ye Mei laughed as she lay down, and couldn't help but bounce on the bed a few times. "Hey, it's really different sleeping on this bed. No wonder Dou Dou and Guo Guo like to jump around on the bed."
Finally, they both stood up and jumped on the bed a few times.
"It's really sturdy!"
"The mattress has a great name too, 'Warmth Mattress'," Ye Mei said happily, holding Su Ming's hand. "Do you remember when we named Xiao Nuan? It feels like this mattress has such a special connection with our family!"
"Xiao Nuan, the Warmth brand mattress..." Su Ming seemed to be talking to himself. "No wonder I felt so warm and familiar when I watched it on TV before, so that's why?"
After the two elders finished speaking, they held hands and jumped around on the bed.
She started laughing again as she jumped around.
"Dad, Mom, what are you laughing at? Aren't you asleep yet?" Su Xiaonuan came out of the room after taking a shower and heard laughter coming from inside.
The door was only slightly ajar, but she knocked hard and it opened, revealing the two elderly people standing on the bed.
“We…” Su Ming explained awkwardly. “We’re testing the quality of this mattress. The advertisement shows five or six people jumping on it and it doesn’t break. We’re seeing if it’s really like that. If it doesn’t work, we’ll have Moran return it tomorrow.”
Su Xiaonuan walked in, went straight to the bed, reached out and lifted the mat, looked at the label, and thought to herself, "It really is a Warmth brand mattress."
"What do you mean by 'returning'?" Ye Mei pulled him to sit down. "I just love the name of this mattress, 'Warm Brand Mattress,' which sounds similar to our little Nuan's name. It sounds comfortable. Even if the advertisement is a bit exaggerated, I'll still use this one. We'll replace our bed with this 'Warm Brand Mattress' one later."
“If you like it so much, why don’t you just go and sell this mattress?” Su Ming interrupted. “We can’t abandon our principles just because we like it. If the quality is bad, we have to expose it so that others won’t fall for it.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that I have to take care of my precious grandson right now, I would really like to sell this mattress.” Ye Mei was at odds with Su Ming. “Today, Warmth brand mattresses advertised on TV that they are looking for agents, one agent per city, authorized agents from the manufacturer. This is definitely a good business opportunity.”
"Mom, did you really see that the manufacturer is recruiting agents?" Su Xiaonuan had a sudden thought.
“Yes, if you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself.” Ye Mei added after saying that. “Oh dear, I forgot, you don’t have a TV here. How about your dad and I go back tomorrow and bring the TV over?”
"No need to move it around, I'll buy a TV tomorrow," Su Xiaonuan said confidently. "A black and white TV only costs a few hundred yuan."
“Daughter, how can you just buy such a luxury item as a TV on a whim?” Ye Mei said. “Let’s just bring the one we have at home over. It’s easy for it to break down if we leave it there. It’s broken down twice before. We just brought it home from the repair shop yesterday. The repairman said that appliances need to be used often to prevent them from breaking down.”
“Your mother is right. Let’s move to our house first and save the money you earn,” Su Ming said. “Raising two children is not easy. There will be many expenses in the future. Your mother and I often stay here with you. We’re worried that the TV will be stolen if we leave it at home. In the whole courtyard, we are the only ones with a TV. We are afraid that someone will have their eyes on it.”
"Okay, you can move it over first, so you won't have to worry about the TV being stolen." Su Xiaonuan didn't insist anymore. If it were really stolen, the two elders would probably be sad for a long time. A luxury item worth several hundred yuan was very valuable in those days.
"Then you take the kids to the zoo tomorrow, and your dad and I will go move the TV over. We'll also cook dinner for you at home, so there will be food when you come back from your trip." Ye Mei waved her hand. "Go to sleep!"
"Mom, you don't need to cook. It's not easy to take the kids out to play, they'll definitely eat out when they come back. Why don't you come along too? Moving the TV won't take a whole day. You can go move the TV after you come back from playing."
“Okay, there will be a lot of people on the weekend, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep an eye on the children. It’ll be more reassuring to go with them. I’ll do it your way.” Ye Mei now does everything around her two grandchildren, afraid that they will get lost.
When Su Xiaonuan returned to the room, Xiao Moran had already finished showering and was comfortably sprawled out on the bed.
He was only wearing a pair of shorts, shirtless, his abs gleaming with an alluring bronze color.
"Ah! What are you doing?" She quickly covered her eyes with her hands. "Get out of here!"
He jumped up and covered her mouth. "Why are you shouting so loudly? Aren't you afraid of waking the children? Aren't you afraid your parents will hear?"
She glared at him, stomped hard on his instep, and gritted her teeth as she spoke, each word distinct: "Xiao Moran."
"Honey, look how big the bed is, just let me sleep in the corner for one night, I promise I'll draw a line between us." He raised his hand to assure her.
"Don't even think about it." She rolled her eyes at him. "Go sleep on the floor."
"It's not easy to make a bed on the floor anymore. Look, this bed takes up too much space, and there's not enough room left to make a bed on the floor."
"We'll pay whatever it takes. If all else fails, you can sleep on a chair in the living room."
"If Mom and Dad found out, they'd be worried sick!" He stared at her, unblinking, seemingly unconcerned about the anger on her face. "Honey, give me some face, okay? Let me sleep in my bed with some dignity!"
"No means no, can't you understand human language?" she said through gritted teeth.
If she weren't afraid of waking the child, and if she weren't afraid of the elderly couple next door hearing, she would have loved to use force against him and beat this shameless man out.
We agreed to keep to ourselves, and we agreed on two years. You want to sleep with her so soon? No way.
