"Honey, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
He knew how difficult it was for Sheng Yueqing to open this shop.
It took countless hours of hard work, from having no customers to now being able to handle big orders, and I even had to put on a smiling face for those wealthy ladies.
Sometimes you have to do some work for others for free and invest some money to attract so much business.
Otherwise, with so many wedding cakes available, why would people only buy from their store?
All of this was earned through the hard work of my wife.
But he almost hit someone, causing Old Mrs. He to wail here, which is very bad for his wife's business.
He hung his head dejectedly, "I feel like I can't do anything right."
His parents didn't like him when he was a child because they thought he ate too much, didn't know how to be socially savvy, and didn't know how to flatter them.
When he grew up, the young people in the village didn't like him either, thinking he was aloof and didn't fit in.
Only his wife treats him well.
His wife even took him away from his family of origin.
His wife also helped him study and sent him abroad.
I thought good days were just around the corner.
I didn't expect this to happen again.
Seeing that his head was almost touching the ground, Sheng Yueqing smiled and lifted it up for him.
"Okay, stop blaming yourself. You're not the one who did something wrong."
It's them.
She knew that He Yushen was an insecure person.
Moreover, he is prone to getting caught in a cycle of self-blame, which is probably how he was in his past life.
When the He family dragged her down, she felt extremely guilty and depressed, as if she had entered a vicious cycle from which she could not escape.
Although he has become more optimistic in this life, he is still fundamentally insecure.
I always feel like I'm prone to making mistakes and causing her trouble.
This personality trait is related to the indifference and ridicule from Grandma He's family.
A perfectly good child who is disliked by his parents from a young age and is ridiculed and mocked by his siblings will naturally develop personality flaws.
But he remained very restrained throughout.
I won't lose my temper unless I can't hold back.
He lost his temper just now to protect her, and she understands that.
He then reassured He Yushen, "I'll tell you what to do, just listen to me."
He Yushen leaned against her chest, listening to her methods, and his eyes finally regained their sparkle.
"Honey, did what you said work?"
Sheng Yueqing tapped his nose, "Do you believe me?"
He Yushen nodded. "I believe you."
My wife's words are the truth.
So he regained his confidence.
He went outside.
He kowtowed three times to the wailing old woman, He.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I really don't have the money to raise your son or grandson."
"And this shop of mine, I can't give it to you either. Although you want to give it to your brothers, the lease on this shop is about to expire. If you really want to give it to your brothers, then let your brothers contribute some money to rent it."
"Besides, I can't squeeze any more money out of you to raise your son and grandson. If you really want to force me to my death, I'll jump into the river in a bit."
"I'll be your son again in my next life, and I'll help you raise your sons and grandsons."
The onlookers initially thought He Yushen was a bastard who beat his mother and were about to call the police.
I never expected this to happen.
It turned out that the elderly mother wanted her youngest son's money to support her older sons.
"That old lady is such a jerk, she only has one son to do her dirty work."
“That’s right. She looks healthy and strong, and there are no injuries on her face. She doesn’t look like she’s been beaten.”
"Besides, what kind of talk is it to let the younger son raise the older son?"
Some elderly women couldn't stand it and spat, "I hate biased parents the most. This old woman comes here every few days asking for money, and her daughters-in-law are no better either."
"Yes, I saw it clearly. They are all healthy and there is nothing wrong with them. They are probably just trying to extort money from me."
The crowd began to whisper among themselves, and the atmosphere instantly shifted.
Old Mrs. He was stunned by everyone's words.
"No, it was this unfilial son who hit me. My daughters-in-law can all testify to that."
But nobody believed it.
These days, they come to Sheng Yueqing's place every day asking for money, and the neighbors upstairs all know about it.
Looking at Old Mrs. He's energetic appearance, I became even more certain that she was a bad mother.
As a result, everyone cast disdainful glances at them.
Old Mrs. He tried to explain, but no one believed her.
The daughters-in-law were so embarrassed by what everyone said that they had no choice but to help Old Mother He up.
"Mom, let's go back first."
We'll come back later after we've discussed and come up with a plan.
Otherwise, staying any longer would be incredibly embarrassing.
Old Mrs. He also felt ashamed, but she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.
She glared angrily at He Yushen and Sheng Yueqing before returning to the hotel with her daughters-in-law.
After they left, He Yushen and Sheng Yueqing bowed deeply to their neighbors and passersby.
"Thank you all for speaking up for us."
"Actually, it's only right for a mother to take care of her sons when they grow up, but my mother-in-law has six sons in total, and they all earn a good income. They can't just let us live off them."
“Seeing that my older brothers and sisters-in-law all have houses and children, while we are still too poor to have children, and we don’t even have a house to live in back in our hometown, otherwise we wouldn’t have come here.”
“Now my mother-in-law and several of my sisters-in-law are coming to ask for money again, and we have no way to do anything about it. Sigh.”
As he spoke, he went into the store and gave everyone some vegetables and fruits.
Those vegetables and fruits were all grown in Sheng Yueqing's space; they looked fresh and delicious.
After receiving the message, neighbors and passersby offered words of comfort, saying, "You've had it tough too."
But many people still feel that "parents are never wrong, so you should be more understanding."
Sheng Yueqing disagreed with this statement.
There are plenty of bad parents in the world.
