Lü Yazhi also knew that now that she was married, she couldn't stay at her daughter's house for long.
Otherwise, Old Wu would also feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
She said everything she should and shouldn't have said.
Whether Li Sumei is happy or not, she is in a pretty good mood right now.
Old Wu arrived, as did Wu Jiandong and Li Sumei. As for Wu Xiaoling, who came uninvited, Lü Yazhi paid her no attention at all.
With so many people here, it wouldn't look good if we didn't leave.
Wen Qiao, who was standing nearby, said, "Uncle Wu, please let Brother Jiandong and his wife go back first. I'll go pack my mother's things and wait for your car to go back later."
Upon hearing Wen Qiao's words, Wu Yongliang immediately agreed.
"Jiandong, you and Sumei go home first."
"Xiaoling, you should go back too. I need to wait for your Aunt Lü to leave together."
Wu Jiandong and Li Sumei came by bicycle. Fortunately, it wasn't far, so they could get back quickly. When Wen Qiao told Aunt Lü to go back, Wu Jiandong didn't say anything.
He called out to his wife and then rode away on his bicycle.
Wu Xiaoling stood at the door for a moment, intending to say something to Shen Jichuan, but seeing that Shen Jichuan was with Wen Qiao, he ignored her and went home.
Li Sumei just asked Wu Suwei if he wanted to go with them.
Wu Suowei rejected him.
Wu Suowei said, "With Grandpa's car, who would want to ride a bicycle?"
In front of her father-in-law, Li Sumei couldn't say much about her son's faults, so she ignored Wu Suwei.
Wen Qiao went back to the house to pack her mother's things. She had brought one bag when she came, but this time she brought many bags and packages, including food and drinks.
Looking at her daughter who was showing concern for her, Lü Yazhi felt a pang of sadness.
"Look, I'm already so old, and I still make you worry about me."
Wen Qiao said, "You're my mother. If I don't worry about you, who else should I worry about? This weekend, when I'm not busy, I'll go with you to take a look at the restaurant at that water plant. If it's feasible, we'll take it over; if not, we'll look into it some more."
"You know where you get your energy and spirit from, and you still want to open a restaurant."
As soon as Lü Yazhi looked up, she saw Old Wu and said something.
"I'm thinking of being able to support myself and earn more money. Otherwise, when I come back to buy things for my grandchildren, I won't have any money. Whatever the children want, I won't be able to buy it for them. Wouldn't that be worrying?"
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "They can buy anything from you. If they ask you for something, just tell me and I'll take care of them."
Lu Yazhi said those words intentionally for Old Wu to hear.
Lu Yazhi only has one daughter. What's the difference between the child born to this daughter and her own grandson?
She's good to Old Wu's biological grandson, so she should be even better to her own grandson.
Wen Qiao's family has three children.
Lü Yazhi thought that if she could really make more money through business, it would be better for her children in the future, and the burden of raising children for her daughter and son-in-law would be less.
After Lü Yazhi finished packing her things, Wen Qiao carried them to Old Wu's car without saying anything more, since it was getting late.
Lü Yazhi went back with Old Wu.
After everyone left, Shen Jichuan closed the door and went home with Wen Qiao.
Shen Jichuan glanced at Wen Qiao and said, "Don't worry about Mom. None of the Wu family members are a match for her. As long as Old Wu's heart is with Mom, no one can touch her."
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement.
"That's true, but Wu Jiandong is Uncle Wu's own son. I'm just worried that over time, the old couple will have disagreements and conflicts, and their relationship will fade."
"From a long-term perspective, my mother is doing quite well in business."
Shen Jichuan smiled and said, "This matter has been resolved."
Wen Qiao recalled the scene of Shen Jichuan talking to Wu Yongliang in the living room and asked a question.
What did you say to Uncle Wu?
After Wu Yongliang and Lü Yazhi returned to their bedroom, the old man quickly took out all his savings books and placed them on the bedside table.
Lü Yazhi is packing her clothes.
Hearing Old Wu cough, he turned around to look.
"Old Wu, why are you coughing again? Did you catch a cold?"
Hearing his wife's concern, Wu Yongliang felt a warm glow inside. In the decades before him, no one had ever cared for him as gently and meticulously as Lü Yazhi.
His ex-wife, who would only speak politely to him when she asked him for money.
Forget about showing concern, it's already a blessing if they don't cause any accidents or injuries.
Sometimes Old Wu would sigh and say how wonderful it would have been if he had met Lü Yazhi sooner.
“You didn’t catch a cold. I think Ji Chuan is right. I need to plan for your future as soon as possible. Right now, while I’m not around, they’re all on guard against you. Once I’m gone, they’ll definitely kick you out.”
Lu Yazhi said softly, "I have my own daughter to take care of me in my old age, so there's no need to worry about that."
Wu Yongliang said, "Then I can't let you suffer."
“I originally intended to use the money in this savings account for my retirement, but now that you want to start a business, you can use it.”
Lu Yazhi never jokes with Wu Yongliang because she knows that too many jokes will make him resentful.
She immediately said seriously, "Old Wu, I can't use your money. Besides, this is your retirement money, so you should keep it safe. Everyone says that raising children is for old age security, but to be honest, it's safest to keep your money in your own hands."
“If you have money, your children can still help you when you get old. But if you don’t have money and get sick, even the most filial people will turn their backs on you.”
Wu Yongliang said, "There's no such thing as a filial son when his wife is bedridden for a long time. I've come to terms with it. You can spend my money. If I really can't move after this, I can still trouble you to cook me a meal."
Lu Yazhi immediately said, "As long as we are husband and wife, I will definitely take care of you."
Wu Yongliang insisted on giving the money to Lü Yazhi.
Lu Yazhi declined twice, but finally said that she would use the money, but would treat it as a loan.
She wanted to write an IOU to Old Wu.
She actually wrote an IOU, but Old Wu tore it up immediately. Old Wu said, "Take this money and use it directly. Even if you lose all your money in business, I'm old and still have my pension."
There's no need to worry about their future.
***
When the weekend came, Wen Qiao specially came to pick up her mother to go to the water plant to check out the restaurant. Unexpectedly, Old Wu also came along.
Since they were going to take over the restaurant and start a business, they needed to negotiate the prices, so the three of them rode their bikes there.
The Shen family's private car has a driver, and Shen Jichuan had already told Wen Qiao that she could just call if she needed it.
Wen Qiao didn't use it; instead, she rode a bicycle.
When I got to the water plant's canteen and asked someone there, I learned that this was a bidding process.
Lü Yazhi didn't even know what bidding was.
Wen Qiao said, "I'll take care of this."
"Mom, the weather's nice today, why don't you and Uncle Wu go shopping? Just come home and wait for our news. I'll ask how to do this, and I'll let you know when it's done..."
Lu Yazhi asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can handle this? Don't you know anything? If you can't, I'll come with you. Do you need me to help out or something?"
Lü Yazhi was also worried about her daughter.
