If we let Old Mrs. Song keep arguing and making a fuss, it won't be over in half a day.
Song Yan didn't want to get entangled with him any longer. "When I walked in the door, my grandma said, 'You've finally decided to come back? You're not going to be out partying anymore?' Dad, is that what my grandma said?" Song Yan didn't want to call him Dad.
Mr. Song looked left and right without saying anything, which meant he wasn't denying it.
"I went to participate in rural construction, to contribute my strength to the construction of the motherland, and to sacrifice my small family for the greater good. My grandmother meant that I should put my family first and sacrifice the greater good. I never imagined that in your eyes, educated youth going to the countryside were just going to have fun!"
Grandma Yang, what should I do?
"Grandma asked me to do something, but I couldn't do it. That's why she got angry." Song Yan's words left everyone speechless.
Grandma Yang suddenly found today's events particularly interesting; she hadn't expected this little girl to become so shrewd.
How could Old Mrs. Song dare to say a word against what she said? "Old Mrs. Song, we've known each other for more than a day or two. I also want to advise you to be more aware. It's her awareness to send her child to the countryside to provide support; you can't hold her back."
"No, that's not how it is. How could I not support her going to the countryside? She won't admit her mistakes. Oh dear, she wrecked my house!" Old Mrs. Song felt a tightness in her chest.
"Oh, Grandma, it's absolutely impossible not to support rural development. Although you're wrong, I feel bad because you're angry, so I'll do whatever you tell me to do. You don't want me to eat, so I won't eat. You want me to smash the stove, so I smashed it. You want me to throw away the food, so I threw it away. You even want me to smash the house. So many things were smashed, it's such a waste, I only smashed a few plates and bowls. And after that, Grandma, you're still angry. What exactly do you want me to do?" Song Yan innocently spread his hands.
Grandma Yang wanted to laugh. Old Song's wife was used to throwing tantrums and sometimes said the opposite of what she meant. This time, Song Yan didn't indulge her. "Child, you haven't been home for a long time. You don't know your grandma's temper. Sometimes she says the opposite of what she means. Don't take it seriously."
"I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Grandma Yang." Song Yan's attitude was extremely good. "Grandma Yang, I changed my name. I changed the character 'Yan' in my name to 'Yan' from the novel 'Red Crag'." Song Yan's tone was light, as if she had just talked about something extremely happy.
"Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you? The moment you walked in, your grandma said you just missed her! She wouldn't have said that to anyone else! It's only because you're family. She just said something in anger and smashed the pot. Who hasn't said something in anger? And you just pretended to listen to her and smashed everything in the house, and you still think you're right?" Auntie rarely speaks up, but she couldn't hold back anymore. Was she heartbroken about the things in the house?
"Your grandma is so old, aren't you afraid of making her sick?" Was the uncle trying to persuade her? Or was he giving the old lady advice?
Grandma Song felt a pang of anger in her chest. How could this brat have changed so much in just six months? Hearing her eldest son's words, the old lady was struck by a thought: if she were to faint from anger, would she still dare to spout such nonsense here?
Song Yan didn't care what Uncle Song meant. She was carefully observing the old lady, her eyes darting around. If the old lady dared to faint, she would dare to prick her philtrum with a needle. She bought all the odds and ends she could find in her spatial storage; she basically had everything she needed.
The old woman clutched her chest, groaning in pain. Unfortunately, she was too late.
Song Ma was very frail. A few days ago, the old lady deliberately made things difficult for her, not letting her into the house in the dead of winter. She caught a cold. She had a high fever since yesterday, so much so that she hadn't even made breakfast this day. That's why the old lady was cooking while throwing a tantrum. Song Ma heard her daughter's voice and forced herself to stand up.
Song's mother-in-law's fear was ingrained in her bones, and she was even more afraid of her mother-in-law making things difficult for her daughter. Today, Song Yan's act of smashing up the house was completely unreasonable. She never imagined that her daughter would speak of it as utterly justified. Her resolve crumbled, and she fainted before her mother-in-law's very eyes!
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong?" Song Yan called out as she placed her hand on her mother's pulse. Then she examined her eyelids and fingernails. Song Yan knew what her mother looked like.
Song Ma had caught a cold that caused a high fever, and coupled with not eating or drinking well, the recent ordeal and fright had overwhelmed her, causing her to faint. Her body was extremely weak, suffering from both qi and blood deficiency. Even without test results, Song Yan was certain she had anemia caused by malnutrition, based solely on the paleness of her eyelids and nails.
How could such a thin and frail woman have the courage to stand in front of her daughter? Song Yan couldn't help but shed tears. "My mother is so sick, and you won't even take her to see a doctor?" Song Yan accused her father.
Song Yan planned to carry his mother to the factory hospital himself. Song's father, being understanding, said, "I'll carry your mother!"
The family of three hurriedly ran away.
Grandma Song couldn't stay unconscious any longer, and if she fainted, no one would care!
"Old Song's family, your daughter-in-law is quite ill. If she passes away, are you going to expect your granddaughter to pay for your son's expenses? Besides, this isn't the old society anymore..."
"Aunt Yang, that's not how it is..."
Grandma Yang interrupted Song Laoda's wife, "Stop talking nonsense, what exactly happened? Doesn't everyone know?"
Alright, Song Laoda, take your mother back! You should also try to persuade her to be more aware and not hold back the efforts to support rural development! If word gets out…” Grandma Yang’s words were quite meaningful!
Grandma Song was also a bit dumbfounded. Only her family knew about the plan to get Song Yan to pay up! Who spread the word? It must have been her second son's family! "Oh dear, who spread this rumor about my family? That's not true. You saw it yourself, that brat, for every one thing I say, she has ten things waiting for me to say."
"I haven't eaten yet. Are you going to let me eat or not?" Old Mrs. Yang urged them to leave.
The Song family still doesn't dare to cause trouble for Old Mrs. Yang, since her son-in-law became the deputy factory director this year.
"Oh my god, I'm late!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"…
The few people who needed to go to work took off running!
Those who weren't supposed to be on duty didn't come.
In an instant, only Grandma Song was left!
