Chapter 118 You only have one mother when you work
"If you don't want us to come, we don't have to come." Xu Ruyun said coldly.
Xu Ruyun protected her two children. As for Yan Mingde, Yan Mingde was corrupted by his mother. Xu Ruyun had no intention of correcting Yan Mingde. Yan Mingde could do whatever he wanted.
"Okay." Old Lady Yan said, she looked at Yan Mingde, "Mingde, these are your brothers and sisters, you can't be too harsh on them. You are the older brother, you know?"
"I know." Yan Mingde felt uncomfortable, but he still said he knew. When Old Lady Yan had a stern face, Yan Mingde was still a little scared. If Mother Yan had a stern face, Yan Mingde would not be scared at all.
"Okay, everyone sit down." Old Lady Yan said, "Anyone who wants to sit down, please sit down."
When Xu Ruyun heard what Old Lady Yan said, she stopped arguing with her mother. Although her mother was unhappy, she didn't say anything else for Old Lady Yan's sake.
When it was time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, Yan Mingde sat down directly. When Xu Ruyun saw this, she didn't expect Yan Mingde to ask them to sit down to eat, nor did she expect Yan Mingde to give up the good seats to them.
Xu Ruyun picked up food for the two children, but she didn't pick up food for Yan Mingde. Yan Mingde was even more unhappy when he saw Xu Ruyun picking up food for her younger brother and sister.
"Eat some food." Yan's mother picked up some food for Yan Mingde.
Yan Mingde saw his grandmother picking food for him. He glanced at his younger brother and sister provocatively. His grandmother would only be nice to him. Yan Yanran was too lazy to pay attention to Yan Mingde. She and her brother had their parents' care, so they didn't need their grandmother's care.
This New Year's Eve dinner did not bring Yan Mingde closer to his younger brothers and sisters. Instead, it made his younger brothers and sisters dislike him even more.
After Xu Ruyun and her husband left with their two children, Yan's mother talked to Old Lady Yan. She felt that Xu Ruyun did not know how to educate her children.
"Isn't this for the good of the two little ones? In the future, Mingde will inherit the business. If they, as the younger brothers and sisters, don't get along well with their older brother, what will they do in the future?" Yan's mother said, "If they weren't my grandchildren, I wouldn't care about these things."
Old Lady Yan glanced at Mother Yan and said, "Do you really think Mingde will be able to inherit the family business in the future?"
"Mingde is the eldest son and grandson. If he doesn't inherit, who will?" Yan's mother said as a matter of course.
"..." Old Madam Yan was speechless. Mother Yan was always like this. "If you really think he can inherit the business smoothly, why do you want Xu Ruyun to bring the two children to have the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I..." Mother Yan opened her mouth, thought for a long time, and then said, "Mingde is Xu Ruyun's biological son. What belongs to Mingde should be inherited by Mingde. Mingde is not someone else, he..."
"Xu Ruyun has more than one son." Old Lady Yan said, "The younger one is the closest to your son."
Yan Yichen and Yan Mingde had little contact, unlike Yan Yichen who lived with the two children. Yan Yichen often saw the two children. Yan Yichen had a good relationship with the two children, but not with Yan Mingde. Yan Mingde was ruined by his mother. In front of his parents, he didn't give them face at all and bullied his younger brothers and sisters. Did she really think Yan Yichen had no eyes?
Yan Mingde's behavior was too obvious. There was no way Yan Yichen would let Yan Mingde inherit the family property. If Yan Mingde inherited the family property, Yan Mingde's two younger brothers and sisters would be in trouble.
"It has always been believed that the eldest son and grandson are the ones who..."
"Don't do it since ancient times." Old Lady Yan said, "Even in ancient times, there were many cases of brothers fighting each other. If you want Mingde to have a good relationship with his brothers and sisters, you have to do a good job on the surface. Don't always help Mingde bully his brothers and sisters. You are harming Mingde, not helping him."
"How come that's not helping him? Xu Ruyun only has two little ones in her eyes..."
"That's because you brought Mingde here when he was very young." Old Lady Yan said, "Xu Ruyun wanted to see the child, but you didn't let her. Since she couldn't see Mingde, she had to give birth to another child quickly and focus on the next child instead of Mingde."
Old Lady Yan saw it too clearly. She understood these things a long time ago, but Mother Yan still didn't. Mother Yan only had some ideas recently. Yan Yichen had a younger son, so he came less often. He was also a little impatient with Yan Mingde, not as gentle as at the beginning. Mother Yan could feel it.
"Don't always say that Mingde will inherit the family fortune. It's still uncertain who will inherit the family fortune in the future." Old Lady Yan said, "Mingde's grades are not good enough. He offends his classmates at school and even gets into fights. Does this look like a good heir?"
"Mingde is still young." said Yan's mother.
"Little?" Old Lady Yan asked, "Look at the little Wenjun of the Ning family..."
"She is older than Mingde!" Yan's mother emphasized, "She is older than Mingde, and girls mature earlier and understand things earlier than boys. When Mingde is older, Mingde will understand."
"..." Old Mrs. Yan was speechless. Before she could finish her words, Yan's mother interrupted her.
Little Wenjun didn't know that Old Lady Yan was talking about her. She studied hard and behaved better, not only to make her parents happy, but also for her own future. Her parents had told her that her future was in her own hands, and she had to keep what her parents left her.
After returning home from visiting Ning's parents, Su Xueqing and her husband took Xiao Wenjun to the yard to grill meat. Xiao Wenjun looked at the sizzling barbecue and tilted her head, smelling the aroma.
"It smells so good." Xiao Wenjun said.
"It tastes even better." Su Xueqing touched her daughter's head.
Su Xueqing and her husband rarely let Xiao Wenjun eat food from street vendors. They also prepare some similar food for Xiao Wenjun at home to prevent Xiao Wenjun from being overly curious about street food. Sometimes, it is better to take the initiative to let children see more of the outside world than to suppress them and prevent them from touching those things.
Children are curious. The more you don't let them understand, the more they want to understand.
"You can't eat barbecue often. It's not good for your health." Su Xueqing said, "It's okay to eat it occasionally."
"I know, Mom. Too much is as bad as too little." Xiao Wenjun nodded and looked at her father. "Dad, are you ready? I want to eat skewers."
The chef was grilling, so Ning Yanjing moved too.
"It will be ready soon." Ning Yanjing said, "Eat meat and vegetables."
"I know, I know." Xiao Wenjun said, "Eat them all, eat them all."
Wei Shanshan was on night shift at the hospital. She worked hard and didn't dare to slack off. Wei Shanshan thought that she could relax on night shift on New Year's Eve, but she didn't expect that someone needed emergency treatment and came to the hospital. The hospital was short of staff, so Wei Shanshan was called over to help.
By the time Wei Shanshan finished her work, it was already the next morning. She handed over her shift to someone else and then went back to rest.
Wei Shanshan bought some food outside and brought it back. She didn't cook alone because she was too tired. She would cook some delicious food when she was not so tired. Wei Shanshan rarely cooked alone. She basically ate in the company cafeteria or bought some food outside.
There was a divorced man in the neighborhood who could cook and was several years older than Wei Shanshan. Someone knew Wei Shanshan and said they could live together.
Partner up? What the hell!
There is no such thing as a free lunch. How could Wei Shanshan not know what those people meant? They just wanted to match her up with the divorced man. Wei Shanshan didn't care whether the divorce was caused by the divorced man's problems or not. What she knew was that many second marriages were worse than first marriages and would cause many troubles.
Wei Shanshan didn't plan to find a divorced man. If she really found such a man, her aunt, her grandmother and others would be very disappointed, and her mother would definitely say that she had poor vision. Don't say that a divorced man would treat her well. This kind of kindness is likely to be temporary, not forever. Wei Shanshan has been lacking in maternal love since she was a child, but her aunt and others have been very good to her. Wei Shanshan can't be with a divorced man just for a little bit of affection. She can't ruin her life.
Some people don't even consider what others think, they just like to bring people together blindly.
Wei Shanshan ignored those people, so they didn't think about matchmaking. The divorced man had met Wei Shanshan before, and once told her what he was going to cook for dinner. When he described it, Wei Shanshan didn't drool. Wei Shanshan had eaten a lot of good food at her aunt's place. The chefs at her aunt's house were all very good, and she could cook a little herself, so how could she think about the food cooked by others?
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Shanshan went to the Su family to pay New Year's greetings. She knew that her aunt and others would go to her grandmother's house on this day.
When Amelia Su saw Wei Shanshan bringing gifts to the Su family, she felt uncomfortable.
“You respect your grandparents.” Amelia Su said sarcastically.
"Of course, I lived with my grandparents when I was little." Wei Shanshan said, "My grandparents even paid for my tuition."
"They have only paid your tuition for a few years?" Amelia Su said, "Wei Shanshan, have you forgotten..."
"I haven't forgotten, Mom, you paid for my tuition, living expenses, and a place to live. If it weren't for you, there would be no me. If it weren't for you being grandma's biological daughter, I wouldn't have been treated so well." Wei Shanshan didn't need Su Yamei to say it, she knew what Su Yamei was going to say.
Su Xueqing and her husband had just come over with Xiao Wenjun, and they heard the conversation between Wei Shanshan and Amelia Su. Su Xueqing felt that Amelia Su also had a problem. Wei Shanshan came to see her grandparents, so of course she had to bring a gift. If Wei Shanshan didn't bring a gift, how would others see her?
"Shanshan." Su Xueqing called Wei Shanshan.
"Aunt." When Wei Shanshan saw Su Xueqing, she smiled immediately.
“…” Amelia Su felt glaring when she saw this scene. Wei Shanshan was really good to Amelia Su.
"Cousin." Xiao Wenjun called Wei Shanshan, "Let's go out and play."
“Xiao Junjun, if you go out to play, your cousin Shanshan won’t go out to play.” Amelia Su said, “She is so old now, it’s time for her to help with some things.”
Amelia Su tied the apron herself and asked Wei Shanshan to help.
"It's okay, let Shanshan go play." Su's mother said, "The kitchen in the backyard is so small, there's no room for so many people."
Mother Su waved towards Wei Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, go play with Xiaojunjun, and remember to come back for dinner."
"Cousin, let's go play." Xiao Wenjun said, "And cousin, let's all go play."
"Go, go, let's go together." Su Yanan agreed, "I brought some snacks, you can grab some and eat them."
Su Yanan runs her own grocery store. She knows that children like to buy snacks during the Chinese New Year when they have money, so she simply brings some over. The grocery store buys things at a cheaper price than the children buying things from other small shops.
Not only did Su Yanan bring snacks, Su Xueqing also brought a lot of food. Su Xueqing likes to eat those snacks, so she brought them. Why do children like Su Xueqing so much? It’s mainly because they feel that Su Xueqing is very close to them and there is no sense of distance.
Su Yanan has three children, Su Yamei has two children, Su Sansao and her husband have one child, and Su Xueqing and her husband have one child, which adds up to seven children. Other relatives did not come. If they came, there would be more children.
Su Yanan's eldest son is not young anymore, and it is time for him to find a partner and get married. Since Su Yanan's husband fainted and was hospitalized, Su Yanan felt that they did not need to worry too much, and that children and grandchildren would have their own children and grandchildren. What is important now is free love, so let her son date first. If her son still hasn't found a partner after a few years, she can let him go on a blind date, and it will still be in time.
When Xiao Wenjun went out with those people, Su Xueqing gave Xiao Wenjun some extra money, so they could buy anything they wanted. Xiao Wenjun also had a wallet in her plush bag, and she had a lot of money in her hands. She liked the feeling of her mother caring about her.
It was still early and it would probably take another two or three hours before dinner time, so Xiao Wenjun and her friends decided to go to a nearby shopping mall.
Xiao Wenjun acted like a little adult and told them to choose the things and she would pay.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be robbed?" Wei Shanshan joked.
"With my brothers and sisters here, what do I have to be afraid of?" Xiao Wenjun said. She is the youngest, and even if the sky falls, she has her brothers and sisters to support her. "Sister Shanshan, did you buy new clothes for the New Year?"
"I bought it. This set of clothes is new." Wei Shanshan said, "Of course I won't buy new clothes. I'm working and making money."
"Yeah, I'm happy." Xiao Wenjun said, "Let's go and take a look. Grandma and the others said that clothes will be cheaper after the New Year."
"Take a look." Wei Shanshan said.
Several people came into the store together. When the clerk saw them, he thought they didn't look like they were going to buy anything. One of the clerks knew Xiao Wenjun. Xiao Wenjun had come to buy things with her parents before. Xiao Wenjun had money. Therefore, one of the clerks came over and said to Xiao Wenjun, "It doesn't matter if these people buy something or not. If they don't buy it this time, they will buy it in the future."
Xiao Wenjun looked at the scarves and bought three scarves, one for herself, one for Wei Shanshan, and one for Tian Caixia. They were three different colors but similar in style. Wei Shanshan said no and said that if she wanted to buy one, she would pay for it.
"I'll buy it." Wei Shanshan said.
"Sister Shanshan." Xiao Wenjun stopped Wei Shanshan, "I'll give it to you. My mother gave me money when I came out. Sister Shanshan, you don't have to be polite. Keep your money as a dowry."
"You are so young, and you still know about dowry?" Wei Shanshan said.
"I understand." Xiao Wenjun said, "It's said on TV, and I'm a person who watches TV dramas!"
Xiao Wenjun shrugged, she was not a person who knew nothing.
"If the dowry is not enough, you will be bullied by your husband's family. If the dowry is too much, they will eat up the whole family." Xiao Wenjun said.
"You know a lot." Wei Shanshan said.
"If you know more, you won't be at a disadvantage so easily." Xiao Wenjun said, "It's not okay to be foolish and just follow what others say. Sister Shanshan, take a look at this scarf. If you don't like it, change it."
"That's it." Wei Shanshan said with a smile.
"I want this one too, no need to change it." Tian Caixia said.
"Sister Caixia, you should save more for your dowry." Xiao Wenjun said.
"Save, save, save." Tian Caixia said, "Save all."
"I will not save up my dowry. I want to learn how to recognize people." Xiao Wenjun said, "Make good use of talents and be a good manager."
"Yes, yes, you don't have to save." Tian Caixia put her hands on Xiao Wenjun's body, "Your aunt and uncle will save for you, you don't have to save."
"If a woman is smart, that's the best dowry." Xiao Wenjun said.
"Is this also what they said on TV?" Wei Shanshan asked.
"No, no, no." Xiao Wenjun raised her index finger. "No, there's no way that would be said on TV. In TV shows, women are always a little dumber and stupider. No matter how big a mistake the man's family makes, the woman has to forgive them and they all have a happy ending in the end. My mom said that's a TV show. TV shows like happy endings, making everyone happy and making the heroine feel wronged."
Su Xueqing was afraid that Xiao Wenjun would become stupid after watching TV dramas. In this era, there are many TV dramas with happy endings. No matter how the man abuses the woman, the woman has to forgive him in the end and help raise the children and the family. Su Xueqing couldn't watch Xiao Wenjun all the time. When Xiao Wenjun saw those contents while watching TV dramas, Su Xueqing would talk to Xiao Wenjun, and Xiao Wenjun would sometimes ask.
Sometimes I find it hard to understand some characters in TV dramas. They have obviously been wronged, so why can't they fight back? They are still talking about truth, goodness and beauty. Is that truth, goodness and beauty? It's just stupid!
"It's okay to watch more TV series, but don't be stupid." Xiao Wenjun said, "My mom always told me that it's easy to become stupid if you watch TV series or read novels. In reality, logic is not needed, that is, TV series and novels require logic, and reality is always more ridiculous."
Xiao Wenjun looked at Wei Shanshan, just like her cousin. If she followed the routine of the TV series, Wei Shanshan and her biological mother would have to reconcile. When Amelia Su gets old, Wei Shanshan will have to take care of her biological mother. This is how TV dramas are. There are no parents who are not wrong. Children have to forgive their parents who have done something wrong.
Su Xudong and the other boys did not ask Xiao Wenjun to buy anything for them. Xiao Wenjun wanted to give them something, but they said no, so Xiao Wenjun bought them warm gloves. Su Xudong and the others were embarrassed because they were older than Xiao Wenjun, so how could they have the nerve to ask Xiao Wenjun to buy something for them?
"Let me practice." Xiao Wenjun said, "I'm older now, and I have a lot to learn. Giving gifts is also a science."
Wei Shanshan felt that Xiao Wenjun was not just practicing, she just wanted to buy something for them. Others had older children take younger children shopping and the older children paid, but when it came to Xiao Wenjun, she paid.
Su Xudong and the other boys were afraid that Xiao Wenjun would be stolen, so they were surrounded by Xiao Wenjun. On the way back, Su Xudong was still talking over there.
"Xiao Junjun, from now on, you can't go out by yourself like this." Su Xudong said, "You will be targeted by others."
"Aren't you guys here?" Xiao Wenjun said, "There are so many of us together."
Xiao Wenjun said that she was not stupid. If she went out alone, she would know not to show her wealth. She would never do that today. Xiao Wenjun did not take out all her money today. Besides, it was normal for children to have some money during the Chinese New Year.
"Are you happy?" Xiao Wenjun asked.
"Happy." Su Xudong said.
"Isn't it good enough to be happy?" Xiao Wenjun said.
Wei Yaozu was unhappy. Xiao Wenjun was polite to everyone else. When it was Wei Yaozu's turn, he didn't say much. Xiao Wenjun was a little impatient and told him to choose gloves quickly if he wanted them. Otherwise, they would be gone. Of course Wei Yaozu had to choose them. If he didn't want them, he would be the only one without them. Wouldn't he be laughed at?
The group walked on the road, and Wei Yaozu tried to interrupt several times but failed. These people didn't care whether Wei Yaozu was spoiled by Amelia Su or not. Tian Caixia and the others liked Xiao Wenjun more. Xiao Wenjun was polite and gave them gifts. Xiao Wenjun was so nice.
Xiao Wenjun was aware that Wei Yaozu was unhappy, but she didn't care whether he was happy or not.
When they returned to the Su family, Su Yanan saw the scarf around Tian Caixia's neck. Tian Caixia was not wearing a scarf when she came here today.
"Where are you from?" Su Yanan asked, "Did you go to the mall?"
"Junjun bought it for me." Tian Caixia took the scarf off and showed it to Su Yanan. "Mom, does it look good?"
"It looks good, it looks good," Su Yanan said, "How much does it cost?"
"I have one too." Wei Shanshan said.
"We all have them." Su Xudong showed everyone his gloves.
The winter and early spring in South City are very cold, and boys like to play, so their hands are frozen cold and some get frostbite. Su Xudong is the only child of Su Sange and his wife. Su San's wife has ideas to keep Su Xudong warm, but boys sometimes don't pay too much attention.
"There's still hair inside." Su's mother took the gloves from Su Xudong's hand and turned them over to take a look.
"Grandma, I didn't buy it for you, but mom did." Xiao Wenjun said with a smile, "I bought it for my brother and sister. We played there together for a while. We didn't dare to stay too long because we were afraid that dinner would be served."
"It's time to have dinner." Mother Su said, "If you haven't come yet, your grandfather should go find you."
Mrs. Su originally thought that Xiao Wenjun would at most take everyone to buy candy or something, but she didn't expect that Xiao Wenjun actually bought scarves and gloves.
"Have you spent all your New Year's money?" Mrs. Su joked.
"No, no." Xiao Wenjun said, "I still have my New Year's money. My mother didn't take it away from me. She told me to manage it myself."
Xiao Wenjun is in junior high school, and Su Xueqing asked Xiao Wenjun to learn how to manage money. Xiao Wenjun usually doesn't spend money, so she saves it. Xiao Wenjun also takes out money to ask her father to help invest, like her mother, to buy houses and gold, or to invest in those industries.
But Xiao Wenjun is still young, she doesn't know how to invest, so she still has to learn from her father. Xiao Wenjun knows the existence of the stock market, but she doesn't dare to play around casually. She is so young that she can't understand the twists and turns and it is easy to lose money.
"You let Xiao Junjun manage the money himself?" Su Yanan asked Su Xueqing.
"Yes." Su Xueqing said, "She is not a child anymore, she needs to learn more. We can't always help her manage money. If we keep managing it, she will sooner or later feel that we as parents are controlling too much. She is not a three-year-old child anymore, she is in junior high school."
There are many children from wealthy families in Xiao Wenjun's class. Those children know a lot at a young age and know how to do things for their own interests. Xiao Wenjun goes to school with those people and she sees their actions. Some people in the class play together, and they also form small groups. It's not just because of the good relationship between some people, but also because of their family background, so Xiao Wenjun knows more than her peers.
"Aren't you afraid that she will spend money recklessly?" Su Yanan asked.
"If she spends money recklessly, she will learn her lesson and won't spend money recklessly again in the future," said Su Xueqing.
"..." Su Yanan thought about it and it made sense. Su Xueqing and her husband didn't need that little money. Su Xueqing and her husband only had Xiao Wenjun as their child, so of course they wanted Xiao Wenjun to grow up quickly, which was why they let Xiao Wenjun manage the New Year's money early on.
The amount of the New Year's money is not much for Xiao Wenjun. When Xiao Wenjun manages the company in the future, the company's assets will increase.
Amelia Su didn't say anything. She just felt that Amelia Su was showing off. Xiao Wenjun got the true teachings of Amelia Su. Amelia Su looked at her son, who didn't seem very happy.
"Yaozu." Amelia Su asked Wei Yaozu to come over, "Come."
Wei Yaozu walked to Amelia Su’s side, holding the gloves bought by Xiao Wenjun in his hand.
"Can you work with these gloves on?" Amelia Su said, "Mom will take you to buy some other day."
"Sister, does your Yaozu still need to work?" Su Yanan heard Amelia Su's words, and she deliberately said, "Isn't it enough for you two to work? Your Yaozu is still young."
This is what Amelia Su said before, saying that Wei Yaozu was still young, and that Wei Yaozu, as a boy, was not suitable for doing those trivial things.
When it came to Wei Shanshan, Amelia Su said that Wei Shanshan would be transferred to someone else's house sooner or later, and Wei Shanshan must learn how to do housework. Amelia Su asked little Wei Shanshan to work more.
“Boys have to do some work eventually.” Amelia Su said, “It’s just not now.”
“That’s right, he has to support his family in the future.” Su Yanan didn’t continue talking. If she continued, Amelia Su would be unhappy.
Su's father and mother are still alive, as is Su's third brother. Su Yanan and her two sisters will come to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year and have dinner with her family.
Xiao Wenjun and other children sat together to eat. Tian Caixia was no longer as willful as before. She had grown a lot. Tian Caixia's attitude towards Wei Shanshan and others was much better, mainly because her father had an accident, so Tian Caixia has learned a lot now.
Su Yanan also joked with her man, saying that if it hadn't happened to him, Tian Caixia would not have grown up yet, and that Tian Guohua's accident was worth it.
After dinner, Su Xueqing and her husband stayed at Su's house for a while before going back. They did not take a car back, but walked back, just in time for a walk.
"Why did you think of buying those things for them today?" Su Xueqing wondered.
"If I want to buy, I just buy it." Xiao Wenjun said, "I went to the mall, looked at the things, and they were on sale, so I bought them. They were all quite cheap, not expensive. My brothers and sisters are so old now, they probably don't like to eat candy, candy is too cheap. Two candies for one cent, and the candy doesn't taste good."
Xiao Wenjun thinks it is better to buy something useful instead of useless things.
"Mom, cousin Yaozu..." Xiao Wenjun paused.
"What's wrong with him?" Su Xueqing asked.
"He has a lot of problems." Xiao Wenjun said.
"He, you should pay less attention to him. He is your aunt's beloved treasure." Su Xueqing said.
"I am still my mother's sweetheart." Xiao Wenjun said.
"Yes, yes, you are still your father's beloved sweetheart." Su Xueqing chuckled.
Xiao Wenjun looked at her father and said, "Mom is Dad's precious sweetheart. I am not that important."
"You are just a little behind your mother." Ning Yanjing coughed lightly, "Without your mother, there would be no you."
"I know." Xiao Wenjun said, "I exist because of my mother."
"What else?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"I exist because of my father." Xiao Wenjun said, "But my position in my mother's heart is not necessarily lower than my father's. My mother carried me for ten months before giving birth to me!"
"You little rascal." Ning Yanjing looked at Xiao Wenjun making faces at him. Just as he was about to reach out and pat his daughter's arm, she jumped three meters away.
Ning Yanjing shook his head gently. He looked at Xiao Wenjun and asked, "Were you also this lively and cute when you were a child?"
"Cute..." Su Xueqing looked at Xiao Wenjun, who was indeed very cute. "When I was a child... How could I remember something that happened so long ago?"
I can’t remember some ordinary things, and the only things I can remember are basically embarrassing things.
Su Xueqing didn't want Ning Yanjing to know about her embarrassing stories. It would be fine if she just knew them herself.
"You must have been cuter than Xiao Junjun when you were a child." Ning Yanjing said.
"Are you so sure?" Su Xueqing raised her eyebrows.
"My daughter has grown up so well, so naturally she can't be a bad mother." Ning Yanjing said.
"Then it's impossible for a father to be bad, right?" Su Xueqing said.
"Yes, of course." Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly, and the two looked towards the road ahead together.
Wei Shanshan left before Su Yanan left. With her second aunt around, her mother could say less. When Wei Shanshan left, she said goodbye to her grandmother, uncle and others, and finally to her parents.
Seeing Wei Shanshan leave like this, Amelia Su couldn't help but say, "She left so quickly. She didn't help to pack up and just sat there to play. When she saw her aunt leave, she followed her, she..."
"We've finished eating, so of course we have to go." Su Yanan said, "You didn't ask Shanshan to have dinner at your place tonight."
"Why did I ask her to eat at my place?" Amelia Su said, "Is that her attitude towards her biological mother?"
"She still calls you mom." Su Yanan said.
“…” There was no way Amelia Su would be satisfied with Wei Shanshan calling her mom. She wanted to see Wei Shanshan bow her head, but Wei Shanshan refused to do so.
A few days later, Yu Chunhua and her husband came to Nancheng from the countryside. In addition to visiting Aunt Su, they also wanted to find something to do in the city. Even if it was just cleaning the streets, as long as there was something to do, they would stay in the city to do it.
Yu Chunhua and his wife mainly farmed in the countryside, but they couldn't make much money. Many people in the countryside grow lotus seeds, which are a bit more expensive, but they still have to peel them. If they can't peel them all, they have to hire someone to do it, and in the end they still make very little money. Yu Chunhua and his wife's son works in the city, and the couple also want to come to the city to find a job.
When Yu Chunhua saw Aunt Su's hemiplegia, her eyes turned red. Yu Chunhua had never come to see her before, but her son had. When her son went back to the countryside for the New Year, he told her about Aunt Su's condition. Yu Chunhua had also heard about it from Yu Donghua, but hearing it was not as shocking as seeing it.
"Mom." Yu Chunhua felt distressed.
"No, nothing's wrong." Aunt Su said, "Not bad."
"Is this okay?" Yu Chunhua was angry. "My sister-in-law is too much. She..."
Yu Chunhua said this, but she did not rush to find Yu Dasao. It had been a long time since the incident, and those people had already discussed the issue of Aunt Su's retirement. If Yu Chunhua went to find Yu Dasao again, she would not be able to get a good look from her.
Yu Chunhua herself was not a courageous person, she was rather cowardly. She did not dare to force her parents to leave her child in South City, and now she did not dare to make trouble in front of Yu Dasao.
"Donghua, have you visited your sister-in-law?" Yu Chunhua asked.
"I've looked for it." Yu Donghua said.
The Yu Donghua sisters were both in Aunt Su Xiao's room. The small space seemed a little crowded. Some of them sat on the bed, and some leaned against the wall.
"Sister-in-law doesn't care about mom. Didn't I tell you that?" Yu Donghua said, "Now dad has taken out part of his retirement money, and I will come over every two days to do the laundry for mom and dad. Sister, are you going to stay in Nancheng for a long time this time?"
"Come and see if there is anything to do." Yu Chunhua said, "You can't make much money by farming in the countryside. You can make more money by working outside."
"Then find something to do." Yu Donghua said.
"I heard that people in the city need a nanny." Yu Chunhua said, "If possible, I will do it. Let your brother-in-law see if he can do some security work, at least he can make some money. The child is grown up, and the child's marriage will also require money."
Yu Chunhua couldn't let her child save money to get married, she was afraid that the child would resent her. The couple came from the countryside to the south city, and it would be the best thing if they could find a job.
"You guys should find a job for yourselves," Yu Donghua said, "If possible, don't bother your uncle and his people."
Yu Donghua specifically said these words to Yu Chunhua. The Su family is now very annoyed with the Yu family.
"We didn't go to see our uncle and didn't plan to ask him to introduce us to a job," said Yu Chunhua.
"Don't look for my little cousin either." Yu Donghua said.
"No, I haven't looked for one." Yu Chunhua did think that if she really couldn't find a job, she would go to Su Xueqing to see if Su Xueqing could help. Yu Chunhua didn't expect Yu Donghua to say these words directly, so she could only say that she didn't look for one.
"Mom asked my little cousin to borrow money, and she asked for 2,000 yuan. My little cousin thought highly of mom, so she gave her 200 yuan directly. My eldest sister-in-law was still not satisfied, and she had an argument with mom. She pushed mom, and that's why mom became like this." Yu Donghua said, "My eldest sister-in-law blamed my little cousin, and the news spread. My uncle and others were very unhappy."
“……” Yu Chunhua was silent. She had never been to Nancheng before, so she didn’t know about these things.
When Su Xueqing learned that Yu Chunhua and his wife came to Nancheng, she did not invite Yu Chunhua and his wife to her home for dinner. If those things had not happened at the Yu family, perhaps Su Xueqing would have invited Yu Chunhua and his wife to her home for dinner.
When Su Xueqing and her husband were taking a walk together, Su Xueqing told Ning Yanjing about Yu Chunhua's visit to South City.
"Come to think of it, you haven't met cousin Chunhua's man yet." Su Xueqing said.
"Never seen it." Ning Yanjing said.
"Don't mention you. I've only seen him once, and I don't remember what he looks like." Su Xueqing said, "I met him before you and I got married. Over the years, my cousin's husband rarely comes to South City. It's usually Cousin Chunhua who comes to South City by herself. If she comes, she needs the fare. To save money, they don't all come."
When Yu Jiachao got married, Yu Chunhua's husband did not come.
After Yu Chunhua's son came to Nancheng to work, Yu Chunhua and her husband did not come either. Instead, the couple waited until now to come to Nancheng.
"It's really hard to make much money by farming in the countryside," Su Xueqing said. "If they can find a job in the city and get paid, they can still save some money. The couple can rent a house, just one room. Their son lives in the factory dormitory, so they don't need to rent a house."
Su Xueqing had sent some things to Yu Chunhua's son. After all, they were relatives. It was impossible for them not to have met each other once when they came to South City. Yu Chunhua's son seldom went to Su's house. He knew that everything cost money in the city. It was better to go to his uncle's house less often. Going to other people's houses would inevitably cause trouble for others.
"It's difficult to farm in the countryside," said Ning Yanjing.
"Well, I heard that they rented the land to others to grow crops." Su Xueqing said, "They came to the city to work."
"It's OK if we can rent it out." Ning Yanjing said, "Do you want them to come over for dinner?"
"No need." Su Xueqing shook her head. "The Yu family... we don't need to worry about it. Mom and Dad will invite cousin Chunhua to dinner at home, and Mom and Dad can just invite her."
"Okay." Ning Yanjing nodded.
Su Xueqing never liked to let her family trouble Ning Yanjing. She would solve everything she could by herself. It was true that Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were husband and wife, but she was not a helpless person, not a delicate wife who just waited for her husband to help her solve all problems. She was also capable.
The Su Sange and his wife invited Yu Chunhua and his wife to their home for dinner, and also invited Su Xiao's aunt. Su's father simply asked Yu Jiachao and Yu Donghua to come, and as for Yu Guochao, forget it. Yu Guochao listened to Yu Dasao's words and asked Yu Guochao and his wife to come, and the couple would only take advantage.
As for who Su's father wanted to invite to the house, Su Sange and his wife had no objection, they just cooked more dishes. Su Sange and his wife didn't care about the Yu family's affairs. When they saw Su's father calling Yu Chunhua and others to the front, Su Sange simply went to the kitchen.
"You only have one mother." Father Su looked at his nephew and niece, "Chunhua, you have come to South City and live in South City. If you have time, go and see your mother. Donghua, you still have to work harder and take care of your mother more."
