Chapter 158 Didn’t you bring your children here at the right time?
"Indeed, today's announcement is just the right time." Xu Ruyun said, "With so many guests here, and even reporters here, it's a good time. It's really good, and maybe it can even boost the company's business."
Xu Ruyun couldn't say that this was not a good time. It was so good now. So many people knew about it, and it was a big surprise for everyone. Others would also think that the marriage between the Yan family and the Song family was more solid. It would not be easy for Yan Mingkang to find a partner who could compare to the Song family girl.
Although Xu Ruyun has been Yan Yichen's wife for so many years, there are still many things she can't do well. Those noble ladies are polite to her on the surface, but in fact, they still look down on Xu Ruyun. In the eyes of those people, Xu Ruyun's family background is too poor. Even if Xu Ruyun works hard, others still think that Xu Ruyun is not strong enough.
Today's incident dealt Xu Ruyun a heavy blow, making her realize that Yan Yichen was not just being cautious about her. Xu Ruyun's position in Yan Yichen's heart was not as high as she had imagined.
"It's hard to tell others about something that hasn't been confirmed." Yan Yichen said, "Mom announced it to make her happy. With Mingde around, Mom's situation is much better than before. Mom is not as noisy as before she went abroad. After Mingde and his wife got married, they still lived with Mom."
Yan Yichen was afraid that Yan's mother would make the daughter of the Song family unhappy, so giving her more shares could also appease Yan's mother and his daughter-in-law.
"Mingde has lived with Mom for many years, and there is no problem for him to continue living with her now." Xu Ruyun said, "I think Mingde knows how to coax Mom."
"Mingde understands mom." Yan Yichen said, "Mingde has done a great job."
"..." Seeing that Yan Yichen was so satisfied with Yan Mingde, Xu Ruyun couldn't help but wonder whether Yan Yichen was satisfied with Yan Mingde himself, or satisfied that Yan Mingde appeased Yan's mother, or was satisfied with the Song family.
Before, Xu Ruyun always thought that her daughter and youngest son were too naive. Now she thinks that she is also quite naive. Many things did not develop as she expected. She took things for granted, which led to her setbacks.
"You can rest assured that Mingde is like this." Yan Yichen said, "Fortunately, he didn't grow crooked. We, the Yan family, still need to grow better."
"No, he's not crooked..." Xu Ruyun thought to herself, who knows whether Yan Mingde is crooked or not. Xu Ruyun only knew that her plan was going to fail. No, no, she must not let Yan Mingde inherit the company, she must let Yan Mingkang inherit the company.
Only if Yan Mingkang inherits the company will Yan Mingkang respect her more in the future.
Xu Ruyun lay on the bed, she closed her eyes, she was thinking about what she had lived for after her rebirth. It was all her fault that her family background was not good enough, and she was too dependent on Yan Yichen. What kind of strong woman was she? She was just a dodder that relied on a man, but she tried hard to bloom and grow up, making herself think that she was a vine or a shrub. In fact, she was essentially a delicate wife who depended on a man.
But if Xu Ruyun didn't marry Yan Yichen at that time, she wouldn't have owned more company shares, and Yan Yichen could have kicked her out at any time. Xu Ruyun is a weak woman, and her designs are not irreplaceable. She knows that her designs are not unique and can be easily imitated by others, so she chose Yan Yichen's.
Xu Ruyun turned her body sideways and a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
This is her own choice, she can't blame anyone else.
Xu Ruyun thought that it was she who made Yan Mingde become what he is now. When she married Yan Yichen, they both knew that they didn't love each other deeply, but just wanted benefits. At this time, Xu Ruyun couldn't say that Yan Yichen had no feelings for her. If she had something to say, she couldn't say too much. If she said too much, the relationship between the couple would only get worse.
The next day, Yan Yanran came to see Xu Ruyun, but Xu Ruyun did not go to work. Yan Yichen went to the company as usual. In fact, Yan Yichen did not need to go to the company today, as it was the weekend, but Yan Yichen went to the company instead of staying at home.
"Dad went to the company?" Yan Yanran asked.
"Yes, I went to the company." After a night, Xu Ruyun had adjusted her mindset and stopped herself from arguing so much with Yan Yichen.
Yan Yichen's shares belong to Yan Yichen, and he can give them to anyone he wants. Xu Ruyun can't take it for granted that Yan Yichen's shares belong to Yan Mingkang, and she can't think that Yan Yichen will discuss those things with her.
"Mom..." Yan Yanran looked at her mother carefully, observing her mother's expression, "Yesterday...Mom, you..."
Yan Yanran looked around, and Xu Ruyun simply took Yan Yanran to the room to talk. They were talking in the living room, and it was indeed possible that the servants at home could hear them.
Xu Ruyun closed the door and signaled Yan Yanran to speak more quietly.
"Mom, didn't Dad discuss this with you before?" Yan Yanran asked.
"Those are your father's shares." Xu Ruyun said, "I can't make the decision."
"Ah." Yan Yanran opened her eyes wide, looking very shocked.
"Now you know, there are many things between your father and your mother that are not told to each other." Xu Ruyun said.
"Mom, are you sad?" Yan Yanran asked.
"It doesn't matter whether you are sad or not." Xu Ruyun said, "Now it depends on your brother Mingkang. Your father said that he will give your brother 2% of the shares first."
"I will have 2% of the shares when I get married..." Yan Yanran said.
"Your father means that your brother hasn't gotten married yet, so give him this first. When your brother gets married, give him a little more." Xu Ruyun said.
"When Mingkang gets married, will Dad give him those shares? I'm afraid he won't be able to give him those shares by then." Yan Yanran said, "Mom, didn't you ask Dad to transfer them first?"
"No, your dad won't listen to me." Xu Ruyun said, "If your dad works more now, he won't be willing to work more when your brother gets married."
Yan Yichen must have enough shares in his hands and cannot distribute all of his shares. He is still alive and strong. It doesn't mean that he can't move or do anything.
"You have to find a suitable partner for your brother." Xu Ruyun said, "If you see someone suitable, introduce them to your brother."
"A family like the Song family... may not be easy to find." Yan Yanran said, "In our family... the main heir is only one."
This is what Yan Yanran's husband told her. Her husband said that Yan Mingde had already won half the battle by finding a wife with such a good family background. It would not be easy for Yan Mingkang to find another girl with such a good family background.
"It's hard to find, but we have to try." Xu Ruyun said, "Find something lower, but not too low. It would be best if..."
"What's the best?" Yan Yanran asked.
"Forget it." Xu Ruyun originally wanted to find a woman who could work in a company, but if that were the case, she was afraid that Yan Yichen would be unhappy again.
Yan Yichen doesn't want to be controlled by a woman, nor does he want his heir to be controlled by a woman. A woman who is too strong can help the company, but other things may also happen.
The relationship between Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen was fragile to begin with, and now it was even more fragile. However, they still maintained a superficial harmony with each other. It was impossible for them to fall out with each other, as it would not be good for anyone.
Not only Yan Yanran came to ask Xu Ruyun these things, but Xu's mother also came to ask.
Xu's mother has always known that Xu Ruyun wanted Yan Mingkang to inherit the family property instead of Yan Mingde. In this situation, Yan Mingde has the upper hand, and he has obtained so many shares at once, and with the support of the Song family, I am afraid that Yan Mingde will become even more powerful in the future.
Xu Ruyun took her mother out to eat, and the two talked in the private room.
"Or, let Mingkang..."
"Mom." Xu Ruyun interrupted her mother. She knew what she was going to say, but she couldn't help but argue, "My mother-in-law is so proud."
"Your mother-in-law is your husband's biological mother after all." Xu's mother said, "I'm afraid... it will be difficult for you to defeat her."
"How can we know if we don't try?" Xu Ruyun said, "My goal is not to defeat her. I just want Mingkang to inherit the Yan family. Mingkang is Yan Yichen's biological son, not my son with anyone else."
"That's true, but... my son-in-law seems to be..."
"It's not the end yet, and we don't know the final result yet." Xu Ruyun said, "Everything can still change. Mom, you don't have to worry so much. I bought some houses and shops. With these real estate, even if I fail, it won't matter. At worst, I can let Mingkang start a new business."
After Yan Yichen gave Yan Mingde shares without consulting Xu Ruyun, Xu Ruyun had this idea. Xu Ruyun was worried that Yan Yichen would not give Yan Mingkang a company. If Yan Yichen did not give it, then let Yan Mingkang start a company by himself, and Xu Ruyun could start a business with her youngest son.
Yan Yichen stood on Yan Mingde's side, and Xu Ruyun stood on Yan Mingkang's side, so Yan Mingde still got the upper hand.
"It's not that easy to start a new business?" Xu's mother said, "The Yan family has so much property, and my son-in-law..."
"Mom," Xu Ruyun said, "I know what kind of person Yan Yichen is. Don't say those things in front of him. This matter is difficult to discuss."
"Okay, I won't tell you, I won't tell you." Mother Xu said, "I'm just telling you this in front of you, I don't dare to tell him."
Xu's mother was afraid of offending Yan Yichen, so she would usually ask her daughter first. If her daughter said she couldn't tell them, she wouldn't tell them.
"Your second brother still lives alone." Mother Xu looked at Xu Ruyun.
"Whether he wants to live alone or remarry, it's up to him." Xu Ruyun said, "As long as he remarries in a proper manner, no one will say anything about him."
"He didn't think about remarrying, he only thought about remarrying." said Xu's mother.
"Don't." Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, don't say this in front of my second sister-in-law. My second sister-in-law has done very well. It's my second brother who is too immoral. Since my second brother has done those things, don't think about turning back. You can't turn back. After a while, you say this, are you thinking that I will be soft-hearted? I won't be soft-hearted, and I can't persuade my second sister-in-law. I still call her my second sister-in-law because she does a good job."
Xu Ruyun really thinks Yu Li is good. If she were to replace her with someone else, they might not be as good as Yu Li.
"Your second sister-in-law used to... she had a high degree, so sometimes she was inevitably a little arrogant, she..."
"Mom," Xu Ruyun said, "That's not being superior, that's her pride. She's a top student at South City University, how can she not be proud? Besides, others just said it, and you guys. It's just a very normal thing for her, she didn't mean anything else, and she didn't say it deliberately, she just said it once in a while, and you think she's superior. When my second brother was with my second sister-in-law, he even boasted that his wife was a top student at South City University. Now, it doesn't make sense to say that she's superior."
Xu Ruyun knew that Xu's mother wanted to make amends for Xu's second brother and wanted Xu Ruyun to persuade Yu Li.
"Put aside your thoughts." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't I know what you are thinking? Don't I know what my second sister-in-law knows? They all know, but they just don't say it out loud."
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, Amelia Su lived in Teacher Yang's house after remarrying. Teacher Yang's house was in the same community as Wei Yaozu and his wife's house, so it was convenient for them to travel between the two sides. Wei Yaozu and his wife did not let Amelia Su come to their house, and Wang Keke did not let Amelia Su help take care of the children.
Wang Keke was worried that Amelia Su would secretly pinch the child, so she couldn’t let Amelia Su take care of the child. Teacher Yang’s children originally wanted to send the child over, but Teacher Yang remarried, so they didn’t send it.
The Yang family is not stupid. Wei Yaozu and his wife did not send the child over, nor did they let Amelia Su help take care of the child, which shows that Amelia Su is not a person who will treat the child well. Amelia Su can be bad to her own granddaughter. If the Yang family sends the child over, I am afraid that the child will suffer when Teacher Yang is not around.
As a result, the Yang family felt that Amelia Su was not good, and their father should not marry Amelia Su. But now saying these words is useless, Amelia Su and Teacher Yang are already married.
When Wei Shanshan gave the New Year gift, she went to Su Yamei's place. Su Yamei wanted Teacher Yang to transfer the house to her name, but Teacher Yang did not agree. Su Yamei thought that it was okay not to transfer the house to her, but Teacher Yang could buy her a smaller house, but Teacher Yang still did not agree. This made Su Yamei very unhappy. Teacher Yang was not at home, so Su Yamei talked to Wei Shanshan about buying a house.
"Do you want Teacher Yang to buy it for you, or do you want me and Yaozu to buy it for you? Does your precious son have so much money? Will he agree?" Wei Shanshan said, "Even if he agrees, I don't have the money."
"Buy a smaller house." Amelia Su said, "It's not a very big one."
"That won't work either." Wei Shanshan said, "You're married to Teacher Yang, and if you buy a house now and it's in your name, it'll be hard to say who will own the house if something happens to you in the future. It's fine if you let Teacher Yang buy it for you, but if you want me and Yaozu to buy it for you, forget it."
Wei Shanshan was speechless. Amelia Su was calculating this and that all day long without considering whether others had the money.
"Yaozu still has to pay the mortgage, and he has a child." Wei Shanshan said, "The child needs milk powder, and he needs to go to school, so there are many things to spend money on. As a grandmother, you don't help a little bit, and you still ask your younger brothers and sisters to pay for it at this time. Is that appropriate?"
"I really can't rely on you." Su Yamei heard this and really couldn't let Wei Shanshan and the others buy a house in her name at this time. She still had to try to get it from Teacher Yang. It would be best if Teacher Yang bought her a small house. If not, let Teacher Yang make a will. If Teacher Yang died first, he had to give this house to her so that she could live there until she was old. "I still have to rely on myself."
"Then you just need to rely more on yourself." Wei Shanshan really didn't want to take care of those messy things. She didn't get any benefits, and she still had to clean up a mess. Who would be willing to deal with these things?
When Wei Shanshan went to Amelia Su, she briefly talked about Amelia Su. Wei Shanshan knew that Amelia Su said that Wei Yaozu and his wife should not attend Su's father's birthday banquet, and she also knew a lot of other things, but Wei Shanshan couldn't come to apologize to her aunt on behalf of her own mother every time, and her aunt couldn't always listen to her words.
"I told her that Yaozu and I don't have the money to buy her a house." Wei Shanshan said, "She is now worried that she will have no place to live when she gets old."
"You're right." Su Xueqing said, "If she hadn't remarried, you could have bought her a smaller house, and that wouldn't have been a problem. But she has remarried, and her remarried partner has several children. If you really buy a house at this time, you won't be able to tell them apart in the future. You're on guard against them, and they're on guard against you."
Amelia Su and Teacher Yang were both so old that when they got married, their children were basically married and even had children. Under such circumstances, the children on both sides naturally worried about the property issue, and they didn't want others to take away the property that should belong to them.
"That's what I told my mother," Wei Shanshan said. "She said she couldn't rely on us, but on herself. She meant that if she remarried, we would have less to worry about. But she still asked me to give her living expenses every month. Yaozu didn't continue to pay rent, but she didn't force Yaozu and his wife to pay."
It is estimated that Amelia Su herself was also worried that the money would fall into the hands of the Yang family. Amelia Su only had one precious son, so of course she would still consider Wei Yaozu more and did not let Wei Yaozu continue to pay.
Amelia Su disliked her granddaughter, but she still asked Teacher Yang to buy some things for the child, such as a can of milk powder and two pieces of clothes for the child... Amelia Su thought that she didn't have to pay for it herself, and it was okay for Teacher Yang to spend a little money. Wang Keke and his wife didn't let Amelia Su go over, but Amelia Su could still see the child downstairs in the community, and Wang Keke and his wife always took the child over.
Amelia Su did that because she wanted others to know that she cared about her children and that she did not care about her granddaughter. Amelia Su was used to doing these superficial things just to make others say good things about her.
"Yaozu and his wife have to get up very early in the morning to do things. Fortunately, my sister-in-law stays at home to make breakfast, so she can watch the children more." Wei Shanshan said, "If there is anything that needs to be done at the breakfast shop, Yaozu can still do it. When it's time to set up the stall, my sister-in-law takes the children to the breakfast shop, and Yaozu goes to set up the stall. They can still live a normal life."
"You are very close to them." Su Xueqing said, "After all, they are siblings."
Su Xueqing didn't say that Wei Shanshan couldn't do that, nor did she say that Wei Shanshan shouldn't say those words in front of her. Wei Shanshan probably felt that Wei Yaozu had changed, so she thought of talking more about Wei Yaozu and Wang Keke in front of the elders, hoping that everyone would change their views of Wei Yaozu and his wife.
Su Yanan's attitude towards Wei Yaozu and his wife was better, while Su Xueqing's attitude towards them was very indifferent. Regardless of whether Wei Yaozu and his wife were good or not, Su Xueqing thought it had little to do with her.
Amelia Su is not Su Yanan, she doesn't care that much about family affection. Su Yanan and Amelia Su grew up together, and Su Yanan herself pays more attention to family affection, so she pays more attention to Wei Yaozu and his wife than Amelia Su.
Wei Yaozu and his wife sell breakfast, and Tian Caixia runs a cake shop. Su Yanan can also better understand the difficulties faced by Wei Yaozu and his wife.
It was difficult for Su Xueqing to do anything she wanted, and it was not easy for Ning Wenjun to manage the company. It was just that others thought that Ning Wenjun was the heir to a big company and had a lot of money, so they thought that Ning Wenjun's life was much easier.
"Auntie..." Wei Shanshan looked at Su Xueqing, "Did I say too much?"
"It's okay." Su Xueqing said, "He's your own brother. It's nothing if you say a few words. If you don't say anything, it's not like you."
Wei Shanshan has been with Su's father and mother for many years. She was greatly influenced by Su's mother, so she naturally wanted to pay attention to family affection. If Wei Yaozu had not changed, Wei Shanshan would not be so close to Wei Yaozu. Wei Yaozu changed, and Wang Keke knew how to ease the relationship between relatives, so Wei Shanshan and Wei Yaozu naturally became closer.
Siblings are siblings after all, this is something that cannot be disputed.
Wei Yaozu and his wife did not cause any trouble for Wei Shanshan and did not ask her to make more efforts, so Wei Shanshan was happy.
"You should get closer to your brothers and sisters, and no one will say anything bad about you." Su Xueqing said, "Auntie can't say anything bad about you either. You have your relatives, and it doesn't matter if you want to get closer to them. Don't think that if you get close to them, we will feel uncomfortable. That's not the case."
Su Xueqing and the others rarely come into contact with Wei Shanshan, and Wei Shanshan doesn't come to Su Xueqing's place every month. Wei Shanshan has to work, sometimes even at night, and she is usually quite busy and doesn't go around. A person only has a little time to rest, and if Wei Shanshan runs around, how hard it would be.
"Aunt." Wei Shanshan's eyes were slightly red.
"Do what you think is right, do what you want to do." Su Xueqing said, "You don't need to think so much. You are not a three-year-old child, you are already a mother. Even if it is your biological mother, your biological mother cannot decide who you get close to."
"Aunt..." Wei Shanshan thought of some of the things Su's mother said when she was alive. Su's mother always asked Wei Shanshan to help Su Yamei more in the future, saying that Su Yamei gave Wei Shanshan living expenses and tuition fees...
At that time, Wei Shanshan didn't want to hear these words at all, she felt very irritated. Now thinking about it, Wei Shanshan still listened to those words.
Wei Shanshan sometimes wondered if she was getting close to people like Wei Yaozu again, whether she was going astray, whether she was doing too much. Wei Shanshan told herself that she couldn't help Wei Yaozu too much. It was okay to just go over and take a look, but if she wanted to lend him money or something like that, that wouldn't work.
Fortunately, Wei Yaozu did not ask Wei Shanshan for money. When Wei Yaozu was speculating in stocks, he also mortgaged his house first. At that time, the relationship between Wei Yaozu and Wei Shanshan was very bad. Wei Shanshan rarely went to see Amelia Su. Amelia Su had the demolition money, and she was afraid that Wei Shanshan would go to share the money, so Wei Shanshan was unwilling to go there more often.
After the Wei family went bankrupt, Wei Yaozu corrected himself and that's when Wei Shanshan started to interact more frequently with him.
Wei Shanshan likes the change in Wei Yaozu, and also likes Wang Keke, her younger sister. Wang Keke is a very sensible person, she knows how to ease the relationship with relatives, and she doesn't think about borrowing money from relatives, borrowing money hurts the relationship, so it's better to avoid those things.
In this way, the relationship between Wei Shanshan and Wei Yaozu will naturally be much better.
"Let's have lunch here at noon." Su Xueqing said.
"No, I'll go back first." Wei Shanshan said.
"Okay, then let's go back first." Su Xueqing did not try to keep Wei Shanshan.
After Wei Shanshan left, Ning Wenjun came down from upstairs. Ning Wenjun had just heard some of Wei Shanshan's words, and she felt that Wei Shanshan was still eager for family affection.
"Sister Shanshan still hopes to have relatives and hopes that they can treat her well." Ning Wenjun said, "Sister Shanshan lacked love when she was very young. Even though her grandma and grandpa treated her well, she still felt that something was missing."
"She lived in your uncle's house at the time. Your uncle and aunt treated her well, but she still felt like she was living under someone else's roof." Su Xueqing said, "It's hard for others to understand this feeling."
"I just can't relate to it." Ning Wenjun said, "I know that something like this will happen, but I can't empathize with it."
"Your sister Shanshan knows her limits. She won't make her life a mess by getting close to her brothers and sisters." Su Xueqing said, "For her, her brother has changed for the better, so it's okay for them to contact each other more. As long as your sister Shanshan doesn't suffer any loss, that's fine. They still have a mother, and they need to provide for her in her old age. All of this must be discussed between them. Shanshan has been taught by your grandmother to be filial to her since she was a child. No matter how bad your mother has done, she is still your mother."
Su's mother instilled a lot of filial piety concepts into Wei Shanshan, just to make Wei Shanshan more filial to Amelia Su. Su's mother calculated a lot for Amelia Su, and when Wei Shanshan was very young, she kept whispering those words in Wei Shanshan's ears, so that Wei Shanshan would remember those words in her heart.
"We are your aunt's relatives after all. We are related to your aunt first, and then to Shanshan." Su Xueqing said, "Your aunt always said that we took care of Shanshan because of her. Your grandma also said the same thing to Shanshan..."
Amelia Su values Wei Shanshan herself more, but she did pay attention to Wei Shanshan because of Amelia Su. If Wei Shanshan was not Amelia Su's biological daughter, perhaps Amelia Su would not have paid attention to Wei Shanshan so quickly, and would not necessarily do the things that followed.
Wei Shanshan herself would also think that after Wei Yaozu changed, she naturally became close to him.
"Even though they are siblings, they are still different." Su Xueqing said.
"I'm an only child." Ning Wenjun said, "Mom, if you had given me another child, maybe I would have felt it."
"If you have one more child, can you still be the heir of the company?" Su Xueqing joked, "How many families have to sideline their daughters when they have sons."
This is the cruel reality of life. Su Xueqing knew that if she had another son, Ning Wenjun would inherit some shares of the company, but it would not be possible to inherit as much as it is now. Ning Wenjun could not be trained as the heir of the company. Ning Wenjun might be like Yan Yanran and Ning Jiaxuan, finding a suitable person to marry at the right age, holding some real estate and a few shares, waiting for dividends and rent.
When a son is born, parents will ask less of their daughters and say that they want their daughters to live a happier life. In fact, this means removing their daughters from the position of heirs, not letting them have the idea of snatching the position of heirs, and instilling in their daughters the idea of marrying into a good family, allowing them to marry into a good family, and allowing them to help their sons in the future.
"Even if your mother had really given birth to a second child, your father and his family would still have found a way to keep me in this unit." Su Xueqing said, "There are many ways to avoid the punishment for having a second child. However, we didn't think about having another child. Having a daughter like you is enough, and we just need to treat you well."
Su Xueqing and her husband didn't want Ning Wenjun to be treated unfairly. "When you were very young, someone said that your father and I would not have any more children, and that your cousin would inherit the company. Your father said no, and that the company would be inherited by you. If you have one more child, your treatment will be much worse."
Ning Wenjun thought about Yan Yanran, then thought about herself, and decided that it was better for her to be like this.
"Mom." Ning Wenjun hugged Su Xueqing's neck, "You are still the best."
"I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you." Su Xueqing said, "If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
When she was young, many people urged Su Xueqing to have another child. Even Su's mother asked Su Xueqing several times whether she should have another child. Those people wanted Su Xueqing to have another son. If she had another daughter, others would urge her.
Su Xueqing gave birth to a daughter and did not have any more children. When others urged her to do so, Ning Yanjing told those people that he had a sterilization. Were they trying to encourage his wife to have an affair?
With Ning Yanjing leading the way, Su Xueqing's life became a little easier.
"What about you? Do you want to have another child?" Su Xueqing asked.
"That... is not certain yet." Ning Wenjun said, "Even if I want to give birth, I have to wait a few years, not now. I just gave birth to Xiao Yifan. If I continue to give birth, my body will be damaged. I am not a sow."
"That's right, don't rush to have children." Su Xueqing said, "If you want to continue to have children, it's okay. Your father is still strong and can still manage the company."
"You're still talking." Ning Wenjun said, "Dad really wants me to take care of you more so that he can accompany you."
"When it's his turn to take care of something, he should still take care of it," Su Xueqing said.
"Mom..." Ning Wenjun hesitated for a while, "You are so good to Sister Shanshan. Shanshan is so good to Wei Yaozu and the others now. Do you feel sad? Do you think it's not worth it?"
"How can it not be worth it?" Su Xueqing said, "Is Shanshan independent now? Doesn't she always give money to her brother?"
"Yeah." Ning Wenjun nodded, "She is independent now, and she doesn't always help her brother."
"Isn't that enough?" Su Xueqing said, "People live in this society, and sometimes it's inevitable that there will be all kinds of things. We can't be too harsh on others. From a legal point of view, Shanshan really has to give her mother pension money."
Su Xueqing has always understood that she never thought that Wei Shanshan was wrong to give Su Yamei retirement money, nor did she think that Wei Shanshan was wrong to get close to Wei Yaozu and his wife. Su Xueqing is only Wei Shanshan's aunt, not Wei Shanshan's adoptive mother. People must know their limits, and can't always want to control this and that, making others unhappy, and in the end, making yourself unhappy.
Since Amelia Su married Teacher Yang, the couple of course spent the New Year at home. If Teacher Yang didn't spend the New Year with Amelia Su, his children would come over to spend the New Year with him, but now, Teacher Yang's children don't plan to go over during the New Year. Those people treat Amelia Su as an outsider, and with Amelia Su around, they can't spend the New Year well.
Those people couldn't ask Amelia Su to celebrate the New Year with Wei Yaozu and his wife. It was impossible for Wei Yaozu and his wife to let Amelia Su go over to celebrate the New Year. Wei Yaozu and his wife didn't let Amelia Su in, and it was the same during the New Year.
After Amelia Su heard Teacher Yang say that his children would not come to celebrate the New Year, she was not unhappy, but quite happy.
"If they don't come, we can celebrate the New Year together and eat together." Amelia Su said, "If they come, there will be so many mouths to feed, and we will have to prepare a lot of things. You are already old, how tiring it is."
"They will bring some things." Teacher Yang said.
"What's the point of bringing some things?" Amelia Su said, "They also think that they are here to accompany you for the New Year, and you should be happy. Children are like that. They think that whatever they do is right. They come here to accompany their parents and regard it as filial piety."
Teacher Yang looked at Amelia Su. He knew that Amelia Su was very talkative and sometimes very mean. But he felt that what Amelia Su said made some sense. What he wanted was for his children to accompany him more, rather than come to see him occasionally.
"They are always like this." Teacher Yang said, "Come over and take a walk when you have time."
"That's why there is the term empty-nest elderly." Amelia Su said, "It's so hard to stay at home alone."
On New Year's Eve, Xu Ruyun and others went to Yan's mother's house to celebrate the New Year as usual. Yan Yichen wanted to go, and Xu Ruyun couldn't say no. Yan's mother was very old, and it was unknown how many years she could live. Yan Yichen always said that he had less and less time to accompany Yan's mother. He rarely went to Yan's mother's house. The less noisy Yan's mother was, the more Yan Yichen cared about her.
Yan Mingde and his wife are very good at putting on a show, and they do everything properly. Yan Mingde's wife looks very filial to Xu Ruyun, and often says something that seems to ease the situation.
Strong, so strong!
This couple is so talented!
They know how to coax Yan's mother, and they also know how to coax Yan Yichen...
"Mom." Yan Mingde called Xu Ruyun.
You should know that Yan Mingde called Xu Ruyun "Mom" less often, but after he got married, he called Xu Ruyun "Mom" more and more often.
Xu Ruyun felt like she was stuck in the mud, and it was hard to get out of it. Xu Ruyun thought she could control the situation, but now it was getting harder and harder to control. Many things were different from what Xu Ruyun thought.
"Mom, please sit down first." Yan Mingde's wife said.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yan's mother did not make a fuss, but instead spoke well of Yan Mingde in front of Yan Yichen.
"Look, you guys didn't care about Mingde before, but Mingde stayed with me, and he still grew up so well." Yan's mother said, "Mingde now knows how to care about you. If it were someone else, they would have resented you a long time ago."
Mother Yan said that on purpose. After she said that, she glanced at Xu Ruyun again.
Xu Ruyun knew that Yan's mother was pointing fingers at her. Was it her who wanted to throw the child to her mother-in-law to take care of? It was clearly Yan's mother who insisted on taking the child away, and she had no other choice. These people only knew how to say this, and Xu Ruyun held back and did not say anything wrong about Yan's mother.
When people get old, it becomes a kind of capital.
Xu Ruyun originally thought that Yan Yichen would not be so kind to Yan's mother. However, after Yan's mother came back from abroad, Yan Yichen sided with Yan's mother more and more. This made Xu Ruyun wonder if Yan Yichen would really listen to Yan's mother and let Yan Mingde inherit the company. If Yan Yichen did not let Yan Mingde inherit the company, he would not have given so many shares at once.
Compared with the Yan family's calculations, Amelia Su and others spent the New Year more easily.
Xiao Yifan was still very young, so Ning Wenjun and Song Yuan had to take better care of the child. It was so cold outside, so Ning Wenjun and his wife didn't run out with the child. The child kept crying, so Song Yuan walked around the living room with the child in his arms, and then looked through the window so that the child could see outside.
"Little kid, do you always like to look outside?" Ning Wenjun asked, "When it's dark, he still wants to look. You have to turn on the light and let him take a look. If he doesn't take a look, he will make a fuss again. Mom, I wasn't so noisy when I was a kid, was I?"
"When you were a kid... you were okay." Su Xueqing said, "You weren't too noisy, so you were pretty good."
Adults who don’t spank may admit that they were naughty when they were young, and they all say that they were more well-behaved than their own children when they were young.
Su Xueqing thought that Ning Wenjun had been noisy when she was a child, but generally speaking, she was fine. Especially after so many years, memories would beautify the past.
"Your father used to say that he didn't make noise when he was a child." Su Xueqing said.
"So, when Xiao Yifan grows up, he will say the same thing." Ning Wenjun said.
"Yes, he would probably say that too." Su Xueqing said.
"I think it's not just us who would say that. Many people would say that," said Ning Wenjun.
"That's true." Su Xueqing nodded, "Everyone likes to say that. No one wants to admit that they have shortcomings. They all think that they are performing well."
"This is normal. I also think I am the best." Ning Wenjun said.
"In the eyes of parents, almost all their children are the best," said Su Xueqing.
Wei Yaozu and his wife locked the door during the Chinese New Year. Wang Keke told Wei Yaozu that Amelia Su could not come over. Fortunately, Amelia Su did not come over. With Teacher Yang, Amelia Su did not need to come over to celebrate the Chinese New Year with Wei Yaozu and his wife. Amelia Su cooked several dishes at home.
"Try my cooking." Amelia Su picked up some food for Teacher Yang.
After the Chinese New Year, Ning Wenjun and his wife went to the Song family, and Yan Mingde and his wife also went there. Yan Mingde did not go to Ning Wenjun to talk much, they were all at Song Yuan's father's place, and the Song family held a big family dinner. Yan Mingde did not talk much with Ning Wenjun, but he talked to Song Yuan, and Yan Mingde's wife went to Ning Wenjun.
"Cousin, didn't you bring your children with you?" asked Song Zi, Yan Mingde's wife.
