After entering the house, Yun Muye put down his luggage and called Yun Jianguo back.
"Dad, my mom is here."
"That's good. Your mother, at such an old age, ran away from home. That's outrageous!"
Yun Muye advised, "Please give in to her and coax her well. Don't make her angry. She's so tired taking care of the children every day. Please give her a hand."
"I don't work? Who earns money at home? I don't earn the money for hiring a nanny. I'm already old, not young anymore. It's shameful to coax her!"
Yun Muye: "Then don't blame her for running away."
"Where else could she go but to you!"
Yun Jianguo sighed, "Alright, I feel relieved knowing she's safe. Let's hang up!"
Yun Muye put down the phone, and Li Yuling came over and said sarcastically:
"What were you talking about with that old man? He scolded me again! Stinky old man!"
Yun Muye pinched his brows and said, "Mom, my dad and Lang Qian were out looking for you all night that night. They were very worried about you. I had to let them know you were safe."
"What the hell! The older one makes me angry, and the younger one makes me angry too. I've been married to your family for over 30 years. When I was young, I was bullied by my mother-in-law. Now that I'm old, I'm bullied by my children. What kind of life is this for me?"
Li Yuling sat on the sofa and cried with her head down in grievance. Yun Muye remained silent. His parents were arguing, and it was wrong for him to persuade either side. He was caught in the middle and felt very awkward.
Gu Zhinian and Yunshuang were cooking in the kitchen, and Xiao Tangyuan was tearing vegetable leaves nearby.
Yun Shuang looked towards the living room distressedly.
"It must be my dad who made my mom angry. He's a very chauvinistic man and can't let go of his pride. He obviously cares about my mom, but he always says hurtful things."
Gu Zhinian waved his hand, called Xiao Tangyuan over, and whispered something in his ear.
"Baby, grandma is unhappy, go comfort her and hug her."
"good."
Little Tangyuan nodded seriously, put down the vegetable leaves and ran out, throwing himself into Li Yuling's arms, wiping away her tears with his little hands.
"Don't cry, grandma. Be good. Little Tangyuan will always be with you. When I grow up, I will find you several companions to keep you company and make you happy every day."
"Hahaha... my eldest grandson is so filial!" Li Yuling burst into laughter and hugged little Tangyuan tightly, putting her face close to his.
"My eldest grandson is still the most filial. None of them are as good as him!"
Little Tangyuan was also very happy. He looked at Yun Muye proudly in his grandmother's arms. Finding a companion was indeed a happy thing, except for his father.
Although he didn't understand what a companion was, in his heart, finding a companion was the same as finding a friend to play with.
Yun Muye raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Tangyuan, and was speechless again.
This kid... is too filial. He wants to find a stepfather for his biological father, and he has found several.
Yun Shuang and Gu Zhi Nian also smiled at each other. Yun Shuang kept cooking and joked:
"Sister-in-law, who does little Tangyuan take after? You and my brother are both very reserved, but our little Tangyuan is lively and cheerful, and loves to talk and laugh."
Gu Zhinian smiled faintly, "Maybe two negatives equal a positive."
Yun Muye walked into the kitchen and stood behind Gu Zhinian.
"What are you talking about?"
"Little glutinous rice balls." Gu Zhinian turned around and smiled.
Yun Muye took the dish from her hand.
"Let me cook, you two go out and play for a while."
After Yun Shuang finished cooking a dish, she put it on a plate. Yun Muye took the pot, washed it clean, and continued cooking.
Yunshuang and Gu Zhinian walked to the living room and chatted with Li Yuling. Li Yuling suddenly remembered that there was a red envelope prepared for her daughter-in-law in her bag.
She took out her handbag and pulled out a few red envelopes, the big one for Gu Zhinian,
"Zhi Nian, this is the red envelope that Mom prepared for you, please accept it."
Gu Zhinian turned his head to look at the kitchen, Yun Muye was cooking on high fire, then turned his head to look at Xiao Tangyuan, blinking his big eyes at the big red envelope,
She loves both the big and small one very much, because Yun Muye exists because of her mother-in-law, and she calls them mom, which is right.
Gu Zhinian took a deep breath, smiled and shouted,
"Thank you, Mom."
Li Yuling held her hand in surprise and said, "Okay, good girl, Mom will love you in the future."
Gu Zhinian held the big red envelope in his hand and nodded shyly.
"Hey, where's my red envelope?"
Little Tangyuan smiled and stretched out his little hand. Li Yuling smiled and pinched his little face.
"My eldest grandson is indispensable."
She took out two small red envelopes, one for Xiao Tangyuan and one for Yunshuang.
Yunshuang was surprised that she actually got a red envelope. It was such a pleasant surprise.
The little glutinous rice balls received the red envelope and put their two little fleshy hands together to bow.
"Thank you, grandma. I wish you happiness every day and find a companion every day."
"Hahaha..." The three women burst into laughter.
Yun Muye heard the laughter, turned his head to look at the living room, shook his head and smiled, thinking that the brat must have said some nonsense again.
“It’s time to eat!”
Yun Muye brought the dishes to the table, and Yun Shuang and Gu Zhinian helped to serve the dishes, taking bowls and chopsticks.
With the little dumplings around, the family ate their meal with laughter and joy.
After dinner, Yun Muye cleaned up the kitchen and rushed to the training ground. He only took half a day off.
The three women sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting until little Tangyuan felt sleepy. Gu Zhinian carried him back to the room for a nap, and Li Lingyu looked at Yunshuang.
"I heard that your brother is looking for a partner for you. What do you think? Do you like her? Bring her back one day and let me see her. If she's suitable, we can get married."
Yun Shuang lowered her head and fiddled with her hair. "Mom, I haven't made up my mind yet. Nowadays, people tend to marry and have children later. I'm only twenty years old, so there's no rush."
Li Yuling advised:
"Mom doesn't mean you have to get married right now. You have to get along with each other and get to know each other better. Don't be like us back then, where we got married blindly. How many of us were happy? We just had to endure it."
Yunshuang didn't say anything again, Li Yuling sighed,
"Some other day, ask your brother to invite that young man to dinner, and Mom will give you some approval."
Yun Shuang stopped her, "Don't! Mom, what are you doing? You're making me feel like I can't get married and I'm just paying for it."
"Who said my daughter can't get married!" Li Yuling said again,
"Mom isn't forcing you. I just want to get to know the man better. We can choose from a wider range of options and pick the right one. For a woman, marriage is like a second life. If she doesn't marry the right man, her life is ruined. Liking someone is important, but being right is even more important. To get married, you have to be right. Of course, if you like someone and they're both right, then everyone is happy."
Yunshuang nodded.
"I see. The person my brother introduced to me is called Shen Huaian. He's a military doctor. We talked about him last time. Both his parents are doctors. His family is well-off. He has an older sister who's already married."
Li Yuling smiled with satisfaction. "That's a good option. What about the person? Is he good-looking? Is he tall? This is also very important. It will influence the next generation."
Yun Shuang nodded helplessly, "Gao, tall and handsome, definitely your type."
