"Okay, I'm not going anywhere today, I'll just stay home and rest."
Yue Jiuyue smiled and agreed.
Yue Jiuyue wouldn't refuse her "son's" kindness. Although the balance in the mall wasn't enough for her to be a lazy bum, she accepted her "son's" filial piety. She didn't want to be a mother who "liked to eat fish heads."
When Lin Chaodong heard Yue Jiuyue agree, his face lit up with surprise and delight.
He was prepared that no matter how many times he tried to persuade his mother, she would still do whatever she wanted. Unexpectedly, this time, his mother actually agreed. He felt a great sense of accomplishment as her son, especially as the eldest son!
This shows that he has grown up and his mother believes that he can support the family and take on the responsibility, which is why his mother agreed without hesitation.
How could he not be happy?!
Although Yue Jiuyue didn't quite understand what made Lin Chaodong happy, she knew she had made the right decision when she saw him smile.
This way, Lin Chaodong would be happy, and he could also get a good day off – a win-win situation.
The only drawback is that the balance in the mall doesn't increase because of her "son's" filial piety; it just keeps decreasing.
After seeing off her three "eldest sons," Yue Jiuyue went back to her room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes, intending to go to sleep.
She seemed to fall asleep quickly, but she could clearly hear the sounds Liu Shi and Xiao Man were making outside. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't, which made her feel that there were really supernatural events, such as ghosts pressing on her bed.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard someone come to her house again. The person's voice was incredibly loud and rude, as if they weren't a guest and were more comfortable than at home.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The knocking was loud and heavy, almost like someone was banging on the door.
"Daman! Open the door right now! I'm already here, and you still have the nerve to stay inside and sleep? When did I raise such a wretched old woman like you! Open the door right now!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Whether it was the loud banging on the door or the loud voice of the old lady outside, Yue Jiuyue snapped out of her dazed state.
After waking up, Yue Jiuyue put the bed back into her spatial storage, but she didn't immediately get up to open the door.
Honestly, she was quite intimidated by the man outside, even without looking at him.
She'd rather fight a man, even if it leaves her covered in injuries, than waste time arguing with that guy outside.
She was certain that even ten of her wouldn't be a match for that person outside.
Moreover, she has a natural superior status—she is her mother.
Yes, that fierce old lady outside is the original owner's mother who never visits unless there's a reason!
In the original owner's memory, this old lady was extremely sexist, favoring sons over daughters. Anything dirty or smelly belonged to her daughters, while all the good food and useful items went to her sons. Her sons were the apple of their eye, while her daughters were not even worth as much as roadside weeds.
The original owner's personality was similar to that of Liu Shi. That was because her mother favored boys over girls and kept saying things like, "Your younger brother is the root of the Yue family, and everything belongs to your younger brother," and "You should treat your younger brother better after you get married so that he can support you in the future." Children don't have any values; they just believe whatever adults say.
The original owner was able to change because her husband was gone, she was kicked out by her mother-in-law, her younger brother didn't support her, her maternal family didn't care about her, and she still had a son to raise. She was forced to change, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to survive.
