Chapter 287 I Can’t Let My Mother Take Care of Me Alone
Zhang Cuihua's face fell when she heard Gu Chongshan praising Dong Wan.
After Dong Wan made this comparison, she, the eldest daughter-in-law, seemed a little inferior.
At this moment, Zhang Cuihua missed Li Yingdi very much. After all, compared with Li Yingdi, she was better than her in every aspect.
"Oh, if you ask me, my second brother's family is really well-off, as they can easily afford such good white rice.
Unlike us, our family is poor, and even if we want to give our mother something good to eat, we can’t afford it.
If you ask me, it would be better for mom and the others to live in the second brother's house. The main reason is that we are clumsy and not as good at taking care of others as my younger siblings.
What do you think, little sister? What do you think about Mom living here?
Actually, sleeping at night is easy. Dad and Gu Bei will sleep in the same room with Zhiwen and the others.
You can share a room with your mother, so it will be more convenient for you to take care of her." Zhang Cuihua felt uncomfortable and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Dong Wan was secretly happy about being praised, but unexpectedly Zhang Cuihua said that she wanted Zhang Dahua to stay in her house and be taken care of by her.
Although she felt a little guilty towards Zhang Dahahua, she was willing to take care of her for a few days.
But it's not okay to let her take care of you alone for a long time.
Caring for a patient is not an easy task.
Cooking and feeding the patients is one thing, but the most important thing is to wipe their feces and urine.
They also have to frequently turn the patient over and change his clothes. These trivial tasks can be very exhausting.
Besides, she is just a concubine, not a proper daughter-in-law.
She was not willing to do such a thankless task. Thinking of this, Dong Wan smiled and said, "Of course I am willing to take care of my mother-in-law, but I still have my sister-in-law at home. I can't stop her from fulfilling her filial piety.
Also, it would be nice if my parents lived at home, and I would be willing to do that. After all, as the old saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure.
I felt confident when my parents came.
However, I am afraid of delaying Zhiwen and Shuanzi. Zhiwen is going to take the exam for the scholar next year, and now is the critical time.
And Shuanzi, I heard that Shuanzi will also be able to play next year.
I was just afraid of delaying the two children.”
Dong Wan’s words made Zhang Cuihua choke. How could she forget that her son Shuanzi was still living in the second brother’s house?
She may not care about anything else, but when it comes to her only son, Zhang Cuihua would rather die than implicate her son.
"What? That's not what I meant, little sister.
"Mom is our mother, how can I let you take care of her?" Zhang Cuihua said embarrassedly.
"Of course I am willing to take care of mother. I am also afraid that the two children will be affected. This is a lifelong matter. We can't let the children be delayed because of us." Dong Wan's words sounded very nice.
"We definitely can't delay the child. Mom, we should take turns to take care of her. Actually, if you ask me, Yingdi can take care of her too.
"We can all rent a house together and let Yingdi live with his parents to take care of them. Otherwise, if his parents move out, it won't be good for Yingdi to be alone in the mountains." Zhang Cuihua immediately thought of Li Yingdi.
"That's fine, but I don't know if you're willing." Dong Wan said hypocritically.
"She will definitely agree, otherwise she will have nowhere to live if she wants to come back," said Zhang Cuihua.
“No, I can’t let my mother take care of it alone.
My grandma doesn't have only my mother as a daughter-in-law, so why should she be the only one to take care of her?" Zhiwen couldn't stand it any longer.
What's wrong with the aunt-in-law? Isn't it obvious that she wants to plot against her mother?
We are all daughters-in-law, why should his mother take care of grandma?
So he didn't care that Zhang Cuihua was his elder and spoke directly.
When Zhang Cuihua said this, she forgot that Zhiwen was also present.
Even Zhang Cuihua, who had a thick skin, couldn't help blushing when she saw someone plotting against her like this in front of her son.
"Um...Zhiwen, Auntie didn't mean it, I just said it casually.
Actually, I say this for your mother's own good. Think about it, if your grandparents move out.
Your mother lives alone in the mountains.
You have also lived in the mountains, so you should know that life must be difficult for a woman in the mountains.
If your mother comes back and there is no room for her in your house, I am thinking of letting her live with your grandparents.
Take care of your grandparents while you're at it." Zhang Cuihua explained quickly.
"Why can't I accommodate my mother when she comes back? If not, I'll move to the academy and let my mother stay in my room.
My mother was married to my father in a formal ceremony. There is no reason why my mother, the original wife, cannot live with my father.
I will also enter the officialdom in the future, so I still have to follow the rules of my family." Zhiwen said while glancing at Dong Wan.
Dong Wan's face turned ugly. She had married Gu Bei because she saw Zhiwen's potential.
Ever since she married Gu Bei, she has been taking good care of Zhiwen, if not completely devoted to him.
Now it seems that if the child is not a biological child, then it won't work. No matter what time it is, the biological mother will always be the most important in the child's heart, and she, an outsider, cannot compare to her.
It’s a pity that Li Yingdi got away with it yesterday. It would have been better if it was Li Yingdi who was poisoned yesterday.
Zhang Cuihua didn't know what to say now.
After all, this is Gu Bei's family affair and she has no right to interfere.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly fell silent.
Zhiwen didn't care about others. After finishing his meal, he said hello to Gu Chongshan and went to school.
In the past, he would always invite Shuanzi to join him, but today, because he was angry with Zhang Cuihua, he left without even waiting for Shuanzi.
Shuanzi saw Zhiwen leaving, so he took a piece of cake and followed him out.
"Dong Wan, well, look at what this has caused." After Zhiwen left, Zhang Cuihua said to Dong Wan embarrassedly.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think I'm trying to do? Since I came into your house, I've been doing my best for him, but what's the result? In his heart, his biological mother is still more important." Dong Wan said with a wry smile.
Zhang Cuihua looked at Dong Wan as if she were a fool, thinking to herself, "Aren't you talking nonsense? The child is not stupid, of course he misses his mother.
Since you became Gu Bei's second wife, you should have known that as a concubine, you drove out the original wife. Do you still think you are right?
What are you talking about taking care of someone else's son? Don't you think about whether he wants you to take care of him?
If it weren't for you, his mother would still be living happily with him. How dare you complain?
Zhang Cuihua really looked down on Dong Wan. She was such a good girl, but she had to get involved with Gu Bei, a married man with children.
She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud.
"Oh, child? Of course, mother is the most important to me.
Zhiwen is a kind and righteous child. If you treat him well, he will definitely treat you well in the future." Zhang Cuihua said with a smile.
Dong Wan was silent. She didn't believe Zhiwen would be nice to her in the future.
