Han Yue would never force Rong Yan to do anything she didn't want to do.
In Han Yue's eyes, Fu Jingchen is Fu Jingsheng's younger brother, but not Rong Yan's. Rong Yan can get along with Fu Jingchen for Fu Jingsheng's sake, or she can choose not to.
Han Yue said earnestly, "Child, have you forgotten what I said? Follow your heart and don't let anyone morally blackmail you. Don't talk about Jing Chen, even with me, you can act according to your own heart. You don't owe the Fu family anything."
"Mom, I understand what you mean. I'm just conflicted. I want to go, but I don't want to go either. If it's fifty-fifty for both, how do I choose?" If Rong Yan had a plan, she wouldn't be asking her mother-in-law.
"If you're still undecided, then go take a look. It means it doesn't matter whether you look or not, just consider it a good deed." Han Yue understood.
"Okay." Rong Yan nodded.
Han Yue took her daughter-in-law's arm and said, "Rong Yan, whether you believe it or not, in this family, you are more important to me than Jing Sheng."
“I know, Mom. You and I are the same. You only have to fulfill your obligations because you adopted Fu Jingchen, right? You don’t like Zhou Luo either, do you?” Rong Yan had already figured it out.
"Yes, my daughter and I talk about everything. I'm not saying bad things about Zhou Luo behind her back, but she does have problems. Even if she doesn't admit it about Rong Bing, I know what's going on. There's no such thing as a seamless transition. They must have wronged Rong Bing first." Han Yue just didn't expose them in front of Rong Bing.
"And I remember everything Zhou Luo did to Fu Jingsheng back then..." Han Yue recounted them one by one.
"Mom, what about when she's in confinement..." Rong Yan didn't finish her sentence before Han Yue already knew what she was going to ask and immediately interrupted her.
"I'm not going to take care of a new mother. Go directly to a postpartum care center or hire a postpartum nanny. I'll pay for it, but I can't do the work." Han Yue wasn't saying this on purpose in front of Rong Yan; she simply didn't have the patience or the ability to do it.
“Mom, I’m the same as you. When Yunlei and the others grow up, get married, and have children, I won’t take care of them myself. I’m no match for a postpartum nanny.” Rongyan and her mother-in-law were on the same side.
The two talked for a long time until Fu Jingsheng called.
Ever since his mother went to the institution, Fu Jingsheng has to ask Rong Yan where she is every time he gets off work.
When Fu Jingsheng arrived, Lao Deng had not yet finished class.
He and his mother were waiting downstairs.
"Uncle Deng has actually become the hardest-working person in the family," Fu Jingsheng remarked.
"We're not as busy as you. We're basically idle during the day on weekdays," Han Yue corrected.
"Mom, you should buy Uncle Deng some good food. Even if it's just in the evening, he's so old, it must be tiring for him." Rong Yan didn't expect Old Deng to have so many extra classes.
"I know, he has meat and vegetables every day, his meals are pretty good. He'll be very happy to know you care about him," Han Yue said with a smile.
At nine o'clock, Old Deng finally finished class.
After reporting to the parents, he immediately called Han Yue to tell her that he was done with his work.
“We’re downstairs, come on down. We can only have supper tonight,” Han Yue said. “Let’s go eat lobster.”
"Okay." Old Deng was already hungry, but he had too many classes on Sunday and didn't have time to eat in between. Han Yue and the others had actually waited for him until now, which was a burden to everyone.
Seeing Fu Jingsheng, Old Deng said apologetically, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I've kept you waiting until now. You can eat first next time."
"We're not hungry, Uncle Deng. Can you still take on students? I posted a video of you teaching on my WeChat Moments, and a lot of friends are asking about it." Rong Yan originally posted a video of the children, which included Old Deng, but she didn't expect so many people to pay attention.
"Is he/she a good friend? If so, we can add one more, but I won't have time if there are too many people," Lao Deng said frankly. "Other coaches can teach him/her."
"I'm considering whether to rent the shop next door. There are too many people, and we can't hold events." Old Deng originally didn't intend to expand, but with so many parents inquiring and wanting to teach, he felt embarrassed to refuse.
Some people even said that if Coach Deng really didn't have time, they could line up and wait for a batch of students to graduate so they could immediately take over. Before that, they wouldn't enroll in classes elsewhere.
"Aren't you just killing time?" Fu Jingsheng asked suspiciously. "Is this how you plan to grow bigger and stronger?"
"It started out of curiosity, but it developed too fast and got completely out of control." Old Deng ran a hand through his hair. "I'm worried about it too."
"I can attest to the sheer number of people seeking consultations and making appointments." Han Yue stays at the organization every day to understand the actual situation; otherwise, Lao Deng wouldn't be hiring.
"Yes, you can decide for yourselves," Fu Jingsheng and Rong Yan said in unison.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
——
Old Deng began to set up branch stores.
Han Yue is busier than before.
Fu Yunlei and the others often asked their mother if she could stay at her grandmother's place again, but thinking about how hard her mother-in-law worked from dawn till dusk, Rong Yan explained to herself that her grandmother was very tired and she shouldn't bother her anymore.
Although the children were quite disappointed, after listening to their mother's words, they felt sorry for their grandmother. So they offered to help her with chores after school, such as cleaning.
There's nothing wrong with kids being hands-on.
However, in order not to cause trouble for her mother-in-law, Rongyan insisted that anyone who wanted to go must come with her so that she could keep an eye on things.
With his grandmother's permission, Fu Yunlei and his group began their operation.
My first day was spent helping out at the training institution.
The four children put down their schoolbags and took the initiative to wipe the windows; they even brought their own rags.
Old Deng was both amused and exasperated. Inside the room, the students were training, while his four grandsons were cleaning every nook and cranny.
After cleaning the windows, I went to give my grandma a massage.
Rong Yan watched from the side.
The parents praised Fu Yunlei and his classmates for being so sensible.
Who says rich kids are spoiled from a young age? They're so efficient at their work!
They weren't even wearing gloves.
[Ding-dong, look at your younger siblings!] Some parents directly called out to their children.
My daughter still can't even bathe herself, and she's about to start first grade, let alone do any housework. What should I do?
[You're spoiling them too much; they need to do things.]
...
Teacher Rong
Suddenly, a parent called Rong Yan's name.
Rong Yan thought she had misheard; when did she become a teacher?
But everyone was looking at her, so she asked, "Are you calling me?"
"Teacher Rong, how did you raise your child so well? He's so sensible."
"Yes, how were you taught? I had a tutor teach me, but my practical skills are very poor. I never know how to put my clothes away properly after taking them off."
"Teacher Rong, how did you teach her?"
...
Rong Yan smiled awkwardly: "I didn't teach them. They insisted on coming over to clean. They don't do anything at home. Maybe they feel sorry for their grandma."
The Fu family always had nannies, so why would they make the children do chores?
But during this period, Fu Yunlei and the others did seem to have grown up all at once.
