Just as the couple’s meal was served on the table, their three children came back from school, and with them came their neighbor, Grandma Yu.
Grandma Yu showed Lin Qingyue the sample clothes she had made: "Mrs. Lu, take a look at the picture you drew. Does it look like this when it's made?"
Lin Qingyue was surprised and said, "Grandma Yu, you are too fast. It's only been half a day."
"I'm an old woman sitting at home doing nothing anyway," said Grandma Yu.
"Grandma Yu used to be an embroidery master. Needlework is as easy as child's play for her." Lu Siyi said from the side.
"Wow, Grandma Yu, why haven't I heard you mention her before?" Lin Qingyue looked at the old woman in front of her in shock. She was really a very talented person.
Grandma Yu smiled modestly: "My son and daughter-in-law said that sewing is bad for the eyes, so they don't let me do it."
She sighed heavily: "The best thing I've ever done in my life is my needlework."
The old man looked at her contentedly and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiao Lu."
Lin Qingyue was slightly stunned: "Thank me for what?"
"Grandma Yu is thanking you for letting me know that I can still contribute my remaining energy." The smile on the old woman's face was kind, like golden sunshine, warming her heart.
"Grandma Yu, would you please stay at my house for dinner?" Lu Siyi said.
Grandma Yu waved her hands quickly: "No, no, my daughter-in-law will be off work soon, and my son, I should go home to cook."
Lin Qingyue looked through the clothes in her hands and said with emotion: "Grandma Yu's craftsmanship is really good. Look at the hem, it's as neat as those made by machines in the factory."
"No matter how capable Grandma Yu is, it's probably unrealistic to ask her to make the clothes you want by herself," Lu Siyi reminded.
The three children also curiously fiddled with the clothes in Lin Qingyue's hands.
"Mom, are you really going to sell clothes?" Lu Yiming blinked and looked at her seriously, as if he wanted to persuade her but didn't know where to start.
"Of course. We can't put the responsibility of supporting the family on your father's shoulders, right?" She touched the children's heads and said, "So, you have to learn to take on the housework in the future and help us do things within your ability."
"For example, sweeping the floor and washing dishes, and also learning to wash your own clothes."
"You are finally revealing your true nature and are going to abuse us." Lu Yicheng's cheeks were puffed up and he looked at Lin Qingyue with resentment in his eyes.
"How can this be called abuse? This is to cultivate your independence from childhood?" Lin Qingyue turned around and looked at Lu Siyi, and asked: "Lu Siyi, what do you think? Express your opinion?"
"She's right." Lu Siyi of course stood on his wife's side.
"This is totally unfair! We were still eight-year-old children!" Lu Yicheng shouted exaggeratedly to the sky.
Lin Qingyue couldn't help pinching his cheeks and said with a smile: "What's wrong with being eight years old? You have hands and feet. What's more, I just want you to do some simple housework. Your father and I will do the difficult ones."
She thought about it again and added, "The difficult ones... you can do them when you grow up."
“…”
Lu Yicheng felt unwell all over. This was definitely abuse, but he couldn't tell where he was abused. Lin Qingyue never treated him badly in terms of food and drink, and was even nice to him.
It was definitely mental abuse, that's for sure!
Lu Siyi gave him a warning look, and Lu Yicheng seemed to feel the threat of standing at attention. He said awkwardly, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."
