Yin Yilan instinctively spoke up for Liang Zhongzhi, "Mom won't do that. This is the most crucial time for Dazhi. I believe that even if we don't come, he will pick us up after the exam."
Mo Yan: "..."
Liang Zhongzhi quickly nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right, Mom, I was just thinking of telling you after the exam."
Mo Yan couldn't be bothered to listen to this. It was just an excuse he made up. In his past life, he deeply regretted being with Yin Yilan.
"Anyone can be a hindsight expert. Liang Zhongzhi had many opportunities to tell me before the Lunar New Year, during the Lunar New Year, but you didn't. Don't think that just because Lanzi speaks up for you, I'll let you off the hook."
Starting tomorrow, you'll be responsible for cleaning the house and your own clothes.
Liang Zhongzhi: "..."
"Mom, why don't you trust me? You don't trust me as much as Lanzi does."
Liang Zhongzhi certainly didn't intend to bring Yin Yilan over. He thought that in a few years, Yin Yilan would understand his intentions, and their marriage would naturally be dissolved.
For him, that past was a period he never wanted to mention.
At first, Liang Zhongzhi looked down on Yin Yilan, but because working in the fields was too hard and tiring, he couldn't persevere and thought about marrying a girl from the village, which is how he ended up with Yin Yilan.
Later, Liang Zhongzhi did not have to do so much work anymore, and their relationship was also good. At that time, Liang Zhongzhi also accepted his fate, thinking that his life would just be like that.
Later, after having children, he wondered if he could just stay in the village?
Later, when he could go back to the city, his mind started to wander. He wanted to go to university, get a good job, and return to the city.
Liang Zhongzhi is the kind of person who looks honest and simple, but is actually very cunning. He won't say directly that he wants to go back to the city. If he did, it would be an admission that he wants to abandon them.
He started talking about what would happen to Xiaoxing in the future, saying where he would study, and that after returning to the city, Xiaoxing could study well and that he would be able to get into university.
So, Yin Yilan went to find her second uncle.
After several years of marriage, she trusted Liang Zhongzhi completely, which eventually led to his return to the city.
If it weren't for Yin Yilan's second uncle, they probably would already have a divorce certificate.
After Liang Zhongzhi returned, Mo Yan used her connections to find him a temporary job. Although the salary was only half that of a regular employee, he was still rich.
Liang Zhongzhi thought that he could earn money while taking the exam, and once he became a college student, his life would be set for life.
This statement is true in this era: getting into university means a bright future.
Mo Yan found it ironic to see Liang Zhongzhi looking so aggrieved, wanting to cry but holding it in.
"You're my son, how could I not know what you're thinking? Don't you know what you've done?"
Liang Zhongzhi: "..."
"Lanzi, you don't need to make excuses for him. In the future, take this time to see what kind of person he really is, so you don't regret it for the rest of your life."
Yin Yilan: "..." Her mother-in-law's words were a bit too serious.
"Mom, no, I believe Dazhi won't let me down."
Mo Yan: "..."
“You’ve just arrived, you need to rest well, so he’s sitting on the sofa reflecting on things.”
Mo Yan made the final decision, and the matter was settled.
Liang Zhongzhi had no choice but to obey. Yin Yilan laid out several layers of blankets for him, which made Liang Zhongzhi more comfortable.
Yin Yilan told him to lie down while she went to prepare the meatballs. When she got to the kitchen, she found that Mo Yan had already started making them.
Mo Yan looked at Yin Yilan and began to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. "Lanzi, have you thought about what you want to do after coming here?"
Now that business can be started slowly, as long as the procedures are completed, there will definitely be a future. In her previous life, Yin Yilan supported Liang Zhongzhi by selling steamed buns.
"No, I was thinking of making plans after I got here. Mom, don't worry, I'm definitely not the kind of person who's lazy and unwilling to work. I'll definitely go out and find work. Dazhi and I will also contribute to our living expenses from now on."
Yin Yilan wasn't the kind of unreasonable daughter-in-law; she knew she couldn't rely on her mother-in-law forever. She was even thinking about earning more money so her daughter could stay in the city to study.
"You misunderstood. I just wanted to ask you what kind of job you're looking for. You can go out and take a look first before making a decision. Also, wear clothes without patches; people will think you look smart, won't they?"
I know we're not stealing or robbing, and patched clothes don't really matter, but that's how society is. If you dress smartly, people will give you a second glance, understand?
After hearing this, Yin Yilan quickly nodded, "Yes, Mom, I understand."
She understood that people in the village said her family was poor, but... she was trying to save money back then, and as long as her clothes were wearable, that was fine.
Since her mother-in-law said so, she must have her reasons. She should wear an outfit with fewer patches.
...
Early in the morning, Yin Yilan got up to cook porridge, along with steamed buns and cold dishes. She ate a couple of bites and then told Mo Yan that she was going out to look for work and see if there were any temporary jobs available.
Mo Yan didn't stop her. What others said was less useful than going out and seeing for herself. Today, Yin Yilan's clothes had few patches and she looked very energetic.
Mo Yan took Xiao Xing out for a meal, then went to pick up the report and register the household registration.
Then, Mo Yan glanced at Liang Zhongzhi, who was sleeping like a log on the sofa, and went straight over and kicked him down.
