Qian Ke trembled in fright and became even more terrified.
She didn't know exactly what she was afraid of, she was just afraid, or perhaps she knew it very well in her heart, but she just didn't dare to say it.
"Mom, I...I didn't want...I...I..."
Seeing Qian Ke's hesitant manner, Mo Yan was speechless. "You're thinking of getting married again? And why are you hesitating like this? What are you trying to do?" she thought. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. This is your only chance. Think it through."
Qian Ke knew her mother-in-law's temper very well, and this was her only chance. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll talk. Mom, I want to get married. I want to marry Wang Chuan."
I've known him for a few months. He's honest, kind, and good to me. I want to marry him, and we can live together as a family, okay?
"What the heck?"
Mo Yan couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Qian Ke, what did you say? What do you mean by 'a whole family living together'? Tell me."
Putting aside what kind of person she's going to marry, just the idea of the whole family living together is just ridiculous.
“It’s just…” Qian Ke was no longer afraid. She looked up at Mo Yan and said very seriously, “Mom, I know you’ve always been very good to me and Yueyue, so I can’t bear to leave you. I want to stay by your side forever. Although I’ve met someone I like and want to be with him, I want us all to live together, just like a family. In the future, you won’t only have me as your daughter to take care of you, but you’ll also have a son. What do you think?”
Mo Yan took a deep breath to calm herself down. If it were her kiss, she would have kicked him away long ago. But she told herself to calm down. Her emotions had been fluctuating a lot lately, and she needed to be calm.
"Qian Ke, do you think I'm the kind of person who needs a son? Is this what you think, or what that man said? How come he wants to marry you but doesn't even have a house?"
"You're getting married, do you know anything about the person you've chosen?"
She just couldn't understand it. You want to live with your new husband and your mother-in-law? That's just ridiculous!
"He said he knows we're close and he's willing to move in. Oh, and he has a daughter, Linlin, who was just here. She'll have a companion for Yueyue. What do you think?"
Qian Ke thought it was a good idea, and excitedly looked at Cheng Yue as she spoke.
"Mom, are you getting married?"
Cheng Yue was a little sad; her mother was actually getting married.
"Yueyue, I'm different from you. You and your grandma like to be independent. You know what you want and you can do it very well, but I can't."
Everyone's dreams are different, but you just wanted to be a good wife and mother at home.
I want to cook three meals a day for my husband at home. I want to live a simple life where the man is the breadwinner and the woman stays at home.
Therefore, I've decided to let Wang Chuan manage the restaurant. Don't worry, I'll keep your profits safe for you. When you grow up and need them, I'll use them as your dowry. I'll also take good care of your grandmother; I know she's sacrificed so much for us. I know all of that.
When I was saying all this, I was afraid of money, but gradually I stopped being afraid and relaxed.
She turned to look at Mo Yan, "Mom, what do you think?"
Mo Yan realized at this moment that some people are just hopeless; even if you help them up, they will think you are meddling in other people's business.
"What does it have to do with us if you want to get married? Cheng Yue is my granddaughter, and I won't let you take her away."
You only get 30% of the restaurant's profits, but I'll give you that money in one lump sum as your dowry. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other.
Qian Ke felt as if her heart was being torn apart upon hearing this, clutching her chest tightly. "Why? Didn't you say you treated me like a daughter?"
"When did I say that?" Mo Yan thought carefully. She hadn't said that, had she? "Qian Ke, I did say that I would help you get back on your feet and enable you to take care of your daughter. But what did you do?"
If you want to get married, that's fine, I don't object, marriage is a matter of personal freedom.
But if you bring people to my house and try to take my restaurant, isn't that going too far?
"You want to bring them along so my granddaughter can serve them?"
Mo Yan stood up and slapped him across the face.
With a slap, Qian Ke's face stung. "I slapped you to make you realize the truth: you have no right to bring your second husband here."
Don't talk about taking care of me; I don't need your care.
I also hoped you could be happy. If you wanted to get married, I could help you look into what kind of person he was. But I never imagined you would act first and ask for permission later, letting that child come directly. Do you know what she said? She said Yueyue and I are your burdens.
Mo Yan wanted to get angry at that time, but she held back. Goodness, Qian Ke's words were even more infuriating.
Money doesn't say anything.
She had her eye on Wang Chuan and wanted to live with him.
Cheng Yue followed along, somewhat disappointed. It wasn't that she didn't want the life her mother had, but finding a stepfather so quickly... she couldn't accept it. "I don't agree to you two being together. If you want to be with him, then I'll live with my grandma from now on."
Qian Ke plopped down on the ground and broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mom, why? Why won't you let me be happy? I just want a home, I want to have a son, I want someone to protect me from the wind and rain."
At this moment, Cheng Yue's heart grew even colder.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan, her face darkening, threw Qian Ke and her belongings out and then closed the door.
Qian Ke then realized that she had angered her mother-in-law. "Mom, Mom, I didn't mean it that way."
Inside, Cheng Yue, tears streaming down her face, looked at her grandmother with a wronged expression. "Grandma, so she disliked me. She wanted a son. What did she want?"
"Yueyue, everyone makes different choices. Your mother definitely loves you. She just likes that kind of ordinary life, wants to be more ordinary, and wants a man to shelter her from the wind and rain. Her hopes are not in her own hands."
Since she's made her choice, there's no going back. You should think about how hard your mother has worked all these years. Since this is what she wants, then let her be and wish her well.
bless?
Cheng Yue couldn't do it, she really couldn't do it at this moment.
"I can't do it."
"It's alright, then I won't offer my blessings. Grandma is here, and she'll always be with you."
That night, Cheng Yue wiped away her tears and refused to cry again.
"Grandma, I want to investigate that man and see just how good he is that made my mom so willing to give up everything for him."
