Cheng Yue nodded vigorously. She knew that her mother had never thought of coming back to see her; she had happily gotten married.
The restaurant reopened, and Mo Yan went to check it out herself. She found a manager and took Cheng Yue to the farmers' fair.
Cheng Yue was a little nervous about going out for the first time, but it was precisely because of this trip that she saw the outside world and saw scenery she had never seen before.
Mo Yan also took her by train to the agricultural university, where she met the professor again.
Later, Mo Yan took her out to play, which allowed her to see many, many things. This journey brought Cheng Yue a lot of shock and made her think about the future.
They didn't return for a month.
Cheng Yue had gotten a lot tanned, and they went to a restaurant to eat as soon as they got home.
I heard as soon as I arrived that Qian Ke also opened a restaurant, right across from theirs.
Mo Yan took a look and realized it was true.
It is indeed right across the street, at Wang Chuan Restaurant.
To put it simply, the food is the same, but they only charge nine yuan per person.
"Auntie, our business isn't doing much anymore. They're short a dollar compared to us. Do you think we should also..." be short a dollar?
The store across the street has been open for several days, and people are flocking in, making them uneasy. But the owner hasn't returned, and they don't know what to do.
"No need, this price is already very reasonable. We can't afford to lose money, can we? It doesn't matter if there are many or few people. If there are fewer people, it will be easier for you, right?"
A price reduction is out of the question; this thing is already a good deal.
As for the other side, it doesn't matter.
The opposing team had a lot of players, but they ran out of food quickly.
Mo Yan hired a waiter, but how could Wang Chuan possibly pay for a waiter?
He let Qian Ke do it all by himself.
However, the people he brought didn't even charge him! He brought ten or eight people at a time, and Wang Lin was the same; she was always taking people out to eat.
Qian Ke was someone who didn't manage the accounts; he just did the work, and their family's accounts were a complete mess.
Cheng Yue returned, but didn't intend to see Qian Ke.
She was genuinely disappointed. What she didn't tell her grandmother was that her mother had actually wanted her to come along, saying it was to help her with chores.
She even asked if they could come and live together as a family, and that her grandmother would help them now and she would take care of her grandmother in the future. I don't know how she could say such shameless things and take her grandmother's kindness for granted.
She understands that she wants to get married and find someone to rely on, but how can she ask her grandmother to make the same sacrifices? That's too selfish; she's taking her grandmother's kindness for granted.
Cheng Yue didn't go, but Qian Ke did.
After seeing them return, she went home that afternoon, only to find the key to the door had been changed. She could no longer get in.
She could only knock on the door.
When Cheng Yue opened the door, she didn't let her in. "Let's talk outside. My grandma is resting."
"Well, I'm just checking on your grandma, let's go inside."
Money is like something you can't understand, yet you still want to go in.
Cheng Yue stopped her immediately, "Mom, have you forgotten that you remarried and have nothing to do with my grandma anymore? Besides, you two had a falling out back then, and my grandma doesn't want to see you."
Qian Ke stopped, looking somewhat aggrieved, "But I need your grandma's help right now."
Seeing her mother like this, Cheng Yue was even more disappointed. "You come when I need you, and you leave without looking back when I don't."
"Why should we? Before, you said you didn't understand or couldn't do it, so Grandma taught you step by step, and you just said we were a burden."
Grandma wants you to be independent. She wants you to be able to earn your own money and support yourself. And you?
"Stop talking!" Qian Ke burst out. "I know, I know your grandma is very good to me, but that's not what I need. You always make me independent, make me learn to do accounts, make me learn to deal with things I don't want to deal with. You're forcing me, understand? I don't like socializing, I don't like doing accounts, and I especially don't like being independent. I just want to find someone to rely on. I think women should get married and return to the family. Why do you have to change me?"
She doesn't like it. She's a very traditional woman who just wants to stay at home, be a good wife and mother, cook, do housework, and wait for her husband to come home. Ideally, she'd also like to have a child.
She doesn't need to be independent, doesn't want to go out and earn money, and doesn't want to deal with customers; she just wants to listen to her husband.
Seeing Qian Ke complaining so much, Cheng Yue felt that her grandmother had truly misplaced her trust.
“We didn’t force you. You said you wanted to get married, and we wished you well, didn’t we? But since you’ve chosen the path you want to take, don’t look back. Why do you think Grandma and I will wait for you in the same place?”
You're just my grandmother's former daughter-in-law. She has no responsibility or obligation towards you. What are you doing? And take back what you said. My grandmother doesn't need you to take care of her in her old age or see her off in her final days, okay? No, she doesn't need you!
Don't come looking for me anymore; I don't need you to come looking for me.
Qian was stunned. She didn't understand why her daughter didn't get it. "If you come again, I will kick you out without hesitation, or I won't even open the door for you. If you try to do something to our restaurant, I will call the police without hesitation. From now on, we will only be related by blood. I will not help you anymore."
I will no longer have any expectations of you.
Qian Ke left dejectedly. Cheng Yue closed the door, leaned against it, and cried her heart out.
From then on, the money never came again.
Perhaps they came, but they didn't notice.
All I know is that their restaurant couldn't stay open for more than a month; I heard they lost money.
Qian Ke stays at home every day as a maid, and being beaten and scolded is a common occurrence for her.
Wang Lin even told Cheng Yue how her father transferred the money.
Cheng Yue called the police, but Qian Ke slapped her instead, saying that Cheng Yue was deliberately destroying her family. Seeing Qian Ke like this, Cheng Yue turned away heartlessly.
That year, Mo Yan's strawberries were a great success.
The villagers all learned from her, and Mo Yan also told them the method. The village then established a strawberry cooperative.
Another year passed, and Qian Ke finally gave birth to a son. She showed him off everywhere, asking Cheng Yue for money, but Mo Yan directly refused. After giving her a scolding, she finally quieted down.
A few years later, Cheng Yue was admitted to a high school in the city, and Mo Yan took her there.
Cheng Xue and her senior got married after they returned.
After several years of bickering and arguing, Cheng Xue finally learned to grow up. Although she was still unreliable, at least she wasn't an ingrate.
Mo Yan prepared a dowry for her.
Seeing her aunt's happy expression, Cheng Yue felt that if her mother hadn't been so demanding, her grandmother would have done the same.
