The moment she saw Lotte, her heart melted, and she instinctively wanted to give everything she had to her grandson.
She could discipline and punish her daughters rationally, but she was utterly powerless against her grandson. All she wanted to do was pamper him, love him, and give him the best of everything.
She would even be willing to die for her grandson!
Her daughters wouldn't understand. First, they wouldn't comprehend the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Second, they wouldn't understand the joy of finally being able to hold her head high after being pointed at and gossiped about her whole life.
"Grandma, I know you love me, but I also want to become a better person. Do you want me to continue relying on your support? I also want to become the kind of person you expect me to be. I hope that one day when you talk about me to others, you will be very proud and honored."
Actually, Mom said something very good on the way back. She said, "You always think that you have your grandma to back you up, so you are fearless. But have you ever thought that she is old and can no longer earn money? All the money she has is taken from your second aunt and third aunt."
They don't earn money easily; their families save every penny they can. They thought they'd skip meals so their mothers could have a better life, but you turned around and spent that money recklessly. How do you think they'd feel if they found out?
Your younger siblings have nothing to eat or wear, but the money they painstakingly saved up was ultimately spent on you. Do you think they're happy?
I knew your grandma loved you, but have you ever thought that you should love her too, think about her, and think about her children? Don't be so selfish.
He didn't speak at that time because he was thinking.
He used to accept his grandmother's kindness, but he wasn't truly sincere towards her. The reason he said those nice things was to get his grandmother to give him more money and cook more delicious food for him.
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this, her smile bringing wrinkles to her face. She never imagined that this day would come, that her grandson would be so well-behaved and sensible.
Hearing these words, her heart was filled with sweetness.
"With your words, Grandma can die without regrets."
Dong Letian quickly spat, "Grandma, stop talking nonsense. You can't die. You still have to take care of my child. You'll have to watch my child run around in the future."
The old lady was even happier. Oh, what her grandson said was so wonderful, she couldn't bear to die!
"It's alright. I hope that day will come. I'll go cook now. You rest here. I'll go find someone in the village to check your foot later. Your mother can't be relied on."
Dong Letian didn't say anything. In fact, his mother had been very unreasonable during this period, constantly disciplining him, which made him feel resentful to some extent. But it was undeniable that his mother was right about one thing: if she hadn't done that, he wouldn't have realized his mistake.
With his grandmother's indulgence, he became even more outrageous, ignoring everyone's advice. He felt that everyone in the world should treat him well and should give everything for him.
They felt he was the hero of the family, and the eldest grandson of the family.
When Mo Yan returned home after a busy afternoon, she saw that the old lady had prepared a meal. She had fried eggs and eggplant, which were served with rice.
"You're back. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat."
Mo Yan was somewhat surprised, "Oh my god, you're being so nice to me today, did the sun rise in the west?"
old lady:"……"
The old lady rolled her eyes at Mo Yan. "What? You think it's okay to be nice to me? If it weren't for the fact that our Le Tian has been in particularly good spirits and has become so sensible lately, I wouldn't be saying all this to you."
At this point, the old lady smiled very happily and looked at Mo Yan with great surprise, "Let me tell you, don't envy me. Letian said he will be filial to me in the future, buy me lots and lots of things, and want me to live a few more years so I can take care of his children."
Her grandson is indeed the most sensible and well-behaved child.
"Come on, he just wants you to work hard for a few more years, and you're actually happy about it."
Mo Yan smiled and looked at her mother before speaking.
The old lady gave a haughty snort and spoke.
"You're just jealous of me, jealous of how good our relationship is." Then, humming a song, she called her grandson to eat.
Mo Yan followed and found Dong Letian reading a book. This would have been unthinkable before, as he would have only ever crammed at the last minute. It would have been a stroke of luck for him to even get into high school.
However, even a stroke of luck is still a form of luck.
Dong Letian does have some cleverness.
"Lotte is ready to eat."
Dong Letian looked at Mo Yan behind the old lady and asked, "Mom, can you put my foot back in place?"
Mo Yan just dislocated her shoulder.
"Then tell me, what are you thinking about?"
Dong Letian lowered his head. How to put it? He thought about a lot of things, yet it seemed like he hadn't thought about anything at all. Even he himself couldn't explain what he was thinking.
"Mom, I did act impulsively this time. If this happens again, I will analyze it carefully and figure out what to do so that neither she nor I will be punished too harshly."
Then I will educate her that such behavior is wrong.
Dong Letian felt that there wasn't just one answer to everything, and he was sure he could find a way to have the best of both worlds.
"Then what?"
"Then, breaking the law is unacceptable. If you want to do something, you must think it over carefully and consider the consequences before you do it."
He will continue to do what he insists on, but he will definitely be more careful and handle everything well.
"Hmm, it seems you have indeed thought about something." Mo Yan nodded. It's not bad that you can think like this. Personality can't be changed overnight. If you really cry and make a fuss about him being wrong, Mo Yan won't believe you.
Mo Yan adjusted his foot and then applied some herbal medicine to it. "Son, although a dislocation isn't a big deal, it would be embarrassing if it became a habit. It wouldn't be good if you dislocated it just by walking around, would it?"
Dong Letian: "!???" Who on earth is it that keeps dislocating my shoulder every few days?
"Mom, if you don't discipline me, will I dislocate my shoulder?"
Mo Yan gave her a cold look...
Dong Letian immediately backed down, "Ahem, ahem, what I mean is that I will never make Mom angry again, so that I won't dislocate my shoulder."
Mo Yan patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Hmm, you're a promising young man."
Dong Letian: "..." He was forced into this situation.
