Mo Yan was very clear about her own role: to be a mother-in-law who wouldn't add fuel to the fire.
Then she went back to her room.
All the old ladies quickly gathered around.
"Girl, you're amazing!"
"What do you do for a living, young lady?"
"Girl, with you around, we're not afraid of being scammed anymore."
"Hey girl, let's travel together often in the future."
...
Julie stared at the phone that had been hung up, genuinely confused about what her mother meant.
"How's my wife? What did my mom say? Is it time for me to step in?"
Their plan was for Mo Yan to beg Julie not to divorce him, and then Julie would hang up the phone.
At this point, Zhu Yangshu stepped in to ask his mother for money. But now... now Mo Yan isn't following their script.
"Your mom said she respects my choice, and that you really are a giant baby."
Zhu Yangshu: "..."
"Your mom also said she was scammed."
Zhu Yangshu: "..."
"I'll make the call right now."
Zhu Yangshu couldn't wait a minute longer and immediately went out to make a phone call.
At this time, Mo Yan went to wash up, and the phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
He persisted and made phone calls for half an hour straight.
When Mo Yan came out, she saw more than a dozen missed calls, and then more came in.
Mo Yan saw the note: char siu (barbecued pork).
She answered the phone somewhat impatiently, "What's up?"
"Mom, where did you go? Why didn't you answer the phone? Julie isn't even going to marry me, and you still won't answer my calls."
That's a bit funny. What does it matter to her whether he gets married or not?
"I'm washing up. Why are you calling me instead of trying to win over your wife? What people are saying about you isn't wrong. You just do nothing all day but play games."
I think you're completely hopeless.
Zhu Yangshu: "..."
"How can you talk to your son like that? Tell me what to do now."
"What you're saying is up to you to decide what to do. Just change yourself and work hard from now on."
Asking her what use she is, you wouldn't expect her to serve his whole family, would you? Unless he deserves a beating.
"No, Mom, it's too late for me to change things now. How about we hire a nanny?"
Zhu Yangshu's plan was sound; as long as he patiently persuaded her, his mother would definitely contribute money and effort.
"That's your business, you don't need to discuss it with me. You're thirty years old, I believe you can live your own life well. I've supported you for thirty years, I won't bother you anymore."
Son, I still have high hopes for you. Keep it up!
Oh, and let me know when you get married. If you need anything from me... I'll come over.
How to get here is another question.
"Now I need your money," Zhu Yangshu said bluntly, having lost all temper.
"Zhu Yangshu, please say it again." Mo Yan's voice turned cold.
"Well... I'm broke. I need money for the wedding, the bride price, and to hire a nanny." He was too embarrassed to say that the nanny was his mother-in-law.
"Zhu Yangshu, have you no shame? Did I give your wife the dowry money? I even made a note about it. Don't think I'm senile."
As for why I should pay for the caregiver you hired, your mother is recovering from a serious illness and you don't even show any concern, but you ask for money. Did you even ask about my medical expenses?
"You're thirty and all you do is play video games instead of striving for success. No wonder nobody likes you. You might as well stay single. What a waste of my life to have given birth to such a loser! Get lost!"
Mo Yan hung up the phone immediately after speaking. "Yeah, I've been holding back for a long time today, and I feel better now."
