And she still has the nerve to say she's not sponging off her parents?
"I... I can live outside on my own." Xu Wan really wanted to live outside, but she was afraid her mother wouldn't agree.
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea too. If you feel uncomfortable living with me, then you can rent a place."
It's fine if you want to stay elsewhere, I have no objection, but you'll have to take responsibility for everything yourself.
"Don't we have a house?" Xu Wan didn't understand why she couldn't live in that house.
"Because I rented it out, I believe in keeping my integrity, and I also want to save the rent for my retirement."
Mo Yan stated it clearly and directly, "I plan to rent out that house indefinitely, to use for my living expenses and medical expenses when I'm sick. If I die, it will be yours; that's the arrangement before I die."
Mo Yan didn't think that death couldn't be discussed; it was an inevitable thing, just a matter of time.
Xu Wan: "..."
"Isn't there me? I can take care of you, right?" Xu Wan couldn't understand why her mother didn't trust her at all.
"Well, I really didn't expect anything from you."
Let's be realistic. Look how much I've taken care of your maternal grandparents.
Do you think I'm an ungrateful wretch?
Mo Yan's parents are still alive, but they don't visit each other often because it takes a whole day to travel there by car. They only go back once a year for holidays.
"No, Mom, you've been very good to Grandpa and Grandma." Xu Wan was a little confused as to why her mother would say that.
"Then you're wrong. Parents all want their children to be by their side, but sometimes it's not that the children don't want to, it's just that they really have no choice."
Take me for example. I have to go to work and take care of you. Every day after I take you to school, there's a mess to do at home. By the time I can go back, it's during holidays like Chinese New Year.
Buy them some clothes; they'll have to come back and continue living their lives in a couple of days.
Because life won't stop just because I miss them.
I don't have time to be with them all the time, and it's not that I don't want to be filial, it's just that I have to work and you need to take care of me. I'm already struggling to make ends meet myself, how could I possibly have time to go back?
What they need most is not money, nor a few words of "I miss you," but companionship.
Was I wrong? Or were they wrong?
No, it's just that life is tough.
So, after you get married, have children, and have your own little family, will you still have time to take care of me?
Take the money issue for example. Back then, it was your tuition and other expenses. I didn't even have money myself, so how could I give it to your grandparents?
Similarly, if you don't have money in the future, where will you give it to me?
It's better if I manage everything myself now, so you don't have to worry about me.
Xu Wan was stunned. She actually picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and just stood there in mid-air, staring at her mother in disbelief.
This was the first time my mom had ever talked to her this much.
And every single one of her sentences left her speechless.
She suddenly didn't know what to say, and even forgot what she was originally going to say.
"Alright, I'm full. Remember to clean up the dishes. You can go grocery shopping tomorrow."
After finishing her sentence, Mo Yan took her medicine and went back to her room to rest.
Xu Wan looked at the bowls and chopsticks and was momentarily stunned.
She can cook, but she can't wash dishes.
In the end, she had no choice but to resign herself to washing them one by one. Oh right, what was she trying to do in the first place?
...
Xu Wan woke up early in the morning to a knock on the door. When she opened it, she saw Wei Yang carrying breakfast.
Three small steamed buns, the kind you can eat in one bite...mmm, that's a lot.
"I bought your favorite steamed buns. Is your aunt home?"
Wei Yang wanted to go to work with Mo Yan, because everyone would definitely be curious.
"My mom has already left. She said she had something to do, so she left a little early. Thank you, Ayang, for even buying me steamed buns."
