God knows how she got through all this time.
Difficult in-laws and a crazy mother, a son who is treated like a grandson, and a broken woman.
It's hard to imagine that these two old women would ever get along harmoniously.
Over this period of time, Zhang Fangfang has long been used to taking care of another mother.
From initially being scolded ten times a day, he eventually became so meticulous in every aspect that the old lady could find no fault with him.
I've gone through complaining, enduring, resisting, accepting defeat, becoming numb, and finally getting used to it...
She became, on the surface, the old lady's most dutiful son.
As for whether she is truly filial in her heart, the old lady probably doesn't care.
What we want is the attitude of a filial son; if she can maintain this for a lifetime, then she's truly capable.
After pretending to be a dutiful daughter for so long, she sometimes genuinely felt that she had reformed.
Now the old lady not only stops scolding her, but occasionally gives her an appreciative look, praising her for doing a good job and being good at handling things.
In addition, the way her neighbors and relatives looked at her changed, and they praised her for being filial.
Over time, she seemed to have truly become the dutiful daughter in the eyes of those around her.
Its reputation has soared.
This is so unreal...
She has never been praised for being filial.
It's simply because she never took the concept of filial piety seriously before.
How much is filial piety worth?
These two words should be placed on the heads of the eldest brother and the youngest brother.
She's a married woman, after all; she's no longer part of the family. Being a little selfish and thinking more about her own family is perfectly understandable.
But now she has been forcibly transformed into a filial daughter, experiencing a different situation from another perspective.
I felt a unique mix of emotions.
Influenced by the surrounding noises, it's unclear whether it was a sudden pang of conscience on her part.
It's really unacceptable that I used to neglect my parents in the mountains and only take from them without giving anything back.
No wonder the old lady went crazy…
Wow! She actually understood the old lady's crazy behavior?!
That's terrifying...
Just when the whole family thought the old lady would continue to live at home and enjoy her daughter's retirement,
The old lady suddenly announced that she was going to her son's house in the big city to enjoy a life of leisure.
Everyone at the dinner table looked completely bewildered.
What? The old lady is leaving?
After realizing what had happened, almost everyone cheered inwardly.
But out of habit, he didn't dare to show it and still had to maintain appearances.
It's because the old lady likes these superficial gestures.
"Oh, mother-in-law, you're leaving so soon? Stay a little longer, we're perfectly fine..."
While Grandma Sun was overjoyed, she also felt a pang of reluctance, experiencing a complex mix of emotions.
I've been taking care of my health with my mother-in-law lately, and I must say, she feels several years younger.
With improved energy and spirit, my long-standing ailments have also subsided.
If the old lady were to continue living in their house, she would be willing.
The problem is, you can't refuse even if you don't want to.
"Yes, mother-in-law, please stay a few more days..."
Old Man Sun wasn't as complicated as Old Woman Sun; he was simply saying things against his will.
"Yes, Mom, please stay a little longer. This decision is so sudden. Have I done something wrong lately?..."
Zhang Fangfang's feelings were also quite complicated. She was overjoyed that the old lady was leaving, but she also felt inexplicably melancholy.
Ah... she's gotten used to serving her. She's still a little disoriented for a while now that the old lady is gone.
"Oh, Grandma, why are you leaving so suddenly? I'll miss you..."
Little Jinsun is also the type who says things he doesn't mean.
Great, Grandma the Devil is finally leaving. Waaah... God knows how he's been coping these past few days.
Yu Shuang watched with satisfaction as the family tried to persuade her to stay, and mercifully agreed to their request.
"Alright then, I'll stay a little longer."
The air suddenly froze.
The smiles on everyone's faces looked somewhat stiff and forced.
Oh dear, all that excitement turned out to be for nothing.
Forget it, we've been living at home for so long anyway, everyone's used to it, so a little longer won't make a difference.
Just as everyone was accepting reality, the old lady suddenly said:
"But I've already bought my train ticket for tomorrow, and I'm too lazy to cancel it, so I'll stick to the original plan."
The smiles on the family's faces changed again; they were a refreshing feeling, like a spring breeze, and a secret joy like winning the lottery.
Following Yu Shuang's lead, they readily accepted the situation and expressed their regret.
The next day, the family warmly saw the old lady off at the train station.
Zhang Fangfang was still a little worried. The old lady was so old, it was her first time taking a train, and she couldn't read. She kept nagging for a long time.
Upon learning that the old lady was going to her eldest brother's place first, she immediately called her brother and sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, their attitude was truly infuriating.
It seems they don't care about the old lady.
The brother and sister had a big fight and parted on bad terms.
Even under these circumstances, the old lady insisted on going to her eldest brother's place.
What does this tell us?
This means... the old lady is going to lecture her older brother!
She felt a surge of excitement.
We mourn for our elder brother.
Big brother, big brother. Don't blame your second sister for not reminding you, it's time for you to take on the role of the filial son.
To support the elderly woman's educational endeavors, she even bought a walking stick that very day as a parting gift.
I imagined countless scenes in my mind, and just thinking about them made me feel better.
The old lady was extremely pleased and kept praising her for being filial.
...
Yu Shuang boarded the train to the big city.
Before the train even arrived at the station, I called my eldest son.
