Although the brothers Yu Dongfang and Yu Xifang did not know what their father's intention was, they still listened to their father's words and agreed to go to Jiameng Town to celebrate the Spring Festival.
When Yu's father called, Yu's mother didn't say anything. After Yu's father hung up the phone, Yu's mother exploded instantly.
"Old Yu, what do you mean? Why are you taking your two sons to Jiameng Town to celebrate the Spring Festival?"
Father Yu took a deep breath and explained calmly, "Why can't I take my children to Jiameng Town for the Spring Festival? Jiameng Town is not a scourge. Besides, it's where I shed my blood and fought hard, so I should let my children go there to see it."
Yu's mother was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Yu's father never thought of taking Yu's mother to Jiameng Town. Given Yu's mother's personality, wouldn't she just cause more trouble if she went?
"If you don't want to go, I won't force you, and you don't have to go."
Yu's mother was so angry that she blurted out, "Old Yu, if you want to go, go alone. In short, you can't take my child with you!"
"The East and the West aren't three-year-old children. They have their own sense of distinction. They're not your puppets." Father Yu hesitated, trying to reason with Mother Yu. He slowed his tone and spoke humbly, "We will both grow old and die one day. After we die, our children and grandchildren will continue to live in this world. Do you think it's better for them to have more friends or more enemies?"
Yu's mother understood the truth that Yu's father was talking about.
She just didn't want to be inferior to the Ye family!
"What kind of friends are the Ye family? They are just a bunch of unruly peasants!"
Father Yu was furious. He slammed the table and said angrily, "The Ye family is your benefactor, the one who saved your precious daughter. If you treat your benefactor like this, how do you think others will view us? I don't care how much you dislike the Ye family, but I'm telling you, when you meet the Ye family, no matter how big your dissatisfaction is, you must hold it in. I don't want the word to spread that the Yu family is ungrateful. You're not three years old anymore. At your age, you should know how much impact a good reputation has on your work."
Yu's mother was still angry.
But she couldn't refute it. She just felt like there was a fire burning in her heart, and she felt so suffocated.
Father Yu was too lazy to look at Mother Yu, and even more lazy to worry about the little thoughts in Mother Yu's mind. He just asked Yu Nanfang.
"Nannan, do you want to go to Jiameng Town?"
Before Yu Nanfang could answer, she heard her mother say, "No, our Nannan is a girl from the city. Why should she go to such a poor and remote place? Nannan, stay."
Father Yu shouted in a rare, stern voice, "I'm asking Nan Nan, not you. Nan Nan, tell me, do you want to go?"
Yu Nanfang looked at his father, then at his mother, and then hesitantly said, "Dad, if we all leave, Mom will be too lonely to spend the New Year alone in the city."
When Yu's mother heard Yu Nanfang say this, she felt that this was indeed her most caring little cotton-padded jacket.
"You heard it, Nan Nan is not going!"
Father Yu nodded slightly.
He turned around, went back to his room and packed his things.
Mother Yu took Yu Nanfang's hand and whispered softly, "As expected, my Nannan is the most caring. Nannan, you are really a good daughter to me, unlike that ungrateful Yu Beifang."
