"Understood, Second Brother." Wang Baoshan's eyes lit up.
“Mom, why don’t you try to persuade Baoshan? He’ll be a college student someday, he doesn’t need to suffer like this.” After dinner, Wang Baomin found Tao Ying and whispered.
The fact that Baoshan came to find me means that he agrees.
"And then cultivate a second Wang Baojun?" Tao Ying asked, looking at Wang Baomin.
Wang Baomin: "..." His older brother is a bit of a scoundrel. His sister-in-law has only been gone for less than half a year, and he's already reportedly changed partners twice.
“Baomin, brothers and children can help and support each other, but they can’t do it without limits, they can’t give unconditionally, and they can’t take it for granted.” Tao Ying said to Wang Baomin, “This child is lacking love.”
"What are your thoughts on finding a partner? Lots of people want to introduce you to potential partners," Tao Ying changed to a lighter topic.
“Mom, I said I would observe three years of mourning for Dad, and only one year has passed.” Wang Baomin is most afraid of hearing this topic now.
"We're not asking you to get married. You can try dating first, get to know each other slowly, and that's how a relationship becomes stable. You can't just rush into marriage." In this day and age, many people meet through blind dates, hit it off, and then start talking about marriage without really knowing each other. After marriage, everything becomes a mess.
Tao Ying had even heard of couples who met in the morning and got their marriage certificate in the afternoon—it was terrifying.
"I..." Wang Baomin opened his mouth. In Wang Baomin's mind, dating was for the purpose of getting married and having children. Now, after hearing his mother say this, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Mom, will you remarry?" Wang Baomin asked after thinking for a moment.
"Remarriage? I'm not really thinking about it right now. I have a house, money, and a child, which is great," Tao Ying replied after thinking for a moment. She added that she might consider it if she met someone exceptionally rare.
"Not really at the moment?" Wang Baomin paused for a moment.
“Mom, I know you and Dad have a deep bond, but we don’t want to be a burden to you,” Wang Baomin said softly.
If all my siblings get married in the future, my mother will be lonely.
"You are not a constraint for me, you are just my responsibility," Tao Ying replied with relief.
Wang Baomin was the one who cared about him the most among the children.
Wang Chunni also missed him, but too many people missed him.
Everyone has a place in her heart.
But Wang Baomin is different. So far, he is definitely number one in his family.
"Mom, I will definitely take good care of you in the future." Wang Baomin was deeply moved, feeling that his mother must not want to give him too much responsibility.
"Mom doesn't expect you to be filial. After you all get married, you can all move out and we won't bother each other." Tao Ying was thinking that once she had earned enough money, she would let a few of them manage the shop or find a professional manager, and then she could go out and enjoy herself.
The thought of that kind of life is wonderful.
Wang Baomin felt that his mother just didn't want to be a burden to him, and he was immediately moved to tears.
"By the way, I've seen Liu Jing come to the store several times. Twice she even deliberately asked me what you were doing. Does she have a crush on you?" Tao Ying couldn't help but gossip.
"Mom, who did you say?" Wang Baomin was still feeling touched when he suddenly heard Tao Ying's words and was a little taken aback.
"Liu Jing, the one who's a little chubby, with fair skin," Tao Ying described.
"Who? I don't know anyone." Wang Baomin thought carefully, but really couldn't remember.
“She was my former colleague, only twenty years old.” Tao Ying felt exhausted.
"Oh, you mean that one? She asked me what I wanted?" Wang Baomin then remembered who Tao Ying was talking about.
Tao Ying “…”
"She just asked me how I managed to raise you to be so tall and strong, yet so simple-minded," Tao Ying said, somewhat speechless.
"Mom, is she jealous of me?" Wang Baomin had long suspected that the girl was suspicious. Why would someone always cling to another person's mother? It's not like she doesn't have a mother.
"I think you've observed three years of mourning for your father, which isn't enough," Tao Ying said, her teeth itching with anger.
"Mom, didn't you just tell me to find a boyfriend?" Wang Baomin felt a little out of sync with his mother's train of thought.
Tao Ying didn't even glance at Wang Baomin.
This kid is abnormal. Stay away from him, lest you catch his stupidity from him.
Before they knew it, the day arrived for Wang Baoshan and Wang Baomin to set off together.
Wang Baoshan, carrying his big bag, looked pitifully at Tao Ying and said, "Mom, take good care of yourself at home. Don't worry about me. I will definitely listen to my brother."
Tao Ying looked at Wang Baoshan, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and couldn't understand what he was up to now.
"Alright, here's another fifty. Don't waste money. Listen to your brother in everything." Tao Ying took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Wang Baoshan.
"Mom, why are you like this? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be greedy for fifty yuan? I just can't bear to part with you. I've never been separated from you for this long in all my years." Wang Baoshan quickly took the money, stuffed it into his pocket, and looked at Tao Ying with a sad expression.
"Then give me back the fifty yuan." Tao Ying stretched out her hand and looked at Wang Baoshan.
"Mom, I'll miss you, but don't miss me too much." Wang Baoshan seemed not to hear Tao Ying's words.
"If you keep dawdling like this, I won't let you go." Tao Ying really wanted to hit Wang Baoshan with a feather duster. She didn't know why he was so dramatic all the time.
"Second brother, wait for me, your dear little brother is here." Wang Baoshan immediately ran off to greet him.
If Mom doesn't let me go, my second brother will definitely not take me with him.
Tao Ying “…”
Not long after Wang Baomin and Wang Baoshan left, Wang Chuntao came to find Tao Ying, "Mom," acting rather suspiciously.
"My dear girl, what mischief have you gotten yourself into?" Tao Ying's heart couldn't help but jump as she looked at Wang Chuntao, who seemed to be stealing a glance.
The main reason is that this child is usually the most worry-free, so Tao Ying was genuinely frightened by this sudden attack.
"Mom~, I wanted to tell you that I feel like my sister is having an affair." Wang Chuntao grabbed Tao Ying's arm and shook it.
Wang Chuntao was quite conflicted. Although she knew it was wrong to inform on someone, she was even more afraid that her older sister would be deceived.
After all, the eldest sister isn't very shrewd and is extremely soft-hearted.
"Your sister is dating someone?" Tao Ying stared wide-eyed at Wang Chuntao with a gossipy look.
"I told her that I felt something was off with my sister. She's suddenly started dressing up a lot lately, and when she's cooking with me, she's always spacing out or suddenly laughing. I'm afraid she's being scammed," Wang Chuntao quickly whispered.
"Your sister is a bit dim-witted. How about we secretly follow her and see what happens?" Tao Ying sighed, also feeling that Wang Chunni was quite easy to fool.
"What if my sister finds out?" Wang Chuntao was a little conflicted.
"So what if she finds out? I'm her mother, what can she do to me? I'll protect you then," Tao Ying said confidently.
Wang Chuntao “…”
