What a wonderful son! He's capable and filial. I'm just not lucky enough to have him. My son has found a young wife, and now I have to help him take care of her.
After placing the vegetables and fruits he was carrying on the ground, Yu Zhaohua gently rubbed his knees, which had been aching for the past two days; the weather must be changing soon.
He'll be able to get through this in two or three months. After his daughter-in-law gives birth, he plans to go back to his hometown. He doesn't want to get involved here anymore; he'd rather go back home and live a comfortable life on his own.
Hearing from her son that he would bring his mother-in-law over to take care of his wife in another month, Yu Zhaohua felt a headache coming on.
Yu Zhaohua had met his in-laws when Yu Hai got married in May. His father-in-law was a capable man.
He wasn't tall, and was rather thin, but he was a very capable worker. He laid floor tiles on construction sites in Jinan, and because of his excellent skills, he earned a good amount of money.
However, Liu Lan's younger brother is a little devil. He's seventeen or eighteen years old, and he still curses at his mother without batting an eye; he has absolutely no manners.
The most troublesome person is Liu Lan's mother. I don't know how that old woman lived to be over forty. At such an advanced age, she's still clueless and acts without any composure.
Her temper is unpredictable, like a sudden storm. Just moments ago, everyone was chatting and the atmosphere was quite pleasant, but then someone said something that provoked her, and she immediately turned on them and started cursing, leaving her new in-laws embarrassed.
On their wedding day, she made things look bad. Yu Zhaohua sighed; her son still wanted him to accompany his mother-in-law to help him take care of the child.
He couldn't stand it; being with that old woman would drive him crazy in less than half a month. Yu Zhaohua made up his mind that once his daughter-in-law gave birth and finished her postpartum confinement, he would pack his bags and hurry back to his hometown.
Whether it's good or bad, they are all the daughter-in-law's mothers. You can't say anything if you offend your daughter-in-law's mother, or you won't get any good feedback from your daughter-in-law.
He wouldn't do something that would put him and his son in an awkward position, and he wouldn't do something so thankless. He'd rather quit than not do it.
Thinking back to the carefree days in Rongcheng, it seems so far away now, like something from a past life.
Life is not going well, and time seems to be passing by so slowly.
Now that Yu Hai is married and settled down, he can rely on his in-laws for help in the future, since their home isn't far from Jinan anyway.
Given my health, if I stay in Jinan for too long, I'm afraid my old bones will end up abandoned here. I'd better go back to my hometown and enjoy a few peaceful days.
"Old Yu, Old Yu!" Yu Zhaohua knew immediately it was Aunt Wang from next door calling him. Sigh, he was so focused on greeting Chen Hong that he forgot about his old friend who came with him.
"Hey, I'm here, Aunt Wang!" Yu Zhaohua quickly called to her neighbor.
"Oh dear, you old man, it's a good thing your legs aren't so good, how come you ran so fast today? I turned around after buying groceries and couldn't find you."
"If I lose you, your son and daughter-in-law will come to my door to settle accounts!" Aunt Wang complained to Zhaohua.
Yu Zhaohua smiled ingratiatingly, "Aunt Wang, don't joke around. I'm so old, how could I possibly lose anything?"
Besides, even if I really got lost, my son and daughter-in-law wouldn't be able to find you. I'm not a child anymore; if I really got lost, would you be responsible?
The plump old lady, Aunt Wang, asked curiously, "Old Yu, I saw you talking to a pretty woman from afar. Who is that? She doesn't look like your daughter-in-law. Do you know such a clever person in Jinan?"
"She's not my current daughter-in-law, she's my ex-daughter-in-law, the one Yu Hai divorced before. Her family isn't from Changqing."
She said she had bought an apartment in this complex and was just coming up to take a look. I didn't expect to run into her in Jinan, so I stopped her and chatted for a while.
Grandma Wang clicked her tongue in amazement: "Wow, you're divorced, but she still talks to you? Your daughter-in-law seems to be a good person."
If it were me, after the divorce, I'd curse you out the moment I saw you, and avoid you as far away as possible. Why would I ever talk to you so affectionately?
Old Yu sighed, "That's right, our family is just unlucky. You've seen my daughter-in-law, she's talented, capable, kind-hearted, and very filial.
She also gave me a big, healthy grandson. My grandson was also very well-educated by his mother; he is both smart and sensible.
My ex-daughter-in-law is divorced but still lives in the same village. Yu Hai isn't home, and she takes good care of me, bringing me food and groceries. She's truly a rare find!
As she spoke, Yu Zhaohua choked up, unable to control her emotions for a moment.
Thinking about it, Chen Hong is the best in every way. Such a good girl, and Yu Hai is such a disappointment. He even cheated on her and got divorced.
Look at Chen Hong, raising her child alone, she not only built a three-story villa in the village, but also bought a new house in such a nice neighborhood in Jinan.
The son is so calculating and stingy that he and his wife only managed to buy a second-hand house.
