"Alright, now that you're back, you'll be in charge of managing the household from now on."
Yang Yufen has been recuperating for the past six months. You can't deny that you're getting old. If something really happens, she'll be a burden to her children.
"Niannian, after you finish eating, come to my room and I'll give you my things."
"Okay, Mom, actually those things aren't urgent, they're the same as what you have."
Qin Nian added a bowl of soup to Yang Yufen's bowl.
"I'll feel at ease if I give it to you sooner."
Yang Yufen took the soup.
"Grandma, you should eat some meat."
Li Wu picked up a piece of meat for Yang Yufen.
"Eat, eat. Grandma is old and can't digest too much. It's almost evening, so you should eat more."
Yang Yufen serves food to the two children.
Qin Nian followed Yang Yufen into the house. The cabinet in the room was opened, revealing the safe embedded inside. Yang Yufen turned the combination and used the key to fully open it.
"Now all of this is yours. Mom is too old for dividends. I won't need them. The orchard contract between you and Aunt Wang is also here. Go and change it to your name when you have time."
"Mom, this is all your hard work. You don't need to keep it anymore. Xianjun and I have saved a lot of money now. We can keep these. You can keep the rest."
"I told you to take it, so just take it. Others would be too busy to take charge. Alright, stop refusing. You just got back today, so get some rest. I've already signed all the necessary authorization forms. You can take them and get things done when you have time."
Qin Nian carried the full load of things back into the house, but something felt off.
"Is it heavy? Why didn't you ask me to help you carry it?"
Shen Xianjun quickly took the things from Qin Nian's hands.
"Mom gave me all her belongings. The family savings books, property deeds, and other things are all here, along with some contracts."
"Does our family have that much wealth?"
Shen Xianjun was shocked.
"I have a feeling that something is not right."
Qin Nian felt uneasy and looked at Shen Xianjun, her mind not on the family property at all.
"Are you overthinking it? Or are you just too tired? I'll put your things in the cabinet first, then you go wash up and I'll give you a massage."
"may be."
Qin Nian nodded slightly.
The next morning, I saw my mother-in-law cooking noodles in the kitchen.
"Mom, why did you get up so early and cook for yourself?"
"It's rare for the whole family to be together. I haven't cooked in a long time. My old bones have been sitting around doing nothing. Cooking isn't that difficult. Try Mom's handmade noodles. Is it the kind of flavor you like?"
Yang Yufen smiled as she scooped up the noodles.
"The old lady got up early to knead the dough and wouldn't let anyone help."
"Wow, Grandma, it smells so good!"
Li Wu came downstairs and rushed into the kitchen.
"Hurry up and get out of here. Aren't you worried about the crowd? Go outside and wait to eat."
Yang Yufen smiled and patted her eldest grandson on the shoulder.
"Mom really loves you. When you were at home, Mom always liked to cook delicious food for you. I've wanted to eat Mom's handmade noodles for so long, and I only get to eat them because of you."
Shen Xianjun helped serve the noodles.
Are you coming back for lunch?
"I can't come back at noon, I have to come back at night. I've been coming back at night these past few days."
"Is your commute too long? Buy a car. There are so many cars on the streets now. You're so busy with work, having a car would be very convenient."
