Yang Yufen dug a hole in the ground, and her pent-up anger had mostly dissipated. Oh well, she was her own daughter, but she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law.
Yang Yufen put the hoe away, composed herself, and returned to the front yard, where she saw the young couple bathing their two children.
I was hoping the young couple would spend more time together, but they seem to be getting along quite well right now.
"Mom, there's rice porridge in the kitchen. You can eat first."
Shen Xianjun nudged Qin Nian with his arm. Qin Nian took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly.
"good."
Yang Yufen went to the kitchen, and when she came out after eating, the two children had already been cleaned up and were playing on the bamboo bed again.
"Mom, Niannian has something to tell you."
Seeing that his wife remained silent, Shen Xianjun took the initiative to start a conversation.
He only has three days!
"Does Niannian have something to say?"
Yang Yufen spoke gently, her gaze fixed on Qin Nian.
"Yes, yes, Mom, please sit down first."
Qin Nian forced a smile, then secretly pinched Shen Xianjun, who grinned silently despite the pain.
"Mom, the teacher said today that the research institute has released the quota for government-sponsored study abroad. I meet the requirements. During the government-sponsored study abroad period, although there is no salary, there is a subsidy, which is higher than the salary. The only problem is that I can only come back after two years."
Qin Nian decided to go all out, but she didn't dare to look up at Yang Yufen's face. Shen Xianjun was also nervous, wondering how he could offer to help.
"Two years, going so far away, to a place where you don't know anyone, how much hardship must you endure?"
Yang Yufen's brows furrowed immediately.
Shen Xianjun was about to speak when he heard these words and was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it. How could his mother say such a thing?
"Mom, I..."
The moment Qin Nian finished speaking, she regretted it and thought, "Forget it." Just as she was about to say that she wouldn't go, she was shocked by her mother-in-law's words.
"Let's take a family photo later."
Yang Yufen's words startled Shen Xianjun, who stood up first.
"Mom, I'm your biological child!"
"If you weren't my biological child, would I be here interfering in your affairs?"
Yang Yufen glared at Shen Xianjun with annoyance, and Shen Xianjun immediately became obedient.
"That's really unfair of you."
Shen Xianjun muttered something.
"Look at the things you've done! I raised you all these years, but Niannian wasn't raised by me. Dabao and Erbao are your own children. If you don't sow the seed, how can those kids just spring up on their own?"
Before Yang Yufen could finish her sentence, Qin Nian blushed, and Yang Yufen realized she had already said everything.
"So, Mom, you agree? What about my aunt's side?"
Shen Xianjun quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"You're the only one who knows how to assign me tasks. I'm leaving in three days. Pack your things and spend some quality time with the kids. You don't need to worry about me."
Yang Yufen spoke irritably. If it weren't for this kid, she wouldn't have said such rude things.
"I'm going to put the baby to sleep."
Shen Xianjun hurriedly fled. He was joking; his mother had already agreed, and he didn't want to be cannon fodder here.
As Qin Nian watched the man run away, she suddenly understood why her mother-in-law got angry whenever she saw him.
"mom."
"Sigh~"
Yang Yufen let out a long sigh.
"sorry."
Qin Nian lowered her head.
“You haven’t wronged me. When are you leaving? Spend more time with the children before you go. Your mother is still healthy and can take care of you for many more years.”
