"Of course! This son-in-law is really good. You didn't know that Liang Guangming had a second wife before, did you?" The old lady was also very talkative. She grabbed the person and wanted to tell him everything she knew.
Sister Liu shook her head. How would she know? She didn't inquire about her daughter-in-law's affairs at all.
The old woman perked up. "Liang Guangming's ex-wife died the year before last, right? Less than a month later, Liang Guangming found an old lady who was more than ten years younger than him. He treated her so well, buying her such thick gold bracelets, one for each wrist."
The old lady counted on her little fingers, "One gold ring on each finger, and I bought several necklaces, both thick and thin. Oh my, the woman in front of me has never seen a single gold bean, while this woman behind me seems to want to buy her a whole gold dress."
The old lady's tone was full of envy.
Ms. Liu: "His son and daughter have no objections?"
“What’s the use of having opinions? They’re spending their own money. Their son got so angry that he cut off all ties with Liang Guangming. They haven’t been in contact for the past two years. He didn’t even come this time because he was sick.”
"Why hire a nanny when there's an old lady like that?" Sister Liu noticed the loophole in the statement.
The old lady chuckled, "When she saw that Liang Guangming had suffered a stroke and couldn't take care of himself, she ran away, taking all the gold and money with her. That girl Lijun chased after her to the old lady's house, but the old lady wouldn't listen to reason, and Lijun got the gold and money back. Now Liang Guangming has no one to take care of him, hahaha."
The old lady laughed gleefully.
Sister Liu... So that's how the gold came about. And you're even giving it to her? That's making good use of waste, not a bit of it is wasted.
"Hiring a nanny must cost a lot of money, right?" Sister Liu suppressed her anger and continued to probe for information.
"Of course, that's the minimum," the old woman said, holding up her hand. "But even then, people don't want to do it. The old man is heavy as a mule, a lazy bum who can easily kill a whole bunch of people. Who would want to take care of him? People are willing to take care of younger ones, even if the pay is lower. Hey, what's your relationship to the Liang family?"
The old lady finally remembered to ask.
"I'm a distant relative of the Liang family. We haven't been in touch for many years. I happened to be passing through here on business, so I thought I'd come and visit," Sister Liu said, making up a lie.
"Then you shouldn't go look. You'll just have to throw a few more up there. It's not worth it," the old lady advised.
"They're sick and it's inconvenient for them, I'll come another day."
"Yes, I'll come another day," the old lady said happily after gossiping, and went off to buy groceries.
Sister Liu left the residential compound in a daze, tears streaming down her face. She knew her son was unreliable, but she never expected him to scheme against her like this, while claiming it was all for her own good.
Sister Liu opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound; tears streamed down her face.
Cao Jun was at his father-in-law's house, helping him change his father-in-law's pants that he had just soiled, while his wife, Liang Lijun, covered her nose.
Cao Jun stuffed his pants into a garbage bag, went to fetch water, wiped his father-in-law clean, and only dared to breathe heavily after leaving the bedroom, then felt nauseous again.
"When will your mother be able to come?" asked Liang Lijun, the daughter-in-law.
Cao Jun wiped away the tears that streamed down his face from nausea. "Sigh, my mom doesn't agree."
