"You're so quick to talk, you had to scheme in front of your father. Now look what happened, all your efforts have been in vain." Cao Jun was very unwilling. He had served his father-in-law for so long, but he hadn't gotten anything in return.
"I thought he was paralyzed in bed and his mind wasn't working properly, but who knew he was still clear-headed? What should we do now?" Liang Lijun also regretted that she should have kept quiet in front of the old man.
"What can we do? Just let it be. Your dad has already married the old lady. Whatever we schemed against him, he'll give back to us. He's even made a will. Your dad is clearly trying to get something for nothing." Cao Jun saw through it all. All his efforts had been in vain.
Liang Lijun bit her lip. "My dad is angry with me. No matter what, I am his biological daughter. Once he calms down, everything will be fine, and we will continue to be filial to him."
Cao Jun: "If your dad really cared about his relationship with his daughter, he wouldn't have left like this. He even got a marriage certificate with the old lady. You know the significance of getting a marriage certificate, right? Even if your dad is gone now, he still has to give her half of his estate, not to mention that he also made a will. If you want to come, come yourself. I'm not coming to be a sucker."
"Don't I understand? I came here to ease tensions, I came here for myself. If your mother had married my father, would all this mess have happened? It's all your mother's fault." Liang Lijun didn't blame herself and shifted the blame to Sister Liu.
Cao Jun sighed, agreeing with his wife's statement. If his mother had married his father-in-law, even if his father-in-law recovered and wanted to back out, his mother would still be entitled to a house. With his mother's skills, his father-in-law wouldn't be able to do without her even after he recovered. It was all because of this old lady's willfulness. A house costs so much, and it's gone just like that.
Liang Lijun: "Hey, I've been so busy with my dad lately, I forgot to ask you, your mom isn't living in the tenement, where did she go?"
"How would I know? My mom changed her phone number, and I can't contact her." After Cao Jun recovered, he went to see Sister Liu several times, hoping to continue to matchmake her with his father-in-law, but unfortunately, he couldn't get in touch with her.
"Your mother didn't go looking for an old man, did she?" Liang Lijun asked suspiciously.
Cao Jun: "No, it's much better to find an old man or your dad."
“That’s true. With your mother’s circumstances, she should be incredibly lucky to have found my father. If your mother isn’t home, where did she go?” Liang Lijun and Cao Jun were right. With her mother-in-law’s circumstances, could she have found her father without them? That would be marrying above her station.
“She probably went somewhere to do some small business. My mom is used to being alone and doesn’t want to find a partner, so she’s hiding away,” Cao Jun analyzed.
“If your mother hadn’t been so ungrateful, would we be in such a passive position today? My father is a womanizer; he can’t take his eyes off the old lady. Now that we’ve already promised to give her the things, how are we going to get them back?” Liang Lijun pushed all the blame onto Sister Liu.
Cao Jun felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had been taking care of the child for so long, cleaning up after him, but hadn't received any reward. "Things have come to this point, there's nothing we can do. We can only hope that your father will have a change of heart."
Liang Lijun glared at Cao Jun. Her father was old and blind, and had no conscience whatsoever. She now hoped that the old lady would get some disease and die suddenly, so that there would still be room for things to turn around.
The old lady was not even sixty years old yet, and she was in excellent health. Liang Lijun could only think about it, and the couple were filled with regret but had no other choice.
That evening, when Old Man Guan went to pick up Sister Liu, Sister Liu told him about it: "It really was Liang Guangming who left on his own. He gave all his property to the old lady he found later. I'm heartbroken."
“If he hadn’t severed ties with his son, your son and daughter-in-law wouldn’t have been so greedy. They would have been grateful if you gave them half of his wealth and would have treated the old man like royalty,” Old Man Guan analyzed.
Sister Liu thought about it and realized that it made sense. The elderly usually leave their property to their sons, and the daughters are lucky if they can get a share of the wealth. Liang Guangming stopped contacting his son and became seriously ill, which made Liang Lijun and Cao Jun feel that they had a chance to take all the property for themselves.
