"Honey, don't be so possessive of your parents' money. It's their freedom to decide how to use their assets. Your constant eye on them will only annoy people. Wouldn't it be better to just let things take their course?"
Objectively speaking, my second brother and sister-in-law have sacrificed far more than we have over the years. In order to take care of the elderly, their children all moved out early. At least I can't be as considerate of my mother-in-law and grandmother as my sister-in-law is, so I won't speculate on what will happen in the future.
"If they give me something, I'm very happy and grateful. If they don't, I feel it's only fair. I can live well on my own. Of course, I'll still show my respect in my own way, but not to curry favor with them."
Su Mo ladled herself a bowl of chicken soup. "Aunt Liu's cooking is amazing! It's so delicious!"
The third brother clutched his chest and silently returned to his room. Dong Yun was too greedy, and his wife was too indifferent. Couldn't they find a balance?
But what my wife said is right. If we're always eyeing our parents' pockets, they're bound to resent it.
They're all like Li Lao Er, who suffered a major disaster in Wen Jiabao's case. Compared to him, he's nothing. Why should one live a peaceful life when one already has a career?
Su Mo looked at the third brother's broken back and smiled helplessly. This guy just loves to compete for favor. If he gives someone an extra penny, he feels that he is not valued and must get two pennies to show that he is different.
As soon as Xiaoyuer got home from school, Dong Yun pulled him into the house.
Little Fish frowned, looking very impatient. "What? I still have homework to do. This lousy school, the teachers can't teach anything."
Before attending an international school, Xiaoyuer had excellent grades, ranking among the top students in her class.
After transferring back from the international school, her grades plummeted. She always liked to brag to her classmates about the international school and show off her superiority, which led to her being ostracized by her classmates.
Dong Yun smiled ingratiatingly, "Baby, just bear with it a little longer, it'll be fine in a while."
Xiaoyuer looked at Dong Yun suspiciously, "What do you mean? My dad's stocks have rebounded?"
Thinking of this possibility, Xiaoyuer's eyes lit up. She didn't want to see these poor, stingy teachers and classmates at all.
Dong Yun smiled and shook his head.
The light in Xiaoyuer's eyes immediately disappeared. "If you're not going to talk, then don't. Stop dawdling. Go out, I want to read."
Seeing that the girl was getting impatient, Dong Yun didn't dare to keep her in suspense any longer. "Your dad was discharged from the hospital today. He went back to your grandparents' place first, but your second aunt brought him back. Your second aunt said that your dad has a family and it's not their turn to take care of him. I thought about it a lot. Your dad and I can still manage, but it's hard on you. If I divorce your dad, you and your dad can both live a good life. I'll just have to suffer a little. So this afternoon, your dad and I went through with the divorce procedures."
Dong Yun looked at Xiaoyuer expectantly, hoping she would show a touched expression.
Little Fish was a little confused. "Divorced? What about my dad?"
“I went back to your grandparents’ place,” Dong Yun said with a smile.
