Old Mrs. Xiao has lived in the county town for more than half a year and has gotten used to it. She doesn't want to go back to the countryside. However, if she doesn't go back to the countryside, her youngest son has to be willing to support her. If she wants her youngest son to be willing to support her, she can't make a fuss, she has to protect her youngest son, and she can't use her youngest son's money to support her eldest son's family.
Moreover, although she helped her eldest son so much, the eldest daughter-in-law was not as nice to her as the younger daughter-in-law. Although the younger daughter-in-law did not like to give money to the eldest son's family, everyone ate the same meals three times a day. She ate what the two grandsons ate. They never treated her harshly, nor did they eat behind her back.
After she figured it out, she stopped making a fuss. When her eldest son came to ask for money, she said she had none. He coaxed her to ask her younger son for it.
She then asked her eldest son: "They say the eldest brother is like a father. How much have you helped your younger brother? How much has he helped your family since he came to the county to work? Speak honestly, if you can tell me how much you have helped your younger brother, don't even mention 500 yuan, I will get all 5,000 yuan for you. I made Xiao Mingxian lose face in the county, and I will get it all for you. Tell me, tell me everything.
In the past, the older generation said that they would live with the eldest brother in their old age. I thought about it. If I live with you in my old age, not to mention whether you will support me, your younger brother will be exhausted to death by you, because if I live with you in my old age, your younger brother will have to support you and my family. I might as well live with him directly in my old age.
Whoever's son is raised by whom, whoever's mother is raised by whom. If you can't raise me, you can put the blame on your brother, as long as you don't worry about others stabbing you in the back."
After her eldest son was driven away, although he came a few times, he never mentioned the money again, but he also didn't mention paying it back.
She pretended to be ignorant and did everything she could. As long as her youngest son didn't drive her away, she would stay.
After observing her youngest son's income, she felt happy. Finally, their Xiao family had risen. Even if these two grandsons were not as good at studying as their eldest sister, with this business and the money left by her youngest son, they were better than the three grandsons from her eldest son's family.
Now, the granddaughter was brought back by a car. Although the youngest son earned a lot of money every day and had a small truck for work, it was nowhere as impressive as the cars. The row of four cars just now were so impressive!
She came closer to her granddaughter and asked, "Meizi, why didn't your fiancé send you back? Who was that car just now?"
Xiao Chunmei was startled by the sudden sound. Why was her grandma still at home?
"Grandma, Zhou Hua is in the car! It's the Zhou family's car. We just came back from the capital and are so tired. He will come home in a few days."
The old lady smiled brightly when she heard this. "Oh! That's great! When he comes, I'll talk to him. I was in a hurry the last few times I came, so I didn't have a good chat with him."
Xiao Chunmei could only smile and say, "As long as you are happy, whatever you say is fine."
Xiao's mother left the store with her daughter on the pretext of helping her daughter take her luggage home. On the way, she told her daughter about the transformation of her grandmother in the past six months.
"Your dad secretly told me that as long as she doesn't make a fuss and as long as she can stick to our side, he won't chase your grandma away, but he won't take the initiative to mention the issue of taking care of her, and he certainly won't take on all the responsibilities of your grandma."
Xiao Chunmei was surprised, "Oh my! How did my dad figure it out?"
Mother Xiao nodded at her, "Your father has always been clear-headed, okay? He gave more money in the past because he was afraid that your aunt would mistreat your grandmother. It wasn't easy for your grandmother to raise you and your brother as a widow at a young age. Now that your grandmother is here, she understands everything. How could your father still be so foolish? I think you are the foolish one. Do you think your father has been doing business for nothing and can't even understand the basic ways of the world?"
Xiao Chunmei giggled, "If my grandma could change and not target me and always tell girls what to do, I wouldn't object to her living with us."
Xiao's mother was relieved that her daughter had no objection.
The Zhou family's car drove into the food yard of Xuzhen Town. Old Man Xiao followed the Zhou family's car into the staff quarters. The cement road had been there for more than 40 days and could be used by cars, so the car drove directly into the parking lot.
After the bumpy ride, the old man looked much less energetic and had no time to visit the surroundings, so he asked Zhou Xiang to arrange accommodation for him as he needed to get some sleep.
Seeing that he looked exhausted, Zhou Xiang asked Ling Ran to take him to stay in the east of Nanlou, including the driver and bodyguards, and Xiaoxiao would live with her and Zhong Lan.
When Mr. Xiao saw that his granddaughter was arranged to sit next to him, he went to rest with peace of mind.
Zhou's mother did not support Zhonglan living upstairs because it was unsafe.
Zhou wanted to ask his mother where was the clean and safe place on the first floor?
In the end, the mother and daughter decided to arrange Zhonglan to live on the second floor of Zhou Xiang's apartment, and Zhou's mother asked Ling Ran to help move the furniture.
Zhou Xiang walked around the house, put away the things, went into the kitchen and "put" them out again, piling them up from big to small. There were even a lot of things placed on the stove. If you didn't pay attention, you couldn't tell how many furniture and chairs there were.
Then, a bed that looked very comfortable was selected and placed in the original position of the wooden sofa; the dressing table and dressing stool were placed under the window; a four-door wardrobe was placed at the end of the bed, which was the position of the TV cabinet; a set of fabric sofas were placed in the position of the dining table, plus a small wooden table; a four-fold screen blocked the side of the bed.
The mattress, sheets, quilt and pillow all fell on the bed.
Mother Zhou was stunned. After she came to her senses, she quickly looked at Ling Ran. Seeing Ling Ran standing at the door guarding her, she really didn't know whether she should teach her little girl a lesson for being so careless.
Ling Ran naturally knew what Zhou's mother was worried about. In order to appease his future mother-in-law, he told Zhou's mother the pros and cons of the Heart Seal.
Zhou's mother was relieved and tapped her daughter's forehead, "There are people everywhere in the house!"
Zhou Xiang put his arm around his mother and said, "I know no one is coming up here. Isn't Ling Ran watching?"
