Chapter 201 Partiality
Chapter 202 Partiality
Mother Fang's eyes turned red as she talked about the past.
"Your aunt is such a worry to me. She comes to our house every day after she lost her job, saying that she wants to help me take care of your grandma, but she knows exactly what she is thinking.
During that time, your uncle's restaurant opened a branch and was short of staff, so I went to help. I thought if your aunt could come home to take care of your grandmother, I would be able to free up my hands. But I never thought that Wang Huizheng was so calculating..."
At first, my aunt came to our house and took care of the old lady for a few days, but she caused a lot of trouble for the family.
My mother's kitchen used to be kept very clean and tidy. However, in order to cook for the old lady, my aunt not only messed up the kitchen, but also took out all the rice, flour, meat and vegetables in the house, and even took out all the dried goods.
When Fang's mother went home to cook, she found the kitchen empty. When she asked her aunt where the things had gone, she said with confidence.
"I'm not used to your gas stove. Fortunately, the old lady likes the food I cook. I moved everything to my own home and send it to you every day. It also saves your family gas money..."
Faced with the aunt's unreasonable demands, Fang's mother was really speechless, but then she thought that if she could deliver meals to the old lady on time every day and talk to her, it would not be impossible to give her these things.
But within two days, Mrs. Fang started to lose her temper. She not only threw things around, but also cried and made a scene in the house, scolding Fang's mother for being unfilial and saying that Fang's mother wanted to leave her, an old woman, at home and starve her to death.
Fang Qing was very puzzled, "Doesn't my aunt bring meals to grandma every day?"
My parents shook their heads and sighed, "Your great aunt is really stubborn. She emptied all our things and didn't send meals to your grandma on time! If I hadn't come back to get something that day, I wouldn't have known what your great aunt gave your grandma to eat!"
That day, Fang's mother looked at the bowl of watery porridge and a dry and hard cornmeal cake in front of the old lady, and she was so angry that her blood pressure rose.
"Your grandma is old, and her teeth and appetite are not as good as before. Your aunt knows it, and I specially leave her a few dozen yuan every day so that she can buy some vegetables and fruits for your grandma, but she puts all the money in her trouser pocket, and your grandma doesn't get anything to eat!"
Fang Qing understood that the great aunt just wanted to get all the things into her own hands and didn't care about grandma's life or death at all.
Maybe when facing grandma, he will turn the tables and put all the blame on his mother.
Looking at the white hair on his mother's temples, Fang Qing suddenly understood why his mother had aged so much in just one year.
"Mom, you've worked hard."
Fang Qing stayed by her mother's side and cooked porridge for her, asking her mother to sit down and rest. After they fed Grandma Fang and gave her a bath, the mother and daughter went to bed together.
Although Mrs. Fang didn't like her daughter-in-law and granddaughter very much, she still enjoyed having someone take care of her in such a meticulous manner.
The next morning, Old Mrs. Fang called everyone back from each family to have a reunion dinner together and discuss the wedding date with Fang Deli.
When the sun was at its zenith, the whole family came back.
Seeing the beautiful Tracy standing next to Fang Deli, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Aunt Fang Qing noticed at a glance that everything Tracy was wearing and wearing were all branded. She was immediately envious and said, "Hey, Tracy is different because she comes from a big city. Look at how she's dressed. She's really luxurious."
Tracy was very pleased with her aunt's flattery, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
"Big sister, you are so polite. I just wear this for fun..."
The two people were chatting animatedly, but over there, sister-in-law Fang Qing was a little dissatisfied with Tracy's behavior. She just walked up to say hello and went into the kitchen to help her sister-in-law prepare lunch.
"Sister-in-law, why do I feel that this woman doesn't know how to live a good life? Deli is so stupid that he will be controlled by others. Just wait and see. If they get married, Deli's words will not be heard."
Fang's mother Liu Chunxia was washing vegetables. When she heard her sister-in-law's complaints, she smiled and shook her head. "We can't interfere in the couple's affairs. As long as the girl has a bad character and can live a good life with Deli, that's enough."
When Fang Cuiying heard that, she realized it was the case, so she simply stopped caring about it.
But at night, something Old Mrs. Fang did made her children unable to sit still any longer.
After the family had finished their reunion dinner, they were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and eating fruit when the old lady came out of her room tremblingly, taking out a square box.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old lady opened the box, took out a passbook and gave it to her youngest son.
"I have waited so long for my son Deli to get married and start a family. I don't have much else, but this passbook contains the wealth I have accumulated over the years. You two can use it to buy a house and get married. When you are married, I will move in with you. While I can still move, you should quickly give me a big fat grandson..."
Old Mrs. Fang was still chattering about her aspirations for the future, but the smile on Tracy's face beside her gradually faded from excitement at the beginning.
Everyone looked at the passbook in the old lady's hand, with different thoughts in their minds.
Aunt Fang Qing had always been thinking about the passbook in her mother's hand since her early years. However, ever since she embezzled public funds that year and sold the old house to fill the hole, she felt ashamed at home. So even though she knew that the old lady had money, she was embarrassed to step forward.
Fang's mother looked at the old lady's passbook without much reaction.
The reason why I invited the old lady to live with me was that I didn't want to be known as an unfilial person, so naturally I wouldn't be thinking about the money she had.
But after all, they had lived together for several years, and the old lady was usually wary of her like a thief. When she did things for her, she would spend half a day asking for money even if she was short of a dollar. However, she still served her in different ways every day, and still got her approval.
But now that her old son is back, she gave the passbook away without saying a word. Isn't she too biased?
Liu Chunxia sat there feeling sad. Her sister-in-law beside her also felt that it was unfair for her second sister-in-law. She opened her mouth to speak in rebuttal, but was held back by her sister-in-law.
Looking at her second sister-in-law's eyes, Fang Cuiying sighed, thinking that her mother was too partial.
Although Tracy looked at the passbook handed over by Fang Deli, a hint of calculation flashed in her smiling eyes.
Looking up at Old Mrs. Fang, Tracy had a gentle smile on her face, but when she lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly.
Humph, you want me to take care of you in your old age with just this little money?
Damn old woman, you have a nice idea!
