Looking at Wu Chunlan, Yan Junting shook his head in disappointment.
He always knew his mother was selfish, but he never imagined she would be this selfish.
Once something happens, she only thinks about herself, and her spouse and children are no longer her concern.
Yan Qiuting, standing to the side, looked at Wu Chunlan with disbelief and asked, "Mother, on the other hand, if you were paralyzed, my father would definitely take care of you hand and foot, do you believe that?"
Wu Chunlan remained silent; she believed what she was told.
Wu Chunlan's health was not good. She would fall ill several times a year, with aches and pains here and there. When she was in pain, she would scream and shout. Yan Gusheng would patiently take care of her without ever uttering a word of complaint.
But when Yan Gusheng fell ill, Wu Chunlan's first thing to do was to shirk responsibility. She probably thinks that she should have not saved Yan Gusheng in the first place, and that it would have been better for him to die than to be paralyzed.
“That’s not necessarily true.” At this moment, Wu Chunlan refused to acknowledge Yan Gusheng’s kindness to her. She muttered, “You’ve never taken care of someone who’s been bedridden for a long time, so of course you’re just saying nice things. Anyway, it’s not you who’s taking care of them.”
At this point, she glanced at Yan Junting and his siblings and snorted, "People are all the same. When assigning tasks to others, it's just a matter of a word. But when it comes to their own work, something just doesn't feel right."
“If you three are truly filial, what’s wrong with spending a little more money? It’s not like you can’t afford it.”
"Oh no," she thought, her gaze lingering on Yan Junting and Yun Duoduo. "Especially Junting, you earn quite a bit of money a month now. Besides, Duoduo runs such a big factory. How could she not make money? Do you really need these few dozen yuan?"
Looking at Wu Chunlan, the Yun and Li families frowned. They really hadn't expected Yun Duoduo's mother-in-law to be this kind of person.
Besides, it's her daughter's ability to earn money; does that mean all the money she earns has to be spent on her?
Immediately, Yun Duoduo's biological mother, Ye Wenyue, gave a cold laugh and asked Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, do you need me to help you with this?"
Yun Duoduo shook her head at her, indicating that she could handle it.
Then, Yun Duoduo looked at Wu Chunlan with a faint smile and said slowly, "Mother, we don't really lack this money, but I think Junting and the others are right, you are the most suitable person to take care of Father."
"A spouse is a companion in youth, and an old spouse is a companion in old age." Doesn't this mean that when you need someone to take care of you in your old age, your spouse is the most suitable person?
Looking at Yun Duoduo, Wu Chunlan became even more displeased. "Duoduo, how can you talk like that? Although you are my daughter-in-law, I have treated you well since you married into the Yan family. Why aren't you helping me?"
Yun Duoduo shook her head. "Mom, it's not that I don't want to help you, I'm just stating the facts."
"Let's stick to the facts. I think you're just ungrateful." Wu Chunlan glanced at Yun Duoduo, as if she had been really good to Yun Duoduo before.
In reality, she and Duoduo had only spent a few days together.
When it comes to minor issues, everyone makes concessions to each other. As for who is nicer to whom, that's really not the case.
That's why people say that people need to get along for a long time. If it weren't for Yan Gusheng's incident, Yun Duoduo would never have thought that Wu Chunlan would act this way.
“You…” Yun Duoduo was too lazy to argue with Wu Chunlan, so she took a step back. “Okay, I won’t interfere in this matter. Let your three children discuss it and do whatever they want.”
After saying that, Yun Duoduo called the Li family and the Yun family aside, whispered the matter to them, asked them to put down the things they had brought to visit Yan Gusheng, and then went back first.
Seeing Wu Chunlan's expression, it was clear that this matter couldn't be resolved quickly, so she decided not to let the Yun and Li families laugh at the Yun family.
To be honest, only Wu Chunlan could have done something like this.
It wasn't even the final moment yet, and people were already scattering in the face of impending doom.
After the Yun and Li families left, Yan Junting, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked at Wu Chunlan and asked coldly, "Mother, stop rambling. I'll just ask you one question: are you willing to take care of my father?"
This time, Wu Chunlan didn't even try to hide it and directly refused, saying, "No matter how many times you ask, I'm not willing."
Yan Junting looked at her and nodded slightly, "Alright, I'll hire someone to take care of my father. You can go home."
Immediately afterwards, Yan Junting said, "I won't skimp on your living expenses. Before, I gave you fifteen yuan a month for the two of you. Now that Dad is staying in Kyoto, I'll give you half, seven yuan and fifty cents a month. Not a penny more."
After saying that, without waiting for Wu Chunlan to say anything more, Yan Junting pointed to Yan Qiuting next to him and said, "Qiuting, hurry up and buy a train ticket, take your mother to the train station tonight, and let her go home by herself."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qiuting rolled his eyes at Wu Chunlan and deliberately added, "Okay, I'll go right now."
That's what they said, but they didn't actually move.
Wu Chunlan was a little scared. She stammered and asked, "Wh-what do you mean? You want me to go back by myself? How am I supposed to live if I go back by myself?"
"Why can't we continue?" Yan Junting frowned at her. "You have arms and legs, and we've given you a lot of money. What's wrong with continuing?"
Wu Chunlan understood now that Yan Junting meant he was going to leave her alone in the countryside to fend for herself, which she was naturally unwilling to do.
What can you do with 7.5 yuan a month? It's not even enough to eat.
She immediately shouted angrily at Yan Junting, "Yan Junting, I am your biological mother, not some stepmother. How can you treat me like this just because of your father?"
"How have I treated you?" Yan Junting looked at her and sneered coldly, "Have I failed to support you in your old age, or provided you with food and drink, or given you money to spend?"
"Or, let me ask you the opposite: how can you be a good spouse and a good mother?"
Originally, Yan Junting hadn't planned to tell Wu Chunlan about these things, but now that things had come to this point, he couldn't help but say, "That's right, the three of us siblings are earning money now, unlike before when we couldn't even afford to eat. But we earned this money through hard work."
"Leaving aside my job, let's talk about my wife, Qiu Ting, and Hong Lan. Do you know what time they work overtime at their factory, and how many hours they work a day?"
Wu Chunlan remained silent. In her eyes, no matter how hard they worked, it couldn't be as hard as when they used to eat from the same pot.
Besides, she had stayed here for a while before and felt that they didn't work very hard, only working a few hours a day, yet their wages were so high.
When she arrived, the factory had just opened and hadn't received many orders, so she wasn't too busy.
