After Yao Tongjia finished the call, the elegant aunt seemed to have many questions: "Then why don't you come and live with your dad? I thought your family only had your cousin living alone!"
Yao Tongjia also wants her mother to integrate into the community as soon as possible: "My brother and I were admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Peking University respectively in the last college entrance examination. We both took classes there, so we didn't come here!"
"What about Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Peking University? Are they that prestigious?" Her own child hadn't even taken the college entrance exam yet; only her nephew and niece had, and they only got into ordinary universities in their hometown!
Even so, the elders in the family happily prepared several tables of wine, but Yao Yanxin kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word!
"Your mother is so tight-lipped! She hasn't said a word. Didn't you say you have a younger brother? You don't look that old. How old is your brother?"
My brother and I are twins, a boy and a girl! We're the same age!
"What twins? That's incredible!" Anyone who has twins is the envy of others, but Old Lady Ruan is actually going to sell herself and her two children together for the sake of an illegitimate daughter!
That's absolutely outrageous! Just throw that old woman out; why let her bully us?
"Your mother is too weak!" the elegant aunt exclaimed!
“My mom is just too worried. She doesn’t even say much to me. If I hadn’t come over, she would still be putting up with it! Auntie, how much was your phone bill? I’ll pay you!”
"No need, no need, it's just a phone call. Go back quickly and see how your mother is!"
Yao Tongjia could only say thank you again and return to the courtyard, where Old Lady Ruan was furiously berating Yao Yanxin.
"You vixen! You've turned my perfectly good son away from me. A person like you deserves to be ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand!"
Yao Tongjia grabbed Ruan Tian's hair, pulled her in front of Old Lady Ruan, and slapped Ruan Tian twice hard in front of her: "Keep cursing, keep cursing, one slap for every curse!"
"Let's see if you're tougher on the outside than on the inside!" This old man Ruan was already paralyzed in bed, so she couldn't hit him; if she hurt him, it would be to her advantage!
"You bastard, how dare you hit Sweetie!"
"Of course she did it for you! Look at you, you're paralyzed, and she still drags you here to put on a show. I feel so sorry for you! Everything she has now is thanks to you!"
"Instead of taking good care of you at home, she leaves you here and dresses up and goes around looking all fancy, as if she's going to take the college entrance exam? Did you even bring your books?"
These words made Ruan Tian's eyes flicker. She hadn't been studying properly in class, and she hadn't even scored 100 points on the last exam.
But she painted a big, round picture for Old Lady Ruan, saying that she would definitely get into a top university like Huada or Peking University, and then get a job in the best organization.
From now on, we will definitely give her 100 yuan a month to spend and let her live in a small two-story courtyard. Old Mrs. Ruan had no doubts at all and believed us completely.
I never imagined that a new employee could be allocated such a nice house and have such a high salary.
Old Man Ruan arrived quickly. In fact, the nursing home was located near the military region. Accompanied by Uncle Hai, he entered the courtyard shakily.
Hearing the call, Yao Tongjia quickly came out to greet him. Looking up at Old Man Ruan, she saw that he seemed much more energetic than last time. She went up to help him and said, "Grandpa, you're feeling better, aren't you?"
Old Man Ruan smiled when he saw Yao Tongjia: "Tongtong, I feel much better after taking your medicine. Thank you!"
"It's good that it works. There's not much left, is there? I'll make more later and have Dad give it to you!"
"You can come and see this old man too. Your father is very busy, so let's not trouble him. Come and see me with your brother!"
Seeing the old man's earnest words, Yao Tongjia could only nod: "Okay, next time I'll make it better and bring Axu with me to visit you!"
Yao Tongjia helped Old Man Ruan into the main room, where she saw Old Woman Ruan lying on the sofa. She seemed to have heard Old Man Ruan's voice and was trying her best to tidy herself up!
Old Man Ruan sneered: "What are you doing? You think a month is too much? How about I give you 10 yuan from now on? If you don't behave, I won't give you a single penny and you'll be left to fend for yourself!"
Grandma Ruan struggled to sit up, but failed and fell back down: "30 yuan isn't enough for me and Tian Tian to live on, why are you cutting my food allowance? 50 yuan would be more than enough!"
"Give me 50 yuan? Even 100 yuan wouldn't be enough. Don't you think about how free medical care is? No matter how much money I give you, it's all spent by your dear granddaughter. Do you think it'll be enough for you?"
More than half a year has passed since the divorce. Although he hasn't visited his wife, he has asked people to keep an eye on her, since they were someone who spent most of their lives together.
If it weren't for the old woman being so unreasonable, and if he didn't want to leave any potential problems for Ruan Shengpeng, he wouldn't have gone to such extremes. But even after he had gone this far, the old woman was still stubborn and unyielding!
"I've already said that Si'er isn't our child. Didn't you used to dislike him the most? Why are you here harassing him now?"
"I raised him when he was young, so shouldn't he take care of me when I'm old?"
"I raised him when he was young, and I'll be taking care of him when he's old. What business is it of yours? I've already arranged your retirement. Can't you just shut up?"
“I told you before that I would transfer the ownership of that courtyard to you, but I regret it now. I’m taking it back now. You have to rent a place to live on your own. If you keep making trouble, I’ll cut your monthly allowance!”
"How could you do this?" Old Mrs. Ruan was really anxious now. Ruan Tian had previously said that she wanted to sell the courtyard and the two of them come to the city to buy a smaller house.
This way, the two of them won't be too far removed from their previous circle. Now that the old man wants to take it back, how will they sell their own courtyard?
"I'll go back, just don't take my courtyard back!" Old Mrs. Ruan relented. She had only come here to vent her anger; she was too lonely living alone in that courtyard.
Ruan Tian has too many things to do outside. As a paralyzed person, she looks up at the sky all day long, and she is so lonely! More importantly, there is no one to clean up her messes!
She thought about it for a long time and concluded that only her fourth daughter-in-law was easy to bully; she figured that if she went to the others, they wouldn't even let her in the door.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Ruan softened her tone: "Fourth daughter-in-law, I won't make things difficult for you in the future. Just let me live here in my old age, okay? Look how pitiful I am now, I can't even move around, and they didn't even clean me up after I had an accident!"
"I've been here for a few days, and you've taken such good care of me. I'm really grateful!"
Before Yao Yanxin could speak, Yao Tongjia immediately retorted, "Thank you? Your thanks are expressed by hurling insults at my mother? Besides, you're about to sell our entire family of three, and my mother still has to take care of you!"
"If there's such a good thing in the world, get out of here!"
