Qiao Shanshan has never had a child, and Wei Mingyuan has never really blamed her. However, Wei's mother has always been reluctant to let her have one. She called from her hometown and said that she was going to come to Beijing and that she had brought a secret recipe from her hometown.
Qiao Shanshan was frightened and kept making excuses to tell her not to come. But Wei's mother was no ordinary person. She packed her luggage and came to Beijing from her hometown. After making some inquiries, she found the team according to the address in Wei Mingyuan's letter.
When the sentry at the gate saw an elderly woman approaching, he immediately stopped her, saying that this was a military area and unauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter.
Mother Wei laughed and said, "What do you mean by 'unrelated person'? I am Wei Mingyuan's mother. My son, Xiaoyuan, is an officer and a leader in the team. He is very powerful! I am the mother of a leader, so how can I be considered an unrelated person?"
The sentry certainly recognized Wei Mingyuan, but he didn't expect Wei Mingyuan's mother to have this kind of demeanor.
"You're Captain Wei's mother, right? Please wait a moment, I'll have someone inform her right away."
Wei's mother came to Beijing without telling Wei Mingyuan and Qiao Shanshan. Qiao Shanshan thought that Wei's mother had given up her plans, but who knew that Wei's mother would come so suddenly, without giving her any time to prepare.
Mother Wei was a domineering person, and her words were not pleasant to hear. The sentry did not have a good impression of her and passed on the message to her expressionlessly. Not long after, Wei Mingyuan arrived with Qiao Shanshan. Both of them were covered in sweat from running. Wei Mingyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, it really is you!"
Mrs. Wei looked at Qiao Shanshan smugly. Qiao Shanshan was stunned. She had made up many reasons on the phone and repeatedly told Mrs. Wei not to come, but Mrs. Wei still came.
Why won't this old hag listen to me?
Qiao Shanshan forced a smile and said, "Mom."
Mother Wei held her head high, looking rather displeased. "Hmm, you still know how to call me 'Mom'? If I hadn't come over, would you have wanted our Wei family line to end?"
Qiao Shanshan was stunned and embarrassed. Others were watching, and Wei's mother said such things. Tomorrow, the whole compound would be talking about how Qiao Shanshan was being manipulated by her mother-in-law and how her mother-in-law didn't like her.
In a place like this team, there are many people and a lot of gossip. Many people love to see a joke, and Wei's mother doesn't give her any face at all.
Wei Mingyuan also felt bad, and took the old lady's bag, "Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have picked you up at the bus station!"
"If I had told you, would you still have let me come? Your daughter-in-law is quite something, doing everything she can to prevent me from coming. Doesn't she realize that this is my son's workplace, this is my son's home? Do I need her permission to come to my son's home?"
Qiao Shanshan looked unhappy and walked silently to the side. Wei Mingyuan hadn't expected his mother to be so direct, and he felt a little annoyed.
"Mom, why are you saying that? Qiao Shanshan isn't that kind of person. We're busy with work, and we're afraid that if we ask you to come over, we won't be able to take care of you. Besides, don't I send my monthly salary back to you all the time?"
"Send it back to me? How dare you say that! The ones you sent after you got married are the same as before!"
Wei Mingyuan was frightened by his mother's blaming tone. He sent most of his salary home, and if he dared to disobey, his mother would hang herself. She often complained to Wei Mingyuan that he had enjoyed all the good fortune in the family, that his younger brother was incompetent, and that he, as the older brother, was heartless. She said that he had a good job and got married, but he didn't care about his younger brother's life or death.
Wei's mother was noisy and argumentative, so Wei Mingyuan sent all his money home to keep her quiet.
Wei Mingyuan argued with Qiao Shanshan every month because of this meager salary. Judging from Wei's mother's words, she was not satisfied with the amount of money he sent home.
Wei Mingyuan was stunned. "What's wrong with the same thing? I didn't give Qiao Shanshan any money for household expenses after we got married. I sent it all back to you. We can't even afford to eat ourselves. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Mother Wei sneered, "Do you think your old mother is stupid? That she would believe you sent all your money home? Logically speaking, you should have been promoted by now. I figured you must have gotten a raise after the promotion, but you never told your mother. You even sent me this little bit of money back home, and gave the rest to your wife! I came here today to ask your boss about your promotion, to see how much salary you actually get, and to see if you've been lying to me!"
Every night before going to sleep, Wei's parents would have wild thoughts, both feeling that Wei Mingyuan must have taken a lot of money, and that sending this little bit home was nothing. After all, who doesn't have selfish motives? Wei Mingyuan must have some too!
They never imagined that Wei Mingyuan was truly selfless and genuinely argued with his wife every day just to send them money.
Wei Mingyuan was speechless at his mother's words, and Qiao Shanshan also looked sarcastic. Wei Mingyuan felt quite ironic looking at Qiao Shanshan's expression.
How could his mother think of him like that!
So, despite all the sacrifices he made for his family, his mother didn't appreciate it at all and even thought he was hiding money. Otherwise, who would be so foolish as to send every penny they earned home?
Wei Mingyuan was furious. "Mom, don't make trouble for me. I haven't been promoted at work, and I've always been stuck at the same salary. I send all my food money back to you every month! To save money, we've been splitting the bill with Qiao Shanshan. I do my own laundry, cooking, and housework every day. What more do you want? Don't make a scene. I'm already struggling like this, and you still want to cause me trouble!"
Mother Wei was stunned. Wei Mingyuan's words didn't seem like a lie. Could her son be so foolish as to send all his earnings home?
Mother Wei felt a little guilty for a moment, "Your wife married you, so she should be your servant. Why should I make you do laundry, cook, and housework?"
Wei Mingyuan was in the wrong. He cleverly suggested splitting the bill, but Qiao Shanshan then suggested splitting the housework as well. He had already said what he meant, so how could he take it back?
