Beibei can't stay here all the time because she has children at home, so she simply takes the children with her and travels back and forth between the two places, returning whenever she has a holiday.
As for Dangdang, who is still unmarried and has been a long-standing problem, she has been staying here with Liu Yun and Yu's mother.
However, Dangdang's marriage is a big deal in her mother's eyes, as she is a staunch advocate of not getting married, and now she's starting to urge her to get married again.
Mother Yu: "Dangdang! You're not getting any younger. Look, your sister's child is already in school, and your brother is married. It's time for you to find someone and settle down. Stop running around all over the world like crazy."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun quickly slipped away. If she didn't, she would inevitably be pressured to find more blind dates for Dangdang. She didn't want to be caught in the middle and suffer for nothing, so she decided to run away first.
Dangdang felt a headache coming on when she heard this. She didn't want to tell her grandma that she had no plans to get married at the moment, otherwise her grandma would urge her even more. "Grandma, I'm still young, there's no rush. I want to travel more."
Mother Yu: "You can still go out even after you're married! Look at your sister, she got married without getting married, and she has children. Doesn't she still travel around a lot?"
Dangdang's inner monologue: How can that be the same? Before her sister had kids, she could go out as much as she wanted, for as long as she wanted. Now that she has kids, her freedom has been halved. Besides, she doesn't plan to have kids; having kids would deform her body.
Yu's mother said, "How can you not get married and have children? What will you do when you get old?"
Dangdang: "I have money, I can live in a nursing home."
Yu's mother said, "If you live alone in a nursing home and don't have a child to support you, you'll be bullied to death. And if something happens to you later, like getting sick and needing surgery, you won't even have anyone to sign the consent form for you. It will be too late for you to regret it then."
Dangdang: "Grandma, don't worry! I have so many brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces, they definitely won't abandon me. Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen. Besides, it's not like I don't want to get married or have children, it's just that I haven't met the right person yet."
Mother: "Dangdang! Don't you want to get married? Grandma is telling you, it's okay if you don't want to get married. You can find someone to date first, have a child, and then kick them out once you have the child."
Dangdang was shocked by her grandmother's shocking words; she never expected her grandmother to be so open-minded.
Liu Yun, who was eavesdropping outside, was also shocked by her mother-in-law's words. She never expected her mother-in-law to be so arrogant.
Yu's mother said, "If you have children any later, it will be more harmful to your body. You should take advantage of your youth now and do these things first. As for the rest, you can take your time."
Dangdang: "Then let's not have children, let's just adopt one."
Mother Yu: "Adopted children can never compare to your own biological children."
Dangdang: "Even your own children aren't necessarily good. Look at my uncle's bunch of char siu (barbecued pork) babies, what's the use? It would have been better to have a bunch of char siu babies! At least they could fill their stomachs. My grandma's uncle, who was also a char siu baby, is the same."
Upon hearing about Liu Aiguo and his children, Yu's mother choked up.
Mother Yu: "It's impossible for everyone to be like that."
Dangdang: "Having even one of those would be infuriating. As for the child, whether he is biologically related or not is not that important. What matters is how he is raised. If he is raised well, what does it matter if he is not biologically related or adopted? He will still be excellent. If he is not raised well, what does it matter if he is biologically related? He is not even as good as a piece of barbecued pork."
Yu's mother was completely defeated.
This kind of marriage-urging drama plays out at home every few days lately. If Liu Yun hasn't run away, she'll also be nagged, asked to introduce more people to Dangdang and arrange more blind dates.
Liu Yun didn't want to force Dangdang to get married. She felt that as long as she was happy, it didn't matter whether she got married or had children. As for marriage and having children, she believed that it was best to meet the right person.
She never thought about getting married and having children in her past life. Having children is not something you can just talk about. Once you have children, you have an added responsibility and obligation.
She believed that this was Dangdang's own business, and that Dangdang was a person with her own ideas and opinions, so she didn't need to interfere too much.
Yu's mother really wanted to see Dangdang get married. She didn't get to see it in her past life, and judging from Dangdang's current state, she probably won't get to see it in this life either.
Thinking of this, Yu's mother sighed. After trying to persuade her for a while, she gave up and let her be. Anyway, Liu Yun's mother wasn't worried at all!
She just couldn't understand why Dangdang, with her harmonious family, loving parents, and respectful siblings, whose marriages were also happy and fulfilling, didn't want to get married.
In recent years, Yu's mother's health has been relatively good, with no illnesses. However, her spirits are not as good as before. Although her spirits have not improved, they have not remained consistently low either; they have remained the same.
That day, Liu Yun prepared breakfast, but her mother hadn't gotten up yet. Thinking that her mother hadn't gotten up this late in a long time, Liu Yun was worried that something might have happened, so she hurried upstairs and saw that her mother was sleeping soundly, which relieved her.
Liu Yun went up and touched her forehead, and immediately froze. It was ice-cold, without a trace of warmth. With trembling hands, she placed her hand under her nose, and sure enough, she wasn't breathing.
Tears welled up instantly.
"Yu Jin! Yu Jin!"
Upon hearing Liu Yun's words, Dangdang quickly ran up, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
Liu Yun: "Your grandma has passed away. Go call your dad and uncles and tell them to come back."
Upon hearing Liu Yun's words, Dangdang felt a sudden buzzing in her head, as if a string had snapped. She rushed to the bedside, touched Yu's mother's face, and checked her breathing.
