"Poor Changqing, waaaaah~"
"From a young age, it was as if my father had died. I suffered all kinds of grievances with my useless widow mother."
"I finally managed to live a comfortable life on my own, but then that hateful stepmother ruined it all!"
"Is the forest below a place where people can go?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me where my half-month's salary went?"
"Could it be that you recruited Changqing from the forest farm?"
"Let me tell you, it was me, my old woman, who scrimped and saved, begged and pleaded, and pulled strings everywhere to get them out of the forest farm."
"Su Yi, it doesn't matter if you betrayed me, but Changqing is your own flesh and blood."
"Take a good look at yourself and see if I've done anything wrong to you."
"Now Changqing and Weihua are both suffering, while I, Qingci, am still farming in that remote mountain village!"
"Think again about how she was born to Qin Xiangxiang."
"Your whole family is so proper and respectable, but poor old woman like me is so pitiful."
"At my advanced age, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see my son and granddaughter again."
Su Yi was pushed and punched by Li Yueniang. Looking at the older sister who was crying miserably with tears in her eyes, Su Yi felt a pang of guilt.
She put it out there for comparison.
Qin Xiangxiang seems to be much happier.
She received a salary and was the wife of a division commander; her children were all around her.
But Li Yueniang, she's so old...
That's how parents are; when they sense that one of their children is not doing well, their hearts immediately begin to gravitate towards the weaker one.
Alas, Changqing has suffered greatly.
It's also his fault for not thinking that much, even though he's a grown man.
Su Yi rubbed his face. "Alright, alright, stop crying."
“I never said I didn’t care about Changqing and Qingci.”
"It was indeed my oversight that prevented me from thinking things through properly."
How much money do you want?
Li Yueniang's stormy face instantly cleared up and became partly cloudy.
"Take five hundred yuan and one hundred jin of grain coupons first."
Su Yi jumped up in a flash.
"What? Five hundred? You might as well just take my life."
"Or we could squeeze every last drop out of this old body of mine, weigh it, and see if we can sell it for 500 yuan."
Li Yueniang looked sincere.
"Su Yi, I've thought it over. After all, you and Qin Xiangxiang still have to live your lives together."
"It's not good for me to keep contacting you like this."
“You give this money to Changqing, and I will never ask you for any money in Changqing’s name again.”
Su Yi said with a stern face, "You said the same thing last time!"
"This time it's for real!"
"To avoid Qin Xiangxiang constantly causing you trouble."
Su Yi's heart softened again when he saw Li Yueniang's expression of "I'm doing this for your own good."
Li Yueliang continued, "Five hundred is a lot for others, but it's not much for you. You're a promising person, what's five hundred to you!"
"Someone like you who earns over 160 a month is making a week's wages in a single day for others!"
"How many people in this world are as successful and capable as you!"
Su Yi was instantly flattered and became quite elated.
"Even if you don't get paid for six months, you still have Qin Xiangxiang, right?"
"Does she think she can go without you food?"
"Besides, Su Chang'an and Su Meifang have grown up now, it's time for you to enjoy their blessings!"
"If you don't have money, would they dare not support you?"
"You should justify demanding that they give you ten or twenty yuan every month!"
"It is a matter of course for children to support their parents in their old age!"
“Your two kids aren’t like Changqing. They have an elderly mother with no income, a daughter who’s been sent to the countryside, and a son who’s been left to fend for himself. They’re suffering themselves!”
As Li Yueniang spoke, she began to wipe away tears again.
"Changqing respects you the most as his father. If he were in the capital, he would definitely take good care of you!"
"Didn't you see? He mentioned you in the letter!"
Li Yueniang showered him with compliments, praising her son for his suffering and how he still cared about her even in his current state.
Su Yi was tricked by her into going to the finance department to get an advance on his remaining six months' salary.
It cost a little over 83 yuan, and after 6 months, I received exactly 502 yuan.
Li Yueniang was deeply moved and affectionately straightened Su Yi's collar.
"I knew you were a good person."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have stopped looking for so many years."
"I won't come looking for you for a while. You and Xiangxiang should live a good life together."
"Say whatever you want to each other calmly, don't argue anymore. You're getting on in years, don't make a fool of yourself in front of others."
Li Yueniang's unusually gentle explanation left Su Yi feeling flattered and deeply moved.
He felt even more indebted to Li Yueniang and her son.
Although she never gave me a kind look, she was truly devoted to me!
After explaining everything, Qin Xiangxiang was about to leave work.
Li Yueniang took the money and reluctantly left Su Yi's house, turning back every few steps.
Once he was out of sight, he grabbed the money and ran like lightning.
