My son is finally getting married, but I can't throw a big celebration for him right now, and I feel really bad for my future daughter-in-law.
Moreover, because the end times really have come, we have to move into my daughter-in-law's house, which makes me even more anxious and uneasy. I always feel that this is wrong, and I feel even more guilty towards my deceased husband.
But there was no other way; my daughter and I wouldn't survive long in the apocalypse. Besides, the Wang family was really kind to us, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to settle down.
For the first while after we arrived, I always volunteered to do chores, afraid that others would notice even the slightest bit of laziness in my daughter and me and kick us out of the house, because if my daughter and I were alone outside, we probably wouldn't survive for long.
However, I am quite satisfied with my daughter-in-law, Wang Lili. She is good-looking, her family has good character, and they are true friends in times of trouble.
It's an immense favor that they've taken my son and me in now, so I always warn my son to be kind and not to mistreat his wife, or I'll never forgive him.
During our time at the Wang family's house, we gradually integrated into the community and genuinely began to consider it our own. Later, we met a girl named Fengran, whom the Wang family had mentioned.
At first, the Wang family didn't want us outsiders to get involved in their work. But later, they probably realized that we were genuinely sincere towards them, so they gradually let us participate in the Feng Ran family's work.
Actually, I was really amazed. Feng Ran can always come up with something that doesn't exist now, and every single one of them surprised me.
But I dared not mention it, because the Wang family repeatedly said that I should not ask, mention, or say anything more, so I dared not.
Of course, I'm already this old, so asking so many curious questions is pointless.
Instead, it makes others think you're a busybody, so it's better to keep your mouth shut; that way, everyone will like you.
My daughter-in-law is finally pregnant. It's just that we live in the apocalypse, and we might not be able to raise the child. But I'm still very happy about the arrival of this child. My deceased husband often thought about how he would hold his grandson and all that. This is a way of giving him some peace of mind.
But then she lost the baby again due to an accident. I could only comfort my daughter-in-law, telling her that she would have another one in the future, and to put her mind at ease. After all, it wasn't her fault, and she was actually the one who suffered the most.
...
The end times are really coming to an end. We've started moving down the mountain to live. That's great! Every family will get a house, and there's plenty of land to plant. I'm thinking that we must plant more crops and live a good life so that when our grandson comes back, we can raise him to be healthy and chubby.
The families are getting along better and better, and I especially like the older sister who takes good care of the family.
Every time we work together, we can sit and chat endlessly, and we can finish our work very quickly. Moreover, we are the two of the oldest people who are with each other now.
We probably have the most in common. Now that several families around us are starting to have children, I actually want my daughter-in-law to have another child as soon as possible. But whenever I see the longing look in her eyes when she looks at other people's children, I can't bear to ask her anymore.
As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves," and my daughter-in-law is pregnant again. This time, I dare not slack off, and I will not let her do anything anymore, so that she can have a peaceful baby.
My biggest wish is for my family, my son, and my daughter-in-law to get better and better.
...
A side story about Gu Zhou's mother-in-law.
Ugh, damn God, why did the apocalypse have to start at this time!
The attack caught everyone off guard, but thankfully, my son-in-law finally became mayor, so now I'm officially the mayor's mother-in-law.
So what if it's the end of the world? The mayor's mother-in-law will still be powerful and influential.
But not long after, I realized I was overthinking things. I saw my son-in-law working himself to the bone every day but not getting anything good in return, and my daughter got pregnant at that time.
My daughter's father passed away a long time ago. Now my daughter and I depend on each other for survival. She is pregnant, so I naturally take even better care of her and make sure she is well taken care of in every way. I was thinking that now that I am the mayor's son-in-law, I should at least bring back some good things to nourish my daughter.
But no, and I can't blame him, after all, it's the apocalypse, and he's already working very hard to make a living for his wife and children.
All I can do is take good care of my daughter in every aspect of her life. What scares me most is what to do when my daughter gives birth.
However, my son-in-law said he had already taken care of it and that there were medical staff at the base, so I didn't need to worry. But a terrible thing still happened. My daughter almost died after being born, which made me very sad. Fortunately, some kind people brought medicine, which saved my daughter's life.
We thought life would continue like this, but not long after, our son-in-law secretly told us that we had to escape that very night because he was worried that there were child-eating incidents at the base. He said he couldn't protect the three of us by himself, so we had to sneak away that night when no one was looking!
I asked him, "Now that you're the mayor, can you run away? Won't you get caught?"
He sneered and said that the mayor had given up on them and that this place would become a living hell in a couple of days.
Cannibalism, robbery, arson, and murder are commonplace, so we must leave quickly.
Hearing my son-in-law's tone, I was filled with fear. That very night, I packed a few simple belongings, carried them on my back, had my son-in-law hold the child, and then secretly took the rest of our things and fled without daring to breathe.
Fortunately, we met the Wang family. They gave my grandson milk powder and saved his life.
I truly believe it's worth it to be their slave; my grandson's life is my life.
Later, our son-in-law unexpectedly gained immense strength, which further solidified our foundation for staying. The Wang family couldn't simply kick us out; considering our son-in-law's great strength, they would reconsider.
No one expected that our two families would get along so well later on.
Not only that, but later we were even taken in by a little girl and brought to the base. She provided us with the food and other supplies we needed, and all we had to do was help her with chores.
This is a godsend for us, and we simply cannot refuse it!
Moreover, living under her meant being well-fed and clothed every day!
