Li Yushu's words were like enlightenment to her. She then remembered that Xiao Shuangning was already seven years old and it was time for her to go to school.
She felt very guilty, thinking that she was not a competent mother and had even forgotten such a big thing as sending her child to school.
"Well, everything is fine. It's time to go to the first grade." Shumei spoke quickly and dealt with Li Yushu casually, with an unnatural smile on her face.
She hasn't been back for a long time and knows nothing about the situation at home. How can she know whether it is good or bad?
"I'm idle at home every day. If you have time, take me to your village to see the outside world and breathe the unpolluted air."
"Ah? Oh—OK, Uncle Li, as long as you want to go, I can take you there anytime."
Li Yushu actually said he wanted to go to the village. At first, Shumei didn't know how to deal with him, but then she thought, it was just a small talk, maybe Uncle Li was just being polite and had no intention of going at all. So, she agreed without hesitation.
This city has everything you need, so who would want to go to a remote and poor place and suffer?
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yushu immediately followed up, "It's better to do it today than today. Let's do it tomorrow! Wencai, you can take care of the company's affairs and drive us there tomorrow. You can also go out and relax while you can."
What? Going back tomorrow?
Shumei is not mentally prepared to go back. What should she do?
She looked at Wencai helplessly, her hands clasped tightly together, her expression full of pleading. Wencai seemed to understand what she meant.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? I can't leave because you're here so suddenly! I still have a lot of things waiting for me at the company."
Wen Cai had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by Li Yushu.
"You keep saying you want to honor me, but this is how you honor me. Sigh! I'm still not as important as your company. Okay, I can't just not go. I won't bother you. You're all very busy people. I'm redundant in this family. I'll move to a nursing home soon, and you won't have to come visit me. I'm happy to be alone and free."
As the saying goes, old child, old child. When people get older, they really become like children and learn what it means to be naughty and angry.
Wencai became anxious when he heard what Li Yushu said.
"Dad, don't be like this. You weren't like this before. Why are you acting like a child now and even getting angry? I'm not saying I won't take you, I'm just saying we'll go another day."
"Stop talking, it's a waste of time. Go pack your things now and find a nursing home to spend your old age." Li Yushu stood up from the sofa angrily and prepared to go into the house with a slow step.
Wencai wanted to continue persuading her, but Shumei shook her head. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Shumei then stepped forward, grabbed Li Yushu's arm, helped him sit back on the sofa, and said reluctantly, "Uncle Li, don't be angry. Sit down and talk slowly. Wencai won't go, so I'll take you. Be careful not to get too angry, it's not worth it."
"Oh! The son I raised is not as good as a daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family. What an ungrateful person." Li Yushu shook his head and sighed, pounding his thigh.
"Okay, Dad, I'll deliver it. Even if it's a big deal, or an order worth tens of millions, I'll put it aside. Nothing is more important than my dad. Dad, is this okay? Don't be angry, take care of your heart." Li Wencai half-knelt in front of Li Yushu, grabbed his hand on his knee, and said firmly.
He didn't care anyway. Since Shumei had agreed, he had no reason to refuse. Li Yushu was also at an age where he lived day by day. He also wanted to spend more time with Li Yushu from the bottom of his heart. This was a good thing that had the best of both worlds.
They finally agreed, and Li Yushu's frown relaxed, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Shumei felt a mixture of emotions: fear, worry, and excitement. She really didn't know how to face Boyi, the daughter she missed so much.
If she left like that irresponsibly, would Shuangning blame her? Would she not want this incompetent mother? Shumei's heart was in turmoil, and she was upset and confused. She couldn't make sense of it.
After dinner, she and Wencai returned home early to prepare for tomorrow's trip to the countryside.
She hadn't been back for so long, and she wanted to bring some gifts back for Qianqian, Boyi, and her family.
This night was another sleepless night for Shumei. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
I will be able to see Boyi and Xiao Shuangning tomorrow. Are they all okay?
She had too many questions in her mind, wondering if Boyi was still waiting for her there.
The next day, they got up early and packed up a little. Shumei carried the bags and followed Wencai out the door.
