Yan Beiyang found a place to hide his money overnight, then found Chen Wei and told him about the conflict between himself and Sun Xin. He also told his sister-in-law that she knew he was involved in speculation and asked him not to keep a large amount of money at home. She also warned him not to touch the black market in the next one or two years and to erase all traces so that even if his family reported him, there would be no evidence.
Dong Dayun didn't want his family to be in chaos, with brothers turning against each other. Because Sun Xin knew about Yan Beiyang's speculation, Dong Dayun was afraid that Sun Xin would say something nonsense, so he didn't dare to force her. Instead, he decided to try to persuade Jiang Shushu, hoping to solve the problem from the root.
So Dong Dayun went to the east of the state-owned hotel and found Jiang Shushu.
"Xiao Jiang, Auntie has something I want to talk to you about. Can you please go out and talk?"
Seeing that there were not many people in the store, Jiang Shushu said hello to Qian Xiaoni and took Dong Dayun to a deserted corner east of the State-owned Hotel.
Given Dong Dayun's shrewd appearance, Jiang Shushu felt that Dong Dayun's visit to her was definitely not a good thing.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Dong Dayun looked guilty. "Xiao Jiang, I'm so sorry about what happened last night. I made you feel wronged and you couldn't even eat. I didn't expect Beiyang's sister-in-law to react so strongly."
"It's okay, Auntie, I don't take it to heart." An elder came all the way here to apologize to me?
"Beiyang came back last night and got really angry, saying that we had wronged you. Even a grown man was crying. I knew Beiyang loved you very much."
Jiang Shushu listened quietly and did not respond.
Seeing that Jiang Shushu didn't respond, Dong Dayun could only continue, "Beiyang's sister-in-law is a confused person. She's stubborn and won't let go of what happened in the past. She cries, makes a fuss, and even threatens to commit suicide at home. She won't agree to you providing for your parents in their old age. I've scolded her and beaten her, but it's no use. My hands are made of flesh and blood. Auntie is in a dilemma! Woo woo woo..."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Why are you crying in front of me about your family's affairs? Shouldn't this be handled by your family? You come crying in front of me. Do you think I'm going to give up supporting my parents in their old age just because of a few tears from you?
"Auntie, let's talk it out. Stop crying. We're on the street. It's not good for others to see us." Jiang Shushu's favorable impression of Dong Dayun continued to decline.
"Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Xiao Jiang, you're a very good girl. Beiyang loves you very much, and so do your uncle and aunt. But I have to consider the overall situation. I can't let my grandson and granddaughter be without a mother..."
Jiang Shushu didn't intend to waste time talking to Dong Dayun. Just based on the incidents that had happened in the Yan family, she didn't want to get involved in this mess. "Okay, Auntie, stop talking. I understand that Beiyang and I are not suitable for each other. I will talk to him and make things clear."
Dong Dayun was stunned: "..." That's not what I meant. I want you to give up your retirement.
Dong Dayun quickly said, "Xiao Jiang, that's not what Auntie meant. Auntie really wants you to be my daughter-in-law. You and Beiyang are in love, so how could I possibly break you up?"
Jiang Shushu: "..." Then why are you crying to me? Your eldest daughter-in-law is not satisfied, so why are you talking to me about it?
"Then what exactly do you want to say to me, Auntie? I'm not one to beat around the bush, so just say whatever you want to say."
"Xiao Jiang, how can a mother and son harbor any grudges overnight? Old people always like to have a large family with children and grandchildren. If you have a good talk with your eldest brother, he will definitely be happy to take care of your parents in their old age..."
Jiang Shushu interrupted Dong Dayun, "I'm sorry, Auntie, if you came to me today just to talk about this, then there's no need for us to continue. We can only say that Yan Beiyang and I are not meant to be together. Before I started dating Yan Beiyang, I clearly asked him if he would mind me taking care of my parents in their old age, and I also asked him to go back and ask you. He said he didn't mind, and he said you agreed, so we officially started dating. If you minded, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me, I wouldn't be dating Yan Beiyang, and things wouldn't be as awkward as last night."
Dong Dayun didn't expect Jiang Shushu to be so resolute: "Xiao Jiang, don't be angry. How about this? We will give you double the betrothal gift. You can keep this betrothal gift for your parents' retirement. You don't have to bring it back. When you are free, you can go back to visit your parents..."
"Auntie, our family is not short of money. I've also told you that my parents' retirement funds are available. What they lack is not money, but companionship and the care of their children in their later years. I cannot agree to your proposal."
"But since ancient times, sons have always taken care of the elderly. Go out and see, those who have sons, who will let their married daughters take care of them in their old age? This will not only be ridiculed by the husband's family, but also by the daughter's family. How can your eldest brother hold his head up high in the future? You are still young and small, so you can't think about this problem. When you really do it and others laugh at you, you won't think so. Xiao Jiang, Auntie is really doing this for your own good. Beiyang loves you so much, can you bear to give up your relationship? It will be the same if you and Beiyang go back to visit your parents more often in the future."
"Auntie, I've thought it over carefully. I'm afraid you might mind, so I asked Yan Beiyang to ask you in advance. I like Yan Beiyang, but I'm more aware of the responsibilities on my shoulders. I know what I'm doing. Providing for my parents in their old age is a decision I made after careful consideration, and I won't change it. The fact that our two families have different philosophies only means that we're not suitable. Since we're not suitable, let's part ways amicably. Auntie, I still have to go to work, so I'll go back first. Take care."
"Xiao Jiang, Auntie hopes you will consider what I say carefully. Families with good conditions will basically not accept the woman's family to provide for their parents in their old age if they have a son, unless the family conditions are very poor. Xiao Jiang, you are an excellent person, and life is so long. Do you want to marry someone casually for your parents? Beiyang loves you so much, can't you change for him? We don't talk about the issue of elderly care on the surface, but Auntie promises you that as long as you want to go home to visit your parents, Beiyang will definitely accompany you back to visit. This is also filial piety! It is not necessary to bring him to your side. Beiyang's father will have a pension in the future, and we old couple will basically not trouble our son with money. Do you and Beiyang have jobs? This way the conditions will be better, and you can give your parents more support. If you find someone with poor conditions, even if your in-laws agree to let you bring your parents over, they themselves can't take care of it. By then, how much care will you be able to take for your parents?"
If Jiang Shushu had no money and no supplies, she would be moved by what Dong Dayun said, but Jiang Shushu was rich enough, and the problems Dong Dayun mentioned were not problems, so Jiang Shushu did not take Dong Dayun's words to heart.
