Besides, deep down, Jiang Shushu didn't trust Dong Dayun. How could anyone trust someone who could go back on his word? Would he have to tell her again after they got married? The family needed money, was in financial difficulty, and a married woman should mind her own business.
Dong Dayun, Jiang Shushu has finally understood that as long as it is not beneficial to her, she will say it under the guise of doing it for your own good.
"Auntie, I have thought about it very carefully, and what I said just now has been very clear. I hope you can understand. I must bring my parents over to take care of them together in the future, and nothing will change my decision. Auntie, as long as I am good enough, the person I find will not be unable to support himself." Jiang Shushu said and left.
Dong Dayun looked at Jiang Shushu's receding back and stomped his feet angrily.
Raising the betrothal gift won't work, and neither will allowing you to visit more often. It's sheer ungratefulness. My son is so talented. If you miss him, you'll never find someone as good as him in your lifetime. You're from the countryside, you're from the countryside. Even if you change your feathers, you can't become a phoenix. You have no vision. Do you really think you can really fly to the sky just by getting a job in the city? I want to see what kind of person you can find, Jiang Shushu. Don't end up back in the countryside with a pauper who can't even support himself.
Jiang Shushu returned to the state-owned hotel with a lot of anger. She was not only angry at Dong Dayun, but also at Yan Beiyang. She blamed Yan Beiyang for asking his mother to say these words to her.
Qian Xiaoni ran to Uncle Jiang. "What's wrong, Shushu? Why do you look a little unhappy?"
"Nothing, maybe I'm going to fall out of love."
"That's good..." Qian Xiaoni's eyes widened instantly, "What? Say it again."
Jiang Shushu quickly grabbed Qian Xiaoni and said, "Sister Xiaoni, don't be so excited. Keep your voice down. There are people eating here."
Qian Xiaoni smiled awkwardly at the guests in the distance, then turned around and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll definitely pay attention. What did you say just now? Broken up? Didn't he come to pick you up from get off work the day before yesterday? How did you break up? Did his parents object? Or did your parents object? Or has he fallen in love with someone else..."
"Stop, Sister Xiaoni, put your thoughts on hold. Stop guessing. I just realized that we have different plans for the future. I don't think we're suitable for each other, so I'm planning to break up. This way, we won't regret it later and blame each other."
"What's the plan? Splitting up the family? Buying a house? Having children? Or is it about the care of your parents?"
"Retirement issue? I plan to provide for my parents in their old age and have them live with me or next door. I told him about this before we started dating and asked him to ask his family in advance. He said it was okay and they didn't mind. But now his family has gone back on their word and said they don't agree with me providing for his parents in their old age.
Qian Xiaoni opened her mouth wide, "You take care of me in my old age, Shushu, don't you have an older brother?"
"My eldest brother is in the provincial capital and probably won't be back in the future. My eldest sister-in-law doesn't get along with my parents, so my eldest brother only sends pension money every month. My parents are just my brother and me, and I can't ignore their affairs, so I'm thinking of bringing them over to live with me when they get older, or even live next door to me."
"Shushu, please don't think I'm being harsh. If a family has a son now, it's very difficult for the in-laws to accept the woman bringing her parents in to take care of them. Every family is struggling these days, barely able to get enough to eat, and no one wants to add to the burden."
"I know it's my responsibility and I don't intend to pass it on to others to take care of my parents in their old age. So I started saving money for my parents' retirement a few years ago. Plus, my brother sends money every month. My parents' retirement money is enough. It won't cost my in-laws money. They just live closer to me so that it's more convenient for them to take care of them."
"Ah? Are you so far-sighted? You started saving for retirement a few years ago."
"My parents are almost 60 this year, so of course they need to save for their retirement. Even if they have minor illnesses or pains, they still need money for food, drink, and toileting, right?"
"If that's the case, then it's not hard to accept! Agreeing and then going back on their word is truly dishonest. They're deeply opposed to you providing for your parents in their old age. If you truly want to, this kind of family isn't the right one. Even if you go back on your word now, they'll probably use it to pressure you if you do anything to displease them in the future."
"I feel the same way, but I'm a little reluctant to leave Yan Beiyang. We've been together for more than two months, and he's a very nice person."
"But it's not enough to just be a good person. Wasn't it the same with my last boyfriend? Marriage is a matter of two families. Shushu, don't be sad. You're so beautiful and capable. You'll definitely meet someone better in the future. Look at me, am I not?"
"Thank you Sister Xiaoni for your comfort. I feel much better." Yes, a short pain is worse than a long one. No matter how good Yan Beiyang is, he can't compare to his many family affairs.
After Yan Beiyang had dealt with all the matters, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon. Yan Beiyang returned to the Yan family and planned to bring up the issue of dividing the family property again.
Dong Dayun was very happy to see Yan Beiyang come back, but before Dong Dayun could say anything, he was very sad because of Yan Beiyang's words.
"Mom, I want to split up the family."
"Didn't I tell you not to bring up this topic? Why are you still talking about it? For a woman, you even ignore your parents? I have loved you the most since we were young, are you going to hurt our hearts like this?" Dong Dayun's eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Mom, I have no choice. I don't want to lose Shushu. This is the only way. Even if we split up, I will still be filial to your dad."
"Everything can be discussed, except the division of the family. If you still recognize me and your father, don't mention this matter again."
"Why? Give me a reason."
"When we were young, your father and I met a Taoist priest. He said that if he wanted our Yan family to be prosperous and healthy, he must not split up before your father turned 60."
"Mom, how can you believe this? We are all grown up, isn't it normal to separate the family? So that the whole family won't get together and quarrel."
"That Taoist priest was very clever. He calculated ten times, and every time he was right, he even predicted that I would only have three children. And as it turned out, I only had you three brothers. So we have to listen to that Taoist priest. For the health and good fortune of our family, this family must not be divided before your father turns 60."
"Mom, what do you want me to do? Send Sun Xin back to the Sun family? Will no one object then?"
Dong Dayun did not respond. Although Sun Xin was not a good person and Dong Dayun did not like Sun Xin very much, there was a difference between close relatives and distant relatives. Dong Dayun would not let his eldest son be without a wife and his grandson and granddaughter be without a mother just for a daughter-in-law who had not yet married.
"Mom, I've worked so hard for this family for so many years, and in the end, I can't even marry a girl I like?"
