"I have a day off tomorrow. I was planning to go back to see you guys tomorrow. Since you and my mom are here, let's go shopping in the city as a family of three tomorrow."
"good."
Jiang Shushu woke up at 6:00 the next day. When Jiang Shushu got up, Xu Hehua had already prepared breakfast.
"Good morning, Dad and Mom."
Xu Hehua: "Shushu, wake up. Breakfast is just right. Come brush your teeth and have breakfast."
"good."
After the family of three finished breakfast, Jiang Shushu glanced at the elderly couple and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll take you to the nearby park to walk around and help you digest your food. It's very crowded there in the morning. I usually go there for a half-hour run every morning. Grandpa and grandma your age go there morning and evening to exercise or chat. It's very lively. You should go there too. Next time when you don't have work to do in the team, come to the city. When you're bored, go to the park. There are people dancing, weaving towels, playing chess... You and Dad can pick whatever interests you."
Jiang He: "Park? Is there a park nearby? I didn't see one the last time your mom and I went out."
“Yes, but it’s a bit far from here, about a 13-minute walk. In the morning and evening, many people go there to exercise and play.
Xu Hehua was particularly interested. "Shushu, Mom will go with you. I haven't seen the park yet. What does it look like?"
"I don't know how to put it? It's just a pretty place to play. You can go and see for yourself later."
"Dad is going too."
Fifteen minutes later, the family of three arrived at the park, which was full of children and elderly people.
Jiang He: "This is really lively. This place is great."
Xu Hehua: "Yes, with this place here, we will have a place to play when we come to the city. This place is really great."
"Come on, I'll take you for a walk. This is a running track, specially used for running and walking... This is a gravel road, walking barefoot on it will keep you fit... There are stone benches under the trees, you can sit on them... There is also a small lake at the back..." Jiang Shushu introduced the tracks to Jiang He and his wife as they walked.
As the family of three was walking, they found a group of people gathered in front of them. From the crowd came the ugly curses and the sad crying of an old man. As soon as Jiang Shushu heard these two voices, he knew what was going on.
The fierce and vicious daughter-in-law scolds her mother-in-law who is confused and bullies the weak and fears the strong.
"You old fool! Why are you so useless? You're always so slow in doing things. You can't even cook properly. You can't even take care of the kids..."
Jiang Shushu did not take the old couple away, but let them listen, just to remind them in advance, and to express his own views on this matter, to prevent the original owner's brother and sister-in-law from coming back in the future and just saying "I was wrong" and forgiving them. That would be embarrassing. He had no interest in getting along with them at all.
I just want to live a simple and good life, but I have no interest in fighting with the best, so it is best to nip it in the bud and not let the best have a chance to get close.
The insults became more and more unpleasant, causing Xu Hehua to frown deeply. These familiar words made her feel uncomfortable.
Jiang He frowned deeply, with anger on his face: "This evil woman is so hateful. How can she treat an old man like this." As he said that, he wanted to step forward.
Jiang Shushu quickly grabbed Jiang He and said, "Dad, don't be impulsive. We can't control their affairs. Things are not as you see. It's not convenient here. I'll go back and talk to you. Let's go."
"Is that mother-in-law pretending to be pitiful?"
"no."
When the three of them got home, Jiang He immediately asked, "What happened? Who was bullying whom between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law?"
"The daughter-in-law bullies the mother-in-law."
"Then why don't you let Dad take care of it? Isn't it a beast to bully the elderly like this? Won't she get old one day?" When Jiang He saw this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, his mind couldn't help but bring up his own daughter-in-law and his wife, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Dad, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. It's Old Lady Yang's own fault that she ended up in this situation. There are so many old men and women in the park, why didn't anyone go up to help?"
"Can you tell Dad what happened? I will definitely go to the park for a walk again in the future. I don't know the specific reason, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and become nosy."
"Old Lady Yang has two sons and one daughter. She dotes on her youngest son the most and gives him priority in everything. The one who scolds him is her youngest daughter-in-law. Old Lady Yang's youngest son and his wife are not filial people. They don't treat Old Lady Yang as a human being. They have made her sick from anger or exhaustion many times. When Old Lady Yang fell ill, they ignored her and didn't care about her. But Old Lady Yang just remembered to eat but not to be beaten. She had to cling to them and was very open with her heart. Old Lady Yang's eldest son and daughter were filial. They took their mother home to take care of her when she was sick, but as soon as Old Lady Yang recovered, Whenever her youngest son calls her, she rushes to help with the goodies from her eldest son's and daughter's families. When she's sick, she goes crying to her eldest son and daughter. Why does she keep going back and forth like this? Her eldest son and daughter have left Old Lady Yang with no savings and even foreign debts. In the end, they are resentful and now ignore Old Lady Yang. Old Lady Yang has been ill recently, and her young wife has started to dislike her again. Don't look at Old Lady Yang crying sadly now, but when her youngest son says a few nice words to her, she will smile immediately.
"At the beginning, the neighbors were still concerned, asking Mrs. Yang to ignore her youngest son and his wife and focus on following her eldest son, but she didn't want to! Later, the neighbors found out that Mrs. Yang was a person who didn't know what was going on, so they stopped caring about her." So you two should wake up and don't be like that old lady Yang. Not only was she abandoned by her friends and relatives, but even strangers scolded her for not knowing what was going on and she deserved it!
Jiang He stopped talking after hearing this.
"That old lady Yang just loves the child. What's wrong with her? How could that daughter-in-law treat her like this?" Xu Hehua didn't even know if she was talking about old lady Yang? Or herself?
"She is wrong. Her biggest mistake is that she deserves it. She not only hurts herself but also others. She clearly knows that her youngest son and his wife are not good people and are unfilial, so why did she go to them? She should have stayed away from them. If she didn't, she should have endured the bullying. There is nothing to cry about. But not only did she not stay away from them, she also dragged down his eldest son and daughter, and almost made them break up their family. If this is not stupid, what is it?" The one who was most poisoned was Xu Hehua.
"Children are the apple of their parents' eyes."
"That depends on the person! Old Lady Yang only cherishes her youngest son, not her daughter or eldest son. No matter what the relationship is, feelings are mutual. Old Lady Yang doesn't care about her eldest son and daughter, and doesn't treat them as her own children. Now her eldest son and daughter don't treat her as their own mother. So today's situation is the result of not being able to distinguish right from wrong."
