Bi Yue put the shredded potatoes in a basin, filled it with water, and interrupted:
"Next time, I have to soak the shredded vegetables for a while, otherwise they will stick to the pan when I stir-fry them." He started to wash the rag and clean the kitchen again:
"Go on."
"What else are you talking about? How can I even have the nerve to see him?
Others may not know about that car, but I know it well. I treat it like a treasure. Now there is a big hole behind the car. Let's see how it can still be so beautiful.
Yueyue, I actually tried to stop him, but my dad was too emotional at the time to intervene.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It wasn't you who smashed it. Besides, my uncle won't ask you to pay for the car, so what are you afraid of?"
Liang Xiaoxiao's bangs were half lifted up, and she looked conflicted: "I was also worried that he would be embarrassed to see me."
"Why?"
“Well, uh… I guess my dad wanted to hit him at first, but he missed.
I was shouting at him to leave quickly, but when your uncle saw my dad picking up a brick, he didn't say a word and ran away so fast.
It felt like it was just a blink of an eye, and he jumped out like a sprinter, about a hundred meters away.
My dad was so angry that he threw a brick at the car."
"Pfft." Bi Yue laughed unkindly: "And then?"
Liang Xiaoxiao wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, as if she was sleepy. When she looked up at Bi Yue again, her face was full of helplessness:
"What else is there?
He just stood there in the corner of the street, listening to my dad scolding him as a little bastard, and he didn't come back?
My dad dragged me into the corridor, and I watched him move his legs."
Bi Yue was just like seeing the scene in front of her eyes, imagining her uncle running away with a serious look. He was quite cunning and knew to keep a safe distance, so why was it so funny?
He laughed and said, "Look, do you think it's that easy to get a wife? It's good enough that he didn't break his legs."
Wife? Liang Xiaoxiao thought of Liu Yafang and pouted:
"Your mother has something against me. That day in the hospital, I talked to her, but she ignored me. I was so angry that she even brought some mountain apricot and willow branches."
Bi Yue restrained her smile and explained feebly:
“She’s just like that.
So what can I do? The main reason is that my uncle didn't tell my family, and she was confused for a while.
Actually, I brought people here with good intentions. You know, at my uncle's age, his children should be running around. How can his family not be anxious?
You were so young and we were classmates, and my mother couldn't understand it for a while.
Don't be like her, her generation thinks differently from us."
As soon as Bi Yue finished speaking, Liang Xiaoxiao stood up and wrinkled her nose, saying sympathetically:
"Really. It's really like that. It's completely different from what we thought.
Do you know why my aunt is so upset? I simply don't understand what she's thinking.
My dad said that maybe my aunt was too narrow-minded.
My family paid for the expansion and renovation of my grandparents' house.
My aunt and my uncle are just ordinary workers with average living conditions. They don't compare themselves with my aunt, and their family doesn't take a penny.
My dad didn't even ask my aunt to take the money.
He also said that since my grandparents didn't want to come to Kyoto, my aunt would have to stay and take care of them.
He paid for all the food, clothing and daily necessities at home, and he didn't even want my grandfather's pension.
Not only did they tell my grandparents that they could spend their savings however they wanted, but after the house was built, they also said that since my grandparents didn't want to live with our family, they would let my aunt and uncle take care of them, which was equivalent to providing for their retirement.
When my grandparents are gone in the future, the big house in my hometown will belong to my aunt.
But isn’t the situation different now?
My dad is getting divorced, and my grandparents are still here. So, after a while, won't it be like they're living together with my family?"
Bi Yue understood and said, "Your aunt is afraid that they won't have the chance to take care of the elderly, and your father won't be able to give them the house. She can't say it directly, so she's here to make a fuss and ask your grandparents to go back quickly."
Liang Xiaoxiao nodded, and continued to tell Bi Yue with a sad face:
"Why have I been so quiet these past two days? I don't want to piss off my dad. His hair has turned completely white.
My grandparents were taken away. They said they came in a hurry and didn’t bring any clothes or useful things. So they stopped making a fuss and went back first.
Actually, we all understand that we have to leave. What a fuss, Yueyue.
My dad brought up the matter and said that the house still belongs to my aunt. I was thinking about it, so that's it. Look, whatever you want, my dad will give it to you. Let my grandparents stay here. Let's just have a good meal and don't make a fuss.
But they are adults, their thoughts are so complicated.
My aunt must have taken it too seriously. You say she feels that way but doesn't allow anyone to say it? That's unreasonable.
My aunt got even angrier and slammed the dining table I had set up. She scolded my uncle for being useless and said that it was because of him that my father looked down on him. My uncle got even more angry and smashed all the mirrors in my wardrobe.
During that moment, my grandma almost passed away from anger.
Alas, on the night my grandparents passed away, my dad was drinking with his friends and he cried while looking at the roast duck.
"Um?"
“The point is not the roast duck.
My father cried and said that when he heard that my sister and brother-in-law were coming, he thought they were worried about his brother's messy life and came to see him, so he went out to buy roast duck and pastries after get off work and asked him to take them back. It turned out that my aunt was not as good as his friend.
It would be fine if she didn't ask how her brother was doing, or lend a hand, but at this critical moment, she's still plotting against her own brother."
Bi Yue frowned as she listened:
"Every family has its own problems. You have a calculating mind, so why can't you do anything? Why are you arguing with your family over trivial matters?"
