So that night, the son and daughter-in-law joined Old Lady Chu in playing Landlord again.
The old lady leaned on the quilt and stole the cards in a comfortable position. Liang Yinqiu pretended not to see it and had to look at Chu Hongtian, trying every means to let the old lady win.
…
After returning from the police station that day, everyone took Old Mrs. Chu seriously.
The eldest and second daughters-in-law took her to the hospital for another checkup. After returning from the hospital, they took her to the bathhouse for a bath.
The old lady was so happy that she went into the bathtub and soaked for a while, which was a great experience. But her two daughters-in-law insisted that the temperature was too high, so they dragged her out for fear that she couldn't bear it.
As for his granddaughter Chu Yiqing, he bought her several pieces of clothing, which she couldn't wear. He also drove her to various big restaurants to eat here and there.
But Old Mrs. Chu did not appreciate it, and even disliked her granddaughter because she was too slow.
The granddaughter always pointed at this and that and asked her to remember, like teaching a two-year-old child, which was annoying. When it got really annoying, Mrs. Chu would yell at Chu Yiqing:
"That's all. Miss Yue brought me here before, who are you teaching me? It's not easy to eat this little bit of food!"
Chu Yiqing always looks embarrassed when being scolded by her grandmother.
And the eldest son suddenly seemed to be no longer busy, which puzzled Mrs. Chu.
Recently, her eldest son always took her for a stroll in the yard, and on Sundays they even went to the park and sat next to her, fanning her with a palm-leaf fan.
And my eldest grandson, what's wrong with them? He calls her more often.
To be honest, the old lady used to be jealous of Chu Yifeng calling Bi Yue and the two treasures and chatting for half an hour. Now it was finally her turn:
"Xiao Feng, don't tell me those useless things. I won't listen. I just want to ask you, when will you come back? When can you carry me up the Great Wall for a ride?"
Chu Yifeng: "... Grandma, how much do you weigh?"
That day, Chu Ci's mother sat on the sofa, peeling an apple for the old lady and said with emotion:
"Mom, actually you're not a big mother-in-law, you're quite reasonable."
"You actually tricked me. You're better than your sister-in-law in words and how to make friends, so she'll do her best."
"I'm not kidding you. You can tell from many things, like Xiaoci's departure.
I know that among the whole family, you are the one who is most reluctant to let him go, but when you heard that the child would have a brighter future if he went abroad, you were the first to stand up and support him.
I stopped quarreling with my eldest sister-in-law because Xiaoci bowed her head. "Mom, I know everything."
When Old Mrs. Chu heard the name Chu Ci, she couldn't bear it.
She hadn't dared to mention Chu Ci these days. The boy had been raised right next to her since he was little, and she missed him terribly. Was he eating well abroad? Was he warmly dressed? Not to mention he didn't have a father, but even she wasn't around this time. With only relatives between them, who could possibly take such good care of him?
The old lady's eyes immediately turned red. Her eldest son and grandson were her lifeblood. Without her eldest son, her grandson was left without a father. Over the years, she had forced herself to cherish Chu Ci even more.
But the old lady doesn't like to cry. Usually when she cries, she is just making a fuss, not really crying.
You have to know that she was once a widow, raising two sons, and she had already developed this habit. If she cried for everything, her family would starve to death. In her opinion, crying was the most useless thing.
So he swallowed his tears and waved his hands carelessly:
"Jing'an, I'm uneducated and don't understand anything else. I just know not to interfere and delay the child. Now that you put it that way, it seems that I'm an okay mother-in-law?"
"Mom, you're amazing."
Mrs. Chu was so flattered that she immediately smiled:
"Yes, I can give birth to a general, and our children are all very promising. It seems that I am indeed not bad and have some skills."
Chu Ci's mother immediately coaxed him: "So if we have any problems, we have to take medicine. Don't sneakily put the pills behind the jar. Only after taking them can we get better. We need to be healthy. When Xiao Ci comes back from vacation, he will be a big boy and can go out with us to play. We can go to the south in winter."
"Oh no, I'm not going. I don't like coconut milk, and the sun will get me tanned."
"Mom, it doesn't matter where you go on vacation. I'm talking to you today mainly to persuade you to stop throwing away pills. Okay? It will save my sister-in-law some worry."
Mrs. Chu blushed and complained, "I'm not deaf, why did you say it again? I changed the subject for nothing. If your sister-in-law heard it, she would scold me."
Liang Yinqiu stood outside the door, listening to the conversation inside, feeling complicated and indescribable.
She'd been thinking a lot these past few days. She'd been with her mother-in-law for so many years, both good and bad. But if she relaxed and let go of her grudges, she'd realize why she still found her mother-in-law quite interesting.
