The train rattled along, and because they were in such a hurry, they hadn't even managed to buy sleeper berths. The carriage was full of people, so it wasn't cold, but after sitting in the hard seats for a while, their buttocks started to ache. Chen Junsheng didn't feel anything at first, but by evening, his back was completely aching.
"Want something to eat?"
In an attempt to win over his youngest son, Chen Wei spent a lot of money to buy him a boxed meal on the train. The meal consisted of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, something Chen Junsheng couldn't afford even when he was with his mother in the textile factory dormitory.
"We're in a hurry, don't worry, I'll ask the ticket seller later if we can upgrade to a sleeper berth."
Fortunately, they were eventually given a sleeper berth. For the next few days, they stayed in the sleeper berth, while Chen Wei would go to other carriages to chat with people from time to time, and no one paid any attention to him.
Fortunately, he is very generous with money, and these days he has been eating meat dishes.
“Oh, your dad is so good to you. The boxed meals on the train are so expensive, but he bought you several meals without batting an eye.”
Chen Wei left again, and Chen Junsheng sat there alone. The old lady in the next bed would hit the father and son from time to time. She was dressed neatly and didn't look like a family with that much money.
She was so generous; the aroma of the meat and vegetables wafting out made her mouth water.
"Um"
Chen Junsheng felt a little uncomfortable when a stranger suddenly spoke to him. In the end, he only replied once and then lowered his head to eat again.
Dad was indeed very good to him; when he was home, he would often give him money to buy snacks.
If Guan Lian knew that her youngest son remembered Chen Wei's kindness because of a few cents, she would probably be furious. He doesn't need to care about anything at home, so of course he could give a few cents.
Yang Chunhua has been throwing tantrums at home these days. Her son has taken his salary back, and now she has no money to play cards with her friends.
"Chunhua, I heard that your son took leave to go to the Northeast to bring his wife back. When they come back, you can be the matriarch at home again."
In the past, everyone envied Yang Chunhua. She didn't have to help her daughter-in-law take care of the children, and her son's salary was in her hands. She lived a more comfortable life than most people, and she had food to eat every day when she came back from playing cards.
"Ha, after all, she's the mother of two grandsons. Even if she's done too many wrong things, my son still remembers her good deeds."
After her daughter-in-law divorced her son, she originally planned to send her off with great fanfare, but unexpectedly, life after the divorce was much worse than before.
He doesn't have much money in his pocket these days, unlike before. His son is in charge of buying groceries for the family, but he doesn't know where to buy cheap groceries, so all that money goes to the mother and son.
Yang Chunhua had thought that since her son was handsome and had a job, and his wife had left with the child, he could find a younger woman. But she was surprised that no one paid any attention to them. After this period of time, Yang Chunhua realized that it would be better to let her come back, at least she could take good care of her.
She complained to her neighbor for a bit and then went home. She didn't know what was going on, but her son hadn't come back after so many days. The factory manager even came to see her, saying that if he skipped work again, his entire month's salary would be deducted.
“Look at her, even at a time like this she’s still spreading rumors about Guan Lian. What kind of life are those two living now? Guan Lian used to take care of everything at home.”
"She thought Guan Lian was blocking her son's path, otherwise he would definitely be able to find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family. She doesn't even look at her own family's situation. Who would want to come and live with them?"
“It’s just that some old lady goes out to play cards every day and doesn’t even help out at home. Guan Lian finally got a divorce, and I hope she never comes back.”
Yang Chunhua left something outside, and when she came out, she heard the neighbors talking about her. She cursed them a few times with a dark face.
"I haven't eaten or drunk anything from you. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"What did everyone say, Aunt Chunhua? They said that Sister Guanlian has had a hard time at home all these years, and now that she has finally gotten a divorce, everyone is hoping that she can live a good life."
"Life used to be really tough. I was supporting two kids on my own salary. Now it's a bit more peaceful."
"You you you"
There were too many people who disliked Yang Chunhua, but she didn't dare to fight with them. She stood there and cursed a few times before trying to go back inside, when suddenly someone came in from outside.
"Yang Chunhua, someone is looking for you."
It was someone from the factory who came; I guess someone called looking for her.
I initially thought it was my son, but then I suddenly saw him, who had been gone for several days, return with his bundle and his grandson.
"mom"
"Milk"
Everyone was talking about it when they suddenly appeared. Everyone in the hallway eagerly looked behind Chen Wei, but there was no one there.
“…Where are they?”
"Ah Wei, Guan Lian didn't come back with you?"
"Why did you only bring back the youngest son? Where is the eldest son?"
“I only brought my son back from the past. That woman has already divorced me, and my family will not let her come back.”
After saying that, she quickly took her son back to the house. Yang Chunhua had originally planned to answer the phone, but after thinking about it, she decided not to go. She still had many things to ask her son.
Why didn't she come back?
