Guan Lian's parents exchanged a glance, their tone somewhat troubled. "Why did you listen to your father and want to come back with him? Your mother's factory is in a critical period right now, so it will probably be difficult for her to get leave."
Actually, neither of them wanted their daughter to come back, because if she did, she would have to go against their family again. They had finally managed to get rid of her.
Chen Junsheng turned his head, "Doesn't Mom want me anymore?"
“Why do you keep talking nonsense, child? How could your mother not want you? She took you away and left your brother here. You are both your mother’s lifeblood. Why don’t you come with your grandfather? Your grandfather will send you back to Northeast China.”
"I guess this is the only way. Your mother just passed away, how can you keep taking leave?"
This job is very important; it's their daughter's livelihood in the future. Naturally, the elderly couple didn't want their daughter to cause any trouble with her boss by taking leave.
"No! I want Mom back."
"Why are you so stubborn? What good will your mother do when she comes back? Isn't it the same if you go with your grandfather?"
"I don't want to go to Northeast China. I want to stay here. Our home is here."
The elderly couple looked like they didn't understand. Guan Lian's mother was about to take out a roasted sweet potato wrapped in oil paper from her pocket when she heard this and stopped.
"...Young man, what did your dad and grandma say to you?"
“Don’t listen to their nonsense. You’ve seen what your mother has been living like in that family all these years. Anyway, it’s just one person’s salary supporting you two brothers. Going to the Northeast is fine.”
Chen Junsheng pushed his grandparents away, frowning with some dissatisfaction, "Dad said it's because you all said such things in front of Mom that she's leaving."
The elderly couple forced a smile and tried to stop him, but Chen Junsheng simply ran away.
"...Is this child stupid? Chen Wei must have said something nonsense to him, and the child is so young that he probably believed it."
The two sighed, glanced around at their surroundings, and then quietly left.
Come again tomorrow, persuade the child to stay, and send him away directly to save your daughter from having to come back.
However, Chen Wei was already on guard after sending Xiao Liang away last time, so it will probably be difficult this time.
Chen Junsheng has been doing well these past two days. His grandma and dad care about him a lot and even give him money. The food at home is also good, and he can go play with his old friends.
"Son, when is she coming back?"
Yang Chunhua picked up a handful of wilted vegetables that people didn't want from the vegetable market, cleaned them, soaked them in water, and sat down to shake and pound them.
My son said his wife would definitely come back, but two days have passed and she still hasn't returned. That guy eats a lot, and I have to cook for him and his father. The money I spent on groceries was just enough to cover our expenses, and there wasn't a drop left.
I just ran into an old friend on the street. We always try to avoid people when we go out to play cards, for fear of being reported.
Yang Chunhua used to be the most generous person there. Not to mention gambling, she would also borrow a dollar or two from people who asked her, and she would also buy them things.
But she hasn't shown up for several days now.
"Chunhua, are you out of money? Is your son not giving you money anymore?"
In the past, everyone envied Yang Chunhua's luck, having given birth to a good son and marrying a good daughter-in-law.
"My grandson is back. I need to stay home to take care of him. I'll come over in a couple of days. Please wait for me."
She said a few words and quickly ran away. Little did she know that her old mahjong partners were watching and laughing at her after she left. There were no secrets in this place; everyone knew about her family's situation. She was the only one who dared to be stubborn.
"mom!"
Chen Wei said impatiently, "What use is a woman like that? We can't tolerate her in our family!"
He went to the communications room today to inquire, and found that apart from the first day he returned, no one had called him since.
This woman is so heartless; she doesn't even want her son anymore.
He wanted to see how long she could keep up the act.
“Son’s mother isn’t doing this for ourselves, she’s doing it for Xiaosheng. Think about it, if you find someone else in the future, will this stepmother care about Xiaosheng? She’s not as good as his biological mother. Besides, Xiaosheng is still young. Don’t you have to think about the child?”
Yang Chunhua never imagined that one day she would actually speak up for her daughter-in-law, but she was really fed up with this life and wanted to come back quickly so she could leave.
"Mom, please stop talking."
He could still swallow his pride and beg her at the entrance of Guan Lian's factory, but Chen Wei found a familiar feeling at home and naturally couldn't bring himself to do it again.
