Four days later
"What? How could it be so fast?"
It's not actually that fast; it's just that after 4 days, plus the travel time, I can probably stay home for the New Year.
Guan Jie took leave, and with the Lunar New Year holiday, she had a long break. Besides being able to go back and bring Xiao Sheng back, she could also stay at home with her parents.
"Our factory manager won't give us a holiday until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. I guess Director Zhang doesn't want you to leave. It's good to go back. My third aunt even said that if you don't go back, you can spend the New Year at her place, and everyone can have a lively time together."
Guan Lian sighed, somewhat hesitant.
"...I don't know yet."
My parents should be very happy to go home for the Chinese New Year, but I still don't know how to resolve Chen Wei's situation. Now that I've finally confirmed the time to go home, I have to start thinking about other issues as well.
Guan Lian's personality wasn't like this before; she became much more decisive after going through the period of her divorce from Chen Wei.
She didn't want to get entangled with that side anymore, fearing that Chen Wei would go crazy again and disrupt her life. So she had to consider one thing: her youngest son.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, the eldest son was so certain, and he even went to the communications room to verify that it was indeed the address that the younger son had given to Chen Wei.
If her youngest son still refuses to go with her after they return, what should she do?
After Song Qing left, Guan Lian remained standing at the door, looking at the sky outside. It wasn't snowing yet, and the sky was rather overcast.
Chen Junliang glanced outside and was about to lift the curtain to go back inside when Guan Lian called him back.
"...Are you really not going back with Mom?"
Chen Junliang stopped in his tracks, glanced down at his shoes, and said, "Mom, you go back to find Xiaosheng yourself. I can't help you. You'll need to take someone else with you on the way."
"What help do I need? How can Mom leave you here all alone?"
"I can cook for myself and take good care of myself. Mom, be careful on the road."
Guan Lian glanced at her son and sighed deeply. She might not be able to make it back for the New Year, and she couldn't leave him alone here.
Chen Junliang quickly returned to his room and sat down at his desk. He wasn't deliberately trying to spite his mother; he just didn't want to go back and see them.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat and not work. Wash the dishes and cook dinner before your dad gets back!"
As soon as Chen Wei left in the morning, Yang Chunhua immediately took all the pancakes on the table and put them in front of her. She was going to eat these pancakes herself since she ate only watery soup every day.
"Milk……"
"What are you yelling for? It's no use calling for Mom. You're young, so it's okay if you eat less. But if you don't eat enough, what if you get so hungry that your hands and feet start shaking and you fall?"
After saying that, he immediately picked up the plate, put it in the cupboard, and locked it. Chen Junsheng had no choice but to pick up the bowl and drink a mouthful of rice soup.
"Did you hear me clearly? I'm telling you to come back at noon and cook. The rice is already in the pot. Stop going out to play every day. Your dad works so hard to earn money, and you never even try to help him out."
Yang Chunhua felt incredibly aggrieved. When had she ever been so tolerant before?
Now she's actually being nice to him, telling him to go home and cook, but if he doesn't cook, he can forget about eating tonight.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately reached under the bed, grabbed a cloth bag, put it in his pocket, and walked out the door. He gestured to Chen Junsheng to clean up the dining table and remember to cook lunch before leaving.
She finally managed to scrape together enough money for two rounds of gambling a couple of days ago, and it seems like God saw that she was having a tough time and compensated her by giving her some extra cash. She was incredibly lucky.
She now has more than a dollar in her pocket, and she's going to double that amount today.
