"Everyone has a very good opinion of me. I can't just stay in this position forever; I have to think about how to get promoted."

“If the leaders come down to inspect and find out that you and your dad are out collecting recyclables, then I won’t be able to get promoted.”

"They just stripped me completely clean, and you're telling me this won't affect me!"

Li's mother was taken aback. In the end, she had thought too simply. She hadn't expected it to have such a big impact on Li Chaoyang.

Even so, he didn't intend to cancel the plan. At worst, he would just disguise himself and change the venue so that no one would recognize him.

He did this not because his son was unfilial, but because he was too bored staying at home.

Wanting to increase income and ease the burden on his son, isn't that normal?

"Don't get so excited. Even though you have a job, the salary isn't particularly high; it's just enough for your family's expenses."

“Your father and I are able-bodied and cannot add this burden to you.”

"Don't worry, I won't let this affect you!"

"You know what kind of personalities your dad and I have, we are both very strong-willed."

"It's impossible for us to stay at home and do nothing, and collecting recyclables isn't something shameful."

"No job is superior or inferior; if your boss asks..."

"Just tell him it was my parents who insisted on collecting recyclables! It has nothing to do with you."

"You still have to go to work every day, and you can't keep an eye on us. You don't know what to do with us. Isn't that enough?"

My mother's idea is so naive; the boss won't listen to her explanation.

It's because he, as a son, failed in his duty that his parents ended up collecting recyclables.

"How interesting you are to come up with such a statement."

"Leaders won't give you a chance to explain; they only care about the facts!"

"Putting aside whether what you're doing will affect my future, what will the neighbors think of me if they see you collecting recyclables?"

“They’ll think I haven’t done a good job as a son. In the eyes of outsiders, I’m a rich man.”

"If I had just taken care of this family, I wouldn't have ended up collecting scraps. They would be cursing me behind my back, their spittle could drown me!"

"You can't just think about my older brother, you have to think about me too."

"Both are my children, so I'd say you shouldn't rent a place outside."

"You and Dad come with me, let's move to the courtyard house!"

"The atmosphere there is really nice, and everyone gets along very well, much better than here."

"With you all under my watchful eye, I can take care of you if anything happens. After all, you're not young anymore, you're all getting on in years."

"I just got sick without warning, and my children aren't around, this is unacceptable!"

This was a thought in Li Chaoyang's mind. Having experienced the loss of his loved ones, he valued family ties even more.

He wanted to bring his parents to live with him, although he hadn't discussed it with Lou Xiao'e yet.

Based on his understanding of Lou Xiao'e, he would definitely agree to do so, as he himself is a filial person.

Besides, the baby is about to be born, and someone needs to take care of the baby. My mother's health is still quite good.

She's the perfect person to take care of you. She's very easygoing, and no matter how bad your temper is, you'll get along very well with her.

The news came too suddenly, and even Li's mother was stunned. She had never thought of going to Li Chaoyang's place.

He left home early, bought a house outside, and got married. They never took any money from each other.

He earned it all through his own abilities. They were both children, and he always felt indebted to Li Chaoyang. He didn't want to drag Li Chaoyang down with him.

Lou Xiao'e is different from her eldest daughter-in-law. Although this daughter-in-law is not good, she is under his very nose.

They had been together for more than half a year and had developed some feelings for each other. Lou Xiao'e was different; according to Li Chaoyang, her family was quite well-off.

In his mind, all children from good families have a bit of a temper.

Being with someone like that is stressful for him, and he doesn't know how to handle it.

“I appreciate your kindness. I know you are a filial child, and you often bring things home during holidays.”

“You and Lou Xiao’e are both good children. I tell everyone I meet that I have a good daughter-in-law.”

　(abfj) "This daughter-in-law didn't mind our family's poor conditions and still married into the family."

"You two are so good at managing your lives, I don't have to worry about anything, you're my pride!"

"It's not such a big problem if we don't live together, but it's different if we do. I don't want to go to your place."

"It would be better to rent a place outside, so you can be closer to your brother."

My mom is still very insightful. She's so old; what hasn't she experienced?

There are fewer conflicts when two families don't live together; it's a completely different story once they live under the same roof.

Different eating habits, different sleep times, and different ways of spending money; the elderly have worked hard and been frugal their whole lives.

Young people, once they have money, just want to eat and drink. Seeing how they don't know how to manage their money makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

He'll have opinions, but if he doesn't say anything, he'll feel uncomfortable keeping it to himself. If he does say something, it'll cause more conflict. Just thinking about living together gives him a huge headache.

Li Chaoyang didn't have that many thoughts, because he was a young man; he was just worried about his parents getting old.

We can't let them rent a place outside and suffer like that; it's not right to keep doing that.

He would feel guilty if anything happened to them.

“There aren’t that many conflicts. Lou Xiao’e and I are in different situations than my brother and sister-in-law.”

"She is currently pregnant and waiting to give birth. After three or four months, he will have to go back to work."

"We can't just stay at home all the time; we both need to go to work."

"It has to be that you and your dad spend more time at home."

"There won't be any conflicts if we're not together anymore, so don't think about it too much."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but you're so old, aren't you tired of thinking about so many things all day?"

Li Chaoyang is young and thinks very simply. This is not just a matter between two people, but also between two families.

He really didn't want to be with Lou Xiao'e.

"It's not that I'm overthinking it, it's just that the situation is what it is."

"There will be many conflicts when the two families are together; this is a lesson learned."

"How many things like this have happened in this courtyard? Let's not talk about other people's homes, just ours."

"In your eyes, you might think that I get along well with your grandmother, but that's just what you see."

"When I first moved into this family, the two of us didn't get along very well."

"It took a long period of friction to finally achieve harmony. I suffered so much during that time."

"It's really not easy, I'm already so old."

"I don't want to suffer like that anymore, and I don't want to take on other people's burdens anymore."

"So it's better if your dad and I go out, then you don't have to worry about so much!"

Li Chaoyang's mother is also a very stubborn person. Once she has made up her mind about something, it is hard for her to change her mind. But Li Chaoyang is not in a hurry and has his own clever plan.

I had only one thought in my mind: I had to let him come to my home; I couldn't let him rent a place outside.

“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but I respect you. It’s normal for you to have these thoughts.”

"Please reconsider this carefully. Our family's situation is somewhat different from that of my brother and sister-in-law."

"Firstly, we are working professionals, and secondly, she is pregnant and the baby is about to be born, but there is no one to take care of the child."

“You can’t put all your attention on your eldest brother. Even if I’m the least troublesome, I’m still your youngest son.”

"Shouldn't you also consider my child? He's your grandson too."

"This is the first time Lou Xiao'e and I have been parents. We have never taken care of children before."

"I don't have much experience in this area either, but with you here, I don't have to be flustered!"

Li Chaoyang has used his trump card; this is the old man's precious darling.

He refused to believe that his mother didn't take his grandson seriously; after all, he wasn't an adopted son, but her own.

The child in Lou Xiao'e's belly is also a member of the Li family.

This tactic really worked; Li's mother was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer him.

He stayed here for his own selfish reasons, not just for the sake of his eldest son.

He also thought that after his grandson was born, he would come here to take good care of his eldest daughter-in-law.
