Three Women in the Cage

Yaya also heard the voices inside. She looked at her sister who had stopped walking with an embarrassed expression, gently pulled her and said, "Why are you standing there? Didn't you say you don't need to care about other people's opinions? What's going on now? Let's go!"

After saying this, Yaya walked in as if nothing had happened. She no longer wanted to argue with those people! They would only make her feel worse! But they were unaffected, eating and drinking happily! So why should she stay and feel sad?

She had tasted enough sadness and didn't want to waste her mood on them anymore! Yaya's self-regulation ability was still very strong. After thinking it through, she chose to block out those bad things, just do her own job, and ignore other people's eyes and words!

Although Huanhuan was always the one doing the persuasion, she was actually very fragile inside! She couldn't possibly act as relaxed as she said; she was just trying to use words to comfort and numb herself. When faced with a real problem, the wall of her heart, built up by self-hypnosis, would collapse without a clue of how to handle the impact.

Seeing Yaya walk in, she had no choice but to control her emotions and pretend to be calm as she followed in!

Li Li looked at the two people walking in with cold faces, and kept silent for a moment. She just coughed pretending to be relaxed, and then turned around to busy herself with the account book in her hand!

Ma Mei also cleared her throat awkwardly, then pretended to be on patrol, walked over, and said with a smile, "You're back so soon? What delicious food did you eat? How do you like the food here?"

Yaya turned around and fiddled with some empty shelves, pretending to be busy and ignoring her words!

Huanhuan was too shy to directly confront the stalemate, so she could only force a smile and reply, "There are too many foods for sale. My second sister and I prefer the red and spicy potato chips, so we each bought a bowl. After eating, we felt that the taste was not bad..."

She deliberately said that she preferred potato chips, not wanting her aunt to think that they were reluctant to spend money on other foods! She was afraid that every time she spoke, she would be subjected to contemptuous looks! That made her very uncomfortable, and she didn't want her pride to be exposed!

After hearing this, Ma Mei nodded and said, "That's right, there are a lot of delicious things here, you should try them, and the other ones are not bad either!"

Huanhuan nodded randomly, just wanting to end the topic quickly. She didn't want to engage in these hypocritical conversations with her aunt at all!

Seeing that Huanhuan was obviously avoiding the topic, Ma Mei's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she quickly recovered! After a moment of silence, as if she had thought of something, she said happily, "After get off work today, you guys should clean up quickly. Your grandma is here, let's go out for dinner together!"

When Huanhuan heard that her grandma had arrived, she was so happy that even her previous low mood improved. She couldn't help but ask, "Really? Why did grandma come all of a sudden?"

Ma Mei touched her belly and smiled softly, "No, I'm about to give birth. If your grandmother doesn't come, who will take care of the baby after it is born? I have such a big store that I must look after it myself. I can't expect your uncle to quit his hard-earned university teaching job, right?"

Huanhuan then realized that she was here to take care of her aunt and help with the children! She wondered why she had asked her grandmother to come over so suddenly. She knew she wasn't here to bring her grandmother over to enjoy herself!

Suddenly, he thought of something and excitedly asked, "Is grandpa here too? That's great! They've finally left the mountains and come to see life in the big city! The hardship is finally over!"

Listening to Huanhuan's childish words, Ma Mei was not angry and said, "Your grandpa didn't come, so he left the care to your uncle! We agreed that each family would take care of one elderly person, so we took your grandma..."

In fact, Ma Mei agreed to go home with Yang Ming during the Chinese New Year. Part of the reason was because she was pregnant and would need someone to take care of the baby after it was born, so she set her sights on Yang's mother!

At that time, I also discussed this issue with my eldest brother Yang Yi! The reason why we didn't bring it to Yang's mother on the same day was because we didn't reach an agreement!

After all, Yang's mother could do housework and take care of the children, and both families were eager to get her. Sister-in-law Tian Yun thought that Yang's mother could not only help with housework and childcare, but also with farm work. Meanwhile, Yang's father was getting older and older, and could no longer do farm work, let alone take care of the children and cook at home! So, Yang Yi insisted on keeping Yang's mother!

For Ma Mei, only Yang's mother fit her needs perfectly. Her purpose had always been clear. She had never thought of asking Yang's father to come over. Not only could he not do anything, but she also had to serve a dirty old man. She was absolutely unwilling to do that!

Being disliked by both sides, Father Yang, who always had a strong temper, lost his temper! As a result, the topic of discussion was dropped!

In fact, in the eyes of parents, who wouldn't want to follow their promising children to the big city to enjoy a better life? Who wouldn't want to accept the envious eyes of others? So not only did Yang's mother want to follow her third son Yang Ming, but Yang's father also wanted to go!

More importantly, these two had endured such hardships together in their youth! Yet, in their old age, forced to separate because of their children's success! One went to the big city to enjoy the seemingly glamorous life, while the other was left in her desolate hometown, suffering the loss of being despised! If they were destined not to be together through thick and thin, what was the point of the so-called false happiness and the seemingly lost feeling of being left behind?

Obviously, no one was satisfied with the final result, so the matter was put on hold! Seeing her belly getting bigger and bigger, Ma Mei didn't have time to wait, so she called again. During the call, Ma Mei promised that as long as Yang's mother left it to them, they would not want any of the land and houses in their hometown! She could also send some money back every year to cover Yang's father's expenses in his hometown!

Tian Yun didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so generous. After all, with her high-end life in the big city, how could she look down on such a small amount of money in the countryside? In the end, she agreed to it, and they would send some money back every year!

She knew that the money her sister-in-law was talking about must be quite a lot! Those small amounts of money for the rich were small change that the rural people could not earn even after working hard for a whole year!

However, even the tiny amount of money from the rich could make their lives in the countryside much richer! Compared to this, Yang's mother's help seemed so insignificant! So there was no reason for Tian Yun to disagree!

The reason why Ma Mei was unwilling to spend a lot of money to hire a nanny was because she was worried about outsiders. Moreover, the nannies in big cities would cost more than the little money she offered! That's why she was so determined to get Yang's mother!

In the end, Yang's mother had no choice but to pack her bags and say goodbye to Yang's father! The two children had already discussed it, so she didn't want to offend them again! Thinking that the third daughter-in-law would have to have someone to take care of the child, they didn't want the couple to have a conflict and cause their only promising son to lose his job!

When Mother Yang left, Father Yang, feeling so disdained, was deeply reluctant to leave, yet he felt a mix of inexplicable emotions. He compromised and didn't get on the train with Mother Yang! ...
