Three Women in the Cage

Yang Ming walked to the end of the corridor, stood by the window, and adjusted his mood before answering the phone!

"Hey! Eldest sister?" Yang Ming said in a calm voice!

"Ming, it's me! I called to ask if the two children are doing well wherever they are. Are they causing you any trouble? If they are, don't spoil them and teach them a lesson!" Yang Yu said politely!

"They are all good! They didn't cause any trouble! Just now your sister-in-law praised them for their ability! She said she would keep them for a few more days..." Yang Ming said with a smile!

Yang Yu thought her sister-in-law's intention to keep them was a joke, so she politely said, "I'm glad you didn't cause any more trouble! School is about to start, and I really don't want to bother you all the time! How about setting a time for them to come back early to prepare?"

"So soon? Your sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby, and you were just talking about keeping them. How about waiting for two days? I will book tickets for them then, and there will be no delay?" Yang Ming thought, now is the busiest time to take care of the children, if the two sisters can help a little, it will save him a lot of trouble, so he tried to keep them as long as possible!

Yang Yu didn't want to, but actually wanted to keep them. Although he really wanted them to come back sooner because he hadn't seen them for so long, he really missed them! But it was hard to refuse his third brother's request. After a moment of hesitation, he said in a roundabout way, "It's up to you! My sister-in-law just gave birth, and they should help take care of the baby. How about setting it for three days later?"

Yang Ming knew that he couldn't keep them for too long, so giving them three days would be nice, so he agreed and said, "Okay! I'll book train tickets for them later! Don't worry, I'll definitely send them back in three days!"

After hanging up the phone and putting the phone into his bag, Yang Ming turned around and went into the ward!

Ma Mei was worried that Yang Yu would come and urge the two children to go back! Normally, she would be eager for them to go back sooner, but now, she needed them to take care of her. She always felt that Yang's mother was not satisfied with being alone! With two more people, everything would be more convenient, there would be no rush, and she could relax a little more!

Seeing Yang Ming come in, he couldn't wait to ask, "What did the eldest sister say? Did she mention that they go back?"

Yang Ming knew what his wife was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry! I've left them here to help take care of you for two days!"

Although she was not very satisfied with the two days, school was about to start, so she didn't say anything. She nodded slightly to show that she understood!

The next day, she was finally able to be discharged from the hospital. Mother Yang and her two sisters packed their luggage early, and the large and small bags were neatly arranged!

After Yang Ming paid the medical bills, he came in and said hello, then went forward to support Ma Mei, leaving Yang's mother behind to hold the baby and the two sisters to carry the luggage!

Giving birth is always filled with a festive atmosphere, and everyone happily walks towards the vehicles parked on the roadside!

When they finally got home, everyone carefully helped Ma Mei into the bedroom, then put the child in the stroller that had been prepared earlier. Then the two sisters took care of the child, and Yang's mother went to the kitchen to make chicken soup!

After two days of adjustment, Yang's mother gradually adapted to Ma Mei's various requirements. For example, before holding the baby, she must clean her hands thoroughly, without any oil or water! The baby's bottle must be sterilized with boiling water every day! The baby's clothes must be washed by hand! And so on...

She did whatever Ma Mei said! Even if she felt it was too pretentious, she would not express her opinion! She would just silently complain a few words, or else mock her in front of the two sisters! In short, because of her concession, the two of them gradually became harmonious in raising their children!

The day finally came when the two sisters were about to leave. They packed their luggage early, and Yang's mother walked them to the door, reluctantly saying, "Be careful on your way, sisters! When you arrive, call your uncle to let him know you're safe!"

The two sisters were worried about their grandmother, and reluctantly replied, "Yes, Grandma! You must take care of yourself!"

Perhaps the baby was familiar with the two sisters and felt a sense of separation and reluctance, so he started crying loudly as if to keep them. For a moment, Yang's mother had no time to feel sad and just held the baby in her arms and rocked him!

The two sisters stepped forward, teased the baby's face with their hands and said, "Little one! We are leaving now. You must listen to grandma and don't make any noise!"

As they were talking, they heard a few whistles from downstairs. It must be their uncle urging them to come! The two sisters had no choice but to let go of the baby's hand and hurried away!

Mother Yang held her crying child, stood at the door, and looked into the distance in the direction where they disappeared. Unconsciously, tears filled her eyes!

Suddenly, the huge house became empty and quiet! It seemed that apart from this baby, there was no one else to accompany her!

Until she heard the sound of the car disappearing, she closed the door dejectedly, held the baby, and stood by the windowsill, trying to find the disappearing car!

How she wanted to go back with him! But she couldn't take a single step. It was as if she was trapped here by a thousand threads, like a bird in a beautiful cage, only able to gaze at the scenery outside from afar, but unable to touch it!

She looked towards home with longing, suddenly overwhelmed by an extreme longing! It seemed as if she could break free from her shackles in the next second and rush there without hesitation! Even though it was barren and desolate there, she was filled with joy!

Just as she was lost in thought, Ma Mei's sudden scolding startled her awake. "Is this how you raise a child? Blowing cold air against the windowsill? It really makes me worry! I don't know how Yang Ming raised him before! Hurry up and bring the child over to warm him up by the stove!"

Mother Yang came to her senses in a panic, closed the window in a hurry, and sat down by the stove holding the child under Ma Mei's sharp eyes!

She had been so homesick just now, her heart trembling with excitement as she was eager to get home! She hadn't even felt the cold at all! But now, as she sat on the electric stove, the heat blazing against her body, her heart felt cold!

Half an hour later, Yang Ming finally sent the two sisters to the train station. After getting off the car, Yang Ming took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, counted out a few and stuffed them into Huanhuan's pockets, then counted out a few and stuffed them into Yaya's pockets, and said, "Your aunt gave me your wages a few days ago, but I haven't given them to you because I was afraid you would spend them recklessly! Pack these up and take them back to your mother! Pay the tuition you owe, you can't keep buying on credit and make others laugh at you! Go back and study hard, listen to your mother, and only when you have a bright future can you bring your mother happiness..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped! Thinking about bringing Yang's mother here, is it for her to enjoy herself, or...?

He himself was confused. If his children were successful, could their parents really enjoy the same happiness? But he had no better words to say, so he could only copy and paste worldly words to encourage them!

The two sisters clenched the banknotes in their hands, carefully put them into the bag, and then responded to Yang Ming sensibly, "I know, uncle!"

Under Yang Ming's watchful eyes, they boarded the train compartment. Even after the train doors closed, they still saw their uncle standing there in a daze, his face filled with an indescribable complex emotion!
