But ever since she had her son, she's been spinning like a little top.

The mother-in-law, who was originally quite kind and gentle, seemed to become a completely different person after Li Ningyuan's son was born.

My mother-in-law doesn't work, so she should stay home and help them take care of the children.

Before her child was born, her mother-in-law was incredibly healthy; she could climb stairs without even breaking a sweat.

But as soon as her son was born, her mother-in-law started complaining about this and that, saying that she was too old to take care of her grandson, or that she didn't know how to take care of him.

Having said all she could say, what else could Li Ningyuan say? In the end, she was the one who got exhausted.

Li Ningyuan has to take care of her child and go to work, and she's so tired that she's almost falling apart. When she gets home, she still has to cook, do laundry, and clean for the whole family.

Every time Li Ningyuan complained, her mother-in-law would start reminiscing about the past hardships and the present happiness.

Zhao Hesheng wanted to help, but his mother-in-law said that men shouldn't be busy in the kitchen.

What's wrong? Her son has a job, but her daughter-in-law doesn't? Such favoritism is enough to make Li Ningyuan fed up.

Li Ningyuan isn't a superhero; how can she possibly manage her family, take care of her children, and go to work all at the same time?

As time went on, the family started having minor disagreements.

Recently, Li Ningyuan has been making a fuss about getting a divorce.

She didn't hide anything from her colleagues and told them everything about her family.

And now, Li Ningyuan has become the center of gossip in the office.

Every day when she enters the office, many people ask her about the latest developments in her family situation.

In the end, of course, the marriage did not go through with a divorce.

Because she couldn't stand Zhao Hesheng's involvement, her mother-in-law gave in and agreed to help Li Ningyuan and her husband take care of the child, in exchange for a small fee from her.

However, judging from the commotion his family caused recently, Yueqing wasn't very optimistic.

Between Zhao Hesheng and Li Ningyuan, it all comes down to who can endure more grievances.

However, Yueqing would just listen to other people's affairs and move on, she didn't have the heart to pay much attention to them.

……

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Before we knew it, the children had all grown up; some were working, and some were getting married.

Yueqing is about to retire, and she has been living a very happy and comfortable life these past few years. Her children are successful, and her parents are healthy and happy.

My son is already married and has a child, but my daughter is still a single lady.

However, Su Ruoheng had already declared that she would never get married in this lifetime.

However, she has one boyfriend after another. As the young lady said, boyfriends are the spice of life.

Without a man by my side, I always feel like something is missing from my life.

Su Ruoheng is now a well-known internet celebrity. The money she earns from live-streaming e-commerce is enough for her to live a carefree life.

Her family dotes on her like a treasure and doesn't want to restrict her with rules; they just want her to live the life she wants freely.

After Su Junjun graduated from university, Zhao Nana wanted her to take the civil service exam, but Su Junjun had no interest in it at all. She felt that she couldn't live that kind of rigid life.

So Su Junjun didn't listen to her mother for the first time.

Although Zhao Nana felt that her daughter was disobedient, she only had this one precious daughter, so she couldn't be too harsh on her.

Later, Su Junjun still married a man who worked in the system, introduced by Zhao Nana.

After Su Junjun gave birth, Zhao Nana took care of her. Now Su Junjun has started to support Zhao Nana in her old age, and Zhao Nana now lives with her daughter and son-in-law.

When she was young, she was very picky about her blind dates, but now that she's older, she's settled down and lives peacefully with her daughter. Whenever she has free time, she takes her grandson to the new square to dance.

It can be said that in her later years, Zhao Nana had her own hobbies, her daughter was filial, and she lived a happy life, enjoying the joys of family life.

The situation is a bit complicated for Wang Anzhao. His family wants him to return home and inherit the family business.

Du Jianxin hopes that his grandson can take over from him and his daughter and pass on the concept of "a family of educators passing on the torch" from generation to generation.

However, Wang Anzhao had no interest in becoming a teacher and directly refused to his grandfather.

Wang Hekun also hoped that his son could take over his family business and make the Wang family's wealth continue to grow, but Wang Anzhao did not want to go into business.

In the end, Wang Anzhao didn't choose any of them; he was single-mindedly focused on taking the civil service exam. After all, taking the civil service exam was his true passion, and thanks to Su Qingming, his career path had been remarkably smooth.

Even the wife that Wang Anzhao married was a niece from the Su family.

The children have all grown up and no longer need Su Qingming and his wife to worry about them.

Before we knew it, all four elders had passed away one after another.

Because Du's parents passed away one after the other, Du Yueqing was heartbroken and couldn't get out of her own world of sadness.

Fortunately, Su Qingming stayed by her side, comforting her and taking her to various famous tourist attractions to relax.

Two or three years passed before Du Yueqing gradually recovered.

Du Yueqing has now retired early and, together with Su Qingming, bought a piece of land in the countryside, built a small villa, and is living a leisurely retirement life.

Next to the villa, there were fruit trees that Du Yueqing liked. She also liked to grow vegetables, so Su Qingming gave her a vegetable garden.

The two of them live here.

The morning sunlight filters through the bamboo curtains, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.

Du Yueqing was cooking white porridge in the kitchen, the clay pot bubbling and steaming.

She habitually sprinkled a handful of goji berries into the porridge, which was her father's favorite way to eat it for health.

In a daze, she recalled the image of her father wearing reading glasses and flipping through a health newspaper, a harmonious and warm scene, with the scent of newspaper ink still lingering on his fingertips in her imagination.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Qingming's voice drifted from behind, still carrying the warmth of his morning exercise.

He placed the gardenias, still glistening with dew, into a celadon vase, and their delicate fragrance instantly filled the entire kitchen.

"It's nothing." Yueqing knew that her husband was worried about her, but she didn't mention that she had suddenly thought of her father.

After dinner, Su Qingming didn't let Yueqing stay home and instead dragged Lao Qu for a walk in the fields.

They picked some vegetables they had grown and took them back with them. Whenever Yueqing was in a bad mood, Su Qingming would bring her here for a stroll.

Once outside, Yueqing's bad mood would dissipate in no time.

Sure enough, when she got back, Yueqing was in an extremely good mood, having completely forgotten all her troubles.

The two shadows under the setting sun, hand in hand, drew closer and closer, the tall figure occasionally tilting his head to tease the petite figure.

Even from a distance, you can hear her gentle, hoarse voice, unique to the elderly, as if it were softly falling into the cracks of time.

Her voice was like crumpled rice paper, each fold revealing the traces of time and stories.
