Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Wang Youyi was about to say something, but Fang Xiurong spoke in a very soft voice.

"Now you can believe me, right?"

"That way, you won't think I'll let you take care of me in my old age anymore!"

"Now you can rest assured, right?"

Fang Xiurong looked at him, her voice was so soft, but her eyes were filled with indifference.

He couldn't help but stagger backward.

This is not right.

That shouldn't be the case. My wife said he's her parents' only son, and they did what they did to preserve the family line.

His parents wouldn't hold it against him at all.

The reason I don't acknowledge him now is simply because I'm still angry with him; I'll get over it with time.

My mother-in-law said the same thing, saying that there are no parents in the world who don't love their children, and they wouldn't bear to resent him.

But today, his own mother used the most venomous oath to sever all ties with him.

In the past, he always felt that his mother-in-law and wife were right. He was his parents' only child, so how could they really sever ties with him?

He thought that what happened back then was just a temporary measure, and that his parents would understand.

Wang Xuemin knew that his wife was determined to sever ties with Wang Youyi, and that there was little chance that the mother and son would ever recognize each other again.

That's good, that's good!

He walked over to his wife and said in a low voice, "I'll go back to get the things I bought first. Huainan and Manman are still waiting for us at home for the New Year! If we go back late, they'll worry."

Although they left a note, there's no guarantee the two children won't come looking for them.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiurong finally let out a cold sweat: "You're right, let's go!"

Fang Xiurong was the first to leave.

Wang Xuemin turned around and gave Wang Youyi a warning look: "Remember not to bring the clothes again. Since you're my son, I can grant you one reasonable request."

"However, there's a condition: once you make this request, it's equivalent to agreeing to sever all ties with us and never coming near us again."

After saying that, Wang Xuemin caught up with Fang Xiurong.

Fang Xiurong heard him say this, but she did not refuse.

She severed ties with Wang Youyi, but did not demand that Wang Xuemin do so, because she had devoted her time and effort to the child, and apart from being a little busy with work, she had a clear conscience.

Wang Xuemin was even busier than her and spent even less time with his child. He felt more guilty than anything else.

Fang Xiurong understood this, so she never asked Wang Xuemin to be like her.

Wang Youyi watched as the two entered the courtyard, supporting each other. It was only then that he clearly realized his parents were getting old.

And that poisonous oath kept swirling in his mind. He staggered back home, and in the end, he didn't even know how he got there.

Their home was a dormitory room allocated to employees, where the family of three squeezed in.

After he got married, his parents let him move out of the house and even bought him a nice house.

At that time, my wife said that her parents didn't approve of her. They said that it was unacceptable for a couple to live separately right after getting married, which clearly showed that they had a problem with her.

Because his parents didn't like his wife at the time, and they never agreed to their marriage, he felt that his wife had been wronged.

Later, because of the relocation to the countryside, the family's house was taken back.

For so many years, he has been living in this cramped space with his wife and children, sharing just one room, and they have to cook in the hallway.

You have to go outside and squeeze into a public toilet to use the restroom.

Fortunately, when his parents were sent to the countryside, he took all the family's money with him, which made life a little easier for his family.

Speaking of which, Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong left behind quite a bit of money back then, more than a thousand yuan, and the rest was spent when he got married.

He gave the thousand-plus yuan to his wife as soon as he got it. Later, when his brother-in-law got married, he gave him two hundred yuan. He never touched the rest.

Over the years, he has had a salary, and his household expenses have not been high, so he should have some savings.

I also sent some things to my parents in the countryside, but not very often.

He does it only two or three times a year, and each time he buys a lot of things.

When Miao Juan'er saw Wang Youyi return, her face immediately lit up with joy: "Are Father and Mother here?"

Wang Youyi put down the keys, changed his shoes, and shook his head.

Miao Juan'er's face darkened, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She never expected those two old geezers to be so disrespectful. Wang Youyi had been humble and subservient for so long, yet they still refused to accept them.

Do you really want to become a lonely old person with no one to care for you?

Impossible. Who in the village isn't afraid of not having children to take care of them in their old age?

Those who don't have children try to find other people's children to raise, hoping that they will have someone to break their pots for them in the future.

Yes, that's it, they're definitely playing hard to get.

She sat down at the table unhappily and snorted, "What a waste of all the good food I've prepared. If you don't want to come, then don't come. You're their only son, they'll forgive you sooner or later."

Her mother said that Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong are getting older every day, and there will come a day when they can no longer move their legs. When that time comes, they will definitely be afraid when no one is around.

In that case, they will be the ones begging her and Wang Youyi to go back.

Thinking of this, Miao Juan'er felt a surge of joy.

If she hadn't known that after they came back, they not only received back wages for all those years but also got a big house, she wouldn't have bothered with them.

The reason they were so proactive this time is because their child is about to enter junior high school, but his grades are not good enough to get in.

Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong are both professors on temporary assignment at the university. They also have connections, and as long as they ask, their children can get into the best schools.

She didn't care about anything else, but the children's schooling and the big house were all hers, so naturally she wanted to take them.

These two old geezers are really lucky to be alive.

Upon hearing this, Wang Youyi looked at the table laden with food and knew that his wife had prepared it all, and he immediately felt apologetic.

"Thank you for your hard work, but let's forget about our parents! We just need to focus on living our lives well."

He is still shocked by what Fang Xiurong said when she made the oath, and he feels extremely distressed.

Miao Juan'er was unhappy when she heard this.

"But what about our son's schooling? And this dormitory is so small, are we going to live here forever?"

Wang Youyi had already made plans regarding the house.

“Don’t we have a retired master craftsman in our factory? His house is a two-bedroom apartment, and he’s planning to sell it now.”

“Over the years, we should have saved up some money, enough to buy a house. If that’s not enough, we’ve given your parents two hundred yuan from the savings account I gave them before, and we’ve also spent some of the money on things we’ve sent to my parents over the years.”

"By the way, how much did it cost to send things to my parents?"

Actually, he always uses his salary to buy things, so the family probably doesn't spend much.

But every time he bought something, Miao Juan'er would say that her husband wasn't prepared carefully enough, and that she needed to prepare more.

At first, the two had no savings and could only use their savings account.
