At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

When Xu Feichi saw He Qiaoyun about to move the lychees from the cart, he quickly said, "Mom, let me do it, please come in."

Lin Liu also greeted her, taking slippers out of the shoe cabinet, "Mom, it's hot outside, come in quickly."

He Qiaoyun changed her shoes and went inside. Her two grandchildren greeted her, "Grandma!"

Wow, so many lychees!

He Qiaoyun held the two little ones in her arms and asked, "Haoyan, Qingqing, have you missed Grandma?"

The two children grinned, "We miss Grandma."

He Qiaoyun patted their heads and said, "Go get a bunch of lychees, Grandma will peel them for you."

"it is good."

Lin Liu put the lychees into the drain basket. The two children carried the basket to He Qiaoyun. He Qiaoyun took the basket, and the two children sat on either side of her, waiting obediently for her to peel the lychees.

Xu Feichi grinned at He Qiaoyun, "Mom, can I talk to you about something?"

He Qiaoyun looked up at Xu Feichi, her smile immediately vanishing, and asked emotionlessly, "What is it?"

"Look how busy your orchard is. After lychees, you busy with longans, and after longans, there are grapes. You never stop all year round."

He Qiaoyun looked at him calmly: "So?"

"Why do you need to hire someone for your little supermarket? I'll go and watch the store for you, since I'm unemployed and have nothing to do anyway."

He Qiaoyun was speechless and calmly refused: "You really don't want to take any detours. Xiao Ye at the supermarket and a part-time worker can handle it. If you lose your job, just find another one. If that doesn't work, you can drive a ride-hailing car and deliver food. Don't stay at home all day eating and being lazy. It's not easy for Liu Liu to earn money on her own."

She can tell the difference between spending thousands of dollars to hire someone and sending rats into the granary.

Granddaughter Qingqing looked up and asked innocently, "Grandma, what does 'being lazy and gluttonous' mean?"

He Qiaoyun smiled and took out a tissue to wipe her dirty hands. "Being lazy and gluttonous is a bad thing."

"Oh, Daddy's a bad guy..."

Lin Liu couldn't help but chuckle and nudged Xu Feichi. Xu Feichi was embarrassed and angry that his own mother had insulted him like that in front of his wife and children.

"Mom! You've gone too far!"

He Qiaoyun didn't take it to heart. "If you were even a little bit more ambitious, you wouldn't have said that today. Alright, I have to go deliver fruit to your brother and sister. You should reflect on your actions."

Lin Liu urged her to stay, saying, "Mom, have a meal before you go."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Next time. I have other things to do after delivering the fruit. Haoyan, Qingqing, Grandma is going back now. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

The two children waved their little hands, "Goodbye, Grandma."

He Qiaoyun went to deliver lychees to her second son's family, but her second daughter-in-law, Ji Ying, still didn't like her. Her grandson had also gone to his extracurricular class.

She didn't want to linger and bother people, so she left after delivering the lychees.

It wasn't that she was trying to curry favor with someone who wouldn't listen; it was just two boxes of lychees, a simple matter. She was generous and treated her children equally.

She was the last to visit her youngest daughter's house. A few days ago, her daughter told her that her mother-in-law had gone back to her hometown.

She thought her daughter had finally stood up for herself and removed her mother-in-law from their lives.

Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she came face to face with this old woman.

"Oh, my dear mother-in-law, you've arrived." Wu Man greeted He Qiaoyun with a smile.

He Qiaoyun smiled back and looked behind her. She saw her daughter standing behind Wu Man, and the atmosphere between the two seemed a little awkward, as if they had quarreled.

"Ah, the orchard had a bumper harvest, so I picked some fruit for you to try," she said.

Wu Man quickly took the small cart from He Qiaoyun's hand, "You're the same, sending us two big boxes every year. It would be so much better to keep these good lychees to sell."

He Qiaoyun forced a smile, "The harvest was good today, so these two boxes won't make a difference."

"Come in, come in and sit for a while," Wu Man warmly invited.

He Qiaoyun did not refuse and went into the house.

The room was stuffy and hot, with only one electric fan running and the windows closed.

While Wu Man was washing fruit in the kitchen, she quietly asked her daughter, "Why isn't the air conditioner on?"

Xu Hemei rolled her eyes. "If you ask her, she'll act like she's sick. She'll insist that the air conditioning is expensive, that her son doesn't earn money easily, and that she should just live with her son herself."

"Then why aren't you even opening the windows?"

She said that dust would blow in from outside, and that it was not easy for her to get up early in the morning to wipe the dust and do housework. She said that this shabby house was so hot that she couldn't stand it anymore.

As they were talking, Wu Man brought over a large basin of lychees that had been washed with water, and said with a smile, "These lychees are so sweet."

Xu Hemei didn't look too happy and was texting her friend on her phone.

Wu Man said to He Qiaoyun with a smile, "Meimei is really something. She's always on her phone and computer, either eating or sleeping. You rarely come here, and she doesn't even pour you a glass of water."

He Qiaoyun naturally sided with her daughter. "She's like this at home too. I've spoiled her. But then again, what's wrong with playing on her phone or computer? Let her play if she wants. Before your son married my daughter, he repeatedly promised me that he would treat her well for the rest of his life. Now she doesn't even have the freedom to play on her phone or computer?"

Wu Man's face was full of embarrassment; she was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong: "It's not that I meant it, it's just that it hurts my eyes..."

With her mother's support, Xu Hemei's gloomy mood instantly brightened.

He Qiaoyun wasn't one to push her luck, so she knew when to back down. "Oh, your worries are unnecessary. She's a medical student pursuing both her bachelor's and master's degrees; how could she possibly hurt her own eyes?"

“Yes, yes, yes,” Wu Man said repeatedly.

He Qiaoyun wins this round.

But from now on, her daughter would have to live her own life, so she didn't stay any longer and got up to say goodbye.

Xu Hemei went downstairs to see her off.

Before leaving, He Qiaoyun patted her and said, "If you still want to be with Duan Fei, you should hurry up and have a good talk with his mother and ask her to go back to her hometown. Otherwise, if you continue to live like this, you will fight sooner or later. He will definitely side with his mother, and you will be crying then."

Xu Hemei knew perfectly well that she was also extremely worried, saying, "Duan Fei has been too busy lately."

“I’m so busy, yet I still bring you fruit. What is he so busy with? So busy that he doesn’t even have fifteen minutes to chat with his own mother? What can a man who can’t even handle family matters achieve in the workplace?”

"Mom, don't say that about him."

"...I can't be bothered with you guys, I'm going back."

He Qiaoyun kept two extra boxes, intending to give them to Feng Jiashu.

But she discovered that they hadn't seen each other since the last time, they didn't even have each other on WeChat, and she didn't know how to send the fruit over.

She had never met Feng Jiashu, but Feng Jiashu had secretly visited the orchard a few times.

Several times he came to see her but found her empty-handed; other times he saw she was busy and didn't want to bother her, so he just watched from afar. Each time, he didn't stay long before a pile of things awaited him upon his return.

He Qiaoyun thought that Feng Jiashu worked at the base on the mountain, so she went up the mountain.

When the security guard saw her arrive, his attitude changed from cold to friendly, and he ran over with a smile, asking, "Who are you looking for?"

He Qiaoyun said, "I'm looking for Feng Jiashu. Could you please call him for me? I have something to give him."

The security guard smiled and nodded. "Wait here, I'll go and contact them for you right away."

He returned to the security booth and made a phone call.
