Chapter 291: Unfilial Son - Telegram from Mother and Son
It was Chu Yinqiao's first visit, and because there were limited rooms at home, she did not stay overnight.
Tian Dayong and Chu Yinqiao, who are now boyfriend and girlfriend, do not live together. Chu Yinqiao still lives with her parents, while Tian Dayong shares a house with his colleagues.
After Tian Dayong sent Chu Yinqiao home, he received a call from his mother as soon as he returned to the rental house. He frowned at the noisy ringing, but finally took a deep breath, opened the door and went out to answer the phone.
Some noisy sounds came into Zhou Leng's ears.
"Are you home yet? Have you sent Yin Qiao back?"
Tian Dayong said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Well, I just got home, Mom, you are so precise, you are really amazing."
Zhou Leng placed her cell phone on the edge of the kang. The three of them listened to Tian Dayong's voice on the hands-free phone. She said directly, "You've grown up. The elders don't ask about many things, but sometimes people can't go against their conscience, you know? Since you've made the choice, you have to live a good life."
Tian Dayong was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His voice suddenly became louder and he said impatiently:
"Then tell me how I acted against my conscience. Am I two-timing or cheating on my girlfriend? Am I letting the girl deny her pregnancy or am I committing domestic violence? Our family is in such a good condition, what's wrong with me wanting to live an easier life in the future? If our family were rich, I could be free and do whatever I want. I just brought my new girlfriend home, didn't I? Why are you saying I acted against my conscience?"
After the fierce words came silence.
The three elders sat together and looked at each other, unable to say anything.
Tian Dayong's inexplicable irritation was extinguished by the silence from the other side. He sighed and continued:
"Mom, I'm sorry, my tone was too bad. It's my own mentality. I pursued Chu Yinqiao after breaking up with Tian Lu. I am sorry to Tian Lu, but we broke up peacefully. Tian Lu's family conditions are average. If we buy a house in the city, we will have to raise children in the future. The pressure of life is too great. She has two younger brothers who are still studying. I can foresee my future life. Mom, I just want to live a more relaxed life. Am I wrong?"
Zhou Leng remained silent. From the perspective of Tian Dayong's mother, she felt that the child did nothing wrong. But what if she stood from the perspective of her ex-girlfriend Tian Lu? What if she stood from the perspective of a bystander?
Li Ping said loudly into the phone with a firm tone:
"Grandson, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You are right. This is nothing. We have done nothing wrong to the girl. If you marry Tian Lu, you might harm her. Water flows to higher places. Just live a good life with Yin Qiao and stop imagining. But don't be like your grandfather. No matter what, you have chosen the girl, you must be a responsible man. Learn from your father, and don't learn from your grandfather. Didn't you hate his behavior the most in the past!"
Tian Junfu glanced at his wife, then at his mother who was giving him serious instructions, and he was a little silent. In fact, in his opinion, his son's idea was not correct. You should work hard for what you want. But he felt that he could not say anything. As an elder, he felt guilty for not creating good economic conditions for his children.
Zhou Leng's ears were filled with the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren. She thought that the client's wish was to educate his son well, but was the current situation within the bad range? She was also a little confused.
After hanging up the phone, Li Ping looked at her daughter-in-law's expressionless face, pursed her lips and said:
"Shi Min, let's not get too involved in Dayong's marriage. These little girls want houses and cars. What Dayong said is right. We can't help too much. People have to be selfish in their lives. We just need to be nicer to Chu girl in the future. Besides, isn't Dayong more than qualified for her?"
"Ugh."
Li Ping's deep sigh echoed in the room. She said with a regretful tone, "Our Dayong is such a good boy, but he is going to marry Chu. She is not particularly good-looking. It's a waste for our Dayong."
Zhou Leng's mouth twitched. She did not refute but walked out of the room with her cell phone.
Tian Junfu watched his wife leave and whispered to Li Ping:
"Mom, please don't say that again. She's a good girl, her family is well-off, she doesn't look down on our family, and she even went to college. Our Dayong is marrying up. If outsiders hear this, they will laugh at her."
Li Ping lowered her head, curled her lips secretly, and then hummed softly.
From today on, the family no longer paid much attention to Tian Dayong's marriage.
Half a year later, Zhou Leng and Tian Junfu went to the city to accompany the young couple to look at houses, meet in-laws, and discuss marriage.
Chu Yinqiao's father is the director of a state-owned enterprise and her mother is a junior high school teacher. She is the only child in the family and grew up being loved and pampered at home.
Because of her plain appearance, Chu Yinqiao was often ridiculed by her classmates at school, which led to her having a people-pleasing personality. She attaches great importance to other people's opinions and cherishes other people's kindness towards her. Therefore, in this relationship between a man and a woman, she is the one who invests more and is more tolerant.
After several contacts, Zhou Leng also understood the simplicity and character of his future daughter-in-law. The relationship between the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was quite harmonious, and the future mother-in-law never took the initiative to interfere in their affairs.
When the parents of both sides met and had dinner together, the Chu family did not have a condescending attitude. They respected the Tian couple very much.
Zhou Leng could see that Chu Yinqiao's parents were really not dissatisfied with their rural origins. They were very satisfied with Tian Dayong and were very polite and respectful to their in-laws who did not look that impressive.
The atmosphere was harmonious, the conversation was wonderful, and then we discussed where to buy a house.
Chu's father even took out a real estate map of the city from his backpack, and he and Tian Junfu discussed the location, price and developer of the wedding house.
Chu's mother pulled her daughter over to talk to Zhou Leng.
"My dear relatives, Yinqiao has been spoiled by us since she was a child. But after she started dating Dayong, she has become much more sensible. People often say that things will get better and better when you find the right person. I have seen Yinqiao change for the better. She used to just want to go home and live off her parents, but now she works much harder."
Zhou Leng said with a smile on his face:
"Yinqiao is a sensible child, and Dayong is lucky to be her son. I feel guilty when you say this, because I'm afraid Dayong is not considerate enough and will make Yinqiao unhappy."
Mother Chu patted her daughter's hand and said to Zhou Leng seriously:
"I am sincerely grateful to Dayong. Parents cannot accompany their children for their entire lives. If Yinqiao is ignorant and lazy all her life, even the best relationship will be worn away by the trivialities of life. Now she knows how to become a better person, which is better than anything else."
Zhou Leng looked at the other person's slightly red eyes and said comfortingly:
"You still have to be a grandmother, and I still have to be a great-grandmother. Now, we just need to keep our bodies strong and not cause trouble to our children, so that they can live their lives without any pressure. I have raised Dayong since he was a child. If he does something wrong in the future, don't blame you, he won't be able to get past me."
Mother Chu tightly held Zhou Leng's hand. She was moved and relieved by the other party's sincere words. A mother-in-law who could say such words was definitely not a mother-in-law who bullied her daughter-in-law and controlled everything.
