Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Aunt Yang’s voice was cold as she refused, “I won’t go back. I was driven out once, and I don’t blame anyone for that. I made it clear that I wouldn’t return to your home, and I intend to keep my word. Don’t waste your efforts.

“Moreover, all you talk about is prison. To an outsider, it would seem as if you’re hoping I end up there!

“What’s the rush? The police just said that the matter is still under investigation. Are you so eager to see me behind bars? If there’s nothing else, please leave. Even if something happens to me, I don’t expect you to intervene.”

Yang Tao felt a surge of anger. He had made an effort to persuade her to return home, yet Aunt Yang remained stubbornly unyielding. He snapped, “Mother, can’t you give me a break? You’ve never saved anything for me. I’ve been working hard, and now that you’re old, you’re still causing me trouble. Am I really your son?

“Heh, if my sister were here, would you listen to her instead? We’re both your children, yet you’re so biased. I’ll ask you one more time, will you come home with me? If not, you’re never to set foot in my house again!”

Because Yang Tao and his wife often played mahjong in town, and his wife was frequently seen around town, many people knew of them. However, they were unaware of the family’s internal affairs. After all, what elderly person wouldn’t want to live with their son?

They all believed that Aunt Yang should return home with Yang Tao and his wife, and so they came forward to persuade her.

“Aunt Yang, it’s said that raising a son is for old age. Your son is so filial, worrying about you, and even brought his wife and son to take you home. You should go back. You’re just working for this shop, there’s no need to go to jail with the shop owner. If you really end up in jail, wouldn’t that just add to your son and daughter-in-law’s burdens?”

“That’s right, young people can be temperamental. Maybe your daughter-in-law has been harsh at times, but isn’t she here now, asking you to come home?”

“Aunt An, you should be kind and let Aunt Yang go home with her son and daughter-in-law. If something happens at the shop, it’s not fair for an employee to bear the responsibility. Aunt Yang is getting on in years, it’s pitiful to see.”

“You’re old now, yet you’re still causing your children so much worry. It’s so thoughtless. My wife never causes me or my son any trouble. She always helps around the house and would never take advantage of us.”

“Yang Tao’s wife is so patient. She married into such a poor family, had a child, and still has to put up with an unreasonable and incapable old woman. It’s not easy! My mother-in-law even has a monthly retirement allowance of ten yuan, and she gives it all to me…”

Everyone had something to say, but Aunt Yang didn’t care about their harsh words.

However, when her son mentioned her daughter, a pang of regret shot through her heart. She regretted not leaving with her daughter when she had the chance, all because she couldn’t bear to leave her grandson. Now, she was left with nowhere to go and no news of her daughter.

She deserved this fate! And thinking back, she realized how foolish she had been to try and explain herself to these people.

She slowly realized that these people didn’t care about the truth. They only wanted to say things that benefited their own perspectives, all while enjoying the spectacle for their own amusement.

Aunt Yang ignored their comments and didn’t bother to explain herself. She looked at her son, Yang Tao, and once again firmly refused, “When I was living in the old house, starving and freezing, it was Aunt An who helped me. She gave me a job so I could support myself. If I were to run away now just because the shop is in trouble, how would I be any different from those without a conscience? Go home, I don’t need your help!”

Mother Lin had initially refrained from intervening. After all, this was Aunt Yang’s family matter. Even though she and Aunt Yang were close friends, it wasn’t her place to interfere. But now, Mother Lin couldn’t stand by any longer. These people were being unreasonable, and Aunt Yang was being painted as a burden and a troublemaker. It was infuriating.

Mother Lin sided with Aunt Yang and said to Yang Tao, “Yang Tao, you’ve known me since you were a child, and I’ve watched you grow up. Trust me this once and live your own life. As long as your mother is willing to stay with me, I’ll take care of her as if she were my own sister. I won’t let her be left alone in her old age. I’ll take responsibility for her care and won’t bother you. Is that acceptable?”
