Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 944 - 772: A Child’s Thoughts

"Yes, Mom, today I went to Hua Hua’s meeting, and his teacher kept praising him. He scored a hundred in both subjects this year." Xie Lingzhi was overjoyed at her grandson’s achievement.

"Really? Hmm, well done, Hua Hua." Old Mrs. Mei affectionately patted Hua Hua’s head.

"Great Grandma, Great Grandma, Xingxing also scored a hundred this year. Grandpa and Grandma praised me too, and Grandma even rewarded me with fried chicken." Little Star, seeing Old Mrs. Mei praising Hua Hua, didn’t want to be outdone and quickly replied.

"Oh wow, look at our outstanding Mei family children. They’re all doing great. Tell me, what rewards do you want? Great Grandma promises to get them for you today." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Hua Hua didn’t dare to speak, but instead looked at Little Star. Like an adult, Little Star thoughtfully rubbed his chin before finally saying, "Uh, Xingxing wants something delicious to eat."

"Hua Hua does too," Hua Hua, hearing Little Star wanted something to eat, smiled and followed Little Star’s lead.

Old Mrs. Mei chuckled and quickly told Aunt Wu to go buy some snacks from outside and have a special dinner for the two "big achievers."

Xie Lingzhi looked at Hua Hua with a silly smile and felt dissatisfied, thinking this child isn’t smart enough to ask for something more "practical."

Liang Qian didn’t have so many thoughts. Seeing Little Star wanted something delicious, she quickly had Aunt Wu buy a roast duck.

When they got back, Little Star told her that recently Liang Hongmei had been making fried chicken for her every day.

...

"Old lady, it’s out, it’s out, all thanks to you."

"Don’t worry."

Li Liang’s parents had been tagging along with Aunt Wu at the market these days, occasionally making small talk, only to find out that Aunt Wu was actually the Mei family’s housekeeper.

However, they also learned a lot from her over the past few days.

Li Liang’s mother knew Ye Qing wasn’t having a good time at the Mei family and even knew there had been suspicion about Ye Qing’s child, saying the child wasn’t her husband’s, but somehow, he ended up being their son.

Li Liang’s father, hearing all this, grew more convinced that Ye Qing was deceiving them, suspecting the child might actually be Li Liang’s, and that she was really "pulling the wool over their eyes."

Originally just curious, their attitude changed; they had to find out the truth about the child.

"Sister Wu, buying vegetables again?" Li Liang’s mother greeted Aunt Wu, carrying a basket herself.

Li Liang’s mother had told Aunt Wu that she also lived nearby.

"Yes, big sister, why are you out buying vegetables at this time? They’re not fresh at this hour." Aunt Wu, considering Li Liang’s mother a good market buddy, greeted her with a smile.

"Oh, it’s just that my family is tight, my husband isn’t very capable, can’t earn much, and my son also wasn’t responsible. He left us unexpectedly after an accident, and now it’s just us two oldies relying on each other. We’re old and can’t work, so we have to save bit by bit, what if we can’t move later. The vegetables are cheaper now, so I came over." As Li Liang’s mother spoke, tears genuinely welled up in her eyes.

What she said was true. No matter how irresponsible the son was, he was still their son, and at least he could support them in old age, but now that he was gone, they truly had no one to rely on in their later years.

"Big sister, you have to look on the bright side. Now that life is better, things will keep getting better." Aunt Wu comforted her from the side.

"Yes, with retirement coming up, I’m thinking of finding something else to do. But being older, no one wants to hire me for anything."

"Isn’t that true? Look at me, even being a housekeeper isn’t easy, spending all day cleaning and washing for others, and still living in constant fear."

"Sister Wu, what’s wrong? Isn’t it just cleaning and cooking for others?"

"That’s what you say, but every family has its secrets. Take the family I work for; it’s a big family, seemingly glamorous, but so chaotic inside." Aunt Wu shook her head.

"Are there brothers? It’s normal for them to argue with their wives." Li Liang’s mother said.

"If only that were the case. In this family, not only do the wives not get along, the brothers fight too. And, both old and young, none of them are decent people." Aunt Wu said.

"Wow, it’s such a mess. But don’t they have little kids? That’s not good for them." Li Liang’s mother rolled her eyes as she spoke.

"Who cares about that? Although, the kids in the family are well-behaved. They’re only a bit over four years old, yet surprisingly sensible and good at studying, everyone likes them."
