Chapter 884 (1/2)
Chapter 884: Two clear red lines again Chapter 884: Two clear red lines again Hu linyu’s action was so sudden that it startled her mother-in-law, who was watching TV.
However, her mother-in-law obviously knew Hu’s style.
She just turned her head and glanced at him, then silently stared at the dark and transparent TV screen, which reflected the figures of her family members.
After all, professor sun biyu was still a minority.
Most of the old China people were past their 70s.
Perhaps they did not have enough energy, or they were storing energy, but they spoke less.
It was the same for her mother-in-law.
When she was in the mountains, she liked to sit on a stool and look up at the blue sky and white clouds, from the morning sun to the evening.
Now that she had moved to jianchen, her mother-in-law had the same habit.
She would either sit in the living room or on the long bench in the community, watching the neighbors walk by with her deep eyes.
Her mother-in-law was so quiet that she seemed to be able to remain silent for the entire day.
Everyone was also used to ” paying attention to and ignoring ” her.
This wasn’t a contradiction, but a sign of importance:She would always be the first to be considered when cooking, and she would also be the first to be thought of when the weather changed.
Shen youchu would also help his mother-in-law soak her feet every night.

In short, she just wanted her mother-in-law to live a comfortable life.
[ a sign of neglect: no one in the family has discussed anything big or small with her mother-in-law, so her mother-in-law doesn’t seem to be very involved in the family.
]
For example, the problem with ah ning’s studies.
In the end, when the dust settled, everyone told their mother-in-law that Shen Ningning was going to be an elementary school student.
Another example was Chen hansheng and Shen youchu’s relationship problem.
It had been more than half a month, but Shen youchu still had not told his mother-in-law.
“Granny, it’s time to eat!”
The evening news was also mealtime in the Tianjing mountain community.
Dong ‘er had already served the food, and when the temperature was right, Shen youchu helped her mother-in-law to the table.
During the meal, Hu linyu was the most talkative.
She talked about the milk tea shop’s business and ah ning’s preparations for school.
Fortunately, she was there, so the dinner table was a little livelier.
However, it was lively, but there was obviously not enough vitality.
Ah ning’s eyes were not as lively as before.
Dong ‘er also more or less noticed something, but she did not dare to ask.
Only Shen youchu didn’t seem to have changed.
She picked up food for her mother-in-law and sister while softly responding to Hu linyu’s questions.
Occasionally, she would remind Dong ‘er not to forget to pay for the water and electricity bills of the month.
“Alright!
Sister youchu, you should eat more too.”
Dong ‘er quickly nodded.
Only when Shen youchu spoke would Dong’ er feel more at ease.
She was afraid that this family would fall apart.
Back then, when her mother was sick and in urgent need of money, a fellow townsman took Dong ‘er to the South to ” make a fortune.
she said that Dong’ er would be a great beauty if she tidied herself up, and it would be easy to make money in the South.
Dong ‘er almost wanted to follow them, but fortunately, she told Jin Yangming about it.
The “knowledgeable” Xiao Jin naturally knew what to do in the South to quickly make a fortune, so he immediately stopped Dong’ er and promised to find a job for her in Jian Chen.
And so, with the trust she had in the University student ‘brother Xiao Jin’, Dong’ er came to Jian ‘e alone, and was later arranged by’ brother Xiao Chen ‘to stay.
In the past year or so in jianmo, Dong ‘er would occasionally think about how lucky she was.
Society was actually very complicated, but she was able to meet so many good people.
Especially the kind elder sister youchu, she didn’t treat herself as a nanny, as if she had a younger sister.
Dong ‘er knew that brother Xiao Chen and sister you Chu’s relationship had some problems, because this was the first time Chen hansheng had not returned home for so long.
However, if brother Xiao Chen didn’t come over, although the family was lacking in vitality, it could still maintain its original state.
If sister you Chu fell, this family would really be gone.
Recently, youchu’s sister’s appetite had been decreasing.
She seemed to be only eating a few mouthfuls so that her mother-in-law and sister wouldn’t worry.
Dong ‘er was also anxious, praying that all the problems could be solved as soon as possible and that her sister youchu could be happy.
After Hu linyu finished eating, he was ready to take ah ning downstairs for a walk.
Because of Chen hansheng’s ” heartless departure “, the little girl had been depressed at home for the past two days.
“Dong ‘er should also go out for a walk.”
“I’ll eat with you, mother-in-law,” Shen youchu said.
Her mother-in-law’s speech wasn’t very good, so she ate very slowly.
However, Shen youchu would always accompany her.
“I don’t need to take a walk.”
Dong ‘er said, a little embarrassed, “”I don’t really like sports.”
“You think you’re Shen youchu?”
Hu linyu pulled Dong ‘er up without any explanation.
“If she doesn’t exercise, she won’t gain weight.
If she doesn’t eat meat, she won’t lose weight either.
We can’t compare to her.
If you don’t take care of your body, be careful Jin Yangming doesn’t look down on you.”
These words made Dong ‘er blush a little.
After the three of them went downstairs, the living room returned to its silence.
Occasionally, there would be the sound of bamboo chopsticks touching the porcelain plate, which made the environment even colder.
In fact, Shen youchu was forcing herself to swallow.
Recently, she had been feeling nauseous in her chest.
However, Shen youchu was good at enduring it, so he rarely showed it.
Hu linyu did not notice, ah ning did not notice, and Shen youchu thought that no one had noticed.
After her mother-in-law finished eating, Shen youchu started to clean up the dishes.
Her mother-in-law sat on the sofa as usual, her eyes following Shen youchu’s every step.
After everything was cleaned up, Shen youchu was about to help his mother-in-law make the bed.
However, at this time, his mother-in-law suddenly knocked on the floor tiles with her walking stick and shouted in a Sichuan dialect, “”Baby, come on …”
Shen youchu was a little surprised.
Her mother-in-law rarely spoke, so she rushed into the living room, thinking that her mother-in-law wanted to watch TV.
“Granny, do you want to watch TV?”
Shen youchu squatted down and looked up to ask her mother-in-law.
The old lady closed her eyes and shook her head.
After a long while, she reached out her skinny right hand and grabbed Shen youchu’s arm.
Her voice was muffled, but the meaning was clear.”Are you and hansheng not dating anymore?”
Shen youchu was stunned for a moment.
He didn’t expect his elderly mother-in-law to have noticed something.
However, she didn’t know how to answer him.
Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have any more interactions with Xiao Chen, but she was very reluctant to part with him.
“Grandma …”
As soon as Shen youchu opened his mouth, his tears flowed down his face like an overflowing Lake, dripping onto his clothes, pants, and the ground.
Shen youchu had wanted to hide his emotions from his mother-in-law, but now that her mother-in-law had found out, he could no longer control himself.
Yao ‘er, don’t cry, don’t cry …
she said.
The mother-in-law wiped her granddaughter’s tears with her fingers.
After years of hard work, her fingers had cracked.
It was like a Hunchback, and no amount of money could fix it.
Therefore, when her tears flowed into the gaps between her fingers, it was actually a little painful.
However, her mother-in-law didn’t say a word.
She was just very sad for this beautiful granddaughter.
Shen youchu was so beautiful that when she went to college, her mother-in-law had warned her not to raise her head, afraid that she would be targeted by bad people.
Her mother-in-law had never walked out of the mountains in her life, but she knew very well that beauty was actually very weak when it came to it alone.
Only with family, education, background, and other things could beauty become a real advantage.
She had never expected that she would still be targeted.
Fortunately, Chen hansheng was very responsible.
He was filial to his mother-in-law, cared for ah ning, and really cared for Shen youchu.
Most importantly, he helped her raise her head.
According to the plan, the two should have gotten married after graduation, but why were they not dating anymore?
Her mother-in-law gently caressed Shen youchu’s long hair.
Shen youchu was like a kitten, lying on her lap.
The sky was getting dark, and the lights in the living room were not turned on.
It was as silent as a vacuum.
After an unknown period of time, her mother-in-law spoke again, “”Baby, you can’t be separated from him.”
“Oh?”
Shen youchu looked up, but it was too dark to see her mother-in-law’s expression.
“Because …”
“You have his child,” granny said slowly.
······
At around 9 pm, Hu linyu returned with Dong ‘er and ah ning.
However, the strange thing was that all the lights in the house were off.
“Where’s youchu and granny?
did they go for a walk too?
why didn’t I see them?”
Hu linyu muttered as he turned on the chandelier in the living room.
However, he soon felt that something was wrong because his mother-in-law was resting.
At the same time, ah ning also saw his sister.
Shen youchu was standing on the balcony of the bedroom in a daze.
Hu linyu sighed.
Needless to say, this little fool must have missed Chen hansheng, that scumbag, again, so he did not turn on the lights.
After all, it was easier to stir up emotions in an environment where one could not see their own fingers.
“Dong ‘er went to help ah ning take a bath.
The little girl is sweating all over after walking.”
Hu linyu instructed and went to the balcony to look for Shen youchu.
