Xiao Yi, Chiang Yun couldn’t help but let out a long sigh when she heard this name.

It was impossible not to consider Zhang Yi; after all, she had only one son, her future support.

But thinking back to everything that had happened since they moved here, all Zhang Guohua did was advise her to endure, always to endure.

Zhang Yi would just make all sorts of grand promises, saying once he got married, he would definitely be filial to her with his wife.

Such grand promises indeed, must filial piety wait until after marriage?

Was he actually expecting his wife to be filial to her?

It all begins with becoming a daughter-in-law, who doesn’t know how much filial piety a daughter-in-law can realistically offer to her mother-in-law?

Especially the daughter-in-law chosen for Zhang Yi, could she actually be expected to support Zhang Yi in any way, let alone have considerable respect for her as a mother-in-law?

She might even expect her, the mother-in-law, to take care of and serve her daughter-in-law, which made Chiang Yun’s vision go dark at the mere thought.

Someday, she would have to take care of her in-laws and also tend to Zhang Yi and his wife, and when the grandson was born, look after the little one too.

As for Zhang Guohua, there was no hope he would do much, being grateful that he didn’t hold them back was already a huge relief.

As for Zhang Yi achieving success and being filial to his parents, Chiang Yun dared not even entertain the hope.

Reflecting on this, Chiang Yun felt she should be a bit selfish, “Xiao Yi is already an adult.”

“He should consider his own future more.”

“Haven’t you heard what your sister said?” Even if she did give Zhang Yu a piece of her mind that day.

In hindsight, even if Zhang Yu lacked ambition when he was young, it was because he was taking care of Zhang Dagu and his wife and couldn’t focus on his work.

In Zhang Yi’s case, he didn’t need to worry about home affairs, yet he managed to make a mess of his work.

Ah, Zhang Guohua thought that by bringing up Zhang Yi, he could make Chiang Yun change her mind, but to his surprise, after only a brief hesitation, she said the following.

“And if I’m not around, you father and son will be even more pitiful, and then we’ll see if the elders are willing to soften their hearts.”

“By the way, you can also find a time to discuss with the elders about the prospective bride we have chosen for Xiao Yi.”

“Didn’t you say we shouldn’t speak of it too soon?” Zhang Guohua remembered Chiang Yun warning him repeatedly to hold back and not to blurt it out too early.

It was out of concern that if the conditions weren’t agreed upon with the other party, they would avoid ridicule, so why the sudden change to come clean now?

She glanced at Zhang Guohua, “Are your parents strangers?”

“Don’t they wish for Xiao Yi to have a good life?”

“If they knew that Xiao Yi might marry a bride with a powerful family behind her, wouldn’t they be happy?”

“If they’re happy, wouldn’t they be willing to spend money?”

“Once they spend money, won’t that be the funds for Xiao Yi’s marriage?”

Chiang Yun actually just wanted to find an excuse; she wasn’t going to take responsibility if Zhang Yi failed to woo the girl.

She had offered a suggestion, and if the plan fell through, it would be on the father and son.

Zhang Guohua felt that Chiang Yun’s ideas were a bit strange, but then again, they made sense.

Everyone knew that Zhang Dagu and his wife were very unhappy with Chiang Yun, and she herself was very dissatisfied, unwilling to work yet being forced to.

This would only worsen the conflict.

It might be better to let Chiang Yun go back for a while to ease the relationship, and then she could make a better impression later on.

Zhang Guohua couldn’t believe that he and his son, being the eldest son and grandson, wouldn’t receive at least some consideration from Zhang Dagu and his wife.

“This idea isn’t bad, just wait and see,” Zhang Guohua said confidently.

Originally, Chiang Yun wanted to persuade Zhang Guohua not to do nothing but to actively help with the work.

However, seeing how excited Zhang Guohua was, his face certain of success, she held back her words.

Some things are like her, only when one does them and experiences the flavor will one realize the difficulty of the task at hand.

Zhang Guohua turned over to rest and did not help Chiang Yun pack things up.

Chiang Yun watched Zhang Guohua turn over to rest, dumbfounded that he did not ask whether he would help clean up the house tomorrow.

After all, it’s a house that hasn’t been lived in for a long time; one could imagine how dirty it must be, not knowing how long it would take to clean.

Hearing Zhang Guohua’s snoring, Chiang Yun knew not to expect anything; she should have known a long time ago that the pampered eldest son of Zhang Dagu and his wife would not be someone who often considered others.

Unless you speak up, don’t expect Zhang Guohua to help with the work.

Wiping away a tear, she didn’t understand why she suddenly started crying.

“Although I have a man, although I have a son, what good does it do?”

“You take care of them, and they will never see your effort.”

“I was really out of my mind to think of getting married and having children.”

Chiang Yun scoffed as she looked at Zhang Yu, living alone, cooking at home whenever he wanted.

If he didn’t want to, he would just go to a restaurant, never needing to consider others.

Chiang Yun quickly finished packing, “All right, we’ll leave tomorrow.”

If she could, she really wanted to leave immediately, but she thought it over and decided she still had to tell Zhang Dagu and his wife.

Then she would prepare one last breakfast, although she really didn’t want to; after all, she hardly ever received a word of thanks.

But since she was leaving, she might as well perform well one last time.

So there was Chiang Yun, packing until midnight, then resting.

Lying in bed, she couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

“Zhang Yu said I should get more rest, but look at me?”

“It’s okay, once I get back, I too will exercise every day, sleep early and wake up late, and ensure plenty of sleep.”

Chiang Yun silently vowed that she would let Zhang Yu see her change the next time he came.

The alarm went off, and Chiang Yun, if it had been before, would have just turned over and continued to rest.

But today, she got up briskly from bed and went downstairs to get busy.

What she didn’t know was that, when the alarm rang, Zhang Dagu and his wife in the next room were already awake.

In the past, they would have gotten out of bed and gone downstairs upon waking, but now they didn’t want to go out.

Because as soon as they got up, Chiang Yun would not want to cook, waiting for them to do the work instead.

Pan Juan thought it was time to teach Chiang Yun a lesson.

No matter how late they got up, there would still be breakfast to make.

Isn’t it just a wage deduction for being late?

It was just like this that Chiang Yun would keep the matter in mind and not make the same mistake in the future.

But unexpectedly, today Chiang Yun really did get up early.

Pan Juan found it very strange.

“How come the eldest daughter-in-law got up so early today?” Pan Juan wondered.

Zhang Dagu, already sitting on the sofa reading a book, thought Pan Juan was overthinking, “Isn’t it good that she took the initiative to get up and cook?”

“If she doesn’t get up to cook, you’d still be angry.” Zhang Dagu really didn’t understand why Pan Juan had to think so much.
