’80s Sweet Marriage: Struggle for a Good Life

Chapter 74: The best grandma ever

Views:

Grandma Su is a very worry-free old lady. Although she is paralyzed, she will not trouble others easily.

So when grandma shouted, the three of them were startled and hurriedly ran to grandma's house.

Sunuo rushed in first, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, grandma is fine." Grandma Su saw the children were very nervous, smiled and waved her hands: "I heard what you said outside, and I also want to say a few words."

"Mom, tell me." Fang Yalan also sat beside the bed and said a little uneasily: "I also know that the children are playing tricks. I will not give up my work easily. Don't worry, Mom."

"Yalan, mom wants to advise you to think carefully about Xiaonuo's words."

Grandma Su said as she took out a small bag wrapped in handkerchief from under the pillow and pressed it into Fang Yalan's hand: "Although Mom only listened to a few words, she felt that the children meant well. Mom is old and can't help you. You're busy, but mom also wants you to do lighter work. The children are older, so it's good for you to listen to their opinions more."

"Mom?" Fang Yalan looked at the small bag in her hand and already knew what it was.

Opening the handkerchief, there was a thick stack of cents inside. The largest denomination was only five yuan, and there were several five-cent ones.

All these gross tickets add up to only a little over a hundred yuan at most. But looking at the money, everyone knew how hard grandma had saved it.

"Mom, we can't ask for this money. We still have money." Fang Yalan rewrapped the handkerchief and put it back under grandma's pillow.

But grandma pressed Fang Yalan's hand and said in a tough tone: "Are you too young? If not, just accept it. This is my mother's wish. Yalan, you have been married into the Su family for more than 20 years. Mom knows how much you have sacrificed for this family, how much you have suffered, and how many times you have been embarrassed. It’s just that Mom can’t help you much, so just accept it.”

Fang Yalan's tears fell and she held her mother-in-law's hand tightly: "Mom, you and Mingsheng are good to me, and that's enough. I'll accept the money, thank you."

"Grandma, don't worry, my sister and I will take care of mom. We will also honor you." Su Yang squatted beside the bed and firmly assured grandma.

Sunuo held her grandma's other hand and leaned her head on her mother's arms, feeling extremely happy and touched.

Because of her grandma's support, Fang Yalan considered Suno's proposal more seriously and became less repulsive.

In the evening, Su Nuo had a detailed discussion with his brother. The whole family was full of hope and a little eager to try.

The weather was particularly good the next day. When Sunuo and Su Yang went out together, they both felt the slightest fragrance in the air.

"Brother, the results are going to be released today. Although it's just a midterm exam, if I do well, you have to treat me to a popsicle." Suno spared no effort to be coquettish.

"Okay. If you get into the top ten in the class, I will buy you popsicles for a semester." Su Yang also said seriously.

In fact, Su Yang knew about Su Nuo's recent efforts, but he didn't know if his sister could overcome the problem of getting nervous when taking exams.

"Exactly." Su Nuo pursed his lips and said, "What does the top ten in the class mean? I want to be the first in the class, and maybe the first in my age."

"That's enough for the popsicles." Su Yang fondly touched Suno's hair, and his eyes fell on Suno's braided orange-red hair tie, "This color is very beautiful."

"Well, I like it very much." Suno blushed slightly, but she really liked it.
