Chapter 2616 Filial Piety and Generosity
“Grandpa, Grandma, please don’t be too harsh on Aunt Ye. She did something wrong and has been punished. None of us can stay by my dad’s side, but she is the one who will stay with him for the rest of his life.”
“We can’t be nice to her, but we shouldn’t always give her a hard time either. If she’s unhappy, my dad will be caught in the middle and won’t be able to put up a good show.”
Zhou Yang knew he was too busy with work to spend time with his father, so all he could give him was money.
As his father gets older, having someone by his side to take care of him makes him, as his son, feel much more at ease.
He didn't need to worry about his mother, as Uncle Lu was there to keep her company, and his younger sister was also by her side.
His father only had him as a child, so he was responsible for his father's care in his old age.
His mother told him that the mistake his father made when he was young was a problem between husband and wife. His father had fulfilled his responsibility to raise him, and never cut off his living expenses even during the most difficult times.
Besides, his father treated him very well later on. Just because his father fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, he should take responsibility for his father's old age.
Zhou Yang considered hiring a nanny, but his father refused, saying that he could still earn money driving for ride-hailing services and didn't need a nanny. Besides, Aunt Ye had been released from prison, and having her accompany his father was better than hiring a nanny.
Zhou Yang then said that when the two of them get old and it becomes really inconvenient, he will hire a caregiver for them. For now, he gives his father 30,000 yuan a month for living expenses.
Ye Jianni's health is not good, and she often needs to see a doctor and take medicine. Zhou Honglin's income alone is not enough. Moreover, the old man and his wife are getting old and have a lot of health problems. Even though they have pensions, they are not much.
Zhou Yang gives his father 30,000 yuan a month for living expenses, which makes his father's life much easier.
Old Zhou pursed his lips and remained silent.
Grandma Zhou said, "We've been good enough to her. Based on what she did in the past, most people would have divorced her long ago. Her family doesn't like her either. If your father divorces her, she'll have nowhere to go."
"Now she just stays home cleaning, buying groceries and cooking. In her spare time, she goes to the park to practice Tai Chi and other things. She lives a very comfortable life."
“Yangyang, it’s because you’re so generous and don’t hold grudges. Most people wouldn’t support her. You’re practically supporting her now. Your dad’s income from driving a car isn’t even enough to cover his expenses, and these days it’s not easy to drive a car.”
"It's also because your mother is a good person that she raised you to be so good."
At this point, Old Mrs. Zhou's expression sombered, "It is our Zhou family that is unfortunate."
Instead of having such a good daughter-in-law as Hailing, they mistreated Hailing, causing her to divorce, and then married Ye Jianni. The Zhou family's good days were gone forever. Now that things are getting better again, it's all thanks to Yangyang, who was taught by Hailing.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Grandma, it's tiring to hate someone. I don't want to hate anyone. As long as Aunt Ye is good to my dad, and the two of you take care of each other, my dad will be happy in his later years."
“I told my dad to stop driving cars, but he said he was too bored at home and insisted on going out to drive cars.”
However, after Zhou Honglin had his son to support him, he had much more freedom to drive. He didn't work as hard as before. Instead, he would go out and do a few fare delivery when he wanted to, and when he didn't want to drive, he would go on road trips with Ye Jianni and take his wife around to relax.
The two elders said, "That's what your father said, so let him be. He's not that old now. There are many elderly people in our hometown who are over seventy and still farming."
Zhou Yang smiled; he respected his father's choice.
"Grandpa, Grandma, please come sit in my office."
Zhou Yang got up, first helping his grandfather up, then helping his grandmother up.
The two elderly people said they didn't need his help, but they were very happy when he helped them.
Zhou Yang led the two elderly people back to his office, personally poured them water, and brought them some snacks and fruit suitable for the elderly.
After taking a bite of the pastry, Grandma Zhou praised it as delicious.
"Grandma likes to eat them. I'll pack some for her to take home later. But Grandma shouldn't eat too many at once. The snacks are sweet, and they can easily raise blood sugar levels in older people."
Grandma Zhou said, "Grandma knows, she only eats one piece a day."
“Yangyang, don’t listen to your grandma. If she takes it back, she’ll eat it all in a day. She can’t keep her favorite food for long, just like a mouse that can’t keep food overnight.”
Old Zhou was talking about his wife.
"..."
Grandma Zhou said sheepishly, "I don't know why, the older I get, the more I act like a child, and the more I want to eat snacks."
The couple is quite old, and one of them is already on the verge of death, but Grandma Zhou doesn't want to restrict her diet, feeling that she can eat as much as she can each day.
"Grandpa, you have to keep an eye on my grandma and make sure she doesn't eat so much."
Zhou Yang sat down opposite the two elders and asked them many questions with concern.
"Yangyang, hasn't your mother come back yet?" Old Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but ask about her former daughter-in-law.
Zhou Yang replied, "Niu Niu has already graduated from university. My mother wants her to learn how to handle family affairs and company matters, so it will take time to teach her. Unless it's something important, my mother won't be coming back."
The Lu Group has expanded its business in Jiangcheng, and his stepfather often stays in Jiangcheng.
"My aunt often flies to Jiangcheng."
The only person her mother worried about was her aunt. Her aunt often flew to Jiangcheng, and the sisters could get together when there was nothing else to do. Her mother returned to Dongguan much less often.
"Your mom can't just worry about your sister; she needs to worry about your marriage too. Since your sister was born, I feel like she's more biased towards her. You're over thirty and still single; isn't your mom worried?"
Grandma Zhou had mixed feelings about Hai Ling. She was grateful that Hai Ling had raised Yang Yang so well, and that the Zhou family was proud to have a grandson like Zhou Yang. But she also felt that Hai Ling loved her daughter more.
After Yangyang came of age, Hailing basically let him do whatever he wanted.
She could have paved a smoother and better road for Yangyang.
Let's not talk about his career. His son Yangyang is very capable; he's the CEO of several companies, and his businesses are thriving, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. But he does need to worry about important life events.
As a mother, Hai Ling isn't in a hurry at all?
"Yangyang, don't just focus on making money. You can't earn all the money in the world. Now that you've achieved success and have a great career, and you're in such good shape in every way, it's time to find a good girl to marry."
"Your grandma and grandpa are very old. We don't know when they will pass away. We all want to hold our great-grandson while we are still alive. You are our only grandson, so the hope of holding our great-grandson falls on you."
When talking to her daughter, Grandma Zhou said she had no right to interfere in Yangyang's important life matters, but she still couldn't help but nag in front of Yangyang.
"Grandma, my mom isn't biased. She treats my sister and me equally."
“My sister will take over her job in the future; that’s the rule of the Feng family. I don’t have the surname Feng, so it has nothing to do with me. I don’t need to take over my mother’s job either.”
Zhou Yang dislikes his grandmother saying that his mother is biased.
