Chapter 300 - 295: Phoenix Man
"You’re already taking her side before we’ve even started talking." Granny Liu sounded a little jealous.
"Mom, isn’t this all for your sake? Just think about it, if there were any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, wouldn’t I be the one who’s heartbroken in the middle? If I’m heartbroken, wouldn’t you be worried too?" Ye Qiu persuaded gently and patiently.
"Look at those on TV with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, who isn’t worried and looks down and out all day long? When that happens, how can I still focus on work? I’d have to stick around you guys every day!"
"That makes some sense." Granny Liu felt there was some truth in that, mainly because she absolutely couldn’t let herself be the reason for affecting her son. But throughout history, hasn’t it always been the daughter-in-law serving the mother-in-law? How come it’s the mother-in-law accommodating the daughter-in-law when it comes to her?
"But your wife can’t be competing with me, right? After all, I am an elder!"
"Mom." Ye Qiu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "I never said Mengmeng would compete with you. Look, she respects you so much that she’s saved up her pocket money to buy you so many things. She is the girl I, your son, like. As long as you don’t nitpick or make things difficult for her, that will be enough. In the future, Mengmeng and I will both take care of you together."
"You talk as if I’m a terrible mother-in-law." Liu Sanying muttered discontentedly.
"Who says you’re a terrible mother-in-law? Mengmeng was just telling me yesterday that you were able to raise me so well out here in the countryside, so in the future, if we have kids, we definitely want you to take care of them. You could just make them delicious food every day while Mengmeng and I will be in charge of their education, ensuring they’re healthy and smart."
Upon the mention of grandchildren, Granny Liu’s mood brightened instantly. When it came to child-rearing, no one could compete with her; in the entire village, whose children were raised better than hers? If she had a grandson in the future, she would definitely make sure he was plump and healthy.
Since the future daughter-in-law had already mentioned letting her take care of the future grandchild, all of Granny Liu’s dissatisfaction vanished at this moment. Although she was uneducated and did not understand any profound principles, she was aware that modern young people were reluctant to leave their children with the elderly. In her opinion, how could the young people of today know how to raise children? However, her daughter-in-law seemed quite smart. Now Granny Liu even started to fantasize about what her future grandson would look like.
