Chapter 688: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

When he arrived at Wei Zhu's house, Zhuang Bo felt very uneasy until Song Xia spoke to him softly, and then he gradually relaxed a little.

He couldn't help but smile, as it seemed his aunt didn't dislike him.

"Let me help you." Zhuang Bo walked into the kitchen and started to pick vegetables. He was not a spoiled child and had to do all the housework since he was young. Seeing that he was a little restless, Song Xia gave him the job of peeling garlic.

"I heard from Wei Zhu that you two were college classmates and worked as student workers in the same store?"

"Well, I'm one year older than Wei Zhu. Unfortunately, I lost contact with him after he graduated. Fortunately, I met him at the examination hall this time."

"That's fate between you two." Song Xia had a smile on her face all the time, "Come to Auntie's place for dinner during your holidays in the future."

"Okay." Zhuang Bo did not hesitate. He was very happy that the progress was so fast. It was obvious that Wei Zhu also cared about him, otherwise his aunt would not know it so clearly.

"If you can all pass this time, that would be great. If you can't, don't worry. You are still young and you have to live your life to the fullest."

Zhuang Bo expressed his concerns hesitantly: "Auntie, aren't you afraid that I am not well off and can't give Wei Zhu a good life?"

Song Xia shook her head and laughed, "As long as you two are happy with each other, Auntie has no objection. Besides, our family conditions are not very good. Nowadays, wealthy families don't have so many prejudices against family background, and Auntie will not have that much either."

Zhuang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Auntie, thank you."

"Why thank me? Auntie is optimistic about you, but you need to understand, respect and communicate more in the future. Don't keep it to yourself."

"No, I assure you."

Song Xia chuckled: "Auntie doesn't believe in any promises. Auntie only sees your performance in the future."

Hearing this, Zhuang Bo felt more at ease. This was the woman he had been secretly in love with and looking for for several years. How could he bear to let her suffer?

Wei Deng looked at the two people who were talking happily and couldn't help but think of Mo Ru. For some reason, he had a hunch that if Mo Ru came home, his mother would definitely not be so kind.

"What are you upset about?" Wei Zhu looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing." Weiden lowered his head, "Sister, I envy you so much now."

Seeing his distraught look, Wei Zhu felt very conflicted. She used to envy her brother for getting all the favor from their mother, and she asked herself countless times why she was born in such a family. After her mother changed her mind, she felt endless joy and happiness.

But it must be painful for the younger brother. After all, he had been favored for so many years, and overnight, everything that belonged to him was broken. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It is not entirely the younger brother's fault that he was lazy and selfish before.

Wei Zhu touched her brother's head and said, "Mom still loves you, and your love for you has never changed. Mom just hopes that you can stand on your own feet. Otherwise, when your sister gets married and when mom is old, what will you do? No one will always take care of you without regrets. Even your future children will not always obey you."

"Is that right?"

"You have to learn to love others, then others will love you. Little brother, imagine if you give everything for your children in the future, but your children always complain that you don't give enough or that you spend too much, how would you feel?"

I'm afraid it's outrageous! Wei Deng's face changed. Even if it's his own child, he is first of all himself!
Looking at his sister's meaningful eyes, Wei Deng avoided her gaze, and he seemed to understand something.

"Don't think that Mom is being harsh on you now. At least Mom has never reduced your living expenses, nor has she ever forced you to work, right?"

Wei Deng thought about it and it seemed to be true. He felt wronged. In fact, his mother didn't seem to treat him harshly! She worked so hard to run the store every week, and she still cooked so many dishes for him to bring to school on Sundays.

Isn’t it because other mothers haven’t done the same thing that I’ve been hearing my roommates calling me “Mom” for so long?
Is it really because of my greed?
"I know you feel uncomfortable bringing your boyfriend home as soon as you start dating. And you have been dating for such a long time but I didn't give in. Isn't that because you are both too young? But when I bring you food every week, do I always make your girlfriend's portion?"

Weiden nodded in response, saying that was indeed the case, and after the first two times, the rest were packed separately.

So Weiden smiled embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I was distracted."

"It's good that you understand now and stop blaming your mother." Wei Zhu felt that her brother had really changed a lot. If she had tried to reason with him before, it would have been impossible. It's really good now. Her mother is so amazing!

"It's time to eat." Song Xia had prepared several main dishes early in the morning, so the side dishes were quick to prepare. Zhuang Bo felt that the glutton in his stomach was aroused. How could it smell so good!
"You are in for a treat today. Many people out there pay my mom a lot of money to cook for them, but she won't go."

"Auntie is amazing!" Zhuang Bo praised sincerely. After work, he would either be treated by his boss, or invited by clients to eat out, or have a meal with colleagues. He had eaten in quite a few restaurants, but he had never eaten such delicious food! And the presentation was also beautiful. Was Auntie really not some hidden chef?

"It's good that you like it. You are lucky to have learned such a skill. Otherwise, our family would have to suffer for Wei Zhu. She suffered a lot before we opened the shop."

Wei Deng felt ashamed when he heard this. At that time, his sister's monthly salary was only 5,000 yuan, but he spent more than 4,000 yuan just on eating, drinking and having fun outside. It was really wrong.

"Sister, let me serve you some soup."

Song Xia nodded with a smile: "It's not bad today. I know how to feel sorry for your sister."

Zhuang Bo also stood up: "Auntie, I'll serve you some."

"Thank you. You can sit down and eat by yourself. You've brought so many things here. It's hard work for you. Next time you come, don't buy anything. This is the first time, so forget it."

"My dad said that you must not be rude when you first visit someone."

"Is your dad okay at home alone?"

"It's pretty good. He has land at home and he usually grows some food for himself. He also raises some chickens, ducks and geese, but he doesn't make much money."

"At your age, you don't have an education like you young people. It's good enough for you to earn as much as you can. I envy your father. He has his own land and can grow whatever he wants."

"Next time I have a chance, I'll take Wei Zhu and Auntie back to have a look."

"That will happen sometime. Let's talk about it when you young people are free."

Wei Zhu kept smiling shyly. It was great that her mother recognized Zhuang Bo!
Even Wei Deng secretly told her that Zhuang Bo was much better than the previous man named Jing Jun. Fortunately, Jing Jun did not bother her again, otherwise it would still be a trouble.
