But then she thought again, she had no right to take the money.
After careful consideration, Yu Lian temporarily accepted the bankbooks, intending to give them to He Lin when he returned.
Yu Lian helped He Xinglan find a job, and the whole family was very happy.
Li Ying immediately suggested that the family go out for a meal and buy He Xinglan a bicycle while they were at it.
They set off without hesitation, and after a quick packing, each of the four adults took charge of one child.
When locking the door, Yu Lian always felt like she had forgotten to bring something.
"Sister-in-law, why aren't you leaving?"
Yu Lian shook her head. "I have this feeling that I've forgotten something. I brought my keys and money."
He Xinglan patted his shoulder, "Let's go, sister-in-law, then there's nothing left."
"Probably, let's go."
An hour later.
The scene He Lin had imagined—leaving get off work early—did not happen.
The house was spotless and tidy, and there was no one there.
He looked around at the house his parents rented across from the factory, but no one was there.
So this family left him behind when they went out?
Yu Lian finally remembered that she had forgotten something.
However, everyone had almost finished eating.
"Did we forget to bring your brother?"
He Xinglan looked up at her sister-in-law and said with an awkward smile, "Sister-in-law, it seems so."
After the elderly couple finished eating, they took their grandchildren to play at the door early, leaving only the two of them and An'an still eating.
He Ning'an then remembered her father. "It's okay, Mom. I put a small steamed bun in my pocket for Dad."
"An'an is such a good girl, your dad will definitely be moved to tears later."
Auntie was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, she was being sarcastic, but An'an didn't understand.
"It's okay, you can eat by yourself. Your dad is a grown man, he can cook for himself. Besides, there's a cafeteria."
Yu Lian's words made the aunt and niece forget about the person who had been forgotten by the whole family.
After eating, we headed towards the department store.
Li Ying had money and tickets in her bag.
This matter has a different meaning for her; she wants to reward each of her two children with a bicycle.
Yu Lian was just accompanying her, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to buy her one too.
"Mom, no need, don't spend money on me."
"Sister-in-law, please don't stand on ceremony with Mom. If you're too polite, she'll be upset tonight."
He Xinglan whispered in her sister-in-law's ear, "Sister-in-law, if you treat Mom like an outsider, don't be fooled by her quiet demeanor. When she's alone, she tends to overthink and sheds tears."
Yu Lian tugged at her sleeve, her neck shrinking back slightly in shock. "It's possible. I'm not estranged from Mom. I just don't want to waste this money. If I want to buy it, I'll pay for it myself."
"Isn't this just creating distance? Sister-in-law, you should accept it with the same peace of mind as I do."
Yu Lian thought to herself that she was going to part ways with He Lin, so how could she easily accept the kindness of the He family?
"I really don't need it. I don't need it, and it would be a waste to sell it."
Li Ying pushed her daughter-in-law's hand away, "Why don't you need it? You'll be going to school and coming home every day. Riding a bike is so convenient, especially in the summer. You absolutely have to buy one."
This was the first time her mother-in-law had shown such a domineering side in front of her.
In the end, she couldn't stop her. The sales clerks at the department store counter looked at Li Ying like she was a god of wealth.
Producing two industrial coupons in one go was something that ordinary people couldn't do in those days.
"Here, give this to the child!"
The sales clerk kindly had a colleague hand over a small bag of candy, which she enthusiastically stuffed into Li Ying's hand before seeing them out.
Yu Lian gripped the cold handle, her emotions a jumbled mess.
"Sister-in-law, can you ride a bike?"
With He Xinglan present, Yu Lian realized she didn't know the answer to the question. She suddenly understood and said, "Lanlan, you're right. It's a waste to buy one since I can't ride a bike. Let's return it before we go too far."
He Xinglan waved her hand, "Perfect timing, my brother knows how to ride, I'll have him teach you when we get back."
Her demands were ignored once again.
In the end, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind.
Half an hour later.
After dropping her daughter-in-law and several grandchildren off at their doorstep, Li Ying left with her husband and daughter without even taking a sip of water.
"We're leaving. Remember to lock the door tonight."
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
Yu Lian took out the key from her bag and was about to open the door when the door was opened from the inside.
He Lin appeared in the darkness, and a beam of light from the street lamp at the entrance shone on his face. At the intersection of darkness and light, his features appeared more three-dimensional and profound.
"You were home, you gave me a fright."
Where did you go?
"Lanlan found a job, and Mom is treating us to dinner."
"Grandma also bought a bicycle for Mom and Aunt! Grandma said she'll buy one for me when I'm a little older."
He Ning'an is also very interested in bicycles.
He spoke with great enthusiasm when talking about bicycles.
However, he didn't forget the steamed buns in his pocket.
Upon entering the house, the first thing to do is check if there is food in the kitchen and on the dining table.
"Dad, have you had dinner tonight?"
"I'm not hungry."
He Ning'an could sense that her father was a little different. "Here, I... Mom asked me to bring you some steamed buns. Eat them."
He watched as his father took the unwrapped steamed bun from his bag and ate it.
"Dad, don't you think I'm dirty?"
"I don't mind."
He Ning'an's lips drooped as she thought to herself that her father had taught her not to lie, even though just two days ago he had complained that the clothes she wore outside were dirty and that she couldn't lean on him.
"Is your mother good to you? She still remembers you when we eat."
He Lin finished the palm-sized steamed bun in two bites, and even seemed a little unsatisfied.
"What else did Mom leave me?"
He Ning'an put his hands in his pockets, looked left and right, and finally found a few candies that he hadn't finished eating.
"There's still candy. Eat it, Dad. It's your fault for not being home. We've finished eating, and there's nothing left. If you're still hungry, go cook for yourself. Don't make Mom do anything."
He Lin reached out and tapped his son's head. "When have I ever ordered your mother around?"
"That's good. I'm going to find my younger siblings now."
Upon returning from outside, the first thing Yu Lian did was change out of the clothes that had been stained and filthy by the children.
She was completely unaware of the conversation between the father and son outside.
"He Lin, you'll probably have to go back to school next week. I won't be there this afternoon, so remember to pick up An An."
"Are the results out?"
Yu Lian shook her head. "No, but I have confidence in myself."
"Hmm, when will the results be released?"
"Three days later, by the way, thank you for reporting that."
If she hadn't mentioned it beforehand, people would definitely have noticed something based on their current way of interacting.
"There's no need for couples to be too distant."
Yu Lian knew he was trying to confuse the issue. "Thank you is thank you, but it has absolutely nothing to do with our relationship. Besides, you're still 99 points away from 100. Do I need to remind you?"
"No need for that, you just need to give me a fair score."
"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who goes back on his word."
She felt trembling and uneasy as she said these words.
