A life of financial freedom

In the next few days, Chu's mother fell seriously ill and lay in bed almost every day with dull eyes.

She still couldn't accept her father's departure.

Because of the departure of grandpa, only grandma was left, so Chu Fang took her grandmother to live in his home for retirement.

"Your father must be very sad to see you like this." Grandma took care of Chu's mother and was worried about her daughter's condition. "When you were a child, your father loved you the most and couldn't bear to see you cry..."

Seeing Chu's mother's eyes red, she recalled her childhood and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Grandma sighed.

"Mom, your girlfriends asked you to play mahjong." Chu Fang entered the room and said.

"No!" Chu's mother refused.

She didn't go to play mahjong, which showed how painful it was.

"Go." Chu Fang said.

After some persuasion, Chu's mother finally got out of bed and went to play mahjong, and Zhong Tingyue took the initiative to volunteer to go to the mahjong hall with Chu's mother.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the mahjong hall.

"I don't want to be with you." Chu's mother said angrily.

"I want to be with you." Zhong Tingyue put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "You are my future mother-in-law."

"I am not!"

"Then break up with Chu Fang?"

"..."

Hearing this, Chu's mother's words got stuck in her throat. She pouted slightly, snorted, and strode forward.

Zhong Tingyue's mouth drew a shallow arc.

In response to Chu's mother's hostile behavior, she did not blindly please or flatter her, but took a head-on attitude, often leaving Chu's mother speechless.

After a while, the two arrived at the mahjong hall.

"Oh, you're finally here."

"I heard you're laying eggs at home?"

"..."

Mother Chu is an old acquaintance in the mahjong parlor. When everyone saw her, they teased her. Their eyes moved to Zhong Tingyue, and they couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Tsk, what a good girl, she and your 'Guaiguai' are a perfect match made in heaven."

"That's right, not only is she beautiful, but she's also virtuous."

"..."

At the funeral a few days ago, everyone saw with their own eyes that Zhong Tingyue, as a girlfriend, was busy and virtuous.

Zhong Tingyue smiled lightly: "Thank you for the compliment, uncles and aunts."

After a while, she got along well with many neighbors, and left Mother Chu aside. Seeing this, Mother Chu was so angry that she gasped.

"Sure enough! The fortune teller was right. This person is the 'star of misfortune' who has isolated me... ...Eh? ... ...Shouldn't she be isolated?"

Seeing that Chu's mother was angry again, Zhong Tingyue ended her chat with the neighbors and invited everyone to the table to play cards.

"Do you want to play mahjong?" Seeing the 'star of misfortune' sitting opposite, Chu's mother asked.

"Yes." Zhong Tingyue nodded.

She seemed to know why people in Sichuan and Chongqing like to play mahjong, which has a special entertainment.

"Humph! People who play mahjong are not good people." Chu's mother said.

A sister who has been playing mahjong for decades said, "You have been playing mahjong for decades, and you still blame others?"

"That's right." Another partner said softly, "I still remember when we were young, we played mahjong for a whole day and night. When we were in school, the teacher said: I have four things to say about this matter. You squinted your eyes at the time, stood up immediately, and shouted: Wait, I won with four."

"That's right, I remember it very clearly." The partner just now said, "At that time, the teacher found out that the four of us played mahjong and told our parents. We were beaten, but you didn't do anything. You laughed at us, which made us angry."

Hearing that Chu's mother was playing mahjong at such a young age, Chu Fang's grandparents did not stop her. Instead, they found a set of mahjong to teach her how to play.

"Why are you talking about these..." Chu's mother muttered, and seeing Zhong Tingyue's smile, she felt ashamed and played the cards in her hand: "Four."

"Peng." Zhong Tingyue said.

"Five."

"Touch again."

Mother Chu got angry and played mahjong: "Six, keep touching."

Zhong Tingyue smiled: "Win."

"..."

Mother Chu felt a huge pressure on her shoulders.

She had always lived under care, with the love of her parents, the care of her husband, and the filial piety of her son. No one disobeyed her, and no one even said a bad word to her.

And today, she seemed to have met her match, the future daughter-in-law in front of her.

She didn't spoil her like other family members, but opposed her everywhere.

At this time, she believed more and more the rumor of "the star of fate" was sent by God to "isolate" her!

"Oh, I'm so angry!"

After half an hour, the other two card partners looked at each other in silence.

This mother-in-law and daughter-in-lawAs if they were seriously ill, they played cards to squeeze each other.

Chu's mother gritted her teeth in anger, while Zhong Tingyue had a calm face and a smile.

... ...

Chu Fang didn't know that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were "fighting" at the moment. He sat in the middle of the yard and looked at the sky.

"Huh..." He exhaled deeply, "It's finally over."

Although a few days have passed, the departure of grandpa is still lingering in my heart.

"What are you doing?" Just then, Qi Guan and his two children came from outside and said with a smile.

"I feel that the world is impermanent." Chu Fang walked into the room, moved a few benches, and took some snacks to hand to the two children.

"Hey, life is like that." Qi Guan sat down, "There are bitterness and spiciness, sourness and sweetness, and it is never smooth sailing. If there is no hardship, you think you are living in heaven."

"Can't you comfort me?"

"No!" Qi Guan touched his little daughter's head, his eyes full of pity, "You kid has surpassed ordinary people without any effort, you are rich and handsome, and your girlfriend is so beautiful. Even in this situation, you still need me to comfort you? You are almost done."

Although he knew that his friend was telling the truth, Chu Fang still rolled his eyes.

The truth hurts!

The two sat in the yard, drinking tea and chatting.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore." Qi Guan looked at the sky and planned to go home.

Chu Fang did not stop him. He took out two red envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the two children. Seeing this, Qi Guan hurriedly stopped him and said, "I was not present when you got married. This is a belated gift and also a gift for the two children."

"That won't work either." Qi Guan frowned slightly. He didn't touch the red envelope, but just took a look at it. It was bulging, and he knew that the amount was not small.

"Take it." Chu Fang stopped his friend, "If you don't take it, I will take these two children to buy high-end toys someday, the kind that costs millions."

"..." Qi Guan was choked and was silent for a while: "You have money, you have the final say."

The arrogance of the rich is fully reflected in Chu Fang.

Qi Guan had no choice but to take it and left with the two children.

Chu Fang shook his head and smiled.

Qi Guan and his wife helped a lot at my grandfather's funeral, and this favor should be repaid.
