After greeting his parents-in-law, Jiang Wan went to the magazine office to arrange his work.

Before leaving, she called Editor-in-Chief Zhang and told him about her situation.

Although Editor-in-Chief Zhang was a little surprised, he still expressed his agreement.

"Jiang Wan, it is very important for you to ease the relationship with your parents."

"Go and take care of your own business first. I'll keep an eye on the magazine's affairs and make sure nothing goes wrong."

With Editor-in-Chief Zhang's assurance, Jiang Wan felt relieved.

Jiang Wan felt that it was a great fortune to have a comrade-in-arms who could always stand by him.

He is a very reliable person at all times.

At any time, he can use his not-so-broad shoulders to protect him from wind and rain.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when everything was arranged. Jiang Wan had a simple meal and drove to the downstairs of the guesthouse.

When she went over, her elder brother and sister-in-law were already waiting there.

Before they saw her, their faces looked a little nervous and anxious.

After seeing her, they were visibly more relaxed.

"Sister, you are finally here."

Jiang Zhuoran was obviously relieved after saying this. It seemed that he was afraid that she would stand them up after agreeing.

"Get in the car, let's go to the city together."

Jiang Wan opened the car door, and Jiang Zhuoran and Yu Jingshan quickly got in.

Although Jiang Wan rarely drives, he drives very steadily and looks like an experienced driver.

It usually takes more than an hour to get to the city by bus, which takes a long and winding route.

Now you can drive directly and arrive in less than half an hour.

Under Jiang Zhuoran's guidance, the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the hospital.

After everyone got off the car, Jiang Wan found a place to park the car.

Jiang Zhuoran was already waiting at the hospital entrance. When he saw her coming, he waved at her.

Jiang Wan discovered that her brother seemed a little overly nervous about his arrival.

Now she has arrived at the hospital entrance, but he is still worried about her.

Did he think that since she had already agreed to come back, she would still run away?

Jiang Wan followed Jiang Zhuoran and came to the ward with him.

The door of the ward was open when they passed by.

Yu Jingshan had already gone in. She stood by the bed and called softly, "Mom."

The person on the hospital bed was still sleeping. He only frowned slightly when he heard her voice, but did not wake up.

"Mom seems to be asleep, why don't we wake her up later?"

Jiang Zhuoran walked up to Jiang Wan and asked cautiously.

"can."

Jiang Wan was just about to look for a stool, but Yu Jingshan had already taken her own stool and gave it to her.

"Sister, please sit on this stool."

Yu Jingshan smiled friendly, and Jiang Wan took it after she got angry, without rejecting her kindness.

Jiang Wan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar old lady.

This is her biological mother, and they haven't seen each other for many years.

Jiang Wan had thought about the scene of their meeting. She had imagined many possibilities, but she had never expected it to be like this.

The woman who used to be slightly plump and looked extremely stern now looked much thinner.

Not only has she lost weight, but she has also aged a lot. In the past, she paid great attention to dressing up, always keeping herself clean, and sometimes even putting on beautiful makeup.

Now her face is full of wrinkles, her hair is messy, and she looks very old.

At this time, she was just an old lady lying on the hospital bed, tortured by illness, and looked very pitiful.

Her face had aged and looked completely different, but Jiang Wan still recognized her at the first sight.

After not seeing them for so many years, she found that her parents' appearance had already been engraved in her mind.

Jiang Wan opened his lips slightly and called out "Mom" silently.

Her throat was dry and she could hardly make a sound.

For the first time, Jiang Wan realized that after not calling someone by name for a long time, he still felt uncomfortable when he suddenly called them by name.

No sound came out this time, and Jiang Wan no longer had the courage to scream a second time.

She sat quietly beside the bed, staring at the increasingly thin old man.

The woman who used to seem so energetic and had such a loud voice, would become so weak one day.

Looking at her, Jiang Wan felt that time was passing by quickly.

She stared at the little old lady's sarcastic little mouth, which was the same mouth she used to chatter with all day long.

My mother is very eloquent, but she used to be very dumb with her words.

Every time she was scolded by her mother, she was speechless, but she never knew how to refute.

At that time, Jiang Wan felt like a fool in front of his parents.

She has no say and her ideas are not taken seriously.

No matter what happened at home, as soon as she wanted to make a decision, her parents would hold her down and shut her up.

In the past, she had a lively and cheerful personality and liked to talk about everything.

But then she realized that what parents don't want is a child who contradicts them.

What they really want is a daughter who is well-behaved and sensible and who listens to everything they say.

Rather than a daughter who has her own ideas about everything and makes her own requests from time to time.

This is not the daughter they wanted, nor is this the type they like.

So every time Jiang Wan opened his mouth, he would be ruthlessly suppressed by them.

Jiang Wan couldn’t figure it out before, but later he gradually understood the reason.

She spoke less and less, and became more and more obedient and silent.

Her parents thought she was compromising, so they became even more severe and controlled her even more strictly.

Jiang Wan felt increasingly suffocated living in such an environment and became less and less willing to talk.

Her parents did not find the reason for her abnormal behavior, but instead thought that their discipline was effective.

Every time my mother went out and chatted with others, there was joy in her voice.

She always tells others in vivid detail the things she did to pressure her and force her to compromise.

She even became a role model of how to manage children in the eyes of others, and many neighbors and parents came to her for advice.

At that time, my mother always accepted everyone who came to her. She would open up her pain bit by bit in front of everyone.

She never cares whether she is willing for her privacy to be invaded or not. Will these things hurt her self-esteem?

My mother’s thoughts at that time were very simple. She just appreciated the feeling of being the center of attention.

Now that I think about it, there are indeed many flaws with my mother.

But she took care of her in every detail of life and was very particular about the food she fed her every day.

It can be said that before marrying Cheng Jinnian, Jiang Wan had hardly ever suffered from any hardship in terms of food and dressing.

Such a mother that she loved and hated, until now, Jiang Wan didn’t know whether she had ever truly resented her in her heart?
