I became beautiful by eating melons

The full moon on the 15th is exceptionally round, hanging in the dark blue sky, surrounded by a halo of white light. From a distance it looks like an oval egg, pure white and bright, illuminating the road under pedestrians' feet.

Jiang Chen held Ye Rou in his arms and walked very steadily.

Ye Rou was not sleeping soundly, and her consciousness was fuzzy. She stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Chen's neck and hummed softly: "Jiang Chen, the child is really cute."

She frowned and kept muttering these words in her sleep, looking soft, cute and well-behaved.

Jiang Chen licked his lips slowly, hugged her tighter, and said slowly: "No one is cuter than you."

Unfortunately, Ye Rou fell into a deep sleep and did not hear these words.

At the Liang family, Jiang Chen carried Ye Rou into the house.

Liang Yushan and Tian Zihui were both in the living room, each looking uglier than the other.

The broken pieces of the thermos that had been smashed during the day were still scattered on the floor, and the room was a mess.

Jiang Chen ignored her and went straight upstairs holding Ye Rou.

"Stop!" Liang Yushan's face turned pale. Seeing Jiang Chen did not stop, he became angry and took two quick steps to block the stairs.

"I told you to stop!"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Jiang Chen's face turned cold and he subconsciously wanted to cover Ye Rou's ears, but it was too late.

Ye Rou had been woken up.

She opened her eyes dazedly, subconsciously tightened her arms around Jiang Chen, put her face against him, and complained softly, "I'm so sleepy."

"Xiao Rou, you are so ignorant."

This complaint completely drove away Ye Rou's sleepiness.

She looked at Liang Yushan with obvious confusion on her face, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Be good, continue to sleep."

Ye Rou was still sleepy to begin with, and after being coaxed by Jiang Chen, she yawned lazily, not wanting to sleep yet, and rubbed Jiang Chen's shoulder uncomfortably.

Jiang Chen's face turned cold as he looked at Liang Yushan who was chattering and scolding in front of him.

"I told you before I left to take good care of your grandma, but you left this mess behind and went out to eat. Your grandma is so old, what if she steps on some debris and gets hurt?"

Compared to Ye Rou's politeness and gentleness, Jiang Chen's words were much rougher and more unpleasant to the ear.

"Isn't this old woman okay?"

"What's your attitude?" Liang Yushan's chest heaved violently with anger.

"Your grandma hasn't eaten yet, is this how you show filial piety to the elderly?"

His voice got louder as he spoke.

Jiang Chen moved his hand to press Ye Rou's ear and said impatiently, "She has hands and feet, she's not disabled. Can't she cook for herself when she's hungry?"

Liang Yushan was so angry at Jiang Chen that he coughed and scolded him.

"What are you talking about? My mother has had a hard life. If you, as the younger generation, don't serve her now, what can I expect from you in the future?"

"She worked hard to support you, not me and Ye Rou. If anyone needs to serve, it should be you."

Ye Rou had actually woken up a long time ago and was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.

She listened to Jiang Chen's rebuttal with her mouth open.

Jiang Chen has always been a very silent person. He expresses his demands and desires directly, never beats around the bush or talks nonsense, and never wastes his breath arguing with people who are impatient to deal with him.

This was the first time Ye Rou saw Jiang Chen quarreling.

"You!" Liang Yushan was so angry that he choked on his breath and bent over and started coughing desperately.

"Cough cough cough..."

His face turned red from coughing, and the bones on his back protruded, so sharp that they almost pierced through his clothes.

Jiang Chen's patience ran out, and while he was coughing, he carried Ye Rou upstairs.

Ye Rou was wrapped in a blanket, her chin resting on Jiang Chen's shoulder, her eyes fixed on Liang Yushan.

Liang Yushan's health seemed to be getting worse.

The investigation needs to be carried out as soon as possible.

-

"Yushan, drink some water and slow down." The old hand trembled as he held the cup of water in front of him.

Liang Yushan's eyes were sore, and he didn't dare to look at his mother at all. He said apologetically: "Mom, I am sorry for you. At such an old age, you still have to endure the anger of a child."

"Yushan, your children are debts that you cannot repay. You will never be at peace in your life. Xiaorou didn't grow up with us, so she's not close to us. It's normal." Tian Zihui comforted her son.

"Mom, why has my life become like this?" Liang Yushan held the water cup in his hand and covered his eyes with his other hand, his voice filled with tears.

He had two daughters, one was sent far away, and the other was not close to him.

My wife is in prison and won't be able to get out for the rest of her life.

There is no one to take care of my elderly mother at home.

I'm getting old, and my life is a mess.

Liang Yushan covered his eyes and did not see that the mother he imagined to be kind and gentle was looking at him coldly with undisguised disgust.

It doesn't look like a mother looking at her child, but more like she is looking at an enemy.

But soon, she put away the disgust in her eyes and said softly:

"Yushan, this family can't do without a mistress. Ji Yan can't come out, you know this better than mom. You can't rely on either of these two girls, so listen to mom and marry another one."

Liang Yushan's resistance weakened, Tian Zihui took his hand and continued:

"The woman I found for you has a clean family background. She's just a second marriage with a child. I'm afraid you'll dislike her."

Liang Yushan smiled bitterly, "I'm also a second marriage, what else do I have to complain about?"

"It's great that you can figure it out." Tian Zihui said with satisfaction: "You know her father, he's Lao Cai, the vegetable seller in the west vegetable market. He's an honest man. Over the years, when mom bought vegetables from him, he never cheated mom by cheating her."

Liang Yushan knew Lao Cai. He had seen him during military inspections and patrols. He was indeed an honest and decent person.

"It's not easy for his daughter. She thought she married an honest man, but she didn't expect that after marriage, he would drink, gamble and beat his wife and children. The girl couldn't stand the beating and ran away with her daughter."

Liang Yushan nodded, "She is a responsible mother."

"God only tortures the poor. His son-in-law is not easy to deal with. He clamored for Old Cai's daughter to come home, otherwise he would make trouble in his house every day. Old Cai had no choice but to come to me for help."

Tian Zihui wiped away her tears with heartache.

"I've seen that girl. She's pretty, nimble, a good kid, and she gets along well with mom. I wanted to let her meet you, and if you like her, you can marry her."

Liang Yushan only loves one person in his life - Zheng Lili.

Now that his beloved is dead, his heart is dead with her.

He doesn't want to get married again, but his health has been getting worse recently and he can't leave his mother without someone by his side.

Tian Zihui stroked Liang Yushan's short hair and said distressedly, "Mom, I know you don't want to get married, but son, you are doing this for mom, so think about it again. You also need someone to take care of you."

His mother's gentle and kind words made Liang Yushan feel even more apologetic.

He lowered his head and finally relaxed.

"Okay, I'll see you."

"That's right. We should all look forward. Life will get better and better."

Tian Zihui's tone was gratified. She looked at Liang Yushan as if he was looking at an extremely obedient chess piece, or a very handy tool. She was extremely satisfied.
