Chapter 103 Parents’ sacrifice without expecting anything in return!
Just as the couple were cuddling together, Wu's mother had already tried on the clothes but did not put on the new clothes. She still went downstairs wearing her old clothes.
Wu Fei heard the sound of coming downstairs and turned to ask her mother:
"Mom, why aren't you wearing new clothes? Is it the wrong size?"
Su Mingzhe also said:
"If the size is wrong, you can exchange it!"
Mother Wu came over and sat next to her daughter and shook her head:
“Correct size, fits well”
"Then why aren't you wearing it?" Wu Fei asked curiously.
Mother Wu gently hit her daughter on the arm:
"Mom's clothes are not dirty yet, she will wear them later!"
In fact, Wu's mother was reluctant to wear it, especially when she saw the label on the clothes. Although she didn't know the price, she knew from looking at the brand that it was not cheap and must be very expensive.
So Wu's mother wanted to wait until she returned to China to wear it and show it off in front of those old sisters, who always said she had no son.
Did their son buy them such expensive clothes?
Su Mingzhe finally saw what Wu's mother meant, but he didn't expose it. He planned to buy a few more pieces when he had time. When his mother-in-law had more clothes, she would naturally wear them.
At this time, Wu Fei got up and found the necklace and bracelet he bought for Wu's mother from the ground, turned around and handed them to Wu's mother:
"Mom, this is the gift your son-in-law and I picked out for you together!"
Wu's mother knew at a glance that it wouldn't be cheap. She looked at her daughter and then at her son-in-law:
"Feifei, Mingzhe!"
"Mom is so old, why are you still carrying these things? Go and return them tomorrow!"
Wu Fei's eyes turned red when she heard her mother's words, so she simply took out the necklace and put it on her mother:
"Mom, please don't refuse. You have been frugal all these years just to give me a better life, and you gritted your teeth and sent me to study abroad for my future. I remember all this!"
"You also applied for medical leave in advance for Xiaomi, I remember all this!"
Su Mingzhe took the bracelet out of the box and put it on his mother-in-law:
"Yes, Mom, don't worry. Feifei and I will be your old pension from now on. We will definitely be filial to you and dad in the future. This small gift is nothing!"
After hearing the words of her daughter and son-in-law, Wu's mother couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry. She felt that having a daughter and son-in-law made all the years of hard work worth it.
Su Mingzhe thought of his father-in-law in China and suggested to his mother-in-law:
“Mom, since it’s such a big happy event, you should tell Dad, transfer some money to Dad, and let him drink some good wine to celebrate. Don’t let him drink those low-quality wines, don’t let him drink bad wine!
"
Mother Wu did not object to her child's filial piety and nodded in agreement.
Then Wu's mother took her son-in-law's hand with her right hand, hugged her daughter with her left hand and let her lean into her arms.
My mind is recalling the sufferings of these years.
My husband and I are working-class people, and we were able to live quite well with just one daughter in the family, but in order to send our daughter to study abroad, we emptied all our savings over the years.
At first, many relatives and friends did not approve of sending Wu Fei to study abroad, and there were many rumors.
For example, one time Feifei was anxious to pay for tuition and she didn’t have enough money, so she had no choice but to go to her cousin’s house to borrow money. Wu Fei’s cousin said directly:
"Why would you send your children to study abroad if you don't know what's going on at home?"
I don't know how many times I have heard similar words. Today, Mother Wu feels that all her hardships have come to an end.
When I was about to apply for medical leave last month, a colleague with whom I had a particularly good relationship gave him direct advice:
"Sister Liu (Wu's mother's surname is Liu), the price you have paid is too high. After all, your daughter is married off!"
"It's fine if your son-in-law is filial to you and Lao Wu because of your efforts. If he's not filial, what will you do in the future?"
"If you apply for medical retirement in advance, you will get a lot less pension, so you have to think about it carefully!"
"Besides, are you willing to give up the three-foot podium where you have worked all your life?"
To be honest, Wu's mother was a little shaken by what her good friend said, and she discussed it with her husband when she got home.
In the end, it was her husband's words that strengthened her confidence. She remembered that Wu Fei's father was silent for a while after hearing her concerns that night:
"Honey, I think we still have to go. We don't ask whether our children will be filial to us in the future. We just ask that we have a clear conscience!"
"Now that the child is in trouble, we must face the difficulties no matter how many difficulties we face!"
After speaking, Father Wu hugged the shoulders of his wife, who was sitting on the sofa and was struggling:
"Don't worry, isn't it just that the pension is a little short?"
"It's okay, my pension is enough for the two of us!"
In the end, Wu's mother decided to take medical leave and return to the United States.
After coming back to her senses, Wu's mother looked at her son-in-law, then at her daughter. She let go of her daughter's hand and touched the necklace around her neck. She felt very happy at this moment.
After dinner, the family stayed together for a while. This time, Wu's mother put on all her clothes with necklaces and showed them to everyone.
Aunt Zheng, the nanny on the side, praised: "Sister Liu looks much younger."
After returning to the room at night, Wu's mother couldn't help but make a phone call to her husband.
I shared everything that happened these days with my husband.
As a result, it was the weekend and Old Wu, who had just returned home from a walk after breakfast at a breakfast restaurant, was startled and said loudly:
"Wife, what did you say?"
"You mean our son-in-law is now a billionaire?"
Mother Wu said angrily:
"You damn old man, please keep your voice down, you have forgotten Sister Wang's lesson!"
"I taught my daughter and son-in-law today not to tell anyone else, but my son-in-law insisted on letting me tell you. But until you get here, you must not let anyone else know!"
Father Wu calmed down and promised:
"Don't worry, this matter will end with me, but this is incredible!"
Mother Wu showed off somewhat:
"I'm telling you, hubby, I thought Mingzhe would definitely be very promising in the future. How about it? It's only taken a few years for him to come true!"
Father Wu also nodded:
"Yes, everything you said is right!"
"Actually, when I first saw the child, I felt that he was a good child, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to marry our precious daughter to him!"
When Wu's mother heard her husband say this, she felt as if she had been robbed of her credit, so she said unhappily:
"Humph, when my son-in-law came to visit us for the first time, you were so picky!"
"And you kept pouring wine from Mingzhe. If I hadn't stopped you, that kid would have sent you to the hospital!"
Father Wu smiled brightly on the other end of the phone and said:
"Hey, didn't I just test Mingzhe? Who knew this kid was so honest and would drink as much as he asked!"
Father Wu felt that he should have a drink on such a happy day, so he asked cautiously:
"Honey, since it's such a big happy event, shouldn't we celebrate it?"
After living with her husband for so many years, Wu’s mother knew immediately what Wu’s father meant:
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I approved it, and I also gave you special permission to buy Maotai. If your life is over, I will transfer the money to you later!"
Father Wu’s life seemed to have reached its peak in an instant, and it was difficult to speak:
"Really? Honey, I can drink Maotai!"
Mother Wu explained:
"Actually, this was all my son-in-law's idea, and he also provided the money!"
"Mingzhe asked you to buy some good wine to celebrate. This kid is probably afraid that in order to save money, you will drink those low-quality wines every day and ruin your health!"
Father Wu immediately felt that this son-in-law was worth finding.
