Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 344 You Will Know Later

Wu You pulled her back and said, "Hold it back and don't cry. If you wake up your grandma, I'll beat you up."

Yulan felt very aggrieved, "Mom, you are not gentle anymore."

"I'm not gentle to begin with, so stop talking nonsense and don't ask about your grandma's past. We need to look forward in life and not keep going backwards."

"But it wasn't you who was reminiscing today, and it wasn't me who brought it up."

Wu Youyi was speechless, "Then don't say it anymore."

"My grandma must be very sad, otherwise she wouldn't have left the capital."

"But grandma is always very happy." Yuyang was sleepy and confused, but he still forced himself to express his opinion.

Yu Xiu sighed, "That's just your grandma deceiving herself. Now she is trying to regulate her emotions. I'm afraid that one day she will drive herself crazy."

"Impossible. Mom is not the kind of person who dwells on trivial matters. If she says she has let it go, then she has let it go. If she says she has figured it out, then she has figured it out. Don't worry about it."

Yu Xiu scratched his head, "Really?"

Wu You comforted her, "I know you are worried about Mom, but you have been with Mom for so long, don't you believe what you see? Mom is very strong."

"Well, mother also said that she would keep going south and stop wherever she wanted."

Speaking of this, Wu You became worried again, "Mom is not a little girl anymore. What if she gets a headache or a fever?"

Yu Xiu wasn't worried about this at all, "You don't know mother's magical powers. She could be someone who could make herself sick."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"Lonely. I'm worried that Mom is lonely."

"Then what do you say we should do? How about we just follow mom?"

"No, mother doesn't agree."

"What should I do?"

"I'll follow you," said Yulan.

"No." They said in unison.

"Then I'll follow you." Yuyang said.

This family meeting did not produce any results, so the next day the four members of the family all had dark circles under their eyes.

Lan Qiyan was shocked when he got up, "You guys did something bad last night, what happened?"

Yuyang used his hands and feet to climb into her arms, "Grandma, we had a meeting yesterday."

Wu You glared at him. This brat has no control over his words. How can he say anything?

Lan Qiyan glanced at them, then smiled, a smile that was a bit bitter and a bit self-deprecating, "Second brother, your mother is in better health than you are now, why are you worried about me?"

"Mom, it's too lonely for you to walk alone."

Lan Qiyan took a sip of porridge and said, "Second Brother, life is like a carriage, from the starting point to the end point, with so many people getting on and off. Some bring you happiness, and some bring you pain. Whether it is pain or happiness, it is all fleeting, so I don't blame anyone, and I have never hated anyone.

It’s just that my carriage has now returned to the beginning. Loneliness is the norm in life. We must accept loneliness and enjoy loneliness. I am enjoying loneliness now.

Don’t think loneliness is a bad thing. When you are alone, you are actually the safest. The scariest thing in the world is people. I don’t want to deal with people anymore. It’s too tiring.”

"impossible."

Lan Qiyan felt that he had finally said something so philosophical, but his silly son actually ruined his speech. "What do you mean, little brat?"

"Humph, mother, don't you know what kind of person you are? You save people wherever you go, and you don't even have to deal with people. Who are you trying to fool?"

Lan Qiyan was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, okay, you know I can save people, so why are you still worried about whether I'm lonely?"

"Alas, people are sometimes so contradictory."

"Then shut up. I don't need anyone to worry about me."

"What about you and my dad?"

"Your father and I are a thing of the past. We are an old married couple. We are tired of each other. It's fine as it is."

"Dad loves you, but he has hurt you before. That's okay. It's enough to know that we are both safe."

Yu Xiu convinced himself, and his eldest brother even wrote to him asking him to persuade his mother to go back, and the next best thing would be to let his mother and father get back together, but he just couldn't say these words.

He never hid his emotions, and Lan Qiyan saw through it at a glance. Yu Ze was fooling him like a dog.

"Second brother, tell your eldest brother that I like to live alone."

Yu Xiu nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"If you want to go back, go back. After all, there is no way out here."

Yu Xiu knelt directly in front of her, "Mom, we are sorry for you."

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I understand."

"Mom, we are ashamed of you."

Lan Qiyan ate her meal as if nothing had happened, thinking that her fate with Yu Ze and the others ended here.

I had been planning to stay here for a while, but now it seems I should leave as soon as possible.

"when are we leaving?"

"Two days later, my eldest brother said that it was time for Yuyang to start learning."

"Well, for the sake of the children, let's go back."

"When will mother leave?"

"I'll just have these two days."

"Then I'll ask Wu You to make you some pancakes."

"Add more lard." Lan Qiyan added.

"Okay, Mom, if you want to eat it in the future, just write to me and I will bring the cake to you." Wu You instructed.

"Well, okay."

Yulan was a little angry. Didn’t she say she wouldn’t go back?

Why do you want to go back now?

When Lan Qiyan had eaten and drunk his fill and strolled away, Yulan got angry at them.

"Dad, what's the meaning of this? They're so nice to you, and you still want to go back? What's the meaning? Aren't we happy here?"

"I'm happy, but you still haven't found a place to stay, and your brother is about to start school. Do I have the heart to let you stay in this remote place?"

"After all, you are reluctant to give up your wealth and splendor."

"Yulan." Yu Xiu patted the table.

"What are you yelling about? Isn't this all for you? As the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture, what kind of husband can you find? As a girl from a peasant family, what kind of man can you marry? Can't you think for yourself?"

Yulan stamped her feet in anger, "I've already said, I don't want to get married. What's good about getting married? I don't want to get married at all. You are not good men. What else do you have? My grandma is so outstanding, but my grandpa doesn't know how to cherish her. My mom is so good, but you still quarrel with her all the time."

"Lan'er, can you please stop making such a fuss? Your grandma isn't far away." Wu You glanced outside the door.

"What are you afraid of? You can do this, are you afraid that others will know?"

"Hey, Lan'er, your father and I are doing this for you. You will understand later."

"I don't understand. I just know that you all stepped on my breasts to get there."

Yuyang seemed to understand, but he also felt that what his parents did was wrong. At the very least, they should not abandon the baby.
