"Mom, you and Dad don't need to worry about me; I'm doing just fine. Zhicheng's salary is decent, and when he drives, he can bring back some extra things too. I have a job now, and I'm earning over thirty bucks. So you don't have to think about me; just enjoy your money and buy whatever you want. You've worked hard for most of your life, so take better care of yourselves and enjoy some comforts," Ye Fangfei said.
It was the first time someone had told her to take care of herself after working so hard for so long. And that someone was her own daughter. Hao Chunying felt a wave of emotion; it was clear that her daughter cared for her and her husband. Unlike her son, who never seemed to recognize the hardships she and her husband endured, believing their sacrifices were simply expected.
Feeling touched, Hao Chunying became even more convinced that she should secretly give her daughter a little extra in the future. "At least my daughter remembers us," she thought. "Don't worry; we know how to take care of ourselves. Your dad and I still have an egg every few days. The millet you brought back? I've made porridge with it. And the wine Zhicheng gave your dad? He’s saving it for a special occasion."
"It was only when your uncle came over that he finally decided to open it up. He even boasted about how his son-in-law is so considerate," Hao Chunying chuckled.
Hao Chunying was genuinely pleased with her son-in-law, Tang Zhicheng. Not only did he treat her daughter well, but he also frequently thought of them as well. No matter what good things he got, he always remembered to share with them. Ever since Ye Fangfei married Tang Zhicheng, they had truly benefited from his generosity.
It’s funny how people have double standards. With daughters-in-law, they often wish for them to cut ties with their families and focus solely on their in-laws. But when it comes to daughters, it's a different story altogether. When a daughter and son-in-law bring things home, it's seen as filial piety rather than just supporting their own family.
After chatting for a while, Hao Chunying declined Ye Fangfei's invitation to stay for dinner and took the apple her daughter had given her back home instead.
Ye Fangfei carefully examined the fabric once more. She decided to keep two pieces of corduroy for herself and take two pieces back home. Two pieces of fine cotton would be just about enough. The rest she would set aside for now; she could either make clothes for herself or give them away later.
As she stuffed four more pieces of fabric into her luggage, it became even more bulging. It was already eleven o'clock, and it seemed that Tang Zhicheng wouldn't be coming back for dinner today. Ye Fangfei got up and went to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of noodles. She didn't need to prepare anything special for Tang Zhicheng; a simple meal would suffice for her.
Tang Zhicheng arrived home around three in the afternoon, bringing back even more items this time. "Wife," he said, "I've managed to connect with several purchasing agents from different factories. From now on, I’ll be able to communicate with them whenever there's something we need."
He continued, "The few purchasing agents we had drinks with at noon didn’t know each other before. I was the one who facilitated the introductions." Tang Zhicheng had a bit too much to drink and his words were somewhat jumbled.
