see you in spring

Chapter 56 Regret the Choice
At this time, Sun Yan ignored Lao Gao's already swollen face and kept preparing dinner for her children in the kitchen.

Liu Quanhai came out of the room and walked to the kitchen door to stop. Sun Yan turned around, holding a spatula in her hand, and looked at him warily.

Liu Quanhai tried his best to put on a fake smile: "Sister-in-law, my mother is old and easily excited. Don't argue with her."

Don't argue with her?Sun Yan sneered in her heart, it was indeed two brothers, and they even said the same thing about making peace.Every time the old woman tormented her badly, Liu Quantao would always tell her not to care about his older and excitable mother afterwards.

The phrase "don't bother with her" reminded Sun Yan that when she was pregnant with her second child and was seven or eight months old, and was asked by her mother to kneel on the ground and wipe the whole floor with a rag, Liu Quantao asked Don't care about her with the old man.

She also thought about the time when she had just married Liu Quantao, both of whom had just started their careers, and they didn't want to have a child so early. His mother began to suspect that she couldn't have a baby after her stomach hadn't moved for half a year.She explained to her mother-in-law that she and Liu Quantao were using birth control, but the old woman didn't believe it and insisted on letting her try to get pregnant right away, saying that if she didn't want another abortion, she wouldn't believe she could give birth.

After hearing such words at that time, Sun Yan's outlook on life was almost shattered, but Liu Quantao's excuse was that his mother was old and eager to have her grandson, so he asked her not to argue with the old man.

Not long after the incident, Liu Quantao asked her about having a child. At first she didn't agree, but then she couldn't stand his nudges and got pregnant.Then, I had to say goodbye to my promising job and return home to start the life of a full-time mother without dignity.

Sun Yan's eyes were piercing, and the anger accumulated in her chest became more and more intense, and she yelled at Liu Quanhai: "Why did you run out? Don't you know that you have to abide by the "Home Quarantine Commitment"?"

Liu Quanhai shrugged, as if it was no big deal: "It didn't come into contact with others. Besides, my brother has been diagnosed for several days. If we were also infected, wouldn't we have been sick long ago? We are fine now. It means we are not infected at all. Who can bear it if we are not sick but are locked up like this every day? They all feel that they are victims, but we are actually the real victims. They just don’t close our doors. To be fair, it’s illegal!”

Sun Yan did not expect that Liu Quanhai would be so indifferent: "Liu Quanhai, you are also a person who went to college. Don't you know that the onset period and the incubation period are different? Just because you are fine now does not mean that you are really fine. As long as you are in isolation If you go out during the period, you may infect others. Compulsory isolation is our obligation. If you go out without authorization, you endanger public safety. If you really come into contact with others, you will be convicted!"

Seeing Sun Yan's serious face, Liu Quanhai softened his tone: "Sister-in-law, I understand. I won't sneak out next time. From now on, I will report my temperature to you on time every day, so you don't get angry."

After signing the "Letter of Commitment", the property management company asked them to report body temperature measurement reports every day in the group, but every day Liu Quanhai was hesitant and had to be urged before he told her a number to report, and she also I don't know if this is what he said casually or if he actually measured it.

She endured the anger in her chest: "Liu Quanhai, you know your brother's situation now, and you know the situation in this family better. I don't ask you to contribute anything to this family, but you also don't cause any more trouble to this family. .You'd better abide by the regulations in the commitment letter, otherwise, if something happens, no one can save you."

"I know, I know, it's not that serious, so don't worry too much. If the property management people come to you again about this matter, just talk to them and tell them not to pursue it any further."

Sun Yan finally understood why Liu Quanhai had the patience to talk to her in a nice voice. It turned out that he was afraid that she would report the situation to the property management again and worry that she would be caught.

She looked at him coldly, put on insulated gloves, turned around and took the steamed eggs out of the living room.

Seeing that she remained silent, Liu Quanhai felt unsure, so he followed her to the living room, sat down at the dining table and waited for dinner.

Sun Yan saw that he came over empty-handed and didn't even know how to bring the dishes and the dishes cooked on the stove. She could only turn around and walk towards the kitchen.

Liu Quanhai glanced at the dishes on the table and crossed his legs: "Sister-in-law, you haven't answered what I just told you. By the way, don't forget to get me a bowl."

Sun Yan came over with the food in one hand and the two children's bowls and chopsticks in the other, and said angrily: "You have hands and feet, why can't you get it yourself?"

Liu Quanhai was stunned for a moment and could only stand up and go to the kitchen to get a bowl.

Sun Yan mixed the food for the child, turned to Liu Quanhai, who had just returned to the table, and said, "You are already in your twenties. From now on, you can do your own work. You can wash and dry the clothes you put in the washing machine. I clean up by myself, mop the floor by myself, I am a member of this family, not a nanny.”

Liu Quanhai's hands holding the vegetables paused for a moment, his face clearly unhappy, but after all, he wanted something from her, so he muttered: "Okay."

The old woman who had been listening to them in the house couldn't bear it any longer. She opened the door and rushed out, pointing at Sun Yan's nose: "What on earth do you mean, let my son do all the work, do you really think you are a young mistress? I Let me tell you, if you don’t want to do this, get out of here, this is the house my eldest son bought, you are an outsider, get out of here!"

Liu Quanhai quickly stopped his mother and whispered: "Have you forgotten what I just told you? Why are you in such a hurry? She hasn't agreed yet. Let's calm down her temper first."

Sun Yan could clearly see their plan. Just now the old lady slapped her in the face in front of so many outsiders, and she was so stunned that she didn't react.Now that she had come to her senses, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She pulled the two children who were too scared to eat behind her. Although she was still a little scared, she still said what was in her heart loudly: "I also paid a down payment for this house, and my name is also on the house book. , this is my home too, if you want to leave, it’s up to you to leave.”

"What did you say? Do you dare to say that my son's house belongs to you? Let me tear your mouth apart!" The old woman was so angry that she went up and wanted to do something again. The two children were so frightened that they cried and Sun Yan was also trembling. But still in front of the child.

The old woman wanted to rush up, but was stopped by the younger son: "Calm down, calm down."

"Calm down, this woman slaps her nose in the face even if she gives you a favor. You shouldn't talk down to her. If she doesn't obey, beat her until she obeys. Let's see if she dares to rebel!"

Sun Yan was so angry that she trembled, and she risked her life. She said, "If you dare to hit me, I will call the police immediately."

"Call the police?" Her mother-in-law pointed at her and scolded her: "I knew you were a rip-off! People's properties are blocking our door. If you are asked to cooperate, just cooperate. My son has to pay several hundred dollars every month. Property fees, you see they collected the property fees and then came to seal our door, you don’t even dare to let out a fart! If you have the ability, go to the police and arrest them. I am educating you now, you have to show off to me , want to call the police? Okay, you report it!"

Sun Yan couldn't bear it anymore: "I could have sued them. It was your youngest son who didn't abide by the rules and sneaked out by himself. That's why they sealed our door in this way. Your son was responsible for all this. Don't tell me. Your son, are you coming to talk to me now? You are so eloquent, why didn’t you go up and argue with them just now?”

Seeing that Sun Yan dared to yell at her, the old woman exploded. She pointed at her nose and jumped up to scold her. Every word she said was unacceptable.

Sun Yan's hand holding the phone kept shaking. Liu Quanhai watched his mother keep irritating Sun Yan. He was afraid that Sun Yan would actually call the police in anger, so he could only persuade his mother and apologize to Sun Yan: "No, no, no, sister-in-law." Don't be impulsive. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. She has a bad temper, so don't get along with her. We are all a family, get along well, and don't call the police at every turn. My brother came back and saw us making such a fuss. Sad, right?"

The two children behind were crying and hugging Sun Yan: "Mom, I miss Dad."

Sun Yan felt a twinge of pain in her heart. She held her two children tightly. She didn't want to stay with the mother and son opposite for a moment longer, but for the remaining more than a week of isolation, she had to live with them under the same roof.

Sun Yan was tired of watching the mother and son, who were both good and bad. She took a deep breath and said to the mother and son opposite: "We are quarantined in this home together, and we can get along well if we want. In the future, we will be here At home, I only cook food for me and my children. You have hands and feet and can cook it yourself if you want. All housework is divided and one person does it for a day. If you don't do it, I won't do it either."

"Listen to your nonsense, how dare you let your mother-in-law do the work? If you were in our village, you lazy woman would have been beaten to death long ago." The old woman beat the dishes angrily.

In order to get Sun Yan to agree not to call the police, Liu Quanhai nodded like a fool: "It's okay, I agree. If my mother doesn't do it, I'll do it for her."

Sun Yan was tired all day, and now she was very hungry. She put the two children back into the chairs and sat them down, and let them eat. Then she picked up the bowl, filled her own meal, and sat down.

Just as he was about to start eating, he heard Liu Quanhai say: "Sister-in-law, can you talk to the property management about my going out and ask them not to report it? Anyway, I haven't had any contact with anyone. During the Chinese New Year, the police comrades They are quite busy, so don’t increase their workload.”

Sun Yan stopped her chopsticks: "What to do with it is the property management's business, I can't interfere."

The old woman slapped her hand on the table: "My son gives them money every month, why can't he interfere? Even the salespersons in the store know that customers are God. We are residents of the community and we give them money every month." Salary, who do they listen to if they don’t listen to us? You are a useless thing, if my eldest son is here, no one would dare to bully us like this.”

The old woman always scolded her for being useless. In the past, Sun Yan never retorted, but tonight, the slap on her face in public completely woke her up, and she didn't want to endure it anymore.

Sun Yan swallowed what was in her mouth and sneered: "Your eldest son is so capable. Go find him instead of yelling at me. You have the strength and courage to face what you just faced." When those people come, I should stand up and call to them, instead of just cowering behind me like a quail."

In the past, Sun Yan rarely dared to talk back like this. Even if she couldn't help but argue, she was cautious and frightened.But today, her tone and expression really shocked the old lady and Liu Quanhai.

"You...say it again." The old woman pointed at Sun Yan's nose and screamed.

The two children sitting at the dining table were frightened and cried again.

Sun Yan stood up and wanted to carry the two children into the house, but there was no old woman blocking the way.

This time Liu Quanhai didn't stop him, he put his hands on his hips and looked like he was watching a good show.

The younger son was so frightened by the scolding that he cried. The older son squeezed between his grandmother and mother while crying: "Grandma, please stop bullying my mother."

The old woman didn't expect that this little brat would raise his fist at her for his mother's sake.In order to establish her authority, the old woman pushed her eldest grandson out of the way.

Unexpectedly, he used too much force. The eldest grandson was pushed straight to the ground. His forehead hit the corner of the coffee table nearby, and he suddenly started bleeding profusely.
