"Whatever is said, it's not just your responsibility; it's my own problem." If I hadn't been so hot-headed and careless when I was young, things wouldn't be like this now.
"Xiao Yi is married now. On the surface, he calls me 'Mom,' but I know he resents me deep down. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so indifferent towards me all these years."
Hu Bin sighed, softly patting Shen Qing, silently comforting her. He understood his wife's pain. "Things will get better, slowly. My salary has increased; it's forty-five yuan a month now. We'll save up, Lijuan is going to college, there are lots of expenses, and Xiao Dung is in high school and will have to apply to college in a few years. We'll have to think about weddings and everything. If Xiao Yi's wife has a child, as a mother, you didn't give much when they got married, but we'll definitely treat our grandchild well."
