Chapter 223 The Phoenix Man My DaughterFound

While Lin Liuyi was busy with Ding Lan's matter, he suddenly discovered that Wang Yuemei was asking Liu Laotai for help in the group chat.

"Sister Liu, are you there? I have something I want to ask you!"

Grandma Liu immediately responded that she was there and told Wang Yuemei to ask whatever she wanted. Lin Liuyi, sensing the gossip, immediately went to watch.

She remembered that Wang Yuemei's last incident wasn't because of her son spreading rumors. This led her daughter-in-law to think she was a terrible mother-in-law, but the truth was later revealed, and the two had reconciled.

What happened this time?

Wang Yuemei then talked about her recent worries, which turned out to be that her daughter had started dating someone.

"What's wrong with that? Men should marry when they're of age and women should marry when they're of age. Isn't it good that your daughter has a boyfriend?" Old Mrs. Liu asked, puzzled.

"Sigh, this guy's family isn't well-off," Wang Yuemei said with a worried expression.

“This is something I, your old lady, will criticize you for. How can you be so materialistic and prejudiced against the poor?”

“It’s not that I’m materialistic, it’s just that her boyfriend comes from a poor rural area. His parents work hard as farmers, and he has two younger sisters. They’re always struggling to make ends meet. But Yu An has been smart since she was little and got into a good university. Our family isn’t bad off. Her dad and I both work in the public sector, and we’ve always doted on Xiao Xiao, giving her the best education and living conditions. My daughter says this guy is alright, but I’m just worried about his family.”

Wang Yuemei looked a little worried. They had heard a lot about these "phoenix men" (men from humble backgrounds who achieve success despite poverty), so they always had to worry in advance.

After Wang Yuemei said that, Old Lady Liu began to understand.

Parents always want to think more about their children; no matter how old their children are, they are still children in their hearts.

"If he's a good person, why don't you take another look? They'll have to live their lives together eventually. If this boy is capable of taking responsibility, I don't think you need to worry too much," Grandma Liu comforted her.

After Grandma Liu's words of comfort, Wang Yuemei felt a little more at ease and decided to take another look.

Xiao Xiao was deeply in love with her boyfriend, but she never expected that her mother would start to worry.

"Yu An, you're graduating soon, where are you planning to go?"

People online say that graduation means heartbreak, and she was also a little worried about the future of their relationship.

"Xiaoxiao, I want to stay here and be with you." Yu An had finally managed to escape from the small mountain village, so why would she go back?

"Yu An, you're so great!" Xiao Xiao was overjoyed.

And so, the two lived together after graduating from university, even though Wang Yuemei and the others objected.

"Xiaoxiao, my family needs to renovate the house, so I need to give the money to my dad first. How about you pay the rent for this month?" Yu An asked tentatively.

"It's okay, Brother An, you can use it for your uncle's side first." Xiao Xiao didn't take it seriously.

Yu An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Xiao agreed so easily, and showered her with sweet words.

Next, Yu An's sisters also began to have needs.

The younger sister wanted to open a shop and asked him to borrow a large sum of money. Although he said it was a loan, Yu An knew the family's situation and had no expectation that she would pay it back.

The younger sister got into university, and the tuition and living expenses fell on Yu An's shoulders.

Xiao Xiao began to feel dissatisfied, feeling that Yu An had not considered the future of their little family, and the two had their first argument about it.

"Xiaoxiao, isn't my family building this house for us? We're going to get married eventually, and my dad is building the house so it will look good for our wedding."

"What do you mean 'for us'? It's for your family's own face! And your two younger sisters, they're so old, can't they earn their own money?"

This is what Xiao Xiao is dissatisfied with. She feels that Yu An is too focused on his family and doesn't think about their future family at all.

“Yu An, we also need to live and save money. We can’t keep subsidizing your family without any limits,” Xiao Xiao said with a helpless expression.

Yu An frowned, her tone somewhat agitated: "They are my sisters. My parents worked hard to support my education. Now that I'm able to, how can I not help them?"

The two had conflicting accounts and parted on bad terms.

When Wang Yuemei saw her daughter return home, she hurriedly asked what had happened. Only then did she learn that what they had been worried about had finally come to pass.

Wang Yuemei advised her daughter to think it over again, saying that Xiao Xiao was just being stubborn and waiting for Yu An to come and coax her.

"That's the situation right now, my daughter just won't listen to me at all," Wang Yuemei said worriedly.

Grandma Liu was speechless; they didn't have anything like that on their side.

"This is a difficult situation for you. You should try to persuade your daughter more. If she's like this now, she'll have to take care of her family after she gets married."

“That’s right!” Wang Yuemei slapped her thigh in agreement. She was afraid that the other family would leech off her daughter.

At this point, Lin Liuyi offered her a suggestion: let her daughter stay with her boyfriend's parents for a while and see how it goes.

"Isn't this inappropriate? They're not even married yet, how can they be living with their parents?" Wang Yuemei hesitated.

"Try it now while you're not married. Your daughter won't listen to what others say right now; she needs to experience it for herself."

Wang Yuemei was persuaded by Lin Liuyi and went back to tell her daughter.

Sure enough, the two reconciled not long afterward, and Xiao Xiao, following her mother's instructions, generously allowed Yu An's parents to come and live in the city.

Yu An was overjoyed and immediately brought his parents into the city.

Xiao Xiao also tidied up the guest room, preparing to welcome her future in-laws.

After her in-laws arrived, the differences in their lifestyles intensified the conflicts.

The elderly man was used to being frugal. He was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, and he didn't bother to repair the dripping faucet. He also piled up cardboard boxes and bottles he had collected at home, making the house messy.

Xiao Xiao brought it up to Yu An several times in a tactful way, hoping to get her parents to pay attention, but Yu An felt that Xiao Xiao disliked her parents and was unhappy.

That day, when Xiao Xiao got home from get off work, she saw the living room piled high with recyclables that the old man had collected. She couldn't help but get angry: "How can anyone live like this? This isn't a garbage dump!"

Upon hearing this, Yu An's mother's face instantly turned pale, and she began to wipe away her tears.

Seeing this, Yu An yelled at Xiao Xiao, "How can you be so disrespectful to the elderly? They're just trying to save us some money!"

"I don't respect them? I don't respect them, and I've put up with it for so long! I come home after a long day at work, and they don't even turn on the air conditioner, and the living room is a mess!" Xiao Xiao was furious.

"Besides, your parents said they were here to help, but they didn't even cook a meal. I cook for you every day after get off work, and you don't even care about me?" Xiao Xiao felt extremely wronged.

"My parents are just trying to do what's best for us. They're getting old and they just want to save us some money." Yu An quickly tried to smooth things over when he saw Xiao Xiao crying in distress.

He was torn between his girlfriend and his parents; he couldn't please either side, so he could only try his best to mediate.
