I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 229 A man’s success is the smile of his family.

Xu Musen planned to give his parents a surprise today and had not contacted them yet.

Xu Musen drove directly to his mother's flower shop.

The financial pressure at home is not that great now. It is getting late and my mother is getting ready to pack up for get off work.

Xu's mother sorted out the unsold flowers. Some of the flowers had a short shelf life, and if they were not sold in one day, they could only be sold at a low price to some public facilities to save money.

"Alas, in the past, these flowers would have been picked up by that brat and given to Mingyue."

Mother Xu looked at these still fresh flowers and sighed for no reason.

Before, Xu Musen would always secretly take flowers from home and give them to Yao Mingyue, and this bad boy always thought he could do it without anyone noticing.

In fact, it was all tacitly approved by Xu's mother. Many times, she would even deliberately match some flowers together to make the flowers sent by Xu Musen look more beautiful.

In the past, they also hoped that the two children could be together.

Thinking of the past, Xu's mother couldn't help but smile, but it turned into a sigh.

"This brat, I don't know what kind of girlfriend he found. What about Mingyue..."

She muttered to herself that she actually regarded Yao Mingyue, the little girl she had watched grow up, as the most suitable daughter-in-law.

However, as parents, we fundamentally hope that our children can live a better life. If there is a more suitable one, we will certainly not hinder them.

All I can say is that it depends on their own fate.

"Boss, are you still doing business?"

At this time, a person walked in from the door. He was wearing a down jacket, a hat and sunglasses. He was wrapped up like the bandaged monster in the snowy castle murder case in Detective Conan. His face could not be seen.

The voice is also a bit strange, and inexplicably familiar.

Mother Xu looked back and was a little startled, but she still replied: "What do you need?"

The visitor looked at the flowers in the room and pointed at the carnations on the counter nearby.

"Let's do this."

"Carnations are very suitable for giving to elders."

"Yes, I gave it to my mother."

The weirdo wrapped up tightly was, of course, Xu Musen. He looked at his mother through his sunglasses, holding back his laughter and speaking in a pinched voice.
Xu's mother felt a little strange looking at the person in front of her, but how could someone who could be so filial to his mother be a bad person?

She smiled and said, "Okay, how much do you think you need?"

"Can I sell one?"

"One?"

Xu's mother was stunned for a moment. This flower could not be packaged, otherwise there would not even be enough money to pay for the packaging.

"Just one. I don't have much money but I don't want to give my mom something too shabby."

Xu Musen lowered his voice, looking a little embarrassed.

Mother Xu paused for a moment after hearing this, but smiled softly: "No problem, I'll help you wrap it."

"In fact, parents don't care whether they give one flower or a bouquet of flowers.
I am already very happy just to have this heart.”

Mother Xu spoke as she carefully wrapped the flowers.

Xu Musen sat down and listened to his mother's comforting tone. He sighed: "Alas, I have been away from home for more than half a year, but I still haven't accomplished anything. I'm afraid my parents will be unhappy."

"How could that be? The only people in this world who will do good for you wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return are your parents. No matter what, your children are still your dearest ones."

Xu's mother's words comfortingly reminded her of Xu Musen.

When his family was not well off in the past, Xu Musen also doubted himself and almost became autistic.

"Actually, my family introduced me to a very rich girl, but she wants me to marry into her family. Boss, do you think I should accept it?"

The topic suddenly changed.

Xu's mother was stunned for a moment, but to be honest, marrying into the wife's family was not that uncommon in this era.

Many local people in Zhengcheng have only daughters in their families. They own several houses and have good living conditions. When they are looking for a son-in-law, the conditions they put forward are actually similar to those for marrying into the wife's family.

"Well... actually, it depends on the choice of both parties, but marrying a good wife can indeed save you ten years of hard work, or even a lifetime."

Xu's mother subconsciously thought of that bad boy Xu Musen.

In fact, when the family was in the most difficult time, they had thought about the possibility that if the company collapsed completely or Xu Musen's father became disabled, they would take on all the debts.

Let Xu Musen go to Yao Mingyue's home, even if he becomes her son-in-law in the future.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, not to mention that they are childhood sweethearts and are in love with each other. It doesn't matter whether he marries into the wife's family or not, it is worse than living a miserable life of going hungry three times a day.

People, once they are past their youthful vigor, will realize that they cannot sacrifice money for the sake of dignity.

"In fact, there are no parents in this world who really want their sons to marry into another girl's family. It's because they have no other choice. Living is better than starving to death. And it doesn't necessarily mean that they will have a bad life if they marry into another girl's family. Sometimes adults consider things in a more realistic way. We should understand each other. Who doesn't want the best for their children..."

Mother Xu sighed and spoke, and as she did so, she had already expressed all her inner thoughts, and her tone was sad and somewhat helpless.

Yes, although Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue are childhood sweethearts and have a lot in common, Yao Mingyue does have a bit of an arrogant temper.

Normally little boys would suffer some bullying if they followed her.

If the two families had always had equal conditions, Xu Musen would have had the confidence to slowly work things out with her, but given the situation over the years, there would definitely be some inequality between the two of them.

But they had no choice. After all, from their point of view, Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue were together and no longer had to worry about their lives. Even if they suffered some grievances, it was no big deal.

How many people want this kind of grievance but cannot get it.

Xu Musen kept looking at his mother's expression.

Although he did not tell his parents about his relationship with Yao Mingyue in his previous life, he did mention the depression he felt several times in a tactful way.

But every time my parents always say, "Don't be ungrateful for what you have." "Even if you go out to work, don't you still be bullied by your boss?" "There's nothing that a young couple can't get over. Fighting at the head of the bed and making peace at the foot of the bed..."

Xu Musen once suspected that his parents were attracted by the money of Yao Mingyue's family.

But later I gradually understood that this is the helplessness of adults. Those who pursue spiritual freedom and don't want to be puppets are often those who are well fed.

But most people can’t even solve the problem of food and clothing, let alone being puppets, they can only work like beasts of burden.

Xu Musen looked at his mother's eyebrows and eyes, which now had many wrinkles on them. She was a few years older than Liu Rushuang, but looked much different.

As I said, there is only one kind of people in this world who will treat you well without asking for anything in return, and that is your parents.

"Your flowers are ready."

At this time, Xu's mother gave him the wrapped flower. Although it was only one flower, it was very delicately wrapped.

"Thank you...how much?"

Xu Musen reached out and took it.

"I don't want money anymore. I'm closing the shop anyway. Go back and spend some time with your family. There's nothing you can't talk about. I also have a son who's about your age. He should be home soon. He was muddle-headed for a while, but he's doing fine now. I believe you'll be doing better and better in the future, just like my son."

Mother Xu spoke with a smile, looking at the tightly wrapped boy in front of her. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, he looked about the same age as her son.

When she mentioned Xu Musen, her words were full of relief and pride.

It’s not about how much money Xu Musen can earn now, but that the current Xu Musen is confident, cheerful, has ideas, and is capable, and he will definitely live a better life in the future.

Xu Musen looked at his mother and felt warm in his heart. He reached out and took the flowers.

"Thank you. Then...can you give me some more money?"

"???"

The warm smile on Xu's mother's face suddenly froze.

No? Why is it that you are not only taking flowers for free, but you are also asking for money?

How come this shameless behavior of eating and taking things is so similar to that of his unfortunate son?

"What do you want money for?"

Xu's mother didn't react for a moment.

Xu Musen no longer pretended at this moment and just laughed out loud.

"I want money, of course, to help you find a daughter-in-law."

Xu's mother was stunned for a moment. This voice... wasn't right... This unlucky child seemed to be her son!

She reached out and took off the sunglasses of the person in front of her, and immediately, a pair of smiling eyes were revealed.

"Oh! It's you, you son of a bitch!"

The moment Xu's mother saw clearly, the expression on her face suddenly changed to joy. She cursed under her breath, but her tone was full of surprise.

"Mom, from a genetic point of view, it's not good for you to scold me like that."

Xu Musen also laughed.

"You still say that! You didn't even tell me you came back today, and you even come to tease your mother!"

Xu's mother hit her son twice. She hadn't seen him for a month or two and she missed him very much.

"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Xu Musen said with a smile, and handed the wrapped carnations in his hand to his mother again: "Mom, flowers for you!"

Mother Xu looked at the flowers. Although she ran a flower shop, she didn't receive flowers very often. At this moment, she was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.

But he still said, "How can you send flowers like this? You took off your pants and farted. It's not enough to waste my money."

Although Xu's mother said this, she was still very happy when she took the flowers.

Just like she said, giving a flower to mother, no matter if it's just one or just picked ones, will make her very happy.

"By the way, how did you get back? Where's Mingyue?"

After being happy, the first thing Xu's mother mentioned was Yao Mingyue.

"Mom, I think she is the one you kissed."

"Go away, Mingyue is a girl, she should pay more attention to safety."

As soon as Xu's mother finished speaking, someone hugged her from behind.

"Auntie! Are you happy to see us?"

Yao Mingyue came up from behind her and greeted her happily.

Mother Xu looked at the lively Yao Mingyue with eyes full of love, and nodded repeatedly: "Of course I'm happy, the little girl is really good at giving people surprises."

"Mom, you are too hypocritical. I am just not sincere, and she is just surprised?"

Xu Musen spoke indignantly from the side.

Yao Mingyue snorted complacently, and Xu's mother simply ignored her own son.

"Come on, I'll make you a big meal today."

Mother Xu happily closed the shop door and prepared to ride her Yadi electric bike.

"You two go home and wait. I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and come back later."

But Xu Musen smiled and said, "Mom, I'll drive you there."

Xu's mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "My Yadi electric car can't carry you two right now."

"Yadi can't carry it, but Audi should be able to."

Xu Musen smiled and took out his car keys from his pocket and shook them.

Just on the roadside in front of the store, the brand new Audi A6 made a beeping sound and automatically opened the car locks.

The key to the Yadi electric vehicle in Xu's mother's hand almost fell down, and her eyes widened immediately.

Looking at the brand new A6 in front of me, this car must cost at least four or five hundred thousand.

Not to mention ordinary families, even if a family has some money, they have to grit their teeth if they want to buy it.

Looking at his mother's surprised expression, Xu Musen would be lying if he said he was proud.

The sense of accomplishment in a man's heart is actually the envy of others, the satisfaction in his parents' eyes, the hero in his children's eyes, and the awesomeness in his wife's mouth...

Making money for what?
Isn’t it just about letting your family enjoy the happiness with you?

There’s no point in showing off to outsiders, it’s just fun to let your parents show off with you!
"This car..."

Mother Xu was stunned for a while, but her eyes passed by the smug Xu Musen and looked at Yao Mingyue: "Mingyue, did your family buy a new car again?"

Xu Musen:......

Yao Mingyue was distracted for a moment, looking at Xu Musen's dull expression.

Haha, there are times when you can’t pretend!

She suppressed her laughter in her heart: "Auntie, this is not mine, it belongs to Mu Sen."

Only then did Xu's mother look at her son.

Xu Musen straightened his back again, thinking to himself, isn't this bringing honor to his family?
Waiting for the show!

"Son, whose car are you renting?"

"???"

Xu Musen almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Mom, I'm not renting it."

"If you didn't rent it, where did you get so much money? Don't follow those people who rent luxury cars to go home during the Chinese New Year. We don't need to pretend to be rich. You just learned how to drive. If you bump into something, you will have to pay a lot of money."

“I really bought this myself.”

"How many years did you pay for the installment plan?"

"Take the full amount!"

"Just you? Robbed a bank?"

Xu's mother still found it hard to believe. Although she knew that her son could earn money now, this car would cost at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.

He has only been in school for a short time, how could he afford such a nice car? He basically drove away with half of the house.

"Mom, don't you have this much confidence in your son?"

But Xu Musen was very depressed. Why was this different from what he had imagined?
Yao Mingyue couldn't help laughing. She was happy to see Xu Musen being humiliated.

Let him show off his usual 2.58 million!
"Son, did you really buy this car?"

In fact, looking at the expressions of her son and Yao Mingyue, Xu's mother had already more or less believed in her heart that the car was really bought by her son.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the car purchase contract when I get back."

Xu Musen said this with a helpless smile.

Only then did Xu's mother come to the brand new Audi. She reached out and touched the window, but wiped it off because she was afraid of leaving fingerprints.

He turned around and looked at his Yadi electric car.

Yadi, Audi.

One is life, the other is also life.

But the difference of one word leads to two completely different lives.

Xu's mother didn't have too much obsession with the car, but she also knew what the car represented to her son.

What does it mean to my family which has experienced so many ups and downs?

The spine that had been bent for many years can now finally straighten up again.

She looked at the car in front of her, her eyes ached and she couldn't help but shed tears. She looked at the car but couldn't stop wiping away tears.

"Mom, you should be happy."

Xu Musen walked over and spoke softly.

In fact, looking at his mother's actions, he was filled with emotion. Isn't it for this moment that men earn money?

"Of course I'm happy... I just feel a little sorry for you. I made you suffer in the past, and now I'm old and can't help you..."

Xu's mother wiped away her tears. The better her son was doing now, the more she felt that they had not taken good care of him in the past.

And when their children succeed, they are unable to help.

They are old after all.

"Mom, you and Dad have given me your best. It's just that I grew up too late. Things will get better and better in the future."

"Yes, Auntie, we will all get better and better in the future."

Yao Mingyue also gently hugged Xu's mother's arm and took out a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

As she watched this scene, her heart changed slightly.

For Xu Musen's family, making money and changing their current lives is the greatest happiness.

As for Yao Mingyue...

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu's mother, perhaps, that was the moment when she really got her own happiness.

Then mom will be even happier than she is now.

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen again.

Fight for your own happiness...

"Mom, get in the car. I've bought all the food. I'll cook today and I'll invite you and dad to taste my cooking."

Xu Musen came to the front of the car, opened the door, and spoke with a smile.

"Queen Mother, Princess, please get in the car!"

Both Xu's mother and Yao Mingyue couldn't help laughing.

The car started and drove towards the familiar home, but a new life was about to begin.
