Chapter 384 Dismissal
Boss Shen fell silent. As a son, he knew my mother's temper very well.
Once the old lady makes a decision, basically no one can change her mind.
Mrs. Shen was also extremely anxious. She paced around the room, "What should we do? We can't let Mom really go with you. How can Mom's body withstand such a long journey?"
"No, this is absolutely not okay."
"Third sister-in-law, why don't you try to persuade mother again? She's always been very kind to you, and she should be able to listen to what you say."
Xu Manyue sighed, "Sister-in-law, if mother would listen to me, then I wouldn't have to ask you to come here."
"You are worried about Mom's health, and I am worried too."
"It's not like I haven't tried to persuade you, but it didn't work no matter how hard I tried. That's why I asked you guys to come here and think of a solution."
Boss Shen frowned and was about to say something.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Third sister-in-law, are you in there? Your second brother and I have something to talk to you about."
Xu Manyue knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice. She looked at Mr. Shen and his wife, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'll go open the door for my second brother and the others."
Boss Shen nodded and said, "Go ahead."
There is strength in numbers. The second child usually pays more attention than him, so maybe he can come up with a solution.
Soon, Xu Manyue walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door, Shen Lao Er and Lin Luoxia, who had not walked together for a long time, were walking together this time, which was rare.
Looking at the atmosphere between the two of them, it wasn't as cold as before.
This made Xu Manyue stunned for a moment. It seemed that the two of them had reconciled again.
Lin Luoxia nodded to her and went into the house first. When she saw Mr. Shen and his wife in the house, she greeted them again, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are here for mother's matter too, right?"
The eldest brother Shen looked down on his sister-in-law. He snorted coldly and ignored her. He turned to the second brother Shen and said, "Second brother, what do you think about mother wanting to go to the provincial capital with the third brother's wife?"
"You can't really let Mom go with you, right?"
When Lin Luoxia saw Boss Shen's attitude towards her, she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she walked to Xu Manyue's side and didn't say anything else.
Second Shen glanced at her, then looked away and spoke to First Shen.
"Brother, although Mom's health seems fine now and there's nothing serious wrong with her, my third sister-in-law is going to the provincial capital. It's not just a few months away, but for three years."
"Three years is too long. Who knows what might happen. If something really happens to Mom, I'm afraid none of us brothers will be able to rush over in time."
"So we absolutely cannot agree to this."
Shen Lao Er paused and looked at Xu Manyue with a hot look, "As for how to persuade them, I think this matter should be decided by the third brother's wife and the third brother."
Xu Manyue was a little surprised, "Second brother, what do you mean?"
Boss Shen and Mrs. Shen were also stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Manyue.
"Second brother, please explain more clearly. What do you mean by looking at the third brother's wife and the third brother?"
The third brother is thousands of miles away, how can he persuade him?
Besides, will the old lady listen to the third brother?
Xu Manyue gradually realized what Shen Laoer meant. She tentatively asked, "Second brother, do you want me to write a letter to Jingming and ask him to write another letter back to persuade mother?"
In fact, everyone in the family could guess that the old lady had always felt guilty towards Shen Jingming.
He wouldn't want to take advantage of this, would he?
Shen Lao Er nodded and said, "Third sister-in-law, you still have more than a month before you go to the provincial capital. It's not too late to write to the third brother. Right now, the only one in this family who can possibly persuade mother is the third brother."
"This matter cannot be delayed. You should write a letter to the third brother now. I will go to the post office in town to mail it out after you finish writing."
Boss Shen thought for a moment and really thought this was a good idea. He quickly said, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, go write a letter to the Third Brother."
"The third brother will definitely be able to persuade mother."
In the whole family, the old lady only feels guilty towards the third daughter, apart from her deceased eldest daughter.
Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up. "This is indeed a good idea, Third Sister-in-law, please write the letter quickly."
Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but it may not work."
"You know my mother's temper. What if this method doesn't work? So we'd better make preparations for both scenarios."
She was really afraid that the old lady would insist on going with her and something would happen.
After these words were spoken, Boss Shen and Second Boss Shen looked at each other and fell silent.
Finally, the brothers reached an agreement.
"Third sister-in-law, please write a letter to the third brother first. As for how things will turn out in the end, we can figure out a solution when the time comes. If it really doesn't work out, then we can only follow mother's ideas."
"If something really happens, we can only leave it to fate."
Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write it right away."
Since the entire Shen family agreed to this approach, she couldn't say anything more.
After all, the old lady wanted to go with them so that she could take care of the children for her and Shen Jingming.
Soon, Xu Manyue sat down at the desk and picked up a pen.
It didn't take long for her to finish writing the letter. She handed it to Shen Lao Er, "Second brother, please go to the post office in town and post this letter as soon as possible."
Although there is still more than a month before school starts, she still needs to rent a house and find a nanny, so she must go there early.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If it is not resolved, she will not be able to leave early.
Shen Lao Er took the letter, glanced down at it, and nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
The old lady didn't know about the letter. She had already started preparing to go to the provincial capital.
Although she said that her son and daughter-in-law were in their forties and didn't need her to worry about them, she still couldn't let go and couldn't sleep well at night.
She always dreamed that after she left, the eldest couple and the second couple had a falling out, and the fight was life-and-death.
This made the old lady unable to sleep all night long. During the day, she had to figure out what things to pack and take with her. She looked even worse.
Xu Manyue saw it all and became more determined. It would be better not to let the old lady go to such a far place.
It's already like this before I even go. If I go, there's a high probability that something big will happen.
Mrs. Shen also noticed the old lady's abnormality and came to tell Xu Manyue privately, "Third sister-in-law, Mom seems to be a little bit off lately. Not only is she mentally unstable, but she also pulls me over to talk to her every day."
"Your eldest brother and the second brother are brothers. Brothers are still connected even if their bones are broken. If there are any conflicts between the two families in the future, don't make a scene and let outsiders laugh at you. If you have something to say, talk it out properly. Sit down together and talk it out clearly. Don't make a scene that makes everyone unhappy."
"Mom also said that she would write to us every month to ask about the situation at home. If anything happened at home, she would definitely not forgive the troublemaker when she came back."
