My son will graduate tomorrow, and Zhou Yang and I promised to attend.
"Dad, I told Ma Xiaoming that my dad is handsome, and he said I was lying. Tomorrow you and mom will come to watch me perform and see what he says then."
Son Lu Yuhang sat in Lu Yang's arms, speaking cheerfully.
But the smile on Zhou Yang's face disappeared, looking hesitant.
"What's wrong?" I asked her after coaxing our son to sleep.
"My sister asked me to attend a parent-teacher conference for Didi tomorrow. You know, Didi doesn't have a dad and is sensitive, easily bullied by other kids. I need to support her," she explained.
Didi is Lu Yang's niece, her sister's daughter.
"Can't someone else help her? She has friends, doesn't she? Does it have to be you?" I couldn't contain my anger.
Zhou Yang sighed helplessly, rubbing her temples.
"Isn't everyone busy? And it's not easy to find someone as suitable as me in the short term. As her uncle, I should go, shouldn't I?"
"You know you're her uncle, but you also have a son. How many parent-teacher conferences has Lu Yuhang attended? Do you know his classmates gossip about him not having a dad? It's hard to find time, and you already promised him. Are you going to break that promise?"
Furrowing his brow, Zhou Yang's voice revealed impatience, "What do you mean? Don't make it seem like I don't love my son. I really had no choice. Isn't Didi already pitiful for not having a dad? Can't you understand my position?"
I scowled, feeling that further discussion was useless, and prepared to leave.
But Zhou Yang grabbed me and softened his tone, "Jinjin, I didn't mean to take it out on you. You know, my sister has it tough by herself. Since she asked me, I couldn't refuse."
Feeling exhausted, I said, "Your sister, your sister. When will this kind of life end?"
Zhou Yang said, "I promise, when my sister stabilizes emotionally and Didi grows older, there won't be this kind of issue anymore."
He spoke confidently, but if Li Moli really approached him, could he refuse?
I was helpless in this situation, only able to pray that life would slowly improve.
