She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s

"Granny Qiu."

Du Ruo looked at Granny Qiu and just pulled her suitcase over.

"Come, have some water."

"Thank you."

After Du Ruo drank the water, Granny Qiu started talking about her family's situation.

"Your parents have separated from your eldest sister-in-law's family."

What?

Separated?

When did this happen?

Why didn't the family write to tell her?

"When did this happen?"

Granny Qiu understood why she was so shocked.

The customs here were that the eldest takes care of the elderly, and the other children, after getting married, would be separated out.

But now her parents had surprisingly separated from her sister-in-law's family.

"Not long after you left to study, our two families were close by, and I heard your sister-in-law say not to rely on them for old age care anymore."

Granny Qiu had been through it; her husband had passed on, and now she lived with her eldest son, her great-grandchildren went to school, and she was alone at home.

"Where have you been assigned to work?"

Where to work?

"I plan to continue my master's studies."

Continue studying?

Didn't she already graduate from university?

Why still continue studying?

Granny Qiu didn't understand this.

"Do your parents know?"

If Ruoruo's sister-in-law knew, she would definitely make a fuss.

Originally, when Ruoruo got into such a good university, the family should have supported her, but her sister-in-law was unwilling.

Her son had even mentioned that getting into the Capital City meant she would be exceptional in the future; not to say they had to support her, but at least treat her well.

That was a prestigious university.

He even said Ruoruo's sister-in-law was short-sighted.

Only seeing immediate benefits, not future ones.

Having a college graduate aunt, helping the younger ones in the family, tutoring them, wasn't that beneficial?

"I don't know, but my partner supports me."

Partner?

"You have a partner now?"

Du Ruo nodded, "Yeah, she's a local in the Capital City, works as a deputy director at a clothing factory."

Granny Qiu gasped.

Deputy director, wow.

Her son was also a leader, but couldn't compare to the big leaders in a factory.

"How many brothers in her family?"

"Just a younger sister below."

A younger sister?

Meaning if Ruoruo married into the family, everything would be for the two of them.

That's quite a good family.

"Has he been married before?"

"No."

Granny Qiu was even more shocked.

First marriage, only son of the family, and a deputy director.

It's undeniable, the conditions are good.

"How does he look?"

Du Ruo thought for a moment, "Other than being short, seems like there are no other flaws."

Short?

How short?

"About one seventy-three."

Is that considered short?

That's not really short, right?

"In the Capital City, that's considered short."

Ah?

Granny Qiu didn't ask more about this and instead briefly talked about how her sister-in-law made a fuss at home after the separation.

"Now your parents haven't retired yet, but they'll have retirement pensions for living; it's just that they're getting older. What if your sister-in-law really doesn't take care of your parents in their old age?"

"My second brother and I can take care of my parents."

Will Ruoruo's in-law side be okay with her taking care of her own parents?

Mrs. Du and Mr. Du returned from work, ready to open the door, Mrs. Du saw Du Ruo, froze for a moment and spoke, "Ruoruo....."

"Ruoruo is back, have a good chat with her."

"Thank you, Aunt Qiu."

The family of three entered the house.

"Did you come back alone?"

The couple thought of what Fang Chaoyang had said earlier, that after Ruoruo graduated, she would get married.

Now she had graduated and came back alone.

Did she and Xiao Fang break up?

They didn't dare to ask about this before.

They didn't even know if it was true.
