Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1683

It was also a coincidence that when the old lady was looking for someone to marry, a newly retired middle school teacher in this suburban town, who had been widowed for many years, also wanted to look for a partner as his children had already started their own family. The two of them hit it off with each other at once. The old lady then brought her grandson along with her and married Neo Dixon.

However, she only found out that it was not as easy as imagined after she had been married to him. Once they were married, Neo made a few rules for her to follow. "I can give you the money to buy formula powder for your grandson every month, but that is all. This was also because I pitied you, but you can't push your luck. Once your son is released, your grandson has to be sent away."

The old lady already had no place to return to at that time, so it was already not bad to have a roof over her head. She then nodded in agreement to whatever Neo said. She said cautiously, "Thank you. Thank you for giving my grandson and myself a place to stay."

"You have to know that you're very honored for an illiterate woman like you to be able to marry an intellectual like me. This is your house from now on. You have to take more and better care of it!" ordered Neo.

The old lady immediately nodded. "I am best at taking care of the house. I’ll certainly make sure you're satisfied."

With such a brief exchange, the two then went and got their marriage certificate the next day. They were then considered officially married. After they got married, she was responsible for all household chores and taking care of everything in the old man’s life.

The old lady was only forty-five years old at that time, so she was still capable in a certain aspect. Therefore, from time to time, the two people would still have sex several times a month.

At first, the old man was not very satisfied with her, and he did not like the food she cooked. After about two years of training by the old man, the food that the old lady cooked met the old man's taste. The old man was then very nourished. However, he only gave a maximum of three hundred dollars for the old lady to buy formula powder for her grandson every month. Never mind buying clothes or diapers, the old lady could not even take out a single penny to spend on groceries and other expenditures on a usual basis.

That was because the old man had kept a close watch on this aspect. Even purchasing a single packet of salt needed to be recorded. From time to time when the children return home, they would also take turns to check on the old lady's accounts. The old lady felt upset and disrespected by the children, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she needed to raise her grandson.

The clothes that her grandson wore growing up were all picked up from the neighbors. When she asked the old man for money to send her grandson to kindergarten, the old man would refused to give her. With resignation, the old lady could only do some odd jobs outside while maintaining all the household chores every day. She would also pick up the empty bottles on the roadside when she saw them sometimes. It was fortunate that the tuition fee for the public kindergarten was not much. It was only a few hundred dollars a year, so the old lady managed to save enough quickly.

As she was working some odd jobs outside, she could save a few hundred dollars from time to time, so she felt secure. She did not think about other things, she only thought about raising her grandson. Therefore, all the money that she had saved up was to pay for her grandson's tuition fee.

Ten years had gone by just like that. The old man got older, his health was not as good as before anymore, s o he needed the old lady to put in all her effort in taking care of him. That meant that the old lady could not do the odd job outside anymore. The old man then lashed out at the old lady. "I am your husband! Your husband! All that you have eaten and drank were mine, and you have stayed in my house for ten years, even your grandson also stayed here. How dare you not take care of me? Do you even have a conscience?"

The old lady then said helplessly, "I didn't say that I'm not taking care of you. My grandson has to go to school, so I have to work three hours a day. It would not interfere with taking care of you."

"Two options. You either come back or get lost!" The old man kicked the old lady.

Hence, the old lady had no choice but to leave her job. However, what she didn't expect was that when her grandson's school term was about to start and needed tuition money, the old man actually refused to give her a single penny. He even cursed at her. "I have no obligation to raise your grandson!"
