Chapter 225 This old lady deserved it
After Lan Xu explained this, everyone understood why he wasn't giving his mother much money anymore.
It turns out that all the money used to go to my mother was being used as the family's money.
Zhang Guihua was so embarrassed by the rebuke that her face turned red. Someone next to her advised, "That's enough. It's not wrong to love your grandson, but there has to be a limit."
"Yes, you used to favor your younger son, and now you favor your older son, but you can't be too biased, or you'll hurt the children's feelings."
"Do you think I want to be biased?" Zhang Guihua accused her son and daughter-in-law. "If you listen to me and have a grandson, how could I not treat you well?"
It all comes down to that grandson with roots.
Zhou Jing said, "How can you blame us? The one-child policy is what the government says, not me. If you're so capable, go and complain to the government. If the higher-ups allowed me to have another child, I definitely would."
Okay, the conflict has now shifted directly to the organization.
"That's right, which family doesn't want to have another child? It's just that there are too many people, so the government proposed family planning. Auntie, your awareness is not good."
"I never said you had to have two. Why didn't you get an abortion when I told you to?"
"How can I give birth? The baby was already six or seven months along when the X-ray came out. The doctor said it could kill someone. If I'm born, will you pay with your life?"
Zhang Guihua: "..."
"Besides, if every family aborts a girl, where will your grandson find a wife in the future? You only care about your son carrying on the family line, but can he have children on his own? He'll have to marry someone else's daughter to have children."
"That's not something you can worry about."
"Why don't you make me worry? Don't you worry about your wife? You'll kick the bucket and be gone, and you won't worry about your grandson getting married. Back then, if I didn't worry about my son getting married, who would? Girls were almost beaten to death. Maybe many families went bankrupt and still couldn't get a wife."
It has to be said that her mother-in-law's sarcastic remarks were correct.
That's how it will be in the future; many families will have to go bankrupt just to get a wife.
After all that's been said, everyone now understands his family's situation.
Lan Xu stated directly that they were determined to buy the house.
They will not get divorced.
Given his circumstances, what's the difference between marrying him and living as a widow?
Only his first love, whom he had been with for many years, was willing to stay by his side and endure this hardship; anyone else might have run away long ago.
His mother made a scene to no avail, and was even given a lecture by a passerby. In the end, she cursed a few times and slunk away.
After the onlookers dispersed, Lin Yuyao took out a broom and swept the floor.
I spat out sunflower seed shells all over the room.
Zhou Jing looked dejected again and sighed, "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh."
"It's alright, everyone has their share of troubles, as long as they can be resolved."
"Yuyao, you leave it there, I'll sweep it."
"It's alright, Sister Zhou, you sit down and rest for a while, I'll finish sweeping soon."
Liu Yihuan poured water for the family, and seeing that the couple seemed about to talk, she coaxed Lan Tingting to follow her to look at the picture book.
Seeing Lin Yuyao and Liu Yihuan busy with their own things, Lan Xu said, "Wife, you've suffered because of me."
Suffer?
Of course, it was painful.
She had no idea how many times she had secretly cried.
It's impossible not to resent him, but I also know that resentment is useless.
Like himself, he couldn't control whether he had a boy or a girl.
Just like herself, she couldn't control her biased mother.
What's the point of blaming him?
You're just making yourself angry for no reason.
“Let’s settle on a house as soon as possible, and try to move before you leave. The back gate of the complex is right next to the school, which will be convenient for me to pick up and drop off Tingting. When she’s a little older, I’ll let her go to school by herself, and then things will be much easier.”
"it is good."
……
Zhou Jing's mother-in-law made a scene, and today's day went by exceptionally fast.
Zhou Jing's husband brought the child home, and it was time for dinner again.
After the meal, two elderly women brought their grandsons to buy school supplies and asked Zhou Jing about what happened that morning.
Ask her if her mother-in-law would continue to make things difficult for them, or if she would make things difficult for her and her daughter after her husband left?
Zhou Jing gave a wry smile and said indifferently, "Let her be. I don't eat her food or drink her water. After we move, the two houses will be several miles apart. I'm afraid we won't see each other more than a few times a year. I don't care if she makes things difficult for me."
"Hey, that's right. Don't take it to heart, there are still a lot of people who prefer sons to daughters these days."
"Hmm, I don't care."
After dealing with several of the busiest customers, they looked helpless.
Lin Yuyao said, "Your mother-in-law's arrival has caused such a commotion; it's going to be lively for several days."
"Whatever. If anyone asks me, I'll just say it. It's not me who's embarrassed, and it even brings us customers. You girls come over and ask a few questions, so you don't leave empty-handed."
Who would be willing to bring in customers in this way?
That's what she said to justify herself.
Lin Yuyao didn't work overtime today and left work early.
She was about to go to the market to buy groceries and cook when she suddenly remembered that she and Fu Huaiyi had exchanged keys last night, saying they had been switching rooms and beds recently.
So, should we have the meal cooked at his house?
It seems like he doesn't need to cook at all; he only cooked once, and everything was bought fresh.
It's been so long, I don't even know if there's still any gas left.
Let's buy it first; he should be back soon.
If they can't cook at his place, then go back to your own home and cook.
Strangely, Fu Huaiyi, who should have already left work, did not return today.
Lin Yuyao didn't pay much attention, thinking that there might have been a sudden mission that delayed her.
Fortunately, his family could cook, so she simply stir-fried a dish and made a soup at his house.
But even after they had finished eating and she had washed the dishes, he still hadn't come back.
Lin Yuyao didn't think much of it, assuming that work must have been the reason for the delay.
I grabbed a book and snuggled into bed.
Not long after, a commotion broke out outside the door.
It sounds like the family across the street.
Lin Yuyao got up, put on her clothes, and walked quietly to the door, pressing her ear to the crack to eavesdrop.
"Still want to waste time? They can afford to waste time, but how can we? You think you can just say we should waste time with them? Do you know how much money our whole family will have to spend here?"
He thought to himself that if it weren't for his mother being a Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and prosperity), and having actually saved up a lot of money, his family would have been begging for food long ago.
"So what? Are we just going to watch Mother go to jail and do nothing about it?" Pan Yi couldn't swallow his anger and refused to leave.
"Pan Xiaohua, that's our mother! How can you say you won't save her? Don't you have any conscience?"
"Conscience? Humph, you think you have a conscience? How could you do something like switching someone else's child? If it weren't for your cunning, our family wouldn't be in this mess. We're so shameful. I don't know how we'll tell our neighbors when we get back."
