Chapter 110: I can't let go of it

"Of course we can't give up," Zhou Yiran said. "Not only can we not give up, we have to fight for it, if you want to fight for it together. Besides, you don't even have to fight for it. The crew chose you, they specifically asked you to play the role. What does this have to do with He Jingxian? I didn't expect her to come up to me and ask me those questions. Maybe she thought I didn't know you were filming. Even if you didn't tell me about your situation, it must be because you were too busy."

Zhou Yiran couldn't say that Jiang Moli didn't tell her, so it was Jiang Moli's fault.

Please, Zhou Yaran and Jiang Moli are good friends, but they work in different units, not the same one. Sometimes they don't see each other for several days, or even once or twice a month.

The phone bills are too expensive, and it is impossible for two people to talk on the phone all the time.

Zhou Yaran never felt that Jiang Moli had to tell her everything, and Jiang Moli didn't feel that Zhou Yaran had to tell her everything either. Good friends didn't need to talk so much; no matter what happened, they would always stand by their friends and understand their actions.

"He Jingxian is a strange person," Zhou Yiran said. "Does she want me to question you on her behalf? That's hilarious!"

Zhou Yiran thought that her relationship with He Jingxian was not that good, so why should she talk to Jiang Moli for He Jingxian.

"She's been filming a TV series for a while now, so she's probably gotten carried away," Zhou Yiran said. "You're not, but she is."

"This role was assigned by the crew," Jiang Moli said. "If there's a suitable role, I'll take it. For now, I probably won't go to the crew to fight for the role myself. Of course, that's not certain. If something really happens, I might still go to the crew to fight for it."

"You're so famous now, why do you need to fight for it yourself?" Zhou Yiran said, "You're not playing the lead role in a TV series. You can easily handle those supporting roles. If they don't use you, it's their loss. Your price is not expensive, so they will definitely consider using you. You have good acting skills and are dedicated to your work. How great. If it were me, I would choose you."

"Wait for the opportunity." Jiang Moli said, "If He Jingxian comes to you again, don't pay attention to her. I don't need her to arrange my affairs, and I won't listen to her. I can't avoid her for her. If she says those things to you again, just say that she and I each rely on our own abilities."

"She can't win against you," Zhou Yiran said. "With her mentality, how can she compete with you? She doesn't even know her own weight, and yet she has the nerve to come to me and talk about you. If she had any dignity, she shouldn't come to me and say these things."

"She...we can't control her. She wants to come to you, and we can't stop her." Jiang Moli said, "She doesn't come to me often, maybe because we don't work in the same unit."

"You're too dazzling," Zhou Yiran said. "She didn't come to you, so she came to me. Maybe she thinks she can compare to me. There's such a big gap between you and me, and she's waiting for the day when we fall out."

Zhou Yiran thought He Jingxian was stupid and vicious. "With a good friend like you, of course I have to be good friends with you forever. There's no way I can let go. Holding on tightly to your thighs will always benefit me. If you become rich, don't forget me!"

Jiang Moli chuckled, "You too, if you become rich, don't forget me!"

"Of course, of course." Zhou Yiran said.

He Jingxian gave some money to the children, and that money came through Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi helped He Jingxian connect with other people, and when He Jingxian got a role, she had to give money to the children. The money went to Qi Shixin, who took care of the three children. It wasn't a lot, but at least it was something, and Qi Shixin felt less stressed.

After He Jingxian and Qi Shixin divorced, the children didn't think about He Jingxian. They only thought about how badly He Jingxian had treated them before. If He Jingxian wasn't around, they wouldn't have to worry about being scared. It's a lie to say that the three children don't want a mother. Now that their biological mother is gone, they don't want a stranger.

Qi Shixin still hasn't found a partner, but his mother still wants him to find one.

Look, Qi's mother found Qi Shixin again. She looked at her granddaughter playing next to her, and then looked at Qi Shixin.

"If you like opera singers, ask your second aunt to introduce one to you," said Qi's mother.

"I don't like singing opera." Qi Shixin said, "Mom, I told you, I don't plan to find a partner for the time being. I'll raise my three children first."

"When the children grow up, it will be difficult for you to remarry." Qi's mother said, "It's better for you to remarry now."

"I'm not thinking about that right now." Qi Shixin said, "Even if those people come to me and you arrange for me to meet them, I'll still say the same thing. Mom, I really don't plan to find a partner. If I really want to find a partner, you don't even need to tell me, I'll find one myself. He Jingxian is right, it was us who wanted her to have children, and she gave birth to three children in a row. He Jingxian doesn't care about these three children, but I can't."

If He Jingxian didn't need Aunt Qi's resources, she would never have given money to her three children.

Qi Shixin didn't care whether He Jingxian was willing to pay child support or not. He had to take good care of the child himself and couldn't expect others to pay more money.

"Mom, don't you want to help take care of the three children?" Qi Shixin asked.

"That's not true." Mother Qi said quickly, "They are my granddaughters, how could I not care about them?"

"Having you here is enough," Qi Shixin said, "I don't need to find another partner."

"Okay, since you said you don't want to find a partner, then don't look for one," Qi's mother said. "We can't force you to find a partner."

Qi's mother hoped that Qi Shixin would find a partner who could help take care of the children and make life easier for him. Qi Shixin was unwilling to do so, and it was useless for Qi's mother to find someone to help him.

When He Jingxian learned that Qi Shixin was unwilling to go out on blind dates and remarry, she wondered if he still loved her. After thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible. Perhaps Qi Shixin didn't go on blind dates because of her, but because he had three children to take care of and was afraid of being rejected, so he didn't think about looking for a partner.

He Jingxian felt that she was right to leave her three children to Qi Shixin. She had worked hard to give birth to three children for Qi Shixin, so Qi Shixin should take better care of the children and should not think about finding another woman. He Jingxian said that Qi Shixin could find another woman to give birth to a son, but she did not want Qi Shixin to find a partner at all.

He Jingxian often went to the film and television city. She couldn't always rely on Aunt Qi San, so she had to rely on herself. He Jingxian met some people there. She was not as stupid as before. She didn't think about whether others would really take her abroad, and now no one said they would take He Jingxian abroad.

In the same city, He Jingxian and Qi Shixin met less often, and she met her second aunt more often. After He Jingxian divorced Qi Shixin, she didn't even think about whether to go see her child.

Aunt Qi knew that He Jingxian had no announcements recently. When she saw He Jingxian coming to the unit, she asked He Jingxian to come to her office.

"Aren't you going to see your child?" asked Aunt Qi Er.

"Do you want me to go see them?" He Jingxian asked.

"Those are your biological daughters," Aunt Qi said. "What do you mean by 'we don't want you to visit them?' Don't you miss them?"

"What do I want them to do? I missed the most important time and development because of giving birth to them." He Jingxian said, "You were the ones who asked me to give birth to them. You were the ones who wanted these three children. I gave birth to them according to your request. I didn't ask them to follow me. I left them to their father. Their father will take good care of them."

"Aren't you worried that Shixin hasn't taken good care of them?" Aunt Qi asked again.

"What's there to worry about? Qi Shixin is their biological father. If Qi Shixin doesn't treat them well, there's nothing I can do." He Jingxian said, "I can't care so much. I can't continue to delay myself for them. Isn't it good that I didn't go to see them? They are young and will soon forget me, their biological mother. They won't think about treating me well in the future. They will only think about you."

"..." Aunt Qi was speechless for the child when she heard He Jingxian's cold words.

"I'm filming, and I still give them money, don't I?" He Jingxian said, "I haven't given nothing to them, so there's no need for me to be in front of them in person. They've been weaned a long time ago and don't need their biological mother by their side."

"Aren't you afraid that you will regret it later?" Aunt Qi said.

"I don't regret it. What I regret most is that I shouldn't have given birth to three children, but only one." He Jingxian is not afraid of Second Aunt Qi being upset. She and Qi Shixin have already divorced, and He Jingxian has also made an agreement with Second Aunt Qi that she will give part of her film salary to her three children. He Jingxian believes that she has done a good job and these people should not ask her to do anything else. "I am not a tool for giving birth to children. I have my own things to do."

Every time He Jingxian thought about this, she was particularly jealous of Jiang Moli. Jiang Moli didn't have to give birth to children one after another. Jiang Moli's in-laws were very understanding and supported her career. Looking at herself, the Qi family only knew how to ask her to give birth to a child, especially a boy. Those people didn't consider her career at all. Whether her career was good or not, the Qi family didn't care at all.

"Forget it, I won't say much to you." Aunt Qi said, "Just figure it out yourself."

Second Aunt Qi didn't stop He Jingxian from seeing the children; that wasn't part of the agreement, and Mother Qi didn't prevent He Jingxian from seeing the children. It was He Jingxian's own choice not to see the children. Seeing the children made her feel miserable, and she would be even more heartbroken and dislike the three children even more. It was better for her not to see them.

At the Qi family, Second Aunt Qi explained He Jingxian's attitude to Qi's mother.

"Don't count on her to come see the children," Qi's mother said. "She just wishes she had never given birth to these three children. If it weren't for you, she would need your help. She wouldn't be able to pay child support at all. It's better for someone like her not to come see the children."

"After all, she's our biological child. It's best to see her first." Aunt Qi said, "If she doesn't come...there's nothing we can do."

Aunt Qi couldn't force He Jingxian to come. The child was He Jingxian's biological child, not adopted. If He Jingxian didn't love the child, no one else could do anything about it.

When Qi's mother told Qi Shixin about He Jingxian's affairs, Qi Shixin just said, "Mom, you don't have to tell her those things in the future. If she wants to come, she can come. If she doesn't want to come, then she can just not come."

Qi Shixin had given up on He Jingxian a long time ago. He had no intention of remarrying He Jingxian, nor did he want He Jingxian to come and see the children more often. He could do more things on his own and raise the children well. He didn't necessarily need He Jingxian.

When Jiang Moli was not filming, she basically did not go to the film and television city. Jiang Moli was not like He Jingxian who always stayed in the film and television city. He Jingxian went there to look for opportunities, but Jiang Moli did not need to go there to look for opportunities. Jiang Moli had a certain degree of fame, and some people came to her door to find her.

Since Niu Cuihua and her husband paid Jiang Moli back, they've felt a lot more relaxed. Before, Jiang Moli hadn't put pressure on them to pay back the money early, which had made them a bit nervous about paying it back early. Now that they didn't owe the money, they were more willing to buy more food.

Niu Cuihua and his wife also tidied up the yard. The shed they had built before was leaking a bit, which was not a good thing when it rained, as they still had to store things like tofu there.

When Jiang Moli went over, Zhao Guodong was standing on a ladder, working on a shed.

"Are you going to build a small room here?" Jiang Moli asked.

"No," Zhao Guodong said, "The top of the shed leaks a bit, so we'll rebuild it. We've made straw curtains around it, so it's very convenient. Our yard is small, so it would be inconvenient to build another small room."

Zhao Guodong and his wife already had a toilet in their yard, so it wasn't easy to add another one. The yard was tiny, not particularly large. The house was big enough, so they didn't bother. They built a small room, but it wasn't big enough for living, and it was just for storing things, so they might as well use a small basin like this.

"Go sit inside first." Zhao Guodong said, "It will be ready in a while."

"Let me hold the ladder for you." Jiang Moli said.

"Let me help." Niu Cuihua was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, which she wanted to give to Zhao Guodong.

The straw next to it needed to be adjusted a little, so Zhao Guodong asked Niu Cuihua to get the scissors.

"It's not that high here," Zhao Guodong said. "This ladder is supported on both sides, so it won't fall down easily. It's okay."

Jiang Moli looked at the homemade ladder. Both sides of the ladder were indeed on the ground. But if Jiang Moli was asked to climb such a ladder, she would still not be willing to do it. She still needed someone to hold on to her from below, which would be safer.

"Jasmine, please sit for a while. I'll hold on to you. Your brother will get it done in no time." Niu Cuihua said.

"Okay." Jiang Moli nodded.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhao Guodong and his wife finished their things and came over.

"Jasmine, have some tea." Niu Cuihua poured tea for Jiang Moli. Niu's mother was not at home, and the two children were outside.

"My uncle is turning fifty," Jiang Moli said. "Mom said he's having a birthday party. Whether we go or not, we have to give him a red envelope."

Jiang's mother's relatives rarely interacted with them, not even with his uncles. They all lived in different places, and the distance was long, so transportation was expensive. Sometimes they just called. A few uncles lived nearby, and when he had a birthday party, he gave out red envelopes. Other uncles didn't have birthday parties, but it was hard not to give them red envelopes.

"Give one to the other uncles as well," Jiang Moli said. "They didn't have a birthday party before, so we'll give them a red envelope this time. This red envelope could be smaller, but... it wouldn't look good if it were smaller, and it would seem unfair. Mom asked me to ask you what you mean. We'll give as much as you give."

Jiang Moli and her husband could have given a larger red envelope, but they ultimately chose to give the same as Niu Cuihua and her husband. Red envelopes are given and given back, and you can't take someone else's red envelope for free. When Jiang's mother turns 60 and they have a birthday party, those people will also have to give her a red envelope.

"Three uncles, right?" Niu Cuihua counted on her fingers.

"Yes." Jiang Moli nodded. "I don't have time to go during the first month of the year. Jiahao may not have time either. Mom will go."

Jiang Moli was telling the truth. She was indeed quite busy, especially during the first month of the lunar year. In fact, her uncle's birthday was not in the first month of the lunar year, but he chose to celebrate it in the first month of the lunar year because there were many people and it was lively. If it were any other time, it would not be so lively.

"Are you going?" Jiang Moli asked.

"Someone has to go," Niu Cuihua said. "My uncle is the oldest. It's his birthday, so we have to have no one there. If you don't have time, you don't have to go. Let Guodong go."

"All is fine." Jiang Moli said, "You can arrange it as you wish."

"As for the red envelopes, we'll tell you before we go," Niu Cuihua said. "No, we can give them over and tell you the amount when we come back. Aren't the children from my second aunt's family going there too?"

"Yes, everyone has to go." Jiang Moli said, "Do you want to ask them how much they pack? Okay, it's okay to ask. Everyone packs about the same amount, so there's nothing to say. Mom will go over, and I'll give her some extra money, and then she can pack it."

Jiang Moli was not very familiar with her uncles and aunts, and she seldom saw them. Her uncles and aunts did not come over often. When Jiang Moli got married, they came over. They knew that Jiang Moli's family was rich, but they still seldom came over, and they did not ask Jiang Moli to borrow money.

These uncles and aunts are pretty good. They don't interact much and don't cause trouble to each other.

"I came here just to tell you this." Jiang Moli said, "Now that I'm done, I'll go back first."

"I'll see you off." Niu Cuihua walked Jiang Moli out.

After Jiang Moli left, Niu Cuihua returned home.

My three uncles are here, so if I have to give them all red envelopes, then I’ll give them three red envelopes, and the red envelopes for my uncles can’t be small.

Niu Cuihua had thought she'd have a more relaxed New Year's holiday this year, but she hadn't expected to have to spend a fortune, and she had to spend it. Jiang's mother's relatives weren't from the Zhao family. If they were from the Zhao family, Niu Cuihua and her husband wouldn't have to pay. But for Jiang's mother's relatives, Niu Cuihua and her husband still had to prepare the money.

"Is that enough money?" Zhao Guodong asked Niu Cuihua.

"Even if it's not enough, there has to be enough money." Niu Cuihua sighed, "The red envelope for uncle has to be bigger."

"It has to be bigger," Zhao Guodong said. "Jasmine made the same one as us. Everyone has about the same size. That's fine."

"Everyone's giving about the same amount, it can't be less," Niu Cuihua said. "If the difference is too big, people will laugh at us. It's fine for Jasmine to give the same amount as us. Their family is rich, but it's not appropriate for them to give more. They'll have to return the red envelopes when Mom holds her birthday party."

That's what they say, there's give and take, but no one can be sure what the situation will be when the time comes.

Niu Cuihua was a little worried. She couldn't afford to spend less. She calculated the family's finances and found they were still a bit tight. If she spent this much, she would be a bit short on cash when her child enrolled in school after the Lunar New Year. And it was unlikely that Niu Cuihua's brother and sister-in-law would pay her back so quickly; they were broke.

"If it really doesn't work, then I'll ask your mother to borrow some money to enroll the child in school." Niu Cuihua said.

"This is the only way." Zhao Guodong said.

Jiang Moli returned home and told her mother that she had told her brother and sister-in-law about her uncle's birthday party.

"My brother and sister-in-law may not have much money." Jiang Moli said, "When I mentioned it, they didn't say they were short of money, but it is very likely that they are short of money."

Zhao Guodong and his wife had previously given Jiang Moli money. They also bought some things on credit, so they didn't pay for all of it. At the end of the year, all that money had to be paid back. If the young uncle hadn't held a birthday party in the first month of the year, Zhao Guodong and his wife would have had some extra money left. Now they had to give red envelopes to the three uncles, so they needed even more money.

I have given red envelopes to my three uncles, but my second aunt is still missing. Should I give her one as well?

Jiang Moli didn't say it, but that's the truth.

Zhao Guodong and his wife rarely visit their uncles' homes, so when they do, they have to follow the proper etiquette. Besides red envelopes, they also have to buy some other things.

"When the time comes, please bring more money with you." Jiang Moli said, "If they don't have enough money, they can borrow some from you instead of going to other people to borrow."

It is not a good idea for Zhao Guodong and his wife to borrow money from those people. It is better to borrow money from Jiang's mother.

"It's the end of the year, and after settling their previous accounts, they don't have much money left." Jiang Moli said, "If we didn't have to give out those red envelopes, this year would be a little easier."

Jiang Moli didn't directly ask Zhao Guodong and his wife if they wanted to borrow money. She seemed a bit contemptuous of others by asking directly. No one else said they had no money, but Jiang Moli directly assumed that they had no money. This was inappropriate. Even if Zhao Guodong was Jiang Moli's biological brother, it would not be acceptable.

"Then bring more money with you," Jiang's mother said. "We don't know how many times we can go to your uncle's house. We haven't been there in several years, and they haven't come either. The travel expenses are expensive, so they don't want to come. With that money, we can have several good meals. This time, your uncle is having a birthday party, so we thought we'd go over and get together."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Jiang Moli said, "I don't have time to go over there. I'll see if Jiahao is free to go over there when the time comes."

"If you're not free, then you don't have to go. Your brother and I can go," Jiang's mother said. "It's such a long journey, everyone understands. You didn't go in person, but you sent the red envelope. When you got married, you paid for the travel expenses and accommodation. You made all the arrangements."

"You can invite them over on your birthday. We will arrange the expenses," Jiang Moli said.

Jiang's mother and her family were going to her uncle's place this time. His uncle didn't provide transportation, but he did provide accommodations. Jiang's mother and her family could just stay at his uncle's house. If there weren't any spare beds, they could squeeze into the living room. There were so many relatives there, so a little squeezing in would be enough. There was no need to move out. Since they were already relatives, it was a good opportunity for them to spend more time together.

At night, in the bedroom, Jiang Moli applied skin care products.

"Mom said that we don't have to go to my uncle's place. She and my brother will go." Jiang Moli said.

"I'll check the time. If I'm free, I'll go over." Sheng Jiahao said.

"That's fine." Jiang Moli said, "Don't force it. If there's something to do, just do it first. It's the same for mom and brother to go. I'm not afraid of them saying that we look down on uncle or don't recognize him. There's nothing we can do about it. If we change it to another time, it would be better."

"It's okay, you'll know when the time comes." Sheng Jiahao said.

By the end of the year, Jiang Moli was very busy performing operas, with many shows. Because Jiang Moli was so popular, the provincial station invited Jiang Moli to the Spring Festival Gala of operas. Without Jiang Moli, the Spring Festival Gala of operas would be missing something and incomplete.

The audience doesn't think it's a bad thing for Jiang Moli to appear on the show frequently. It's only once a year, not every day. The audience just wants to see more of Jiang Moli, and many people are waiting to see her performance excerpts.

Jiang Moli went to record the program on Xiaonian as usual, and returned home after the recording.

When the baby was in the living room, he looked at the door, wondering when his mother would come back. After Jiang Moli came back, the baby walked towards Jiang Moli in a crooked manner.

"Mommy, mommy." The baby wants his mother to hold him.

Jiang Moli understood her son's intention at a glance. She picked him up and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"He slept for a long time during the day and is very energetic now," said Jiang's mother.

"Let him sleep less during the day and don't make people tired at night. If he doesn't sleep, others won't be able to sleep either." Jiang Moli said.

"Children are like this," Jiang's mother said. "It's okay for him to go to bed late at night. If I don't take care of him, there are people at home who will take care of him."

It’s just that Jiang’s mother prefers to take care of the baby herself rather than letting the servants do so.

Niu Cuihua and her husband ultimately didn't tell Big Brother Niu and Big Sister Niu about the money they needed, nor did they ask them to pay it back sooner. Zhao Guodong was thinking Big Brother Niu and Big Sister Niu were short on money during the New Year holiday, so he didn't let Niu Cuihua go over and tell her. It was Niu Cuihua who wanted to talk, but Zhao Guodong stopped her, so she shut up.

When Niu's mother learned that Zhao Guodong was going to his uncle's house after the Lunar New Year, she asked, "Do you have enough money?"

"That's enough, that's enough." Niu Cuihua said quickly, "Mom, you don't have to worry about these things."

"If the money is not enough, I have some here." said Niu's mother.

"That's enough." Niu Cuihua said, "Guodong and I will make arrangements. When the time comes, Guodong will go over, and I'll stay home to take care of the kids and make tofu to sell."

Niu Cuihua had no plans to rest at that time. Money was tight, so she had to do more to fill the gap.

"If you need money, just tell me. Your elder brother and his wife are having a hard time, so they may not be able to pay you back," said Niu's mother.

"Guodong told me not to go to my eldest brother and his wife," Niu Cuihua said. "I was thinking of talking to my eldest brother and his wife. If they had some money, they might consider paying me back a little bit. But now that Guodong won't let me, I won't say anything."

The main reason was that Niu Cuihua herself was feeling nervous now. She thought that her elder brother and sister-in-law were probably short of money at the moment, and it would be inappropriate for her to say those words to them again.

"Guodong went with his mother. If he really needs money, his mother is here, so he doesn't have to worry about it." Niu Cuihua said, "My mother-in-law is richer than you. She has a pension, and Jasmine also gives her money. We don't ask her for money on weekdays. Jasmine has given her money, so we should also give my mother-in-law pension money. We are short of money, so we didn't give it."

Niu Cuihua had originally thought they could give Jiang's mother a red envelope this year, and perhaps give Jiang's father one too. Given the current situation, they'd better forget it and wait a little longer. Niu Cuihua and her husband had no money, and they couldn't just borrow a wallet. It would be embarrassing if Jiang's mother and her family knew they were borrowing a wallet to give to Jiang's father and mother.

It’s different for Zhao Guodong’s uncle and his people. It’s a rare opportunity for Zhao Guodong to visit them, so he has to show all the necessary courtesy.

"Mom, please help me when the time comes. We can make more tofu and sell it for more money." Niu Cuihua said.

"Well, okay." Mother Niu nodded. She had no objection.

Niu's mother thought that if she could earn more money, that would be good and would also reduce some of the burden on her daughter.

At this time, He Jingxian did not join the crew, she did not think about visiting her three daughters, nor did she think about buying clothes or food for her three daughters. He Jingxian believed that since she and Qi Shixin were divorced, those things should be done by Qi Shixin.

Second Aunt Qi didn't mention asking He Jingxian to go see the child. There was no need to say that. Even if she did, He Jingxian wouldn't listen. Second Aunt Qi couldn't force He Jingxian to go see the child. Forcing her to go was pointless, and He Jingxian wouldn't be good to the child. It would be better for her to just leave it alone.

He's mother only found out about He Jingxian's divorce some time ago. He Jingxian and Qi Shixin divorced, but He Jingxian didn't tell her family first. By the time her family found out, He Jingxian and Qi Shixin had already divorced.

He Jingxian did not go back to her parents' home for the New Year. She knew that if she went back, she would definitely be criticized.

On the phone, He's mother was talking about He Jingxian.

"Shixin isn't married yet. Can you and he still get remarried?" He's mother asked, "I think it's better for you to get remarried. Didn't you say you still have to rely on his second aunt..."

"I paid them." He Jingxian interrupted her mother, "His second aunt introduced me to the crew, and I paid child support for the three children. This is a deal in itself, I don't owe them anything."

"You...you are divorced, and now you are spending the New Year alone? You don't plan to come back to celebrate the New Year?" asked He's mother.

"I'm not going back." He Jingxian said, "I plan to go to the film and television city when the time comes. There are still crews filming there. If I go there, maybe I can get a role."

"I asked you to sing opera, but now you are acting in TV dramas." said He's mother.

"Acting in a TV series is much better than singing opera. If I can appear on TV, many people will recognize me." He Jingxian said, "I was too stupid before. I only knew how to focus on opera and didn't know how to look at other things. If I look more at the outside world, I will find that there are many good things out there. Mom, you don't have to persuade me to remarry Qi Shixin. I will never remarry him. I will never remarry him in this life. It was all for the sake of giving birth to a son for him that I gave birth to three daughters in succession. I spent my youth giving birth to children for him."

He Jingxian felt heartbroken. If she had only given birth to one child, she wouldn't be so much worse off than Jiang Moli now.

"Don't talk about remarriage anymore. It makes people laugh." He Jingxian said, "People still think I'm still obsessed with Qi Shixin. That's not true."

He's mother said several words, but He Jingxian didn't want to continue. He's mother had no choice. He's mother felt that Qi Shixin was not bad now. Qi Shixin knew how to cook and take care of children. He Jingxian couldn't have children, so which man would be willing to marry her? How many of those men outside were reliable? In the future, He Jingxian would still have to rely on those three children.

"The child is with Qi Shixin, and he will take good care of the child." He Jingxian said, "He hasn't remarried yet. When he does, I'll have time to see the child more. By then, I'll be worried about whether he's become a stepfather. Mom, is this okay?"

He Jingxian really didn't want to say more about Qi Shixin and the child. It wasn't like she couldn't live without Qi Shixin for the rest of her life. Even if she divorced Qi Shixin, wouldn't she still be able to live her life as usual?

"Okay, okay, okay." said He's mother.

"Mom, don't worry about these things. Did Qi Shixin and the others call you?" He Jingxian said.

"No……"

"They didn't call you or ask you to say these things to me, so don't say them," He Jingxian said. "It's so annoying. I have to work hard, and yet I have to listen to you say these things. Do you know how hard it makes me feel? Can't you say less and support me more? Other people's parents are very supportive of their children. My former classmate was like that; her parents never said much about her."

No matter how much these people talked to He Jingxian, it was useless. She didn't want to care about the three children. He Jingxian thought that as long as she made more money, she wouldn't have to rely on the three children in the future. If He Jingxian wanted to marry, she would marry someone else, not Qi Shixin again.

No one cares whether He Jingxian and Qi Shixin will remarry.

Jiang Moli doesn't care, and neither does Zhou Yiran.

Jiang Moli bought a set of clothes for Zhou Yaran's baby and some toys. Zhou Yaran didn't buy clothes for Jiang Moli's baby because the baby already had a lot of clothes, so Zhou Yaran bought some toys for the baby. Of course, the things Zhou Yaran bought were not as expensive as Jiang Moli's.

"Our children are taking advantage of this." Zhou Yiran joked.

Jiang Moli was at Zhou Yiran's house. She came to see Zhou Yiran and gave her some things.

"This set of skin care products is very expensive, right?" Zhou Yiran looked at the skin care products Jiang Moli gave her.

"It's okay." Jiang Moli said, "It works well for me, so I thought I'd give it to you too. If you're not allergic to anything, it should be fine. If you are, don't use it and give it to someone else."

"I'm not usually allergic to anything," Zhou Yiran said. "I saw this skincare product in an ad. Not only did my son get a good deal, but I got one too."

"That's not true," Jiang Moli said. "You're always with me. If I don't come to you, you'll come to me and keep me company. You're very important. You provide priceless emotional value, and I'm the one taking advantage."

"You're both taking advantage." Zhou Yiran chuckled. "I thought it was almost New Year's and you wouldn't be free, but I didn't expect you to come."

"I came to see you." Jiang Moli said, "I have to get busy again later, so I don't have much time."

"If you don't have time, then you don't have to come over. How could I not know you? I can't ask you why you didn't come over to see me and force me to come over." Zhou Yiran said, "It won't hurt if I go over. If others say I'm clinging to you, I'll just say yes. I have to hold your thighs tightly and can't let go."

"No way." Jiang Moli said, "I have to go back soon. I have a performance tonight."

"If you have a performance tonight, don't come. You have to rush over now, it will be too tiring. When you have time, you should have a good rest and spend more time with the baby." Zhou Yiran said.

"I have to accompany the baby and also come to see you." Jiang Moli said.

Jiang Moli stayed with Zhou Yiran for a while, then she went back. Zhou Yiran walked Jiang Moli to the door, and then she closed the door and went into the house.

Zhou Yiran's mother-in-law, Yao Mu, looked at the set of skin care products, which had not been unpacked yet.

"It looks good." said Yao's mother.

"This is from the advertisement," Zhou Yiran said. "It's very expensive."

"She's really willing to give you such an expensive gift." Yao's mother said, "Is the gift you gave her this good?"

"Of course... it's not that good." Zhou Yiran said, "Jasmine doesn't care about these things. If Jasmine doesn't care, and I still care about it, that would be bad."

The gap between Zhou Ya and Jiang Moli is indeed getting bigger and bigger, but as long as Jiang Moli regards Zhou Yiran as a good friend, Zhou Yiran will not be able to ignore Jiang Moli. She, Zhou Yiran, wants to be a good friend with Jiang Moli for life.

"Mom, please try it." Zhou Yiran opened the skin care products and prepared to let Yao's mother try it.

"No need, use it yourself." Yao's mother said, "Jasmine gave it to you."

"She gave it to me. It's not like I can't let you use it. Come on, try it." Zhou Yiran said.

"Then let's give it a try?" said Yao's mother.

Zhou Yaran let Yao's mother try the skin care lotion on the back of her hand first.

Mother Yao looked down at the back of her hand, trying to see the difference.

"You won't see the effects right away." Zhou Yiran also applied a little to the back of her hand and sniffed. "It smells nice, a light, refreshing herbal scent, not pungent. Expensive things are expensive, and this thing is just good."

In prison, Fan Xiaoxue met her husband Shi Kaihua, and Shi Kaihua asked as usual whether Xie Shaojun and Shi Nan had given the money.

"I gave it to you, all at once." Fan Xiaoxue said, "I used the money to buy a house, and it's in my name. I don't dare put your name on it. If you keep doing this, when you get out, you'll still be grateful to Xie Shaojun and Shi Nan. You'll still want them to get by, and I and the child have to have a way out."
