Chapter 90: Spendthrifts: Late spring and early summer, the weather is changeable

"Don't come, no need to wait for them." said Xu's mother.

"You're really not coming?" Mrs. Xu asked again.

"I really can't come." Xu's mother said, "We will eat at home, so we don't need to go out."

Xu's mother was sad. Her daughter was with someone else, but they didn't hold a wedding banquet or get a marriage certificate... Xu's mother didn't dare to sigh. It was New Year's Day, so she couldn't sigh. Xu's mother had asked Xu Ruyun a long time ago, and Xu Ruyun said she might not come back for lunch. They waited for a while, but it was twelve o'clock, and Xu Ruyun still didn't come. There was no need to wait.

When Su Xueqing and others finished their meal and left, the Xu family was still eating, and neither Xu Ruyun nor Yan Yichen came over.

Su Xueqing and her husband didn't pay attention to whether Yan Yichen came over. Su Yanan and the others planned to sit at the Su family's place for a while. Su Xueqing was going back to take a nap, so she didn't stay here.

After Amelia Su left, Amelia Su talked to Su Yanan about buying a house again.

"..." Su Yanan understood instantly that Amelia Su could only be compared with her younger sister now. There was no comparison between the eldest sister and the younger sister. "Buy it, buy it. If you have money, buy it. Our three children have to go to school. We don't have that much money, and we can't help you."

“I’m not asking for your help, I’m just thinking about where to buy this house.” Amelia Su said.

"It depends on how much money you have." Su Yanan said, "If you have money, you can buy a building like my younger sister, with many rooms, hire servants, and the servants can live there."

Su Yanan did it on purpose. She didn't like to give Amelia Su face. Amelia Su said those words in front of her, wasn't it just to show off? She hadn't bought a house yet, but she had so many ideas just preparing to buy a house, so it was even more impossible for her to make Amelia Su happy.

"If you don't have much money, just buy a smaller house." Su Yanan said, "You can do things that fit your money, big sister, don't you agree?"

“Yes…” Amelia Su’s mouth twitched slightly. She had originally been thinking about buying a house, which was a big happy event worth celebrating, but Su Yanan said this, “We really can’t afford a house like my younger sister’s. My younger sister also relies on her in-laws…”

"Brother-in-law is good at making money." Su Yanan said, "Brother-in-law can buy it himself."

"Is that because your brother-in-law is not capable enough?" Amelia Su said.

"I didn't say that. If I did, your second brother-in-law wouldn't be that great." Su Yanan said, "He can't buy such a good house. Really, don't think about how good a house you want. Just have a house to live in. Don't think too much. Sister, think about it carefully. Where should you buy a house? How big should you buy one? Should you buy a three-bedroom and one-living room house or a two-bedroom and one-living room house? You have two children, a boy and a girl. It's not easy for them to sleep in one room. It's better to buy a three-bedroom house."

"My daughter will get married sooner or later." Amelia Su said, "My younger sister used to sleep in the living room."

“…” Su Yanan was not surprised, this was indeed Amelia Su’s style.

Amelia Su always said that, and people who didn’t know the situation thought that the Su family was not good to Amelia Su. In fact, Third Brother Su slept in the living room longer.

"We think it's better to buy a house nearby." Amelia Su said, "The house nearby is close to my parents' house, and our breakfast shop is also here, so it's convenient to go back and forth. If it's too far away, it will be too troublesome to run back and forth to open a breakfast shop. Shanshan's school is also nearby, and it's really not good to go too far."

The most important thing is that the houses nearby are a little cheaper, not particularly expensive. Houses closer to the city center are more expensive, and Amelia Su has little money, so she has no way to buy a house in the city center.

"Sister, you are right." Su Yanan said, "You can also ask mom and grandma to help you take care of the children."

It’s impossible to expect Amelia Su to take care of her parents.

Su Yanan would never say that Amelia Su was diligent in taking care of her parents. She thought that Su Sansao and his wife did not say much about Amelia Su, and that Su Sansao and his wife were willing to let Wei Shanshan and Wei Yaozu stay at home, which was already very good. If it were me, I would not let my sister-in-law's children stay at home all the time. Amelia Su said that she gave food expenses every month, but it was just food expenses, not more.

"You live too far away. If you find someone else to help you take care of your child, they will have to charge your family." Su Yanan said, "It means that mom and grandma will take care of your child for free."

“Don’t say such harsh words. When you gave birth to the child, didn’t your mother help you take care of it?” Amelia Su said.

"My husband and I didn't ask mom to help take care of the children for that long," said Su Yanan.

"Eat some strawberries." Mother Su washed the strawberries and brought them out. These strawberries were bought by Su Xueqing and brought when she came today. Mother Su simply washed some strawberries for everyone to eat instead of hiding them in the refrigerator for herself.

"My little sister is so nice. She bought so many delicious strawberries." Su Yanan said with a smile.

"Eat." said Su's mother.

No matter how unhappy Amelia Su was, there was nothing she could do. Su Yanan had not continued the topic, and Amelia Su could not talk about the house anymore. Su Yanan did not give Amelia Su face, and Amelia Su had no way out at all.

After lunch break, Su Xueqing got up and went to the living room to watch TV. She ate some strawberries. These strawberries were not refrigerated. They were just picked today. Food in the refrigerator is easy to grow bacteria, so Su Xueqing basically eats fresh strawberries.

The strawberries are sweet and sour and taste good.

Some strawberries look big, but they are very sour.

The strawberries Su Xueqing bought were small in size, but tasted good. Whether the strawberries were big or not was not the point, the point was the taste.

The phone rang and Ning Yanjing went to answer it. Aunt Ning's family asked them to come over for dinner in the evening.

"Are you going?" Ning Yanjing asked Su Xueqing after hanging up the phone.

"Go ahead." Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were married, so they couldn't always avoid visiting these relatives' homes. Others asked them to have a meal, not to let them suffer.

"Eat something to fill your stomach before you go to bed." Ning Yanjing said, "Second Aunt... ever since we got a refrigerator at home, she sometimes puts things in the refrigerator and doesn't eat them for a long time. When the time comes, I'll go and see what's fresh. If it's not fresh, you don't have to eat it."

"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded, "It's been so long, and they still don't eat it?"

"You have to eat it, but you just have to wait a long time." Ning Yanjing said, "That kind of food doesn't taste good."

Aunt Ning is a magical person. Her family is not short of money, but Aunt Ning is still very stingy.

But this time, Aunt Ning's daughter-in-law didn't take out the zombie meat from the refrigerator to cook and eat. With a pregnant woman around, she bought some fresh meat. It had to be frozen. Meat frozen within a week or two was fine, but meat frozen too long was not.

"The meat is good, why not use it?" Aunt Ning Er looked at the melted meat.

"Mom, put this meat aside for now. We'll eat it tomorrow and have something else today." Aunt Ning's daughter-in-law said, "My cousin's wife is coming over. If she gets an upset stomach from eating, it will be difficult to deal with."

"She is really precious." Aunt Ning Er said.

"It's not that she is precious, it's the baby in her belly that is precious. The child's surname is Ning." said the daughter-in-law of Aunt Ning's second aunt.

"Okay, okay, put the meat aside first." Aunt Ning said.

Aunt Ning Er and the others hadn't finished cooking yet, so Ning Jiaxuan and the others came over first. Ning Jiaxuan received instructions from Ning Yanjing, and she wanted to go to the kitchen to check, pretending to help, but actually to see what dishes were fresh. Sister Ning also went to the kitchen to help with the cooking, and didn't let Aunt Ning Er and the others busy themselves.

When Su Xueqing and her husband came over, Ning Jiaxuan pulled Su Xueqing aside and whispered, "My cousin's wife asked my cousin to buy fresh meat, not meat that has been frozen in the refrigerator for a long time."

"You've seen it." Su Xueqing said.

"I heard it from my cousin's wife." Ning Jiaxuan said, "My cousin's wife said it on purpose just to show it to us."

It would be bad if Su Xueqing and her husband didn't come. If they came, if there was a problem with the food, Su Xueqing was still pregnant. If they didn't come, Uncle Ning Er would lose face. Aunt Ning Er's daughter-in-law understood what they were worried about, so she just said it directly.

Although the dishes were fresh, Su Xueqing didn't eat too much. She only ate some when she came.

"Eat more, you're welcome." Aunt Ning Er said, "I bought fresh vegetables today just to cook for you. Xueqing, you eat too, Shuangshen, eat more."

"I ate a lot." Su Xueqing said.

"Eat small meals frequently." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You've been eating so much oil these days, it's easy to get acne. Xueqing, eat some green vegetables, green vegetables are good."

Ning Jiaxuan picked some vegetables for Su Xueqing and Su Xueqing ate them.

Aunt Ning Er saw this and said, “You people just love to look pretty. You are so scared of a small pimple that you dare not go out to see people.”

"It's not that I'm afraid to see people, but it's uncomfortable to have a small pimple." Ning Jiaxuan said, "And I can't just squeeze it. If it grows in an unsightly place, it will be even worse."

"Jiaxuan, you're going to graduate after next semester, don't you plan to find a partner?" Aunt Ning was eager to make a move.

"No, I have to study abroad." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Study abroad?" Aunt Ning Er said, "I haven't heard your parents talk about it before."

"It's just studying, there's nothing much to say." Ning Jiaxuan said.

Aunt Ning Er saw that Ning Jiaxuan was going to study abroad, so she couldn't introduce a date to Ning Jiaxuan. It's okay, without Ning Jiaxuan, there are others. Aunt Ning Er turned to ask those young people who were still single, asking them when they would find a partner and when they planned to get married...

After dinner, Su Xueqing and her husband left early. They had their reasons ready. They said it was too cold outside and there was snowing. They were afraid that if they left too late, the ground would freeze and the car would slip.

When Aunt Ning heard this, she naturally felt it was not appropriate to keep Su Xueqing and her husband.

Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun did not go to Xu's house for lunch, they simply asked the Xu family to come for dinner.

After dinner, Xu's mother helped to clean up.

"What's wrong with your husband's head?" Xu's mother asked Xu Ruyun in a low voice in the kitchen.

"What else could it be? He must have been hit by his own mother." Xu Ruyun said.

"It was his own mother who smashed it?" Xu's mother opened her eyes wide, "Is that something a mother can do?"

"It was his mother who did it." Xu Ruyun said, "I asked him to go to the hospital, but he said it was a minor wound and didn't need stitches, so he didn't go to the hospital. Mom, you can see that there is still gauze on his head, so it's not good to let him come to your place for dinner."

"It's really hard to get through." Xu's mother said, "This wound doesn't like water."

"It's been several days. Now I just need to change the gauze." Xu Ruyun said, "It's nothing serious."

Yan Yichen wanted to take off the gauze, but Xu Ruyun asked him to wait a little longer because the wound had not healed yet. If he took off the gauze at this time, bacteria would easily enter. Especially on the forehead, there was hair next to it, and there were many bacteria on the hair. After hearing what Xu Ruyun said, Yan Yichen did not say no to the gauze.

"I'm glad you're okay." Mother Xu felt complicated, "His mother really is..."

When Xu's mother said this, she looked outside again, fearing that Yan Yichen might have heard it.

"I'll get some beeswax later." Xu's mother said, "Sometimes it can be used when it's bumped. There's also old tea oil."

"We have everything here, Mom, you don't need to bring it." Xu Ruyun had raised a child in her previous life, and she used to prepare these things at home, and she still has them now. There is also a medicine box at home, just in case of emergency, "We have a lot of things here."

"Okay." Xu's mother said, "It's good that you have them all. I won't bring them to you. You two should...have a baby sooner rather than later. With a baby, maybe your husband's biological mother's attitude will be more relaxed and not so intense."

"..."Xu Ruyun smiled.

Giving birth to a child might be useful in other people's homes, but it might not be very useful in the Yan family. People like Yan's mother thought that Yan Yichen could still have children with other women, and Xu Ruyun's child was worthless.

Xu Ruyun didn't say those words to her mother. She didn't want to make her mother worry. There was nothing to worry about. Xu Ruyun chose this path. She knew how to go on. She never wanted the approval of Yan's mother.

"It is said that the generations are close. If you give birth to a boy, your husband will only have one son. They will treat the child well." Mother Xu said, "their attitude will also be better."

"Mom, wait a moment. When you go back, take the lamb leg back with you." Xu Ruyun said.

Previously, Xu Yuru heard from her mother that Su Xueqing and her husband sent lamb legs to the Su family, and she wrote it down. Xu Ruyun thought that these things were not particularly valuable, and if her mother liked them, she and Yan Yichen could also give them to her.

Xu Ruyun also gave some food to Brother Xu and his wife, asking them to take it back.

After sending the people away, Xu Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did your parents say anything to you?" Yan Yichen asked.

"No, don't worry." Xu Ruyun said, "My mother also asked about your injury, asking how you got into this state, and told you to be careful and not get hurt again."

"Pay attention next time." Yan Yichen saw the Xu family, who were working with Xu Ruyun. Yan Yichen felt that the Xu family was much better than his own mother. His own mother only knew how to embarrass her son. Yan Yichen had tried very hard to satisfy her, but she was not satisfied. He really didn't know what to do.

"As for you, keep a good mood." Xu Ruyun said, "You don't have to worry about my mom and the others saying bad things about you. They won't. They all think you are very good. You helped me and my second brother. It's also cheaper for my eldest brother to buy goods from their factory. They all recognize you very much. It's true. I'm not lying."

"I'm glad they didn't make things difficult for you." Yan Yichen said.

"As for me, they won't make things difficult for me." Xu Ruyun said, "We haven't obtained a marriage certificate, nor have we held a wedding banquet, and my parents haven't said much. At this time, it is even less likely that they will say anything unpleasant. My parents hope that we can live a good life. As long as we live well, they have no other requirements."

"Yeah." Yan Yichen nodded.

"My mother and her family are easily satisfied." Xu Ruyun said, "They are all ordinary people, not very educated, they just know that happiness lies in a happy family life."

"Okay." Yan Yichen said.

A bridge over the Yazui River has been built and opened to traffic before the Chinese New Year. The bus group has arranged buses to travel between the two banks. The bus starts at 6 am and the last bus at 9:30 pm.

This time was decided after discussion. There are already areas in the development zone that have been put into use, and there are still people living in nearby houses, but many people go from one side of the river to the other. Some factories work in three shifts or two shifts, and some people come back late from work. Originally, the last bus was scheduled for 10 o'clock, but because there were really few people at 10 o'clock, it was temporarily set at 9:30. Later, if there are many people, the time can be delayed a little.

The notice on both sides of the Yazui River is convenient for people to go back and forth to work, and also convenient for those companies to do business. There are also hotels and shopping malls in the development zone. There are not many people staying in the shopping mall yet, but it will gradually increase in the future. For supporting facilities, there is also a hospital that will build a branch there.

Su Xueqing's belly gradually grew bigger, and she usually didn't go to the construction site unless there was a problem that needed her to solve.

After the school started, Su Xueqing did not go to school for the time being. She just needed to complete her graduation project and did not have to stay in school. Su Xueqing had more time to rest. She sometimes went to the Architectural Design Institute, but the number of times she went there was also less.

Su Xueqing knew that she was pregnant and it was indeed not easy for her to get along, and others had to be cautious in front of her.

Amelia Su decided to buy a house first, a two-bedroom, one-living room house with a living room and dining room, and a kitchen. After Amelia Su bought the house, she told Amelia Su about it. Amelia Su planned to invite close relatives to get together, which would be considered her housewarming party.

Amelia Su didn’t go to Amelia Su’s house on purpose to say this, but when Amelia Su went to Su’s house, Amelia Su went to Su’s house and said this.

"This house is close to my parents, not too far away, and it only takes six or seven minutes to walk there. Of course, it's a little farther than before." Amelia Su said, "It just so happens that the family is selling their house, and they want to go somewhere else, so it can be cheaper, so we bought it. It's just that the roof of the house needs to be repaired, and your eldest brother-in-law has already bought bricks and tiles."

Amelia Su and her husband decided to repair the roof themselves, and did not plan to ask others to repair it. They were like this in the countryside, and they repaired it themselves.

"Oh." Su Xueqing nodded.

"We took out all the money we earned before." Su Yamei said. They also borrowed some money from Su's father and mother, and asked Wei Dashan to borrow some money from relatives in the countryside.

Wei Dashan didn't have a house in the city, so it wouldn't work this way. Su Yamei meant to give the house in the countryside to Wei Dashan's brother, which was considered a sale, and the money he asked for was not much. Wei Dashan's brother agreed and gave the money.

The Wei family knew that Wei Dashan was Amelia Su's husband, so he could enter the city. Wei Dashan had no house in the city, and he couldn't raise his head in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The Wei family gritted their teeth and had to lend Wei Dashan some money so that Wei Dashan could raise his head in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded again.

“…” Amelia Su was not very happy when she saw Amelia Su like this, “You have no idea?”

"What can I think?" Su Xueqing said, "That's your house. It's good to have a house. You earned it with your own hands. It's what you deserve."

"It's indeed what we deserve. We get up early every day to sell breakfast, and we don't dare to rest during the holidays." Amelia Su said, "If we don't open the store to make money for a day, we will be panicked. When the house is repaired, you can come to our place for dinner. You must go to the housewarming party."

"It depends on the situation." Su Xueqing said.

Amelia Su did not continue to talk. With her own house, she felt at ease. Amelia Su planned to decorate one of the rooms, which was for her son to live in. Amelia Su did not plan to let Wei Shanshan live there. She thought that she could let Wei Shanshan continue to live with Mrs. Su for a while.

When Amelia Su told her mother how to arrange the rooms, she didn't mention Wei Shanshan, so her mother didn't ask any more questions. Her mother knew that Amelia Su had already said it before, and if she asked again, it would only hurt Wei Shanshan again.

Amelia Su and her husband can hold a housewarming party, and relatives are willing to go. But when Yu Dasao and her husband hold a housewarming party, relatives don't go. This makes Yu Dasao and her husband very unhappy, but there is nothing they can do. Yu Dasao and her husband did not go to the housewarming party, nor did they give red envelopes. They have long resented the Su family, and they think there are no relatives like the Su family.

The Su family didn't see Mrs. Yu and her husband coming, but they were not unhappy. Not only did Mrs. Yu and her husband not come, but Aunt Su Er didn't come either. Aunt Su Er caught a cold, and Uncle Su Er's people didn't come, so Aunt Su Er could only ask Aunt Su Xiao to help her wrap a red envelope.

Aunt Su Xiao had no money, so she asked Yu Jiachao to pay first, and Aunt Su Er would send the money to Aunt Su Xiao later.

"You two are really amazing. You bought a house so quickly."

"This is a nice house with a small yard."

"Having my own house means I have truly settled down."

…

Amelia Su was particularly happy to hear the compliments from those relatives. Su Yanan saw that Amelia Su was so proud, she did not pour cold water on her, as long as Amelia Su did not say something unpleasant in front of her, Su Yanan did not care.

After the banquet, Su Yanan and her family left with Su Xueqing and her husband.

Su Yanan told Su Xueqing that Yu Guochao and his wife did not give red envelopes. "Eldest sister saw that Yu Guochao did not come and did not give red envelopes. Eldest sister said several words."

"If they don't come and don't give us red envelopes, forget it." Su Xueqing said, "They don't want to recognize our relatives anymore."

The Su family refused to continue to help Yu Guochao and his wife, and Yu Guochao and his wife resented the Su family. Su Xueqing was not willing to let her parents be taken advantage of. Yu Guochao and his wife did not know how good others were to them. They only knew how to take advantage of them, regardless of whether others suffered losses or not.

"That's probably what he meant." Su Yanan said, "Before, Yu Guochao and his family wanted to hold a housewarming party, but Dad and his family said they didn't want to go. Our whole family didn't want to go, and the relatives from the Yu family didn't want to go either, so there was no housewarming party."

"Who made them owe so much money and not pay it back?" Su Xueqing said, "They held a housewarming party not to let everyone have a good meal, but to get everyone to give them red envelopes. People are not stupid enough to give them money for free. Red envelopes are for reciprocity and they have to return the gifts someday, but can they return the gifts?"

Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing did not accept red envelopes at their wedding banquet. If they did, Yu Jiachao and his wife would definitely give a very small amount. They would not have given a larger amount.

"My eldest sister is unhappy, not because she gave out a lot of red envelopes, but because she felt that Yu Guochao was too disrespectful to her." Su Yanan said.

"It's better not to have this face." Su Xueqing said, "How is Second Aunt's health?"

"He said it was nothing serious, but he caught a cold and it was hard for him to take a bus, so he didn't come." Su Yanan said, "My eldest sister didn't arrange a ticket or accommodation for him, so it's impossible for my second uncle to come."

If it is not convenient for Second Aunt Su to go there, then Second Uncle Su and his people will not come. They will think that it will cost a lot of money for them to come here. It will be more meaningful for them to spend that money on other things.

"Yaozu is still so young." Su Yanan sighed, "Eldest sister left the room for Yaozu, saying that Yaozu is two years old and will grow up in the blink of an eye. Boys should sleep by themselves at the age of three or four and have a separate room. They should not sleep with their parents."

Su Yanan originally wondered if Su Yamei would think about Wei Shanshan a little, just like Su's father and mother let their daughter sleep in the room first and their son sleep in the living room.

No!

Amelia Su was not like her father and mother. When she was at home, she also slept in her room instead of the living room. And now, Amelia Su treated Wei Shanshan like this.

"My elder sister has really changed a lot." Su Yanan said.

"Maybe my elder sister was like that from the beginning." Su Xueqing said.

"That's possible." Su Yanan said, "Mom asked my eldest sister to buy a house later, and she could buy a bigger house in a year or two. My eldest sister didn't want to, and she insisted on buying it now, saying that girls will get married sooner or later, and it doesn't matter if they have a room or not."

Su Yanan felt sad after hearing this. She herself has a daughter, and she didn't intend to be so bad to her daughter.

"That's my eldest sister's house. You can arrange it however you want." Su Xueqing said.

Su Yanan's family soon arrived home, and Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing continued walking.

Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing did not come here by car. Su Xueqing had to walk for a while as she had too little exercise, so Ning Yanjing walked with Su Xueqing.

After returning home, Su Xueqing looked at Ning Yanjing for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yanjing asked.

"If we had a daughter..."

"My parents both like their granddaughter very much. They have grandsons but not granddaughters," said Ning Yanjing.

"You don't have a son." Su Xueqing said.

"It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, having a daughter is enough." Ning Yanjing said, "Daughter, I have to prepare a dowry for her so that she can stand up straight. I still have to work hard."

"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded slightly, "You have to be good to your daughter."

Amelia Su didn’t want to become Amelia Su, she couldn’t be bad to her daughter, nor could she think about having a son.

Deng Manni was forced to get pregnant again by Liao's mother. She had to get pregnant and give birth to a son because Liao's mother always said so. Deng Manni had no choice but to get pregnant and give birth to a son for Liao Jiankai.

Because Deng Manni was pregnant and refused to have an abortion, she lost her job. Deng Manni's family members said she was stupid and asked why she didn't let someone else take over her job. It's not that Deng Manni didn't want someone else to take over her job, but her job required some skills, and the factory's performance was not particularly good, so the factory didn't allow young employees to give up their jobs to others.

Older employees can let their family members take over their jobs, but Deng Manni is not yet of age.

Without her job, Deng Manni suddenly felt financially tight.

Originally, Deng Manni had a job and received a salary. Even if Liao Jiankai gave her little money, she had enough money to spend and did not need to ask Liao Jiankai for more.

Deng Manni no longer has a salary, and the money she has will run out one day. She doesn't dare spend it all, so she can only ask Liao Jiankai for more money.

"Why is it gone again?" As soon as Liao Jiankai returned home, he heard Deng Manni talking about the money, which made him extremely unhappy. "I gave you ten yuan last time."

"That was last month." Deng Manni said, "Last month, a relative got married and had a wedding banquet, so I had to give gifts. We ate at home, so I had to buy food and cook..."

"Spend sparingly." Liao Jiankai took out five dollars and handed it to Deng Manni.

"This is not enough." Deng Manni said.

"Let's talk about it after we spend the money." Liao Jiankai said, "Manny, don't think you're still working. I'm the only one working in our family. We have children to raise, including the one in your belly. We have two children. Spend sparingly and don't be too extravagant."

"Not extravagant." Deng Manni felt bad. She thought things would be much better after she gave birth to a son.

Deng Manni had thought about registering her eldest daughter under someone else's name so that she could continue to work in the factory. However, the factory staff discovered that the factory itself was not doing well, and some workshop workers did not go to work and were waiting for the birth of their children. Deng Manni gave birth to her second child and still worked and received a salary. How could others be happy when they saw such a scene?

Xu Ruyun also had a hand in this. Xu Ruyun knew that the Liao family would register Deng Manni's daughter under someone else's name. Even if it was registered under someone else's name, it was still Deng Manni's child, her own child. Xu Ruyun would not have allowed Deng Manni to work in the factory unless Deng Manni only gave birth to one child and not a second one.

Deng Manni herself wants to give birth to a second child for Liao Jiankai, so she can't blame anyone else.

After Deng Manni lost her job, Xu Ruyun did not have anyone watching her. Before that, Xu Ruyun did not keep watching her, she was just waiting for her to get pregnant with her second child.

The Liao family is not a pushover, they will definitely force Deng Manni to get pregnant again. Deng Manni and Liao Jiankai said it was a fake marriage at first, but it turned into a real marriage later. The Liao family can use this to argue, and Liao Jiankai can also say so.

Liao Jiankai himself is not a good person, not to mention that he had no love for Deng Manni when he was faking marriage with her. Liao Jiankai was obsessed with Xu Ruyun. What you can't get is always the best. When Liao Jiankai was dreaming, he also mentioned Xu Ruyun's name.

Deng Manni was more like a tool to give birth to a son in the Liao family. She also felt that as long as she gave birth to a son, the Liao family would treat her well.

When Xu Ruyun returned to the Xu family, she heard her mother talking about Deng Manni, saying that Deng Manni and Liao Jiankai had quarreled in public.

"It is like this. There is a difference between having a job and not having a job," said Xu Ruyun.

In the previous life, Xu Ruyun was a housewife and had no job. Liao Jiankai was with Deng Manni. Deng Manni also mocked Xu Ruyun for not having a job. The Liao family also said that Liao Jiankai just made a mistake that all men in the world would make. Liao's mother also liked Deng Manni very much. In this life, Xu Ruyun wants to let Deng Manni taste the sins she suffered in her previous life. It was Deng Manni herself who wanted to have a second child. It is not someone else's fault for getting rid of Deng Manni's job. This is the rule at this time. The choice between a second child and a job is the same.

Liao Jiankai was able to keep his job because the Liao family gave him gifts. The Liao family only wanted to keep Liao Jiankai, not Deng Manni. Deng Manni was sacrificed. In the eyes of the Liao family, women should stay at home and raise children. Men should be the breadwinners and women should be the homemakers. Women should not always show up in public to do things.

"Before, Deng Manni was so arrogant in front of me." Xu Ruyun said, "She always walked beside Liao Jiankai and said that they were just ordinary colleagues and asked me not to care so much."

"Liao Jiankai did not resign from the factory." said Xu's mother.

"Their family must have spent a lot of money." Xu Ruyun said.

"Yes, that's right." Xu's mother said, "During the quarrel, Deng Manni scratched Liao Jiankai's face."

"Liao Jiankai deserves it!" Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, you see, if I were with Liao Jiankai, I would be the one being criticized by the Liao family and quarreling with Liao Jiankai. Nothing would be good. Yan Yichen's mother was indeed not nice to me, but Yan Yichen is rich, much better than Liao Jiankai in any way. Yan Yichen gave me a house and valuable gifts, and those things are enough for me to live on for a long time."

"That's true. Liao Jiankai is much worse." said Xu's mother.

Su Xueqing listened to what Su Yanan said about Deng Manni. This circle is so small and people in the alley love gossip, so Su Yanan has heard a lot of those things.

"The Xu family said outside that the Liao family is just like that." Su Yanan said to Su Xueqing while sitting on the sofa.

Su Yanan brought the child over. She originally wanted to bring her daughter over, but her daughter was very naughty, and she was afraid that her daughter would bump into Su Xueqing, so she simply decided not to bring her.

"Now, the Xu family can find something to say about the Liao family." Su Yanan said, "What are you talking about arguing over a few dollars? Tsk tsk tsk, a few dollars can do a lot of things."

Su Yanan didn't think a few dollars was too little, in daily life, a few dollars could buy a lot of rice and noodles. Liao Jiankai, a grown man, didn't buy the firewood, rice, oil and salt, he just thought the money he gave was enough, and Deng Manni shouldn't ask him for money so often.

"It's not enough." Su Xueqing said, "I go to the Architectural Design Institute less often now, and the subsidy is less. Before, my teacher applied for a reward for me, and I saved all the reward for the drawings. I don't have to worry about the daily expenses at home. Yan Jing has money to buy vegetables for the servants every month, and he can buy better fruits. He will also pay for personal relationships, so I don't have to pay."

Ning Yanjing also gave money to Su Xueqing, and most of the money in the family was in Su Xueqing's hands.

"Although I don't manage those things, I also know that it costs a lot of money." Su Xueqing said, "Going out to eat, watching a movie, that's a lot. If you don't go out to play, just stay at home, you still have to eat and drink. Especially if you have children, if the children catch a cold or get sick, you have to spend a lot of money all of a sudden."

Su Xueqing hasn't given birth to a child yet, but she knows that raising a child costs a lot of money.

"Some men don't make much money themselves, but they don't want their families to think they make little money, so they criticize others." Su Xueqing said, "They say their wives don't know how to save. It's not a question of whether to save or not, it's that there is no way to save at all."

"We have three children, so we spend a lot of money." Su Yanan said, "Your second brother-in-law used to say that I spent too much money, but I asked him to take care of it himself, and he didn't dare to say anything. Now, the two of us often calculate the family expenses together, how much money we spend in a month, how much money we can save... Your second brother-in-law's salary is okay, but with three children, the pressure is also great. We want our children to get a better education. Some children also learn piano and dance, and all of these cost money. If it weren't for my mother-in-law's subsidy, it would really not work."

"If you don't have enough money, just tell me." Su Xueqing said, "I can still lend you some money, but not too much."

"No need." Su Yanan said, "You have to pay back the money you borrow. We should figure it out ourselves. If we borrow money to live now, what about in the future? Will we be able to borrow money to live in the future? Look at Yu Guochao and others. Don't they have to go out to work now?"

If Yu Guochao and his wife had realized the seriousness of the problem earlier and gone out to work earlier, they would not have resorted to loan sharking. Yu Guochao and his wife twisted a good path into a twisted one.

"You have to rely on yourself." Su Yanan said, "This is the only way to last long."

Xu Ruyun did not tell Yan Yichen about Liao Jiankai and Deng Manni. She and Liao Jiankai had no relationship at all. Xu Ruyun did not care about Liao Jiankai.

Xu Ruyun didn't care about Liao Jiankai, but Liao Jiankai cared about Xu Ruyun. When Liao Jiankai learned that Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen had not obtained a marriage certificate or a wedding, and had not been recognized by Yan's family, Liao Jiankai went to find Xu Ruyun. Xu Ruyun naturally didn't treat Liao Jiankai well, and she scolded Liao Jiankai harshly.

Even though he was scolded, Liao Jiankai still couldn't forget Xu Ruyun. He would always be troubled by what he couldn't get.

Deng Manni secretly resented Xu Ruyun very much. Xu Ruyun had a job and shares in a factory. Deng Manni thought that the Liao family must be very regretful because they were all thinking about the money in Xu Ruyun's hands.

"Do you think you can have that kind of money just because you are with Xu Ruyun? Is that money legitimate?" Deng Manni said in front of Liao Jiankai, "That's the money Xu Ruyun earned from selling her body! Thanks to your breakup, she can be with another man and make that kind of money!"

In late spring and summer, the weather was changeable, and Mrs. Su was not in good health and was hospitalized. Fortunately, after the infusion, there was no major problem. But it was obviously not appropriate for Wei Shanshan to continue living with Mrs. Su. The old lady was so old that she might have osteoporosis problems if she moved a little.

When Amelia Su went to the hospital to visit Old Lady Su, Mother Su said directly to Amelia Su, "Amelia Su, you have already bought a house, so you should take Shanshan back to live. Your grandma is old, and it is not good for her to live with Shanshan. I can help you pick up Shanshan from school and let her eat at home, but she has to live with you!"
