Chapter 400: Let the mother-in-law not care.

Aunt Mao was stumped by Yao Zhizhi's question. To be honest, she was not familiar with Wang Dengdi.

If the two families were ordinary neighbors, they would get along better. However, because of the relationship between Mao Ling and Kong Badou, the two families were destined not to get along well.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Kong Badou’s job. Who doesn’t know that it was given by Aunt Mao?

Neighbors often say that one should be grateful to the person who has helped him, and one should be grateful to the person who has helped him. What’s more, Kong Badou was once Aunt Mao’s son-in-law?

If brother Wang Deng had any self-respect, he would not have been too involved with the Mao family.

So over the years, Aunt Mao and Wang Dengdi have hardly spoken to each other.

Aunt Mao could only ask Yao Zhizhi for help: "Good child, how about you ask for me? I am disliked by others because of my identity."

Yao Zhizhi didn't want to get involved and refused: "Aunt Mao, I really don't have time for this. I still have to go to the factory to check on it. The publishing house also has something to ask me. I'm busy."

Aunt Mao's eyes dimmed instantly. She knew that she had troubled the other person so many times and she really shouldn't bring it up again. But she really had no other choice. Forget it. If it really didn't work, she would wait until Lao Tang came back from get off work.

Aunt Mao went back with a long sigh. Yao Zhizhi looked at her back and naturally felt sympathy, but that was all.

She closed the door and went to bed.

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Over the years, she has been grateful for Aunt Mao's kindness and has given back a lot. However, Mao Ling and Mao Dan are ungrateful people who cannot be tamed. She will not waste her time on such people anymore.

When they had dinner in the evening, Tang Fengyuan didn't come back, and Yao Zhizhi didn't think much about it. After all, the water police station was far away, and if there was a case, it was common to work overtime until midnight.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

However, Yao Zhizhi still planned to do something, so she discussed it with Qi Changxiao: "I want to ask someone to see if there are any channels to buy a car, and then buy one for our mother. This way, she won't have to worry about going to get off work in the wind or rain."

Qi Changxiao had no objection. Although the couple had been attending college in recent years, they had not been idle in their spare time.

Yao Zhizhi's novels and Qi Changxiao's illustrations are both sought-after works by major publishing houses.

The couple usually didn't have much money to spend. They saved all their royalties, so not only could they buy a car, they could even build an auto trade city with full payment.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll buy one for my mother-in-law too. She has four children to pick up, so it would be more convenient for her to get a driver's license. It would be a good opportunity for two mothers to learn together."

Yao Zhizhi was happy. This was a good arrangement.

She quickly called her third brother and explained the current dilemma to him.

In short, although reform and opening up have been implemented, many trade orders are subject to quotas - this was an era when the planned economy still dominated and the market economy was trying to emerge.

During this transition period, the country's biggest concession was the dual-track pricing system, which means that the planned economy and the market economy ran in parallel.

However, in the trading of some bulk commodities, the planned economy still dominates.

Cars are naturally bulk commodities. If they are imported, they need to obtain the foreign trade quota for that year. If they are domestically produced, they also need to obtain the corresponding quota.

One word to sum it up: trouble.

However, Yao Weihua was quick-witted and offered a very creative suggestion: "I'll drive back in a few days. When I come back, I'll use the excuse that my car broke down and ask you to help me find someone to fix it. That way, your mother-in-law and our mother will have a car to drive."

Yes! This is a good idea!

Moreover, Third Brother is now a Hong Kong businessman. Even if he comes to the mainland to buy these things, he still has special preferential policies, not to mention that he bought them directly in Hong Kong and drove them here. The planned economy and indicators have no effect on him at all.

Yao Zhizhi smiled brightly: "Brother, how can you be so smart? You make me look so stupid!"

"You're still stupid? Oh my God, someone please take care of this guy!" Yao Weihua complained with a smile, "It's really unreasonable. A college student is pretending to be stupid in front of me! I haven't even been to college, so I'm even more stupid!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Yao Zhizhi quickly surrendered. After a moment of silence, he asked seriously, "Brother, you said there was a way for you to go to college over there?"

"I'm too lazy to go." Yao Weihua looked indifferent. He could earn a lot of money anyway, and academic qualifications were just icing on the cake.

Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but be curious: "Why, from what you said, there is a university willing to accept you?"

Yao Weihua smiled and said, "Yes, at the beginning of the year, I donated a building to the school here. If I want to go, I can just ask a question."

“Why donate a building?”

"Do you think I have too much money to burn? It's all for my second sister to live a peaceful life. Xiaoqian offended the principal's son, and the principal came to me for an explanation, so I simply donated a building to silence him."

"She's already in college? Not so fast, right?"

"No, she was in a relationship with a Renmin University student, but she eventually got bored with him and dumped him. The boy was so upset that he attempted suicide. When his parents came to me to settle the score, I realized how capable this girl was. She had the principal's son in her corner."

"She's playing with people's feelings?"

"Really? There were seven or eight of them hanging at once, from middle school students to university students, and even those in society. I can't believe it, these kids are so daring nowadays."

"..." Yao Zhizhi was speechless and asked, "Does my brother-in-law know about this?"

"My brother-in-law knows, but he called Xiaoqian, but she didn't answer. She didn't want to listen to his nagging, so there was nothing I could do. As for me, I'm not her uncle, so it's not easy for me to control her too strictly. Anyway, I don't give her too much money."

Yao Zhizhi felt a little headache. She never expected that Yang Xiaoqian would pick up a lot of bad habits soon after entering this colorful world.

She could only warn him, "Be careful, brother. You and her are not related by blood, and she's already in a relationship. It's not appropriate for her to live with you. Why don't you buy two villas next to each other and be her neighbor?"

Yao Weihua smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. She and I already live separately. Otherwise, if she kept wearing a bikini and walking around me, I'd really get a headache."

Yao Zhizhi didn't want to talk about that annoying kid anymore, so she simply changed the subject: "When will you be back?"

"Let's see the weather. If there are no typhoons in the near future, we should be able to arrive before the end of the month."

"Okay, then I'll clean up the riverside villa."

"No, I just like living in the small courtyard. No need to bother."

"I'd better pack up. My eldest brother's kids are on summer vacation now. They haven't seen you in a while. If you come back, I'll let them spend the summer at my place."

"Okay, you arrange it. Anyway, I have to stay in the courtyard for two days."

"I understand, brother. I'll change the bed mat for you."

"Okay, that's it. I'll take Lu Henian back, and we'll each drive a car. You quickly think of a solution. If it doesn't work, ask Uncle Ning to save his face and borrow a car so that the two mothers can learn to drive."

"Okay, then I'll sleep with you, bro."

"Good night, little sister!"

"Good night, bro!"

"Hahaha, just keep being mean!"

Yao Zhizhi hung up the phone with a smile, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

When I woke up from a nap, it was already 10:30 at night. I didn’t know if my mother-in-law had come back yet. There was still half a watermelon hanging in the well left for her.

Yao Zhizhi got up and tugged at the light cord. She yawned and woke Qi Changxiao up. "Go see if our mom is back and give her the watermelon."

"Oh." Qi Changxiao also went to bed early today. He knew that his wife wanted to avoid the disputes in the Mao family, and was happy to have a Zhou Gong together.

I got up now and just went to check on my mother.

He left Yao Zhizhi at home to look after the baby, and went to the front with a watermelon. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. He peeked through the crack in the door and found that the yard was pitch black.

Qi Changxiao had a hunch that something was wrong, so he quickly went to the police station to inquire. Although his mother no longer worked there, if there was any case that required overtime work today, perhaps his old colleagues here would have heard about it.

Xiao Jin yawned and looked at him: "Don't you know? The old director went to the hospital to look for Kong Badou. Don't glare at me like that. I'm not talking nonsense. Aunt Mao pestered her to go there. My boyfriend happened to be bringing me a midnight snack at that time and saw it."

Qi Changxiao didn't have time to wonder who Xiao Jin's partner was, so he quickly asked, "What time did you go?"

"It was around 8:40. I heard from my boyfriend that Aunt Mao was guarding the entrance of the alley. The old director couldn't hide even if he wanted to." Xiao Jin felt a little sympathetic towards Director Tang. He had been transferred and no longer worked here, but he still had to deal with the mess in the alley.

It's a chaos that can't be avoided, and trivial matters that can't be shaken off.

It would be better to be a criminal policeman. It’s a pity that he has worked so hard for so long but has no chance to make any meritorious service. Alas.

Just as he was feeling emotional, Xiao Jin looked up and found that Qi Changxiao had already left like a gust of wind.

Those long legs are so enviable.

*

Qi Changxiao returned home and quickly called Yao Zhizhi: "Hurry, come with me to find Kong Badou, our mother was called to the hospital by Aunt Mao."

What? Yao Zhizhi was a little angry. Aunt Mao was really something. She didn't even think about how hard and tiring it was for a director.

Even if you have been a neighbor for many years, you can't treat people like a donkey like this. A donkey needs to breathe!

They hurried to Qi Tiao Hutong to call Comrade Lao Yao to come and accompany the child. The couple rode their bicycles and rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

By then, Yao Zhizhi's anger disappeared.

Why? Because Aunt Mao had already knelt before Wang Dengdi in order to win his forgiveness.

At this moment, all the desperate attempts of the old mother to find a cure were forgiven because of her bent knee.

Poor parents in the world!

However!

It is such a loving mother who would spoil Mao Ling to the point where she doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!

Of course, Yao Zhizhi also understood that Aunt Mao was only focusing on this precious daughter, so she naturally couldn't bear to beat or scold her, and couldn't bear to stand by and watch.

But as the old saying goes, spoiling a child is like killing him!

What I mean is that unrestrained pampering will only make children ignorant of the immensity of the world and lead them down a path of no return.

Although Yao Zhizhi could forgive Aunt Mao for bothering her mother-in-law late at night, she could not forgive Aunt Mao for doting and indulging Mao Ling.

Every time something goes wrong, Aunt Mao is the one who cleans up the mess. If this continues, Mao Ling will never grow up.

Instead of this, it is better to be cruel and let the mother-in-law not interfere, so that Mao Ling can learn a lesson, so as to avoid causing greater trouble in the future and leaving Aunt Mao helpless in her old age.

Yao Zhizhi walked forward with a cold face, took Tang Fengyuan's arm, and said firmly: "Mom, don't worry about them, let's go!"
