Chapter 143: Being abandoned is what you deserve

Grandma Si added a spoonful of chicken soup to Su Nian and said with a smile, "Why would you object? Nian Nian is so outstanding, it would be a good thing for her to learn more skills. Just arrange your time properly and don't burden my granddaughter-in-law. If you need help with anything at home, just ask."

Baby—Who am I? Where am I? Have I been forgotten?

The old lady paused, then asked with concern, "As for the baby, do you plan to give birth abroad, or wait until after the birth? Anyway, no matter which one, your grandma has prepared red envelopes!"

Baby—finally, I'm mentioned! I also get an appearance fee!

Zhang Minghua then took over the conversation, his tone gentle but firm: "If you decide to give birth abroad, Ah Yan will go with you to take care of you. Don't even think about slacking off. If you go abroad after giving birth, we will help Ah Yan take care of the child. You can focus on your studies and come back more often when you have time."

At this time, Si Guoqing looked at Si Yan, his tone full of seriousness, "Think carefully about what your mother said. Oh, Yan, you have to keep improving too. Nian Nian is getting better and better, and you can't fall behind, otherwise you will be left behind and abandoned in the future. You deserve it!"

What Si Guoqing wants to express is: If you don’t strive for progress, you will be “optimized out”!

"Dad—how could I..." Su Nian spoke hurriedly, but was interrupted by her mother-in-law with a smile.

"We know. We just want to scare him and make you two work hard together. If you want to roll up, you should roll up together! Our family doesn't accept the idea of ​​one person lying down while the other fights hard." Zhang Minghua said with a smile, his eyes full of love.

Is this the main theme of "husband and wife are of one mind and have fun together"?

When Si Yan heard this, he thought to himself, "Are these my real parents? How come they just adopted me and don't even expect anything good from me?"

On the surface, he nodded: "Don't worry!"

Grandpa Si nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "That's good. Husband and wife should make progress together, so that their lives can become more and more prosperous. Don't be like me and your grandmother, one can only play chess and the other complain, and we have nothing in common!

Hearing this, Su Nian smiled, and suddenly her eyes turned red again.

If it were another family, and they wanted to study abroad right after giving birth to a child, they would probably have been pointed at and accused of being "irresponsible". But she happened to meet such an understanding family - how could she have deserved such a blessing!

"Why are you still crying?" Si Yan quickly hugged her in his arms, his fingertips gently rubbing her tears, his tone a mixture of pain and laughter, "Is it true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years? How come your tear point has become lower just because you're pregnant?"

"I just feel... that I am too happy." Su Nian wiped her tears, her voice a little choked.

"Silly girl, it's too early to talk about happiness now!" Zhang Minghua joked with a smile and quietly handed over a tissue.

Fearing that visibility would be poor while driving at night, the two elderly people urged the young couple to take the prepared food and return to their home in Jinghuayuan in the evening.

At night, Si Guoqing and Zhang Minghua were still talking about their son and daughter-in-law.

Si Guoqing said, "I absolutely support my child studying abroad." He then changed the subject, his tone a little concerned, "But tell me, at this critical moment, can they really arrange for the birth and raising of a baby?"

Zhang Minghua glared at him: "You still don't believe our son? Besides, what do we do?!"

She paused, thinking back to the past. "When I gave birth to Ah Yan, I had to focus on work and didn't take much care of him. Thanks to my family, especially my mother, didn't I raise him smoothly?"

"And me, wife. I've been the one taking care of Ah Yan the most since he was little." Si Guoqing's boastful tone made me want to laugh. "Changing diapers, making milk, putting him to sleep... in which way am I not an expert?"

"Your son is already thirty years old, and you're trying to steal my credit?! Isn't it your responsibility to take care of your own son?" Zhang Minghua rolled his eyes. "Soon, you'll have to take care of your grandson too! It's just so good that you're a skilled worker and can start working without any training. If you do a good job, I'll give you credit!"

"Okay! I'll take care of them! I like taking care of children!" Si Guoqing has a strong desire to survive.

Seeing his wife like this, Zhang Minghua couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't run away! Who would give you a grade if I ran away?"

She sighed again, "Think about it, Nian Nian is so much younger than A Yan, and she's such an outstanding person. She should have been studying hard, but she was inexplicably pregnant. It's already unfair. Now she has the opportunity to study abroad, how can we stop her? We can't let people accuse our Si family of 'only expanding our population but not our hearts', right?"

Si Guoqing looked at her and said, "That's true! Thank you. This family is supported by you."

Zhang Minghua changed the subject and joked with a smile, "Isn't your investment company's dividend due at the end of the year? Don't forget to hand it over when the time comes."

Si Guoqing quickly responded: "Don't worry, you can't escape!"

Over here at Chen Ran's house in Wanjing International, yesterday's sour oranges have finally turned sweet. Chen Ran is peeling them for Su Hong to eat with a serious expression.

Su Hong took advantage of this "sweet opportunity" to calmly start a conversation with Chen Ran.

"I'm telling you, from now on, when you talk to the kids, especially your son-in-law Si Yan, don't always start showing off your wealth, as if you have tons of it. We're a family that's here to live, not to hold a 'wealth forum.'"

"What do you mean?" Chen Ran asked in confusion.

"Not only is your daughter holding all of her son-in-law's money, but when they got their marriage certificate, mother-in-law gave them several boxes of valuable jewelry and a living allowance. I also gave all the one million yuan in betrothal gifts from the Si family to Nian Nian, not keeping a single cent!"

"The Si family... is not bad." Chen Ran said reluctantly, but he didn't stop eating oranges.

"Not bad?! That's pretty good! I mean, your daughter is now an invisible 'little rich woman', and you're still sending her money all the time!"

"Well, but compared to the empire I built for her, it's not bad." Chen Ran had an expression that said "I'm still slightly better."

"Chen Ran, you old Versailles! Why can't I explain it to you clearly?" Su Hong was so angry that she wanted to throw orange peels at him. "Did you ask clearly about the clothes purchase yesterday? Why are you giving your son-in-law such a bad face?"

"I just think he's not paying enough attention to Nian Nian! I don't mean anything else!"

"Hmph, then you wouldn't turn around and angrily transfer the money, would you? Is this what you call 'using money to create a sense of presence'?" Su Hong rolled her eyes almost to the ceiling.

"Well... I was wrong about this." Chen Ran admitted his mistake quickly and with a good attitude like a model student.

"Before you came back, the Si family was much better off than us, but they didn't look down on us. As soon as you showed up, they either sent money or bought houses for us. You even showed your disdain for the wedding house your son-in-law prepared—I felt embarrassed!"

"I'm afraid your daughter hasn't told Si Yan about your house purchase yet. I guess she hasn't even seen it. Think about it, think about it carefully."

"I just want my daughter to live a better life. Is that wrong?" Chen Ran's voice gradually became weaker, and he was obviously lacking confidence.
