Chapter 322 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Because Lin Xiaoxia also understood Fang Lan'e's family affairs, she just needed to go back and tell Fang Lan'e about it. It was the 1990s, and marriage was not something the family could decide, so there was no need to worry too much.

Fang Lan'e is an adult and has bought a house. When she divorced, Lin Xiaoxia kept her household registration separately and did not move it back to her parents' home. Now that the house is bought, she just needs to move her household registration there in the next two days, and she will not have much connection with the Fang family anymore.

Aunt Fang Lan'e was very happy. She didn't expect that her child's job had been solved.

Of course, Lin Xiaoxia was not trying to be a pushover. Their store needed to recruit people. Besides, she had known her aunt Fang Lan'e for many years and she treated Fang Lan'e very well. This family was upright, so Lin Xiaoxia said those words just now.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Fang Lan'e, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen went to the door of Ai's house. Seeing a child passing by on the road, Lin Xiaoxia gave the child a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and asked the child to help call Ai Xiaoping out. She didn't want to enter the Ai's yard.

Soon Ai Xiaoping came out. She saw Lin Xiaoxia running over and said, "Sister, I was just about to call you. Ai Zhu seems to have gone to the city. She hasn't been home for the past two days. Dad doesn't know what she's doing and she won't tell me when I ask. But I'm afraid she'll cause trouble for you in the city."

Lin Xiaoxia said, "She went to the city, but don't worry about it. I know what's going on. How are you doing at school? Are you adapting?"

Ai Xiaoping said, "I'm doing well in school. Normally, I should be in the second year of junior high school, but my teacher said that if I want to take the entrance exam, I have to start from the first year, so they put me in the first year. However, there is only half a semester left in the first year. If my test scores are not good, I may have to repeat the grade."

"You should communicate more with the teacher and ask for his or her advice. After all, the teacher knows more than us. Tell me if you need anything. Is the money enough?"

"I have enough money, and I don't need anything else. Don't worry, sister. I will study hard."

"I trust you. Don't be stingy with your money. Buy some milk powder or something and leave it in the dormitory. Drink some every day."

"No need, sister, I'm in good health, and the food in the cafeteria is good too. I can eat my fill."

"Then don't be mean to yourself. You may not be able to eat anything at home, but in the dorm, no one will fight with you for it. Eat what you need. Don't be stingy with your money and take good care of yourself."

"Yeah." After saying that, Ai Xiaoping smiled bitterly: "Sister, I can't even let you sit for a while and drink some water or something. I owe you too much."

Lin Xiaoxia patted Ai Xiaoping on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about this. The child is still young, why think so much? Just study hard. If there is nothing else, I will go back. If you have anything, call me."

"I understand, sister. Sister, goodbye, brother-in-law." Ai Xiaoping said to the two of them.

Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen also said goodbye and returned to their hometown.

It is spring plowing time now, and the fields are full of hardworking farmers. Lin Xiaoxia likes to watch this kind of scenery, as if she is in a painting.

When we arrived in the village, we went to the new house first. The main structure of the new house had been built and the beams were almost put up. It looked very grand now.

Lu Guojiu is now filled with happiness and contentment. Who wouldn't be? Life was hard at home before, but now that they've built such a large factory and are planning to open one, he'd wake up laughing even in his dreams.

When he saw his son and daughter-in-law come back, he immediately introduced the progress of building the house to them.

It is expected that the beams will be put up in mid-June, the building will be completed before July, and then the equipment will be purchased, and construction will start around the end of August.

As they were talking, several villagers who were going to farm came over to talk to Lu Guojiu before going back to work in the fields. Lu Guojiu is now a well-known figure in the village.

After a while, Li Shaofen also came over. She was not making snacks today, so she came here to see if she could do some odd jobs. She was a person who could not sit still.

While Lin Xiaoxia was talking to her parents-in-law, Lu Jingshen drove to a nearby convenience store and bought a few boxes of soda for the workers. If you are nice to them, they will naturally work more attentively.

After talking for a while, Lin Xiaoxia accompanied Li Shaofen to the street to buy meat and vegetables.

They chatted as they walked, saying that Zhang Tingting and Lu Jingxue wanted to divorce, but the police station refused to do so, saying that divorce was not allowed during pregnancy.

Lin Xiaoxia asked in confusion, "Keeping the child, but getting a divorce? Does that mean Zhang Tingting plans to raise the child on her own in the future?"

Li Shaofen shook her head. "I don't know what happened. They didn't tell us about their family affairs. It's only because they made such a big fuss that the neighbors all knew about it and spread it around."

Lin Xiaoxia sighed: "Zhang Tingting was able to protect the fetus before. After all this trouble, this child is lucky."

Li Shaofen said, "That's right. Apart from anything else, this child is really pitiful."

"In the past, they had to hire laborers to farm. This year, my uncle is too busy to work in the fields, and Lu Jingxue isn't a hard worker either. What's going to happen to their land?"

"It seems they are hired people. Their family saved some money in the past few years. Although your aunt has spent a lot, she probably still has some money left over."

"Well, their family lived well before, but if they continue to live like this, it will be difficult in the future."

"By the way, have you visited your grandma in the city? Didn't your aunt want a divorce before? Did she succeed?"

"We haven't visited my grandma recently. To be honest, we really don't like talking to her. I heard from Jingxin that my grandma and my aunt quarrel all the time. I feel that my uncle and aunt can get divorced."

"Hey, your grandma... she's too overbearing. Now your uncle is in the wrong first, and she's arguing with your aunt instead of trying to reconcile. What do you think your uncle will do after the divorce at his age?"

"Hey, if my grandma could have figured this out, she wouldn't have made things so difficult for you and my dad, and she wouldn't have forced my aunt to leave, leading to this situation. If she keeps making trouble, her later years won't be easy."

"I'm actually a little scared. I'm afraid that your grandma will come to our house in the end. It's not that I don't want to be filial to the elderly, I'm just really afraid of her."

"Mom, I don't think so. My grandma can't leave my uncle. If he gets divorced, she'll have to cook and wash clothes for him. And my grandma is even more afraid to come to our house. She didn't know how to do it before. Even if my grandma really comes to our house one day, it will probably be when she is not able to move around and no one will take care of her. Then we can hire someone to serve her. You still have to be busy with your career, and there will be plenty of excuses not to serve her personally. Besides, she will have to take care of my children in a few years."

Listening to Lin Xiaoxia's words, Li Shaofen smiled: "That's right, I have to take care of the child for you. When do you plan to have a child?"

"Wait a little longer. I haven't received the admission notice for night university yet. I have to make sure I pass the exam before getting pregnant. Otherwise, if I don't pass, being pregnant will affect my studies."

"I think you're guaranteed to pass the exam, but you guys should take care of the child yourself. Anyway, if you get pregnant, I'll do nothing but take care of you."

"Actually, I'm young and don't need any help. We'll see how the situation develops later." Lin Xiaoxia said. In fact, she hadn't thought about it so much before. To be honest, if she got pregnant and gave birth now, neither Li Shaofen nor Huang Wanxia would have time to take care of her.

Huang Wanxia will retire in two years, and Li Shaofen will be busy with the factory opening.

However, I can still hire a nanny, but the current house is too small and the nanny has no place to live. How about waiting until I buy a bigger house in the fall to think about having a baby?
