Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Wang Haiyan choked in her heart,…

Ning Shixia ran back to the room and picked up the phone: "Dad, my brother went to the street to buy roast duck. We are having roast duck at home today. Do you have roast duck over there?"

Knowing that their son was not there, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming understood everything.

Ning Shaoming teased her deliberately: "Mom and Dad don't have roast duck here, we only have rice and vegetables every day."

Ning Shixia felt so sorry for her parents after hearing this. She and her brother could occasionally eat roast duck at home, and pork every now and then, but her parents only had rice and vegetables to eat.

"I'll buy it for you when you come back," Ning Shixia suddenly lowered her voice and whispered her little secret to them, "I secretly saved ten dollars, which is enough to buy half a duck. Then my brother and I won't eat the duck legs anymore, we'll give them all to you and mom!"

The two chatted with their daughter for a long time until the money on the phone card ran out. Their son had not returned yet, so they said they would call home another day and hung up.

After hanging up the phone, the couple looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh together, feeling indescribable.

Children are indeed like a blank piece of paper. If they don't guard this blank piece of paper and don't draw on it in time, it is possible that others will take advantage of the opportunity and scribble on it.

Zhao Ruyue stood up and let Ning Shaoming continue to occupy the seat: "I'll go buy another phone card."

Ning Shaoming asked, "It's getting late, why don't we go have dinner first? We can call back later, the two children and my parents will definitely be home."

He wanted to ask his parents how they could let his sister-in-law say such things in front of the children!

Zhao Ruyue shook her head: "No, my family will call back in two days. I will go buy another phone card and call my family later."

Her mother's home and the Ning family's home are on another street in the same town.

The Zhao family lives on Xiaoqiao Street and the Ning family lives on Daqiao Street. The two families are located exactly at the junction of the two streets, with a straight-line distance of no more than 40 meters.

Ning Shaoming thought she wanted to call her family and ask them to go home and take a look. He also warned her sister-in-law: "Your mother might as well go home and take a look. Your sister-in-law has gone too far this time. How could she teach a child to say that? I wonder if she also talks nonsense to the child normally!"

But Zhao Ruyue had no intention of letting her mother speak. "We have no evidence, and my sister-in-law won't admit it. With her temper, she doesn't care whether it's right or wrong. As long as we're not around, she will think the child is easy to bully, and she will definitely run to the doorstep and make a scene, yelling at the neighbors. She might even turn the tables and say that it was the child who talked nonsense. It would be bad if the child was scared."

If Zhao Ruyue was at home, she would not be afraid of her. After all, her parents' home was close, she was confident, and she was not a soft persimmon. Ning Shaoming was on her side, and she had never lost to her sister-in-law before.

The bad thing is that she is not at home and cannot influence the family affairs, and her family members cannot interfere in the affairs of her husband's family.

Zhao Ruyue continued, "We just hung up the phone here, and you called my parents' house to ask my mom to come over. It seems like we're looking for trouble. My parents' house doesn't have a phone, so we have to call the street store or my third uncle's house. There are many people in these two places, and by then, this matter may be spread to everyone on the street. Your parents may not be happy about it. It's a family secret that will be exposed in public."

Ning Shaoming: "That's right..."

In fact, Zhao Ruyue was more worried that if this matter was talked about by people in the town, the children would be criticized, and they would definitely be caught and questioned wherever they went.

Regardless of whether those who ask the questions have good intentions or bad intentions, it is not pleasant for children. No one likes to be caught and asked the same question over and over again.

The eldest sister-in-law is the elder and naturally suppresses the younger ones. When her own children are deliberately embarrassed, the children probably don’t know what is going on.

When their parents are not around, their children are bullied for nothing and cannot express their pain in silence.

By the time they go back for the Spring Festival, so much time has passed that the event is no longer useful.

She planned to take a roundabout way and ask about her son's family situation: "My sister's youngest son should be having a full-month banquet soon. I'll call her and ask her to call my mother and ask her to bring Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia to the banquet and ask them to represent us. I'll call back on the day of the banquet and ask Xiaoqiu in detail."

Only when his son talked to Ning Shaoming in person could he understand that the matter was more serious than he had imagined.

Her family is tight-lipped, her younger sister didn't marry nearby, and her husband's family is far away from Rongxi Town.

When the call got to that end, others who heard that she was calling her younger sister would just think that she was calling back specifically to say hello to her sister who had just come out of confinement.

My son is precocious, and I should be able to get some information out of him if I ask him carefully.

Only when he was out of the reach of his in-laws did the son dare to tell the truth. Otherwise, every time he called home, his parents-in-law, his elder brother and sister-in-law, and even the neighbors would be listening.

Would your child dare to complain if he or she was wronged?

All I can do is tell them that everything is fine at home so that they can rest assured.

My daughter is young, and she dares to say anything. But because she is too young, she is unaware of many things, so she doesn’t dare to say what she knows, and doesn’t know what she dares to say.

Ning Shixia hung up the phone happily and left her aunt's room.

I walked into the main room and saw my aunt, who rarely stayed by the phone, sitting by the fire while she listened to the call.

Ning Shixia ran over to her cheerfully and told her, "Aunt, my dad said on the phone that he will buy me a skateboard and a bicycle for my brother when he comes back for the New Year!"

Wang Haiyan said with an exaggerated "Oh my" expression: "Your father is so rich! Did he tell you what to buy for you, Brother Shichun and Sister Danping?"

"I forgot to ask," Ning Shixia scratched his head in annoyance, "My mother said she would wait for my brother in a few days, and she called back. I will ask for you then."

"Okay, but you can't say you're asking for me. Your brother Shichun and sister Danping are your brothers and sisters. They're always so nice to you. You should take the initiative to talk to your parents and buy them something to thank them for their care."

Ning Shixia nodded in confusion.

Wang Haiyan saw that this little girl was easy to fool, so she coaxed her and asked, "Have you asked your mother why you don't work overtime when you go to work in the factory?"

Ning Shixia: “I asked.”

"What did your mother say?" Wang Haiyan was secretly happy when she heard this. It would not be good for her to let the child say those words and use the child's mouth to hurt Zhao Ruyue's heart, but she just couldn't stand Zhao Ruyue's pretentious and squeamish look.

However, when she heard Ning Shixia's next words, she immediately stopped laughing.

"My mother didn't say anything. My father said that he can earn money and my mother doesn't need to work overtime." Ning Shixia thought about it seriously, but still couldn't repeat his father's words verbatim.

She only remembered the general meaning and said it in her own words: "My dad can make money now, so my mom should take a break. It's better for her to rest more. More rest can help her take good care of her health."

Wang Haiyan was very depressed: "She has two children to raise, why should she take a break?"

Ning Shixia: "Didn't I just say that my dad can make money?"

Ning Shaoming didn't tell his family about his job change, so Wang Haiyan thought he was still working in the washing machine factory. "How much does your father make a month? Can he compare to other couples who both make over a thousand?"

Ning Shixia spread his hands honestly: "I don't know, I didn't ask."

Wang Haiyan suspected that this girl was deliberately trying to irritate her. She felt a breath stuck in her heart, unable to spit it out or swallow it down, and felt very uncomfortable.

She paused and was about to ask Ning Shixia what good things her parents brought back for the New Year.

If there were any good, high-end items, she could make plans early and bring a few back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of Ning Shiqiu coming in with a plastic bag of roast duck, and immediately shut his mouth.
