When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 713 Complaints (Page 1/2)
Song Jingjing looked at her father-in-law's departing back, her heart filled with surprise and anger.
She never expected that her father-in-law would be so irresponsible as to send the child to her and then turn around and leave without saying a word, without even leaving a word of concern.
What should I do?
The house is not big to begin with, and with so many children suddenly appearing, where is the extra space for them to sleep?
As night fell and it was time to go to bed, Song Jingjing had to rack her brains to find a way to accommodate the children.
Finally, after some thought, she decided to let Huang Lianying take her daughter Huo Yingzi to sleep in her eldest son Huo Yichen's bed.
Her two sons were put to sleep on a small bed in their own room.
As for the twin daughters who were still breastfeeding, they had to sleep in the big bed with the couple.
After everything was settled, Song Jingjing lay on the bed, gently nudged Huo Qingyan beside her, and whispered, "Qingyan, when Dad came today, he specifically told us something.
He told me to ask my sister-in-law where she had her bunk beds made. I figured we'd go and ask tomorrow when we had some free time.
After all, we have more and more children in our family now, so we have to consider buying a few more beds. Otherwise, no one will have a good sleep if things go on like this."
After saying that, Song Jingjing sighed softly, looked at Huo Qingyan intently, and prayed silently in her heart that the days ahead would be smoother.
Huo Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Dad is right. We have too many children. We should indeed have someone make another bunk bed. From now on, let Sister Huang and Zizi sleep on the lower bunk, Chenchen sleeps in the shop, and Feifei sleeps on the small bed in our room."
When we no longer need a nanny, let Chenchen and Feifei sleep on the lower bunk, and Zizi sleep on the upper bunk. Yanyan and Ranran sleep on the small bed in our room."
Song Jingjing sighed heavily, her face full of worry, and finally couldn't help but started complaining:
"I'm telling you, you're a squadron leader after all, so why can you only get this small one-bedroom apartment when the housing is allocated..." She said, shaking her head helplessly.
Hearing his wife's complaints, Huo Qingyan felt a little unhappy, but he still patiently explained:
"It's great to be able to get a house. How many people are looking forward to having such a house!
Our one-bedroom apartment isn't big, but it's not too small either. We can easily fit two beds in the room, and there's still some space for a small wardrobe."
However, Song Jingjing was obviously not satisfied with this explanation. She curled her lips and retorted, "I don't care about that. I just feel more comfortable living in a courtyard house.
Just think about it, that place is so spacious, and it is very convenient to do anything you want.
There are only seven or eight people in my mother's family, but there are more than ten rooms, so everyone can easily have a room of their own.
It’s nothing like our family now. Seven of us are squeezed into this one-bedroom apartment and it’s difficult to even turn around.
Besides, the house is cluttered with things everywhere, it's a mess, and it's really upsetting to look at." Speaking of this, Song Jingjing couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Huo Qingyan also became angry, and he responded unhappily: "Since you know that the house is a mess, why don't you clean it up yourself!
Don't just talk all the time without taking any real action. Look at my sister-in-law's family. They have a lot of children, but they can keep the house tidy and clean."

Seeing Huo Qingyan comparing her with her sister-in-law again, Song Jingjing was really angry.
"Huo Qingyan, your sister-in-law doesn't have to nurse the kids, and she also has to go to work. She has plenty of time to clean the house. I have to take care of two nursing kids by myself. How do you expect me to do that? I can't even cook a meal with two kids by myself."
"My mom always straps the baby to her back and takes him to work. Now that Sister Huang is here, could you at least take some time to clean up the house?"
"Since we're paying for a nanny, we should let her do the work."
Huo Qingyan fell silent, closed his eyes and began to sleep. Song Jingjing kept muttering to herself, not afraid that Huang Lianying, who was sleeping in the living room, would hear her.
Song Jingjing kept talking, her lips almost cracked from talking, but unexpectedly, when she finally stopped to take a breath, she heard a slight snoring sound coming from beside her.
She turned her head and saw that Huo Qingyan had fallen asleep at some point, sleeping soundly.
Song Jingjing shook her head helplessly, and her eyes fell on the two lovely girls beside her who she had carefully moved to the inside of the bed.
Looking at them sleeping peacefully, her heart ached, and soon her thoughts returned to Huo Qingyan.
Song Jingjing thought to herself, could it be that Huo Qingyan has no appeal to me at all now?
Ever since her period began, they hadn't had sex for at least half a month, which was quite unusual for a couple in their prime years who were deeply in love.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Song Jingjing's mind: Could it be that something is wrong with Huo Qingyan's health?
Her father-in-law was fifty years old and still full of energy when he gave birth to her sister-in-law, but her husband is only thirty years old this year and he is no longer able to do so. This is really hard for her to accept.
No, after the bed is booked, she will ask Huo Qingyan to go to the hospital. She is still young and doesn't want to be a widow.
After the children started school, Lin Man finally had some free time of her own.
Every morning, when the sun just rises and the children happily go to school with their schoolbags on their backs, Lin Man will simply tidy up the house and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat and daily necessities.
When she got home, she gently locked the door and sneaked into the space.
In the past two days, Lin Man has been focusing on the cultivation of high-end orchids in the spiritual field.
She grafted the original orchid buds from the Liu Mansion onto the orchid mother plant dug out from Huo Qingci's space, and then planted it in the spiritual field, waiting for it to produce seeds to see if she could cultivate top-quality orchids.
With the reform and opening up soon, the retired old man who usually has nothing to do will definitely start growing flowers and walking birds when he has nothing to do.
By then, the orchid business will surely be extremely hot. Orchids have been hyped from the 1980s to the 1990s, so she must seize this opportunity.
Open a high-end flower shop on Wangfujing Street in advance, and wait for the orchid craze to come to make a fortune.
On this day, Lin Man came to the spiritual field as usual to check the growth of the orchids.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she discovered the pot of the latest cultivated Clivia, with slender and upright leaves, emerald green, as if carved from jade.
The flowers are gorgeous, the petals are layered, and they exude an enchanting fragrance. This pot of Clivia is simply a flawless work of art!
Lin Man was secretly delighted. For an orchid of this quality, was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to sell it at a good price?
