"When you go to the capital, you won't just have to bring Xi'en and Qing'en, but also Shui'en and Mu'en. How are you going to take care of four such young children? I, I don't really support you going."
"Yeah, Hongmian, you can't take care of four children by yourself. If you leave them at home, at least you have me, your dad, and your grandparents to help you. Wouldn't that be much easier for you?"
"Yes, granddaughter-in-law, although grandma is old, she can still look after your two children at home. Why do you have to go so far and suffer?"
Duan Donglin, Wang Zhaodi and Grandma all disagreed with Gao Hongmian's proposal.
Only Mr. Duan and Duan Jiaxing did not express their opinions.
While they were talking, Shen Xiaobei quickly digested Gao Hongmian's proposal and felt that with Gao Hongmian in Jingshi, no matter what, it would definitely be much more reassuring.
Then he said, "Grandma, Mom, Big Brother, I agree that Big Sister-in-law should go to Beijing to take care of the child."
"But it's definitely too much for my sister-in-law to take care of four children alone, and it's not convenient. I will still hire a nanny when the time comes. I've earned some royalties from writing books in recent years, so hiring a good nanny won't be a problem."
"Also... there's something not too big or too small that I've been hiding from you and Xichuan. It seems like now is the time to reveal it to you."
"Ah? Xiaobei, what's going on?"
"Girl, what are you hiding from me?"
Duan Xichuan and everyone turned their eyes to Shen Xiaobei, all looking a little nervous, worried that something bad might happen.
Seeing them so nervous, Shen Xiaobei smiled.
He reassured them, "Don't worry, this is not a bad thing, it's a good thing."
"Xichuan, big brother and sister-in-law, parents, grandparents, I actually bought a house in Beijing a long time ago, and it's quite large. So when big sister-in-law comes over to take care of the children, we don't have to rent someone else's house, but can live in our own home!"
"Ah? Really, Xiaobei? You actually bought a house in Jing City. When did that happen?"
"Girl, I didn't even know about such a big thing!"
"I'm sorry, I was afraid of shocking you, so I didn't know how to tell you."
"Sister-in-law, I bought that house when Xichuan was studying in Beijing. I went to visit him and bought it. It's a quadrangle courtyard, about 400 square meters, with many rooms. Not only us, but even if grandpa and grandma, parents, and Beihai come over, there will be enough space for them to live in!"
"Really? Oh, Xiaobei, that's great!"
"You know, I've actually been secretly thinking about taking the two kids and going to Beijing with Donglin. But I was embarrassed to say it because I was worried about having to find and rent a house there, which would be troublesome and expensive."
Gao Hongmian was the most surprised to hear that Shen Xiaobei had bought a courtyard house in Beijing.
She and Duan Donglin had been married for many years and had always had a good relationship. The thought of being separated from him for four years made her feel very reluctant.
But there was no other way. For the future of their small family, she had to convince herself to make a choice.
Now that Shen Xiaobei has a house in Beijing, the problems that worried her have been solved.
When the elders of the Duan family heard what Shen Xiaobei had said publicly, they all smiled.
They never expected that their second daughter-in-law and second grandson's daughter-in-law were so powerful that they even had a courtyard house in Beijing.
This is probably unique in their Heishui Brigade, in the entire commune, and even in the entire county.
"Girl, you actually secretly bought a courtyard house in Beijing. I'm ashamed of your courage! By the way, how did you have so much money to afford a courtyard house in Beijing?"
"Of course it was during those two years in the countryside, selling cold dishes, clothes, eggs, and my salary at the commune. Everything added up, little by little, until it all came together!"
Shen Xiaobei replied with a smile.
Although this answer is a bit exaggerated, it still seems reasonable.
Even if the Duan family had doubts, they had no evidence.
"Granddaughter-in-law, it is a blessing for Xichuan to marry a capable and housekeeping daughter-in-law like you. It is also a blessing for our Duan family!"
Mr. Duan’s closing statement made Shen Xiaobei very happy.
She winked at Duan Xichuan playfully and proudly. Duan Xichuan glared at her lovingly and silently responded to her, "You little girl, don't be so proud!"
