If it weren't for Xie Li's help in the past few years, Ye Xiaozhen would have watched them cry.
Fortunately, it was near the end of the year and the company was on holiday, so Zhang Yuanyuan came to visit. Actually, I saw that she was very tired taking care of a child alone, so I came to help.
Her own baby is almost two years old and has gone out of town. Her mother is mainly taking care of the baby.
The New Year is coming soon, and her mother has gone back to her hometown. Now the child is left for her to take care of herself.
She would bring her son here every day to play in the yard behind their community.
The two of them sat on a long stone bench, watching the almost two-year-old kid chasing after the almost four-year-old kid.
"Tsk, I used to be jealous, but now it seems better for this kid to have them one by one. It must be tiring enough just to bathe them every day, right?"
"I only wash the baby, and the other babies are under the care of their father."
"That's great. I didn't expect that Lin An-ge also has the job of taking care of children."
"Oh, he is the one who takes care of his two younger brothers."
"That's right. Last time he took the three of them to the park to play, he called to ask Xiaokun to help in the middle of the game. I thought he didn't know how to take them."
Ye Xiaozhen didn't even know about this.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Zhang Yuanyuan told her in detail about the misunderstanding on New Year's Day.
She laughed and said, "I wondered what park two men were going to, and I thought it was just an excuse, and they actually wanted to go to a foot massage parlor. I almost called you, but luckily Brother Lin An called and explained that it was a misunderstanding."
After a while, her child came over and pulled her to make a fuss. Unable to stop her, she asked Zhang Yuanyuan to help.
Zhang Yuanyuan looked helpless and was dragged along by him.
She was tired after playing for a while, but the kid didn't seem tired at all and became more and more energetic as he played.
But fortunately, I stopped pulling her, so she came back to rest.
Zhang Yuanyuan sighed, "When the baby was just born, I thought it would save effort to raise him until he could crawl. When he could crawl, I thought it would be fine if he could walk and talk. Now that he can walk and talk, I thought it would be fine if he could go to school. Looking at your baby, I think it will take a few more years. I won't have to worry about him until he goes to school."
Ye Xiaozhen smiled faintly and said nothing.
I thought, how can raising a child be so easy?
Going to primary school has its own worries.
It would be fine if they were willing to study hard, but if they were naughty and called their parents every day, or fought with their friends at school, that would be worrying.
There is a joke on the Internet that says raising a child requires worrying about him all your life, and when you die, he still needs your blessing.
If he's not having a good life, you have to dig him out and move him to another place.
"What are you laughing at?"
Ye Xiaozhen told her the jokes she saw on the Internet.
After listening to it, Zhang Yuanyuan was shocked at first, and then expressed her strong agreement.
"That's exactly what you said. My aunt always asks my uncle to come to my father to discuss relocating my grandparents' graves. She says that my grandparents' graves bring good luck to my family, not to his family."
Um?
Ye Xiaozhen found it strange. "Didn't you say that your uncle's family gave birth to five sons, and your aunt always said that she was lucky?"
"My grandparents were still alive when she gave birth to five sons. That was because my great-grandfather and great-grandmother blessed them. My cousins of this generation were not successful. None of them had children. Now they see that I have passed away and married an honest, hardworking and good-tempered man.
We bought a house in the city. Since he had no parents to support him, he brought my parents to the city to take care of them. Isn't that like raising a son? They are very jealous now. They say that my family was able to turn a bad hand into a good one because of my grandma's good burial."
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
This...
"Why? Didn't they have any say in your grandpa's grave?"
"Tsk tsk, when they were arranging the funeral for my grandparents, they didn't want to spend money or take care of it, so they forced my dad to spend money. The cemetery was also chosen by my dad and a Taoist priest. They said that since my dad hired the Taoist priest, the burial place must be auspicious for my family and took away their family's luck. So they wanted to move my grandparents to a place that would bring good luck to their family."
"Then let them change."
"Tsk, moving to a new place doesn't cost money? My family doesn't want to spend money, so I discussed it with my dad. It's useless to say that it's other families who have daughters and other families' children who enjoy it. It's only the sons who have sons. Only the sons born by them are the children of the Zhang family.
My father was almost convinced by him. If he had said to change the cemetery to a more prosperous one for both families, he might have agreed. But when he heard his last words, he was so angry that he almost started a fight with them. Of course, there were more of them, so my father would definitely not be able to win. A good man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he dragged my mother away. "
Ye Xiaozhen thought that her uncle's family was even more wonderful than Xie's uncle's.
At least they didn't go so far as to ask me to move, and they didn't want to spend money.
As the two were chatting, a waiter suddenly came over from the front hall and said that there was a call from Zhang Yuanyuan.
Zhang Yuanyuan asked Ye Xiaozhen to help look after the child and ran to pick it up.
After a while, he came back and said to Ye Xiaozhen, "It's Xiao Kun calling. I have to go back."
"What?" She remembered that Xie Linan had arranged for Wang Kun to be on duty, and he had to go to work except for New Year's Day and New Year's Day.
Zhang Yuanyuan said with a headache: "It's not his cheap sister who is the one who is responsible for the matter, but also your cheap sister, Ye Xiaochun. It's really annoying. Since the last time they made trouble and the police notified Xiaokun to go for bail, they always look for him for everything."
"Huh? What bail?"
"Oh, Ye Xiaochun has had such a mess with Qian Jian, how can he still live a good life? Qian Jian was asked to divorce his new wife, but he refused. And the Qian family said that even if he divorced his new wife, they would not agree to let Ye Xiaochun marry into their family. You know what Ye Xiaochun's conditions are, but I heard that the Qian family's conditions are very good."
Ye Xiaozhen nodded. Nowadays, families still mind if the girl’s mother is a death row inmate.
"We can't let Ye Xiaochun in, but the Qian family wants a son. Ye Xiaochun is not stupid, and it seems that the Qian family wants a son, so she will definitely not let go. Not only does she refuse, she also wants to sue Qian Jian and make him pay a huge amount of child support."
Ye Xiaozhen had also heard about the sky-high alimony fees.
"Some time ago, Qian Jian's parents came to discuss the child's custody. They said that the house in Lincheng was compensation for Ye Xiaochun, and they also gave her a one-time compensation of 2,000 yuan for her hard work in giving birth to the child. If they could take the child away, they would be even.
If you ask me, it's fine. A melon that is forced is not sweet. You are a girl without parents. What's the use of marrying? Your family will secretly torture you to death without you knowing. It's better to take the house and money and live a good life. If it doesn't work out, sell the house and move to another place. Maybe you can marry into a good family while you are still young, right?
