Chapter 768 Making Two People Have a Child
Just as Wang Yue was about to speak, He Fen, sitting on the sofa in the living room, said sarcastically, "You still know you have a mother? And you even have a birthday celebration? You're just hoping I die someday so you can come and see me off!"
Wang Yue frowned and glared at him, "The child came to celebrate your birthday out of kindness, why are you saying such unlucky things!"
Wang Qin carried the groceries into the kitchen and said, "Brother is right, sister-in-law, today is your birthday, and Xiao Ye and Yi Yi rarely come back. I'll cook some nice dishes so everyone can have a good time!"
Wang Yue said, "Alright, don't stand, sit down. I'll go get some fruit, you can eat first."
Wang Yue went to the kitchen, leaving only the family of three and He Fen in the living room.
He Fen was already sulking, and seeing Bai Yi made her even angrier. She stubbornly watched TV, ignoring Wang Ye and Bai Yi completely.
Wang Ye was used to her temper. Although he sometimes found her unreasonable, He Fen was his mother. As her son, if he really fell out with his mother, wouldn't people laugh at him?
Wang Ye smiled and took out his gift. "Mom, happy birthday. This is a birthday present I bought for you. You kept telling me that your neck hurt the other day. I looked it up and found that this massager is very effective and easy to use. Just turn it on and use it as a pillow."
He Fen glanced at it and snorted, "It's embarrassing that you still have the mind to buy me, your mother, a gift. I thought all your money went into other people's pockets and that you couldn't make your own decisions!"
Her words were a veiled sarcasm directed at Bai Yi.
Wang Ye couldn't help but frown.
Today is He Fen's birthday, and he doesn't want to argue with her and make everyone unhappy.
So on the surface, Wang Ye still had a smiling face. "Mom, look at what you're saying. I'm your son. All the money I earn is to support you. If it goes into someone else's pocket, who will you and Dad rely on?"
He Fen snorted, her expression finally softening somewhat.
Wang Ye seized the opportunity and continued to bombard her with sweet words, "Mom, look at you, you only have one birthday a year, you should celebrate it properly and be happy, don't think about anything else. I'll take a lot of pictures of you later, you can post them on WeChat Moments to show off to your aunts!"
He Fen is a competitive person who loves to compare herself to others. She doesn't have many relatives, and in her generation, the competition is all about whether her sons and grandsons can live up to expectations.
Wang Ye's words immediately made He Fen feel smug.
She should really show off.
She had often heard relatives talk to her about how this family's son got a high-paying job, or how that family's daughter was going to be admitted to a prestigious university.
In He Fen's opinion, none of these compare to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye's business has gradually stabilized during this period, with daily turnover reaching eight or nine thousand yuan.
On weekends, they can even sell for over ten thousand.
Even excluding daily costs and employee salaries, the net profit per day is five or six thousand.
Although you can't keep all of this money, you can still earn tens of thousands a month.
Moreover, Wang Ye is the owner of this shop, which gives him face. This is much better than his sons and daughters who have unstable jobs and are still spending their families' money on school.
He Fen became increasingly smug, and her expression softened as she had at the beginning.
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Ye quickly gave Bai Yi a wink.
Bai Yi was quick-witted and immediately understood what Wang Ye meant.
She took out the gift she wanted to give to He Fen.
"Auntie, this is a birthday gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
On her way here, Bai Yi bought a bouquet of lilies. She placed the flowers and gift box on the coffee table and said, "Happy birthday to you."
He Fen glanced at the gift, neither saying she liked it nor disliked it; she just glanced at it.
Wang Ye chimed in, "Mom, this health supplement is very effective, and it's not cheap either. Many people want to buy it but can't get it. Yiyi bought it for you with her own money. Look at this gift box, it looks very elegant. If anyone asks, just say it was bought by your daughter-in-law. It will make you look good!"
Bai Yi looked at Wang Ye gratefully.
Whenever the relationship between her and He Fen became awkward, he was always there to step in and ease the tension.
That way she wouldn't feel so embarrassed and awkward.
He Fen had originally intended to scold Bai Yi for wasting money, but Wang Ye's few words shut her up, and she really didn't know what to say.
He constantly criticized Bai Yi's faults in order to make her give up and eventually divorce Wang Ye in a fit of anger.
But now Bai Yi is being very polite, and the gifts he gave are decent, not to mention it's his own money.
And most importantly, with Wang Ye standing there, she really couldn't say anything more about Bai Yi.
But given her temperament, even if she doesn't say anything harsh, she can't say anything nice either; at most, she'll just say, "Well, just leave it."
Bai Yi and Wang Ye both breathed a sigh of relief.
The two didn't expect He Fen to be particularly happy; they just hoped she wouldn't be too harsh in her words or cause any trouble.
"Come on, everyone, come and have some fruit to fill your stomachs first."
Wang Yue placed the plate of sliced fruit on the dining table.
He first handed Linlin a piece of apple, saying, "Here, Linlin, have an apple."
Linlin took the apple and obediently said to him, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Good girl." Wang Yue patted Linlin's head.
Previously, he hadn't been as fond of Bai Yi because of him, and also because he wasn't Wang Ye's biological son.
But now the more I look at it, the more I like it, just like my own son.
Wang Ye and Bai Yi went to the kitchen to help Wang Qin.
Seeing Wang Yue coaxing Linlin, He Fen said sarcastically, "Xiao Ye has been married for so long and still doesn't have a child. You, on the other hand, treat someone else's son like your own grandson. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue subconsciously glanced towards the kitchen, and only after confirming that Bai Yi and Wang Ye hadn't heard anything did he feel relieved.
He looked at He Fen and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't we agree not to bring this up again? I've mentioned it to Xiao Ye before, and she said she's busy with the shop and isn't thinking about having children. Why are you bringing this up again?"
He Fen said angrily, "He says he won't have children, so he just won't! He's the only son in the Wang family. He didn't keep the baby before he was married, so I didn't say anything. But now he's married, and they're both still young. If he doesn't want to have children now, does he expect them to wait until they're in their forties or fifties?"
Wang Yue gave Linlin another piece of fruit, then looked up and asked He Fen, "Didn't you dislike Bai Yi? You were always thinking about getting them to divorce, but now you're in a rush to have them have a child?"
