Volume 1 Chapter 228 Queen Mother and Wang Chunmei
Look at how well her eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law get along, they are almost close friends.
After spending some time with Sheng Wanyan, Mrs. Gu began to like her sister-in-law more and more.
She found that Sheng Wanyan was very knowledgeable and could answer some questions about any topic she talked about.
I work in the Education Bureau, where I deal with cultured people, and I usually speak in a very literary manner.
But she found that Sheng Wanyan's knowledge reserves were no less than hers, who had worked in the Education Bureau for more than ten years.
Since the two of them were chatting happily, naturally Mrs. Gu could also find someone she could talk to about her innermost thoughts.
Friends you make outside are unreliable, and there are some things you cannot say to friends in your circle.
But Sheng Wanyan is different. She will never let her family members suffer any injustice.
Although she had this idea about Wang Chunmei at the beginning, she later saw Wang Chunmei's petty nature gradually revealed.
I was the first one to be screened out. Now it’s clear that Sheng Wanyan is not the same kind of person as Wang Chunmei.
———
Time quickly came to New Year's Eve. Wang Chunmei felt a little flustered when she saw that no one came to pick her up.
The Queen Mother felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that she had not returned home yet during the New Year.
It's the New Year already, and my married daughter is still staying at home. What's going on?
But when he thought of the more than 16,000 yuan his daughter gave him, he was too embarrassed to tell Wang Chunmei about it.
I could only ask in a roundabout way: "My daughter, isn't your uncle coming yet?"
"It's New Year's Day, and your son-in-law left you alone at your mother's house. That's really outrageous."
"You are still pregnant, and Jingjing is still young, how can you be away from your parents for so long~"
Wang Chunmei felt very uncomfortable when she heard what her mother said.
Gu Tinghao hasn't been here for a whole half month, nor has he come to check on how he is doing.
This was the first time that Gu Tinghao was so cruel. Wang Chunmei naturally knew in her heart that Gu Tinghao might be serious this time.
It’s all Sheng Wanyan’s fault. Why did she mention wedding gifts for no reason?
She is from the city, is she worthy of such expensive leather shoes?
"My girl, why don't you go back home and take a look?"
"You are pregnant and have given birth to a daughter for the Gu family. The Gu family will never be really angry."
"Mom, my daughter is useless."
"Daughters are all money-losing goods. The Gu family is so high-ranking that if a daughter is born, she won't get anything."
Don't think that she doesn't know that the things that were divided up from the family property are only the money that appears on the surface. There's no telling how much more the Gu family has hidden in secret.
So what if she gave birth to a daughter? Daughters will get married and sooner or later belong to someone else's family.
The Gu family is not so stupid as to divide the things among their granddaughter, Gu Jingjing.
Therefore, giving birth to a son is the most practical thing. If this baby is a son, then the four rooms will be able to share the things.
It would be best if Sheng Wanyan gave birth to a daughter, so that their fourth room could get more.
The Queen Mother didn't know how to let her go back. Wang Chunmei was pregnant, and she had to eat a lot when she went back to her parents' home, and she had to eat fine grains everywhere.
Where can we get so much fine grain at home? ! !
If I give it to her, then the grandchildren at home will have to eat less, right?
Besides, several daughters-in-law have already expressed strong opinions, and the sons also have opinions.
But she had accepted 16,000 yuan from her daughter, so she couldn't just ask her to leave!
"Mom, stop trying to persuade me."
The Queen Mother thought about it and asked about what she had told her last time.
"By the way, didn't you say that you would adopt Jingjing to your third brother and his wife's home?"
"How's that going?"
Wang Chunmei felt a little unhappy when she heard this. She really didn't expect that Sheng Wanyan was pregnant when she came back to celebrate the New Year.
"My third sister-in-law is almost four months pregnant, and I don't know if they will agree."
"Why would anyone disagree with this? Jingjing is their niece."
"Besides, even if your third sister-in-law is pregnant, it's not like we can't afford to raise another child."
"When they raise Jingjing, won't Jingjing be filial to them just as well?"
Wang Chunmei and her mother both knew that a girl could not be filial to her parents for more than a few years and would have to get married.
"Think about it, if you give birth to a son, your son-in-law will definitely agree."
"It's not like they're giving it to someone else. They're adopting it to their brother's family, so they can take care of the family! They can see it all the time."
How could Wang Chunmei not know this?
She didn't dare mention this matter to Brother Gu's family. After all, Brother Gu was the heir of the Gu family, and Old Man Gu would be the first one to disagree with Jingjing being adopted by him.
But Gu Tingxiao is different. He is the third child and earns more than Gu Tinghao in a month.
Gu Tinghao has only been working for a few years and his salary is only a few dozen yuan.
By the time the son is born, there will still be a daughter at home, how can we afford to raise her? ! !
Although she is the director of the factory's finance department, she cannot waste her money on money-losing products.
Those were all left for her son, it’s not worth losing money on them!
What's more, she is pregnant now and cannot go to work. Although she has found someone to take her place, she doesn't get paid.
Moreover, after giving birth, I have to take care of the child and I can't go back for a while. Wouldn't it be a loss to raise an extra child then?
Gu Tingxiao earns 100 yuan a month, which is twice as much as her husband, so raising two children is not a problem at all.
Besides, it’s not a big deal for an older brother to help his younger brother.
I have also told my daughter about this, and she will also make a fuss about adopting me as Gu Tingxiao.
There is no way the Gu family would disagree. Raising the child would be of many benefits to Gu Tingxiao.
Sheng Wanyan didn't expect Wang Chunmei to think so much, but she was not at Gu's house for the past half month.
I'm afraid that by the time she comes back, all her plans will have been in vain.
"Why don't you go back and talk to the Gu family about this?"
"When your third brother and his family return to the army, it will be a good opportunity to take Jingjing with you."
Wang Chunmei looked at her mother's anxious eyes and narrowed her eyes.
"Mom, you're not going to chase me away, are you?"
“How could this happen!?”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately disapproved, but in her heart she hoped that she would leave as soon as possible, as her family could not afford to support her if she stayed any longer.
"I gave you all the money. If you want to drive me away, you have to give it back to me."
"My dear daughter, what are you talking about? You are my dear daughter. I wish you could stay at home for a while longer."
"It's just that it's not a good idea for you to continue quarreling with your son-in-law like this. I'm also worried that there will be problems in your relationship."
When Wang Chunmei heard her mother's words, she looked at her mother's expression with some scrutiny.
But what the Queen Mother said later was right, and she couldn't keep quarreling with Gu Tinghao like this.
"Then give me 2,000 yuan and I'll take it back to coax Gu Tinghao."
The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this. How could she ask for the money back when she hadn't even warmed up the money yet?
"My dear, if you take this money back, it will most likely end up in the hands of the Gu family."
