Chapter 126: Cursing on the Street
"I'm pregnant with your child. Aren't you happy?" said the young woman. This person was not Pan Yun, she was Shi Nan's lover, named Ji Shiyu.
Ji Shiyu was originally Shi Nan's secretary. After the two had a relationship, Ji Shiyu did not continue to be Shi Nan's secretary, but was kept by Shi Nan outside.
When Nan heard that Ji Shiyu was pregnant, he was not happy at all.
"The child you are pregnant with is not mine!" Shi Nan stood up. He had already had a vasectomy, so the child could not be his.
Ji Shiyu didn't expect Shi Nan to say this, "This child is really yours. I have never been with another man."
"You know it yourself," Shi Nan said, "Let's just leave it like this between us."
Shi Nan took out some money from his wallet and gave it to Ji Shiyu. He thought that he and Ji Shiyu had parted ways amicably.
"I'm pregnant, you can't do this." Ji Shiyu grabbed Shi Nan's sleeve tightly, but Shi Nan shook off Ji Shiyu's hand.
In Shi Nan's eyes, Ji Shiyu was pregnant with another man and wanted to frame Shi Nan for the child.
Ji Shiyu watched Shi Nan leave, unable to do anything. She couldn't let this matter go, so she decided to go find Pan Yun. However, Shi Nan wouldn't let her see Pan Yun. Before she could even see Pan Yun, she was dragged away.
Shi Nan immediately arranged for Ji Shiyu to have an abortion. It wasn't his child, so she couldn't blame him. If Ji Shiyu hid away and waited until the baby was older, or even gave birth, things might get better. Ji Shiyu's pregnancy was still young, and she wanted to go find Pan Yun, which angered Shi Nan.
Over the years, Shi Nan had made a lot of money with the Pan family. If Shi Nan offended Pan Yun and upset the Pan family, his business would be affected to some extent. Shi Nan couldn't let Ji Shiyu affect his relationship with Pan Yun. He kept a mistress outside, but didn't let her in front of Pan Yun. As long as Pan Yun didn't know and wasn't unhappy, that was enough.
Ji Shiyu was taken to have an abortion by Shi Nan's men, and Madam Pan knew about it. She knew Shi Nan had a mistress not long after they were together. It was just that Madam Pan didn't tell Pan Yun. When a man has money, it's inevitable that he'll cheat. It's hard to stop that. If she stopped Ji Shiyu, there would still be other women. It would be better to let Shi Nan be.
Mrs. Pan thought that Shi Nan had already had a vasectomy and would not get a woman pregnant. She hadn't expected Ji Shiyu to get pregnant. She asked a doctor, who said it was still possible for a man to get a woman pregnant after a vasectomy, but the probability was very small. Mrs. Pan didn't even have to do it herself; Shi Nan had Ji Shiyu have an abortion.
Mrs. Pan knew clearly that Shi Nan did not ask Ji Shiyu to have an abortion because he was afraid of offending the Pan family, but because Shi Nan thought the child in Ji Shiyu's belly was not his, so he asked Ji Shiyu to have an abortion.
The matter did not reach Pan Yun's ears. Pan Yun still felt that Shi Nan treated her very well. She had two daughters and she only needed to take care of them.
Because Shi Nan didn't have a son, Shi's mother was dissatisfied with Pan Yun, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously. Pan Yun and Mrs. Pan could see Shi's mother's dissatisfaction, but they didn't take her seriously. Shi's mother wanted Shi Nan to have a son, but Shi Nan didn't have a son. Shi's mother thought of her two granddaughters and went to see them, but Mrs. Pan and Pan Yun didn't let Shi's mother spend much time with the children.
Mrs. Pan and Pan Yun were both afraid that Shi's mother would lead the child astray, and they didn't want the child to become like Shi's mother.
It was Fan Xiaoxue who told Shi Nan that her lover had an abortion. Fan Xiaoxue's man went to help Shi Nan arrange it, and Shi Kaihua did a lot of things for Shi Nan.
"That woman was originally Shi Nan's secretary." Fan Xiaoxue said, "It seems they got together after going out for a social event together."
Fan Xiaoxue was sitting in the small reception room with some fruits placed in front of her.
Jiang Moli listened to what Fan Xiaoxue said, and she was not surprised at all. People like Shi Nan had long been twisted. Shi Nan used Pan Yun more than anything else, and he had had other women before.
"That woman is really something. How could she get pregnant with someone else's child and frame Shi Nan? Is it possible for a man like Shi Nan to let others cheat on him?" Fan Xiaoxue said.
"The child may not be someone else's." Jiang Moli said.
"Shi Nan has already had a sterilization." Fan Xiaoxue was surprised.
"Even if he's had a sterilization, the child could still be his," Jiang Moli said. "A sterilization doesn't necessarily mean a woman can't get pregnant. Even if a woman has an IUD, there's still a chance of pregnancy. Nothing like this is 100% guaranteed."
"This... isn't this equivalent to Shi Nan killing his own child?" Fan Xiaoxue said, "He only has two daughters. If this girl gave birth to a boy... she couldn't have one and would have had an abortion."
"Tell your man to stop doing these things. They interfere with other people's personal freedom." Jiang Moli said, "It's a criminal act."
"I've talked to him about this, and he said that since he gets paid so much, he has to do things for Shi Nan and the others, and he can't just sit there and do nothing." Fan Xiaoxue said, "He also said that the woman didn't have a marriage certificate or a birth permit, so she wasn't allowed to give birth to the child. He doesn't think he's done anything wrong, he thinks he's doing a good thing."
Fan Xiaoxue rubbed her brows. She had told Shi Kaihua many times, and Shi Kaihua said he knew what he was doing and that he would not commit any crime. But Shi Kaihua's actions were very worrying. Fan Xiaoxue wondered what she would do if Shi Kaihua went to jail again.
All I can say is that the child has grown up a lot, and it doesn't matter whether Shi Kaihua is at home or not. When the child was young, Fan Xiaoxue could support herself, let alone now.
"If the child is Shi Nan...will he blame our Kaihua?" Fan Xiaoxue said.
"I don't know." Jiang Moli said, "Your husband has been to jail for them. Besides, this time, it wasn't your husband who wanted to do it. Shi Nan arranged for him to do it."
"Um..." Fan Xiaoxue hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Moli saw Fan Xiaoxue hesitated and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"That woman, Kaihua said she looks a bit like you." Fan Xiaoxue said, "I met that woman once, and she does look a bit like you."
"..." Jiang Moli thought this was disgusting.
Jiang Moli didn't need Shi Nan to like her, nor did she need Shi Nan to find a substitute. The relationship between Jiang Moli and Shi Nan was not that good, and she had already rejected Shi Nan's confession.
"You haven't seen her, that's okay." Fan Xiaoxue said, "This matter is over..."
"If I don't go over, what else can I do? Can I run to Shi Nan and tell him not to do that?" Jiang Moli sneered.
"I heard that Shi Nan went to watch your performance." Fan Xiaoxue said, "He...if he really liked you back then, he shouldn't have let his mother bully you like that. He's pretending to be affectionate over there, but he's with another woman. He's actually doing it for himself."
Fan Xiaoxue didn't think Shi Nan loved Jiang Moli that deeply. Shi Nan's love was not worthy of Jiang Moli at all. Fan Xiaoxue also thought about Xie Shaojun having mistresses outside, and these people were all similar. Fan Xiaoxue didn't know if her husband had other women outside, and she could only hope that her husband would give the money to the family. She knew that if Shi Kaihua didn't look for other women, it was probably because she didn't look for other men when he was in prison.
"You guys don't want to see that person." Fan Xiaoxue said, "That woman was taken away for an abortion and is no longer in Nancheng. Shi Nan can't let her stay in Nancheng any longer."
Shi Nan used to be nice to Ji Shiyu, but now he has turned against her.
"Kaihua handled everything," Fan Xiaoxue said. "That woman couldn't see Shi Nan even if she wanted to. Shi Nan wouldn't see her."
"Don't get involved in this kind of thing." Jiang Moli said, "But your man is helping Shi Nan do things, so he has to deal with these things."
"Shi Kaihua doesn't have much ability. He can only help Shi Nan deal with these things." Fan Xiaoxue said, "The salary he gets isn't given for nothing."
"..." Jiang Moli picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. That was Fan Xiaoxue's man's business, so Jiang Moli didn't say too much.
When Fan Xiaoxue returned home, she saw Shi Kaihua and deliberately said that the child might be Shi Nan's.
"What did you say?" Shi Kaihua asked.
"Vast ligation does not necessarily mean that a woman cannot get pregnant at all," said Fan Xiaoxue.
"Who told you that, Jiang Moli?" Shi Kaihua asked.
"It's Jasmine. It's not something that can't be said." Fan Xiaoxue said, "It's the truth."
"What facts?" Shi Kaihua frowned.
"It's possible for a man who's had a sterilization to get a woman pregnant," Fan Xiaoxue said. "Shi Nan is a college student, wouldn't he know that?"
Jiang Moli knew it all, how could Shi Nan not know it?
Fan Xiaoxue didn't know if Shi Nan knew this, but she knew he definitely didn't trust those people. Shi Nan was someone who only trusted himself and used others. Even though Shi Nan treated Xie Shaojun and Shi Kaihua so well, it was mainly because they were useful. Xie Shaojun, Shi Kaihua, and Shi Nan all grew up on the same street, so Shi Nan trusted them more and was willing to use them.
If it were someone else, Shi Nan might not trust them so much.
"I don't know." Shi Kaihua said, "If he doesn't know..."
"Whether he knows or not, it doesn't matter. The child is gone." Fan Xiaoxue said, "The child has been aborted. Just this one thing... are you going to tell Shi Nan? You didn't know before, but now you know... Will Shi Nan think you deliberately didn't tell him?"
"No." Shi Kaihua said, "Shi Nan can't possibly think that. He knows that I am uneducated and don't understand many things."
"..." Fan Xiaoxue looked at Shi Kaihua. Shi Kaihua always blindly trusted Shi Nan.
"It's okay. If I had told him earlier, there would have been no problem." Shi Kaihua said.
Jiang Moli didn't ask Fan Xiaoxue to pass on the message. She didn't need to bother Fan Xiaoxue, and there was no need to say more about those things. No matter what Shi Nan wanted to do, Jiang Moli didn't care.
What Fan Xiaoxue said to Shi Kaihua was what Fan Xiaoxue wanted to say.
"You... still have to persuade Shi Nan to look for a lover instead of looking for Jasmine." Fan Xiaoxue said.
"Did Jiang Moli also say this?" Shi Kaihua asked.
"No, Jasmine wouldn't say that." Fan Xiaoxue said, "Do you think Jasmine is Shi Nan? Jasmine doesn't bother to argue with Shi Nan about those things."
"It's just a small matter." Shi Kaihua said, "All beauties look similar, right?"
"Check your conscience, is it really the same?" Fan Xiaoxue poked Shi Kaihua's chest with her hand.
"It's almost the same." Shi Kaihua said.
"Haha." Fan Xiaoxue sneered.
Fan Xiaoxue told others about the fact that a man can get pregnant after getting a sterilization. Fan Xiaoxue did it on purpose, and this news quickly reached Shi's mother's ears. When Fan Xiaoxue told others, she said it was the doctor who said it, not Jiang Moli.
Shi Nan's affairs had nothing to do with Jiang Moli, and Fan Xiaoxue couldn't involve Jiang Moli. Shi Nan didn't tell his mother about his lover, as he was afraid that his mother would spread rumors outside.
Although Shi's mother didn't know about Ji Shiyu's situation, it didn't stop her from going to Shi Nan. Shi's mother told Shi Nan that a sterilized man could still get a woman pregnant. Shi Kaihua had just told Shi Nan when Shi's mother came.
Shi Nan was feeling a bit unhappy. He didn't think the baby in Ji Shiyu's belly was his, but he also felt it might be. Regardless of whether it was possible or not, the baby in Ji Shiyu's belly was definitely gone. This made Shi Nan a bit irritated. He knew that Shi Kaihua couldn't be blamed for this; he had been the one who had asked Shi Kaihua to do all that.
Shi Kaihua said everything in front of Shi Nan, saying that those words were said by Jiang Moli and Fan Xiaoxue. Shi Kaihua did not even think about saying Jiang Moli's name less. He mentioned Jiang Moli's name on purpose because he thought that if something really happened, Shi Nan would be less angry when hearing Jiang Moli's name.
When Shi Nan heard what Shi Kaihua said, he just said: Jasmine is indeed very smart, and her brain is no worse than those who graduated from university.
Now, Shi's mother came here, and she wanted Shi Nan to have a son with another woman.
"Do it quietly, don't tell your wife, I'll help you." said Shi's mother.
"No need." Shi Nan said, "I only have two daughters in my life, and I'm not destined to have a son."
"You're stabbing me in the heart." Shi's mother said. She came to Shi Nan's company specifically because she wanted Shi Nan to carry on the Shi family's lineage. "Your father and I only have you as our son."
"You also have a daughter." Shi Nan said.
"How can a daughter and a son be the same?" Shi's mother said, "You are a college graduate, you..."
"Gender equality," Shi Nan replied. "Those of you who have graduated from university should understand this principle even more. Boys and girls, as long as they're your biological children, it's fine. Forget it. No grandsons, only granddaughters."
When Shi Nan heard what Shi's mother said, he felt that it would be better for Ji Shiyu to abort the child. If Ji Shiyu gave birth to a boy, wouldn't Shi's mother do it?
Shi's mother only cares about her own face. If she wants to embarrass others, she will never let them have an easy life. Shi Nan can't let Shi's mother destroy his family again. He and Pan Yun can't divorce, at least not yet. Unless Shi Nan's company develops better and he no longer needs to rely on the Pan family, then it doesn't matter.
The Pan family was still wary of Shi Nan and didn't let him interact with more people. Shi Nan said that since he was the son-in-law of the Pan family, they might not pay attention to him, so the Pan family still had to intervene. Shi Nan hoped that the Pan family would be more relaxed about it, but it didn't happen.
"You...you...how could you be so cruel?" Shi's mother said, "Your father and I have no other wish in this life except to see you..."
"Don't look." Shi Nan said, "This is the company, the office, don't say such things."
Shi Nan knew that Shi's mother kept saying the same thing, so he asked someone to send her away. Shi Nan didn't want to listen to what Shi's mother said. If he continued to listen, he would lose control of his emotions.
As expected, Ji Shiyu had to abort the child. She had no choice but to do so.
Compared to having a son, Shi Nan wanted a successful career more. Shi Nan didn't like Ji Shiyu that much. He saw the shadow of Jiang Moli in Ji Shiyu. A fake is a fake after all. Ji Shiyu and Jiang Moli are similar only from certain angles, not that much alike.
Jiang Moli's figure appeared in Shi Nan's mind. Only by making more money could he realize his dream. If he had more money earlier, if his mother had said less, he and Jiang Moli would have been together a long time ago. Shi Nan thought that if he and Jiang Moli were together, none of these things would have happened.
If Jiang Moli knew what he was thinking, she would only say that even if she was with Shi Nan, Shi Nan would still be with other women. People like Shi Nan would not control themselves too much. Maybe he would even think that he was very affectionate and that the lover he found was very similar to his wife, so he loved his wife very much.
Shi Nan is not worthy of Jiang Moli. Fan Xiaoxue and Sheng Jiahao also think so.
Sheng Jiahao didn't pay attention to Shi Nan until Ji Shiyu had her child aborted. Ji Shiyu was driven out of South City by Shi Nan. No matter how Ji Shiyu struggled, it was useless. Shi Nan couldn't let Ji Shiyu affect the harmony of his family.
When Jiang Moli told Sheng Jiahao about Ji Shiyu, she saw that Sheng Jiahao didn't look surprised at all.
"Did you already know this?" Jiang Moli asked.
"No," Sheng Jiahao said, "I just found out about it two days ago."
"Two days ago?" Jiang Moli was puzzled.
"I heard it from people in the cooperative company." Sheng Jiahao said. These people would also gossip a little, not just talking about work.
It is impossible for Shi Nan to hide the fact that he has a lover from many people, and quite a few people know about it.
"What else did those people say?" Jiang Moli asked.
"They say that person looks a bit like you." Sheng Jiahao said, "I haven't seen him, but since others say so, there must be some truth to it."
"Sister Xiaoxue also told me when she came here," Jiang Moli said, "We can't control what kind of lover Shi Nan chooses. Shi Nan kept him quietly, and I only found out about it a few days ago when Sister Xiaoxue told me about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known."
Jiang Moli knew about it not much earlier than Sheng Jiahao. Neither of them kept an eye on Shi Nan all the time, nor did they let others keep an eye on Shi Nan. It didn't matter what Shi Nan did, it had nothing to do with Jiang Moli and her husband.
As for who Shi Nan’s lover looks like, it’s not the most important thing.
It’s enough for Jiang Moli to know that she and Sheng Jiahao are happy.
"People like Shi Nan are not very affectionate, they just like to act affectionate." Jiang Moli said, "When he was in college, he let his mother do whatever she wanted. Many unmarried girls in our street have been told by his mother. There are so many people here, not just me, but Shi Nan can't tell his mother. Even if he did, his mother wouldn't think he was doing it for me, but he just didn't say anything and just played dumb."
Jiang Moli doesn't like people like Shi Nan. Shi Nan is not trying to smooth things over now because he has been through a lot and the Pan family is very important to him. If it weren't for these reasons, Shi Nan would definitely not interfere in those matters. He would only try to smooth things over and let his wife solve those problems on her own.
"Maybe he still thinks that if those things hadn't happened, he would have been this and that." Jiang Moli said, "People like that are always talking nonsense, which is useless."
"Yes." Sheng Jiahao nodded. "I wonder if his wife knows about his lover."
"Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't." Jiang Moli said, "It's hard to say about this kind of thing."
Some people pretend not to know for the sake of family harmony, while others insist on making a fuss.
Jiang Moli thought that if she knew about this, she would definitely choose to divorce. She would not drag it out and would not give the man more chances. If a man is with another woman once, there will be a second and third time. The wife can't control her husband at all.
"Others say Shi Nan's lover looks like me. What do you think?" Jiang Moli asked.
"Shi Nan can only find an imposter." Sheng Jiahao said, "Everyone else has said that I haven't seen the person, so it's useless to say that they don't look like him. That's all I said."
Jiang Moli is Sheng Jiahao's wife, there is no doubt about that. As for Shi Nan looking for a lover, Jiang Moli has no control over what kind of lover he wants.
Sheng Jiahao didn't discover Shi Nan's behavior early on. If he had, he would have only felt disgusted with Shi Nan and might have given her some trouble. After the trouble, that was it. Shi Nan could still find someone who looked very similar to Jiang Moli as a lover. That was Shi Nan's own choice. He kept a lover quietly, and Sheng Jiahao and his wife didn't know.
"You are my wife," Sheng Jiahao emphasized. "Don't bother with those messy people."
"Just don't blame me." Jiang Moli smiled, "This matter is not..."
"It's not your fault in the first place." Sheng Jiahao said, "You are so outstanding, and many people like you. It's my honor that I can still be with you."
"..." Jiang Moli blinked. What Sheng Jiahao said made her very happy.
Until now, Erya has not been found. Miao Guifeng asked Daya several times, but Daya still said she didn't know. Miao Guifeng told Yang Bingrong not to go out and look for Erya, and not to waste time on this matter. Erya ran away on purpose, so how could she let them find her?
"If we keep looking, it will be the same." Miao Guifeng said, "Er Ya is so hateful."
Yang Bingrong sat in the living room. He looked at his angry wife and sighed.
"Does Erya think it's easy out there?" Miao Guifeng asked, "She'll soon find out it's not that easy out there."
"Yeah." Yang Bingrong nodded.
"She's at home, well-fed and well-housed, so I don't have to worry too much. When she's old enough, she can find a suitable partner to marry. That would be great." Miao Guifeng said, "But she still insisted on running away."
"Maybe she will come back after some time," said Yang Bingrong.
"Her? With her stubborn temper, I'm afraid she would rather suffer outside than come back." Miao Guifeng said, "Just like Jiang Yuqin. She could have married someone better, but she insisted on marrying Ding Chao and raising someone else's child. Look, our own children are still so troublesome, let alone other people's children."
"Yeah." Yang Bingrong nodded again.
Jiang Yuqin and Ding Hongwang rarely saw each other on weekdays. During holidays, Jiang Yuqin would ask Ding Hongwang to come to her house for dinner, but Ding Hongwang rarely returned. Ding Hongwang felt that Jiang Yuqin and her husband didn't welcome him and were just going through the motions. If they were just going through the motions, then he shouldn't embarrass them.
Ding Hongwang would rather stay inside the factory and eat in the cafeteria during the Lunar New Year holiday. As a child, he always wanted to eat delicious food, but now, he doesn't have so many such thoughts. He only wants to save money quickly. He must save more money, not less.
Although Ding Hongwang is not yet of legal marriage age, he has a girlfriend who also works at the factory. They both live in the factory and only go out occasionally.
"You have a girlfriend?" Jiang Yuqin didn't expect Ding Hongwang to come back and tell them that he had a girlfriend.
"Yes." Ding Hongwang nodded. "We want to be together and get married in the future. We thought it would be great if we could buy a house near the factory. There are real estate projects near our factory, and the prices are reasonable."
"Have you saved money?" Jiang Yuqin asked.
"I've saved some money, but it's still not enough," Ding Hongwang said. "Mom, didn't you say you'd save money for me to get married? I don't need you to help me prepare the betrothal gift, just the down payment for this house..."
"This..." Jiang Yuqin was in a dilemma. She and her husband had not bought a house yet, so where would she get the money to buy a house for Ding Hongwang?
"Ten thousand yuan, a few thousand yuan, it's all fine," Ding Hongwang said. "My girlfriend and I both have jobs. We've paid the down payment, and we can get a bank loan. We can pay off the mortgage ourselves. Mom, what you said before wasn't a lie, was it?"
"I..." Jiang Yuqin looked at Ding Chao. This was a big deal. There was so much money involved.
"Have you found a house?" Ding Chao asked.
"Almost." Ding Hongwang said, "Our factory is in the development zone, and the houses there are very easy to sell. If we bought a house a few years ago, the house price would be even cheaper. Dad, we missed the good time, and we can't miss it anymore. We still have to buy a house. We don't need a big one, a two-bedroom will be fine. You and Mom will live here, and you will live with Honghui in the future, so my wedding house doesn't need to be too big."
If Jiang Yuqin and her husband want to go to Ding Hongwang's place, then they will have to buy a bigger house for Ding Hongwang.
"I've also talked to my biological mother, to see if she can chip in some money to buy me a house," Ding Hongwang said. "If my biological father were here... this shouldn't be a problem. He..."
"I'll think of a way." Ding Chao said.
"Okay." Ding Hongwang wanted Ding Chao to say this. As long as Ding Chao said this, Ding Chao and Jiang Yuqin would have to come up with some money.
After Ding Hongwang left, Jiang Yuqin stared at Ding Chao.
"You want to find a solution for him?" Jiang Yuqin said displeasedly, "No, don't you know what the situation is at home?"
Jiang Yuqin has been with Ding Chao for many years, but Ding Chao has not yet received a promotion. His salary is a bit higher, but with soaring prices and inflation, Ding Chao's salary is not enough to make ends meet. Jiang Yuqin's opinion of Ding Hongwang has changed, and her opinion of Ding Chao has also changed a little.
In the past, Jiang Yuqin always thought that her stepfather was a leader, and that Ding Chao could do what her stepfather could do. However, Ding Chao just didn't get promoted, which gave Jiang Yuqin a headache.
"That's all we have," Jiang Yuqin said. "Our children are still in school, so where would we get the money to buy a house for Hongwang? We don't even have a house ourselves, so he..."
"Just give a little, not too much." Ding Chao said.
"you……"
"It has come to this, give some." Ding Chao thought that he had spent too much time and money on Ding Hongwang. He thought that he just had to wait for Ding Hongwang to get married. Now there was only this step left, and they should do this step well.
"Will Ding Hongwang think you're good if you give him money?" Jiang Yuqin asked. "I don't think he even realizes we're being kind to him. He keeps talking about thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, as if we really have a lot of money."
"He has no other choice. He already has a girlfriend, and she needs a house before they can get married." Ding Chao said, "Hongwang trusts us, so he came to us to tell us these things and ask for your help."
"Help... This is a big favor." Jiang Yuqin was a little impatient. "It's not like he doesn't know that his brothers and sisters all need money..."
"We have raised him for so many years, and this is all we need." Ding Chao meant that they still had to give Ding Hongwang some money to get over the current problems.
"Hongwang hasn't reached the legal age to get a marriage certificate yet," Jiang Yuqin said.
"It's better to buy the house first." Ding Chao said, "If we buy it later, the price will increase, and we don't have that much money to pay him."
Ding Chao thought that if he gave money now, he could give less and not so much.
"We haven't even bought a house ourselves," Jiang Yuqin said. "We finally saved some money, but we have to give it to Hongwang."
"Give me some." Ding Chao said.
Jiang Yuqin was very unhappy, but she still had to give Ding Hongwang some money. Jiang Yuqin didn't have enough money, so she went to Jin Manzhi to ask for some money.
When Jin Manzhi saw how Jiang Yuqin lived her life, she shook her head.
"Just stop caring about your adopted son," Jin Manzhi said. "How can he thank you for all the meddling you've shown him? Don't raise an ungrateful child, and don't waste so much money on him."
"My husband said this is the only time," Jiang Yuqin said, "I'll stand guard for the last time. I thought, this is the last time, so let's do it right."
"Just keep an eye on it. If you use this money to buy a house, then use it to buy a house. Don't use it for anything else," Jin Manzhi said, "so that he won't ask you for money again later."
"I'll ask Ding Chao to keep an eye on it." Jiang Yuqin said sadly, "Ding Chao and I don't even have our own house yet..."
"That's how raising a child is. You always have to consider the child and let him have more things." Jin Manzhi said, "You shouldn't have raised Ding Hongwang in the first place. What did you gain by raising this child?"
"We...really didn't get anything," Jiang Yuqin said. "Ding Chao just feels guilty. Hongwang's biological father died because of Ding Chao, so Ding Chao just wants to take better care of Hongwang. It's no use saying anything. Ding Chao is right. He's already taken care of him this far. We can help him with the money to buy a house. Everyone knows we've done our best. We don't have a house ourselves, but we're still trying to help him get one."
"What's the point of all you've done?" Jin Manzhi asked. "Will the boss at work give him a promotion? Will Ding Hongwang's blood relatives thank you?"
Jiang Yuqin pursed her lips. Ding Chao hadn't been promoted, and Ding Hongwang's blood relatives rarely visited. They were just waiting for Ding Chao to raise the child. Ding Hongwang's biological mother had only visited him more often in recent years, and Ding Hongwang still thought his biological mother was the best.
Jiang Yuqin believes that Ding Hongwang's biological mother is not a good person at all. If she were really a good person, she would have taken Ding Hongwang with her when she got married. Even if Ding Chao offered to raise Ding Hongwang, Ding Hongwang's biological mother should not have let Ding Chao raise the child.
"The child knows his own life experience and has met his relatives. He is not close to you." Jin Manzhi said, "You gave him so many things, but they were all in vain."
"I……"
"You still have your biological son," Jin Manzhi said. "He'll just think you treat your biological son better than him. I don't think he has a girlfriend. He's just trying to get money from you. The sooner he gets the money, the sooner he can buy a house. That's still a profit."
"Mom, I'm not as cruel as you." Jiang Yuqin said. Her biological mother could abandon her, but she couldn't abandon Ding Hongwang.
Jiang Yuqin had raised Ding Hongwang for so many years, and just as Ding Chao had said, this was the final step. They couldn't give up, they had to grit their teeth and persevere to do this one thing well. Only then would their previous efforts not be in vain.
When Ding Hongwang said he wanted to buy a house, he really meant it. He and his girlfriend actually went to see houses and even bargained with people.
Jiang Yuqin lent money to Ding Hongwang to buy a house, and she told everyone about it so that others would know that she was a good stepmother.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We raised him after all."
"I've raised cats and dogs for so many years that I've developed feelings for them, let alone a living person."
"Back then, when I got married, I came from the Jiang family... Alas, I thought they had some feelings for me."
…
Jiang Yuqin said that on purpose to make people think that the Jiang family was bad.
When Niu Cuihua heard those words, she told others.
"Her mother eloped with someone, but the Jiang family still raised her. That's pretty good."
"Her mother made Uncle Jiang a laughing stock for so many years. Uncle Jiang originally thought the child was his biological child, but who knew that the child was not his biological child and was cheating on him in the early days."
"What's the point of talking about feelings? When Jiang Yuqin was in the Jiang family, she was always fighting and snatching things from the daughter of another family. If it were me, I would hate her to death and I would definitely take revenge on her severely."
…
Niu Cuihua felt that Jiang Yuqin was living too well. Jiang's father was quite polite to Jiang Yuqin, probably because of their long-term relationship. Jiang's father did not make things difficult for Jiang Yuqin, and Jiang's mother did not make things difficult for Jiang Yuqin either. Jiang Yuqin just didn't appreciate the kindness of others, and Jiang Yuqin still had the nerve to say that she was an adopted son.
Ah, bah, what a good child can someone like Jiang Yuqin raise.
Niu Cuihua couldn't let Jiang Yuqin talk nonsense there. Jiang Yuqin didn't live a good life. It was Jiang Yuqin's own business and had nothing to do with the Jiang family.
"She's not my sister-in-law's biological sister, so why is she still thinking about my sister-in-law helping her?" Niu Cuihua said, "Don't think I don't know that she and her man don't have a house, so she's thinking about the house my sister-in-law has here. That house was left by Uncle Jiang to my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law is his biological daughter. Why would he leave such a thing to his biological daughter instead of someone else's, or the daughter of the man who cheated on him? And they've raised Ah Mao and Ah Gou for so many years and have developed feelings for them? At least everyone in the family knows that Ah Mao and Ah Gou have no blood relationship with them."
Niu Cuihua said this to Jiang Yuqin in front of her. Jiang Yuqin was so angry that she turned around and left. Jiang Yuqin did not dare to argue with Niu Cuihua. Niu Cuihua was right and Jiang Yuqin was not right.
"What the hell is that?" Niu Cuihua rolled her eyes as she watched Jiang Yuqin leave. "Do you really think others are easy to bully? Do you think they should give you money and let you live a good life?"
If Jiang Yuqin hadn't acted like that in her early years and had been nicer to her sister, even if Jiang Yuqin's life story was exposed, Jiang Moli's attitude towards her wouldn't have changed so badly. Jiang Yuqin herself had exhausted the little affection between her family members, and she still had the nerve to criticize others.
"She's really generous. She bought a house for her adopted son." Niu Cuihua said, "When her biological son gets married, can she buy a house for him? Of course she can. And she can buy it in full, so her biological son doesn't have to pay the mortgage."
Niu Cuihua said this deliberately when she was talking to other neighbors. It would be best to let Jiang Yuqin's children know too. Then, if Jiang Yuqin couldn't do it, let's see what they would say.
Niu's mother heard what Niu Cuihua said to others, but she didn't stop her. Jiang Yuqin was really too much. If Jiang Yuqin wanted to do good things, she should just do them. Why did she have to drag others down? She really thought others were good-tempered. Also, since the rest of the Jiang family didn't live here, Jiang Yuqin liked to talk nonsense.
"There's something wrong with this person's brain. It's been so many years, and he's still talking about these things." Niu Cuihua walked home. "We're all from the same street, but he really thinks others are fools."
"Just explain it clearly so people don't misunderstand." Mother Niu said, "Your mother-in-law and the others are too soft-hearted towards Jiang Yuqin. They didn't deal with her, which is why she is like this."
"My mother-in-law and her family don't want to argue with these people. Isn't there a saying? Forgive others when you can." Niu Cuihua said, "My mother-in-law and her family are very well-mannered."
When Ding's mother learned that Jiang Yuqin and her husband were going to pay for Ding Hongwang to buy a house, she thought Jiang Yuqin and her husband were crazy. Ding's mother came to look for Jiang Yuqin and her husband, but Ding Chao was not at home. Only Jiang Yuqin was at home, and the two children had gone out to play.
"What are you thinking? Ding Hongwang is already working. You should let him save money to buy a house instead of paying him." Ding's mother said, "If you really have the money, you should buy a house for yourselves instead of buying one for Ding Hongwang. What are you thinking?"
