Chapter 6: Scaring money is tight, not well-off
Wang Chunfen was already married and had children, so she knew how difficult it was to raise a child. With her own biological child, she could still claim a blood relationship; she couldn't abandon her own child. With children who weren't hers, there was always a layer of separation.
Wang Chunfen knew that Jiang Yuqin liked Ding Chao. Now that Jiang Yuqin and Ding Chao were married, there was no need for her to raise the child.
"No." Jiang Yuqin knew exactly what Ding Chao was thinking. If she didn't treat the child well, Ding Chao would definitely be disappointed in her. "It's just a child..."
"You've only just started taking care of a child, so you don't know how difficult it is. Later, the child will need to go to school and get married, and there will be a lot of expenses." Wang Chunfen counted on her fingers. "Let's not talk about the future, just look at the present. The child is thin, and you still have to buy milk powder to nourish him. Everything he eats, drinks, and goes to the bathroom costs money."
"Do you have any old clothes for your children at home?" Jiang Yuqin asked.
"Yes, yes," Wang Chunfen said. "You can't always let your child wear someone else's hand-me-down clothes. The child isn't your biological child, and it's even harder to raise. If you say something bad about the child, he'll remember it and think you're treating him badly. If you're a little nicer to your biological child, he'll have something to say."
"this……"
"Take your stepmother for example," said Wang Chunfen.
"My stepmother is not nice to me." Jiang Yuqin said.
"..." Wang Chunfen felt that Jiang Yuqin was quite nice to her stepmother. If her stepmother had really treated Jiang Yuqin badly, she should have gone to the countryside as an educated youth instead of staying in the city. "What I mean is, do you feel that your stepmother treats her biological daughter well but treats you badly?"
"How could she not?" Jiang Yuqin said, "She treats her biological daughter better. Not only her, but also my father. They all feel sorry for Jiang Moli. If Jiang Moli's hand is scratched a little, they will take her to the hospital. If they go too late, the wound will heal."
"Isn't that right?" Wang Chunfen said, "When you and your man have your own child, will you still be so nice to this adopted son? If you ignore him a little, even if you don't treat him badly, he will still have something to say."
Wang Chunfen sighed as she watched her friend sink into this situation. If she were him, she would never have married Ding Chao. A young woman like her, still childless, would have to become a mother to someone else's. It wasn't like Ding Chao couldn't help the child in other ways, but he insisted on raising the child himself.
No, Ding Chao is not raising the child himself. He wants Jiang Yuqin to raise the child with him.
"Think carefully, your mother-in-law and her people won't help you raise this child," Wang Chunfen said. "They all want to give the child away, but your husband insists on keeping it. Do you really think your husband wants to marry you? He only married you because others were unwilling to marry him."
"That's because other people don't have good vision." Jiang Yuqin said hurriedly. She thought her friends had misunderstood her man. He was a very good person. He was loyal and righteous. He was a rare good man. "It's just a child. Let's keep it."
It would be a lie to say that Jiang Yuqin had no thoughts in her mind. Jiang Yuqin couldn't just say those words. She had finally married Ding Chao, and she couldn't let Ding Chao hate her.
Wang Chunfen and Jiang Yuqin are good friends, so how could she not know what Jiang Yuqin is thinking?
"Let your mother-in-law and others talk to her," said Wang Chunfen.
"How could they possibly say that?" Jiang Yuqin said.
"I think so too. It's quite difficult," Wang Chunfen said. "If your husband had never married, they would have more to say. But now that your husband and you have obtained a marriage certificate, they don't even have to pay a betrothal gift. They are so happy that they don't even care whether the child stays or goes. Even if the child stays, it's not their turn to raise him."
Wang Chunfen thought Jiang Yuqin was too stupid. The other women knew that they should force Ding Chao to give the child away, but Jiang Yuqin was eager to raise the child.
Previously, Ding Chao went on a blind date, and the other person directly said that they would not raise the child and asked Ding Chao to give the child away, but Ding Chao refused. Jiang Yuqin knew all about it, which was why she didn't dare to say the word of giving the child away.
"You and your husband are already married, and everything is settled. This child..." Wang Chunfen looked at the child, "You'd better think of a way not to let the child follow you all the time. The child is still young and has no memory. If he lives with someone else at this time, the child will not remember you. Others may be able to raise him well, but you... Aren't you afraid that your husband will treat this adopted child better in the future?"
"If they could have sent him away, they would have done so long ago." Jiang Yuqin was helpless. She heard the child hum and she hurriedly looked at the child.
"You..." Wang Chunfen really didn't know what to say. She had already said so much, but Jiang Yuqin still said this, "Forget it, forget it. You will know later."
"It's okay. Ding Chao and I both have jobs, we're both working," Jiang Yuqin said. "We can afford to raise a child."
"Okay." Wang Chunfen said, "I'll send you the child's old clothes someday."
"Are you still going to have children?" Jiang Yuqin asked.
"If she does give birth, can't you just send the clothes over?" Wang Chunfen said, "I heard that family planning is getting stricter and stricter now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."
Wang Chunfen's husband also has to work, so when family planning wasn't strict, he had children. He's worried that if it becomes stricter, he'll lose his job if he has more children than allowed, which would be bad. Anyway, there are rumors that some people want to have more children, so they try to get pregnant early.
"We adopted this child, and we can have another child." Jiang Yuqin said this specifically.
"Yes, yes." Wang Chunfen said.
Jiang Yuqin didn't dare tell Ding Chao about Wang Chunfen's words, for fear that her husband would be upset. Before Jiang Yuqin and Ding Chao got married, she had said that she and Ding Chao would raise the child together. If she said now that she didn't want to raise the child, Ding Chao would definitely be unhappy. Jiang Yuqin didn't want to upset Ding Chao, so when Ding Chao returned home, Jiang Yuqin didn't mention Wang Chunfen, but instead mentioned Ding Chao's parents.
"Do your parents know that we have obtained our marriage certificate?" Jiang Yuqin asked.
"I know." Ding Chao said, "They asked us to come over for dinner when we're free, but... we're short on money right now, so it's hard to hold a wedding banquet."
Ding Chao's parents weren't unwilling to pay for the wedding banquet, but they had more than just Ding Chao as their son, as they also had other children, so there were many things to spend money on. Ding Chao's parents thought that since Jiang Yuqin married Ding Chao without asking for a betrothal gift, she would definitely not mind holding the wedding banquet later.
People are like this, they climb up the pole, and as long as others are a little weaker in attitude, they will step on them harshly.
"It's okay." Jiang Yuqin said, "Money is tight, so I'll just wait."
"We still have to pay the rent." Ding Chao paused, "I'm sorry."
"It's really okay." Jiang Yuqin said, "I'm not someone who can only enjoy happiness with others and can't bear suffering with others. If it were my sister, she wouldn't be able to bear suffering, she just wants to live a good life. We have already registered our marriage, husband and wife are one, we share the burden."
On Saturday morning, Jiang Yuqin and her husband arrived at the Jiang family's house, carrying their child. Jiang Moli hadn't left yet. She had to wait until the afternoon to go to the drama troupe, which was performing in the evening. When Jiang Moli saw Jiang Yuqin and her husband, she immediately thought, "They're on vacation."
"Dad, Mom, and my sister are back from vacation." Jiang Moli said this deliberately.
If Ding Chao hadn't been on vacation, Jiang Yuqin probably wouldn't have brought Ding Chao here.
Of course, these two people had other reasons, such as Jiang's father and mother were not on vacation, and it would be inconvenient for Jiang Yuqin and his wife to come when the elders were not on vacation.
When Jiang's mother heard what Jiang Moli said, she hurried out. She had bought some extra vegetables and meat this morning, thinking that Jiang Yuqin would be bringing Ding Chaoyue over soon. If Jiang Yuqin didn't bring Ding Chaoyue, they would have eaten the food themselves.
No matter what Jiang's father thinks, Jiang's mother still has to prepare more things to avoid not being prepared and making Jiang's father unhappy. Jiang's mother is always so considerate.
Jiang Yuqin glared at Jiang Moli, and Jiang Moli rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuqin.
"You scared the child." Jiang Yuqin hugged the child and glared at Jiang Moli again.
"Dad, my sister glared at me again, she glared at me again." Jiang Moli said, "She glared at me and didn't allow me to roll my eyes at her."
Jiang Moli admitted that she rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuqin without Jiang Yuqin telling her.
As soon as Jiang's father came out, he heard what his youngest daughter said. He didn't think she was wrong.
"Yuqin, this is your sister. Don't scare her all the time." Jiang's father said.
"Dad, you're not going to say my sister is still young, are you? The one in my arms is smaller." Jiang Yuqin said, "Dad, this is your grandson."
"..." Father Jiang thought that he was not his biological grandson at all. No, he was not his grandson.
Father Jiang had a stern face and didn't say anything.
Ding Chao hurried forward with his things. He bought two bottles of wine and a few apples. Jiang Yuqin suggested that they skip the apples after buying the wine, to save Jiang Moli and her mother from having too much, but Ding Chao felt he had to buy some to make the place look more complete. Ding Chao felt guilty. He knew the Jiang family wouldn't approve of his marriage to Jiang Yuqin, but he still got the marriage certificate with Jiang Yuqin.
"Dad." Ding Chao said with a stiff upper lip, "This is a little gift from Yuqin and me."
"It's really a thoughtful gesture." Jiang Moli glanced at the thing in Ding Chao's hand.
The two bottles of liquor were sold at a store near the door, and they were not expensive. Jiang Moli had bought liquor for her father before, but she didn't let him drink too much.
"Moli." Jiang's mother shook her head at Jiang Moli. "Aren't you going to perform today? Are you going out?"
"Wait until the afternoon to go out. There's no need to go out now." Jiang Moli said, "Mom, my sister brought her man back. Can't I stay at home? What era is this? Even in ancient times, a brother-in-law had to meet his sister-in-law and get to know his wife's family."
"Jiang Moli, why are you talking so much?" Jiang Yuqin frowned, "It's like you've eaten gunpowder."
"Omitted." Jiang Moli stuck out her tongue at Jiang Yuqin.
If Jiang Yuqin hadn't been holding a child in her arms, she really wanted to rush to Jiang Moli and give her two big slaps in the face.
Not only did Jiang Moli see that the things in Ding Chao's hand were worthless, Jiang's father also saw it. Jiang's father bought those things more often, so how could he not know the price of those things in Ding Chao's hand?
"When are you having your wedding?" Jiang's father didn't let Jiang Yuqin and her husband sit down. He asked directly about the wedding banquet. Jiang Yuqin and Ding Chao secretly got their marriage certificate, which embarrassed Jiang's father. Jiang's father even apologized to his friends.
"Even though we're getting married, we don't have to hold a wedding banquet right away." Jiang Yuqin was afraid that it would be difficult for Ding Chao and that it would hurt his self-esteem.
Ding Chao told Jiang Yuqin in advance that he was short of money. He also thought that if Jiang's father asked about it, Jiang Yuqin would be able to tell him about it.
"Are you not planning to hold a wedding banquet in the near future?" Jiang's father's expression darkened.
