Chapter 92 Impact That's Her Life
The director had initially worried that Jiang Moli might become complacent. After all, when she went to give birth, the company's revenue was indeed not as good as it should be. It was normal for Jiang Moli to feel a little complacent. She didn't, and she humbly asked the director for advice.
So the director and others told Jiang Moli that everyone was in good condition.
There's a certain risk associated with plays that haven't yet been performed, especially original scripts, rather than adaptations of familiar works like "Romance of the Western Chamber." Original plays are unfamiliar to audiences, and some simply avoid them, preferring older, established works. As some say, let others see it first, to see if it's a good idea or not.
The tickets are quite expensive, so some people don't want to go first. Others want to see new plays and don't like to always see the same old ones. They think that always seeing the same old ones is not very interesting, so they should see more new ones.
Jiang Moli felt that the script was good and the response would definitely be good. If it wasn't very good at first, she could wait for word of mouth to spread. Jiang Moli wasn't too worried about her first new drama after giving birth. She didn't want to play it safe. If she kept playing it safe, she wouldn't be herself.
After work, Jiang Moli didn't continue practicing at work. She had to go back to feed her child and check on him. Jiang Moli had taken note of what the director and the others had said. She would continue practicing after returning home. It was impossible for her to just practice at work.
Jiang Moli knew that everyone had high hopes for this new play, and she couldn't let personal reasons cause the play to be delayed further, so she had to work harder.
"How is it?" Sheng Jiahao asked when he went to pick up Jiang Moli from get off work, before Jiang Moli got in the car.
"It's okay." Jiang Moli got in the car.
The driver drove the car, and Sheng Jiahao and Jiang Moli sat in the back seat, where they could chat.
"Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Sheng Jiahao asked.
"Fortunately, I've been singing opera since I was a child. I'm really not used to staying at home all the time." Jiang Moli said, "When I go on stage, my first performance should be a new play to build momentum for the new play. I have to perform old plays as well, but I still have to perform new ones first."
Those people in the unit have high hopes for Jiang Moli, and Jiang Moli cannot back down.
"Just perform a new one?" Sheng Jiahao said. He didn't know much about opera, but he also knew that new opera might not necessarily become popular.
You have to know that after the drama "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Father's Wife" became a huge hit, many local drama troupes followed suit. Many dramas are like this: some are operas whose names have never been heard of, and those operas are not popular and not many people watch them.
"Yes." Jiang Moli said, "People always have to move forward and see new things. They can't always focus on the same old plays."
"A play is not a person, it really has to be like this." Sheng Jiahao said, "You also have to take care of your health."
"Luckily, there aren't any fighting scenes." Jiang Moli said, "You know what? When we were filming 'Water Margin,' those female martial arts actresses' moves were really great, so swift and powerful. As for me, I can't act out that feeling. There's a difference between fighting scenes performed by opera actors and martial arts."
I can only say that opera actors can make the scenes more beautiful when filming martial arts scenes. However, those martial arts scenes still need to be more courageous and powerful, with the swishing and whirring sounds as if the wind is being driven by them.
"They are really amazing." Jiang Moli said, "They performed very well."
"A professional person." Sheng Jiahao said.
"When I went to act, people asked me why I didn't play Li Shishi," Jiang Moli said. "They knew I played the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West, and they thought I was suitable for Li Shishi. I thought about it and wondered if playing Li Shishi would be better, but the role had already been taken. Others played it well, and I couldn't just ask them to take my place. The crew didn't originally look for me. It was our leaders who found them and tried to squeeze me in."
When Jiang Moli is sure that those things belong to others, she will not fight for them. If it has not been decided yet, then Jiang Moli can fight for it.
"Master Li is very famous," Sheng Jiahao said. "If I play this role well, it will be great."
"Yes." Jiang Moli nodded. "I can only say that I'm not destined to play this role. This drama hasn't aired yet, and I don't know when it will air. If you saw me playing Pan Jinlian... I'm not like that."
"Of course." Sheng Jiahao chuckled. He held Jiang Moli's hand tightly. He knew what Jiang Moli meant. Acting is acting after all. There is still a difference between acting and real life. Sheng Jiahao knew the difference. It was impossible to say that Jiang Moli was the same as the character she played.
Jiang Moli was worried that others would get too involved in the TV series, so she hoped she could play the role more successfully.
When Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao returned home, the meal was ready. Jiang's mother had just taken the child for a walk in the yard, with the child sitting in a stroller and Jiang's mother pushing the stroller.
The weather is getting hotter, and the sun is getting more intense. Jiang's mother no longer takes her child out for walks in the middle of the day, only letting him spend some time outside in the early morning and evening. The doctor said that children need some sun exposure, not just indoors. There are indeed a lot of germs outdoors, but as long as the child isn't touched too much, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
"Wash your hands and eat," Jiang's mother said, "the child just fell asleep."
Jiang Moli glanced at the baby, who looked so tender and soft. "Sleep well."
"You are just afraid that the baby will make trouble for you." Jiang's mother said.
"Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Moli asked.
"The child can't talk yet. He just cries when he's hungry or wet," Jiang's mother said. "That's healthy. Hurry, go eat. If you don't eat now, the child will wake up if you dawdle."
"Let's go eat now." Jiang Moli nodded. She had to see the child after dinner.
Sheng Jiahao walked beside Jiang Moli. He looked at his wife and then at his child. He felt very comfortable.
At this time, Miao Guifeng and his wife bought two rooms. These two rooms were right next to each other, not particularly far away. But it still took some time to walk to the gate of the compound.
Miao Guifeng cleaned up the house, and they bought it at a relatively low price. Miao Guifeng insisted that the seller complete all necessary paperwork. If they couldn't, or if there were disputes, she wouldn't sell it. Miao Guifeng always remembered that the house behind her was going to be demolished, and if so, the compensation had to be clearly paid to the owner. She absolutely didn't want a situation where unclear ownership allowed someone else to dispute the compensation.
When Yang Bingliang and his wife knew that Miao Guifeng and his wife had bought a house, they wanted them to move out. However, Miao Guifeng and his wife had already said that Daya and Erya would live in the house.
"Mom, I still call you mom because you are Bingrong's biological mother and the child's biological grandmother." Miao Guifeng said, "After a while, we will bring Daya and Erya back and let them live here. You'd better not make them unhappy and don't bully them. If you bully them, I will bully your precious grandson, your youngest son's child."
Miao Guifeng didn't take the other members of the Yang family seriously. "We'll live here until Daya and Erya come back. Don't even think about us vacating the room."
"I didn't ask you to vacate the room." Mother Yang hated Miao Guifeng to death. In her eyes, Miao Guifeng was a thorn in the side, a disobedient thorn in the side.
"You say that... No, you don't say that. Otherwise, your youngest son and his family wouldn't have told us to move out." Miao Guifeng said, "This room is ours. Whether we buy a house or not, it's ours."
"I gave you money, but you didn't want it." said Yang's mother.
"Money...are you really going to pay?" Miao Guifeng sneered. "If you really pay us and we can buy an extra room, that's fine. But will you? You won't. You'll just drag your feet and not pay at all. Do you really think I don't know what kind of people you are? You used to coax Bingrong into helping his brother so much, but his brother still hasn't paid him back."
Miao Guifeng didn't ask them to pay back the money, but those people refused to pay, saying that Miao Guifeng didn't have the IOU. It wasn't that Miao Guifeng didn't want to argue with these people, but it was useless to argue with them. If she argued too much, others would be dissatisfied. Miao Guifeng was just stepping on a certain line to make trouble, so that the Yang family could no longer ask Yang Bingrong for money. As long as Yang Bingrong didn't pay, this was more important than anything else. As for the money that had been given, don't even think about getting it back. It was impossible to get it back.
"You just think about cheating us all day long." Miao Guifeng said.
"Alright, if you want Da Ya and Er Ya to live in this room, then just let them live here. How can we not let them live here?" Yang's mother said, "With a mother like you, they..."
"Don't think about leading Da Ya and Er Ya astray. If they are led astray by you, I will still settle the score with you." Miao Guifeng said.
Miao Guifeng knew that these people would definitely say something bad about her in front of Daya and Erya. If she heard it, she would definitely say something bad about Yang's mother and others. These people were not good people. If Miao Guifeng hadn't wanted Daya and Erya to occupy this room, she would not let Daya and Erya live here alone.
"..." Mother Yang just felt annoyed. Miao Guifeng had sent the two children away for several years. At this time, Miao Guifeng still acted as if she cared about her daughters. Mother Yang did not believe that Miao Guifeng really cared about the children.
In the evening, Miao Guifeng also emphasized this to Yang Bingrong.
"This room can only be occupied by Da Ya and Er Ya. Your brother's son cannot live here," Miao Guifeng said. "We have many children in our family, and those two rooms are not enough. Don't even think about letting them live in the living room. They are girls, and it would be inconvenient. They should have their own room so that they can change clothes more conveniently."
"Let Da Ya and Er Ya live there." Yang Bingrong said.
"Da Ya and Er Ya should come back. The schools in the city are good." Miao Guifeng said, "It's just..."
Miao Guifeng thought about Da Ya and Er Ya's past life achievements and decided that these two children were not cut out for studying. She thought it was okay for them to study in the countryside, as neither of them would get into university anyway. If it weren't for the need to occupy this room, Miao Guifeng would have wanted Da Ya and Er Ya to stay in the countryside for a while.
"Education costs money," Miao Guifeng said. "It's not easy for my mother to take care of so many children alone."
Miao Guifeng had noted down her mother's suggestion that she send Da Ya and Er Ya to the city. She couldn't really wait until her mother sent the children back before making other arrangements. She had to prepare early, as children's education and other aspects of their lives required money.
"We saved up a little money and bought a house, but we still owe money to others. Daya and Erya have to go back to the city," Miao Guifeng sighed. "They can spend less money in the countryside, but they have to spend more in the city. I have to sell a lot of roasted sweet potatoes to earn that much money."
"They can help you." Yang Bingrong said.
"I just hope they can really help me," Miao Guifeng said, "I hope they won't be unable to do anything and still need me to take care of them."
"Didn't your mother say that you are a hardworking child?" Yang Bingrong said.
"My mother wants us to take the child back as soon as possible. We have to wait for them to come back to see whether the child is diligent or not." Miao Guifeng said.
In her previous life, Daya was indeed quite capable. If she hadn't been capable, Miao Guifeng wouldn't have brought her back, and might even have given birth to her. Miao Guifeng liked capable daughters who could help her share the burden, not those who needed to be coaxed. Miao Guifeng thought she was like that when she was a child, working hard and never thinking about enjoying herself.
"Children nowadays are precious," Miao Guifeng said. "My mother said the schools in the city are better, so we have to let them study in the city."
"Yes." Yang Bingrong responded. Daya and Erya were both his children, and he had no objection to them studying in the city. If it was Brother Miao and his wife's children who wanted to go to school in the city, Yang Bingrong would not be able to help.
When Zhao Guodong and his wife talked about Niu Cuihua's younger brother in the room, Niu Cuihua was still very unhappy.
"He's just jealous of his elder brother and sister-in-law making so much money," Niu Cuihua said. "My sister-in-law is always thinking about her family. I don't know how much she can do, or whether she can do well in the city. I'm afraid she'll want to ask her family to come over and ask for our help."
Niu Cuihua sighed, thinking that she had never asked her family to come to the city. Niu Cuihua thought that she had not asked her sister-in-law to help her family more. If she wanted to help her family, it would be her and her husband who would do it. She was just worried that her sister-in-law would ask them to help her family, which would be very frustrating.
You can make money in the city, but it's not that easy to make money. Not just anyone can gain a foothold in the city.
"Can't they just farm in the countryside? They can't even farm well, and yet they want to work in the city," Niu Cuihua said, irritated, worried that her younger siblings would affect her life. "Mom has to rent a room for them and pay a month's rent."
"Some factories in the city provide food and accommodation," Zhao Guodong said, "but... they don't give couples a room. A few do, but they're still a minority."
"We can't let them come to our house." Niu Cuihua said, "When we returned to the city, didn't we stay at Mom's house for a long time?"
When Niu Cuihua saw the previous scene, she felt that Jiang's mother Jiang Moli and others were right to ask them to move out. Niu Cuihua just didn't want her younger brothers and sisters to stay in their own rooms. She just felt bad.
"And there's my eldest brother and his wife." Zhao Guodong said, "Maybe they'll go directly to my eldest brother and his wife."
"My eldest brother and his wife are reluctant to spend money," Niu Cuihua said. "Whatever money they save is sent back to the countryside. It's even harder for them to buy a house."
Unlike Miao Guifeng, who possessed memories of her past life, Niu Cuihua didn't know whether her house would be demolished or not. She only knew that making money was incredibly difficult. Niu Cuihua's tofu was selling well, and others said she was making a lot of money. But in reality, she didn't have that much money. Niu Cuihua had to give some of her money to her mother, and the children in the family all needed money. She and her husband still had to pay Jiang Moli back. After careful calculation, they found that the money wasn't enough.
If Niu Cuihua and his wife didn't owe Jiang Moli money, they would have more money on hand. Before they exchanged all the money, they had to be frugal and not spend too much.
"Let's wait and see, they must be coming to find us." Niu Cuihua said.
While Jiang Moli and her colleagues were still rehearsing, the company had already spread the news that Jiang Moli would be performing at the end of June, and some promotional posters were also put up. The company also had a TV station run an advertisement to let everyone know that they had a new play coming out, and Jiang Moli would be the lead actress.
Jiang Moli is not in charge of publicity matters, and the people in the unit can do whatever they want to promote it.
When He Jingxian saw Jiang Moli going on stage again on TV at home, her eyes sparkled. When He Jingxian gave birth to her first child, she originally wanted to go on stage as soon as possible, but her parents-in-law urged her to have a second child, so she didn't have the chance to go on stage more often. She soon became pregnant, and then she had her third child.
During that time, she was mostly pregnant and having children, so she didn't have much time to perform on stage. By the time He Jingxian was no longer pregnant and having children, her figure had changed. Although He Jingxian tried hard to adjust her figure, it was still difficult for her to return to her original shape.
He Jingxian didn't know what Jiang Moli looked like now. She hadn't seen Jiang Moli after giving birth. He Jingxian couldn't help it. She wanted to go and see Jiang Moli to see what she looked like.
Even though He Jingxian and Zhou Yaran worked in the same unit and were good friends with Jiang Moli, Zhou Yaran rarely talked about Jiang Moli at work, so He Jingxian had no way of getting more information about Jiang Moli from her. Even if Zhou Yaran had told her, He Jingxian still wanted to go and see for herself. Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Qi Shixin quickly turned on another TV station and stopped watching the provincial channel. He Jingxian walked over to the TV again and turned back to the provincial channel. She wanted to see the commercial and make sure she was seeing it right.
"This TV station is showing commercials," Qi Shixin said. "My kids don't like watching it either."
"They didn't make a fuss." He Jingxian said, "Only they can watch it, can't I?"
"..." Qi Shixin was speechless, "The child is still young..."
"They are all my children," He Jingxian said. "They should listen more to me as their biological mother. They should support me in everything I do."
"Look, look." Qi Shixin said, forget it, since there was still no fuss, then he would not bother with He Jingxian.
Qi Shixin didn't like to talk to He Jingxian because of her current temper, as he was worried that she would say something unpleasant. Qi Shixin didn't want to argue with He Jingxian in front of the child. He Jingxian didn't care about the child, but Qi Shixin couldn't ignore the child.
On a new day, He Jingxian covered her face with a scarf and quietly went to the vicinity of Provincial Xiaobaihua. She went there early because she wanted to see what Jiang Moli looked like at work.
Jiang Moli got out of the car, and before she had taken a few steps, Sheng Jiahao got out again. Sheng Jiahao said a few words to Jiang Moli, handed her something, and then left.
He Jingxian stared at Jiang Moli intently. She looked at Jiang Moli's figure, which seemed to have not changed since before she gave birth. Then she looked at Jiang Moli's face, which was still so tender. As He Jingxian looked at her, she felt angry. Jiang Moli had better continue to have children. One son was not enough. She should give birth to several sons, so that the children would not be lonely.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The guard saw He Jingxian.
When He Jingxian was discovered, she subconsciously wanted to hide.
"I'm talking to you." The guard walked up to He Jingxian.
"I came to see my former classmates." He Jingxian was blocked by the security guard and failed to escape. "I used to be a student of Nancheng Art College. Many people in your unit are my alumni."
"So it is what you say?" The guard didn't quite believe what He Jingxian said.
Jiang Moli was about to enter the unit when she saw this scene and recognized He Jingxian.
"She did graduate from Nancheng Art College." Jiang Moli didn't mention that she and He Jingxian were classmates. "Let her go."
When the guard heard Jiang Moli's words, he said, "She looks weird with her face covered like this."
"Maybe she is afraid that others will recognize her." Jiang Moli said.
Jiang Moli was about to leave after she finished speaking when He Jingxian called out to her from behind, "Jiang Moli!"
Jiang Moli stopped but didn't look back.
"Jiang Moli, do you still plan to have another child?" He Jingxian asked.
"..." Jiang Moli didn't expect He Jingxian to ask such a question. She didn't plan to continue to get pregnant and have children. She only planned to have one child. Many people in the unit knew Jiang Moli's plan.
Jiang Moli didn't tell He Jingxian, she went straight into the office. Whether Jiang Moli wanted to continue giving birth or not had nothing to do with He Jingxian, Jiang Moli didn't need to report to He Jingxian.
He Jingxian stood there watching Jiang Moli leave, feeling uncomfortable. Why didn't Jiang Moli answer her? He Jingxian didn't catch up with Jiang Moli, and didn't ask any more questions. Jiang Moli and He Jingxian were not friends, so He Jingxian didn't ask Jiang Moli too much, and she knew that Jiang Moli would not answer her.
It was already very good that Jiang Moli could testify for He Jingxian and say that He Jingxian was indeed a graduate of Nancheng Art College. Jiang Moli could not say anything else to He Jingxian. The relationship between the two was not good in the past, and it was impossible for the relationship to naturally improve with the passage of time.
He Jingxian didn't stand there for too long, she had to go back to her unit.
After returning to the South City Theatre Troupe, He Jingxian's mind was full of Jiang Moli's figure. Jiang Moli's figure was still so good. He Jingxian thought it must be because Jiang Moli only gave birth to one child, so Jiang Moli could still maintain such a good figure. If Jiang Moli had more children, her figure would definitely not be so good.
He Jingxian thought that after giving birth to three children, it would be difficult for her to regain her previous figure. He Jingxian was undoubtedly jealous of Jiang Moli. At her age, she was already regressing and dared not think about those major roles. If she retreated, she would continue to retreat. Jiang Moli, on the other hand, was at the peak of her career. Of course, this was before she had children. He Jingxian hoped that Jiang Moli would no longer be sought after, but she also knew that this was unlikely.
"The provincial Xiaobaihua is rehearsing a new play, and it will be on stage soon."
"The mainstay is back, it's different now, he's going to do a new play."
"I don't know if this new play will be good. I'm worried it won't be good after just giving birth."
"Whether the effect is good or not is not important. Jiang Moli has already won the award. She has been recognized."
"That's right. She's already won an award. It doesn't matter whether she plays in a new play or not. If the effect is not good, then she can act in other plays."
"This is just an attempt. I have a solid foundation and I'm not afraid."
…
Many people in the South City Drama Troupe knew about the provincial Xiaobaihua new play. The circle was so small that the news spread quickly.
Some people think that Jiang Moli has taken too much risk and it might not be worth it. Wouldn't it be better for Jiang Moli to perform other plays first?
When He Jingxian heard those people talking about Provincial Xiao Baihua's new play, she also felt that Jiang Moli was too bold. Jiang Moli might think that she was already a famous actor, so she could directly perform in a new play after being away from the stage for more than a year.
Fail, fail, fail!
He Jingxian thought to herself that many original plays faded into obscurity after their release, with some troupes performing them a few times before discontinuing them. Plays that didn't perform well were not popular with the audience, and ticket sales were low.
When Zhou Yaran learned that Jiang Moli was going to act in a new play, she didn't tell Jiang Moli not to act. She hadn't seen Jiang Moli in the past few days and didn't know what the new play was like. Zhou Yaran had talked to Zhou's mother and said that if Jiang Moli could perform well in the new play and the new play could become popular, then Jiang Moli's influence would be even greater. If Jiang Moli's new play didn't receive a good response, Jiang Moli could still act in other plays. At most, she would be criticized for her bad script and laughed at.
If Jiang Moli doesn't take on new roles and stays put, others will say that Jiang Moli has no orders.
The provincial Xiaobaihua leaders have high hopes for Jiang Moli. Jiang Moli can only move forward, not backward. Only if Jiang Moli moves forward can she have a brighter future. Otherwise, Jiang Moli will easily become a flash in the pan, not long-lasting. Jiang Moli must have more representative works.
Zhou Yiran glanced at He Jingxian and saw that her expression twisted for a moment. Sure enough, He Jingxian still loved to compete with Jiang Moli.
When Zhou Yiran went to find Jiang Moli, she vividly described He Jingxian's expression to Jiang Moli.
"At the time, someone in our unit was talking about you, and she was listening nearby. Her expression was really grim." He Jingxian said, "She really was...she was just jealous of you."
"She came to our office this morning," Jiang Moli said, "with her face covered with a scarf, and was discovered by the security guard."
"Ah?" Zhou Yiran was surprised. "She wants to join the Provincial Hundred Flowers? Come on, with her figure, why would she join the Provincial Hundred Flowers? Go in to clean the place?"
"She probably didn't want to come into our unit. She probably just wanted to see what I'm like now." Jiang Moli looked down at her bowl. "She asked me if I wanted to have another child, but I didn't answer her."
"Don't tell her. She's already given birth to three children, so she wants you to have more too. That way, you won't have time to perform on stage." Zhou Yiran said, "She's really mean."
"She...she just said a few words." Jiang Moli said, "I didn't say anything else to her and went into the office."
"Alas." Zhou Yiran sighed. "Among those of us who graduated with you, no one has reached your level. Some people who seemed more talented didn't develop very well in the end. He Jingxian is a good example. At the beginning, she..."
"It doesn't matter what she does. This is her own choice," Jiang Moli said. "We didn't make this choice for her, and we can't change her future. We can't make the decision for her. Before making a choice, we can't be sure it will be good in the end. If the choice is not good, then we can only grit our teeth and bear it."
"That's right. It's a good choice... Once you make a choice, there's not much room for regret." Zhou Yiran said, "He Jingxian exercises regularly now. It's too difficult for her to regain her previous figure. In our industry, we place too much emphasis on physical appearance. If you don't have a good figure, you won't look good on stage. That's the original sin. The audience comes to see the show, and they also want to see good-looking people."
"It's a pleasure to look at." Jiang Moli said, "This is how it is in this line of work. If you don't have a good figure or aren't tall enough, that won't work either."
"Some people in our unit are not tall enough, so they wear height-enhancing pads," Zhou Yiran said. "When putting on makeup, the hairstyle is also very particular. It has to be a hairstyle that makes you look taller."
Zhou Yiran knew about these things. Some people use height-increasing pads to make their legs look longer, which is quite good-looking. However, using height-increasing pads makes walking difficult and may not be as natural. Those people still need to practice walking in height-increasing pads.
"Are you confident in your new play?" Zhou Yiran asked, "Can it succeed?"
"Confidence? I say I have confidence, do you believe me?" Jiang Moli said, "I'm still a little nervous. I'm still worried that I won't perform well and that the effect won't be good. You know, this new play is very important to me. It would be best if it were a huge success, but if not, a small success would be fine."
Jiang Moli thought so. As long as the response was not too bad, she could still act and save her reputation. If the response was too bad, then there was no hope. She should not continue to act in this new drama. This also showed that her appeal was still limited.
"It's bound to be a huge success," Zhou Yiran said. "You have to trust your own judgment. Since you chose this book, it means the content must be very good."
"I trust the director and the screenwriter," Jiang Moli said, "and leave the rest to the audience."
"The audience will definitely see how good you are." Zhou Yiran held Jiang Moli's hand tightly, "Save the tickets for me in advance. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy any."
"Okay, I'll save tickets for you." Jiang Moli chuckled, "If you all let me save tickets, then they will all belong to you, my relatives and friends."
"No, don't give them the tickets now. Give them later." Zhou Yiran said, "Give them to me first. I want to see it first and have a glimpse."
Zhou Yiran wants to support her best friend and tell her not to worry, as her friend will definitely succeed.
Jiang Moli felt good when she saw Zhou Yiran supporting her so much.
In the evening, Jiang Moli returned home. She first looked at the child, fed the child, and then ate. Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao stayed in the bedroom together. The two of them were just lying together. Teacher Lu said that they had to wait a few months before they could have sex, which would be good for Jiang Moli's health.
Sheng Jiahao naturally listened to Teacher Lu. As long as it was good for Jiang Moli's health, Sheng Jiahao would not disobey.
"I met He Jingxian today. She was wearing a veil and was discovered by the security guard of our unit." Jiang Moli applied the skin care products.
"What is she doing in your unit?" Sheng Jiahao was puzzled. He didn't like He Jingxian at all. He Jingxian was too scheming, but He Jingxian was not a very smart person.
"She asked me if I wanted to have another child, but I didn't answer her." Jiang Moli said, "I told Yaran when she came to our unit. I guess He Jingxian just wanted to see what I've become. We used to be classmates."
"Don't worry about her. If she comes to your company again, don't bother with her." Sheng Jiahao said, "She is not the same as you. Even if you are both opera singers, it is still different."
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Moli said, "Ya Ran also said that if He Jingxian had only one child instead of three, it would be much better. What Ya Ran said makes sense. For some people, having one child is not a bad thing. It does help them to have a better body shape."
"She can choose not to give birth." Sheng Jiahao said, "If we give birth to this child, don't we still have a chance to discuss it?"
When Jiang Moli first became pregnant, Teacher Lu even wondered if Sheng Jiahao had forced her to do so. Sheng Jiahao wouldn't have forced Jiang Moli; he respected her opinions. The couple had discussed the matter and agreed to do it, so no one should regret it.
"Her in-laws are quite powerful," Jiang Moli said. "She's not from here... As for me, I married you. You and my parents understand me and respect my ideas. It's up to me to have a baby whenever I want."
Jiang's mother told Jiang Moli to have a baby sooner, but Teacher Lu said there was no rush. Jiang Moli had a good in-law family, and they didn't let her have a baby earlier. If it were another family, they probably wouldn't be so easy to talk to. He Jingxian is a good example. He Jingxian thought she could sing well if she stayed in the Nancheng Drama Troupe, but who would have thought that she would be in a big pit behind the scenes.
"This is also because you are good." Sheng Jiahao said, "You deserve it."
"It's not a question of whether I'm worthy or not, but that you guys are thinking about me." Jiang Moli said, "You guys are pretty good in yourselves."
Jiang Moli has always been grateful to her in-laws. Teacher Lu and others are so kind to her, which is why Jiang Moli can sing opera with peace of mind.
Now that Jiang Moli has given birth, Teacher Lu and others will help take care of the child, so Jiang Moli doesn't have to worry too much. Teacher Lu didn't say that the child needs breast milk, nor did she let Jiang Moli stay at home to feed the child.
He Jingxian gave birth to a child and breastfed the child, which took a long time. He Jingxian is not involved in the family affairs now, but her in-laws can't help but talk. He Jingxian still has to withstand a certain amount of pressure, while Jiang Moli does not have pressure from her in-laws.
Jiang Moli mainly wants to be bold and try her best to see how far she can go and what kind of person she can become.
"Let's not talk about her." Jiang Moli said, "That's her life."
When He Jingxian returned home, she was still angry with Qi Shixin. Qi Shixin just felt that He Jingxian was inexplicable, as he had not done anything wrong today.
"The child is still here, can you be nicer?" Qi Shixin said.
"Good attitude?" He Jingxian said, "I'm just too nice to you guys, too nice."
“…” Qi Shixin was speechless and let He Jingxian continue talking.
When He Jingxian's eldest daughter saw her biological mother like that, she didn't like her biological mother very much. He Jingxian didn't care whether her three daughters minded her attitude or not. She gave birth to them and she had done them a great favor.
Jiang Moli has been rehearsing very hard recently. She joined the rehearsal later than everyone else, and her role is important, so she has to work harder and not hold everyone back.
Although Jiang Moli joined the rehearsal later, after a few rehearsals, it was no longer apparent that she was a latecomer. Jiang Moli's singing was very stable and her performance was very consistent, not at all worse than before she gave birth.
"Did you still practice at home when you were pregnant?" Qiao Yuwei thought Jiang Moli was amazing. Jiang Moli sang so well after just a few rehearsals.
If Qiao Yuwei were to rehearse a few times, she would still not be able to reach Jiang Moli's level.
"Yes, I have to practice my voice." Jiang Moli replied, "If I don't practice my voice and let it go, it will be difficult to recover. I still have to practice. I can't just focus on eating because I'm going to have a baby. I don't have to do housework at home and don't have to worry about other things. I just eat and practice my voice, and it will be much better."
"You're already preparing to go on stage before you even gave birth." Qiao Yuwei sighed, "When I was pregnant, I did practice, but not much."
Qiao Yuwei's in-laws would say she only made a few bucks, so why should she be so serious? Qiao Yuwei thought about it and realized it made sense. She only made a few bucks, not a lot, and she was pregnant, so her moods were so volatile that she sometimes wanted to slack off and not work harder. After giving birth and her hormones stabilized, Qiao Yuwei regretted not exercising more. If she had, she would have been able to get back to her previous level faster.
"No wonder you are so powerful." Qiao Yuwei said.
"It depends on your personal habits." Jiang Moli said, "Pregnancy and childbirth are already difficult. If you want to rest for a while, then rest for a while."
"Yes, that's what I thought at the time." Qiao Yuwei said. Pregnancy sometimes makes her feel uncomfortable, so she thought about not doing those things.
Qiao Yuwei envied Jiang Moli, but when she thought about how self-disciplined she was, she realized that she really deserved to be successful, while she was much lazier than Jiang Moli.
In early June, Niu Cuihua's younger brother, Niu Jingshan, and his sister-in-law, He Zhaodi, came to Nancheng. He Zhaodi had been taught to be kind to her brothers since she was a child. When she got married, she also thought about her brothers from her mother's family. After she married into her husband's family, she often brought her own things back to her mother's family.
Fortunately, Niu Cuihua's younger brothers and sisters-in-law lived separately, so they could not send other things from the Niu family to the He family.
"Don't we live here?" He Zhaodi was very unhappy when she heard that Niu Cuihua wanted her and her husband to live somewhere else.
"Sister, you've been a city dweller for a few years, and you already despise us?" Niu Jingshan said this immediately after He Zhaodi glanced at him, fearing that expressing his opinion too late would make his wife unhappy.
