Chapter 104: The Prediction of Being Brave is Really Accurate
"I won't look for it anymore." Qi Shixin said.
"If you look for them, what will happen to these three children?" asked Qi's mother.
"Before, He Jingxian didn't care about the children, so didn't we have to take care of them ourselves?" Qi Shixin said, "The children are still young. If we find someone else, we don't know what their character will be like, or if there will be other problems. We have three children, so there's no need for more."
After Qi Shixin started raising his own child, he realized that raising a child was incredibly difficult. He hadn't felt that much before, and since he'd raised his own child, he hadn't considered having more children.
"You... don't want your son anymore?" Qi's mother frowned.
"No," Qi Shixin said. "Mom, don't even think about finding me one. I have three children. Even if I find them a stepmother who treats them badly, it's all in vain. Alas, I still have to trouble you to take care of the children. I have to go to work and don't have time to look after them during the day."
"They're my granddaughters. Of course I'll take care of them. There's no way I wouldn't take care of them," Qi's mother said. "If you want to find someone, it's not impossible. It might be harder with three children, but you can still find someone."
Qi's mother hadn't told Qi Shixin to give the three children away. The three children belonged to the Qi family, and were related to them by blood. It was impossible for Qi's mother to do such a vicious thing. Her family was well off, not so poor that they couldn't afford to raise the children, so she had to let the children stay.
"Since you don't want to find one, then don't look for it for now." Qi's mother thought that if Qi Shixin took care of the child for a while, maybe Qi Shixin would say that he wanted to find a partner.
Most men can't stay single forever. They will always think about finding another partner, thinking that with a partner, there will be someone to take care of the family, and things will be much better. Qi's mother also wants her son to live a more comfortable life and doesn't want him to have a bad life.
It is not easy for a grown man to take care of three children.
"That's it for now." Qi Shixin breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried his mother would force him to find a partner. He really didn't have the energy to do anything else right now. Three children were enough; there was really no need for so many. Qi Shixin wasn't afraid of being laughed at for only having daughters. Judging from the current situation, having three daughters was good. At least he wouldn't have to worry about the bride price or what he would do if he had to pay it.
Qi Shixin worked for a salary, but it wasn't particularly high. When He Jingxian didn't bring her salary home, Qi Shixin would spend all of it, and also borrow some money from his parents. Before they got married, Qi Shixin wasn't so frugal, and when He Jingxian was still managing the household, Qi Shixin wasn't so organized. After He Jingxian stopped managing the household, Qi Shixin became more organized.
He had to make a plan. Qi Shixin didn't have that much money, and he was embarrassed to ask He Jingxian for money. Now that Qi Shixin and He Jingxian were divorced, it was even less likely that he would ask He Jingxian for money. He didn't need He Jingxian to pay child support for his child, and Qi Shixin would work hard to raise the child himself.
As for He Jingxian's matter, everyone will just talk about it and it will be over.
He Jingxian was at work, and even though she heard people talking about her, she didn't dare rush over. If He Jingxian and Qi Shixin were a couple, with her back to Aunt Qi, she might have rushed over. But now, it was impossible for her to rush over. He Jingxian was worried that the matter would become too serious and the company leader would not let her stay, and Aunt Qi would not be able to speak up for her.
Although He Jingxian has already participated in two TV dramas, both were supporting roles. She cannot guarantee that she will receive TV drama projects in the future, so she still needs to keep a formal job. Even if she can only get a basic salary every month, it is better than nothing. He Jingxian still needs to participate in some performances so that she can earn more money.
When He Jingxian was with Qi Shixin, she didn't have to spend a lot of money, or even any money at all, because the Qi family arranged everything for her. Now He Jingxian has to spend her own money, and she has to buy all the pots, pans, and utensils herself.
"How can she still have the nerve to stay in our unit?"
"Since she joined the unit until now, how many times has she performed on stage?"
"I originally thought she was going to give her best effort in the performance, but what happened?"
"Don't count on her. She's just like that. She relies on her connections to do whatever she wants."
"Isn't she divorced now?"
"Even though they're divorced, she's still the child's biological mother. People won't give her too much trouble and will still help her a little."
…
He Jingxian felt bad when she heard these words. These people were not paying attention at all, and she was not standing far away, and these people were talking quite loudly.
Zhou Yaran saw this scene, but she didn't say much. She did talk a few words to Jiang Moli, and also to her husband, but she didn't like to say those things in front of He Jingxian. Everyone gossips, it just depends on the extent of the gossip.
At least, Zhou Yaran didn't want to make things too difficult for He Jingxian. It didn't matter whether He Jingxian continued to stay in the company or not. After all, He Jingxian and Zhou Yaran were classmates, so Jiang Moli couldn't make things too difficult for He Jingxian.
Zhou Yiran didn't say much, so Jiang Moli was even less likely to say anything.
Last year's year-end bonuses had already been distributed, and Jiang Moli was in a good mood when she saw them. Although Jiang Moli had only started performing again in the second half of last year, the bonus was quite large, even higher than many others. Although those people had been working at the company all year, they had not played such a significant role as Jiang Moli, and many audiences came just for her. The company leaders knew this.
Before Jiang Moli became pregnant and gave birth, everyone might have thought that she wasn't that important, and that other people would have tickets to their performances, so the difference wouldn't be that big. After Jiang Moli became pregnant and gave birth, those people understood that Jiang Moli was a very important person, and that she could bring a lot of revenue to the company. Under such circumstances, the company certainly couldn't give Jiang Moli too little bonus; giving her too little would be outrageous.
When the finance department distributes bonuses, some people will still look at how much bonuses others have and compare them. After some people in the unit knew that Jiang Moli had a lot of bonuses, they did not feel jealous.
In the past, some people thought Jiang Moli's bonus was too much. Now, they just want Jiang Moli's bonus to be higher, so they can get more bonuses too. They love the days when Jiang Moli is on stage. Sure enough, this kind of thing needs to be compared before and after. When Jiang Moli was pregnant, she performed for six months, but in the second half of that year, the tickets were not good. The company was in a bad mood, and everyone was in a bad mood. So the bonus was a little less.
After Jiang Moli received the prize, she took it home.
"Why put it on the table?" Jiang's mother saw Jiang Moli put the money on the table.
"I'll give you some." Jiang Moli took out some of the money and handed it to Jiang's mother. "I'll use the rest to buy a gold bracelet."
Jiang Moli was very happy, this was the result of her own hard work.
"The money you make is not as much as your husband earns." Jiang's mother said.
"Our jobs are different, so we can't compare them," Jiang Moli said. "If I keep comparing myself to him, will I even want to live?"
"Are you happy?" asked Jiang's mother.
"Happy." Jiang Moli said.
"The child is still so young, and you still have to go out and perform frequently. This money is hard-earned." Jiang's mother finally put away the money and didn't say anything polite to Jiang Moli. "When you were a child, you made money on stage and thought about buying candy to share with your friends."
"That was in the past. They don't need the candy I buy them now," Jiang Moli said. "When I was little, I always wanted others to know what I had done and how well I had done. I had a bit of a desire to show off. Now that I'm this old, I don't think about showing off anymore."
Jiang Moli thought back to her childhood and wondered why she did those things. At that time, her friends were very happy to eat the candies Jiang Moli bought. They also told her to work harder because they would have more candies later. Jiang Moli said that she would work harder and would definitely behave better. She told them to wait and she would definitely buy more food for them and would not let them regret being her friend.
Once, Jiang Moli bought a lot of candies, but Jiang Yuqin snatched them away. Jiang Yuqin said that since Jiang Moli had so much candies, she should have some too. Jiang Moli said that she earned the money herself, but Jiang Yuqin didn't believe her and insisted that Jiang's parents were partial.
Jiang Moli hid the things, and Jiang Yuqin had to get them back.
When Zhao Guodong was still at home, Jiang Yuqin and Jiang Moli lived in the same room, and Jiang Yuqin often caused trouble for Jiang Moli.
"You haven't seen Xiaoxue and the others for a long time, right?" asked Jiang's mother.
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded. "During the Chinese New Year, I was busy myself, so I didn't invite them over for dinner. There was no other way. Everyone has grown up and has their own jobs. They are all busy with their own things, so it's hard to get together."
"Aren't you afraid that people will say you're famous and won't meet them?" Jiang's mother asked.
"When I'm at home, they can come over anytime. If they really think that way, then we're not friends," Jiang Moli said.
Fan Xiaoxue is still running the shop. She can't always let others help her run the shop. She still has to run the shop herself and do more things herself. Fan Xiaoxue's business is okay. She knows about the things going on in the Shi family. She laughs behind their backs and gossips with others.
At the beginning, Shi's mother had been complaining about Fan Xiaoxue. Shi Nan and Xie Shaojun were now having money sent to them every month. They themselves had not come to Fan Xiaoxue, and Fan Xiaoxue did not care about Shi Nan and Xie Shaojun coming over. Shi's mother knew that Shi Nan was still giving money, so she had been complaining about Fan Xiaoxue privately.
You know, Shi Nan didn't give money to Shi's parents every month. It can be said that Shi Nan was more active in giving money to Fan Xiaoxue. Shi Nan wasn't giving money out of filial piety, but hush money, so naturally he had to be more active.
Shi Nan didn't want Fan Xiaoxue to cause any trouble, so he tried to suppress her if he could.
"Are the prices of things going to go up again recently?" Niu Cuihua came to Fan Xiaoxue's shop and asked again.
"The price will go up, and it will go up again later," Fan Xiaoxue said. "Some items have a long shelf life, so you can buy more. If you want to buy more, I'll buy more when I go to wholesale. Many people are scrambling to get the goods right now. When I'm buying, I also ask people to buy more for me."
Fan Xiaoxue was also worried that the price would be higher later. With the cost going up, she would have to raise her prices as well. Even with the price increase, people still bought those things. Fan Xiaoxue thought, there's no need to worry too much. Prices are going up everywhere, not just here.
"Then please help us get some more stuff," Niu Cuihua said. "More salt and other things. We originally wanted to buy more before the New Year, but even if we buy more, we'll use it up quickly. With the current prices, we don't know how much they'll go up in the future."
"Let's stock up first. They're all good stuff," Fan Xiaoxue said. "If the prices go up later, won't we still have to buy them? The costs will be spread out, and the prices of the things we sell will have to increase too. Sometimes, even a single day's difference can make the prices different. It's the same with the things in our store. When people ask me why the prices have gone up, I tell them to go out and see if others have also increased their prices. If everyone else has raised their prices, they can't accuse me of raising them."
"Well, the price of our tofu and dried tofu has also increased a bit," Niu Cuihua said. "We have to raise the price. Sometimes we were worried that people wouldn't buy them. Fortunately, it's not so bad."
"Everything's going up in price. Maybe your tofu's price increase is relatively small." Fan Xiaoxue said, "I don't know when it will stabilize."
Fan Xiaoxue sighed. She was buying more goods now, but it depended on the type of goods. Some goods wouldn't sell well and would expire. When she was buying them, they'd told her not to buy too much if they weren't selling well. They didn't want Fan Xiaoxue and her friends to return expired goods. They bought as much as they could sell, so they could sell it to others.
Especially recently, some people have been rushing in as if there's something to be snatched up. When Fan Xiaoxue was trying to get some stock, some of it still hadn't arrived.
"Has your dad gone back?" Fan Xiaoxue asked. "I haven't seen him for several days."
"He went back." Niu Cuihua said, "There are a lot of things in the countryside, and he's worried about them. The expenses are high here in the city, so he's taking the children back."
"Have they all gone back?" Fan Xiaoxue asked again.
"Not really. My eldest brother's eldest son stayed here," Niu Cuihua said. "His grades weren't good, so he stopped studying. My eldest brother bought a house, so he has a place to live, so he let the eldest son stay. He can also help with things in the store."
"It's better for them to stay. They can't make much money in the countryside, so it's better for them to come to the city." Fan Xiaoxue said, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are really amazing. They bought a house so quickly."
"The location of the house I bought is not as good as it used to be," Niu Cuihua said. "I even borrowed money to buy it."
"Anyway, the house has already been bought," Fan Xiaoxue said. "Having a place to live makes me feel much more at ease. It's better than living in a shop all the time. Living in a shop is tiring, and I have to sort things out a lot more."
"The house they live in now is a little far from the shop, so they used to ride tricycles to get there," Niu Cuihua said. "It took more than half an hour."
"It's quite close," Fan Xiaoxue said. "It's always better to have a place to stay. Sleeping in a shop isn't easy to rest. Resting at home is always better."
"My elder brother and his wife also suggested that it would be better to sleep in the shop to save some time," said Niu Cuihua.
"That's not what I meant." Fan Xiaoxue said, "It's hard to sleep in the shop, so you can rest well at home. If your eldest brother and sister-in-law's children come to help, they can have a much easier time."
"Well, if you help me buy some more things and send them directly to me later, I will pay you." Niu Cuihua said.
"Okay." Fan Xiaoxue said.
When Jiang's mother went to Niu Cuihua's house, she found that there were a lot of things piled up in Niu Cuihua's room. Niu Cuihua even built a shed in the yard. Some things could be placed outside, but the more expensive items had to be kept indoors. Even the room where Niu's mother slept was filled with a lot of things.
"You bought so many things?" Jiang's mother sighed.
"Yeah." Niu Cuihua nodded. "The prices of things outside are rising too fast. We want to buy more things. Those people say that once the prices go up, they can't be reduced. They will continue to rise. I asked Xiaoxue to help buy more things. I also bought some spices in advance. But I don't dare to buy too much, for fear that they will get moldy and damp."
"We need to stock up on some more stuff," Jiang's mother said. "But we can't stock up on too much stuff. We'll need it someday."
"Once it's used up, we'll buy more." Niu Cuihua said, "We should buy as much as we can now. Let's buy more salt, it's easier to store."
"Buy it, buy it." Jiang's mother said.
"Mom, do you buy it over there?" Niu Cuihua asked.
"I didn't buy so many things." Jiang's mother said.
Sheng Jiahao and his wife were rich, so they didn't need to eat so much salt. They just needed to buy a little more of some things. Sheng Jiahao and his wife didn't go out to buy things, because the servants at home would take care of it.
Jiang's mother rarely went out to buy these things. The chef would buy the ingredients and seasonings. He even suggested some things would be better. Jiang's mother took a closer look and realized that what he said was right. After all, he was a professional chef, while Jiang's mother was not. There was still a gap between them.
Jiang's mother was walking on the street and saw other people carrying a lot of things. They bought a lot of things. After Jiang's mother returned home, she looked around the house and found that there were indeed not so many things piled up.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Jiang Moli saw her mother looking around. She looked at her son and then at her mother.
Jiang Moli was sitting in the living room taking care of her baby. She happened to be resting at home today and did not go to work.
"Your sister-in-law and her family have stockpiled a lot of stuff. I walked over to their room and saw a lot of stuff under and around the bed. They even built a shed in the yard just to store their stuff," Jiang's mother said. "The prices of things out there are rising so fast. They're all trying to buy things early so they can get a better deal."
"Is that so? Then we have to buy more things." Jiang Moli said, "The prices of those things won't be low, and they will increase. If we buy them earlier, they can be cheaper and we can save a lot of costs."
"Some things need to be ordered in advance," Jiang's mother said. "If you want to buy more now, you may not be able to buy it."
"It's in stock," Jiang Moli said. "It's not in stock now, but it will be available soon. The factories are working overtime to produce it. Actually, there's no need to worry too much. When prices go up, wages will go up too. It will always match up."
"Salaries haven't increased, and prices have skyrocketed," Jiang's mother said. "Your father and I only get a small monthly pension, and the price of rice and paper towels is already high. If we weren't living with you and eating your food, we probably wouldn't have enough money to spend."
Jiang's mother hadn't thought it was anything to be nervous about before, but today, when she saw Niu Cuihua's hoarded goods and people carrying lots of stuff on the street, she started to feel a bit nervous. Jiang's mother had just seen others buying things, and she wanted to buy some too, but in the end, she didn't.
"It's enough to spend." Jiang Moli said, "It's just not completely stable yet. Just wait, it will get better. We still have to live our lives."
Jiang Moli doesn't worry about so many things, just like she doesn't know what's going on in Sheng Jiahao's company, so she doesn't ask too much. Sheng Jiahao has been quite busy these days, but he still returns home on time. When Jiang Moli went to perform, Sheng Jiahao even went to pick her up in person.
With prices soaring, those companies are also affected and they have to make adjustments.
"Mom, please help me look after the baby." Jiang Moli said, "I'm a little hungry, I need to eat something."
"Okay." Jiang's mother said.
"Is the baby hungry too?" Jiang Moli asked, "Give him some fruit puree to eat."
"Go eat yours." Jiang's mother said.
In the evening, Sheng Jiahao came back. After dinner, Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao pushed the baby to take a walk in the yard. The baby still liked being outside. As long as he was not inside the house, the baby was much happier.
"Once he can walk, I guess he will run out by himself." Jiang Moli said.
"Mom and the others are here, he can't run far." Sheng Jiahao said, "The door is closed, so if he runs around, he can only stay at home."
"Children are like that when they grow up a little bit." Jiang Moli said, "By the way, prices have risen so much recently. Has your company been affected?"
"It's not a big problem," Sheng Jiahao said. "The original contract amounts were fixed, and the subsequent amounts will be raised. We don't collapse so easily. There is always a buffer period when signing contracts with upstream and downstream companies. It's impossible to say that the previous contracts will be based on the current prices. We also compare them with costs and are still profitable. If we weren't, many factories would have gone bankrupt. It's just that there are more things to deal with recently."
"That's good. I don't understand these things and can't help you." Jiang Moli said.
"Just focus on your work," Sheng Jiahao said. "Everything about the company is fine."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded. "I just asked a few questions. If I didn't, my mother would say: You don't even know how to care about your man. All you do is sit at home and eat and drink all day."
"Mom is worried that our relationship is not good and wants us to communicate more." Sheng Jiahao held Jiang Moli's hand tightly.
"Yes." Jiang Moli said, "My mom and dad are a middle-aged couple, so she pays more attention to these things and is always worried that we are alienated."
Jiang Moli is busy with her career and has been busy lately, and Sheng Jiahao is also busy with work. Although both of them go home, Jiang's mother still feels that they don't spend enough time together. She is worried that there will be conflicts between them and that they will become alienated.
Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao have been together for several years, more than eight years, almost nine years. This is not a short time, so many years are enough for the feelings of two people to wear away a lot. The relationship between Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao is still very good, and their feelings have not faded because of all these years.
"It's not easy for mom." Sheng Jiahao said.
"So I heard what Mom said, but I didn't say she was wrong. Just listen to it." Jiang Moli said, "Don't think I don't care about you. I really don't understand those things. I just asked you a few questions to put your mind at ease. That's all."
Jiang Moli reached out and poked Sheng Jiahao, "Is there a woman who can understand you better?"
"That's a partnership. That's a business understanding, not a private understanding." Sheng Jiahao said. He understood what Jiang Moli meant. "Work is different from life. Partners can be replaced at any time. There's no need to meet every day. It's all about profit, cold and heartless profit."
No matter how polite those people appear on the surface, they still have to calculate their interests and the numbers.
"Okay." Jiang Moli said, "I'm not messing around outside, and you can't do that either. There are so many people who like me, and I don't like any of them."
"Only you." Sheng Jiahao said, "How many people envy me for having a wife like you, why should I be dissatisfied?"
Some partners knew that Sheng Jiahao's wife was Jiang Moli, and some asked Sheng Jiahao if he had tickets for Jiang Moli's performance. Sheng Jiahao said that Jiang Moli didn't need him to buy tickets, and Jiang Moli rarely brought back tickets, especially when the tickets were selling well.
Sheng Jiahao didn't tell his partners that if they needed tickets, he would ask Jiang Moli for them. Sheng Jiahao didn't see Jiang Moli as a money-making tool. He didn't need her to overdo it, or give him more tickets to build relationships with others. Jiang Moli didn't need Sheng Jiahao to attract audiences for her, so Sheng Jiahao didn't interfere too much in Jiang Moli's career.
Only when two people respect each other can the relationship last longer.
"They asked me for tickets, and I said I didn't have any," Sheng Jiahao said. "If they wanted them, I would have asked them to go buy them."
"If you want two or three tickets, that's fine. But if you want more, I can't do anything about it." Jiang Moli said, "Especially for this show, the tickets are basically sold out. Our company doesn't have any extra tickets left, and it's hard for employees to buy tickets. The company means that if the tickets are selling well, they won't sell tickets to employees first."
Employee tickets are discounted. Since they can be sold at full price, the company certainly doesn't consider selling discounted tickets. Other productions do have employee tickets, and they're still discounted. Jiang Moli's new production doesn't have that many employee tickets yet, and even if it did, they'd be very few.
Jiang Moli did not go to buy employee tickets, and someone in their unit wanted to buy employee tickets but was unable to buy one.
"It's a popular show and tickets sell well. Since the company doesn't issue employee tickets, employees go to the window to buy tickets," said Jiang Moli.
"No need, let them buy it themselves." Sheng Jiahao said.
"Well, others may just compliment us and say a few nice words, but they may not really want to see it." Jiang Moli said.
"Some people really want to see it," Sheng Jiahao said, "but all the tickets are sold out. I really can't do anything about it."
It's impossible for Sheng Jiahao to always ask Jiang Moli if she has a ticket. This is not good. When Sheng Jiahao said those things, others didn't think that Sheng Jiahao didn't care about Jiang Moli. Others just thought that Sheng Jiahao was showing off that he had a powerful wife.
"Ahh." The baby in the stroller was reaching out, and he was trying to stand up again.
"Give your son a hug." Jiang Moli said, "He has gained a lot of weight recently."
Jiang Moli can still hold her son, but after a while, she might not be able to hold him anymore. Children grow very fast, and after not seeing him for a while, he becomes much heavier and taller.
Sheng Jiahao picked up the baby, and the baby was very happy, Wow, I’m up.
The little baby stretched out his hands and clapped his little hands over there, either clapping both hands or clapping his father's hands with one hand, as if urging his father to walk faster.
"You carry him and walk." Jiang Moli said, and she pushed the stroller.
Sheng Jiahao walked with the baby in his arms, and they all accompanied the baby.
Over the past two days, He Jingxian heard people at work say they were stockpiling a lot of stuff, so she went along and bought some too. She had to buy some because she lived on her own now and had to take care of the things herself. If she didn't buy now, she'd have to buy more expensive things later.
He Jingxian joined others in grabbing things, and when she returned to her residence after grabbing the things, she felt extremely tired. He Jingxian didn't have to worry about these things for a long time. When she was pregnant, Qi's mother took extra care of He Jingxian. He Jingxian didn't regret the divorce. If she had to say something, it was that she regretted having three children. She shouldn't have had three. One was enough.
There was no TV in the rental house, and He Jingxian didn't watch TV. She also didn't go to the neighbors' houses to watch TV. He Jingxian was not familiar with the neighbors nearby. When she returned home, she locked the door. She lived alone and was a little scared.
He Jingxian looked at the things in the room and felt a little sad. Jiang Moli must not need to worry about these things. Jiang Moli is now a wealthy wife and so famous. All good things have happened to Jiang Moli. He Jingxian was so envious. If she could find a rich man to marry, that would not be impossible.
He Jingxian didn't have a phone at home, so she wanted to contact the crew, and she left them the phone number of her workplace. He Jingxian thought it would be best if the crew contacted her. Once they contacted her, she would go out and film a TV series, as it was always easier to become famous by filming TV series. There are far more people watching TV series than watching opera, and opera as a field is still a bit niche.
After He Jingxian's focus shifted, the company leaders were too lazy to care about her and just gave her a basic salary. He Jingxian still had some connection with the Qi family, so the other employees didn't say much about her, nor did they say that she couldn't go out to act.
Two months later, Pan Yun became pregnant and she was very happy.
"I'm pregnant." When Shi Nan returned home, Pan Yun said happily, "If we had known it was a problem with your mother, we should have taken action earlier instead of waiting so long. The fortune teller is really capable. We went to your mother's place and solved the problem, and now I'm pregnant. Before, the problem was not solved, and I couldn't get pregnant."
Regardless of whether this was a coincidence or not, Pan Yun had to say that it was Shi's mother's fault.
"Your mother really can't handle even the smallest things. We still have to go on our own," Pan Yun said. "Earlier, she didn't even know she was going to do it. Luckily, my mother found someone to help us with the fortune-telling. If it hadn't been resolved, we wouldn't have had children. The fortune-teller also said that if the problem wasn't resolved, even if we got pregnant, we might not be able to keep it. You have to ask your mother to be more careful recently, and if there are any holidays, you have to prepare some things."
Shi Nan hadn't expected Pan Yun to be pregnant at this time. He looked at Pan Yun's belly and naturally hoped that Pan Yun could keep the child. He was also a little anxious that Shi Nan didn't have a child at this age. If there was no child, what was the point of Shi Nan working so hard?
"I'll tell Mom." Shi Nan said.
"I won't go over there. If I go over there and get bumped into, that's not good, not good," Pan Yun said. "You have to explain it clearly to your mother. If she can't do it, we'll arrange for someone to go over there. This matter must be done well. It can't be left unfinished. The child in my belly is also her grandchild."
"It will definitely be done." Shi Nan said.
On a new day, Shi Nan went to see Shi's mother on purpose. When Shi's mother learned that Pan Yun was pregnant, she was a little surprised.
"You have been married for so long, it's time for you to have your own children. It's normal for her to get pregnant at this time," said Shi's mother.
"Mom, you have to take care of things here." Shi Nan said, "During the festival, you have to set up the table with offerings."
"We still have to do it?" Shi's mother originally thought that it would be enough to just do it at the beginning of the year, so why do we have to do it again now?
"Yes, we have to continue." Shi Nan said, "The fortune teller said that we have to continue. We don't know when the child will be reincarnated. When the child is born, he will still be young and it will be easier for him to see things."
"..." After hearing this, Shi's mother finally understood that these people just wanted her to keep offering sacrifices to the male fetus. It would probably take until Pan Yun's child grew up.
"If you don't want to do it, we can send someone to do it." Shi Nan said.
"No need to ask anyone else to come, we can handle this ourselves," said Shi's mother. If she asked anyone else to do it, it would make too much noise, and she didn't want others to know. "Is that fortune teller really that accurate? Isn't he fooling you?"
"No, he's really accurate. You and Dad earn more than what you earn in a month just to have him tell your fortune," Shi Nan said. "He must be really talented, that's why so many people come to him. Mom, you have to get this done. You absolutely have to get this done. You can't not do it. The child in Pan Yun's belly is mine, it belongs to our Shi family, not to anyone else. If you don't do this, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to have children again."
"I will do it, I will do it, I will definitely do it for you." Shi's mother had no way to refuse. She should have known that Shi Nan would not come here just to see them.
Shi Nan took out some money from her bag and put it on the table. "This is money for buying things."
"We have the money to buy it ourselves," said Shi's mother.
"Take it." Shi Nan said, "This is also what Pan Yun meant. Buying things requires money, and we are also considering the child in her belly. This money should be paid by us as husband and wife."
"We're all family, there's no need to be so distant." Shi's mother didn't care about the money. "Come back more often when you have time."
"Pan Yun can't come because she's pregnant," Shi Nan said. "The baby is still young, and we're afraid of bumping into each other. We can't let people think you're prioritizing the younger one over the older one. Mom, you guys should get things done so that when the baby is born, you can see her more often."
“…” Shi’s mother felt helpless. After the child was born, would those people let her go?
"No matter what, you and Dad are the child's biological grandparents." Shi Nan said.
Mrs. Pan went to see Pan Yun, and Pan Yun told her what she had said to Shi Nan. Pan Yun sat in the living room eating, and she didn't care whether Shi's mother was happy or not.
"Mom, I said everything you said." Pan Yun said, "Let Shi Nan go find his mother. I won't go."
"Don't go over there," Mrs. Pan said. "Those people are not good and have bad intentions. Shi Nan's mother has a lot of demands, and their family is just like that. They still want a daughter-in-law who is a college graduate, and she also wants her to be rich and well-connected. Why would such a good person fall for your Shi Nan? And they said you didn't even graduate from junior high school, but you still married Shi Nan anyway? If you had said you didn't want to marry Shi Nan, Shi Nan would definitely be very anxious."
Mrs. Pan thought about Shi Nan, she still didn't like him very much. But Shi Nan and Pan Yun were already married, so Mrs. Pan had no choice but to accept this son-in-law.
"Shi Nan's mother needs to do something else. If she has other things to do, she won't always run in front of you." Pan Yun said, "It's not good if she has nothing else to do and always runs in front of you."
"Yeah." Pan Yun nodded. "Mom, will Shi Nan be unhappy?"
"You are all doing this for the baby in your belly. Your child is also Shi Nan's child." Madam Pan said, "If he doesn't want to, he shouldn't go. If anything happens to the baby in your belly, it will be the Shi family's fault."
Mrs. Pan has thought it through. If there is any problem with Pan Yun, it will be the Shi family's problem. Mrs. Pan doesn't want Shi Nan to always side with Shi's mother, nor does she want Shi's mother to always come over.
The house wasn't bought by the Shi family, and even if it was, Shi's mother shouldn't be constantly disturbing the couple's lives. Mrs. Pan didn't think she came over often; she only came to see her daughter and protect her from Shi Nan's bullying. Women are always in a weak position, so Mrs. Pan naturally had to pay more attention to her daughter.
The Pan family has given Shi Nan so many things, and Shi Nan should be grateful to the Pan family.
Shi Nan went to Shi's house. When others saw Shi's mother, they said that Shi Nan had seen her and that Shi's mother should be happy. Shi's mother was not happy. Shi Nan left without eating lunch. Shi Nan came only to ask them to do those things.
Pan Yun is really not as good as Bo Meiqi!
This is what Shi's mother is thinking now. Pan Yun has a lot of things to do and is still practicing feudal superstition. Shi Nan came to say this in person, and Shi's mother had no choice but to agree and do what her son said.
"Your Shi Nan is so nice to you that he even came to see you specially." The person said this, but in his heart he was thinking that Shi Nan had not been here for a long time.
"They are very busy. I told them that they are so busy that they don't need to come to see us all the time." Shi's mother said stubbornly.
At work, Jiang Moli received the script sent by the previous producer. Su Daji's role was indeed not very large, but she would still appear in several episodes.
"This role belongs to you." The producer emphasized to Jiang Moli in the conference room, "The director and the others are very satisfied with you. You have a small part, so the filming won't take a long time. We can finish it in ten days to half a month, or about twenty days at most. We will concentrate your scenes so that you can finish and come back early. If you have any performances in the meantime, you can come back."
