Chapter 94: A New Year with Thoughts
Yan Yichen's younger brother is Yan Tuo. If it weren't for the fact that this younger brother had indeed suffered, and that the grudges of the previous generation should not be counted on the next generation, Yan Yichen would never have called him brother. He did agree, but Yan Yichen couldn't have cared too much about that illegitimate child.
If Yan Yichen paid more attention to Yan Tuo, Yan's mother would definitely have something to say.
Now Yan's mother often keeps an eye on Yan Tuo, fearing that Yan Tuo will find a good partner, and that Old Lady Yan will secretly give Yan Tuo more good things. When Yan's mother keeps an eye on Yan Tuo, Xu Ruyun's pressure will be reduced.
"According to grandma's wishes, we give him an additional amount of living expenses every month." Yan Yichen said, "So that he won't spend all the money at once and come back to our house again. Everything is under control."
"That's good." Xu Ruyun nodded, "I was just worried that you would feel uncomfortable..."
"I'm fine." Yan Yichen looked at Xu Ruyun's big belly, "I'll wait for you to give birth to this baby safely and smoothly."
In the evening of a new day, Su Xueqing went to the Su family and told her parents about buying a house in the development zone.
"We don't have that much money." Su's mother sighed, "I borrowed some money to buy a house for your eldest sister. It's okay if we buy a smaller house now, but if we buy a bigger one, we'll need a lot of money."
"Yan Jing and I will contribute part of the money, which can be regarded as our early retirement money for you." Su Xueqing said, "The development zone will develop in the future. It is still cheap to buy a house now, but it will be expensive in the future. My brother has children. When his children grow up, they may go to the development zone to work instead of working here. Don't think about taking over the business when the time comes. Most likely you won't be able to take over the business, and you will have to find a job yourself. You have also seen that some factories are not doing well and they have to suspend people from work without pay, not to mention asking people to take over the business."
"Buy it!" After hearing what Su Xueqing said, Father Su felt that he had to buy the house.
"It's not enough money." Mother Su looked at Father Su, "We can't let Xueqing pay so much money alone."
"We just borrowed it from Xueqing, so Xueqing doesn't have to pay for it." Father Su said.
"Dad is right." Mrs. Su said quickly, "It's considered a loan from us, so you don't have to pay for it. It doesn't make sense for you to pay for us to buy a house."
Not to mention the pension money, Su Xueqing and her husband will definitely be filial to Su's father and mother in the future. This means that Su Xueqing and her husband paid a lot of money, while others paid less, which is unfair to Su Xueqing.
Mrs. Su San doesn't want to narrow the path. If she takes advantage now, Su Xueqing and her husband might think they are too good at taking advantage in the future.
"Little sister, you don't have to worry about money. Your third brother and I have saved some money. If it doesn't work, I can go to my mother's house to borrow some." Mrs. Su said, "Since you said the house in the development zone is good, it must be very good."
"There are supporting houses over there." Su Xueqing said, "It's next to the development zone. It's for people who work there to live in. It provides a comfortable living environment."
"Let's buy it." Mrs. Su said, "Little sister, do you want to buy it too?"
"Well, we also plan to buy it, but we only have a preferential quota for one house." Su Xueqing said, "There is no discount for buying other houses."
"I'll ask your third brother and our factory to see if there are any preferential quotas. If there are, we should strike while the iron is hot and make a decision as soon as possible." Mrs. Su said, "Your third brother and I both work in the factory and don't know much. If you hadn't mentioned the house over there, we wouldn't have thought of buying one."
Mrs. Su thought Su Xueqing was good. When good things happened, Su Xueqing knew how to think of them. Mrs. Su had a son. When her son grew up and got married, it would be better for them to buy a house earlier. As for how many years the house could be lived in, let's not worry about it for now. What's important is that the location is good and the conditions in all aspects are good.
In this family, Su Sansao values Su Xueqing very much. Su Xueqing is a college student, and college students know a lot. Su Sansao thinks that she has a low level of education and knows little, so it is not wrong for her to listen to Su Xueqing more. Su Xueqing's family still needs to buy many houses. They buy them themselves, so they let them buy them too. If Su Xueqing's family did not buy them, they would not let them buy them.
"We can buy a place closer." Mrs. Su said, "But you probably won't live there in the future."
"That's not certain. Maybe we can live there." Su Xueqing said, "The most important thing at the moment is to buy it and rent it out."
The government has so many houses that it is difficult to rent them out all at once. The development zone has not developed very well yet, and some people are unwilling to spend a lot of money to rent a house. They would rather live in a bridge hole than rent a house. Now that transportation is better, those people can go back to the old city.
"Rent it out?" Mrs. Su was surprised.
"Yes, we can't live here, so we rent it out." Su Xueqing said, "The rent will be lower if we rent it out now. When the place develops well in the future, the rent will be higher."
"That's true." said Mrs. Su.
The Su family didn't need Su Xueqing to worry about the formalities. They could pay for it themselves and handle the formalities. Su Xueqing took out the money, and Su's mother only took 200 yuan. She asked Su Xueqing to keep the rest of the money and not to take it out again.
When Amelia Su came over, Amelia Su had already gone back.
When Amelia Su learned that Su Xueqing had given her family 200 yuan as a purchase payment, she curled her lips and said, “If I had money, I could also take out this money. The problem is, I don’t have money, and Yaozu is about to go to kindergarten. Shanshan is still studying…”
"No one asked you to take out the money." Su's mother said, "Xue Qing didn't ask you and Yanan to give money either, why are you so excited?"
"I..." Amelia Su was just upset, afraid that these people would think she was too stingy. It's not that she was stingy, it's that she really didn't have any money. "We still have to pay back our relatives in the mountains. It's not easy for them to live in the countryside, and they lent us money to buy a house. But my mother-in-law said that we have to pay it back, we can't not pay it back. If we don't pay it back, my mother-in-law will come to live in our house."
Amelia Su had never thought about living with her mother-in-law. It would be better for her mother-in-law to live in the countryside.
At the beginning, when Amelia Su gave birth to Wei Shanshan, her mother-in-law was very unhappy. Amelia Su saw her mother-in-law glaring at her several times. Her mother-in-law told others that her stomach was not good enough, saying that she took several years to get pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and she was afraid that she would not be able to have children in the future.
After Amelia Su knew those words, she couldn't rush to her mother-in-law. If she rushed to her mother-in-law and said it, her mother-in-law would definitely say something bad about her.
"I know you want to pay back the money." Su's mother said, "If you two make money, pay those people back as soon as possible. It's not easy for country people to save money by eating frugally. They don't work in factories and don't have a stable salary. You should pay back the money as soon as possible."
Su's mother didn't think about asking Amelia Su for money, and Amelia Su felt that she was the eldest sister, but she didn't give a penny to the family, and Amelia Su was sad. Amelia Su wanted to perform better, but she couldn't.
Sometimes, Amelia Su wanted to tell Amelia Su not to do so well, and that married girls didn't need to do those things. But Amelia Su couldn't say it. If she said it, others would only think that she was unfilial and that she had to torment her parents, her sister, and her family.
“Why, do you have anything else to say?” Mother Su looked at Amelia Su.
“No, no.” Amelia Su said.
"Your little sister is your little sister, and you are you." Su's mother said, "Xue Qing never said that you did a bad job, nor did she ask you to pay."
“…” Amelia Su knew that Amelia Su didn’t say it, but she was outdone by Amelia Su.
With money, buying a house is an easy thing. Su Sansao actually went to her parents' home to borrow some money, and did not borrow all from Su Xueqing. Su Sansao's family thought that what Su Sansao said made sense, and they also decided to buy a house in the development zone.
The Su family quickly completed the formalities, but the Xu family was dragging their feet. Mrs. Xu was unwilling to buy a house in the development zone, saying that the development zone was too remote and they didn't live there, so why buy a house? Mrs. Xu was unwilling to buy, and Xu Ruyun didn't force Mrs. Xu and her husband to buy a house.
Yu Li wanted her husband to buy it, but they had too little money. They bought a house when they got married, and later invested in a factory, which has not yet started to pay dividends. How could they afford to buy a house, and they couldn't borrow all the money from others.
So the Xu family did not buy a house in the development zone. When Xu's mother learned that the Su family had bought a house in the development zone, she still said that they should not have bought it.
"Did you really buy the house in the development zone?" Xu's mother went to the yard to pick soybeans, and she saw Su's mother picking vegetables over there.
"I bought it." Su's mother said, "There are only three rooms in the house, and the child will not be enough when he grows up."
"The child is grown up, and your grandson should go back to live in his own home." Xu's mother said, "Your mother-in-law...will still be able to live in a place in the future. Family planning is in place, and you don't have a second child. If you only have one grandson, will you still be able to live in a place?"
"The houses here are old, so it's always good to have a new one." Su's mother said, "There are many office buildings and factories in the development zone. If we have a house there, our children won't have to worry about not having a place to live when they work there in the future."
"There will always be a house to live in at the company," said Xu's mother.
"It's not like a private enterprise has so many houses to live in." Su's mother said, "It's better to plan early."
"If you're saying there aren't enough rooms, it's because we have too many children." Xu's mother said, "It's just that it's too far away, and we don't work there, so buying a house there is really a waste."
"If you don't live here, then rent it out." said Su's mother.
"It's a nice new house that has been rented out, and it's messed up all of a sudden. It doesn't look good." Xu's mother said, "Let's change houses later. It's better not to change now since we don't live in it."
"That's fine." Su's mother said, "We borrowed money to buy this house. If my husband hadn't made some money from working at the factory, we would have had to borrow more money from others."
The Su family did not go to the Yu family to borrow money. Su's uncle-in-law was a man who only took in money but never spent it. How could he lend money to the Su family? Su Yanan took some money home to support her family in buying a house. The Su family wrote a promissory note to Su Yanan, but Su Yanan said no. Su's mother told Su Yanan to take the promissory note. Su Yanan's mother-in-law was a shrewd person. With such a promissory note, Su Yanan's mother-in-law would not blame Su Yanan too much.
Amelia Su had no money, and she still had to pay for the house, so she didn't lend money to her parents' home.
In the office, Han Fang finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a house. If the couple worked harder and saved more money, they would be able to pay it back soon.
"I borrowed some money and it's finally OK." Han Fang sighed, "Borrowing money is really not easy."
"You and your wife have high salaries, so you will be able to pay it back soon." Su Xueqing said.
At this time, the housing prices have not soared very fast. If the working couple saves money for a few years, it will be enough soon. If you borrow money from the bank, the interest rate is too high, which may not be cost-effective. But if you borrow money from relatives yourself, you don’t have to pay high interest rates, which is still very cost-effective.
That has to be a very close relative. If he doesn't pay back the money and makes others lose interest, that's not good either.
"That's what I think." Han Fang said, "When the time comes to get pregnant and have a baby, you'll need money. In a person's life, you need money before the baby is born, and you'll need more money after the baby is born. Before, when I was still in school, I thought life would be simple and I would be relieved after graduation. But now, I think life in college is better. In school, you don't have to worry about so many things, you don't have to support the family by yourself, and there are other people supporting you. After graduation and marriage, you have to support everything by yourself, and sometimes you have to help others support it."
"It's always like this. We can't rely on our parents all our lives. They work hard and are tired." Su Xueqing said, "After a few years of hard work, everything will be fine. We are just a little younger and not very old, so we don't have that much money. Work for a few more years and everything will be fine."
"I have planned how to spend my monthly salary," Han Fang said. "Fortunately, eating in the company cafeteria is free, so my husband and I can save money. Fruit is not a must, so if you want to eat it, just buy something cheap. Oranges are cheaper recently, and there are people selling them on the roadside. I bought a few and my husband complained that they were sour."
"Then what?" Su Xueqing asked.
"I told him not to eat it, so I ate it." Han Fang said, "It's a little sour, but it's still fruit after all."
“…” Su Xueqing felt guilty and was very picky about the fruits she ate.
"I'm not talking about you." Han Fang said, "Our family's situation is different from yours. Your family is better off and you eat better, so that's okay."
Xu Ruyun's belly was getting bigger, but she didn't go back to work at the factory. Instead, she stayed at home to take care of the baby.
Time flies, and it's almost the end of the year.
Xu Ruyun didn't go to work and went to Xu's house less often.
The New Year is coming, and the illegitimate son of the Yan family has sent a New Year gift to Old Lady Yan. Yan Tuo went to deliver it personally.
When Yan's mother saw Yan Tuo, she pointed at the front door and said, "Get out, get out, get out, this is not your home."
"This is definitely not my home. I'm here to see my grandma." Yan Tuo said.
Yan Yichen gave Yan Tuo money every month, and Yan Tuo understood the explicit and implicit hints. That is, Yan Yichen was not easy to deal with Yan's mother, and Yan Tuo dragged Yan's mother a little. Yan Tuo grew up in the market, and was ignored by his biological mother since he was a child. His stepfather also didn't like him. If he didn't try to work hard, he might not be able to get those things.
Yan Tuo thought that as long as Yan Yichen was willing to give him money, it didn't matter if he was scolded by Yan's mother a few more times, because Yan Yichen had given him the money anyway. Yan Tuo was not a three-year-old child, and he knew in his heart that if Yan Yichen was unwilling to give him money, it would be difficult for him to get the money, and he could only get money from Old Lady Yan at best.
Old Lady Yan's age was there, and no one knew how long she could live. If Old Lady Yan died early, she would not be able to give money to Yan Tuo anymore, and she would definitely give most of her property to Yan Yichen. Yan Tuo wanted to have a good relationship with Yan Yichen and try to get more money from him. He also wanted to get money from Yan Yichen every month without having to work.
"I am Dad's son, his biological son, Auntie. You can tell by looking at my face." Yan Tuo said, "I heard that I look more like Dad than my brother does."
Mother Yan was so angry at Yan Tuo that she was speechless. She was really very, very angry.
"Aunt, you also support the existence of illegitimate children. My brother can have an illegitimate child, so why can't my father have an illegitimate child?" Yan Tuo said this deliberately.
Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun haven't gotten married yet and haven't held a wedding banquet, so isn't their child an illegitimate child?
"You...you..." Of course, Yan's mother didn't want to say that she supported the existence of illegitimate children. Her son could have an illegitimate child, but her man absolutely could not have an illegitimate child.
"Grandma." Yan Tuo looked at Old Lady Yan, "I want to accompany you to eat New Year's Eve dinner, but... I'm afraid Auntie won't be willing."
"You go back and eat by yourself." Mrs. Yan didn't let Yan Tuo come to her house for the New Year's Eve dinner. That would make Yan's mother even more unhappy. "Make some more delicious food. We can go out to a restaurant to eat."
"It's too expensive to eat at a restaurant." Yan Tuo said, "I cook it myself. I used to make some food myself. If I don't cook it myself, eating out is too expensive. I have to spend money. How can I have so much money?"
Yan Tuo's stepfather and biological mother were both very stingy with money. Yan Tuo's biological mother later married and gave birth to a son, so naturally she was not so kind to Yan Tuo. If Yan Tuo's biological mother had not given birth to a son, perhaps he could have eaten a little more.
A few years ago, Yan Tuo had moved out of his stepfather's house and did not continue to live with them. He found a job by himself. With a job and some money, he could survive. Yan Tuo had experienced a lot and suffered a lot. He felt that his life was too good now. He must grasp the present life and not let the good life go.
"Eat well now." Old Mrs. Yan's heart was still hard.
Before, Old Lady Yan gave money to Yan Tuo's mother, but not to Yan Tuo directly. How could a person like Old Lady Yan not know how that woman treated her own son? It's just that Old Lady Yan didn't want to care about too many things. Old Lady Yan's focus is still on Yan Yichen, and she wants Yan Yichen to grow up.
Yan Tuo left quickly and didn't stay here.
After Yan Tuo left, Yan's mother was extremely unhappy, "Mom, how could he still come to our house?"
"He's here to give us a New Year gift," said Old Lady Yan. "It's a sign of his filial piety."
"I don't think he has any filial piety at all. He clearly wants to piss me off to death!" Mother Yan gritted her teeth.
Old Lady Yan looked up and glanced at Yan's mother. "Do you want your son to have New Year's Eve dinner with her this year?"
"She? Is she worthy?" Yan's mother was displeased.
Although Yan's mother said before that if Xu Ruyun gave birth to a boy, she would let Xu Ruyun enter the house. After saying those words, Yan's mother regretted it and she was unwilling to let Xu Ruyun enter the house. Xu Ruyun was not worthy of entering the Yan family. Xu Ruyun was just a dirty woman who dared to use any means to climb up.
"She got pregnant on purpose in order to use the child to blackmail us. She wants to gain status by having a child." Yan's mother said, "Mom, don't you have a lot of face? Can you..."
"No." Old Lady Yan said, "I shamelessly went to the Ning family and asked for a marriage for your son, but you said it was bad and said Ning Jiaxuan was the daughter of an enemy and asked your son to cancel the engagement."
"Let's not go to the Ning family this time, let's go to another family." said Yan's mother.
"Don't even think about it." Old Madam Yan said, "In this South City, how many people don't know that your son has a woman and is going to have a child? Are you going to let someone else come in and become a stepmother?"
"What kind of stepmother is that? Yichen is not married to that woman." said Yan's mother.
"It's useless to say that. It depends on what others think." Old Lady Yan said, "Put aside these thoughts for now. I don't think your son will give up on her."
When Old Lady Yan heard what Yan Tuo said, she suspected that Yan Yichen had said something to Yan Tuo, otherwise, what did Yan Tuo say about an illegitimate child? Yan Tuo was a man with some insight. Old Lady Yan thought that as long as Yan Tuo didn't cause trouble for Yan Yichen, Yan Yichen would still be able to tolerate Yan Tuo.
"You don't want to help Yichen, but to help that illegitimate child?" Yan's mother said, "He is old enough to find a partner!"
Yan's mother was afraid that Old Lady Yan would find a good partner for Yan Tuo, and she couldn't agree.
"He can indeed find a partner." Old Lady Yan said, "I don't need to worry about him finding a partner, he can find one himself. You don't have to worry that he can't find a girl with such a good family background. He is an illegitimate child with no other skills. Do you think others are fools?"
"If you support him, he can find it." Yan's mother said, "Mom, he..."
"He is my grandson!" Old Mrs. Yan interrupted Yan's mother.
"..." When Mother Yan heard this, she felt her heart go cold.
Yes, Yan Tuo is the grandson of Old Lady Yan, and is related to Old Lady Yan by blood. In this big family, Yan Tuo is related to Old Lady Yan and Yan Yichen by blood, but she and Yan Tuo are not related by blood. When Yan's mother thought of this, she almost vomited blood.
These people all pay more attention to Yan Tuo, as Yan Tuo is a member of the Yan family.
Mother Yan stood there in a daze, and Old Lady Yan ignored her mother. Old Lady Yan got up and left, but Mother Yan stayed where she was. What should she do?
How did things turn out like this?
Yan's mother originally thought that all the things that happened in the past were in the past and that her husband loved her. How did an illegitimate child suddenly appear? How could these people be so nice to that illegitimate child?
She wanted Yan's mother to give in and let Xu Ruyun marry into the Yan family, but Yan's mother didn't want to give in. But if Yan's mother didn't give in, how could she tell Yan Tuo that her son had an illegitimate child?
This is all Xu Ruyun's fault. If Xu Ruyun's family background was better, none of these things would have happened.
Yu Jiachao sent a fish to the Su family, but Yu Guochao didn't send anything. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Jiachao sent mooncakes to Su's father, but Yu Guochao didn't send anything either. Yu Guochao and his wife now take advantage of any benefits, and if there are no benefits, they think they know nothing. They are so poor themselves, how can they send things to others?
Even Aunt Su and her husband did not receive a favorable reception from Yu Guochao and his wife, who did not give Aunt Su any New Year gifts.
Aunt Su came with Yu Jiachao. After delivering the gifts, Yu Jiachao left first and Aunt Su stayed at Su's house for dinner. Aunt Su complained to Mrs. Su that Yu Guochao ignored her now and that Mrs. Yu rolled her eyes when she saw her.
"They are resentful of us." Aunt Su's eyes were red, "They don't consider us as their family members."
"If they blame you, just ignore them, isn't that enough?" Old Lady Su said, "You don't just have this one child."
"But...ah..." Aunt Su sighed.
"Aren't they working now? They don't have to borrow money at high interest rates, aren't they doing well?" Mrs. Su said, "Don't worry about other things. It doesn't matter whether they treat you well or not. With the way they are, you can't expect them to take care of you in your old age."
It was Su's uncle-in-law who hid so much money first and asked the Su family to borrow money.
Old Madam Su doesn't like Uncle Su. She used to think that Uncle Su was a little bit scheming, but now she thinks that Uncle Su is very scheming. Others treat Uncle Su as a relative, but Uncle Su treats others as fools, and it is impossible for others to treat them as fools all the time.
"That's enough." said Mrs. Su.
"I told them that they should come over when they have time, and told them that you are old and should give them a simple New Year gift or something, but they pretended not to hear me," said Aunt Su.
"Didn't they give you any gifts?" Old Madam Su said, "They didn't even give gifts to you as parents, let alone me. I don't lack those New Year gifts, so you don't have to worry about it."
"I..." Aunt Su felt like she was neither here nor there.
Sometimes, Aunt Su blamed her husband for not telling her about these things, but she felt that she couldn't blame her husband entirely, and blamed herself for not being able to do it, and blamed herself for being easy to say things to others, so her husband didn't tell her. With Aunt Su's temper, it would be a wonder if she could support the family.
"Don't think too much." Old Madam Su said, "We don't care about these things, why do you care?"
Old Mrs. Su didn't want to have more contact with Yu Guochao and his wife. It didn't matter whether Yu Guochao and his wife came to see her or not. Old Mrs. Su didn't need these people. She had grandchildren, and grandchildren were fine. Amelia Su always said that her family was not good enough to her, but she would also give gifts to her parents' home. It was impossible for her to give nothing.
Amelia Su is the eldest sister, she always wants to perform better, but she is reluctant to spend money. Amelia Su is different from Yu Guochao and his wife, she will at least give something.
"Don't cry and make your eyes red and swollen." Old Mrs. Su said, "You are so old..."
"Mom." Aunt Su felt aggrieved.
Only in front of her biological mother did Su Xiao aunt dare to say these things. In front of other people, Su Xiao aunt couldn't say these things. Second Aunt Su didn't live in South City, so Su Xiao aunt couldn't tell Second Aunt Su. Mother Su wasn't Su Xiao aunt's biological sister, so she didn't care about these things, and Su Xiao aunt didn't want her sister-in-law to laugh at her.
"They are all grown up now. It's useless for you to talk to them now. It's also useless for your brother to talk to them." Mrs. Su said, "Live a life with a little confusion. Don't think about so many things. Think less."
"But... I'll still think about it." Aunt Su said.
"..." Mrs. Su's lips twitched slightly. She was so old, and she still had to comfort her daughter. "You should save some money, save more, and don't spend all the money you have."
"What kind of money can I have?" said Aunt Su.
"Don't your children respect you?" Old Lady Su said, "You too, don't you know how to find some odd jobs to do, at least do something and save some money. I told you a long time ago, but you didn't do it."
"Yanan didn't do it either." Aunt Su said.
“…” When Mrs. Su heard this, she couldn’t help but rub her brows.
Su Yanan did not do odd jobs, but she was not stupid. She saved some money secretly, and did not spend it all every time, nor did she let Tian Guohua strangle her. But Aunt Su was strangled by Uncle Su, who was too shrewd and could calculate every little thing clearly.
"Mom, I couldn't do anything then." Aunt Su said, "Before, there were many children in the family and I had to take care of them."
"You are just stupid and blockheaded." Old Mrs. Su was too lazy to say anything. She thought that little aunt Su should have asked little uncle Su to give her more money in her early years, and little aunt Su should have kept more for herself.
It’s too late to say anything now. Aunt Su is still thinking about Uncle Su.
There's no hope, there's really no hope!
If Little Aunt Su wasn't Old Lady Su's biological daughter, Old Lady Su really wouldn't want to hear Little Aunt Su say these words.
A biological daughter is a biological daughter after all, and a child with a mother is like a treasure. Little Aunt Su can still behave like a child in front of Old Lady Su. If Old Lady Su is gone, who will Little Aunt Su tell?
When Su Xueqing and her husband came over to give New Year gifts, they happened to see Aunt Su.
"Didn't you bring the child over?" asked Aunt Su.
"The child is still young, so we didn't bring him here." Su Xueqing said. She usually came here alone, or with Ning Yanjing, and rarely brought her child here.
Some people said that Su Xueqing's in-laws thought the alley was unlucky and didn't let Su Xueqing bring the child here. When Su's mother heard this, she said that the child was still young and it was right not to bring the child here. Children are prone to illness and it is better to let the child stay at home. Children are prone to crying in unfamiliar places.
"This isn't too far." Aunt Su said. She looked at the things on the table and said, "Did you give all these things?"
"These were given to our family by others. We can't use so many of them, so we might as well give them to our parents." Su Xueqing said.
Ning Yanjing had business dealings with people, and they exchanged some New Year gifts. Ning Yanjing did not take them to the Ning family, who also had a lot of things, so they simply gave them to the Su family. Anyway, those things were all good and not broken.
"Aunt, are you going to eat here?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Yes, what about you?" said Aunt Su.
"We have to go back soon. The child is still at home. If neither of us is at home, she will make a fuss and ask for us back." Su Xueqing said.
"All children are like this. Go back quickly." Aunt Su said.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing left quickly. When they were walking on the road, they met Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen. Yan Yichen was supporting Xu Ruyun. The two of them came to Xu's house to give New Year gifts.
Xu Ruyun nodded to Su Xueqing, Su Xueqing smiled, and they passed each other.
Su Xueqing did not look back at Xu Ruyun, and Xu Ruyun finally got pregnant with Yan Yichen's child as she wished.
A few days ago, Su Xueqing wrote a letter to Ning Jiaxuan, and also wrote about the things between Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun, and some things about the Yan family's illegitimate child... It would be better for Ning Jiaxuan to have less contact with the Yan family. Those people in the Yan family are not very sincere. In their eyes, they care more about interests and their own emotions, and don't consider whether others are happy or not.
"They should get their marriage certificate soon." Su Xueqing said.
"Maybe." Ning Yanjing said, he didn't say 'no'.
Yan Yichen has nothing to do with Ning Jiaxuan, and the Ning family cannot stop Yan Yichen from getting married. Whether Yan Yichen marries Xu Ruyun or Xu Ruyun, it is Yan Yichen's own private matter.
Xu Ruyun did look back at Su Xueqing, who didn't have the airs of a rich lady. Xu Ruyun sometimes liked to be a little pretentious, and she still had to learn some rich etiquette. She would have to go out with Yan Yichen and attend banquets in the future, and she couldn't be ignorant.
There is no deep love between the two people. Xu Ruyun cannot allow herself to become a burden to Yan Yichen. The two people should complement each other and benefit each other. Only in this way can the relationship last long.
Xu Ruyun has been with Yan Yichen for a long time, and she understands more and more what kind of person Yan Yichen is. Yan Yichen values interests, and the most important thing is interests, followed by family affection. Although Yan Yichen scolded Yan's mother for Xu Ruyun, Xu Ruyun knew that Yan Yichen did not do it for her, but for himself.
If Yan Yichen faced his mother alone without anyone to support him, and he confronted her directly, others would say something bad about Yan Yichen. But if Yan Yichen confronted her mother for Xu Ruyun, others would say that Xu Ruyun had already started to cause trouble before she even got married, and they would say it was Xu Ruyun's fault.
Men are all like this, selfish and ruthless.
Xu Ruyun thought that at least she could still be of some use to Yan Yichen, which was not bad.
"Walk slowly." Yan Yichen supported Xu Ruyun.
"Okay." Xu Ruyun nodded.
On New Year's Eve, Yan Yichen went back to the Yan family as usual to celebrate the New Year with Old Lady Yan and Yan's mother, but he only had lunch, moving the New Year's Eve dinner to noon. After eating, Yan Yichen went back to Xu Ruyun. Xu Ruyun was pregnant, and Yan Yichen wanted to spend more time with her.
This made Mrs. Yan extremely unhappy, so Old Lady Yan said, "She is pregnant with your grandson."
"The baby hasn't been born yet, so who knows if it's a daughter or a grandson?" Yan's mother said, "Even if they find out it's a daughter, they can still say it's a grandson, just to make me compromise and let Xu Ruyun marry in."
Without waiting for the final result, it is impossible for Yan's mother to compromise so early.
Old Lady Yan glanced at Yan's mother. Her daughter-in-law obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Yan Yichen was no longer the Yan Yichen he once was. When Yan Yichen didn't have a biological child, he would care more about his biological mother. When Yan Yichen had a biological child, he would care more about the child. Yan's mother's position in Yan Yichen's heart would only continue to decline.
If Xu Ruyun really gave birth to a boy, Old Lady Yan would not mind letting Xu Ruyun marry into the Yan family. With Yan's mother around, it was unlikely that a girl with a good family background would marry into the family. Even if there was, I'm afraid that girl wouldn't have much brains.
It’s enough to have a fool like Yan’s mother in the family, we don’t need another one.
Xu Ruyun still has some brains, not too stupid. It's just that Xu Ruyun's family background is not good, and there are many things she doesn't know. Old Lady Yan thinks this is not a big deal. After Xu Ruyun has a child, Old Lady Yan will ask someone to teach Xu Ruyun more. Old Lady Yan heard that Xu Ruyun was not playing at home, and Xu Ruyun asked someone to teach her herself, which shows that Xu Ruyun is trying hard to integrate into the upper class, which is also a good phenomenon.
I’m just afraid that those who come from a poor family background are not willing to work harder.
Xu Ruyun has a poor family background and is not as capable as Su Xueqing.
Old Lady Yan knew that Vice President Xu praised Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing graduated from Nancheng University. Except for her poor family background, she was excellent in all aspects. People like Su Xueqing don't need to know too many rules of wealthy families. They have good brains and know what to do.
Xu Ruyun is the heroine of the original novel. She gave birth to a boy in March 1986. Yan Yichen named the child Yan Mingde, meaning that the child should understand the kindness of others, remember the kindness of others, and not be an ungrateful person.
When Yan's mother learned that Xu Ruyun had given birth, she did not go to the hospital to see Xu Ruyun. Instead, she waited for Xu Ruyun to be discharged from the hospital and took the child home. When Xu Ruyun learned that the child was taken away by Yan's mother, Xu Ruyun was naturally very angry and asked the nurse how could she let Yan's mother take the child away.
"She is the child's grandmother." The nurse felt wronged. How could she know that the mother in labor was not on good terms with the child's grandmother.
"Don't you know to ask the child's parents?" Xu Ruyun was very angry, but also helpless.
Xu Ruyun couldn't blame the nurse in the hospital, so she thought about going to Yan's mother to get the child back. Xu Ruyun was afraid that Yan's mother would hurt the child. The child was her own, and in Yan's mother's eyes, the child was just an illegitimate child. Xu Ruyun was worried that Yan's mother would not treat the child well, and that Yan's mother would want another woman to give birth to a child for Yan Yichen, so Yan's mother would not want the child.
However, when Xu Ruyun proposed to go to Yan's house to take the child back, Yan Yichen refused.
"That's my biological grandson. Don't worry. I'll send you back first and then I'll go to my place." Yan Yichen said.
In the car, Xu Ruyun held Yan Yichen's hand tightly, "Will you bring the child back?"
"I……"
"Will you bring the child back?" Xu Ruyun asked again.
"The child still needs milk." Yan Yichen said, "Maybe... Mom is willing to let you go."
The child is a boy, and Yan Yichen's own. Yan Yichen believes that his mother will not kill a child. If a child can make the mother calm down, it is also a good thing.
Yan Yichen didn't want Yan's mother to be hysterical all the time, and didn't want Yan's mother to go out and offend people.
"I won't go." Xu Ruyun said, "I still have to recuperate after giving birth."
Xu Ruyun tried to calm her thoughts and slowly closed her eyes. "If you really want to leave the child there, then let the child stay there!"
