Chen Ru didn't come to her senses until she got into the car.
The old lady has always been the most partial to Wen Kai!
Chen Ru still remembers when she gave birth to Wen Ying, Grandma Wen brought eggs from the countryside to see her in the hospital. When she heard that Chen Ru had given birth to a daughter, the old lady did not immediately frown, but told Chen Ru mysteriously that she could send Wen Ying back to the countryside to be raised. As long as she was not registered, no one would know that Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had a child, and the couple could have another son.
When Wen Ying was born, family planning was strictly enforced. If Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong wanted to have a second child, they would both have to lose their jobs.
Some couples who want to have a son will indeed take the risk of sending their child back to the countryside to become an illegal resident, or announcing to the public that the child died at birth.
Grandma Wen thought she meant well, but Chen Ru certainly didn't appreciate it. The Wen family wasn't wealthy, so why did she have to give birth to a son to inherit the family business?
At that time, Wen Dongrong was the only one who lived in the city, while the other members of the Wen family were still farmers in the countryside. If Chen Ru were to abandon her own daughter to the countryside and let her grow up rolling in the mud, she would rather put the child back into her belly.
Chen Ru refused outright.
Grandma Wen couldn't understand her daughter-in-law's expression and asked Chen Ru persistently, "If you don't give birth to a son, what will you and Dongrong do in the future? Girls will marry into other families when they grow up. Only a son can provide for you in your old age..."
A child is a piece of flesh and blood that fell from the mother's body. After ten months of hardship in pregnancy, the child is connected by blood and bones. When the child is just born, it is the time when the hormones in the body are affected and it is the time to protect the child the most. No matter how many times Grandma Wen mentioned it, Chen Ru pushed it back.
Grandma Wen failed to convince Chen Ru, but Wen Dongrong was a little shaken.
Because of Grandma Wen's interference, Chen Ru didn't even have a good confinement period. She quarreled with Wen Dongrong several times, telling him that if he really wanted to have a child, he should divorce her and marry another wife, and have as many children as he wanted!
Divorce is impossible. More than ten years ago, Wen Dongrong did not have his current status. Chen Ru's family conditions are much better than Wen Dongrong's. Moreover, he works for the public sector. If he divorces his wife just to have a son, it will be seen that his ideological awareness is too low if it is made public!
The couple quarreled several times and then united their front. No matter how much Grandma Wen persuaded them, it was useless and the matter of sending Wen Ying to the countryside was left unresolved.
This incident created a rift in the relationship between Chen Ru and Grandma Wen. Later, when Wen Ying was a few years old, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong each had opportunities for promotion. Chen Ru's parents were in poor health, so Chen Ru had to bow her head and ask Grandma Wen to help take care of Wen Ying. Unfortunately, Wen Ying's uncle and his family had just settled in the city. When country people move to the city, they are restricted in everything. Grandma Wen weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and still felt that her eldest son's family was in greater difficulty and needed help, so she refused Chen Ru.
Wen Kai is three years older than Wen Ying. The old lady takes care of her grandson but not her granddaughter. The evidence of her "preferring sons to daughters" is irrefutable!
Grandma Wen, who is so patriarchal, actually gave Chen Ru two thousand yuan, saying it was an advance wedding red envelope for Wen Ying... It was obvious that she heard that it would cost tens of thousands of yuan for Wen Ying to go to a provincial key school, and she was afraid that Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong would be short of money, so she paid the money to subsidize them. It can also be regarded as a grandmother's contribution to help her granddaughter go to a provincial key school.
Two thousand yuan is not as much as Chen Ru’s monthly salary.
But Grandma Wen no longer farms in the countryside and has no source of income. Unlike the old ladies in the city who have a pension, Grandma Wen's money is all saved by her children as filial piety, and she is reluctant to spend it.
Chen Ru knew that her mother-in-law had some savings, but she never thought that her mother-in-law would be willing to spend the money on Wen Ying.
Wen Ying is not the grandson of the old Wen family!
Chen Ru was in a complicated mood. When they were almost in Chengdu, she finally managed to utter, "I don't know what's wrong with your mother today. She was the one who said Wen Ying was wasting money on studying, and she was the one who gave me two thousand yuan."
Wen Daxiaozi didn't like what he heard and frowned, "You're almost there. You're the one who usually says that Mom favors boys over girls. Now that she wants to help Wen Ying get some help, Mom is willing to give some money to support her, but you doubt her intentions."
Chen Ru was so choked that she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
Just now at home, Chen Ru didn't want to accept Grandma Wen's money, but then she thought, Wen Ying was not born out of wedlock, they are all children of the Wen family. If Wen Ying doesn't spend the money, wouldn't it all have to be left to Wen Kai?
As a result, I felt guilty about accepting the two thousand yuan, so I couldn't say anything bad about my mother-in-law anymore.
Chen Ru held her breath all the way to Chengdu, and went straight to her sister Chen Li's house with Wen Dongrong.
It was not yet ten o'clock when the couple arrived.
Deng Shangwei had not returned from sending his children to school yet, so only Chen Li and nanny Deng Yaomei were at home.
Wen Dongrong sat down on the sofa with his legs spread out, and Deng Yaomei brought him tea quietly.
Wen Dongrong had an air of authority about him, so Deng Yaomei didn't dare to act rashly.
Chen Ru glanced into the room and asked Chen Li, "Where's Wen Ying?"
"Wen Ying has to make up for her studies today, so she won't be back until lunch. I heard that you can check your grades at 10 o'clock. I wonder if I can get through to her on the phone later."
Chen Ru had already prepared a plan to deal with Chen Li’s worries.
Chen Ru’s method was for the whole family to call the score inquiry number together, and there would always be someone who could get through.
Wen Dongrong took a sip of tea and said, "It makes no difference whether I check a few minutes earlier or later. The results are there and won't change."
Among the four people in the living room, Wen Dongrong was the calmest.
Chen Li rolled her eyes secretly. If she wasn't in a hurry, she wouldn't have asked for leave to come to Chengdu today.
Wen Dongrong likes to speak in a pretentious manner and brings his work style back home. Chen Li has gotten used to it over the years. Only her sister Chen Ru can handle a man like Wen Dongrong, and the couple is a perfect match.
Oh, there’s still half an hour before the results are out. It’s so hard.
