The next day, when Feng Ru came back from school in the afternoon after getting the transfer order, Zeng Yu's parents happened to come over. Zeng Yu's parents also came to mourn Lin Hongzhi yesterday, but left before Han Chen arrived.
Zeng Yu's parents came to visit today, also invited by appointment. They had previously agreed with Lin Jianye and Yu Qing and his wife to come and discuss the future arrangements for Zeng Yu and Lele.
On the first floor, in Zeng Yu's room, Lin Ziying and Aunt Wang had already brought Lele to Yu Qing's room, where they were now caring for her. Zeng Yu had been born prematurely and still had no breast milk. Lele was now using the expensive formula she'd bought—only a pound. If Zeng Yu still had no breast milk after drinking it, she'd have to give her malted milk, which was a bit easier to buy than powdered milk.
After watching everyone sit down, Yu Qing said, "Xiaoyu, you should already know why your father and I called your parents today. Xiaoyu, you are a good girl and a good daughter-in-law. Your father and I know it in our hearts. You are still young, only twenty-one this year. We can't let you spend the rest of your life worrying about Lele!"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Yu Qing continued, "Xiaoyu, your uncle Hu and I went to the army to pack up Hongzhi's things and took back his pension and clothes. The pension is 800 yuan, and Lele will be raised by your father and me in the future.
So we'll give you this pension. Your father and I are planning to see if there's a job for sale. If there is, we'll add a little money to help you find a job, but we won't be able to find one anytime soon. So, discuss with your parents whether you should take the 800 yuan in cash or wait for us to find you a job!
After Yu Qing finished speaking, seeing Zeng Yu's parents looking at Zeng Yu anxiously, as if they wanted to say something, he pulled Lin Jianye to stand up and said, "Xiaoyu, in-laws, you two should discuss this here first. Let's go sit in the living room first!"
After Yu Qing sat down in the living room, he asked Lin Jianye beside him with a worried look on his face, "Xiaoyu, will you choose between work and money?"
"It should be money, right? From Xiaoyu's parents' point of view, Xiaoyu is an obedient daughter!" Lin Jianye sighed and said.
Yu Qing had guessed it, too. Zeng Yu was a soft-tempered person with no strong opinions. She listened to her parents at home, and after marrying, she listened to Hongzhi. Before leaving, Hongzhi asked her to get along well with her family and write to him if she had any problems. She did as Hongzhi asked. Zeng Yu's temperament was too soft, which made her a good match for Hongzhi. Hongzhi was also a caring person, and their family was decent. Zeng Yu would not be wronged in their family.
Yu Qing was worried that Zeng Yu would take the money and be tricked into leaving by her parents. After a year of getting along, Yu Qing knew what kind of people her two in-laws were. They valued their sons more than their daughters. Zeng Yu's eldest brother would graduate from high school in the first half of this year. If Zeng Yu's parents wanted to find a job for their eldest son, they would most likely use Zeng Yu's money.
Yu Qing sighed and thought, let it be!
After a while, the door of Zeng Yu's room opened. As Yu Qing and Lin Jianye walked in, Zeng Yu's mother said, "In-laws, we've thought it over. Let's ask for money! If Xiaoyu needs a job in the future, she can go and find one herself!"
Yu Qing didn't answer immediately. He just looked at Zeng Yu and asked, "Xiaoyu, have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through, Mom. I want money!" Zeng Yu replied.
"Okay, give me your household registration tomorrow, and I will open a passbook for you during my lunch break." Yu Qing replied.
Yu Qing felt that this was safer than giving cash to Zeng Yu, and this was all she could do. After all, Zeng Yu was only her daughter-in-law for now.
Zeng Yu's parents were a little disappointed when they heard that they would not be given cash now. Zeng Yu's mother expressed it particularly obviously. Zeng Yu's father tried to hide it a little. Zeng Yu's father was almost forty years old and was still a battalion commander. He should be retired in the next two years. I wonder if he will return to his hometown to work then. Zeng Yu's father is from the northern province.
Seeing that the matter had been clarified, Lin Jianye said to the people in the room with a serious face, "My dear relatives, Xiaoyu, there is one more thing I must tell you in advance. Xiaoyu, our family has no objection to you remarrying in the future, but Lele must stay in my family. After remarrying, Xiaoyu can visit Lele often, and we will definitely not stop you. Also, as long as Xiaoyu doesn't remarry, the Lin family will always be Xiaoyu's home!"
Zeng Yu's parents nodded when they heard Lin Jianye's words, thanking him and his wife for their little Yu. Zeng Yu's reaction was quite calm. She was still grieving for Lin Hongzhi. Although she hadn't spent much time with him, she had wanted to spend her life with him since the day she married.
After Zeng Yu's parents said goodbye, Lin Hongwen hurried back. As soon as he came in, he pulled Lin Jianye and Yu Qing to the study. Lin Ziying came out of the room and saw Lin Hongwen's appearance, so he hurriedly followed.
In the study on the second floor, Lin Hongwen closed the door and immediately said, "Dad, Mom, I just arrived at the gate of the compound. Uncle Wu called me over to tell me something. There's been trouble over there recently. He also suggested that we let Lele leave home for a while, in case someone attacks Lele."
After hearing this, Lin Jianye and the other two fell silent, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Suddenly, Lin Ziying said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, how about I take Lele away?"
"No, it's too cold over there. I'm afraid Lele can't stand the journey!" Yu Qing retorted.
Lin Hongwen also continued: "The main thing is that our family is connected to the Wu family. If anything happens to our family, you and your brother-in-law will not have an easy time either!"
Lin Jianye thought about it and decided: "Let Xiaochen take it back! By the way, bring some money back to Xiaochen. Hongwen, you will explain the current situation to Xiaochen later. Zeng Yu's parents are unreliable, so I can only trouble Xiaochen.
Xiaoqing, go explain to Zeng Yu. Wait until she's finished her confinement and see what she wants before deciding what to do with her! Our family is already in this situation, and we can only move forward, not back down. Ziying, notify your father-in-law tomorrow and ask them to back out if they can. At least their family isn't holding a deep grudge against them right now.
Also, Hongwen, you and your wife should prepare everything you need in advance. Ziying, we should also prepare the letter of severance from you in advance, just in case."
After hearing what Lin Jianye said, Lin Ziying asked fearfully, "Dad, is the situation in our family so serious now?"
"Someone wants to deal with us. We are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark. It's hard to guard against them. Xiaochen, I will also prepare a letter of severance over there and send it to them. I will have them leave the capital as soon as possible. Once you are arranged, your eldest brother and I can prepare for the battle with peace of mind!"
