Chapter 308: Staying
Over there, Jiang Xinhong, who had just returned home, thought for a moment and went to the door of her second son's room first, calling softly, "Tingting, Tingting..."
Huang Tingting, who was in the room, heard her mother-in-law's voice and quickly put the sleeping child in her arms on the bed. Then she quietly opened the door and whispered to her mother-in-law, "Mom, Ruirui just fell asleep."
"Oh, then come out! I have something to tell you." Jiang Xinhong said in a low voice.
Huang Tingting knew that her mother-in-law had just gone to her grandmother's house and must have met her aunt. She pursed her lips, thinking of her mother's instructions, and felt reluctant to leave her child. Oh, it's really hard!
Jiang Xinhong pulled her daughter-in-law to sit in the yard and whispered, "Tingting, Mom told you before that you and Shirong would go to work in the factory in Shenzhen, are you really not going?"
Huang Tingting was relieved to see her mother-in-law talking about this again. She whispered, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to go, but I can't bear to leave my child. I ran into my mother on the street yesterday, and she also advised me to go with Arong. I know you are all doing this for my own good, but..."
"I know you've just become a mother, and you must be reluctant to leave your child so young, but you also have to think about your relationship. Of course, I'm not saying that I don't trust Shirong. I know my own son, but I can't resist the temptation of someone with ulterior motives, right? So I thought of letting you and your wife go to Shenzhen together, so that you can make more money. Of course, it's up to you to decide what to do in the end."
Huang Tingting listened to her mother-in-law's words and knew that it was all for her own good. However, she had another idea. "Mom, I want to take the children and Shirong to Shenzhen."
"Bring your child with you?" Jiang Xinhong hadn't really thought of this, but she soon frowned and asked, "If you bring your child with you, then you won't be able to go to work? I heard that the factory only provides dormitories, and you can't live with your child. You have to rent a house, which is a huge expense. Big cities are more expensive than here, and the little money Bie Shirong earns is all spent on it."
Hearing this, Huang Tingting lowered her head and stopped talking.
At this time, there was a noise outside the yard, and then Liu Dan came in with a piece of meat, and said with a smile: "Mom, I just met my eldest brother on the road, and he brought me a piece of meat. Let's make dumplings to eat in the evening!"
Seeing that it was the eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang Xinhong waved to her and said, "Don't worry about the dumplings for now. Dandan, come and sit down. I just talked to Tingting about going to Shenzhen. Come and tell me about it."
Liu Dan first put the pork in the kitchen, then washed her hands and sat next to her mother-in-law, smiling and saying, "Mom, I was just about to tell you, I'm going with Shixin, so I'll have to trouble you and Dad with the child."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xinhong burst into laughter, "Oh, how did you figure it out? I thought I would have to persuade you for a long time!"
"Sister-in-law, you..." Huang Tingting wanted to ask, "Are you willing to give up your child?" But she stopped talking.
Liu Dan knew they were confused, so he waved his hand and explained, "I just said that I met my eldest brother, and he told me a lot. If nothing else, I have to go for the sake of the children! You see, the children are still young, so it's okay. When they grow up, it will cost more money. At least our house will not be able to accommodate them! We need to buy a new house, and all these things will cost money."
"But, but the child is still so young..." Huang Tingting was still thinking about pulling her sister-in-law Liu Dan to her side. If both of them said they would take the child to Shenzhen, then her mother-in-law would not say anything.
"You don't make money when the child is young? I was wrong before, thinking that the child without a mother is pitiful, but now I think that the child without money is pitiful! Watching others eat delicious food, he can only watch from the side, that's pitiful, not to mention," Liu Dan paused, "Don't underestimate the child, but children are the most snobbish. You can't notice it now, but when he grows up, he will only blame you for not having money to spend on him."
"That's not the case. There has never been such a heartless child in our family. Dandan, you are going too far." Jiang Xinhong defended her grandson.
Liu Dan smiled and continued, "Mom, that's what I said. Anyway, my eldest brother explained it to me clearly. I think he is right. For now, it is more important for us to make money. When we have money, we can take our children to school there, just like my second aunt and my youngest aunt's family."
Jiang Xinhong smiled with satisfaction when she heard her say that. "Hey, you're right. Discuss with Shixin tonight whether you want to go with your aunt and the others in a few days."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go back to the room and pack up my clothes and other things." Liu Dan stood up with a smile.
"Well, go ahead!" Jiang Xinhong nodded, then looked at the silent Huang Tingting, "Tingting, decide for yourself! I won't force you. It's up to you whether you leave the child to me or you take care of the child at home, or you want to take the child with you. Anyway, you can discuss it with Shirong!" After saying that, she got up and went back into the house.
Huang Tingting slowly raised her head and pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the evening, Huang Tingting, who was folding clothes, couldn't help but ask, "Arong, do you want me to go to Shenzhen with you?"
Han Shirong, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard his wife's question, turned his head to look at her and said, "You are reluctant to give up the child! In fact, you can also take care of the child at home. Working in the factory is hard and you may not be able to bear it."
"Am I a person who is afraid of hardship?" Huang Tingting rolled her eyes at her husband in annoyance. Is this what she meant?
"I didn't say you were afraid of hardship. You just didn't want to go. It's okay. I'll go first and we'll talk about the rest later."
Han Shirong is now thinking about making more money and going home. After all, the whole family is now crowded in one yard. Alas, his parents had to give up the proper room for them to get married. The old couple built another room in the backyard to live in. And the third child doesn't dare to date because he doesn't have a separate room.
He thought of buying a house when he made money so that his family would have more space.
"I," Huang Tingting gritted her teeth and whispered, "My sister-in-law came back today and said that she would go to the factory to work with my brother. I want to take Ruirui with me." After saying that, she looked at her husband expectantly.
"Bring the child? That won't work," Han Shirong rejected it outright. "I've inquired about it. The factory provides food and accommodation, but it's a single dormitory, separated by gender. I live in the factory, where will you and the child live? You can't just leave the free dormitory and rent a house, right?"
"That's definitely not a big deal. Aren't my second aunt and my youngest aunt both in Shenzhen? Can't Ruirui and I stay at their houses first?"
Huang Tingting looked at Han Shirong expectantly. She had wanted to say this when her mother-in-law said she wanted to rent a house. Since she has relatives in Shenzhen, then it should be no problem for her to stay there for a while, right?
