Chapter 343 Going to Shenzhen to take care of the children
Yang Jinwei was stunned when he heard this. "Why would we go to Shenzhen when we are living well in our hometown?"
Su Qiuyan rolled her eyes at her husband and explained, "Jinwei, you are so stubborn that you can't figure it out. Let me ask you, did my eldest brother and his wife run off to take care of Zhenzhen's child early in the morning?"
"Yes, that's because Zhenzhen doesn't have a mother-in-law to take care of the child, and the couple have to work, so there's nothing they can do."
Su Qiuyan rolled her eyes at her husband, thinking that he was not as smart as she was. "Look at you, you are not as smart as my brother and his wife. Both of our families have daughters, and they only know how to live with their daughters."
"What do you mean?" Yang Jinwei was confused. Living together is good? But he still has to take care of the children, which is not easy! He is like this now. After eating, he goes out to play chess with others or take a walk. He is so free.
"You, let me ask you, who will take care of us when we are old?" Su Qiuyan asked directly to the point.
"Who else could it be? Lili and Jingjing! Do you still want Jiabao and Jiadong to take care of us in our old age?" Yang Jinwei asked back mockingly, just based on the relationship between his family and the third brother, haha.
"I don't need them to take care of me in my old age. I have my own daughter. I mean we can just live together quietly with Lili and let her help take care of the child. This way we can be closer. Then we can stay in Shenzhen to retire in the future."
"But isn't it good for us to live in our hometown? I have my own pension, and Lili and Jingjing will give us money during the New Year and other holidays. Isn't this a comfortable life? Why do we have to go to Shenzhen?" Yang Jinwei still couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that Yang Jinwei was still stubborn, Su Qiuyan sighed helplessly and asked, "Yang Jinwei, we have a daughter, not a son. Have you ever seen a family that lives with their daughter in their old age? How can the parents-in-law have no objection? Besides, we are so far away. When we are older, who will help us if we have a headache or a fever? Should we wait to die at home? Hey, who knows, we might die at home one day and no one will know."
"Look at you, you're saying those words out of anger again, but what you said does make sense." Yang Jinwei nodded thoughtfully.
"That definitely makes sense! I told you that Haohao will be going to kindergarten in the second half of this year, so won't he need someone to pick him up then? So it's just right for us to go."
Su Qiuyan had already made up her mind. Since she was still capable, she could help her eldest daughter pick up and drop off the children, and then take care of the younger daughter's children after she got married. In any case, she was going to stay in Shenzhen.
"That's true, but Lili's mother-in-law is still here, so it's not our grandparents' turn to pick her up."
"Look at you. Grandma Lili has several sons. She probably can't take care of them all. Hasn't Lili taken care of Haohao since he was born? So, I guess if I want her mother-in-law to take care of the child, it's a stretch."
Su Qiuyan also heard a hint of complaint about her mother-in-law from her eldest daughter's call.
"Ding ding," the phone at home rang again. Su Qiuyan was close by and picked up the receiver. "Hello."
"Mom, it's me, Lili." Yang Lili on the other end of the phone pushed away her husband who was approaching her and glared at him with a frown.
"Hey, Lili, are you doing well recently? Haohao is doing well, and he will go to kindergarten soon. Oh, the children have grown up in the blink of an eye. It's time for you to have a second child. It will save you a lot of effort if you can raise them together."
"Oh, Mom, we have family planning. You are not allowed to have children. You know that."
Su Qiuyan frowned and said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with not letting you have a baby? Didn't Zhenzhen also give birth to a second child? If she can give birth, you can too."
"Mom, you don't know that when Sister Zhenzhen gave birth to her second child, she hid everywhere and was fined 2,000 yuan. I don't have the courage to do that. Besides, I can't even take care of this one, let alone the second one. I'd better stop now!"
Su Qiuyan knew he was coming when she heard this, "Oh, how come you can't take care of him? Haohao is about to go to kindergarten. It's not a big deal to ask your mother-in-law to pick him up!"
When Yang Lili heard her mother talking about this, she immediately glared at her husband and said angrily, "Mom, it would be fine if you didn't say this. I get angry when you say this. My mother-in-law won't let me pick up Haohao. She said my sister-in-law is pregnant and she wants to go to help."
"Oh, so your sister-in-law is about to give birth? Your mother-in-law is going to help with the confinement, right?"
"No, I just got pregnant. I don't know why my mother-in-law is so worried. I guess she just doesn't want to help me take care of the child. She has been unwilling to take care of the child since the birth. She has taken care of the children of elder brother Yuliang and second brother, but when it comes to me, she can't do this or that. I have finally figured it out. It is better to rely on myself than on others."
Yang Lili became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and finally she twisted the soft flesh on the inside of her husband's thigh hard, causing Chen Yuliang to twitch in pain.
"Oh, your mother-in-law is really going too far. Why? Yuliang is not her biological child." Su Qiuyan became angrier and angrier as she listened. Knowing this was one thing, but hearing it with her own ears was another. She wished she could just have a fight with her daughter's mother-in-law.
"Yes, Mom, I was originally thinking of picking him up and dropping him off myself, but today Yuliang and I have the idea of expanding the store. You know, we run a restaurant business, and once we get busy we can't take care of the kids. It's so chaotic here, and I'm afraid the kids will get lost. I'd be crying my eyes out. So I was thinking, Mom, can you and Dad come and help me take care of the kids? Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. I'll pay you thirty bucks a month. What do you think?"
Yang Lili knew her mother's personality. She probably wouldn't be willing to do something for free, but she would be happy to do it if she could get money to do it.
When Su Qiuyan heard her eldest daughter say this, the corners of her mouth widened and she almost laughed out loud, but she finally held back, "Lili, what are you talking about! Can I ask for your money? You are in trouble now, and it would be the best if your father and I could help you, but does Yuliang know about this? Don't let you and your wife have conflicts."
After hearing this, Yang Lili glanced at her husband and sneered, "He doesn't have the nerve to say that. It's because his mother didn't want to take him! Mom, you and my dad should prepare. I'll buy you tickets. Jiabao is getting married in August, and since you guys are coming anyway, why not come early and rent out the house in your hometown? That way you can earn some money every month."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll talk to your dad."
"Okay, Mom, then I'll book the room for you and wait for you to come!" Yang Lili said happily and hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Chen Yuliang asked with a smile: "Did Dad and Mom agree to come and take care of our children?"
Yang Lili rolled her eyes at him. "Humph, I can't count on your mom in this life, and your dad can't control your mom. Sometimes I really doubt whether you are my biological child. I told you, although my mom doesn't want a salary, I still have to give them some pocket money every month. Look, whose grandmother doesn't take care of the children? She still needs grandparents to come over. You don't have the same surname as Yang."
Chen Yuliang's mouth shrank, and he whispered, "My mother has disliked me since I was a child. She thinks I caused her to have a difficult birth. Anyway, she dislikes me the least out of the four children in the family."
"Humph, I don't care about the reason. Anyway, I will take whatever your elder brother and second brother give to support your parents in their old age. Don't even think about asking for more."
As she came into contact with more people over the years, Yang Lili's personality became tougher, especially after she met Chen Yuliang, she seemed like a serf who had risen up.
On the other side, Su Qiuyan hung up the phone and looked at her husband with a smile, "Look, Lili called and asked us to take care of her children. She said she would pay us thirty yuan a month."
"You don't really want her money?"
Su Qiuyan glanced at her husband and said with a smile, "I said no, but she'll tell me when she really wants to give it to me!"
"Stop talking, you can't take this money,"
"Okay, pack your things quickly and stop talking."
"Hey, we're talking about money, don't change the subject..."
