Chapter 108 Don't Do It
Seeing that her eldest daughter didn't seem to be lying, Sun Erni also became serious and asked, "Did you come up with this idea yourself or did you discuss it with Zhou Yu?"
After hearing the mother's question, Yang Xiufen subconsciously turned her head away and replied, "I can make the decision on my own work, no need to ask him."
Sun Erni knew this was the case. She sighed and said, "But you got this job thanks to Zhou Yu's connections. Mom knows you're worried about Xiumin, but you can't let this cause unrest in your family. Don't tell me whether Zhou Yu agrees or not, because your mother-in-law will probably make a fuss."
"Mom, why do you care about my mother-in-law? She can't control me."
"Okay, Mom and Xiumin appreciate your kindness. Things haven't come to that point yet. It's not like you have to go to the countryside. Who knows, the high schools may start recruiting students again." Sun Erni still had good hope.
"And Xiumin, don't scare yourself."
Yang Xiumin lowered her head, looking listless. She didn't believe that the high school could still start recruiting students. If she were not old enough, she really wanted to just find someone to marry.
In the evening, Yang Jinsheng was ready to tell everyone what happened while they were together. He coughed twice and said, "Well, Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."
Yang Fugui raised his eyelids and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me now."
"Xiaobai and I are planning to move out in a while. We've rented a house near the grain station, which is also close to here." Yang Jinsheng said with a smile.
Sun Erni subconsciously looked at Su Qiuyan when she heard this, and then she scolded Yang Jinsheng, "Yang Jinsheng, is there no place for you to live at home? Why are you moving? You should save your salary."
"Mom, we have already rented a house."
"Then I'll quit."
“I can’t retreat.”
Seeing her mother-in-law and husband arguing with each other, Jiang Xinbai couldn't help but say, "Mom, we thought about it for a long time before deciding to move out. Look at our house, the kitchen is so small, and it's very inconvenient for the three of us to cook together."
Seeing her daughter-in-law mentioned this, Sun Erni had nothing to say. Having dinner together every day was indeed a waste of time.
"Forget it, if you want to move, then move. How about the house? Do you need me to help you clean it up? How much is the rent per month?"
Jiang Xinbai glanced at her husband and pursed her lips and said, "The landlord paid us for fifty-one years, which works out to a little over eight dollars a month. It's a small yard with two rooms, a front yard and a back yard, but it's a little run-down. We plan to fix it up, and it'll probably take about a month."
"You guys are also required to pay for the repairs? How will the money be calculated? Did you just pay rent for this month for nothing?"
"No, Mom, listen to me. It's like this. The yard is pretty run-down and needs major repairs. We have to pay for it ourselves, since we're going to live there ourselves. But the landlord has waived two months' rent, which gives us time to repair the house." This was the draft that Jiang Xinbai had prepared in advance. She thought that no one would suspect anything if she said this!
But Sun Erni still felt it was inappropriate, "What if after you repair it, people don't want to rent it anymore?"
"No, Mom, we signed a twenty-year contract. And the owner of the house lives in Hai City and basically won't come back." Yang Jinsheng explained.
"Twenty years? Third brother, you guys are really great, why did you sign for such a long time? What if you get a house in the future? You can't live in both places." Yang Jinwei thought his younger brother was really crazy. Who would rent a house for such a long time.
Yang Fugui was also frightened by these twenty years, and hurriedly asked: "Third brother, have you paid all the rent?" But he immediately realized that this was impossible. Fifty years a year would be one thousand for twenty years, and the third brother and his wife did not have that much money.
Yang Jinsheng was really at a loss for words, "Dad, how is that possible? I'm not stupid. I didn't give it to you. The rent is paid annually, starting from next year."
"Okay, let's fix what needs to be fixed so that it will be more convenient for you to live here. You can spend the New Year together this year and then move out after the New Year!" Sun Erni thought that the New Year was not far away, so they might as well spend the last year together!
"Yeah, we thought so too."
At this time, Su Qiuyan said, "Third brother, if you move away, your mother won't be able to help you take care of the child. You can't just leave the child at home for your mother to take care of, right?" Su Qiuyan thought that if her mother-in-law didn't take care of the child for the third brother's family, then she would definitely have to help with her own child.
Jiang Xinbai could not help but understand what she was thinking. She looked directly at her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "Mom, I was just about to tell you about this. You see, our yard is not far from here, only five or six minutes' walk. You can take care of Xiaobao at home during the day, and we can take care of him ourselves after get off work in the evening. He can go to nursery when he is over one year old." It happened that the meat processing factory also had its own nursery, and children could be sent there generally when they were one year old.
"Why send him to a nursery? As a grandmother, I'm still free. I'll take care of him for you and come back after you get off work." Sun Erni was reluctant to part with her eldest grandson, so this arrangement was the best for her younger daughter-in-law.
"Haha, Xinbai really doesn't care about her mother. She makes an old lady run back and forth like this. If she is not her real mother, then she doesn't care about her mother at all!" Su Qiuyan suddenly said in a yin-yang way.
Before anyone else could say anything, Yang Jinwei pulled his wife's sleeve and scolded in a low voice: "Su Qiuyan, if you have nothing to do, go back to your room. Everyone is unhappy if you stay here."
Su Qiuyan was unhappy when she heard this, "Yang Jinwei, what do you mean by this? How did I make you all unhappy? Explain it to me clearly."
"Don't you know what I mean? How has my mother's babysitting for the third brother's family interfered with your affairs? You keep talking about it all the time. Don't think I don't know what you have been doing recently. Don't talk nonsense in front of Xiumin. If I find out, you'll be in trouble."
"Wait, how long do you want me to wait, Yang Jinwei, do you have a conscience? Who am I doing this for? After I give birth to the kids, I will have to take care of two children. How do you want me to do that if mom doesn't help? You, on the other hand, have free time at work, and I am left alone to suffer..." Su Qiuyan started crying as she spoke.
Yang Jinwei's face turned green after hearing what she said, and he said unhappily, "Who said before that we couldn't let mom take care of the third child's child? You said you could take care of your own child. Isn't that what you caused? Now you're saying you can't take care of the child. Is that interesting?"
"Wow, Yang Jinwei, you all bully me..."
Yang Lili, who was playing in the room, opened the door immediately when she heard her mother crying and said in a sobbing voice: "Dad, don't quarrel with Mom, Dad, don't..."
Sun Erni was angry at first, but when she saw her pitiful granddaughter, her heart softened again. She went forward to hug the child and said to Su Qiuyan, "Don't worry, I won't let you take care of the child alone. I'll help you, so don't do it here."
