Chapter 185 Meeting
The disgusting old lady Zhou that Yang Xiufen mentioned was really thinking of disgusting ideas at this moment. She smiled and looked at her daughter-in-law, "Xiaoyue, don't worry, Mom will definitely make your sister-in-law give in, and then you can ask her to give you the job."
Fang Xiaoyue sighed unhappily, "Mom, my sister-in-law has already said she doesn't want to, what can you do? My brother doesn't listen to you either."
Old Lady Zhou pretended to be angry and patted Xiaoyue. "How can you talk like that? I'm your eldest brother's biological mother. How can he not listen to me? It's just that I don't want to make things awkward for them, so I just go along with them."
Fang Xiaoyue curled her lips and muttered, "So what do you have in mind?"
Old Mrs. Zhou glanced at her and said proudly, "You are still young. What do you think your sister-in-law is most afraid of me not doing?"
"What I'm most afraid of is that you won't do anything?" Fang Xiaoyue thought about it and shook her head. She was not a worm in Yang Xiufen's stomach, so how could she know what she was thinking?
"You," Old Lady Zhou shook her head and continued, "Isn't Yang Xiufen looking forward to me taking care of her child?"
"Oh, yes, she didn't have a baby before because you said you wouldn't take care of the baby for her. So, mom, do you mean you're threatening her by not taking care of the baby?"
Fang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. This was a really good idea, but she soon lost her temper again. "Mom, if you don't let her take care of her, you can always ask her biological mother to take care of her. She has her own mother!"
Old Lady Zhou glanced at Fang Xiaoyue and said, "You are stupid but you still refuse to admit it. Let me ask you, have you ever seen a family where the grandmother takes care of the children? In other families, several sons have children, and they can't even take care of their own children, so how can they have the time to take care of someone else's family? I have asked around, and your eldest sister-in-law's brother has a one-year-old child, and it is usually her mother who takes care of him. Even if this child grows up, her second sister-in-law still has a little daughter, doesn't she also need her mother to help? Do you think her mother will have time to take care of her child? Even if her mother is willing, will her sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters be willing?"
Fang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. "Mom, you're amazing. You've thought of all this. This is how Yang Xiufen should be treated. Who lets her be so proud?"
"You, stop calling her Yang Xiufen all the time. After all, she is your sister-in-law. You have to save face." Old Mrs. Zhou was still willing to put on a show.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't care about that. She asked excitedly, "Mom, are you thinking that you won't give Yang Xiufen confinement care after she gives birth? And you want her to promise to give me the job so that I can take care of her and the baby, right?"
Old Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes at her. "What? Am I such a wicked person? We are all women, and the hatred during the confinement period is irreconcilable. How can I do this? At most, when she is out of confinement and ready to go back to work, I will say that I sprained my ankle and can't take care of the child. Then she will have to take care of the child by herself. Then she can't go to work, and then I will ask her to give you the job. We are all family, and it's better to keep the wealth within the family!"
Fang Xiaoyue hesitated, "Doesn't that mean I still have to pay for it myself? Mom, you know that Afeng and I don't have much money, so..."
"I know, I know. It's okay for me to pay. I really owe you." Old Mrs. Zhou thought that she would give part of the money when the time comes and owe the rest first. It was not necessary to pay all at once.
Fang Xiaoyue happily pulled Mrs. Zhou and said, "Thank you, Auntie. You are so kind to me."
"You, if you weren't my niece, I wouldn't care about you. You're not like me at all, and you don't have any ability at all." Old Mrs. Zhou looked at Fang Xiaoyue with disdain.
"Hehe, I know you are the best, auntie."
"Okay, call me mom, not aunt."
…
That day, Jiang Xinbai was pulled over by Sun Chaoying as soon as he got to work. "Xinbai, come here. I want to talk to you about something."
"What's the matter, Sister Ying?" Jiang Xinbai took off her shoulder bag, put it on the counter, and asked curiously.
"What else could it be? Just like what I said last time, Zhang Chengliang thinks that as long as the old man is easy to get along with, it's fine to live together. Anyway, he doesn't have any elders at home, so it's fine."
When Jiang Xinbai heard about this, she nodded and replied, "That's perfect. My mother told me last night that the girl said that as long as she agreed to bring her grandmother along, she could meet him. But as you know, Granny Sun is a barefoot doctor and she's quite worried about Zhang Chengliang's eyes, so we still have to meet first. How about we make an appointment?"
Sun Chaoying thought for a moment and replied, "Why don't we arrange it this Sunday when everyone is at home resting, and have both Grandma Sun and her grandson come to Zhang Chengliang's house to have a look. I mean, if it weren't for Chengliang's child's poor eyesight, the girl wouldn't have gotten to stay. After all, Chengliang's family conditions are really good, at least those two rooms are very attractive."
"Okay, I'll call and tell her when I get back." Jiang Xinbai thought that it would be okay to go to the man's house to take a look. She couldn't just listen to Sister Ying's words, she had to see it in person.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's so noisy." At this time, Chen Xiaomei also walked in with a shoulder bag.
Jiang Xinbai looked at her with a smile, "Sister Xiaomei, your child doesn't have a fever anymore?" Chen Xiaomei's child is now four months old. A few days ago, she didn't know if he caught a cold, but he suddenly had a fever, which scared Chen Xiaomei.
When Chen Xiaomei heard Jiang Xinbai asking about her son, she breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Well, he didn't have a fever yesterday, but he's still a little tired and isn't feeding well. But the doctor said it's nothing serious and he'll get better slowly."
"That's good. Children are afraid of heat. If they take off their clothes and the wind blows, they will catch a cold. So you still have to be careful."
"Yes, it's just what you said. My son has had a lot of prickly heat recently. My mother-in-law felt sorry for him, so she took off his clothes before he slept, and then he caught a cold. I wanted to say something to my mother-in-law, but when I saw that she was so anxious that she was crying, and I thought about how hard it was for her to take care of the child, I swallowed my complaints."
Sun Chaoying smiled and looked at Chen Xiaomei, saying, "Xiaomei, you are right to do this. Your mother-in-law didn't do it on purpose. She just loves the child. If you complain to her, you will vent your anger, but it will also hurt feelings. After all, it's good for the child to grow taller after having a fever."
Chen Xiaomei smiled and asked, "By the way, what did you talk about just now?"
"Hey, we just talked about introducing a guy to a girl in my village. Sister Ying mentioned a young man in her courtyard, so we wanted to let the two meet."
Chen Xiaomei was delighted when she heard this, "Hehe, you guys are even matchmakers, that's really interesting."
"Look at what you said, it's all just a coincidence."
"Stop chatting, a guest is coming," Sun Chaoying pushed Jiang Xinbai and the other person and quickly stood up straight.
