Chapter 110 Type A (Part 2) Dad took us to get tested last year...
The three sisters' surname is Zhang.
Their father is Zhang Tianping, who used to work in the Yicheng government office.
Because of his outstanding performance, the leader planned to transfer him to the provincial government. Unexpectedly, the leader took advantage of his father-in-law's status and was transferred to the more economically developed Northeast, taking Zhang Tianping with him.
The person who succeeded Zhang Tianping was Director Hu, who later caused trouble.
Now, Director Hu has fallen, but Zhang Tianping is living a good life with his leader. How can this not be a happy contrast?
But Zhang Tianping was not happy because he only had three daughters and no sons.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to him who was born in the countryside. The more comfortable his life was, the stronger this regret became.
He has tried hard over the years, but to no avail. Perhaps he is really destined to be childless.
He lay in his bedroom, staring at the incandescent light bulb above his head in a daze.
Soon, his wife, Li Man, came in with a calendar in her hand. She handed it to him and said, "Pick a date. Let's get our child married soon and put our worries to rest."
Zhang Tianping sat up and looked through the calendar in silence.
He looked down on his son-in-law, but there was nothing he could do. His eldest daughter didn't want to go to the countryside to work in the fields, so he could only find a relative's daughter to replace her.
In exchange, his daughter's original fiancé was given to another daughter of a relative.
The guy he is looking for now is the one his daughter is dating herself. Apart from being handsome, he has no other advantages and is far inferior to the one he originally liked.
He was a little reluctant, but...his eldest daughter was old enough after all, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to stay.
He doesn't want to marry into the family, so out of sight, out of mind.
He flipped the calendar back and picked a date that sounded auspicious: September 9th.
Li Man had no objection. She took the calendar and asked indifferently, "I heard your cousin got into trouble. She accepted bribes and is under house arrest for five years because she's pregnant. It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Did she bribe the doctor? You have to tell them. If this gets out, the crime will be even more serious."
Zhang Tianping rested his hands on his head and did not respond.
Li Man was used to it. Ever since she discovered his dirty deeds, he had been acting like this. It was really disgusting.
If it weren't for her three daughters, she would have divorced long ago.
Who are you showing this face to all day long?
But she had good self-control and did not get angry. She just stood up silently and left.
The three daughters were completely kept in the dark, looking innocent and unaware of the sufferings of the world.
It’s great that she endured humiliation and hardship just to prevent her daughters from suffering.
The eldest is now 23 and will be married soon. The two younger ones are 15 and 17, and will be married soon too.
In a few years, when they are all married, she will be free, and it won't be too late to settle accounts with this man then.
After dinner, she took her three daughters out to buy dowries.
The things in state-owned shopping malls are better, and her family is not short of money, so of course she chooses the best.
After buying things, I happened to see Cui Wen, so I quickly pulled my three daughters into the toy store and quickly hid away.
The three daughters never understood why their parents always deliberately avoided certain people.
For example, the one today, I have seen it several times since I came to Northeast China. One time, they were really curious and couldn’t help but ask about it. The answer they got was: Children should stay out of the adults’ business.
I am speechless.
It happened again today, but this woman seemed very kind. Could it be someone my parents offended at work?
Forget it, it’s none of their business. They don’t have to worry about food or clothing, so they can just be happy and be idle.
Soon, Cui Wen finished shopping and went to the accounting office to get a drink from Yao Weiguo. "Look, these are enough for Dad to eat and drink on the road, right?"
Yao Weiguo brought her a glass of cold boiled water and said, "That's enough. I have no reason to worry about what you bought."
"Are you blaming me in your heart? My whole family is gone, and only our family is left." Cui Wen drank some water, but still wanted to ask him a true question.
Yao Weiguo took the teacup with a smile: "What are you thinking about? My younger sister is important, but aren't my wife and children important? Besides, we have three children now, and it's not easy to transfer your job. My younger sister will understand."
Cui Wen had no choice. Life would bring many dilemmas, and she could only be selfish for once. Her parents were both locals, and she had three children. Her entire network of relatives and friends was here. How could she give up so easily?
What's more, she is about to be promoted to senior designer, she can't give up just like that.
She could only compensate him financially, so she asked, "Shall I send some money to my younger sister?"
"No need, she is not short of money." Yao Weiguo quickly refused. His salary was not as high as Cui Wen's, so how could he let her send money to his younger sister? Besides, his younger sister was capable and was already a wealthy woman.
Wei Hua told him all this, and Cui Wen also knew it.
Cui Wen was helpless: "Then I'll buy some toys for the child and ask Dad to take them over."
"That's fine." Yao Weiguo had no objection. Since they couldn't go, he decided to buy some things for the kids. He couldn't help but sigh, "It would be so convenient if Yicheng had an airport. Even if it costs a little money, at least we don't have to take a long vacation and can go several times a year."
"There will be." Cui Wen stood up, left the things here, and went to pick some toys.
There are six children over there.
After buying the toys, she still felt bad, so she simply picked out a set of clothes for each child. The children's clothes required fewer cloth coupons. Her family was a working family, and her parents also had salaries after retirement, so this little bit was not a big deal. At worst, she and Yao Weiguo would not buy new clothes this year, and they could just wear old ones to celebrate the New Year.
After finishing all the arrangements, she came back with the food and prepared to deliver it to the compound.
Yao Weiguo warned, "If you run into Political Commissar Ning and he asks you about Wei Hua, just say that Wei Hua hasn't called home recently and he doesn't know."
"I see." Cui Wen was a little confused. This brother-in-law didn't like any girl. Did he really intend to live with his nephew and niece?
What to do when you get old?
Even if the children are filial and willing to raise him, they are not their biological children after all.
Forget it, it's not appropriate for her to get involved in this matter, or she will be complained about later. When she went downstairs, she always felt that someone was looking at her. She looked up and didn't find anything unusual, so she left.
Behind her, Li Man took her three daughters to the candy store next door to see if there were any new types of wedding candies.
After looking around, it was still the same. I couldn't help but feel disappointed and muttered, "These factories don't come up with new products. I'm tired of them."
The daughters also murmured that marriage is a major event in life, and who doesn’t want to make it unique and exquisite.
These old-fashioned candies don't make me hungry.
Let's wait a little longer.
Seeing her daughters looking dejected, Li Man could only console them, saying, "I'll go home and ask your cousin if there are any different kinds of candies in Yicheng. It's still not too late to send some over."
"Okay!" The daughters turned into happy little magpies again. Li Man had a smile on her lips. She just had to swallow the bitterness of an old mother silently. As long as they were happy, everything was worth it.
On the way home, Li Man met a friend from the hospital and greeted him with a smile.
Her friend pulled her aside and whispered, "Last month, a pregnant woman in our hospital had hemolytic disease. She died along with her child because there was no early intervention. What are your and your husband's blood types? The child isn't type O, is he?"
"I don't know. I haven't tested it. Is it that scary?" Li Man was shocked. She didn't pay much attention to this.
Unexpectedly, the little daughter interrupted and said, "I know, I know. Dad took us to the hospital for a test last year and he is type A. The three of us have both A and O. Mom, you could be either A or O."
"Really? When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?" Li Man was very surprised. Why did he do a blood test for no reason and hide it from her?
The daughters explained, “When you were hospitalized with a fever last year, Dad said we should do a test to see if we had the same viral infection as you.”
Oh, that makes sense. She had a pretty bad fever that time.
Li Man chatted with her friend for a few more words and then went back.
When she returned home and asked Zhang Tianping, she got the same answer. Li Man felt relieved, put away the bedding she had bought, and called her cousin in Yicheng.
The other party quickly agreed and asked her how much she needed.
She didn't want to embarrass him, since he was under house arrest after all, so she told him, "Find a friend to help buy it for you. Two kilograms will be enough."
"Isn't two kilograms a little too little? Don't worry, I'll ask someone to buy more. I have the tickets, so I can have as much as you want."
"Okay, then you can buy whatever you want." Li Man hung up the phone, turned around and went out with her daughters again.
She didn't see any suitable clothes in the mall, as they were all old styles that she didn't like, so she planned to take her daughter to an old tailor to have a set tailor-made for her.
Marriage is a major event that happens once in a lifetime and cannot be taken lightly.
When they got home that night, the two younger sisters came over and asked their older sister, "Mom asked us to help you write the invitations. Does your former classmate want to invite you?"
"No." The eldest daughter shook her head. She didn't know what Yao Jingjing was up to and why she did such a thing.
She even considered Yao Jingjing a good friend, but she didn't know anything and only heard it from other classmates.
Yao Jingjing is still in jail now, who would hire her? It's disgusting.

Yao Weihua went to visit his second sister.
Yao Miaomiao was feeding her baby and talking to him through the door.
"Sister, that vegetable bun is very pitiful, please help."
"It's not that I don't want to help, but what does he think? Just like that Qin Yicheng, I found him a girl, but he ran away, and the woman blamed me for a long time. If this happens again, I will really get angry."
"I asked him, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem and won't go."
"How about this, you ask him to come to me tomorrow and I'll talk to him. Wei Hua, you have to consider my sister's difficulties. It hasn't been long since she was transferred here. You can't offend anyone, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to him. By the way, sister..." Yao Weihua wanted to talk about Yao Jingjing's classmate, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.
It hasn’t been clarified yet. My second sister is already overwhelmed enough taking care of four children.
He glanced at his mother who was knitting and gave her a few words of advice: "Mom, when you have time, come visit us. The house prepared for my dad has been furnished. Go and see if anything is missing."
"I do want to go, but I can't leave. What about four children? As for your mother, I can only relax for a while every day when your sister comes home from get off work." Xie Chunxing was helpless. She really couldn't leave for her second daughter. It would be better after the child was weaned at the end of the year.
Yao Weihua pondered for a moment and said, "I'll think of a way to get a stroller that can carry two children at a time. This way it will be more convenient for you to take the children out."
"Okay, go ahead and do it. You've been smart since you were young. Mom is waiting for good news from you." Xie Chunxing smiled and her hands moved so fast that they left afterimages.
Yao Weihua smiled and thought of it on the way back. Isn’t it just a matter of modifying the cart we usually use?
Just use bamboo strips to weave a big thing, add some bamboo poles and a few rubber wheels. It's not difficult.
When I got home, I quickly prepared the ingredients to free my mother's hands as soon as possible.
