Chapter 309: Provoking the Ex-wife Only your son calls me mom, no one...
Chu Lingyi couldn't stand it anymore. She had been asked this question so many times. How could she not know whether she was pregnant or not?
She was annoyed, rolled her eyes, ignored him, and turned around to change her daughter's diaper.
In fact, she knew in her heart that this bastard disliked her for being fat, but when she was pregnant with her first child, even though the Shan family was still somewhat respectable, they had so many people that they could not eat as much as they wanted.
Nowadays, the conditions of remarried men are better, and she doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position anymore.
So when it’s time to eat, we still have to have two bowls of rice as the base, and pour the milky white and thick crucian carp soup on top, that’s what goes well with rice.
She eats well and has good milk. Her daughter is plump and white because of her feeding. She is so cute.
Turning around and seeing Lu Yuan's son, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, she would never learn from Lu Yuan. What's the good of losing weight? Wouldn't it make the child suffer?
Look at this cheap son, he is so thin, like a bean sprout, and he doesn’t eat well. I hope he has some gastrointestinal problems.
Although she didn't have much genuine affection for the child, she didn't want to be branded a vicious stepmother. After some thought, she reminded him, "If you have time to worry about me, why don't you take your son to see him? I've seen Editor-in-Chief Yao's son. Their birthdays are one after the other, so why is there such a big height difference?"
Director Zhang was quite self-aware: "Don't you see how tall Editor-in-Chief Yao's husband is? I'm only a little over 1.7 meters. It's normal for the child to look like me."
Chu Lingyi felt that it was not just this reason. Lu Yuan was too petite. If she didn't eat well, the child might not be fertilized in the womb.
So she gave the example of a factory worker: "That's not the case. Mr. Cheng is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and his wife is only a little over 1.5 meters tall. Their son is growing so fast, like he's eating pig feed. I think our son has digestive problems. Don't be afraid of the trouble. Take him to see a doctor. I won't go because my daughter needs to be fed."
Director Zhang thought about it and thought it made sense. He decided to go, but he still reminded him, "Then come with me. You can check it out too. Make sure it's not some kind of overeating disease."
Well, after all this circling, it came back to her. Chu Lingyi rolled her eyes and cursed, "You're crazy! What's wrong with a breastfeeding woman eating more? Can't you see how beautiful our daughter is?"
"My daughter is pretty, like a dough, but you are too fat. Be careful of high blood pressure." Director Zhang had just met Lu Yuan today, and the contrast was terrible.
He himself was not a big and strong man, so naturally he wanted his woman to be petite and cute. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity for Lu Yuan.
If only she had followed the right path, the couple would have lived happily ever after.
So he couldn't answer the question that Lu Yuan asked him today.
In terms of feelings, his relationship with Lu Yuan is definitely deeper than that with Chu Lingyi, but what Lu Yuan did was too outrageous, and he had to face the seriousness of the matter.
If we have to compare it with Chu Lingyi's replacement of other people's grades, the degree of badness is probably only 20 or 30 points for one and 100 for the other.
However, his words don't count. Once the truth comes out...
After much deliberation, he finally advised, "I say, don't go to school this year. Your daughter isn't weaned yet. Wait until this summer and take the exam yourself. Try a good university, either in the provincial capital or the capital. Yicheng University is not bad, but it's a little behind in terms of quality."
Chu Lingyi sneered, "Do you really think I'm a fool? You took the kids to visit the prison today, and you've been nitpicking since you came back. Now you're asking me not to go to school. Was it Lu Yuan who instigated this? I'm telling you, no way!"
"Then don't you consider me and the child? Don't you know your own weight? Others have real talents and were admitted, but you've been exposed after being your classmate for a few days. When we both go in, what will happen to the child? Give him to your brother and sister-in-law to raise? That's fine, then your parents will live with your brother and sister-in-law, so don't cry." Director Zhang is usually tongue-tied, but Lu Yuan's words were really a wake-up call, knocking on his not-so-bright head.
He spoke so clearly that even Chu Lingyi herself was speechless.
She was so angry she didn't speak all night. The next morning, as soon as the supply and marketing cooperative opened, she ran over and called the provincial capital: "Auntie, if anyone really has doubts about my schooling, will the Education Bureau allow them to check my exam papers?"
"No, ordinary people can't contact the leaders of the Education Bureau, so don't worry. If you are really scared, then don't go to school and take the exam yourself. Well, I still have to take care of my grandchildren, so I won't say anymore." The voice on the other end was a middle-aged woman, and she hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Chu Lingyi had a headache. She was afraid that the other party was just trying to coax her, but she was also hoping for luck. What if?
What if this matter could really be fooled? She hadn't been to school for so many years, and she had no confidence that she could pass the exam.
Unless she asks her elder brother to give her special tutoring for a year or two, the difficulty of the college entrance examination will definitely increase by then, and it would be better to take it now.
After much thought, she decided to go home and discuss it with her mother.
I met that aunt from the province through her mother's channels, so maybe her mother knew some exact details.
When she returned home, she shared Director Zhang's concerns with her mother, who comforted her, "Didn't you see that Director Yuan was transferred? There's no way anyone could investigate. Even Director Xiao, his own son and daughter-in-law have replaced other people's achievements."
Chu Lingyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Director Xiao himself was not clean. No wonder he was transferred here. Such a leader would definitely not agree to let the candidates check their scores, as it would easily implicate his own son and daughter-in-law.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I thought so. It turns out we're on the same page. So your son-in-law's position as factory director should be secure, right?"
"Needless to say? The aunt you're looking for is my close friend," Chu's mother consoled her. "I heard there will be new economic policies this year. I wonder how popular your husband's position as factory director will be then. If you don't go to college and increase your leverage, when he gets surrounded by a few beautiful young women in the future, what will you have to compete with?"
Chu Lingyi couldn't help but sigh, yes, what can I compare with?
She is not as good-looking as Lu Yuan, she is older and her figure is out of shape. She is disliked by men every day and is really at a disadvantage everywhere.
However, if she had a college degree and could get a good job after graduation, then even if there was a greedy man eyeing her, she would not be powerless to fight back.
Moreover, she must hurry up and give birth to a son. Although she herself does not have the idea of favoring boys over girls, she will try her best to feed her daughter well, for fear that her daughter will not have enough milk. But this is the way the world is. If a woman already has a son and she does not give birth to one, when her daughter gets married in the future, this half-blood brother from her mother's family may not be willing to be a supporter for her daughter, and the family property will probably be tilted towards the adopted son.
After much thought, she gritted her teeth and decided to go all the way: "Then I'd better go for it! Otherwise, wouldn't this money be wasted?"
"Go ahead if you should. You're not the only one pulling these little tricks, so what are you afraid of? Isn't that how the world works? Whoever has the ability can do whatever they want." Mother Chu continued to comfort her daughter. "I recently heard that Director Xiao brought his widowed sister-in-law from the Northeast to take over Editor-in-Chief Yao's job. Just imagine how powerful their backgrounds must be, to be able to snatch up such a lucrative position so easily."
Chu Lingyi couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to have power, otherwise I could also become the editor-in-chief."
"Who says you can't? That widow is already in her forties. She will have to retire in a few years, and you will graduate by then." Chu's mother had already planned it out. With her relationship with her friend, it would only take a word for her to let her daughter take over.
At most, I can give you some filial piety.
Chu Lingyi was successfully persuaded by her mother and completely stopped considering the possibility of retaking the exam.
At noon, when Director Zhang came home from get off work, she persuaded the man: "You, if you are too timid, you will never achieve anything great. Don't be afraid. Even if that day really comes, I will take the blame myself and say that you didn't know anything, right? Anyway, I was the one who contacted them every time and sent the money. In order to protect our daughter, I will definitely get rid of you."
Director Zhang was helpless and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."
But he still warned, "When you get to college, be sure to keep a low profile. Don't argue with others. When the teacher asks a question, just cower like a turtle and don't raise your hand. And if the teacher really calls on you to ask a question, just... just hold your stomach and pretend to be sick."
This is how Lu Yuan used to treat him. Whenever he questioned something that was unfavorable to her, she would pretend to be pitiful.
Chu Lingyi guessed it, Lu Yuan is really a good teacher, otherwise, with this man's stupid brain, it is impossible for him to come up with such an idea.
The next day she went to visit her in prison. Seeing her arrogant look, Lu Yuan guessed that the cowardly man had been influenced by her.
The thing is not going to work out, and all the thousand dollars will be wasted.
She didn't dare to find someone to report Chu Lingyi. If she implicated the child's father, what would happen to her son? She could only stare at Chu Lingyi and sneer: "I was lucky at the beginning, but you can see what happened to me now."
"I'm different from you. My mother loves me." Chu Lingyi's mother is not patriarchal at all. Instead, she loves her daughter very much. Unlike Lu Yuan's parents, they have cut off relations with Lu Yuan after being implicated.
Lu Yuan sneered, "Really? Well, we'll see. If I leave and you come back, I won't be very merciful if your child falls into my hands."
"What are you thinking? Even if I go to jail, you will be innocent? He will never remarry you! In this life, only your son will call me mom, and my children will never call you mom. Never!" Chu Lingyi said harshly and left.
