Chapter 199: Both Sides
Have No Hope Zhao Meili and Fang Chuanshui have no chance to reconcile, and Zhao's mother asked her to go find Yao Chenggong again.
"If I knew at the beginning that you wanted to reconcile with the Fang guy, I would definitely not agree.
Even if he was admitted to university, he is just a student and does not have much money. He is not comparable to Yao Chenggong at all."
"Mom, Fang Chuanshui and I still have a son. If I stay with Yao Chenggong, I can only raise children for others."
"Now the child is not close to you, what will you do?"
"I will find another opportunity to see the child. Even if I can't remarry, I can't let my son call someone else mother."
"Then will you go find Yao Chenggong again?"
"Go."
...
Zhao Meili thinks it is not difficult to coax a child. Play with him more, buy him food, buy him gifts, and he will soon gain his trust.
Fang Chuanshui allowed Zhao Meili to visit the child every week, but did not allow her to say in front of the child that she was his biological mother.
It was not that the child was not allowed to recognize her, but it was for the child's healthy growth.
When the child is 85 years old, he will tell him the truth.
During the time when Zhao Meili left, Fang Xuedong cried every day and missed
his mother. He became depressed all day long at a young age. With the care of his family, it took a long time for him to get better. Fang Xuedong has now determined that Guan Xiuhua is his mother. If another mother suddenly appears, he will be confused when he is young.
When he is older, he will compare the two mothers and get close to whoever treats him better.
No matter who he gets close to, it will hurt the other mother's heart.
Fang Chuanshui said that the child needed to grow up in a normal family. If Zhao Meili did not cooperate, she could take the child away and he would pay for her living expenses.
Zhao Meili was still preparing to get married, so how could she bring a child with her? She could only agree to Fang Chuanshui and call herself an aunt to visit Fang Xuedong.
Guan Xiuhua was still a little worried that Zhao Meili would agree verbally but would tell the child behind her back that she was the mother.
Fang Chuanshui said, "She is not stupid. She wants to recognize the child, but just wants to remarry me. Now that we are married, remarriage is impossible, so she will look for a new target.
At first, she may come to see the child often. Once she finds her target, the child will become a demerit for her, and she will not set obstacles for herself."
Guan Xiuhua said, "If it really doesn't work, I will take Xuedong back to my hometown. You know, I can't have children, so I will definitely treat Xuedong as my own child.
"We are husband and wife now, so we should live together. Medical technology is well developed in big cities, and we can definitely cure your infertility." Guan Xiuhua leaned shyly into Fang Chuanshui's arms: "If you don't dislike me ,
I'm already very satisfied. How can I be greedy to have another child? Xuedong is enough." Fang Chuanshui
lowered his head and kissed Guan Xiuhua. Fang Xuedong, who was playing outside the door, came in and saw it, squeezed in between the two of them, and also wanted a kiss.
The couple kissed Fang Xuedong on both sides of his cheeks at the same time, and Fang Xuedong also kissed his father and mother respectively, and then ran out to play with satisfaction.
...
After work, Zhao Meili found Yao Chenggong.
Yao Chenggong asked her what was the matter. Since the divorce, Zhao Meili had not appeared in front of him on her own initiative. Yao Chenggong felt that this woman was less troublesome.
Zhao Meili said that it was nothing, just asking him how he was doing recently.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yao Chenggong hurried back.
Zhao Meili joked, "Why are you in such a hurry? If you don't know, you'd think you were going back to report to your wife."
Yao Chenggong looked at her in surprise, "I just got married yesterday, and I didn't invite anyone. How come you found out so soon?"
Zhao Meili's smile disappeared instantly when she heard this, but she still forced a smile, "You're married, congratulations, I'm happy to see you start a new life."
"Thank you, my wife is young and a little clingy. She gets upset when she can't see me for a while, so I have to go home quickly."
"Don't the children reject her?"
"The children are quite sensible and can accept my remarriage. They live with my mother now."
Zhao Meili sighed: "I really envy your wife. I am a woman without luck."
Zhao Meili wanted to reminisce about the old times with Yao Chenggong, but Yao Chenggong was anxious to go home to accompany his young wife and didn't want to waste time with her here, so he left without saying a few words.
Zhao Meili was left unwillingly.
After all the calculations, in the end, both sides were empty-handed and nothing was obtained.
...
Fang Chuanshui rented a house very close to the Lu family. On weekends, he brought his wife and bought gifts to visit the Lu family.
Liang Qiaoli liked Guan Xiuhua's personality very much. Fang Xuedong was arranged to go to elementary school, so Guan Xiuhua had nothing to do. Liang Qiaoli asked Guan Xiuhua to go shopping for vegetables together every day.
After staying at home alone for a few days, Guan Xiuhua felt a little bored with nothing to do, so she discussed with Fang Chuanshui to go out and find a job.
Shen Jiale gave her a suggestion, why not open a small shop, so that she can earn some living expenses and take care of the children.
Guan Xiuhua thought it was a good idea, and Fang Chuanshui also supported it, so she took out money to rent a storefront.
Seeing that Guan Xiuhua's small shop was doing well, Lu Yongfu discussed with Liang Qiaoli that he also wanted to open one.
The old couple came to Beijing, and Lu Yongfu wanted to find a job to make some money.
But it was not easy for someone as old as him to find a job. Even if there was, it was the kind of dirty and tiring work, and Lu Mingfeng and Shen Jiale would not let him do it.
So Lu Yongfu's daily job was to pick up and drop off Lu Changyan and Lu Changxiao.
Lu Mingfeng discussed with Shen Jiale and felt that opening a small store was boring. He would just buy goods from the south and sell them everywhere. It would be better to rent a larger store and sell small appliances.
Small appliances are valuable things and require a lot of capital. Lu Yongfu was very tempted, but he was worried that he would lose money if he failed to manage the business well at his age, so he hesitated to agree.
Shen Jiale said, "Why not ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law for their opinions and see if they are willing to come to Beijing to do business."
When Zhou Min called Yaoshui Village, she heard that her family was asked to go to Beijing to do business, and she agreed without hesitation.
When he got home and told Lu Mingqi about it, Lu Mingqi said, "Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me?"
Zhou Min rolled his eyes at him, "The opportunity is right in front of you, what are you still thinking about? Could it be that your second brother could lie to you?"
Lu Mingqi chuckled, "Of course not."
"Then pack up quickly and go to the school tomorrow to arrange for Chang Guo to transfer." "Are
you going to take the children with you?"
"Of course, we make money for the children, otherwise why would we work so hard?"
"I thought you would leave the children at grandma's house."
"Even if I give mother money to help us take care of the children, the money may not be spent on our children. It's better to take them to Beijing. Mom and Dad really love them."
When the villagers learned that Lu Mingqi's family was going to Beijing, they were all envious.
After hearing the news, Gao Chunzhi brought her mother-in-law to Zhou Min and said flatteringly, "Sister, you are rich now, so you should also bring your brother along. Take us with you. You can eat meat and we can just drink some soup."
Zhou Min glanced at her sister-in-law and said, "If you are filial to your parents, I can give you some money during the holidays. If you make me angry, I won't give you a penny!"
Zhou Min was very filial to her parents on weekdays, and the couple also took advantage of her. Gao Chunzhi was really afraid of angering her sister-in-law and getting nothing, so she had
to go back in disgrace. Zhou's mother looked at her daughter awkwardly and went back without saying anything.
After everyone left, Lu Mingqi said, "Xiao Min, it's a bit offensive to say that. You should tell her that we are also going to Mingfeng, so it's not good to bring others."
Zhou Min said, "Didn't you see that she brought her mother with her? No matter how I try to persuade her, if she doesn't bring them, she will be offended in the end. It's better to refuse from the beginning and let her give up completely."
Lu Mingqi nodded. Although the daughter-in-law has a tough attitude towards her parents' family, it works very well.
