Chapter 207 Provocation
Chen Dachun came into the room and asked Jiang Xinran: "Xinran, is that man pursuing you?"
Jiang Xinran said unhappily: "What does it have to do with you!"
"You are my sister-in-law. As your sister-in-law, of course I care about your life. You are 35 years old. When I was your age, I had already given birth to two children."
Chen Dachun could not read, but Jiang's mother could recognize the words on the test report.
Her daughter had no partner yet, and the test report showed that she was already three months pregnant.
Jiang's mother called her into the room, pointed at the test report and asked, "Xinran, what's going on? Did you ask someone to make this report to deceive that man?"
Jiang Xinran perfunctorily said, "Yes, it's fake. I wanted to cheat some money, but I didn't."
Jiang's mother was relieved to hear her daughter say this.
If her daughter really got pregnant before marriage, the Jiang family would lose face.
The neighbors asked Jiang's mother who in her family was pregnant. Jiang's mother said that no one was pregnant and everyone had heard it wrong.
Whether it was pregnancy or cheating money, it was not a good thing to hear, and Jiang's mother didn't want anyone to know.
Jiang Haoran came back and was asked by the neighbors whether Chen Dachun was pregnant.
He had not touched Chen Dachun since he returned to the city. How could she be pregnant? She just said no.
As soon as he entered the room, he blamed Chen Dachun: "Are you idle every day? Didn't you get the goods? Go out and sell cakes, don't gossip with the neighbors all day long."
Chen Dachun felt very aggrieved: "When did I gossip? I have four children to take care of and so many things to do at home. How can I have free time? I am not as lucky as Xinran, who has a man to drive her home." "
What man? "
"The car he drives is the same as Deputy Director Shen's car." Chen Dachun can't read and can't remember the license plate number.
...
At night, when everyone was asleep, someone quietly pushed open Jiang Xinran's door.
"Brother, is that you?" Jiang Xinran was also awake.
"Who is the man who sent you back today?" Jiang Haoran asked.
"Brother, is that all you care about? I was hit by someone, and you didn't worry."
Jiang Haoran turned on the light and checked his sister's body: "Where did you get hit? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No."
Jiang Haoran looked at her arms and legs, and was relieved to find that they were not injured. He told her to have a good sleep and prepared to go back.
"Brother, I'm pregnant."
"What?" Jiang Haoran was very surprised.
"When I went to the hospital for a check-up today, the doctor said that I was three months pregnant." Jiang Xinran took out the test report and showed it to Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran was stunned.
"Brother, what should we do now? I can't hide my pregnancy anymore. When are you going to get rid of that woman?"
Jiang Haoran paced back and forth in the room: "Chen Dachun is like a plaster, you can't tear it off."
"Then do you still want this child?"
Jiang Haoran stopped and said, "Of course I do. This is my child."
"Then, how should I tell Mom?"
"I'm worried that Mom will not agree to you giving birth to the child for the sake of her reputation."
Jiang Xinran covered her face and cried softly.
Jiang Haoran went forward and hugged Jiang Xinran: "It's all my fault. When I went to the countryside, I was plotted against and had to marry that bastard."
Jiang Xinran looked up and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, divorce her and I will marry you."
"You think I don't want to divorce? It's not easy. Besides, we are brother and sister. Even if we divorce, we can't get married. We will be criticized by others."
"We are not biological brother and sister, why should we care about other people's opinions?"
After a long time, Jiang Haoran took Jiang Xinran's hand and asked: "I have a way to have the best of both worlds. Taotao can give birth to a child, and our family of three can live together."
"What method?"
"You quit your job, rent a house outside, give birth to the child, and I will bring the child back. Tell the outside world that you adopted the child. I will give you everything except the legal status."
Jiang Xinran had no other choice. If he wanted to keep the child, this was the only way.
"Brother, if I quit my job, how will I live?"
"I will give you half of my salary."
"Then what will you do? You still have four children to raise."
"Taotao, don't worry about these. The wife is going to set up a stall to do business. I heard that setting up a stall makes a lot of money. I will let her work hard to make money to raise our children."
...
Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.
Shen Jiale, who exposed this matter, would not let him do what he wanted.
When Shen Jiale came to Chen Dachun's stall, she was weighing out biscuits for the customers.
Seeing that it was Shen Jiale, she quickly gave up her stool to Shen Jiale and said, "Deputy Director Shen, please sit down first."
In a short while, Chen Dachun sold 5 kilograms of biscuits.
Shen Jiale said, "Business is pretty good."
Chen Dachun said happily, "Yes, today's business is better than yesterday's. In this way, I will make more than Haoran in a month. Last night, Haoran even praised me."
Shen Jiale asked, "Dachun, how old are you?"
Chen Dachun laughed and said, "I am the same age as you, 25 years old."
Shen Jiale was surprised and said, "So you are only 25 years old. I thought you..."
Chen Dachun said dejectedly, "Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating. We are the same age and have four children, but you look ten years younger than me."
"That's because you used to do a lot of farm work at home, exposed to the wind and sun. If you stay at home, your skin will be good. If you have good skin, you will look younger. If you set up a stall outside in the future, your skin will be in worse condition."
"That can't be helped. If you want to make money, you can't care about so many things."
"You set up a stall outside. After a long time, you will make money, but you will be old and ugly. On the other hand, Jiang Haoran works in a factory and doesn't have to work in the wind and rain. By then, there will be a gap between you two."
"Then what should I do?"
"Didn't you say that you can make money by setting up a stall? The salary is more than Jiang Haoran's. Why don't you let him set up a stall with you?"
"His job is so respectable. He won't come out with me to show off."
"But you can make a lot of money. If you make it bigger and stronger, you can become big bosses. It's much more prestigious than working at a job. Then, you can just be the boss's wife at home and wait to count the money."
Chen Dachun was tempted after hearing this.
Shen Jiale struck while the iron was hot: "Don't wait until you earn a fortune, grow old and lose your looks, and Jiang Haoran takes your money and spends it on other young women."
Chen Dachun slapped his thigh: "He dares!"
"This is his territory, not Yaoshui Village. Will he still listen to you when you come to Jiang's house?"
Chen Dachun thought of what happened after she and her children came to Jiang's house.
Jiang's family looked down on her because she was born in the countryside, and they also disliked the children.
Shen Jiale went on to say, "You said your sister-in-law hasn't married yet, but she is already three months pregnant. She was hit by someone, and I personally took her to the hospital for a check-up.
Has your family discussed whether to give birth to the child? If she does, who will raise the child so that people won't gossip about her?"
Chen Dachun was shocked: "She is not married, who did she have the child with?"
Shen Jiale shook his head: "You have to ask your sister-in-law."
"I've seen that this girl is not a good person. She actually did such a shameful thing."
"It seems that you have to work hard to make money. If she gives birth to a child, she won't be able to work, and you will have to support two more people."
Chen Dachun spit: "It's not my child, why should I raise it? The money I earn is only for my children!"
"But Jiang Haoran will give his money to his sister."
"Will he dare?"
"Wait until he gets his salary, and you will know."
