Fang's mother was speechless after being rebuked. How could she afford to raise her grandson? She lived on the living expenses that Fang Yanming gave her every month!
"Your father and I didn't have jobs before, but we still managed to raise you all. You can't even support two kids with your salary?" Fang's mother didn't believe it.
"You said it yourself, it was in the past. When my brother and I were kids, we didn't have enough to eat or wear, and we were all ugly. Nowadays, kids are all smart and beautiful. They have to take extracurricular classes from a young age, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan a year for each child. That's called elite education. What you and my dad did was let them grow up freely. If they can survive, they can survive; if they can't, then so be it. How can they be the same?"
"Raising a child doesn't cost that much money, tens of thousands a year. You're raising a golden child, aren't you? As long as the child eats and drinks enough, that's fine. Why bother with extracurricular classes... Spending so much money just makes them someone else's daughter-in-law..."
Fang's mother was astonished. She had raised Fang Yanming and his siblings to their weddings without spending this much money. Nowadays, children aren't called children; they're called gold nuggets.
Moreover, she felt it was unnecessary to spend this money on her daughter; it was like watering someone else's crops with your own fertilizer—a waste of time and energy. It was only because Fang's mother was uneducated that she would have told Fang Yanming something like this—
To do something that benefits someone else.
"Many people who eat and drink little are raising pigs, not children. Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. You and Dad should stay out of the kids' business and stay home peacefully. Don't get involved in anything else."
Fang Yanming was too lazy to waste any more words. His parents were old-fashioned and feudal, and no matter how much he said, he couldn't change their minds. Anyway, they didn't live together, so he let them think what they wanted.
“Then I’ll come and take care of your wife during her postpartum period,” Fang’s mother offered.
Although she didn't like her granddaughter, taking care of her daughter-in-law during her postpartum period was what a mother-in-law should do, and she also wanted to go to the big city for a few days to see the world.
"No need, I've hired a postpartum nanny, you can just enjoy yourself at home."
Fang Yanming flatly refused. Given his mother's poor hygiene standards, he dared not agree, and he didn't want his daughter to suffer the same fate as his mother.
He would send his parents their living expenses every month without fail, but they would not live together. Not only would Mao Fangfei not be able to stand it, but he himself could not adapt. He would pay for it, and his two older brothers would do the work. That was just fine.
Under the meticulous care of the postpartum nanny, the chubby girl changed every day, becoming fair and plump, but her appearance was just like Fang Yanming's, especially her sparse hair and bright little eyes, making it clear that they were father and daughter.
Mao Fangfei didn't want to talk to Fang Yanming for a whole month. She had been pregnant for nine months, but Fang Yanming only lasted ten minutes. Her daughter didn't resemble her at all. That was fine too.
What she's worried about now is how her daughter will find a partner with her looks like that.
It's one thing for a boy to be ugly, but if a girl looks like Fang Yanming, even if she were the emperor's daughter, she'd have trouble finding a husband!
Fang Yanming was overjoyed. He went straight home to coax his daughter after work. He was content with his daughter and didn't want to go out no matter who asked him to. He only wanted to be with his precious daughter and thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. He couldn't understand Mao Fangfei's worries at all.
Time flies, and the little girl is four years old now. She looks completely different from when she was born. Her eyebrows and eyes are starting to resemble Mao Fangfei's. She is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up, which puts Mao Fangfei at ease.
But my niece was becoming increasingly uneasy because Shi Junjie wasn't interested in finding a partner. She hadn't liked any of the girls Shi Junjie introduced her to, and they wouldn't even go to meet them. Every time she called, she would only say one thing—
I don't consider personal matters before I turn thirty.
