Chapter 120 Chapter 120 A Small Favor
Ning Shaode hesitated for a long time, but finally, under Ye Jing's urging, he took the initiative to find Ning Shaoming and said, "Third brother, come over here with me. I have something to tell you."
Ning Shaoming thought he was going to talk about taking his mother to see a doctor and found it a bit strange. Why did he say this behind people's backs?
But Ning Shaoming thought it was good that he was willing to discuss the matter, so he walked with him into the grove next to his home.
"What do you want to say?" Ning Shaoming didn't want to see his hesitant look anymore, so he just asked directly.
With only the two brothers around, Ning Shaode relaxed a little: "This matter is neither difficult nor not difficult. It just depends on whether you are willing to help me."
Ning Shaoming looked at him and signaled him to stop talking nonsense and get to the point.
Ning Shaode continued, "Your second sister-in-law is pregnant. We asked someone to check and found out that she is pregnant with a son. But you know our jobs are government jobs. If we are found to have a second child, we will both lose our jobs.
So I was thinking, after the child is born, can we register the child under your household registration? We will pay the fine for having more than one child ourselves. The child may have to be raised by you for one or two years after birth. We will definitely give you living expenses and a hard work fee. ”
"I can't help you with this." Ning Shaoming refused without even thinking.
"Why? It's not that we don't want to compensate you." Ning Shaode didn't expect him to refuse so bluntly, and asked angrily, "You are not willing to help with such a small favor? We are brothers, and I am your biological brother. How can you bear to watch me die without a son?
Or do you think that you are doing business now and making some money, and I am jealous, and you are afraid that I will not move your child’s household registration out in the future and take your property?
I can tell you with certainty that you can rest assured about this matter. Even though your second sister-in-law and I don’t have a high income now, we have found ways to make extra money. Even if our income in the future cannot compare to yours, it will not be bad either, and we won’t have to worry about our brothers’ money! ”
Ning Shaoming wanted to sneer after hearing this. What did he mean by having to watch him die without an offspring? It wasn't his fault.
If it were in the past, Ning Shaoming might not have thought this matter was difficult at all.
But after buying the house in the demolition area, Zhao Ruyue and her two children transferred their household registration there. Not long after, people with household registration in the demolition area were not allowed to move in.
This made Ning Shaoming realize the importance of household registration.
After the household registration is moved, no matter what they agree privately or what agreement they sign, the household registration will state that the child is his child. The law only recognizes the household registration and does not care about any agreement you have.
What if something happens to him and his wife, can his second brother and sister-in-law trust them?
Even though this might not necessarily happen, why would he take this unnecessary risk and lay a landmine for his own child just to help others?
Ning Shaoming asked: "You said that the child will be raised in my home for the first one or two years after birth. Who will take care of him? Will you hire a nanny to come to my home to take care of him?"
Ning Shaode blurted out subconsciously: "Of course, let our mother help take care of it. Mom knows that I have a son and she will definitely be willing to help. Besides, isn't my second brother's wife's store usually not too busy? She can take some time off to take care of it with mom. Your second sister-in-law can also come back to take care of it when she is off school or on vacation."
Hearing what he said, Ning Shaoming laughed angrily.
What a person! He actually wants his wife to be a nanny for his son.
You say you want mom to help take care of me, but don’t you see how old she is? She’s sick now, so who would dare to ask her to take care of me?
In the end, doesn't the job of taking care of the children still fall on you and your spouse?
Ning Shaoming asked him back: "Why don't you go find your sister-in-law? She's more free and in need of money. If you're willing to give her some money and some living expenses, she might really be willing to help you."
Ning Shaode was stumped by his question.
Why don’t you go find your sister-in-law? It's because he looks down on his eldest sister-in-law's family, thinking that their conditions are not good and that the third brother's family has better living conditions.
Although the third brother's family lives in the countryside, they have everything they need, they eat well, and their two children are well educated.
The third brother is so good to his eldest nephew and niece. His own son is also his nephew, so he can’t favor one over the other, right?
Ning Shaode avoided Ning Shaoming's question and said in a deep voice, "Are you really unwilling to help with this?"
When Ning Shaoming looked at Ning Shaode now, he felt that he was simply a human cuckoo.
"Yes, I can tell you very clearly that I don't want to, and I think you are mentally ill. You actually want mom to help you take care of the baby. Don't you know that the first one or two years after a child is born is the most stressful and difficult time for adults?
Don’t you know what’s going on with Mom now? Even if you are blind and can't see it, my elder sister should have told you, right? ”
Ning Shaoming was unwilling to help, and Ning Shaode's attitude became even worse.
He said impatiently: "My elder sister did tell me, but who knows if what she said is true? My elder sister likes to exaggerate when she speaks."
"What you mean by this is that you don't want to take Mom to the hospital for treatment?"
Ning Shaode was silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Ning Shaoming thought that he still had some conscience, and that he had a change of heart and was struggling with it.
Unexpectedly, he didn't speak for a long time, and when he spoke, he said something even more disgusting: "If you are willing to help me, I can consider it and agree to let Mom go to the hospital with you."
Ning Shaoming thought he was really crazy: "Did you think about it before you said that? Or is your brain full of water? Think about it yourself, is what you just said human language?"
Seeing Ning Shaoming so excited, Ning Shaode felt that he had grasped his weakness: "Anyway, my conditions are here, and Mom will definitely listen to me more. You can decide for yourself."
"Fuck you!" Ning Shaoming couldn't help it and punched him.
Ning Shaode subconsciously wanted to fight back, but he had exercised less since he started working, and his classes were usually taken up by the regular teachers. How could he compare to Ning Shaoming, who was stirring the wok and kneading dough every day.
For a moment, Ning Shaode was beaten so badly that he couldn't even get up. It was only after Zhao Ruyue, who had been paying attention to this side, ran over and stopped him that Ning Shaoming stopped.
"What's going on? Why did you hit someone?" Ye Jing also ran over, helped Ning Shaode up, and questioned angrily.
Ning Shaoming said coldly: "Of course he deserved to be beaten, and I thought I didn't beat him lightly just now!"
"This is your own brother, and you actually dared to attack him, and act so confidently. Don't think that we won't call the police just because we ask you for something!"
Ning Shaoming sneered and said, "Then go call the police now. I can lend you my phone and my PHS to call the police. I want to see who will be punished more severely after calling the police!"
"You..." Ye Jing touched her belly subconsciously, and didn't dare to call the police. "We are brothers after all, don't be so ruthless. You may need our help in the future!"
"It's still unclear whether we can continue to be brothers in the future!" Ning Shaoming pointed at the intersection, "You two, get out of here now!"
It's not uncommon for brothers and sisters in a family to fall out and stop communicating with each other. So what if you fall out with them?
Seeing his gloomy face, Ye Jing didn't dare to provoke him, for fear that he would attack her again, so she quickly supported Ning Shaode and walked away.
After walking a few steps, she remembered something and stopped to ask, "It's fine if you don't help us with the matter we asked you for, but considering that it's a life, you shouldn't tell anyone about it, right?"
Ning Shaoming remembered that Ning Shaode had threatened him with his mother's illness and asked him to help. He used his own way to deal with him and said back, "That depends on whether my second brother is willing to cooperate. If he doesn't agree to take my mother to see a doctor and is unwilling to contribute money and effort, I can't guarantee that I can pretend that I know nothing."
Ning Shaode gritted his teeth and glared at him hatefully.
Ye Jing quickly pulled Ning Shaode's arm and asked him to express his opinion quickly.
Ning Shaode had no choice. He was already in his thirties. If the people from the family planning office found out that his wife was pregnant and took her to have an abortion, he might never have a son in his life. After all, he had never thought about divorce.
"I will persuade Mom to go to the hospital for a checkup when I get back. We will split the cost of the treatment among the four of us."
After hearing this, Ning Shaoming looked at him with strange eyes. How could this person be so shameless?
Ning Shaode felt uncomfortable being looked at by him: "I have already agreed, what else do you want?"
"Four families? Which four families? Do you mean that eldest brother's family also has to pay money in their current situation? When the family was divided, eldest sister didn't get an acre of land, a penny, or a brick.
When the family conditions were not so good in the past, my eldest sister often helped her parents' home after she got married. She has contributed so much to the family, and now she is also required to share the responsibility of caring for the elderly? My elder sister has helped you a lot in the past. Do you have a conscience?
If you insist on doing this, then I have to talk to my parents and the witnesses at the time and give my eldest sister a share when the property is divided again. ”
Ning Shaode was so depressed by what he said that he couldn't even raise his head. Looking at Ning Shaoming like this, he thought: The third brother is so crazy that he might actually do something like going to someone to discuss dividing the family again.
But Ning Shaode still insisted: "Eldest sister didn't get a share of the family property, so she can refuse to bear the responsibility, but why shouldn't eldest brother's family bear the responsibility? Just because he was arrested? Just because his family is not doing well now? Whose family is doing well? Didn't his family get anything?"
Ning Shaoming said, "Why? Just because you two don't go back to your hometown to visit your parents a few times a year, and because my wife and I are busy with business and can't always look after our parents, my eldest sister-in-law lives close to my parents, and she helps them with whatever they need. She says we are the ones who take care of them in their old age, but in fact, it is my eldest sister-in-law who has been taking care of my parents!"
Even though Wang Haiyan has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law now and she curses at her all day long and has a sharp tongue, she is a smart person and will really help the old couple if they have any problems.
She is a person who is not kind to others because of her words and never gets any favors from others even when doing her work.
Every time Zhao Ruyue thought about what Wang Haiyan did while she and her husband were away working, she still felt uncomfortable.
But she also admitted that it was Wang Haiyan who was taking care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Before Ning Shaoming and he opened their store in the county town and business was not so busy, the old couple could still look for them when they had something to do.
Later, they were also busy, so the old couple had no choice but to look for their eldest son's daughter-in-law.
Wang Haiyan did not have much money, but the old man did not need much money in his daily life unless there were any unexpected events.
It’s just that they are old and can’t do some things. When they need help, they can only find the one closest to them.
So Wang Haiyan has actually helped Ning Shaoxian fulfill his pension obligations.
We can't just pretend that the things she did don't exist because they can't be measured with money.
"Then what do you want?" Ning Shaode asked, suppressing his anger.
Ning Shaoming said, "As for the financial support, our two families will share it equally. As for the labor, you will be responsible for persuading her and I will be responsible for taking her there."
Ning Shaode didn't want to agree, but he had no choice. He had handed the handle to the third brother today: "Okay, but I have to see the invoice before I pay."
In other words, if Ning Shaoming does not issue an invoice for expenses such as travel expenses and meals along the way, he will not acknowledge or share the cost.
Ning Shaoming felt that it was pointless to continue arguing with someone like him, and he didn't want to say more to Ning Shaode: "That's it, you'd better persuade Mom to agree to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, and don't think about delaying time."
After saying that, he pulled Zhao Ruyue back to the house.
Ning Shaode and his wife were afraid of being embarrassed, so they did not leave the grove immediately. They waited until it was completely dark before they called Ning Danjie to leave.
The children were unaware of the conflicts between the adults. Ning Danjie was having a great time with Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia and didn’t want to go home.
When she heard her mother calling her, she ran over and asked coquettishly, "Mom, can I stay at Uncle San's house today and sleep with Xiao Xia?"
Seeing that she was having so much fun playing with Ning Shaoming's child with a smile on her face, Ye Jing couldn't help but get angry.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and slap her in the face: "Play, play, play, all you know is playing! Running around in the countryside like a wild girl, what future can you have! We probably won't be able to rely on you at all in the future!"
Ning Danjie was stunned for a moment, and only started crying after she came to her senses.
She felt very aggrieved and didn't know what she had done wrong to be beaten.
When Mingming came back from the county town, her parents taught her to combine work and rest, to play as much as she could during holidays and to study hard when school started.
How come it changed in such a short time?
Why are adults always so fickle?
After Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue returned to the house, he told her what Ning Shaode had talked to him about.
Zhao Ruyue was stunned. "Since the gender can be found, my second sister-in-law must have been pregnant for several months, right? No wonder she is so thin this winter. She is still wearing the clothes she wore when she was fat last year. I can't tell that she is pregnant at all."
Whenever she returned to her hometown in previous years, Ye Jing would always buy a few sets of clothes for herself and her daughter, and would secretly show off where she bought the clothes and how much they cost.
She didn't come back wearing new clothes this year. Zhao Ruyue thought that the couple wanted to save money to buy a house and were reluctant to spend money. Plus, her mother-in-law was upset with them last time and didn't subsidize them as much, and she didn't have that much money to subsidize them, so she didn't buy them new clothes.
I didn't expect it was to cover up the pregnancy...
"My second sister-in-law always said that daughters are no worse than sons. I thought she really thought there was nothing wrong with having only one daughter." Zhao Ruyue thought about how she felt ashamed when she heard Ye Jing say these things, and felt that her ideological realm was not as high as hers.
After all, Zhao Ruyue herself did favor boys over girls in the past. In her previous life, she did some things to suck her daughter's blood and support her son without realizing the problem.
She also arrogantly thought that she loved her daughter, and thought that compared with some other parents, she was already very good to her daughter.
Fortunately, her son and daughter have a good relationship, and both children are smart and independent-minded. She did not succeed, but her behavior also hurt her daughter's heart.
Later, after she posted many articles online and was scolded by netizens, she realized her problem.
After Zhao Ruyue was shocked, she calmed down, thought about it carefully, and felt that there was something wrong with this matter: "In fact, I also think that what you said about asking my sister-in-law for help makes sense.
As for my sister-in-law, Xiaochun and Danping are both grown up, and with your help, my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much about them. Her daily work is farming and growing vegetables.
If someone is willing to pay my sister-in-law a suitable salary and let her take care of the children, she would definitely be happy to lease the land to others and earn the money.
But your two children and mine are still young and there are many things that need to be taken care of. We also have business to take care of. In comparison, it is definitely the eldest sister-in-law who has more free time. It is such an obvious situation, don’t my second brother and his wife really know it? ”
Ning Shaoming: "You mean... they have other purposes?"
Zhao Ruyue was not sure either, and only said: "I just have this guess, maybe they know that our store in the county town is not rented, but bought, so they want to lay a mine and take advantage of it.
If it works, they will kill three birds with one stone. If it doesn't work, it will be killing two birds with one stone. Not only will they have a son, but they can also keep their jobs. No matter how you look at it, they will not suffer any loss. ”
On the other hand, after Ning Shaode and Ye Jing returned home, the more they thought about it, the more aggrieved they felt.
"What did you tell your third brother? Why did you make things like this?"
Ning Shaode touched the corner of his eye that was bruised from being beaten, not wanting to recall the scene again: "What's the point of asking these questions now? Things have already happened, so think carefully about what to do next!"
Ye Jing was very worried: "Your third brother and his wife know about this, and now we have a fight with them. What if he doesn't keep his word and reports us?"
"Probably not. What good would it do him to report us?"
"If there is no benefit, people won't do it? Even if there is no benefit, there are many people who report others just because they don't like them! And why is there no benefit for him to report?
Think about it, who does your mother favor the most in your generation? Who will our daughter's generation favor?
I don't believe that he is not worried that if we give birth to a son, it will affect his status in your mother's heart! ”
"Now that they all know, what else can we do?"
Ye Jing didn't know what to do. Could they kill people to silence them?
"I can only hope that they really won't tell anyone. Tomorrow you should hurry up and persuade your mother, and go see a doctor with your third brother."
Ning Shaode, who had never suffered a loss, was very unhappy: "It's okay to suffer a loss, but I still have to pay..."
Ye Jing felt very upset when she thought about this. Asking her to pay was like cutting her flesh. She thought that if she could avoid paying, it would be better to let Ning Lao San's family bleed a little.
As she thought about it, she came up with an idea: "How about we take your mother to the hospital for a checkup?"
Ning Shaode snorted while lying on the bed and said, "Not so good. Do you think it's easy to take her to the hospital for a checkup? It costs a lot of money to go back and forth, and to eat in the city, which costs another amount of money. The fare is not bad. If you take the bus or coach, you can use the ticket as a voucher and share it with the third brother when you come back.
But it's difficult to get invoices for meals and drinks. Meals are not cheap in places where invoices can be issued. Even if you get an invoice from such a place, it's not cost-effective to split the cost with the third child. In short, it's a loss no matter how you calculate it. You only need to talk to persuade my mother to see a doctor. Which one is more cost-effective? Can't you calculate it yourself? ”
"How can I not calculate? Have you forgotten the relative from my mother's side who helped us check the gender? We can take Mom to the hospital where that relative works and ask him to help. One hundred yuan can be written as five hundred! When we come back, we can split the bill with your third brother..."
Ning Shaode sat up immediately after hearing this. The more he thought about it, the better he felt about this idea: "This way we can make a lot of money and let him act arrogant in front of me, his brother!"
"Just think of it as paying for our medical expenses after he beat you up!"
Ning Shaode said excitedly: "That's right, I will... No, I can't go out tomorrow in this state. You can go and tell him tomorrow. You are pregnant, he won't dare to do anything to you."
"I'll go back to my parents' house first, call that relative and ask him if he can help with this."
Ning Shaode warned her: "Don't let your parents hear about this. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
"You don't even need to tell me. I'll take Danjie with me and let her take my parents out to play." Ye Jing said as she walked out of the room, opened the door of her daughter's room and called out, "Danjie, come out. I have something to talk to you about."
Ning Danjie couldn't help but tremble when her name was called, and walked out of the room cautiously.
Ye Jing explained everything to her and then took her to her parents' home.
While everyone in the family was out, she quickly called the relative, and the other party agreed without much hesitation, as if he had done this many times.
After the two of them communicated, Ye Jing hung up the phone and took Ning Danjie away from her parents' home as if nothing had happened.
On the way back to the old house, when they were halfway there, Ye Jing thought that instead of going to find Ning Shaoming tomorrow, they might as well go now.
She asked Ning Danjie to go home: "Go back and tell your dad that I'm going to your third uncle's house and will be back later."
When Ye Jing came to Ning Shaoming's house again, Ning Shaoming was in the kitchen making delicious food for his children.
Zhao Ruyue heard a knock on the door, opened it and saw that it was her, and was a little surprised: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here at this time?"
You just had a fight and now you come here alone? Is there some conspiracy?
Some scenes on TV where people used their pregnancy to frame others flashed through Zhao Ruyue’s mind.
Seeing that Zhao Ruyue had no intention of letting her in, Ye Jing didn't care: "I came here to discuss with you about Mom's medical treatment."
Zhao Ruyue asked: "Isn't this already agreed upon?"
"It's agreed, but it can be changed, right? We discussed it after we went back. We are worried about you taking mom with you. After all, you two are not well educated. Can you understand the results of the examination? Can you understand the doctor's explanation of the cause of the disease?"
At this time, Ye Jing was so focused on her own perfect plan that she completely forgot that there were more doctors and nurses in Zhao Ruyue's family.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help rolling her eyes: "We just don't have high education, we are not stupid."
"Okay, but you have to admit that Mom listens to Danjie's father more, so it's more appropriate for us to take her there. Otherwise, if Mom doesn't want to go to the hospital for a checkup, you won't be able to persuade her, right?"
Zhao Ruyue had no idea what they were up to, but she had to admit that what she said made some sense. The old lady was difficult to deal with, let alone when she was sick.
When they took the old lady to see a doctor, they couldn't take Xiaoqiu with her, as that would be too much trouble for the child.
But she couldn't decide on her own: "We need to discuss it."
"Okay then. I'll wait here. Come out and talk after you've discussed it."
Zhao Ruyue walked into the kitchen and told Ning Shaoming about Ye Jing's visit.
Ning Shaoming wiped his sweat, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let them take it. I want to see what tricks they come up with."
