Chapter 97 Li Lan's Secret
"My mother-in-law is a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak. She got scared when she saw me getting serious. She was worried that if we really got divorced, Dahai would be angry with them and have a falling out with them, so she hid away and kept silent.
My sister-in-law is also smart. She used to take her anger out on me, but when she saw me explode, she started to admit her mistakes, apologize and cry. I used to be easy to talk to, but this time she refused to compromise. Anyway, I said that she wanted to build a house as big as the one she built for the eldest son. If she didn't build it, we would split up. I don't care about the life and death of the old couple in the future, or we would get divorced.
How could your brother-in-law agree to a divorce? He immediately followed my instructions and went to find his parents. I have been married to him for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen him so tough. My parents-in-law cried and called all three brothers over to discuss the matter. "
Lin Qin's curiosity was aroused. "Then what? What was the result of the discussion?"
Lin Ying smiled proudly and said, "Of course he agreed with my opinion! Dahai's elder brother got a great advantage, what can he say? If I persuade Dahai to give the money to the third room for emergency, I will get a divorce, and I have to get a divorce. Do you think Dahai's elder brother can be persuaded?"
The only thing he could do was to take out money and support us in building the house. You don’t know how angry Dahai’s wife was. I heard that the couple even had a fight that night.
I feel happy when I hear this!"
After Lin Ying finished speaking, she looked around the room, feeling extremely envious. "Although they gave money, it's still not as much as the big house. Before I came to your house, I was thinking of building three tiled houses, one main room, and two bedrooms, one for us and one for the two children, which is almost enough.
After seeing your magnificent house, I feel so proud now! I always feel that three tiled houses are not enough. The boss built five large tiled houses! "
As soon as Lin Qin heard it, she knew that Lin Ying was still upset about the different treatment from her in-laws.
"Sister, at least you have received the money to build three tiled houses. Since you don't want to serve your parents-in-law in the future, just bear with this loss for now. You can use this as an excuse when you need to provide for them in their old age. People say that suffering a loss is a blessing, so don't be angry.
If you want to build a big house, I can lend you some money. You can pay me back when you have more money. "
Lin Ying teased, "Oh! You are rich now! You are so arrogant! I tell you, men are not honest when they have money, especially you and Wenjun are a couple who got married later in life. If you want a stable relationship, the best way is to have another child as soon as possible.
With your two children, this family is complete!"
Lin Qin held her forehead helplessly, "How come you are just like Dad! We just got married last year, and since then we have been busy building a house. During this period, we also owed a lot of foreign debts. It can be said that we did nothing last year except making money.
The house has finally been built and the foreign debt has been paid off. We have to give it some time! I will let the child's affairs take their own course. I am not in a hurry."
Lin Ying also knew that what Lin Qin said was true, so she didn't say anything else.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The two of them didn't say anything else. Lin Qin opened the door and looked at Li Lan in surprise.
"Cousin! What's wrong? Is there something missing in the room?"
Li Lan quickly shook her head, and after a moment of hesitation, she whispered, "Can I ask my cousin something?"
Lin Qin nodded and let Li Lan in.
As a result, Li Lan sat down and looked like she didn't know how to start the conversation.
The two sisters waited patiently for her to organize her words.
After a while, Li Lan mustered up the courage to look at Lin Ying, "Cousin, I want to ask, how much is the fine for having more children than allowed in your area?"
The two sisters subconsciously looked at Li Lan's belly.
Lin Ying remembered that Li Lan was seasick and retching just now, and asked worriedly: "Are you pregnant?"
Li Lan remained silent but did not deny it.
Lin Ying and Lin Qin looked at each other and continued to ask, "How many children do you and Fugen have?"
"One! It's a girl." Li Lan's voice was very low. Fortunately, the room was quiet and the two sisters could hear it clearly.
Lin Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "One is not a big deal. In our rural areas, the first-born girl can have a second child. What are you worried about?"
Li Lan's eyes immediately turned red. "I'm worried that the baby in my belly is still a girl. My parents-in-law are dreaming of having a grandson. They said that they only have one son and the family line cannot be cut off. My first child is a girl, and they have been nagging me to have a second child since the child was born.
Now that I'm pregnant with my second child, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill their wishes. If it's a girl, I'll definitely have to have another one. I just want to know how much the fine will be."
In fact, you can find out the truth about this kind of thing by asking the villagers, but the village is not short of gossipy women. As long as you give them a start, they will start to make up stories and keep staring at her belly. If she gave birth to a son, it would be fine, but if not, the couple would definitely be arrested and sterilized.
Li Lan didn't dare to say anything, not even to let the villagers know that she was pregnant.
Lin Ying had also seen the situation of the third branch of the Xu family, so she could understand Li Lan's dilemma and said to her honestly, "Five hundred. The first time you have an extra child, you will be fined five hundred. The second time, it will be doubled, or even tripled. It depends on the situation of each village.
But I heard that the more remote the place, the stricter the crackdown and the heavier the fine.”
Li Lan's face turned pale with fright and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Qin didn't know what to say about this matter, so she just said, "Talk to Fugen. You don't look pregnant yet. If it doesn't work, go back and wait for the birth. Come back to the city when you are about to give birth. Even if the people in your village are staring at your belly, they can't follow you around every day. They can't chase you all the way to the city."
Li Lan nodded distractedly and left absent-mindedly.
The two sisters continued to chat in whispers for a while before going to the kitchen to cook.
Lin Ying hurriedly took out a chicken and a duck that he had brought with him, both of which had been slaughtered.
Lin Qin knew that this was Lin Ying's habit for many years, so she didn't say anything and just took out some mushrooms that she had saved at home.
"Let's stew chicken soup with mushrooms and make duck into ginger duck! Dad has grown a lot of ginger, so you can put as much as you want." Lin Qin looked like he was rich.
Lin Ying was extremely envious. "Your place is really great! With just your family, you can't even grow crops on such a large piece of land. Even if someone comes to build a house in the future, it's impossible for them to occupy the land you've cleared."
Lin Qin was very happy, "That's really impossible. This whole island belongs to our family. Dad can do whatever he wants with this land. With all these things for him to play with, do you think he will want to go back?"
"What? This entire island belongs to you?" Lin Ying was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
