Chapter 280: Zhao Hongmei as a Lobbyist (Page 1/2)
Old Mrs. Ye was still chatting with Ling Fei in the room, and a while later Zhao Hongmei and her husband Ye Cheng also came.
Seeing Xiao Ya busy, Zhao Hongmei offered to help her, "Mother-in-law, you've worked hard, can I help you?"
Xiao Ya waved her hand and said, "No, it's too windy on the balcony. Hongmei, you should go in and sit for a while!"
Zhao Hongmei said, "Then I'll stand here with you and chat for a while?"
"good."
Xiao Ya understood that Zhao Hongmei had something to ask her about this matter, but she was not afraid that Zhao Hongmei would question her why she let the second son and his wife move out, because it was not her who brought up the matter anyway.
Zhao Hongmei thought for a moment and said, "My dear, let me tell you the truth. I originally thought that since Ye Lan didn't have time to come and take care of Feifei, I would take care of Feifei for my sister-in-law for a while.
I never thought that my eldest daughter-in-law was also found out to be pregnant last week. Now even if I want to take care of Feifei, I can’t come over, lest my daughter-in-law be unhappy.”
Xiao Ya remained silent and continued to stir the food in the wok. Zhao Hongmei continued, "Ah, why is Feifei so ignorant? She lives well at home, why does she have to move out?"
Seeing that Zhao Hongmei had finally gotten to the point, Xiao Ya put down the spatula, turned around and looked at Zhao Hongmei, and said, "Hongmei, speaking of this moving, I never expected it either.
Qingyan applied for housing after getting married, and he has had the key to this house for two months.
After receiving the keys, Qingyan didn't say he wanted to move in, and his father and I didn't tell them to move.
Ling Fei may feel that the room in my old house is too small, which affects her access and is not convenient for placing a baby cradle.
So I thought, since Qingyan has already been allocated a new house, I might as well move here. She also happens to have company here, as my niece Liao Sijie and her family live next door."
Xiao Ya didn't say anything bad about Ling Fei, but instead turned the problem into a house issue.
Zhao Hongmei naturally knew why Ling Fei moved out. Although Feifei was willful, she generally would not tell lies to her.
She also knew that Xiao Ya was considering Feifei's face, so she deliberately said that it was because her house was small and dilapidated, and it would not be convenient for Feifei to live there with her child in the future.
She said, "Mother-in-law, Feifei is not sensible, I hope you can be more understanding. You also know that my sister-in-law gave her to me to raise since she was a child, and I treat her like my own daughter."
Xiao Ya added a little water to the pot and continued to simmer the pig's trotters. When she was done, she smiled and agreed, "Hongmei, I also know that you treat Feifei no differently than your own daughter."
Zhao Hongmei nodded. "I used to treat her better than my two sons. But you know, I'm a mother-in-law now, and I have to consider my daughter-in-law's feelings.
Besides, my daughter-in-law is pregnant now, so I really can't leave. Feifei is pregnant with two children now, so I'd like to ask my in-laws to take good care of her.
"Hongmei, even if you didn't tell me, I would come and take care of her when I'm free. Before, my eldest daughter-in-law gave birth, and I took half a year of sick leave to take care of her for a while.
When Feifei is about to give birth, I will also take six months off to take care of her for a while."
Zhao Hongmei also told Ling Fei about this. In order to take care of her daughter-in-law while she was giving birth, she took a six-month sick leave. If it were her turn, she might not be able to do as well as Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya was paid well, at least a thousand yuan for half a year, right? She was really willing to spend it.
Zhao Hongmei had no opinion on Xiao Ya. She could not blame others for her niece's willfulness, but she still wanted to fight for Ling Fei.
"Mother-in-law, how about this? Since this family has moved, let them live here for a while to warm up the house, and then let them move back in after the New Year!"

Xiao Ya didn't expect that Ling Fei would find a lobbyist for her. It seemed that she really regretted moving out.
But since they have moved out, they definitely cannot move back. Besides, that room has already been vacated for Huanhuan. If they move back, Huanhuan will have to continue sleeping in the living room.
How can that be?
Her son Huanhuan has grown up. In two or three years, if he graduates from high school and cannot go to the recommended Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he will either have to go to the countryside or join the army.
I left them and my home, not knowing when I would be able to return. The new house in Qingyan was not only spacious, but also had a shared toilet and bathhouse on each floor. It was very convenient to shower and go to the bathroom without having to go downstairs.
"Hongmei, I'll tell you the truth. This morning, Huanhuan went home and moved her bedding back to the room where she slept before Qingyan.
If Qingyan and the others move back, Huanhuan will have to move to the living room.
You know he is thirteen or fourteen years old, which is the rebellious age. If you let him move to sleep in the living room again, he will definitely run away from home and move in with his grandfather.
When he graduated from high school, he either joined the army or went to the countryside. He was only at home for a few years, and I couldn't let him continue to sleep in the living room.
Besides, the house here at Qingyan is quite nice and spacious, with toilets and bathhouses on every floor, which is very convenient.”
Zhao Hongmei naturally knew that the newly built family building was very good, but what she was worried about now was that Huo Qingyan was away on a mission and who would take care of Ling Fei with her big belly?
"Mother-in-law, I understand. I can't let your Huanhuan suffer and continue to sleep in the living room. I was thinking, if Qingyan is away on a mission, Feifei will be home alone with a bulging belly and she probably won't even have time to eat."
Xiao Ya saw that the pig's trotters in the pot were stewed and rotten, so she took them out first and said as she did so, "Hongmei, don't worry, if Qingyan is not at home, I will definitely come over to bring her food and vegetables."
Zhao Hongmei's mouth twitched, wondering how Xiao Ya could be so irresponsible? Did she not want to come and sleep with Ling Fei and take care of her?
Even if she doesn't bring food to Feifei, Feifei can go downstairs to the cafeteria to get food, but the problem is what should she do if Feifei suddenly wants to get up and go to the toilet when she is sleeping at night?
Without someone to support her, she might not even be able to squat! And who would fetch her water to wash before bed? After all, she was pregnant with two children!
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongmei couldn't help but said: "Sister Ya, I know you will come to bring her food and vegetables, but Feifei needs someone to take care of her at night.
What if she needs to get up to go to the bathroom at night? Without someone to support her, she probably won’t be able to squat down.
When Xiao Ya heard this, she naturally realized this important issue.
She quickly replied, "Oh, I've thought about this. Qingyan was planning to ask Sijie to come and look after Feifei.
If Sijie is not free, then I will come over to sleep with her at night. I just don’t know if Feifei will get used to sleeping with me.
After hearing Xiao Ya's arrangements, Zhao Hongmei felt a little more at ease.
She smiled and replied, "Feifei has slept with me before, so she shouldn't be unaccustomed to it. Besides, we're not old ladies in our seventies or eighties. The smell of old age on us is scary."
Xiao Ya was stunned after hearing what Zhao Hongmei said. The old lady smelled old... Could it be that Ling Fei disliked her grandmother's old smell and was afraid to sleep with her grandmother?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ya's heart sank.
