Chapter 424: Liao Sijie's Troubles (Page 1/2)
Grandma Lin Jing is so old, how can she come to help her take care of the children? Coming here will only increase her burden.
My cousin's wife is lucky. My cousin considers everything for her. After work, he either helps take care of the children or helps with housework.
"Brother Jing, your mother can't help take care of the child. How about we ask someone to come back and help take care of the child?"
Lin Jing was stunned. "Si Jie, our family has never hired a nanny. My sister-in-law took care of her children herself. And if we hired someone to take care of the children, we would definitely be reported as a capitalist-roader."
Liao Sijie pursed his lips. "Your mother is in the city now and won't come back. It's all my cousin's fault for coming out to recognize her. If it weren't for her, my father-in-law and mother-in-law wouldn't be getting divorced."
She is so unlucky that her mother-in-law is alone in the city and doesn't take care of anyone's children.
Lin Jing didn't hire a nanny for her. She had to take care of her child herself in the future. Lin Jing's grandmother was too old to help her take care of the child. At most, she could come and take a look.
Her mother is on the island again. She took a leave to come back this year, but will go back soon. It would be great if Mr. Huo could help bring her parents back. At least there will be someone to help her take care of the children in the future.
Liao Sijie was worried. When she was a teenager, she had to help her cousin take care of the children. Now when she gave birth to the child, she had to raise it by herself. Why was her life so miserable?
She obviously married a young and promising military officer, right?
Lin Jing frowned subconsciously when he heard Liao Sijie say this. "Actually, my parents' divorce has nothing to do with your cousin's wife. My mother didn't take good care of her daughter back then, and my eldest brother found out. So my father will find out the truth sooner or later, and he will still divorce her after knowing it."
What's more, his mother had an affair with another man and gave birth to Qiao Sitian, but she was replaced in the delivery room. Later, her mother wanted to abandon the child and deliberately left the ward, allowing Lin Man to be replaced by another person.
After all, the one who suffered the most was Lin Man. Lin Weiwei, who had a heart disease, had enjoyed happiness in their family for at least more than ten years, not to mention his half-sister Qiao Sitian, who was even more pampered in the Qiao family.
Liao Sijie didn't expect Lin Jing to say that. She thought Lin Jing would blame her cousin's wife for causing her parents' divorce, so she said that.
However, she still felt a little resentful towards her mother-in-law. If she hadn't done anything wrong back then, nothing would have happened, and now she wouldn't be in such a state where she couldn't even find someone to take care of her children.
Not only does the mother-in-law not help with taking care of the children, but Lin Jing and his brother also have to give her pension money every year.
"Brother Jing, your mother has a job now. Do we still need to give her pension money?"
"Yes, although she has a job, her salary is not high, and she still has to rent a house in the city.
My brother and I gave her ten yuan a month. Since she didn't have a job, we each gave her twenty yuan because she had to go to the hospital every month for medical treatment at that time.
Now she works as a gatekeeper at a recycling station. Her salary is really low, only 20 yuan a month. She is in poor health and often needs to see a doctor.”
"Brother Jing, can you also send ten dollars to my mother every month?"
Lin Jing was stunned. He didn't expect Liao Sijie to make such a request. Generally speaking, according to tradition, daughters would not provide for their parents in their old age. It was the sons who provided for their parents in their old age.
Liao Sijie is not working, and he has to take care of the elderly, the children, and his wife by himself.
If his mother-in-law didn't have a son, he would definitely be willing to help with her old-age care. The problem is that his mother-in-law has two sons. If he takes the initiative to help with her old-age care, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of his two brothers-in-law?
He pursed his lips and said, "Si Jie, I won't say anything if you occasionally send some money to your mother-in-law and the others, but it's a bit inappropriate to send them money every month so that we can support them in their old age.
After all, you have two younger brothers and a younger sister. If you use money to support your parents, then your sister should also get a share.
If your sister doesn't come out, your parents will have a problem with her, and that will cause discord between you two sisters, won't it?"
Liao Sijie's eyes darkened. After all, Lin Jing was reluctant to spend money on her and was unwilling to spend money on their family.
She suddenly felt a little envious of her cousin's wife. She could spend her money however she wanted. No matter how expensive the things her cousin's wife bought were, her cousin would always praise her for having good taste and buy more if she needed it.
Lin Jing's salary is not low, but he has to calculate everything to make a living. Everyone knows how much money is in the savings account and how much money is spent every month.
It was impossible for her to steal the passbook and take out all the money in it, so it was impossible for her to help her parents' home.
This woman should either marry a man who is understanding and generous like my cousin, or if she doesn't have a generous husband, she has to find a way to save some money on her own. Once she has money, no one will bother her with what she wants to do.
Liao Sijie was considering whether to wait until the child was older and then ask Lin Jing to buy her a job.

Liao Sijie asked Lin Jing tentatively, "Brother Jing, when our son grows up, can you arrange a job for me?"
"What kind of job do you want? Babysit and cook for other people? If you're going to babysit and cook for other people, what about our own children?
Esjie, I don't need you to go to work, you just need to take care of our own children."
Liao Sijie was very depressed when she heard what Lin Jing said. She had helped her cousin's wife take care of children before. Was she going to take care of children for the rest of her life? Couldn't he spend money to buy her an easy job?
"Brother Jing, I never thought your sister would get a job for your mother. It seems that blood ties are still very important. Tell me, should we build a good relationship with your sister?"
"Forget it. Qiao Sitian found a job for my mom because she was afraid she would cause trouble over there. Do you think she's really that generous and easy to talk to? She won't recognize us. Why would you want to have a relationship with her?"
Lin Jing didn't want to humiliate himself again. Qiao Sitian was not a good person. Since she didn't recognize him as her brother, he would not recognize her as his sister.
The Wang family is starting to go downhill. If one day she is abandoned by her man, she might come and suck their blood.
Liao Sijie didn't expect that Qiao Sitian was also unreliable. After analyzing it over and over again, she still felt that she should build a good relationship with her eldest cousin and others, maybe they could help her in the future.
She decided to go visit Mr. Huo in two days, and she would go in the name of her parents. Every time her parents sent local specialties from the island, they would ask her to give some to Mr. Huo to try.
However, she thought that Mr. Huo would not be short of food, and would not care about those seafood and dried fruits, so she kept them all for herself.
But she still planned to go to the Huo family tomorrow with two salted fish and a bag of dried bananas.
The next morning, Liao Sijie went to the Huo family with two salted fish and a bag of dried bananas.
When she walked into the living room, Lin Man was sitting on the sofa, looking at her with some surprise.
"Why are you here?
Liao Sijie felt a little guilty, but still greeted Lin Man with a smile: "Cousin-in-law!" After saying that, she put the things in her hand on the table.
Lin Man looked at the things Liao Sijie brought and couldn't help but feel puzzled. She didn't come to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, so why did she suddenly come today?
She wondered if Liao Sijie had come here today to ask for help with something. Could these salted fish and dried bananas have been sent by her aunt?
Lin Man stared at Liao Sijie's belly for a while, then asked her to sit down. "Come on, sit down."
After Liao Sijie sat down, he looked around and suddenly asked, "Cousin, where is Grandpa Huo?"
After going through some things, Lin Man didn't like Liao Sijie very much, but Liao Sijie had helped her take care of the children before, so she naturally felt embarrassed to drive her away.
And even if it was a stranger visiting, she couldn't just chase them away, let alone someone she knew.
So she smiled and asked Liao Sijie to sit down, "Grandpa took the children for a walk."
Liao Sijie didn't expect that Mr. Huo, at his age, would still have to help take care of the children.
Her eyes fell on the small sweater Lin Man was knitting, and she asked with a smile, "Cousin, who are you knitting this sweater for? Is it for my second cousin's child? But boys don't usually wear red."
She was secretly happy in her heart, thinking, could it be because her aunt told her cousin that she was pregnant with a girl, so her cousin's wife specially knitted a red sweater for her child?
Lin Man quickly shook her head: "This is not knitted for Huo Yichen."
When Liao Sijie heard this, he became even more excited, thinking that this little sweater must be prepared for his child.
She said happily, "Cousin, they say sour food makes a boy, spicy food makes a girl. I've been really into sour food lately, so I guess the baby in my belly is a boy."
Lin Man said "oh" indifferently. Seeing that she didn't react, Liao Sijie reminded her, "Cousin, An An and Ning Ning's sweaters can no longer be worn by others, so you can give them away."
Lin Man seemed to see what Liao Sijie was thinking and understood that she wanted An An and Ning Ning's sweaters. Naturally, she couldn't just give away the sweaters she knitted for her children.
She said: "I won't give those sweaters away. I have to keep them for my next child. The sweater I'm knitting now is for the baby in my belly."
Originally, she had not planned to tell Liao Sijie the news of her pregnancy, but seeing that she seemed to like the red sweater very much, she was worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so she decided to tell her the truth.
