Chapter 604: Complaints and Calculations (Page 1/2)
Tang Lihong looked at her daughter Song Jingjing, whose face was haggard and eyes were bloodshot, and her heart was filled with pity and love. But even so, she shook her head firmly and did not agree to her daughter's request.
Not only that, she even began to persuade me earnestly: "Jingjing, Mom thinks you should just quit your job.
Wait until Anran's condition has completely improved, then you can look for a stable and reliable job again.
Look at your sister-in-law, she doesn't have to go out to work, and she still lives a happy life!"
Song Jingjing, who had been expecting her mother to support her and stay to help take care of the child, was stunned after hearing these words.
She never expected that even her mother, who had always loved her, would advise her to quit her job.
If I really stop working in the future and rely entirely on my husband Huo Qingyan for a living, then after a long time, won’t I have to act according to his mood?
Thinking of this, Song Jingjing felt panic and helpless.
"Mom, you don't understand the situation at all! My eldest brother and his wife have been living with grandpa, and his monthly pension is only two or three hundred yuan!
Even if my sister-in-law had continued to work as a teacher, and even if her salary had increased, it would only be a little over thirty yuan at best. With the way she spends money, I'm afraid she can't even support those children." Song Jingjing said with a pout.
Tang Lihong was surprised. "Could it be that all of Mr. Huo's retirement salary was spent on your eldest brother and his wife's family?"
"That's right! Look at the children in other families. They can wear new clothes every year and never wear other people's old clothes.
You know, children's leather shoes are not cheap, but my sister-in-law buys them new ones every year.
Look at our Zizi and sister-in-law, they can only pick up Huo Yixin’s old clothes and shoes to wear.”
If it weren't for saving money, who would want their children to pick up other people's old clothes to wear? She also wanted her children to wear new clothes and shoes every day and eat delicious food, but they had to find a way to save money.
Tang Lihong thought to herself: No wonder my daughter has never been close to my sister-in-law. It seems that she feels it is unfair.
However, anyone who encountered this situation would probably feel uneasy. Although she was indignant, she did not dare to stand up and accuse Mr. Huo of being biased.
"Jingjing, I remember Mr. Huo had already divided the family property once before. Everything that needed to be divided should have been clearly divided long ago."
Tang Lihong frowned and looked at Song Jingjing in confusion. Then she said, "Jingjing, if you envy your eldest brother and his wife, you can also bring the old man to live with you and let him help take care of the children."
"Mom, my house is so small, there's no way he can live here. Even if he can, there's no way Grandpa can live here.
Grandpa only has three sons left. He would rather live alone than live with his sons. I guess he is afraid of trouble.
But he is a very traditional person. He values his eldest son and grandson very much and likes his eldest brother especially.
Even now, his great-grandson particularly likes his eldest brother's eldest son, Huo Yining. "He doesn't treat my Yichen as well as he treats Huo Yixin." Song Jingjing couldn't help but complain.
Tang Lihong understood that the eldest son and grandson always held the highest position in the eyes of the elders. When she died, she would still rely on her eldest son and grandson to bury her spirit tablet.
Tang Lihong thought about it and gave her opinion, "Jingjing, they live together every day, so the old man is naturally close to them. Since Mr. Huo likes your eldest brother's family, you don't have to force it.
I think you should send both of your sons to your father-in-law's house and let them take care of them. They'll become close over time."
Song Jingjing seemed to be considering the feasibility of this issue. Bringing one is the same as bringing two.
However, she definitely wouldn't be willing to send her eldest son to her parents-in-law's house, as he was her most beloved son.
Moreover, her son is very obedient and can help her with some work now that he is older. Her daughter Huo Yingzi can be sent over as she is the same age as her sister-in-law, so the two of them can keep each other company.
"Mom, I suggested sending Zizi over. I think it's a good idea, but Qingyan doesn't seem to be willing to do it."
"He doesn't want to, but that's because I'm still here and can handle it. Once I'm gone and you guys are too busy, he'll definitely find a way to send one away.
The twins are still young and need milk, so they definitely can't be sent there, otherwise people will definitely gossip about them. Since you don't want to send Chenchen there to please your in-laws, then let Yingzi go.
But I advise you not to send it over for now, and wait until your mother-in-law looks better.

If you send them there in a hurry, your father-in-law will get angry and might even send both of your children back."
Song Jingjing thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible. If Yingzi was not sent over for the time being, she could tell Yingzi every day that her grandma's house was fun and there were many delicious foods. After a long time, her daughter would probably take the initiative to ask to go to her parents-in-law's house.
Xiao Ya didn't know what Song Jingjing was planning. If she knew, she would probably be worried. Now that she was feeling better, her son sent his grandson over.
If she hadn't thought about her granddaughter's heart disease, she really didn't want to take over. After all, none of her eldest son's children were left to her to take care of. If she was too partial, it would definitely chill the eldest daughter-in-law's heart.
Huo Qingyan rushed to the hospital in a hurry, his heart full of anxiety and worry.
When he stood in front of his brother Huo Qingci, panting, his brother was shocked, thinking that something serious had happened to his niece.
However, the words Huo Qingyan said left his brother a little confused.
He said anxiously, "Brother, do you have any way to get some milk powder tickets? Jingjing wants Anyan to drink rice soup, but how can that be possible? She's only a month old. How can she grow big on rice soup alone?"
Hearing this, Huo Qingci frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did your wife suddenly think of giving Yanyan rice soup? Doesn't she still have milk? With some milk powder, it should be enough for two children."
Huo Qingyan sighed helplessly and explained, "Jingjing said that Anran is too small, weak, and has a heart disease, so she must drink breast milk all the time. Considering that raising a child is expensive, in order to save money, we let Anyan drink rice soup."
After hearing this, Huo Qingci felt even more puzzled.
He really couldn't understand why his sister-in-law made such arrangements. Wasn't Huo Anyan her biological daughter?
So, he said to Huo Qingyan earnestly, "Qingyan, you have to think about this carefully. Our Anran developed poorly in the womb, which is why she has congenital heart disease.
If An Yan only drinks rice soup now, what if she gets sick from malnutrition? We can't joke with our children's health!
Besides, even if our family is in financial difficulty, we can’t mistreat our children, right? Besides, your salary is not low.”
"I know all this. Children only drink formula for one year. We have saved some money, so it's no problem to support five children.
I don't know what Jingjing was thinking, maybe because An Yan is much bigger than An Ran, she felt uncomfortable!"
Huo thought his sister-in-law was crazy. They were both his own children, yet they kept comparing them. An Ran's head was small because she hadn't developed well. How could she blame An Yan?
"Qingyan, since Anran and Anyan are twins, you should treat them equally. Just because Anran is sick doesn't mean Anyan has to give in to her. Anyan didn't make Anran sick."
Huo Qingyan naturally understood this logic. When he thought of An Ran and Any Yan, he thought of the twins that Ling Fei had induced abortion for.
He always felt that he owed those two children, so the two children were reincarnated into Song Jingjing's belly.
"Brother, don't worry. I won't be partial to An Ran like Jing Jing. Anyan is also my precious daughter."
Huo Qingci felt that since his brother had this awareness, he didn't need to worry too much, so he said: "I know that milk powder is hard to buy, but children usually have to wait until they are six months old before they can start eating complementary foods. You still have to buy some milk powder for them in these few months. If breast milk is not enough, let them drink milk powder.
Anran has a heart disease. I can give you a certificate. You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk powder with the certificate.
If you still don’t have enough milk powder, you can ask my classmate, he’s in the purchasing department and should be able to get some for you.”
"Okay, thank you, big brother. Please give me a certificate first. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two bags of milk powder for Yanyan."
"Okay, I'll open it for you later."
Seeing his brother's haggard face, Huo Qingci knew that he hadn't had a good rest recently, so he asked with concern: "Qingyan, haven't you had a good rest recently?"
Huo Qingyan nodded, "Yeah, Anran and Anyan wanted to drink milk at night, and they made a lot of noise and woke me up."
"Qingyan, if you're like this, what will you do if you have to go on a flight mission? You must get enough sleep before you can go on a mission."
"If there's a mission, I'll stuff cotton in my ears when I go to bed at night. I plan to sleep in the living room with Chenchen from now on."
Let his wife and Tang Xue take care of the twins in the room. His wife had a caesarean section when giving birth this time. For the sake of her health, it is best not to have sex for half a year.
Moreover, his wife is so fat, with dark stretch marks and fat all over her belly, and he has no interest in her.
