Chapter 564 Grandma vs. Grandma
Lin Manli was very reluctant when she learned that Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao were going to take their children to the suburbs of Beijing. She couldn't bear to leave her son and her grandson, but Lu Jingyou was firm in his attitude and she was powerless to change it.
But she had to admit that she couldn't take care of Lu Chengyi. He would even cry when she hugged him, and he was just like his mother and didn't get along with her.
Lu Jiahe advised her: "Don't mention that they went to the suburbs of Beijing, even if they went abroad, your son is still your son, and your grandson is still your grandson, so don't worry about it."
"Yeah, you can have some quiet time." Lin Manling also advised, "You can go shopping and drink tea in your free time, how nice!"
Lin Manling has always envied Lin Manli and thinks she is lucky.
When they were young, the Lin family was well-off, and the two sisters had a much higher standard of living than other people of the same age. When they grew up, the Lin family fell into decline, but Lin Manli married Lu Jiahe.
Although Lu Jiahe is cheerful and unruly, he is still very good to Lin Manli. Although their marriage is an arranged marriage, Lu Jiahe also likes Lin Manli and they are in love.
Now that the Lu family has declined, Lu Jingyou has risen strongly in the suburbs of Beijing. Lin Manli's future life will certainly not be bad. Moreover, the old house has been transferred to Lu Chengyi's name. As a grandmother, Lin Manli can naturally live there as long as she wants.
In Lin Manling's eyes, Lin Manli's life is a life of cheating.
Before she got married, she enjoyed the splendor in her parents' home. After she got married, she lived the life of a young lady in the Lu family. In the future, she could still rest easy thanks to her son.
"After all, Lakeside Villa has become Chen Guilan's home." This is still something that Lin Manli is worried about.
Why can Chen Guilan, a rural woman, live with her son and daughter-in-law, but she, as the mother-in-law, cannot?
"Jingyou said they were worried about leaving Chengyi with a group of strangers, so they asked Chen Guilan to help keep an eye on him. There's nothing they can do about it." Lu Jiahe understood this. "Our job is to take good care of the old couple and not get involved with the young couple."
Ever since Mr. Lu announced that he would give this old house to Lu Chengyi, Lu Jiaping, Wu Xinyue, Qin Xiuming, Lu Qingqing and others have consciously moved their luggage away.
As soon as they moved out, the old house became empty. Mrs. Lu meant to let Lu Jia and Lin Manli move back so that they could take care of each other.
The old couple are old, and Mr. Lu is not in good health, so it is indeed inconvenient for them to be without someone around.
They couldn't just abandon the old couple in the city and go live with their son and daughter-in-law. Lu Jiahe was clear about this.
"That's what I said, but I really can't accept it. The child will be close to whoever takes care of him. When Chengyi grows up, he will only be close to Chen Guilan and won't recognize me as his grandmother." Lin Manli felt more and more aggrieved. When she was young, she didn't take care of Lu Jingyou, so when Lu Jingyou grew up, he was never close to her, but had a close relationship with Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu.
She originally thought that she would make up for her regrets with Lu Chengyi, take care of him personally, and wait for Lu Chengyi to grow up and be closer to her as his grandmother.
Who would have thought that the one who took care of Lu Chengyi was not her grandmother, but Chen Guilan.
"Don't worry, no matter how close he is to Chen Guilan, she is still his grandmother. He will be close to us when he grows up." Lu Jiahe was very confident about this. "I have a friend whose child was raised by his grandmother, but he is still close to his grandmother when he grows up. It's different."
"Others might be able to do it, but Lu Chengyi might not. I've already said that his temper is very much like his mother's." This is also the only thing Lin Manli is dissatisfied with her grandson. "He is not like our Jingyou. Our Jingyou doesn't have a bad temper like him, but he is more like his mother."
"Sister, people live in the present. Why do you think so far ahead?" Lin Manling didn't want Lin Manli to go to the suburbs of Beijing from the bottom of her heart. If her sister left, who would send her cosmetics, treat her to meals, and buy her jewelry?
Although Lin Manli was difficult to get along with, she was quite generous to her younger sister. She would invite her to dinner and tea every now and then, and Lin Manli paid for it all.
The only thing she can do is to provide emotional value to her sister, such as playing with Su Jiaojiao.
Lin Manling doesn't like Su Jiaojiao either.
Su Jiaojiao's two shops suppressed her severely and did not care about the feelings of her relatives at all.
More importantly, Yu Mingyuan suddenly lost contact with her for some unknown reason, and Wanzhuo Garment Factory was no longer as active in providing her with goods as before.
In this way, she became passive.
Bai Ming's suggestion was to let her have a good talk with Su Jiaojiao, and then sell Su Jiaojiao's brand and become a retailer of Jiuzhou Millennium.
But Lin Manling couldn't speak. After all, she had fought a price war with Qianxi Fufu and Qianxi Caicai before, and even had a fight with Ding Linyu and others, and almost ended up in the police station.
Now, how could she have the nerve to ask for peace with Su Jiaojiao... Now she just hoped that Su Jiaojiao would go as far away as possible, and it would be best if she could take the two shops in Wudaokou with her.
Her life became better after Su Jiaojiao left.
"Forget it, let them be!" Lin Manli knew that she was just complaining and had no control over them at all.
We can only blame Lu Jingyou for not being ambitious enough. He always follows Su Jiaojiao's lead in everything. Whatever Su Jiaojiao says is what he does. In order to make it easier for her to take care of the children, he even bought an RV.
Old Mrs. Lu's focus was completely different from Lin Manli's. When she heard that Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao wanted to ask an aunt to help with housework and take care of the children, she agreed very much and asked Song Xiangyun to help find a few reliable candidates.
Song Xiangyun said that her niece is looking for a job, but her niece is not a professional childcare worker. However, her child is already in his teens, so she has some experience. Moreover, her niece worked as a nurse before she got married, so she has experience in treating minor illnesses such as colds and fevers.
Mrs. Lu thought it was a good fit and recommended it to Su Jiaojiao: "The most important thing is that he's reliable and I know him well. I don't mind if he's not a professional, as long as he has good character."
Su Jiaojiao was worried about this matter. After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, she immediately contacted Song Xiangyun, met Song Xiangyun's niece, and immediately agreed.
Song Na is forty years old, doesn't talk much, and is neat and tidy. Her only son is in boarding school, and her husband works in another city and comes home two or three times a year. She can accept living at home.
Chen Guilan was also very satisfied with Song Na and asked her to stay that day.
The other two aunts were selected by Su Jiaojiao from within the company after she started working. She made it very clear to them that they were all employees of Jiuzhou Qianxi, just with different responsibilities.
With the help of the support group, Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou felt instantly relieved, and the family happily moved into the lakeside villa.
