Aunt Yuan can't escape this criticism. As for her position in the management department, I don't know. It's too embarrassing.
Seeing the weeping and wailing Wang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, along with Qin Fen and his son, she was furious. She couldn't keep a pleasant expression to herself anymore. "You two better get your marriage certificate tomorrow! Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain, and you know what the consequences will be if someone reports you!"
Thinking of the bad guys they'd seen today, the four of them shuddered. "Understood, Aunt Yuan, we'll go tomorrow."
"Alright, go and pay Zhu Lin the money she owes! And live a good life together after you get married!"
"well!"
Because he had to pay five yuan for punching Zhu Lin, and thinking that they would be family from tomorrow onwards, Qin Fen also paid the twenty yuan that the Wang family owed. Originally, he didn't need to pay that much, but several doses of medicine were ruined, and it was expensive.
Because he was about to marry the woman he loved, Qin Fen didn't even bother arguing with Zhu Lin about the broken glass. After giving Zhu Lin the money, the father and son went to buy a new glass.
Qin Fen was thinking that after he and Sister Meifen got their marriage certificate tomorrow, Sister Meifen would be his wife, and if they had a son in the future, that would be perfect.
Qin Fen's dream, barring any unforeseen circumstances, was doomed. What Wang Meifen hadn't told him was that she'd been involved with too many men, and now that she was single, and with strict regulations on her conduct, she wouldn't face major problems unless caught red-handed. But if she got pregnant, she'd be in deep trouble. She was quite ruthless with herself, so she got an IUD. However, she also left herself a way out: she didn't get a tubal ligation, just an IUD.
Wang Meifen was also a pitiful person. Her mother-in-law was a master of pretense. When her husband was alive, Old Lady Wang would fawn over Wang Meifen every day, speaking sweetly as if she had honey on her lips, and coaxing her every day. Wang Meifen did all the housework, and even though she had given birth to three sons, she still felt particularly guilty. She was quite an extraordinary person.
After her husband passed away, she took over his job, but it wasn't the same position, the salary was low, and she had three children to support. Old Mrs. Wang did nothing and brainwashed her every day.
Under the subtle and overt instigation of Old Lady Wang, Wang Meifen started looking for men outside. She was pretty, and after sleeping with them, she'd put on a pitiful act. Most men have a tendency to pity the weak, and if she looked pitiful enough, begging for their help, getting fifty or eighty yuan each time wouldn't be a problem. Once the money was borrowed, as for repayment? Forget about it; she could just sleep with them again. Qin Fen was her biggest fish, not only a fish but also a henchman, basically doing whatever she was told. She just never expected to stumble and fall into his trap this time.
Meanwhile, Yu's mother was quite satisfied with the gossip she had heard these past few days. She was glad that she had come today, otherwise she would have missed it again.
Every three days a small incident happens, and every five days a big one. She was thoroughly enjoying the gossip. Every day after breakfast, the first thing she did was rush over here, then take her triplets and Cheng Ke to watch the show. Liu Yun had also thoughtfully prepared a lot of melon seeds for Yu's mother, so Yu's mother would eat melon seeds while Cheng Ke embroidered handkerchiefs and knitted, afraid that if they arrived late, they would miss the next big show.
It's the weekend, and since Yu's mother is here taking care of the children, Liu Yun simply invited Yu Qian, Yu's father, and the Yu family's children to come over for dinner. She then went out and secretly retrieved something from her spatial storage.
Tonight was a feast. I made a braised rabbit, a plate of fish, and stewed three quails for the three little ones. I also made a stir-fried loofah with eggs and some bok choy. The vegetables were freshly picked from the garden, washed, and then stir-fried in the pot. They were very tender.
The meals weren't as lavish as they used to be at the Yu family's house. After all, the Yu family's house was a detached courtyard, while this was a large, crowded courtyard. Nowadays, people are short of oil and fat, and it's the same in every household. There's no such thing as good food here; this is already the best we can do.
Sigh! The life of Yu's mother, who spends her days walking her child, eating melons, receiving a retirement pension, owning a house and a car, is the dream of many 996 office workers in big cities. Liu Yun said she was almost crying with envy.
Right now, all she wants is to save up some money in the next few years, get on the good side of Cheng Ke and Liu Jing, and after the reforms, persuade them to start their own businesses so she can invest money, buy a few small courtyards to collect rent, and then grow vegetables in her space. Just thinking about this fills her with motivation.
The next morning, Wang Qin and the other three rushed to the factory to get letters of introduction, but their moods were quite different.
Old Mrs. Wang and Wang Meifen wore long faces, having cried all night. The thought of their son (grandson) being mistreated and bullied in the juvenile detention center was like a knife pricking their hearts. Old Mrs. Wang completely hated Zhu Lin and Aunt Zhu. If it weren't for them, her beloved grandson wouldn't have been arrested, and she wouldn't have married Old Mrs. Qin. Just thinking about it made her want to vomit blood. As for Zhu Lin, she now wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Wang Meifen is now filled with regret. Why didn't she teach her son properly? She bears undeniable responsibility for this situation, but she simply doesn't have the energy anymore. Just earning money to support her large family already takes up most of her mind. Thinking that her mother-in-law isn't doing a good job managing things at home either, she unconsciously started to resent even Old Lady Wang.
Qin Fen and his father were grinning from ear to ear.
In Qin Fen's heart, Wang Meifen was the best woman in the world—virtuous, kind, and resilient. Anyone else would have run away long ago given her family's circumstances, but she had sacrificed so much for that family, always wanting to raise the child and thus consistently refusing him and disagreeing with marriage. Last night, thinking about their upcoming wedding, he couldn't sleep a wink, but now he felt no fatigue, only excitement.
Old Man Qin looked down on Wang Meifen and never wanted his son to get entangled with a widow, but his son was stubborn and had his eye on Wang Meifen. He was quite clear-headed about women other than Wang Meifen, but he was completely blinded by his feelings for her.
