Faced with such a situation and the emergence of such a daughter-in-law, their lifelong integrity has been dishonored, and they already had the intention to withdraw. They will only speed up the process of withdrawing, and it is also a way of showing their attitude to their superiors: "You say I am showing favoritism?"
Alright, I'll just withdraw. By leaving this vast capital city, I've eliminated any possibility of favoritism, but I'm still a bit willful.
"You're here, but where are my eldest and second eldest brothers?"
The old lady still felt a lump in her throat when this was mentioned.
"Your second brother and his wife can continue going to their jobs. As for your eldest brother, let him handle it himself!"
Qin Qinghuai understood; the old lady was truly heartbroken.
However, given Qin Qingjiang's honest and simple nature, his filial piety and pride, the most likely outcome is that he will divorce Fang He as soon as he returns. He might even resign, since this would be a bad thing to say anywhere. The Qin family has been in Beijing for so many years, and they have never encountered anything like this before.
Tsk tsk!
Although it was his older brother, Qin Qinghuai was also a little gloating. Look, this is what happens when you don't find the right wife.
"I understand. I'll go back and tell my wife that the west side of our house is still empty. I'll rent it from the logistics department and have someone tidy it up so you can move in."
"Don't take too much stuff. Will someone see you off to the car? It's not safe for you elderly people to be leading so many children."
The old lady felt slightly reassured, but her voice was still somewhat weak.
"It's alright. Let the second brother see us off. Even though he's retired, he can still buy a sleeper berth. Once we close the carriage door, there won't be any problems."
That's what they say, but after this blow, the two elderly people probably aren't in very good spirits, and Qin Qinghuai is still worried.
"Why don't we have your second brother and sister-in-law take you here? Let them see where the child will live and what the environment is like. That way, they'll feel more at ease."
"Please don't,"
The old lady refused outright.
"No need, we're not that useless. Qin Jing is all grown up, he can keep an eye on the younger ones, so don't worry about him."
Okay, I've been rejected.
"Okay, the train goes to the county town. We'll be waiting for you there."
After hanging up the phone, he went to the logistics department to finalize the reservation for the courtyard, then headed back, thinking about how to tell his wife. He wasn't worried about her disagreeing, but she had always preferred peace and quiet, so she was sure to be disappointed.
"What? Mom and Dad came with all five kids?"
Jian Dan wasn't just surprised, she was shocked. However, she quickly realized something was wrong. Based on their interactions over the past few days, the old lady didn't seem like the type to come to live with her youngest son, bringing her entire family and her two sons' children.
"What happened?"
Qin Qinghuai smiled bitterly.
"You're being way too sensitive,"
She briefly recounted the events, seemingly lost in thought, but not particularly surprised. After all, she had long been prepared for this historical trajectory, and these situations were not isolated incidents.
"Then Mom and Dad must be heartbroken. They're about to retire, and my sister-in-law has done this to them. Isn't that ruining their reputation all at once?"
Qin Qinghuai nodded as well.
"Yes, I knew she was a ticking time bomb. I thought the recent beatings would at least calm things down for a while. But look, with my brother away, no one can keep her in check, so she's retaliated."
"Hmm! Perhaps they've been oppressed too much, so they'll naturally fight back desperately whenever they get the chance to prove their worth."
"Yes, she's incredibly useful. She single-handedly made the old folks want to kill her. If they've ever shown any favoritism, they won't be able to get away so easily this time."
Seeing his tense expression, Jian Dan could roughly understand his feelings, so she changed the subject.
"By the way, you said you booked a place, which one is it? Shouldn't you go and tidy it up, and buy some daily necessities?"
"Honey, I'm sorry, I know you like peace and quiet. This happened so suddenly, I agreed to let them come over without discussing it with you."
"Alright,"
Simply interrupt him.
"Do I not know you? Besides, in this situation, what is there to discuss?"
"Didn't you say we're family? My parents are very good to me, so shouldn't the whole family work together in times like this?"
As he spoke, he simply took the big hand and shook it.
"You know my situation. I don't have any other elders around me. My second aunt isn't here. My parents have come over, so I'm happy to have two more elders with me."
Besides, to be selfish, even if they come over, they won't live with us, so it won't really have a big impact on our lives.
Besides, don't you think our house is a bit too quiet? The children are very well-behaved; when they come over, they run around, making the house a little more lively, don't they?"
With a sigh, Qin Qinghuai hugged her. He still felt that his wife was too understanding. In other people's homes, if they knew that their parents-in-law had come over without a word and with several children, they would have made a scene. Why would she comfort him like this?
The thing that Jian Dan is most satisfied with is that they don't live together. She has always believed that even the closest relationships are better kept at a distance. Like this, even though they live close by, they are still two families, which makes everyone feel more comfortable.
Moreover, given the Qin family's financial situation, they wouldn't have any conflicts over food or clothing. She didn't care about that either. If you remove that root of all problems, and they're not really living together every day, there really isn't anything that could make them unable to get along.
