Chapter 95

Her mother?

Sun Wenxin and Jing Hongyu were both sent to the labor camp and haven't come out yet. How dare Zhou Huifang come to their house?

Jingxian hasn't finished her confinement yet, so she can't move.

"Auntie, please let her in first." Since there were outsiders present, Jing Xian couldn't just chase them out no matter how angry she was.

Old Mrs. Wu went out and came back soon.

A woman followed behind him.

Qiuqin was wearing a black woolen coat, which was much better than the one she wore when she was a nanny. She was holding a child in her arms, who was about one and a half years old.

She placed the child directly on the kang and said to Jing Xian arrogantly, "This is your brother's son, Dabao. Your father meant to leave him here for you to help raise. Anyway, you have many children in your family, so you don't need one more."

Mrs. Wu has never seen such a shameless person in her whole life.

He asked others to help raise his children, but he still acted so arrogantly.

Who gave her the confidence?

Even this well-mannered old lady couldn't stand it anymore, but she found that Jing Xian looked particularly calm.

"Let Shang Yongchang say this to me himself."

Jing Xian didn't smile at all, and she wasn't angry either, but her eyes were so sharp that people didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Qiuqin looked down on Jingxian. When she heard this, she shouted, "Your father personally sent me here. Shang Nanchen is outside talking to him right now. If you want him to tell you in person, then go out and find her."

"Shut up!"

Jing Xian scolded sharply.

Qiuqin was startled and fell silent instantly.

At that moment she suspected Jing Xian wanted to kill her.

"I'll let you take the child away."

Jing Xian looked at the two little guys who were sleeping very uneasily, without even glancing at Qiu Qin, and her slightly cold tone sounded a bit permeable.

What are you hugging?

It's not like she can't have children.

How can I have a child with peace of mind when I have this brat?

Qiuqin relied on the fact that Jingxian couldn't really do anything to her, so she left the child behind and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, stop her." Jing Xian shouted at Zhao Xiuzhi who had just come in.

Zhao Xiuzhi immediately grabbed Qiuqin. Although Qiuqin was a nanny, she didn't do any hard work except cooking and cleaning the house. At most, she could wash clothes. With her little strength, she was no match for Zhao Xiuzhi.

Zhao Xiuzhi stopped the person and turned around to ask Jingxian: "Isn't this person your mother?"

"She's in her early thirties."

Jing Xian got down from the kang while she was talking. She put on her trousers and coat, put on her shoes and walked in front of Qiuqin. The cold eyes of a grandmother came in front of Qiuqin, and Qiuqin panicked.

Qiuqin subconsciously took a step back.

"What do you want to do? I'm your mother-in-law. If you dare to hit me, I will go to your workplace and make you lose your job." Before Qiuqin came, she had been warned by her mother how to control Jingxian.

Is Jingxian an ordinary person?

Those who threatened her had long since died in the pile of zombies.

Oh, and there are also those who are staying in the labor camp.

Which onion is Qiuqin?

Without saying anything, Jing Xian reached out and grabbed Qiu Qin's hair, dragging her outside. When she passed by Zhao Xiuzhi, she said, "Sister-in-law, please take the child out of the room."

"OK."

Zhao Xiuzhi felt her scalp tingling. She glanced at her mother-in-law, picked up Shang Dabao and went after Jingxian.

Jing Xian asked Qiu Qin: "Where is Shang Yongchang?"

"Let me go! Or I'll call for help!" Qiuqin tried to pry Jingxian's hands apart, but her strength was no match for Jingxian's. She was dragged out of the yard by Jingxian in a desperate manner.

"Tell me, where is Shang Yongchang?" Jing Xian was in a bad mood.

It’s just that most people don’t know.

Zhao Xiuzhi was the first person to experience Jing Xian's fighting power. When she saw Jing Xian pulling Qiu Qin and dragging her out with an expressionless face, she felt that Jing Xian was saving her face.

"If you let me go, I will sue you.

I’ll tell you.” Qiuqin was still bargaining.

Jing Xian sneered: "I think you haven't seen the situation clearly yet."

Jing Xian no longer had the patience to ask and dragged Qiu Qin outside.

When they reached the checkpoint, Jing Xian saw Shang Nanchen standing there with a dark face, and Shang Yongchang was talking about something. The relationship between father and son was very strained.

Jing Xian snorted coldly and threw Qiuqin directly to the ground.

Qiuqin cried and ran to Shang Yongchang to complain: "Look at your eldest daughter-in-law, she is such a jerk. I just came into the room, and she dragged me out without even pouring me a cup of tea. Look, she almost pulled out my hair."

Shang Nanchen heard the noise and turned around. He saw Jing Xian pulling Qiu Qin out, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

He vaguely guessed that Qiuqin definitely didn't go in to see Jingxian when she just went in, and he didn't know what she had done to make Jingxian angry.

"I'll have someone drive you back, and I'll take care of this." No matter what it was, he couldn't let Jing Xian get angry during her confinement period. It would be troublesome if she developed a chronic illness.

Shang Nanchen felt guilty and hated Shang Yongchang even more.

He took the child from Zhao Xiuzhi's hands and said, "Thank you for coming here, sister-in-law. Please send Jingxian back."

Jing Xian didn't leave. Everyone had already come out, so there was no need to wait a little longer.

Besides, it’s not cold now, so a little breeze won’t be a problem.

She was wearing long sleeves and long pants, with a scarf wrapped around her head, and she was sweating while walking on the road. This wasn't a gust of wind from the roots of the dialect, so it wouldn't be a big deal if it blew. Even if there was something, she still had her supernatural powers to protect herself.

If she can leave, and if she really leaves, Shang Nanchen will definitely suffer the loss.

That was his biological father, he could do nothing and could not say anything.

"Why did you bring the child here? Eldest wife, don't you plan to raise this child?" Shang Yongchang didn't notice that his son's face looked strange, and questioned Jing Xian with a sullen face.

"This child..."

Shang Nanchen stepped forward and stood in front of Jing Xian.

He was only halfway through his words when Jing Xian took over: "We plan to raise one."

When Qiuqin heard this, she knew Jingxian admitted her mistake.

"It should have been done earlier. Why did you have to let your dad tell you? Okay, you take the child back and we'll leave." Qiuqin was immediately smug again. "Lao Shang, give the child to them and let's go."

Shang Yongchang looked more cheerful when he saw Jing Xian was so interested: "Take good care of the child. He is your brother's child."

"Dad, how much living expenses do you plan to give to the children every month?" Jing Xian is no pushover.

She shocked everyone when she opened her mouth.

Shang Yongchang looked at Jing Xian in disbelief: "What are you talking about? I asked you to raise your brother's child, and you still ask me for living expenses?"

"We have six children in our family, and we rely on Shang Nanchen to make money. Life is already tight, and now there is another child, which means more expenses. I haven't even finished my confinement yet, so I have to find someone to help take care of the child. People are kind enough to help me take care of the child, so they must also eat at our house. I can't let them down for their revolutionary friendship. I don't have milk either, and the milk powder for the two children is expensive. Dad, how much living expenses do you plan to give this child every month?"

Shang Yongchang frowned and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Dad, this is up to you."

"twenty."

Shang Yongchang's monthly salary is more than 200 yuan. Although his current position is not good and it is still a leisurely job, his salary has not changed. Qiuqin used to be their family's nanny, and they said to the outside world that she was a distant relative.

She didn't know how much Shang Yongchang earned a month.

Seeing Xu Xiuying spending money lavishly, Qiuqin felt extremely envious.

As a result, Shang Yongchang just asked for 20 yuan, and she felt so distressed that she cried.

"Twenty, isn't that too much?" Qiuqin muttered softly.

When Jing Xian heard that, she said, "Dad, you give living expenses to your brother's children, but what about our six children? You can't favor one over the other. I won't let you make up for the money for the first few years, and you have to treat all of us equally for the money for the rest of the year.

, it's 120 yuan a month. Plus this from my brother, it's 140 yuan in total. You can give me 140 yuan a month. It's getting late, and I won't let you stay here for dinner, or you might not be able to go back later. You can take out 140 yuan first, and next month you can decide whether you can collect it yourself or I can ask someone to go to your house to get it and bring it to me."

When Qiuqin saw that Li Zhan had blocked her child here and had to give Jingxian 140 yuan, she felt so heartbroken that her heart was bleeding.

"Why don't you go rob? We can raise the child ourselves, we don't need you." Qiuqin stepped forward and snatched Dabao from Shang Nanchen's hands, then walked towards the car while holding the child.

How could Shang Yongchang not understand that Qiuqin was reluctant to part with the money and wanted to get in the car too?

Jing Xian had no intention of letting them leave just like that.

"Dad, if you raise children for your brother, then they are no longer our children? Your brother's children are your grandchildren, but the six of us are not your grandchildren? Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were just born, and you, as the grandfather, didn't say anything. You didn't even ask when they were born. You can't be so partial."

Shang Yongchang took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Jing Xian: "Use this money to buy some food for the children."

Oh, twenty dollars, are you giving to a beggar?

Today, if she doesn't let Shang Yongchang get away with his crimes, she won't be called Jing.

"Dad, how much money do you plan to give to us kids every month in the future?" Jing Xian asked with a smile.

Qiuqin stuck her head out of the car and scolded, "You wishful thinking, if you have the ability to give birth, just raise the child yourself. Why do you need money from your father?"

Jing Xian looked at Qiu Qin with cold eyes, and Qiu Qin shivered at the look. She relied on Shang Yongchang's presence and said boldly: "What? Was I wrong?"

Jing Xian took a few steps forward and whispered to Shang Yongchang, "Dad, you know what time it is now. Hiring a nanny will be labeled as capitalism and will be punished. You have to think carefully."

Shang Yongchang raised his head abruptly and glared at Jing Xian. Jing Xian smiled at him and asked, "Dad, how much money are you going to give to our children every month?"

"One hundred a month." Shang Yongchang was very concerned about his reputation. Seeing the people on both sides looking at him, he said with a serious face, "Is that enough?"

"Dad, have you and Qiuqin got the marriage certificate?" Jing Xian asked another question with a smile.

Shang Yongchang asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"

"We still need someone to do the laundry and cooking. Since she is your daughter-in-law, she is also my mother-in-law. It is reasonable for a mother-in-law to take care of her daughter-in-law during the confinement period."

When Qiuqin heard that she would be paid 100 yuan a month, she was about to say something, but Shang Yongchang stopped her with a look.

Now when she heard Jingxian wanted to keep her to work, she ran out of the car screaming, "I won't stay here, Yongchang, what will happen to you and Dabao if I stay here? Let's go back."

She regretted that she shouldn't have encouraged Shang Yongchang to leave the child to Shang Nanchen.

"No one washes our clothes, and the baby's poop rings cost more than ten yuan a day." Jing Xian said sincerely, "Dad, you can't just watch your daughter-in-law have such a hard life and do nothing about it, right?"

"You stay."

After Shang Yongchang finished talking to Qiuqin, he got in the car, picked up Shang Dabao and drove away.

Qiuqin didn't expect that Shang Yongchang would actually keep her.

Jing Xian said with a smile: "Our dad is so nice."

Shang Nanchen frowned and said worriedly: "You keep her here..."

"I know my limits, don't worry." Jing Xian never does anything without confidence. She looked at Qiuqin who was kneeling on the ground in despair, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You can leave if you want. You can go back after walking for a day and a night. But are you sure you can run away? Qiuqin, you want to take advantage of everything, that's fine. But why did you come to provoke me?"

Do you really think that Jing Xian is someone who can be easily bullied?

She stood up weakly, her figure swaying a bit. Anyone who saw her would think that Jing Xian was a frail woman.

"Let's go, it's time to feed the children." She said, and walked back.

Shang Nanchen said: "I'll take you back."

"No, you do your thing, I'm leaving.

Just go back." Jing Xian didn't care about Qiu Qin and went straight home.

Qiuqin sat there shivering, her ears still echoing with what Jingxian said before she stood up: "You can divorce the old man, and then you can leave here."

divorce?

Why did she get divorced?

She finally married Shang Yongchang, and after a few good days together, she no longer wanted to go back home and wanted to marry just anyone.

Isn’t it just taking care of the confinement period?

As long as she finishes taking care of her during the confinement period, she can go back.

Qiuqin got up and went after Jingxian.

Zhao Xiuzhi was stunned by the whole process. She caught up with Jing Xian and gave her a thumbs up.

"You are so amazing. You actually dare to talk to your father-in-law like that." This was something Zhao Xiuzhi had never dared to think about in her entire life.

She couldn't do it even if you beat her to death.

Jing Xian said: "My father-in-law is a reasonable man. He knew that our family was short of money, so he gave us money every month. He knew that I was still in confinement after giving birth, so he asked his wife to take care of me during the confinement period. It is really hard to find such a person."

Zhao Xiuzhi knew that her mother-in-law had been helping out next door recently and had two meals there every day.

She now cooks all the meals at home after she comes home from work.

She thought that when Jingxian, the stepmother-in-law, came, her mother-in-law would definitely go home. This was also a good thing.

She also became happy.

Jing Xian was in a very good mood at the moment. She got 120 yuan for free. Who wouldn't be happy?

She did not receive any salary while she was at home recuperating after her baby's birth.

When you go to work, that's when you get paid.

Shang Nanchen asked her to stay in confinement for two months, but this was more than two hundred yuan less.

The family has a lot of money, but what will happen in the future?

"You said you were lucky to have two children at the same time. Do you have any secret recipe for having children? Did you reveal it at the very beginning?" Zhao Xiuzhi had a lot of questions to ask Jingxian when she learned that she was pregnant and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Jing Xian was speechless after hearing her words: "Did you hear that a doctor cannot treat himself? Taking the pulse cannot tell whether the baby is single or twin. It can only tell if the baby is pregnant. Besides, I am not a gynecologist, and I don't have a secret recipe for having a baby."

Zhao Xiuzhi felt it was a bit of a pity.

"Gousheng'er is the only boy in our family. I think if I can give birth to another child, maybe my mother-in-law will be happier." It's not that Zhao Xiuzhi didn't want to have a child. After giving birth to Gousheng'er, her belly stopped moving.

Jing Xian glanced at her and said, "I'll show it to you when we get back."

"Will this be too much trouble for you?" Zhao Xiuzhi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"No trouble."

Jingxian thinks that although Zhao Xiuzhi has many minor problems, it is okay to be a neighbor. Jingxian thinks that Zhao Xiuzhi is so clear-headed now, which is probably closely related to the presence of Old Lady Wu.

I just don’t know if Zhao Xiuzhi will be able to break free from the shackles on her body a hundred years after Mrs. Wu passes away.

After returning home and entering the yard, Jing Xian looked at Qiu Qin, who had brought nothing with her, and pointed to the compartment where the food was originally stored and said, "You will live there for the time being. But no one has lived there before, so you may have to clean it yourself."

After Jing Xian finished speaking, she and Zhao Xiuzhi went into the house.

She sat on the kang for a while before taking off her clothes.

Old Mrs. Wu sat in the room and watched Jingxian bring the people back, but she didn't bring the child over. She knew that Jingxian had almost dealt with it. She glanced at Zhao Xiuzhi, who didn't notice her mother-in-law's expression and looked at Jingxian expectantly.

Jing Xian asked her to put her hands on the table and then held her pulse.

Zhao Xiuzhi saw Jingxian frowning and asked anxiously, "Is there something wrong with my body?"

"It's okay, a minor problem. Just take some soup to regulate your body and it will be fine." Jing Xian picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, "Go get two doses of medicine, take them for half a month and see how it goes."

"OK."

Zhao Xiuzhi stood up with the prescription in her hand and met Mrs. Wu's gaze. An idea suddenly occurred to her: "Jingxian, show it to my mother, too."

Jing Xian looked at Mrs. Wu, who frowned and said, "I'm in good health, no need to look."

“

It doesn’t cost anything to take a look.” Jing Xian’s words made Old Lady Wu laugh.

"Then let's take a look."

Old Madam Wu put her hand away, and Jing Xian felt her pulse.

"There's nothing wrong with your body. You're doing fine. Keep going." Jing Xian smiled and withdrew her hand. Just as she was about to speak, the child woke up.

Xiaowu sleeps in a very unrestrained position, with his little hands raised above his head, and then he takes them out from under the quilt.

Now he wakes up and groans.

Jing Xian was afraid that he would wake up her sister, so she quickly changed the little guy's diaper and then lay down on her side to feed the child.

She looked at Xiaoliu who was still sleeping with lingering fear, for she was really afraid that Xiaoliu would wake up.

Xiaoliu cried so loudly that he couldn't stop crying and had a very bad temper.

Zhao Xiuzhi whispered, "I'll keep an eye on that woman for you, you don't have to worry about her."

Jing Xian smiled: "Thank you."

"No, what are you thanking me for?" Zhao Xiuzhi said as she walked outside. Soon, Jing Xian heard Zhao Xiuzhi's voice.

She smiled and chatted with Mrs. Wu: "Sister-in-law is a pretty good person."

"You don't need to praise her, or she will get ahead of you."

Old Mrs. Wu thought she had seen through her daughter-in-law: she was cunning, selfish, and particularly stingy. But she had no complaints about her son.

He is a very serious person and knows how to make money.

I just like to get a bargain.

I guess this can't be changed.

It was rare for someone to steal her father's job secretly. Thanks to Zhao Xiuzhi's sister's hard work, she got a job as a primary school teacher.

The relationship between the two sisters is not very good until now.

Jing Xian doesn't like Zhao Xiuzhi as she is now.

She fed Xiaowu and he fell asleep. Then she looked at Xiaoliu who was smiling secretly in his sleep, and a happy smile spread across her lips.

Jing Xian looked at the two children and suddenly felt relieved.

Somehow, she seemed to be able to feel that her life would have a good beginning and a good end.

A few children came back from outside and found that there was another person in the house, so they went straight into the house to ask Jingxian.

"Mom, what is she doing here?" Tiedan is a vengeful person.

Jing Xian smiled: "It's a gift of money."

"Give money?"

Tiedan didn't believe it, and Jingxian didn't explain. She told Tiedan: "She has been staying at our house for the time being."

"I see."

After Tiedan finished speaking, he lay there and looked at his brother and sister, then walked out reluctantly.

The four brothers returned to the house, mumbling something.

After a while, Jing Xian heard voices coming from the yard, and Fusheng's baby voice sounded very sensible.

"Grandma, you have to wash these diapers thoroughly! My younger brother and sister will use them soon." After saying that, the little guy squatted beside the basin and carefully supervised Qiuqin washing the diapers.

Qiuqin wanted to curse, but suddenly saw Shang Nanchen coming in from outside. Shang Nanchen's eyes were cold and looked more frightening than Jingxian's. Qiuqin swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and started to wash the diapers honestly.

Xiao Mao brought a small stool over. Qiu Qin thought it was for her, but Xiao Mao put it behind Fu Sheng and said with a frown, "Your legs will get numb if you squat like this for a while. Sit on the stool."

Da Mao came out of the house and brought a jar of warm water to Fusheng: "Drink some water."

Tiedan picked a few tomatoes, selected the reddest one, washed it and brought it to Fusheng.

"Would you like some persimmons? These persimmons are very sweet. Mom said that this year's persimmons are better than last year's." Tiedan held a big persimmon in his arms, sat next to Fusheng, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Qiuqin has tried their persimmons and they are really delicious.

Unfortunately, I only got to eat one.

She looked towards the vegetable garden, wanting to pick up some persimmons, and heard Fusheng's soft voice ask, "Guo Guo, how many persimmons are there now? I want to get some for Li Yu tomorrow. He said he wanted to eat scrambled eggs with persimmons."

"You can give him four, but no more. Mom also likes fried eggs with persimmons, and she only has a limited number of them." When Fusheng said this, his eyes were fixed on Qiuqin.

Qiuqin cursed in her heart that the brat said this on purpose for her to hear.

Shang Yongchang and his family are not good people.

"Grandma, please wash it carefully. You haven't even washed the poop on top thoroughly." Fusheng said calmly while eating a persimmon. He didn't think his father was mean at all.

My younger brother and sister were laughing because the poop didn't have any smell at all.

I just don’t know when my younger brother and sister will grow up.

Children say growing up is just a matter of seconds.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

During this month, the children did not go anywhere. No matter where Qiuqin was, she could see the children around her. She did not even go into the main room, let alone eat a bite of persimmon.

Qiuqin was like a prisoner who had just escaped from jail, being despised everywhere.

She wanted to run but couldn't get out.

The reason she was able to come in at the beginning was because she said she came to see Jing Xian.

Several children went to school.

The old lady next door didn't come over either, so there were only Jingxian and her two children at home.

Qiuqin was finally able to enter the house. She opened the curtain and went in. Seeing Jingxian sitting on the kang, she asked directly, "What on earth can you do to let me go back?"
