The tube building is U-shaped, with ten rooms on the east and west sides and eight rooms in the middle.

Jia Yuemei lived in the seventh room on the east side in the middle. Du Juan walked all the way there with Daya. Before they reached the door, they heard Jia Yuemei humming a song, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Yuemei."

Jia Yuemei turned around and saw Du Juan and her daughter coming in with the quilt curtain pulled up. She smiled and asked them to sit down.

"No, I'm going to come down and see how you've cleaned up. Do you need help?"

Jia Yuemei was not polite either. She pointed to the bed in the inner room and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, help me fold the quilt. My waist has been very sore these past two days."

Du Juan was a little puzzled, "You folded up the bed, where will Xiangnan sleep?"

Of course, live in a building.

However, Jia Yuemei was unwilling to tell Du Juan about this. She only had one house. If she told Du Juan now, what if Du Juan and her husband argued with her? "The rent here is about to expire. We don't plan to continue renting it. The expenses are high."

Hearing this, Du Juan didn't ask any more questions and took Daya into the inner room to start making the bed.

Jia Yuemei held her waist and leaned against the door frame to watch the mother and daughter clean up.

Daya will be five years old next Chinese New Year and can already help Du Juan with a lot of things.

"Sister-in-law, how long will it take for my brother to learn to drive? What will he do after he finishes learning? Has my sister told you?"

"No."

Du Juan didn't even turn her head and continued to respond to Jia Yuemei's words while busying herself.

"Then why don't you ask? What exactly do you learn to drive for? There must be an explanation."

"Let's wait until Chaobei has learned it well. It never hurts to learn more skills."

Jia Yuemei asked Du Juan about her night school training class with Shen Mingzhu, "What's the point of studying? Can you make money from this in the future?"

Du Juan thought for a moment and said, "It's not very useful, it just broadens my horizons and helps me understand more."

Jia Yuemei didn't believe it and thought Du Juan was unwilling to tell her.

He only appears to be kind and generous on the surface, but who knows what else he may be doing.

…

When everything was almost cleaned up, Qin Jinlian arrived.

"Have you packed everything? That's great. I can take them all back to the countryside tomorrow."

Du Juan didn't think there was anything wrong with what Qin Jinlian said and nodded in agreement.

However, Jia Yuemei's face changed. She was packing up not to go back to the countryside, but to move into a big building.

But she didn't want to talk about this in front of Du Juan, so she sent Du Juan back upstairs on the pretext of being hungry.

"Mom, what did my little sister say?"

Qin Jinlian was reluctant to spend money on a taxi, so she walked back on foot, and her throat was so tired that it was smoking.

She poured a glass of water and gulped down the water before speaking, "Yuemei, we won't live in the city next year."

"Why?"

Qin Jinlian pulled her to sit down and said with a smile: "Mingzhu has found a good job for you..."

When she heard about the good job, Jia Yuemei was quite happy, thinking that she would be able to do some easy work in a food factory like Du Juan.

As a result, she was asked to raise chickens and rabbits in the countryside next year? How could that be possible? She had agreed to marry Shen Xiangnan, an older, second-married man, in order to live a good life in the city.

"Mom, I'm not going back to the countryside. I'll be wherever Xiangnan is."

"I'm worried about leaving Xiangnan alone in the city. If I can't live in peace, your grandson won't live in peace either."

As Jia Yuemei spoke, she touched her already visibly pregnant belly.

This trick has always worked in the past.

Qin Jinlian really ran to find Shen Mingzhu.

However, she didn't know that Qin Jinlian had been brainwashed by Shen Mingzhu.

"Yuemei, Mingzhu said that our Shen family doesn't support idlers, and we don't have the conditions to do so. What you are carrying in your belly is not only the grandson of the Shen family, but also your and Xiangnan's baby. How your future life will be depends on you and Xiangnan."

"Think about it carefully. I'll go upstairs to help your sister-in-law cook."

After saying this, Qin Jinlian lifted the door curtain and went out.

Jia Yuemei seemed unable to accept Qin Jinlian's transformation. She stared blankly at the moving door curtain, unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing that the dishes were about to be served, but Jia Yuemei hadn't come up yet, Du Juan told Daya, "Go and ask your second aunt to come up for dinner."

"oh!"

Daya ran downstairs with her pigtails swinging up and down.

After a while, Daya came back and said to Du Juan with her rosy little face, "Mom, Second Aunt said she doesn't want to eat."

Before Du Juan had time to ask, Qin Jinlian came out of the room.

"Forget it, let's eat first. She'll come up on her own when she gets hungry later."

Du Juan looked at Qin Jinlian strangely for several times, thinking to herself, did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a quarrel? "Then I'll send Yuemei down."

Unexpectedly, Qin Jinlian didn't accept her offer at all. "Why send her a gift? She has legs. Just leave it in the pot."

This time, Du Juan was really a little shocked.

At the same time, I was also curious about what Jia Yuemei had done to make Qin Jinlian so angry that she even ignored her grandson.

…

Jia Yuemei originally wanted to resist Qin Jinlian by not eating, hoping to make Qin Jinlian compromise. After all, Qin Jinlian treasured the grandson in her belly the most.

Little did she know that Qin Jinlian really didn't care about her and let her, a pregnant woman, starve downstairs.

Jia Yuemei was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears, but luckily there were some snacks like peanut candies in the house that could fill her stomach.

When Shen Xiangnan got home from work at night, Jia Yuemei started crying: "What did your mother say when we got married? She said she would arrange a job for me in the city and our family would take 200 less betrothal gifts. OK, I agree."

"It's only been a short time. Seeing that I'm pregnant now, your family has united to bully a pregnant woman like me. Shen Xiangnan, do you care?"

Shen Xiangnan was stunned.

He believed that Shen Mingzhu bullied Jia Yuemei, after all, his younger sister was indeed a bit overbearing.

But his mother has been longing for a grandson so much that her hair has turned white. She almost worships his wife as a bodhisattva. How could she possibly bully her?

"Yuemei, stop crying. What's going on?"

"Your younger sister instigated your mother to let me go back to the countryside to raise chickens and rabbits. Your elder sister-in-law is in the city. Why should I go back to the countryside? Isn't this clearly bullying me?"

Although Shen Xiangnan has no special abilities, he has a mysterious admiration for the very capable Shen Mingzhu.

What's more, Shen Mingzhu also agreed to help him open a restaurant.

My younger sister asked his wife to go back to the countryside to raise chickens and rabbits. There must be a good reason for this.

"Yuemei, you have to listen to me. What if I make you unhappy and she doesn't want to open the restaurant for me?"

Jia Yuemei stared blankly at her husband who usually obeyed her in everything, and suddenly came to her senses.

In this family, what her husband and her mother-in-law say has no say.

Only the sister-in-law Shen Mingzhu has the final say.
