"Xiaomi is almost five years old, but there is still no news from your sister's pregnancy. The Du family... well, they are pushing her too hard, and as a result, Xiaomai is not well received. Now your sister runs outside all the time, and the Du family is even more dissatisfied." In the evening, after everyone had rested, Liu Fen and Lin Qingping talked between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"What's Du Gen's attitude?" Lin Qingping has seen enough of the coldness of life. Men play a key role in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Genzi is okay and has been helping your sister. Genzi also feels guilty about your sister. Three years ago, your sister got pregnant and lost the baby while working in the fields. If Genzi wasn't lazy, why would she, a pregnant woman, work so hard in the fields? Since then, your sister hasn't gotten pregnant again."
Liu Fen sighed, stole a glance at Lin Qingping's face, and tentatively said, "This evening I was watering the vegetable garden, and Xiaomai came running over crying, saying that her family needed to take care of her younger brother and didn't want her anymore. The little girl's crying made me feel so sad."
"Raising a younger brother?" Lin Qingping wondered, where did Xiaomai get a younger brother? Didn't Gu Youlian give birth to a child?
Liu Fen sighed again, "Your sister's mother-in-law has proposed to adopt her nephew several times."
Lin Qingping was stunned. Was this a replica of her previous life?
"Has my sister agreed?" she asked hurriedly.
"Of course not. Genzi wouldn't agree either. But as long as your sister doesn't give birth to a child, this matter won't be possible. Alas..." Liu Fen was worried.
"Mom, having a child depends on fate. You can't worry about it."
"Of course I know... I'm still worried..." Liu Fen looked at Lin Qingping again, "I'm worried about Xiaomai, and whether she's having a hard time in the Du family..."
Lin Qingping understood from her mother-in-law's probing look, "Mom, do you want Xiaomai to live in our house?"
Liu Fen was a little panicked. "When your sister and brother-in-law were away, I was worried that the Du family wouldn't be able to take care of Xiaomai. Since you were away at the time, I took the child home to take care of him. When you come back, I'll let your sister take the child back. I won't cause you any trouble, and I'll pay for the child's upbringing."
How to say it?
Lin Qingping had raised someone else's child in her previous life, but it didn't end well for her. In this life, she is raising Zhiyuan because she knows what Zhiyuan looks like when he is 50 years old. Xiaomai is fine now, but she can't see what the child will be like in the future. However, she will not stop her mother-in-law from doing this, simply because Xiaomai is Gu Juncheng's niece.
As for what Xiaomai will become in the future, it all depends on fate. You can't just throw the baby out with the bathwater because of her good parents and good brother in her previous life. In this life, you should make everyone become ruthless and heartless in advance. If good bamboo produces bad bamboo shoots, you should stop the loss in time.
"No problem! Zhiyuan is taking enlightenment classes, so let Xiaomai learn with him." She agreed readily.
Liu Fen was obviously shocked again. This daughter-in-law had really changed so much since the summer. There used to be a Zhiyuan in the family, but his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
"Why should a girl start school so early..." Liu Fen was so touched by her daughter-in-law's understanding that her eyes turned red and she smiled so hard that she didn't know what to do.
"Only girls should study! Mom, I don't care what others do, but our children must study hard!" Lin Qingping said solemnly.
"Okay! I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you!" Why would Liu Fen disagree? Studying is such a good thing, and her daughter-in-law supports it. How can she, as a grandmother, object?
"By the way, you weren't at home during the New Year, so you have to go back to your mother's house tomorrow. You should also go to Du Gen's house in a couple of days, as Du Gen's mother is celebrating her birthday." Liu Fen reminded her.
Lin Qingping nodded to indicate that he understood.
After chatting with her mother-in-law, Lin Qingping went back to her room.
The second sister hasn't gone to bed yet. She is looking at the picture album she brought back with great interest.
At the end of the day, the two sisters finally had time to talk.
"I went home to celebrate New Year's Eve and took away two bags of candy, a piece of meat, and 50 yuan. You said it was given to me by you." The second sister reported to her.
Lin Qingping thought that this was perfect, she wouldn't have to go back.
Lin Qingping then talked about the old teachers in the school and this basic picture album.
"Sister, that teacher is from a big city. He knows everything. He taught Zhiyuan and me a lot of things we didn't know. He also taught me to draw. Sister, you are right. There really is an art college where I can learn to design clothes. I want to apply to such a university!" After having a goal, the second sister's eyes were full of light.
Lin Qingping was very pleased that her second sister had an ideal. The Lin Qingyun in front of her was completely different from the Lin Zhaodi last year who was tanned and red by the sun and was so shy and timid that she didn't dare to speak.
"But how did you become familiar with the teacher? Did Zhiyuan take you there?" Lin Qingping remembered that Zhiyuan kept this old man a secret.
"It's Zhiyuan's..." Second Sister thought for a moment, "Friends regardless of age difference, yes, that's what the teacher said. A few days ago, the teacher was sick, and Zhiyuan was anxious, so he took the money to the township clinic to buy medicine. I noticed something was wrong, and I followed him all the way to find out. I saw that the teacher lived alone and it was very desolate, and his clothes were all torn, so I helped him mend them and made him a new cotton-padded jacket. I think he taught Zhiyuan so many words, so he should be thanked, sister, what do you think?"
Lin Qingping nodded, knowing that her second sister meant to help her because Zhiyuan was her and Gu Juncheng's child.
"Just do what you think is right." She hopes that her second sister will live a free and unfettered life.
"Sister, aren't you going to take the exam? Will you go to school with me?" Lin Qingyun leaned on her shoulder and was very intimate with her.
"Okay!" Of course she had to take the exam. She had never attended a full-time university in her previous life. Although she took many courses after she started her business, it was completely different.
On Du Gen's mother's birthday, Du Gen and Gu Youlian returned from the factory.
They didn't know that Xiaomai had come to Gu's house. When Gu Youlian hurried to her parents' house to pick up the child, the Gu family was already on the way to Du's house, and Gu Youlian met them on the road.
"Mom..." Xiaomai's eyes turned red when she saw Gu Youlian.
Gu Youlian didn't know why Xiaomai came to her grandmother's house, so Lin Qingping pulled her aside to talk.
When Gu Youlian heard that Xiaomai had come to her grandmother's house alone, she felt upset. When Lin Qingping mentioned the Du family's adoption again, Gu Youlian was so angry that she almost cried!
"I just want to ask you, what are your plans?" Lin Qingping was not in a position to make the decision for her.
Gu Youlian was angry and sad, but the idea that a boy was necessary to carry on the family line was deeply rooted in her mind. She had not been able to give birth to a child for five years, and she felt even more upset and sorry for Du Gen.
Lin Qingping knew from the look on her face that she was moved.
