Chapter 74: Come to the Door
Sister-in-law Yu Gaozhu really couldn't understand it. She felt that if she were Pu Fen, she would definitely not have the face to accept her sister's offer to raise a child for her so easily.
This is her own child, not Pu Xiang's. How can she have the face to let others raise him for her?
But Yu Gaozhu thought about what Pu Xiang said and felt that it was indeed something Pu Fen could do.
When thinking about Pu Xiang's child, Yu Gaozhu thought of Shi Jiajie.
Pu Xiang even took Shen Xiaoyan to live with him and let her go to school in the county town. Her own son still lived in the village and attended primary school in the town.
Yu Gaozhu also mentioned: "Third sister, didn't your former father-in-law come to the opening of your new store last time? He also brought Jiajie with him. Did he say anything afterward?"
Pu Xiang shook her head: "Nothing to say, if he wants to come, then come. Anyway, when we got divorced, everything was settled clearly, and he can't ask me for anything."
Yu Gaozhu said, "What about the child? Didn't they ask you to bring him to the county town to go to school?"
Pu Xiang finally understood what her sister-in-law meant. Her sister-in-law probably felt that since she even took care of her second sister's children, there was no reason for her not to take care of her own children.
She said: "The Shi family will not come to look for me. I have to go to the county town to study and get a new hukou. My ex-father-in-law would rather hold the gold in his hand than exchange it for a house."
Having been a family member for so many years, how could she not know?
Why don't you live in such a big house in the village and move to the city?
Spending so little money to buy such a small house is not even comfortable to live in.
This was his view on buying a house in the county town. Even in the countless years that followed, when house prices continued to rise, he did not feel that his choice was wrong.
Pu Xiang took care of the child's education, tuition, and living expenses. She tried every possible way to transfer him to a good school, find a teacher for him, and give him extra lessons.
Shi Hai didn't pay any attention to any of this.
When it comes to children and education, he is always cheerful.
"The children are smart, so we don't have to worry about them."
Later, when Shi Jiajie was admitted to university, Shi Hai said one more thing besides this:
"The old Shi family has good genes, like the Shi family, smart."
How could a man like Shi Hai want to transfer his grandson's household registration to his ex-daughter-in-law's name so that he could go to school in the county town without his knowledge?
Want your child to go to college? That doesn't exist.
What if the household registration is changed and the grandson is taken away and his surname is changed?
Is he still the grandson of their Shi family?
Therefore, even if Shi Hai had some idea, he would not let his grandson follow his mother to the county town.
Pu Xiang had once put in so much effort, but in the end the credit was attributed to the Shi family's smart genes. This time, she completely let herself off.
Shi Jiajie was not a studious kid, let alone a good student.
His university was built purely because of Pu Xiang's coercion and the money he spent.
After taking care of it once, Pu Xiang felt that it was enough.
The child has food and drink, will not freeze, has an education to go to, and will not be missing out on the nine-year compulsory education.
The rest is up to him.
Pu Xiang decided to let each other go. She used to control Shi Jiajie, but even when the child grew up, he might not think that her control was right.
If that's the case, why should she do that?
Children are also independent individuals, and she will never say "it's for your own good" again.
But that's how things are in this world, it goes without saying.
Not long after Pu Xiang talked with her sister-in-law Yu Gaozhu, Shi Hai actually came to see her.
Shi Hai went to see Pu Xiang for no other reason than because Shi Jiajie was studying in the county town.
Pu Xiang also brought her second sister's child to the county town to go to school. It was not something she had to hide from others. People kept spreading the news, and finally it reached Shi Hai's ears.
Shi Hai has always been a shrewd man, and he has plans for everything in his mind.
Shi Hai definitely understood the pros and cons of the county, the town, and the village.
In the past, no one in the village left the village, and everyone's ancestors were all busy farming. As a native of the village, Shi Hai's way of thinking naturally follows this line.
Now there is a person named Pu Xiang, a rural woman who has become a boss in the city. She bought a house, changed her household registration, and even brought her relatives' children to the city.
The door to a new world was opened for Shi Hai.
Yes, as long as you have money, you can buy a house in the city and become a city dweller.
Being a city dweller is better than being a country dweller, right?
Before Shi Hai came to find Pu Xiang, he had already inquired about the house prices. A house would cost tens of thousands of yuan. In a better community, and with a larger area, it would cost almost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
This is not a small amount of money.
Shi Hai had the gold and silver passed down from his father, and he lived a comfortable life in the village, but when it came to buying a house, this was not enough.
Unless he is willing to sell all the gold and silver he has and use it to exchange for the house.
Shi Hai is definitely not willing to do this.
He would not feel at ease if he didn't keep this secret in his hands.
So, once this idea was put forward, it was directed to Pu Xiang.
After all, the child is Pu Xiang's biological child. Shi Hai feels that Pu Xiang is a woman, the mother of the child, and no matter how cruel she is, she cannot ignore the child.
She is capable now and no longer relies on men for money to make a living, so whatever he comes to her to do, she can get it done.
When Pu Xiang saw Shi Hai looking for her, she made a guess first.
Sure enough, Shi Hai made a few polite remarks and then went straight to the point.
"Third sister, I came this time to talk to you about your child's schooling. You are in the city now, so you must know more about it than those of us who stay in the village. The schools in the county are definitely better than those in the town. I was thinking, should I transfer your son to the county as well?"
Pu Xiang felt the words "your son" for a while before saying, "I feel relieved that the child is with you. As for the schooling, you guys can decide. I have no objection."
Shi Hai: “…”
That's not the right thing to say. He's her own son. How could a mother not care about him at all?
Besides, Pu Xiang didn't give birth to another child. If she had another biological child, he would understand her behavior, but that didn't happen either, right?
Shi Hai thought for a moment and said, "Third sister, you are always sensible. I know this, but the child's schooling is still a big deal. I have to discuss it with you. It's good that you have no objection. Even if the child has a rural household registration and needs to go to school in the county..."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Pu Xiang.
Pu Xiang just didn't respond, and just looked like she was waiting for the other party to continue.
Shi Hai's monologue was really hard to continue, so he could only say: "This is what I thought. I also bought a house in the county. You know the situation at home. Although I have a little money, I am a country girl and it is hard-earned money. You are the child's mother and your financial conditions are not bad now. Why don't you pay half of it? Of course, this house will definitely be for the child. Da Fu will not take half of it."
Shi Hai found Pu Xiang, and this time Pu Xiang brought him to the office she rented in Times Commercial Street.
All the people in her "Xiang Meiren" brand studio work here, so as the boss, she naturally has to reserve an office here as well.
Pu Xiang asked someone to sit on the reception sofa, and she suddenly stopped talking, as if she was thinking.
While Shi Hai was waiting for her, he looked around the office again, which he had already looked around when he came in.
This really looks like a company, and it really has the style of a boss.
Seeing his ex-daughter-in-law getting better and better, Shi Hai couldn't suppress the resentment and regret that would arise from time to time.
What a great daughter-in-law he chose, but it's a pity that his stupid son doesn't like her!
Shi Hai felt unhappy whenever he thought of his stupid son, but it was a blessing for Lin Meihua to give birth to a son.
In this era of family planning, other families may have only one daughter, and continuing the family line becomes a problem, but his family has two grandsons.
Who wouldn’t be jealous?
Pu Xiang quickly went over the matter in her mind and said bluntly, "Okay, although the child's custody rights belong to the Shi family, I am the child's biological mother after all, and it is impossible for me to really do nothing. However, uncle, you also know that Shi Dafu and I have remarried, and buying a house is not a trivial matter. And you also said that the house will belong to the child in the future, and Shi Dafu will not touch it. So, how about this, I will call Mo Yang, and you will call Shi Dafu and his wife, and we will settle the matter in person, and find a lawyer to write a clear agreement, so as to avoid unpleasantness over money and the house in the future, and put the child in the middle. "
Shi Hai: “…This?”
Pu Xiang made the decision right away: "Uncle, let's do this. This is my office phone number. Before you bring people over, call me a day in advance. I'll bring Mo Yang with me."
"No, no, wait."
Shi Hai waved his hands quickly, "Third sister, there is no need for everyone to sit down and talk about this matter. I will go back and talk to Dafu, and you go back and talk to Mo Yang, that will be enough."
Seeing Pu Xiang standing up as if to see him off, he quickly stood up as well and stopped Pu Xiang.
Pu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid that won't work."
Seeing that this ex-daughter-in-law was really hard to fool, Shi Hai could only click his tongue and said, "Well, then I'll go back first and call you another day... You're really too careful. After all, we're a family!"
Pu Xiang didn't respond.
After waiting for everyone to leave, she sat back at her desk, leaned back and thought.
Shi Hai has already set his sights on her, so he won't give up easily. Moreover, when her business does better in the future and the Shi family becomes more and more dishonorable, he will definitely come to her more often like this.
Therefore, when something like this happens for the first time, she should make her attitude clear.
Don't let people think that she is easy to control.
So, Pu Xiang called Mo Yang and made sure that he could get off work on time tonight, and she made an appointment to go back to the village together.
This was the first time Pu Xiang went back to Shijia Village after her divorce and marriage to Mo Yang.
Pu Xiang rented a car and she had obtained her driver's license not long ago.
He drove directly to pick up Mo Yang, and the two of them had dinner together outside, and then drove back to the village.
Mo Yang saw that Pu Xiang was wearing a red dress today, with her already long curly hair, carrying a leather bag, and driving a car.
He joked: "Boss Pu, are you going to fight today?"
Pu Xiang brushed her hair and said, "That's about it. I just want to make some people jealous."
The more jealous she is, the more she suffers, the more peaceful she will be.
Yes, she was talking about Lin Meihua.
Shi Hai, the shrewd father-in-law, let Lin Meihua, the current daughter-in-law, deal with it instead of looking for her "ex".
