In the end, Feng Qianqian still didn't get to ride in Yun Jin's new car.
No matter how much they resent her, Yun Jin will not give in.
It's not like she's having a difficult labor and we have to drive her to the hospital as quickly as possible. Judging from Feng Qianqian's condition, she doesn't look like she's about to give birth.
Feng Qianqian didn't want to take the tricycle either, but with the help of Sister-in-law He, she got on the motorcycle and went to the hospital while holding onto He Ziqian's shoulders.
When I got to the hospital for a checkup, it turned out to be a false alarm.
It wasn't that her water broke, it was that she urinated.
Feng Qianqian felt extremely ashamed.
Since she couldn't be delivered prematurely, and it was much better to be cared for inside the womb than outside, Feng Qianqian could only slink back home dejectedly.
When Brother He and his wife saw them return, they asked, "Why are you back? Haven't you given birth yet?"
He Ziqian said irritably, "It's all her fault. She's so dramatic. I thought she was going into labor, but it turns out she wasn't."
Brother He and Sister-in-law He were disappointed, as they had hoped to see their grandson soon.
Mother He said, "If you haven't given birth yet, you haven't given birth yet. You'll give birth eventually. You've been up all night, so get some rest. Qianqian, take good care of yourself. I'll make you some pork ribs tomorrow."
Feng Qianqian smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Grandma. It's all my fault for making everyone feel scared."
"It's good that you're alright. In the future, you should also speak up if you feel unwell. Don't blame your aunt for not taking you to the hospital tonight." Mrs. He didn't think Yun Jin had done anything wrong.
If Feng Qianqian weren't pregnant with the He family's child, He's mother wouldn't have been willing to live under the same roof with her.
Mother He had heard Yun Jin talk about what Feng Qianqian did to her when she was pregnant in the family compound. It was a certainty that Feng Qianqian was imprisoned for trying to harm a pregnant woman.
If it weren't for the daughter-in-law's good manners, things would have broken out long ago, and the two families wouldn't be as harmonious as they are now.
Mother He is very content, but some people are not.
For example, He Ziqian.
Taking this opportunity, He Ziqian said, "Grandma, you've seen it too. It's really inconvenient not having a car. My aunt has a car, but none of us help her. I thought it would be better if others had one than if I had one myself."
Mrs. He listened expressionlessly, knowing that her eldest grandson was up to something again.
He Ziqian continued, "I know new cars are expensive and I can't afford them. I'm thinking of buying a used car, which can be done for tens of thousands of yuan."
Mrs. He knew it was aimed at her: "If you have the money, go ahead and buy it. Grandma supports you."
He Ziqian smiled ingratiatingly: "All my money is in the shop. Grandma, how about lending me a few tens of thousands of yuan? I'll buy a car and take you for a drive."
Grandma He refused outright: "Grandma is too old to go for a drive, so forget about it. As for borrowing money, Grandma doesn't have any. You're all grown up and working now, shouldn't you be taking care of Grandma?"
Mother He took the initiative and said, "How about this, you can eat and live at my house from now on, and I'll charge you per person, five yuan per person per month for living expenses, starting this month."
He Ziqian: "...I don't eat at home often."
“If you put it that way, Grandma will have to do some serious calculations for you.”
Mother He looked like she was settling old scores, which scared He Ziqian so much that he waved his hand and said, "Five yuan is five yuan. We'll have ten yuan for the two of us. I'll pay you when I get my salary. It's getting late, everyone should go to sleep!"
He then took his wife back to rest, afraid of being asked for money.
Brother He and Sister-in-law He are also going back.
Mrs. He stopped them: "Whenever you get your salary, hand over your living expenses. I will ask Nian Gao's mother for it. I won't let your family be the only ones paying for living expenses."
Brother He nodded.
Sister-in-law He was unhappy, but she couldn't show it.
It's only right to pay living expenses; many families live together and everyone has to pay living expenses for their elders.
Previously, He's parents were willing to subsidize them, so they didn't charge them living expenses.
Now that Mrs. He is unwilling, they have to pay out of their own pockets.
To avoid having to ask them for money every time something happens, since their money doesn't grow on trees.
Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao to bed early. The next day at breakfast, after hearing He Zizhen talk about what happened last night, she handed over the living expenses for the three of them to He's mother in front of everyone else.
Mrs. He held up fifteen yuan and asked, "That's too much."
“It’s not much. Doubao needs money to eat at home too. Mom, keep it. Our Doubao doesn’t eat for free,” Yun Jin said.
Mother He smiled and patted Doubao's head as he wagged his tail: "That's right, our Doubao doesn't eat for free. Doubao also pays his living expenses."
Doubao, whose name was called, barked: "Woof!"
The other few people who hadn't paid their living expenses yet were too embarrassed to speak up.
In the end, it was Brother He who paid for the money for the family of three.
Seeing that he and his wife were missing, He Ziqian couldn't help but ask, "Dad, am I still your son?"
"I wish you weren't like that; you should pay for your own living expenses." Brother He finished eating and left.
Sister-in-law He couldn't find anyone to yell at.
Only He Ziqian hadn't paid his living expenses yet. Little Niangao asked with a smile, "Grandma, does that mean I can't eat at home if I don't pay my living expenses?"
Mrs. He nodded.
Little Rice Cake pointed at He Ziqian and Feng Qianqian: "They didn't pay, so they won't get lunch."
Mrs. He agreed: "Okay, you can supervise."
Little Rice Cake proudly patted his chest: "I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
Enraged, Feng Qianqian took out her own savings and gave it to He's mother: "Grandma, this is our husband's food allowance. Please keep it."
Mrs. He accepted the money without ceremony and said to Xiao Niangao, "Alright, you've been dismissed. Everyone has paid their living expenses, so you can all eat at home!"
Little Rice Cake lamented, "Oh, my life is so miserable!"
Her pitiful sigh amused Yun Jin and Mother He.
He Zizhen almost burst out laughing.
