"Daddy,
You didn't go out after you came back, did you? "A very cute girl ran in front of Xia Zhi,
She asked.
"What's Wrong?" Xia Zhi picked up the girl,
And put her on his shoulder.
"Grandma is willing to make meat when you come back,
Rourou wants to eat meat every day, "the girl said in a childish voice.
Xia Zhi's face drooped,
He looked at his wife who walked in,
He said, "Did Mom make things difficult for you again?"
"No, it's just that the dishes aren't good, and I don't have much milk,
This child can't even eat enough. "The woman looked at the child in her arms. Unfortunately,
It was another girl,
She didn't know before,
Her mother-in-law favored boys over girls. At that time, she saw that her mother-in-law treated her sister-in-law quite well, so she thought that her mother-in-law didn't favor boys over girls, but..,
After she gave birth to two daughters..,
Her mother-in-law changed. When she gave birth to the children,
Her mother-in-law didn't even take care of her during her confinement. She relied on Xia Zhi,
But Xia Zhi had to go to work during the day,
He could only come back at night,
She really suffered a lot at that time.
"It's all my fault. It's been hard on you. When we save enough money, we'll move out. Maybe we shouldn't have been so quick to give birth to the second child." Xia Zhi sighed. They had almost saved enough money for the down payment, but when the second child was born, they were back to square one.
The woman's face was also filled with worry. It was all her fault. If only she had resisted the pressure at that time. Xia Zhi had already strongly said that he didn't want it, but she couldn't resist the pressure of her mother-in-law and got pregnant again.
"Well, you take care of Xiaoxi first. I'll take Rourou out for a walk and buy you a pig's trotter. We can't let our child starve." His mother had no milk, so he would have to eat powdered milk, which would cost a lot of money. When would he be able to save enough money for the down payment? Or he could just rent a house outside, so that his mother would not always make things difficult for his daughter-in-law. If his sister was still alive, his mother would not force everything on him.
"Mmm." The woman nodded obediently. She also wanted to move out. At that time, she had almost saved enough money for the down payment. As long as she borrowed a little more money, she might be able to move out. It was all her fault.
Xia Zhi stared at his eldest daughter as she walked out. Xia Zhi's mother saw it.
"Do you want to die? Put the child down. You're a man, but you're carrying a little girl. Aren't you afraid of bad luck?" Xia Zhi's mother was very unhappy and quickly said.
"She's not someone else. She's my daughter. Mom, you're a woman too. Do you have to be like this? I'm going out. "Xia Zhi was unhappy.
"It's almost time for dinner. Where are you going?" Xia Zhi's mother asked quickly.
"I'm going to the market." Xia Zhi couldn't be bothered with his mother. The older he got, the more he liked to talk about retirement. It wasn't as if he didn't have money. Not to mention this house, his mother and father also had some savings. When his sister got into an accident, the airline lost a lot of money. They also had some savings left by his sister. As for being stingy, he didn't even want to cook meat for them.
"Look, the older he gets, the more disobedient he becomes. What hope do we have in the future?" Xia Zhi's mother complained to Xia Fu, who was reading the newspaper. "If Xiaolu was still around, she could have helped us persuade our son. Now, our son has been kidnapped by that vixen."
"Enough. Didn't I say that I'm going to cook dinner? Hurry up and prepare." At the mention of his daughter, Xia Fu's heart was full of anger. If she hadn't been urged, why would his daughter have gone out? Once she went out, she wouldn't have come back. Xia Fu was now in contact with his old relatives and friends. If it hadn't been for them, his daughter wouldn't have left the city.
Xia Zhi's mother also sighed and turned back to the kitchen to cook.
Before dinner, Xia Zhi bought the pig trotters back and placed them in the kitchen. He said, "Mom, stew the pig trotters later."
"Why did you buy that thing? It's so expensive." Xia Zhi's mother was unhappy.
"It's for my wife to eat. It's good for her milk," Xia Zhi said directly.
"We didn't skimp on her food and clothes. Now, she doesn't even have milk. So what if we serve her well? She still doesn't have a grandson." Xia Zhi's mother's expression was very ugly as she glared fiercely at her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, you're also educated. What does having a boy or a girl have to do with my wife? It's all because of me. Your son can't have a boy. You can blame your son, but why are you blaming your son's daughter-in-law?" Xia Zhi was unhappy. His mother was simply getting more and more overboard.
"You unfilial son. Who did I do so much for? If your sister was still around …" Xia Zhi's mother was angry at Xia Zhi's words and directly mentioned Xia Lu.
"Don't talk about my sister. If it weren't for you, would something have happened to my sister? Didn't my sister just break off the engagement? Do you have to force her? Do you have to drag her to blind dates? Is my sister so embarrassing at home? If she keeps saying that she's an old girl, others will think that there's a problem with her not getting married at her age. Is she eating other people's rice? It's not like she's living for others to see. Is face so important? "At the mention of his sister, Xia Zhi's anger flared up.
The atmosphere in the Xia family suddenly froze.
"Okay, let's eat. Xia Zhi, your mother is ignorant. Don't argue with her. After all, she's your mother," Xia Fu persuaded.
Suppressing his annoyance, Xia Zhi picked up some food for his daughter. It was simply unreasonable.
For Xia Zhi's wife, her sister-in-law was indeed the pain of her husband's family. At that time, she was together with her husband, so she was very clear about what happened to her sister-in-law. After her sister-in-law broke off the engagement with her fiancé, she stayed at home. Immediately, all kinds of relatives wanted to introduce her to someone. Furthermore, her mother-in-law forced her sister-in-law to go on blind dates. Before her sister-in-law could even walk out of the shadow of her previous relationship, she was forced to go on blind dates by her mother-in-law. The blind dates were not good people either. They were all ugly and all kinds of weirdos. Her sister-in-law was almost angered to death.
When her sister-in-law refused to go on blind dates, those people even said that she was already so old, so why was she still so picky? She should quickly find someone to settle down with. Her mother-in-law also felt that her sister-in-law should quickly get married. In the end, her sister-in-law was so angry that she applied to be transferred to another city. At that time, her husband almost couldn't take it anymore and wanted to kill someone.
She felt that her sister-in-law was quite good. She had her own job and earned a lot. She was also a senior executive in the company. She was a typical career woman and her role model. She was not like her, who got married less than two years after graduation. After getting married, she got pregnant. After getting pregnant, she left her job and focused on taking care of the baby. Her elder sister-in-law was only two years old, but she was pregnant with her younger sister-in-law. She did not have a job and had been staying at home to take care of the baby.
Fortunately, Shia Zhi wasn't the kind of person who didn't care about anything when she earned money to support the family. Otherwise, with a mother-in-law who valued boys over girls and a husband who didn't care about anything, she would collapse at any moment.
After being scolded by Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi's mother could not take it anymore and complained to her best friend.
"Don't you still want to have a grandson? Just let your wife have another child. They are still young anyway, "said her best friend.
"We already have two children. Then we will have to pay a fine." Xia Zhi's mother remembered the fine she received when she gave birth to Xia Zhi. Not only did she lose her job, but she also had to take everything away. Her family was left with nothing. Fortunately, her father was lucky enough to catch up with the reform.
"Your eldest daughter's household registration was not revoked, right? If you put one child under your eldest daughter's name, you can have three children. If you adopt a child, your eldest daughter's bloodline will not be cut off. In the future, there will be someone to pray for her. Isn't that good?" Xia Zhi's mother's best friend suggested.
"This is a good idea. Let me think about it." Xia Zhi's mother felt that this was a good idea. Her daughter-in-law must give birth to a son for the Xia family. Otherwise, don't blame her for beating Yuan Yang.
The next morning, Xia Zhi went to work. Xia Zhi's mother directly said to Xia Zhi's wife in the morning, "The child will be six months old soon. You and Xia Ji should prepare to have another child."
"Another child?" Xia Ji looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and felt that it was unbelievable.
"Our Xia Ji doesn't have a son yet. Of course, we have to have one," Xia Zhi's mother said matter-of-factly.
"But if we have another child, we will be fined." Xia Zhi's wife naturally refused to have another child. However, she couldn't persuade her mother-in-law, so she could only use an excuse to refute.
"You don't have to worry about that. You just have another child." Xia Zhi's mother didn't intend to let Xia Zhi's wife know about her plan. Even if they were fined, so what? Their family could afford it. She and her old man had saved hundreds of thousands of yuan over the years. There was also the compensation for Xia Lu's plane crash and Xia Lu's savings from all these years of work.
Xia Zhi's wife was very anxious. She didn't want to have another child. Having two children was enough. However, she couldn't refute her mother-in-law. She only said, "Wait for my husband to come back and discuss it with him."
Xia Zhi's mother also knew that her daughter-in-law couldn't make the decision. It was still up to Xia Zhi to decide. When they were having a second child, Xia Zhi strongly opposed it. If they didn't have a second child, if Xia Zhi didn't do a good job, they wouldn't be able to have another child. No matter what, Xia Zhi had to have a son. Otherwise, when they were all daughters, who would take care of Xia Zhi when he was old? She did so much for the sake of the children. When the time came, she would close her eyes and not be able to enjoy it.
When Xia Zhi came back, he heard from his mother that they were going to have a third child.
"No." Xia Zhi firmly refused.
"Who am I doing this for? Who will take care of you in the future?" Xia Zhi's mother was angry.
"Go and pack your things. We can't live in this house anymore. Let's move out today," Xia Zhi directly said to his wife.
"Don't you dare!" Xia Zhi's mother immediately said.
Well, it's a mother-in-law who takes care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement period, not an obligation. You refused to help, and we didn't say anything. If I didn't come back, the food in the house would be bland. My daughter-in-law didn't even have any milk, and the child didn't have any food. At that time, you said that if she gave birth to a second child, I would also help raise it. At that time, the child's food, clothing, housing, and transportation would all be covered by you. Now that the child has been born, have you ever given it to her? Now you're coaxing us to have a third child. If it's a daughter, are you going to ask us to have a fourth child? Anyway, you don't need to spend money or effort. You just need to say something, "Xia Zhi said angrily.
"Is it because of this woman? What kind of bewitching potion did she give you? Who am I doing this for?" Xia Zhi's mother blamed everything on Xia Zhi's wife.
"It's for yourself. You are selfish. Go and pack your things." Xia Zhi asked his wife and children to pack their things in the house. He would bear his mother's anger alone.
"I'm doing all this for your own good. Without a son, who will take care of you in the future?" Xia Zhi's mother cried.
"A third child? Where will the money for the fine come from? I don't have the ability to use the money that my sister used to buy her life to pay for it. But I won't use the money that my sister used to buy her life, "Xia Zhi said with red eyes.
"We can put one child under your sister's name. We don't have to use the money that your sister left behind." Xia Zhi's mother was anxious.
"Haha, you really used my sister thoroughly. Now, for a grandson, you can do this. Aren't you afraid that my sister will come to find you in the middle of the night? You killed my sister, and this time, you want to put my child under her name. Just for a grandson, my sister is so pitiful. That's why she became your daughter. I won't have another child.
With Xia Zhi's help, the packing speed increased. When Xia Zhi and his family finished packing, they walked past Xia Zhi's mother and opened the door to leave. When they went downstairs, they saw Xia Fu waiting for them.
Xia Fu took out a card from his clothes and handed it to Xia Zhi. "This is some of my private money. The password is your birthday. Take it. Your mother has become more and more extreme these years. Your sister's death was a big blow to her. Live a good life after moving out. Call me if you have any difficulties."
"Dad, I don't want it. You take it." Xia Zhi quickly refused.
"Take it. It's not much. You still have children to raise. There are many things you need to spend money on." Xia Fu put the card in Xia Zhi's hand. On one side was his wife, and on the other side was his son. There was little he could do.
Xia Zhi took the card and left with his wife and children. Every time he came back, he would only visit during the holidays.
Chen Minghao did not marry again. When he was in his sixties, Chen Minghao handed the company to his adopted son and retired. He raised a dog and a cat. When he took the dog and cat for a walk, he met his former business partner.
"Did you know? Old Master Yang passed away. The whole family is fighting over the inheritance. "
Old Master Yang. Chen Minghao thought carefully. So it was him. That little disciple's husband should be in his nineties this year. His little disciple was in her fifties now. "What happened?"
"Old Master Yang was also treacherous. His wife had been with him since she was in her thirties. It has been twenty years now, but she did not get anything except a few hundred thousand in cash. She did not even have a house. After the inheritance was divided, his wife was chased out by his children. When his wife was with him, he was already old and did not have any children. She only had a few hundred thousand, and it was squandered in less than two years. What was she going to do in the future?
Chen Minghao thought about it. He had retired a long time ago, so it had nothing to do with him. He would rather walk his dog and cat.
