Chapter 160 Life is tough
Life in the countryside is tough these days; lots of people are starving to death.
Since marrying into the city, Liu Feng has never cared about her family in the countryside, and they hate her to death.
In short, she can't go back to her parents' home.
As for his in-laws, He Quan has already decided to divorce Liu Feng, but it's fine if they don't.
She kicked the couple out of the house, telling them not to get in her way again.
"As long as there are no problems, we are fine too. Let's get things done as soon as possible. Yinhua, how about tomorrow? Let Liu Feng and Tianhua go to the textile factory to complete the procedures tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Qin knew about Wang Yinhua's abilities.
It is said that there is much gossip and trouble around a widow's door.
Not to mention a beautiful widow.
If you didn't have some skills, how could you raise three children and get them jobs?
Wang Yinhua thought the same way; the sooner the matter was resolved, the sooner she could feel at ease.
She nodded. "Don't worry, Auntie, the job is settled."
……
After agreeing on the terms, Wang Yinhua didn't leave immediately. Instead, she placed a bulging cloth bag in her hand into her daughter's hand.
"Mom is thinking that your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you probably won't be able to wear many of your old clothes anymore."
"So I made you a new set of clothes, which will at least allow you to wear them until the baby is over six months old. If they don't fit by then, Mom will alter them to make them bigger so you can still wear them."
"Try it in a bit and see if it fits. If it doesn't, Mom will take it back and modify it."
These days, fabric is hard to come by.
Luckily, she worked in a textile factory and could get some defective fabric, so her family wasn't short of clothes. In other families, they probably wouldn't have a single new piece of clothing all year round.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll try it later." Xu Sui changed the subject and asked about Jinbao, "Mom, how's Jinbao doing? Is he feeling better?"
Mentioning this, Wang Yinhua's expression softened, and she even breathed a sigh of relief. "Your grandmother is willing to help. She said she'll only treat the patient, but it will take more time."
"Speaking of which, you probably don't know this, but your grandmother is a senior traditional Chinese medicine doctor who is also registered at the county hospital."
"I heard that the director of the county hospital personally went to her home to invite her to work at the hospital. They originally wanted her to be the director, but she said she was too old."
"They rejected it, but the hospital still didn't want to let go of such a good person as your grandmother, so they compromised a few times and agreed to let her go to the hospital only once or twice a month to see a few patients."
"The salary and benefits are the same as those of a regular TCM doctor. Except for not being eligible for housing, everything else is provided."
She had previously wondered how the old lady, living alone, could support another mouth to feed.
It turns out that the person in question has a job, but few people usually know it.
Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, as she really didn't know about this.
"real?"
"Grandma is so amazing."
From the moment the old lady began treating Qin Yunzhou's leg, she felt that the old lady was no ordinary person, but she never expected that she would underestimate the old lady's abilities.
Wang Yinhua was also surprised. She sighed and said, "Of course it's true. Your grandmother has always been a capable person."
"Don't forget, she single-handedly supported the entire Xu Family Pharmacy back then."
"When your father was still alive, I heard him say that although your grandmother was a bit strong-willed, she was actually a very good person."
"When the Japanese invaders attacked our area, countless people were killed or wounded. Your grandmother took the initiative to use most of the family's wealth to treat the wounded and sick."
As she was talking, Wang Yinhua suddenly remembered something else, "Your grandmother probably doesn't need anyone to take care of her. She took in Xiuer because she felt sorry for her."
"While you and Yunzhou are still in your hometown, visit your grandma more often. Once you return to your unit, it will be difficult to see her again."
The son-in-law is just back in his hometown recuperating from his injuries; he hasn't retired from the military.
The house the young couple was allocated in the military is still there. In less than a year, after they have a child, the young couple will definitely take the child back to the military base.
The old lady is not young now; she's already over sixty.
Once the young couple returns to their military unit, they probably won't be able to see each other again.
Xu Sui pursed her lips and nodded. "Don't worry, Mom, I know. We'll visit Grandma often."
Wang Yinhua held her daughter's hand, leaned closer and whispered, "Also, when you go to your grandma's house, pay more attention to that girl named Xiuer."
"When I went over last night, I noticed that the way she looked at you was a little different."
"As the old saying goes, you should always be careful. Remember this when you go to your grandma's house."
The old lady has quite a bit of wealth. Putting aside everything else, her little courtyard alone is enough to make many people envious. Even Liu Feng has had designs on the old lady's courtyard. I don't know where she got the nerve.
Wang Yinhua herself came from the countryside and married into the city.
To be honest, her desire to marry into the city back then was driven by a desire to climb the social ladder, escape the poverty of the countryside, and marry a good man.
If she had met a wealthy old lady back then who had no relatives, she would definitely have clung to the old lady's leg without hesitation.
Take good care of her and try to get her to stay in the city. Either help her find a good partner, or leave her some things after she passes away.
Some people are even more ruthless than her; they might covet all of her assets and treat her other relatives as enemies who have robbed her of her money.
Of course, there are also people who don't want anything, they just want a way to survive.
I don't know which type that girl named Xiuer is.
However, it's always good to be on the safe side.
Xu Sui thought for a moment, but didn't comment much on Wang Xiuer. She just nodded and said, "Mom, I understand."
The old lady is getting on in years, so it's definitely better to have someone take care of her, in case anything happens.
As for whether Wang Xiuer had any other intentions.
She thought that the old lady had lived for so many years, she must understand things better than they did.
The mother and daughter closed the door and talked for a while longer.
As she spoke, Wang Yinhua's gaze fell on Xu Sui's increasingly large belly. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it, then sighed and said:
"The Qin family always seems to have twins. Your mother-in-law was like that back then, and you are like that now too."
"It's only four months old, but it looks like it's five or six months old."
"Sui Sui, you've been feeling alright lately, haven't you?"
She still remembers how tumultuous it was when Tian Hua was pregnant with Qin Hai and Qin Yan. She vomited constantly, couldn't eat anything, and couldn't sleep well. Her feet were swollen like pig's trotters.
Everyone is as lucky as Tianhua, who suddenly became pregnant with twins. Wherever she goes, people envy Tianhua.
But who saw the suffering Tianhua endured while pregnant with twins?
