BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37 - 37: Every Family Has Its Own Difficult Sutra
The next day, the three of them had breakfast and took the car to the county town.
“Sister-in-law, where’s Jiajia? Did you drop her off at the kindergarten?” Qin Xue thought about asking Yu Xiu for help in selling clothes, but there would be no one to take care of Jiajia.
“Her dad will drop her off later. We can just go, she’ll be fine.” Yu Xiu was not worried about Xu Fangzhou dropping Jiajia off at kindergarten.
“That’s good. If things become stable later on, the child can come to the city to study, but the journeys back and forth in the morning and evening are a bit
inconvenient.”
Qin Xue plans to buy a house in the city when she makes some money in the future.
It is so inconvenient to travel back and forth like this. Thankfully, she doesn’t get carsick, or just sitting in the car would be very miserable.
“There’s no other option. When the holiday comes, I will send Jiajia to my parents’ house.
In the future, she can go to school there, and I can give them living expenses every month. I can also visit her after work.”
It’s not that Yu Xiu does not want to send her daughter to her in-laws’ house, it’s just that her in-laws favor their younger brother, and everything is focused on him. Sending Jiajia back there would not be comfortable, so it is better to send her to her parent’s house.
“That’s a good choice. Yu Xiu’s in-laws are indeed partial. It’s better to send Jiajia back to her mother’s house.
Now that you are earning money, give them some living expenses, and save some money for the children’s education and college. That will be a turning point.” Fang Hong also knows a bit about Yu Xiu’s in-law’s situation.
Her in-laws are biased towards Xu Fangzhou’s brothers in their town, and their financial assistance goes to the youngest. From time to time, Xu Fangzhou has to send money back to them. Fortunately, Xu Fangzhou is a good husband.
Yu Xiu’s parents also live in the city. She and Fang Hong are classmates and also know Xie Jun.
Xie Jun and Fang Hong had invited Xu Fangzhou and Yu Xiu to their wedding, and they became acquainted, getting married through an introduction.
Fang Hong’s family is somewhat more difficult than Yu Xiu’s, so Fang Hong only finished middle school, while Yu Xiu completed high school. In this era, having connections after graduating high school could lead to becoming a teacher.
However, Yu Xiu became pregnant not long after getting married. She then gave birth to her eldest son, Hu Zi, and shortly after that, her second child, Jiajia. She never went back to work, relying on Xu Fangzhou’s salary; their life was tight as a result.
Now that Qin Xue is helping out, it’s a good thing even though both their husbands have higher positions than Qin Xue’s husband.
Now that they’re working with Qin Xue to make and sell clothes, Fang Hong and Yu Xiu have no other ideas than gratitude to Qin Xue.
It is only now that Qin Xue finds out that Yu Xiu also has biased in-laws, and she does not get along well with her mother-in-law. It seems that every family has its difficulties.
When the three of them arrived at the shop, Fang Xiu had already opened the door and was making breakfast. Her son Jingtao was playing with his fingers by her side and was not crying or making a fuss.
He is so well-behaved, white and tender, and very cute.
The three of them opened the door of the clothing store, cleaned up, and Qin Xue played with Jingtao since there were no customers yet.
“Taotao, come give aunty a kiss.” With that, she kissed Jingtao on the cheek.
Jingtao giggled non-stop, and Qin Xue kissed him again after he finished laughing. She only stopped teasing him when he was about to laugh until he couldn’t breathe.
“Qin Xue, you love children so much. You and Mr. Chu should have two of your own in the future.” Yu Xiu thought Qin Xue liked Jiajia and was now playing with Jingtao.
“Well, sister-in-law, when my baby is born, it will be enough. How can I bring up so many?
However, Sister Fang Hong can have another.’”‘ Qin Xue knew that soon there would be a planned birth policy of one child per family, emphasizing eugenics, especially for those with stable jobs.
“Hey, don’t talk about me. Focus on yourself.” Fang Hong also wanted to have another baby girl, but she couldn’t get pregnant after having her first child.
“Haven’t you gotten pregnant yet? What did the doctor say?”
Yu Xiu and Fang Hong were classmates and got along very well. They both married people who lived in the same housing complex.
The two of them didn’t gossip with the other women; they helped each other out when needed. So, Yu Xiu knew that Fang Hong wanted another child but couldn’t get pregnant.
“What could they say? Nothing’s wrong with me. They said I have a large deficit, and need to restore my body slowly. I’ve taken so many medicines, but nothing works. I’m not even thinking about it anymore. I’ll just leave it to fate.” Fang Hong was very frustrated..
