Rebirth and making money first

Seeing that only Achen was waiting for her after get off work, Zhang Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly with him to the station. Seeing that Achen was not in good spirits, she asked him: "What's wrong? Did you not do your work well and get criticized by your boss?"

Achen said no, he just wanted to pick up Zhang Jing from get off work with Alan, but Grandpa was unhappy. "Ajing, can you talk Grandpa down? Alan is a very good friend."

Zhang Jing asked Achen, "Do you prefer being with Alan every day, or with me every day?"

Achen was confused and said, "It would be great if we were all together!"

Zhang Jing then asked, "Who will take care of Alan's parents? Can you cook, do the groceries, and do the laundry? Can you spend every day with Alan and his family?"

"I just want to be with Alan!"

"But Alan can't abandon her parents!"

Zhang Jing added, "You can work together, and then go home to spend time with your families. Wouldn't it be great to be lifelong friends? That way, Grandpa, Dad, and Mom won't object to your relationship!"

Ah Chen thought it made sense, but he couldn't put his finger on why it was wrong. He could only go back to his grandfather's house with Zhang Jing for dinner.

Zhang Jing took out 2000 yuan and handed it to Grandpa: "This is for Achen and me's food expenses, Grandpa, please accept it!" The old man refused to accept it. Zhang Jing explained that Achen and she had special circumstances, and that she needed to trouble Grandpa's nanny and make dinner for two. They both had to pay for this. Sister Xin's work had also increased, so she needed a proper salary increase.

After much arguing, Grandpa finally accepted the money. He told them to save it and take it out when needed. "I'll take care of Sister Xin's salary, you don't have to worry about it. Just take good care of the baby!"

After returning home, Zhang Jing called Director Chen while Achen was taking a shower.

"Sister, what's the news about getting rich? Are you thinking of Brother Chen?"

"Brother Chen, I have a problem and need your help!"

"Sister, you know my abilities are limited. What's the matter? Tell me first. Don't blame me if I can't help. We still have friendship!"

Zhang Jing walked to the balcony and told the story of Achen and Alan. "Brother Chen, do you think it's easy for me? Now I can only ask you to find a live-in son-in-law for Alan. Even if he's poor, he's honest and doesn't despise her. Let her get married quickly!"

Brother Chen was also worried: "Where can I find someone in such a short time? This matter cannot be rushed."

Zhang Jing said, "This is really urgent! The whole family is looking after Ah Chen, but it seems like the two idiots really want to be together."

Brother Chen laughed heartily. "Zhang Jing, ah Zhang Jing, you're really too clever! Do you think Alan's parents would let their daughter marry another mentally retarded man? As you said, Alan's brothers and sisters are all in Hong Kong. With those conditions, she can find an honest, poor man."

Zhang Jing thought about it and realized that Alan's conditions were indeed suitable for finding such a person. Her parents had also been looking for someone in the same way, but they just hadn't found one.

Zhang Jing said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for taking care of this. By the way, is Gao Wei still working as a security guard? Does he have a wife? If not, could you help me find someone?"

Director Chen said, "Don't try to match people up with each other. That guy is about to take a leave to go back for a blind date! If I hadn't arranged someone, I would have let him go long ago. Just wait for good news from me!"

Zhang Jing hung up the phone, satisfied. Ah Chen showered and went to chant. Zhang Jing also showered and washed her hair. She felt her belly, which seemed a bit too large. She decided to take the morning off tomorrow to get it checked out.

Zhang Jing dried Ah Chen's hair and taught him how to use the washing machine after he finished chanting. She realized that if she didn't let him do it, he wouldn't be able to. If she taught him to do things within his ability, he would eventually learn. She also taught him to mop the floor and wipe the table, watching him do it with great skill, even working up a bit of sweat. She then made two glasses of milk, one for each of them.

After hanging the clothes, brushing their teeth, and getting into bed, Achen fell asleep before Zhang Jing could even start reading him a story. Zhang Jing thought for a moment and sent another message to Director Chen, saying she had a prenatal checkup the next day and asked Achen to take the morning off to accompany her. Director Chen replied, "Is one morning enough? I'll grant him a day off!"

Zhang Jing asked the hospital office for another day off, explaining she needed a prenatal checkup. She was worried half a day wouldn't be enough, so she asked for a full day. The clerk told her that Li Xiangyue would be back at work the next day, so she didn't need to worry; the work would be done.

Zhang Jing thought about it before going to bed, and finally called her mother-in-law: "Mom, you don't have to make breakfast for us tomorrow! Ah Chen is accompanying me to the prenatal checkup, and I need to have my blood drawn on an empty stomach. We'll eat outside after the checkup."

"How can that be possible?" The mother-in-law was anxious when she heard it, and immediately said, "Tell your father to take a day off tomorrow, and we will go together!"

Zhang Jing said, "Mom, it's not good to delay Dad's work. We can handle it ourselves."

My mother-in-law said, "Don't be so stubborn, kid! It's settled. We'll go there at 7 o'clock. Let's have our blood drawn first and then eat. I'll find someone to help us so we don't have to wait in line. Don't worry about it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing was relieved and prepared to turn off the lights. But she noticed Achen's eyelashes trembling, knowing that he had been woken up by her. She quickly turned off the lights and hugged Achen: "Honey, let's go to check the baby together tomorrow. I've asked for leave for you. Let's take a day off."

Achen hummed and fell asleep again. Zhang Jing thought, she had tried every possible means to get a fool by her side, and it would be really difficult for her to live without the help of an old man in the future.

As soon as they finished packing up early in the morning, Achen's mother arrived, bringing breakfast and urging Achen to eat quickly. She also said that the thermos was for Zhang Jing to eat after she had her blood drawn.

The family rushed to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, where they spent the morning undergoing blood tests and color Doppler ultrasounds. By the time the series of tests were complete, it was already noon, but the family was delighted. Zhang Jing was pregnant with twins!

I actually saw a service for preserving baby cord blood! And even water births! Although it was just a flyer, few people asked. But Zhang Jing knew that in her past life, many wealthy people paid to preserve their cord blood, because it could prevent and treat leukemia! It was like giving a child another life; even if the child didn't use it, it could still help others.

After consultation, Zhang Jing chose to make an appointment for this service. The nurse said that when the baby is born, a specialized doctor will be contacted to collect the umbilical cord blood.

As for the water birth, after the doctor explained the principles, he also outlined the conditions: first, the mother must be under 28 years old; second, it must be her first child. Zhang Jing regretfully gave up, and Achen's parents breathed a sigh of relief: "This daughter-in-law is too demanding! I hope she doesn't let her grandson die!" Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Thanks to the doctor.

Achen's mother happily called Grandpa again, and the old man was also happy, telling them to go home for dinner. Looking at the ultrasound photos, Zhang Jing couldn't help crying. She finally wouldn't end up alone!

"Silly child, why are you crying? This is a good thing, we should be happy!" The mother-in-law comforted Zhang Jing while lecturing Achen: "You must not make your wife angry in the future. When Ajing gives birth to two babies, you will be a family of four!"

Achen nodded: "I'm going to be a father, I won't make Ajing angry!"

Back at Grandpa's house, my brother-in-law was also there. Everyone was once again discussing the twins, with Grandpa and Dad discussing names. My mother-in-law also kept asking Zhang Jing what she wanted to eat.

Zhang Jing was very happy looking at this family. Her child would grow up in a loving environment, which was the happiness she pursued. So she would not allow anyone to destroy it!

In the evening, I received a call from Director Chen: "Ajing, how was your prenatal checkup? Is the baby okay?"

Zhang Jing said, "Brother Chen, everything went well. The diagnosis confirmed it's twins!"

"That's great! Ah Jing, you are so lucky! I have good news to tell you!"

"What good news? You don't even look like you can wait till tomorrow!"

"Hahaha, Jing! This is a good thing for you! I tried to talk to Gao Wei about it, and he agreed!"

"Agree to what? Explain clearly!"

"Agree to be a live-in son-in-law and marry Alan!"

"No, Brother Chen, don't laugh yet. He doesn't mind knowing Alan's situation?"

"What the hell does he mind? You don't know, he has five brothers and sisters! His two sisters were married off to his two brothers, and he's the only one who's so poor he has to work. When I told him that, he still hesitated."

"Then why did he agree again? Is Alan willing?" Zhang Jing asked, avoiding Achen.

Director Chen was very proud when he said this. "Don't worry, just listen to me. I broke it down and explained Gao Wei's situation. I also analyzed Da Zhuang's wife's choice and your approach. He understood and immediately decided not to go home. He also urged me to find Alan as a matchmaker, saying that it would be a good idea to follow a smart person like you!"

Zhang Jing was still worried: "Would Alan be willing?"

"Why wouldn't she agree? He has a job and is tall and strong. Besides not being from Guangdong, how is he unworthy of that idiot of hers? She agrees! She just has to tell her adoptive parents. Later, her adoptive parents wanted to meet Gao Wei, so the two of them asked for leave tomorrow to meet their parents."

"Isn't this too fast?" Zhang Jing exclaimed.

"This is the Shenzhen speed! To put it bluntly, marriage is an exchange of interests, and all those romantic affairs are just supporting factors!" Director Chen spoke like a wise man.

"Let me tell you, if they get married, I'll be the matchmaker. Don't argue with me!"

Zhang Jing said, "I'll only say this if we can get married. If it really works out, I'll personally send you a big red envelope! Thank you for helping resolve this crisis."

"It's a deal! Prepare the red envelope."
