Rebirth and making money first

The mother-in-law rushed into the house, her face filled with irrepressible excitement. She walked as lightly as a happy deer and ran straight to her husband who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.

"Old man, I have great news to tell you! We are going to be grandparents soon! Real grandparents!" my mother-in-law shouted excitedly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

However, her husband ignored her words and continued to focus on the toothbrush in his hand, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you hearing me?" Seeing this, the mother-in-law was anxious and grabbed her husband's arm and shook him hard.

"Oh, wait for me to brush... Ugh, ugh, ugh!" The husband was almost choked by her and the toothpaste foam in his mouth almost went into his trachea. He pushed his mother-in-law away in embarrassment and quickly spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law quickly let go of her husband's hand and frantically picked up a towel to wipe the toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth. However, the more she frantically she got, the more chaotic she became, and she accidentally splashed water on her husband.

After finally cleaning up, the husband glared at his mother-in-law with dissatisfaction and said angrily, "Why are you so anxious? Is the house on fire? Don't you think about how old we are? You are still so impatient!"

Before he finished speaking, the husband turned around and prepared to continue washing his face. The mother-in-law saw this and became even more anxious. She reached out and grabbed her husband again, saying anxiously, "Don't wash yet. Just listen to what I have to say! I promise I won't delay you for too long. Whatever you want to do, I will never stop you!"

"Okay, then go ahead and tell me! But remember to get to the point, be concise, and don't talk too much!" The husband stopped helplessly and turned to look at his mother-in-law.

Achen's mother said anxiously, "We can't delay any longer! Jing is pregnant with a boy and a girl, and one of them is definitely our Achen's! This has been verified!"

Upon hearing this, her husband froze in a daze, as if time had stood still. Seeing this, Achen's mother quickly recounted the entire story in detail. However, after a long moment, her husband still didn't respond, simply standing there in a daze, like a statue.

"Old man, why don't you say something? At least give me some reaction!" Achen's mother urged anxiously.

"Oh! What a misfortune for our family. My poor son has been cuckolded! This is a foregone conclusion." The husband sighed, his face full of sorrow, and he was obviously in a very low mood.

Achen's mother stretched out her finger, gently poked her husband, and said angrily, "Look at you, you're so stubborn. I was right about you!"

The husband retorted with displeasure, "Do I really have to celebrate joyfully just because something like this happened to my son?"

Achen's mother shook her head helplessly and then carefully recounted the conversation between her and Zhang Jing to her husband. Finally, she concluded, "Actually, the essence of marriage is, to put it bluntly, an exchange of interests. In this marriage, our Achen is clearly in a weak position. So, in this situation, we can only turn a blind eye to certain things."

Seeing that her husband understood, she continued, "Fortunately, he now has a house to live in, a stable job, a son and a daughter, and a wife to provide for him... These living conditions are much better than many people in the world!"

"Your youngest son may not be as lucky as Ah Chen in the future! All we can do is accept the child she gave birth to. After all, both children are born to the same mother. This bloodline cannot be severed, and it will be a help when he grows up."

"The child's biological father is also powerful. He can provide money and take care of my Achen. As long as he can take good care of my son and let Achen have offspring, I don't care about anything else!"

Achen's father listened to his wife's words and felt they made sense. His wife added, "Ajing said that after the baby is born, we'll do a detailed checkup. If everything is fine, she and Achen plan to have another child."

"Really?" Seeing his wife's confirmation, Achen's father was also excited. "If that's the case, I have no objection! I should tell the old man sooner rather than later, so that he can have four generations living under one roof! He'll be so happy. Hahaha! Fortunately, the old man had foresight. Oh, and Ajing is about to give birth, even though her mother-in-law has arrived. You should also be more diligent and don't be stingy with money! Give what you need, Ajing has no shortage of assets. If you can coax her well, both of your sons can work less for a decade!"

"Do you have to be so exaggerated? My little son is not that weak!"

"Don't disbelieve me, you'll know later. It won't hurt to have a good relationship anyway! Ah Chen doesn't need to know so much, just let him live his life in a foolish way. You have to believe that fools have their own luck, but we have to pay what we owe. We can't let people look down on us."

Achen's mother said, "I know that. I'm so happy when I think about becoming a grandmother! Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming."

My husband said, "I'm in a hurry to get to work, so don't mess around!"

Zhang Jing's mother quickly packed up everything and, under the guidance of her daughter, Zhang Jing, began to gradually familiarize herself with the surrounding shops and markets. Along the way, the mother and daughter chatted and laughed, and Zhang Jing patiently introduced the characteristics and advantages of each place to her mother.

Not only that, Zhang Jing's mother also asked her daughter what dishes she liked to eat so that she could buy ingredients according to her daughter's taste and cook delicious dishes to satisfy her taste buds.

Whenever Zhang Jing asks for a dish she wants to eat, her mother will do her best to buy it and carefully prepare it into delicious dishes.

At the same time, Achen no longer went to his grandfather's house for meals as usual. Every day after work, he rushed home. As soon as he entered the house, he immediately followed his mother-in-law's instructions and rushed around, sometimes helping to wash vegetables and cut meat, and sometimes busying himself with setting the table and chairs. Although he was a little hesitant, he enjoyed it.

Zhang Zhi, with her cute little baby, would come over almost every day to eat, and occasionally bring some fresh fruit as gifts to everyone. However, this relaxed and comfortable life did not last long.

That day, Zhang Jing simply handed her 8000 yuan monthly living allowance to her mother, telling her she could spend it as she pleased. The old lady, accepting the money, demonstrated her remarkable ability, not only managing the household perfectly but also saving a considerable amount through careful budgeting.

However, Zhang Jing's mother unexpectedly asked Zhang Zhi to contribute to her living expenses. This request immediately made Zhang Zhi furious, filled with resentment and confusion. She put her hands on her hips, glared at her mother, and loudly demanded, "Mom, are you really my biological mother? Why do I always feel that nothing is important to you except money?"

Faced with her daughter's sharp questioning, the old lady seemed remarkably calm. She waved her hand expressionlessly and said confidently, "Don't dwell on it. Paying for meals is a matter of course and right! I came all the way here to take care of your sister before she gives birth. She hasn't given birth yet, so it's my job to cook for them, my wife, and myself. And you, on the other hand, are already married and have your own family. It's fine for you to come over with your children for a meal occasionally, but if you eat and drink for free every day without paying a penny, that's too much!"

Hearing her mother's words, Zhang Zhi felt even more wronged, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her lip and retorted, "It's not like I haven't paid before. Didn't I buy a lot of fruit before? Those fruits are not cheap. Doesn't this count as spending money? Why should I pay extra?"

The old lady said, "That's why I say you're stupid! You wouldn't put powder on your face if you had it! Even if you give me 800 or 1000 a month, you can still eat for free. The fruit you bought is your favorite, what does it have to do with others? Who doesn't know how to buy fruit if they have money? Give me the money, don't think your brother-in-law is stupid and bully him."

"Old lady, I'm too lazy to talk to you! I'll go talk to my sister."

"No matter who you find, you can't escape from me. Don't forget that I'm the one who cooks!" The old lady shouted loudly without fear.

Facing Zhang Zhi's aggrieved face, Zhang Jing said, "I don't care. Either you go home and cook for yourself every day, or you give the old lady some money. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem! Don't forget that your mother also gave you a shop. It's not too much to ask you to give some money, right?"

Zhang Zhi thought about it and decided she really didn't want to cook, so she decided to pay. After a long discussion, the mother and daughter finally agreed to pay 2000 yuan a month, plus lunch. On Saturdays and Sundays, if her husband was home, he wouldn't come to eat. Otherwise, both mother and daughter would come.

The old lady took the money and cursed, "You are a bunch of heartless ungrateful wolves! Every single one of you asks me if you are my biological children whenever something happens! If you are not, I don't know how happy I would have lived my life!"

After hearing this, Milk Ball asked the old lady: "Grandma, you are swearing!"

"I didn't scold you, children are not allowed to meddle in adults' affairs!"

The girl thought for a moment, took out a red envelope from her small bag, and handed it to her: "Grandma, this is my money, I give it to you. Please don't scold my mother!"
