Landlady who likes to hoard land

Xu's mother also solemnly guaranteed

"If you have your second child, I'll take care of one for you."

Mr. and Mrs. Wang Chengyu had always felt that one child was too lonely, so with the couple's promise, they immediately put it into practice, and soon their second child, Xu Yao, was born.

Once the elderly couple completed their task, the atmosphere immediately changed.

First, Xu's mother kept shouting.

"Oh dear, as you get older, your back and legs hurt, and you can't do anything anymore."

Your child doesn't want me; he cries as soon as I hold him.

Your child is too difficult to handle; I can't manage him.

Xu Chenxing also spoke up.

"You young people spend money recklessly and don't know how to save. You'll have many expenses in the future."

We're saving money for you, so you'll have to be careful with it so you'll realize how hard it is to earn money.

The couple, Wang Chengyu and his wife, were completely dumbfounded. But since the second child had already been born, they couldn't put it back in, so they had no choice but to accept reality.

During that period, Wang Chengyu took care of two children every day. The older one cried and the younger one made a fuss. They slept on opposite sides of each other at night. After soothing the older one, she would also soothe the younger one.

Especially when it comes to the fear of children catching a cold or fever, if one gets it, the other is almost guaranteed to get it too.

Long-term insomnia and anxiety caused her to lose clumps of hair. The amount of hair she was so proud of before her marriage was now only as thick as her thumb.

Wang Chengyu doesn't even dare to think back to how she got through that period.

Later, when Xu's mother suggested that Wang Chengyu have another daughter, Wang Chengyu went straight to have a sterilization operation without saying a word.

Xu Chenxing and his wife immediately quieted down.

When the child was young, my mother-in-law said she wasn't feeling well and couldn't take care of him. When he was in kindergarten, she said her legs hurt and she couldn't ride a bike to pick him up or drop him off.

Until I started elementary school, they simply stopped making excuses and just wouldn't pick me up or drop me off.

The elementary school where Wang Chengyu's youngest son attends for grades one through three dismisses students between 3:30 and 3:50 pm, earlier than kindergarten. There's simply no job that allows you to pick up your child at that time.

So she remains a housewife to this day. In the eyes of her older and younger sisters-in-law, the couple are freeloaders and ungrateful wretches.

They think their parents have sacrificed so much for them, and they don't appreciate it. They spend all their time bragging about how their two nephews were raised by their parents.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Chengyu once again expressed her desire to go out to work.

Her eldest son, Xu Wen, is already in junior high school. Xu Wen is relatively weaker in math than in other subjects, so she wants to enroll him in a tutoring class. In the future, the expenses in this area will only increase.

Also, my two sons' teeth aren't growing well. The first year of junior high school is the best time for orthodontic treatment, so I'm going to get my eldest son's teeth straightened soon.

Wang Chengyu consulted a doctor and found that orthodontic treatment would cost between 15,000 and 20,000 yuan, which is a considerable expense.

Considering her purpose for today, she didn't argue with her mother-in-law. Suppressing her anger, she spoke in a calm tone.

"Mom, I was just about to discuss this with you and Dad. Look how grown up Xu Wen and Xu Yao are, and there are more and more places where we need to spend money."

Jianren earns money for the four of us, and he works very hard. We struggle to even make ends meet, let alone buy toys for the children.

“I was thinking that if you could help us pick up and drop off the kids, I could find a job and, no matter how much I earn, I could help Jianren and not let him work so hard.”

At this point, Wang Chengyu paused, glanced at Xu Shan, and continued...

“Now that we have more money, we don’t need to be so stingy anymore, and it will save your son from being called a miser.”

Xu Chenxing and his wife remained silent with grim expressions, and she continued...

"Xu Wen is now in the first year of junior high school. We are thinking of enrolling him in a tutoring class. The high school entrance exam is very difficult now. Only 50% of students can get into high school. We can't slack off in our studies at all."

The child's teeth also need to be straightened. Straightening teeth alone costs tens of thousands of yuan, and when they are in the third year of junior high school, they will be too busy with their studies to have time to straighten their teeth.

You can only help us for two years at most. Xu Yao is in fourth grade now. When he's in sixth grade, he'll get out of school late, and then we'll be able to pick him up and drop him off ourselves.”

Wang Chengyu spoke to her mother-in-law, but her eyes were fixed on her father-in-law. In the family, her father-in-law, Xu Chenxing, always had the final say.

Xu Chenxing didn't speak, and Xu's mother didn't even lift her eyelids, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"I'm not going to be your maid. You live too uncomfortable in the city. It's like being locked in a cage all day. You don't even have anyone to talk to."

"Whoever's child it is, they should take care of them. My task is complete; it's time to enjoy life!"

"Sister-in-law, Mom definitely can't do it. She's used to living in the countryside, and we don't trust her to pick up and drop off the kids."

Xu Shan took the chicken feet that Xu Chenxing put on her plate and started eating them while talking.

Wang Chengyu didn't reply, and continued to look at her father-in-law.

My father-in-law's face turned slightly red from drinking, and he slurred his words a little.

"How much does Xu Wen need for tutoring? Have your mom give it to you."

It's the same old routine again. This time, Wang Chengyu isn't going to settle things with money; she's tired of this life that's like begging.

“Dad, Jianren and I are both over thirty. How can we keep sponging off our parents? Everyone in the village laughs at us for still asking them for money at our age. We don’t want to be freeloaders.”

"Xiao Wang, can't you find a job that allows you to pick up and drop off your child?"

Xu Qian speaks without understanding the situation; she constantly complains that her mother-in-law only picks up and drops off the children, but doesn't cook or do housework. Yet, when it comes to her own mother, her sister-in-law is expected to do everything.

Wang Chengyu secretly rolled her eyes. All she could do was talk; anyone could talk.

"Sure, sis, do you know where I can find a job like this?"

"I don't know where to find it, you'll have to find it yourself."

"I've been searching for so many years and still haven't found it, Jianren, what are you thinking?"

After Wang Chengyu finished criticizing Xu Qian, he tugged at Xu Jianren's clothes, signaling him to say a few words.

Xu Jianren hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Dad, the kids are all grown up now, and the household expenses are increasing. I'm also quite tired. How about Mom takes care of the kids for a couple of years, and Xiao Wang goes to work?"

Xu Jianren's words somehow struck a chord with Xu Chenxing.

With a "whoosh",

Xu Jianren waved his hand, knocking the dishes in front of him to the ground.

The entire living room fell silent, with only the cartoon on TV continuing.

Xu Chenxing glared and bristled, his chopsticks practically pointing at Xu Jianren's head.

"You're tired? Where are you tired? I'm so old, I'm working myself to the bone every day, not for you. How can you be so selfish, letting your mother become your maid? What am I supposed to do? Are you trying to make me starve to death?"

Xu Chenxing didn't have to do any work at the factory; he only needed to direct the workers. Moreover, the factory had a canteen that provided meals, so he could eat there.

He often uses this tactic to make his two daughters and sons-in-law believe that he has sacrificed a lot for his son, but his son is ungrateful.

Xu Qian's eyes widened in anger, and she began to accuse her brother.

"Now you've learned to talk back to Dad. How can you be so ungrateful? Dad bought you a house and helped you get married just so you could make him angry. He's so old and he's still working, isn't it all for you?"

Look, not only has Xu Chenxing mastered the PUA technique, but Xu Qian has also learned it perfectly.

Wang Chengyu is determined to fight to the end today.

"Sister, that's not how it works. Dad works hard, but not just for Jianren. He works for the whole family, for everyone in this family."

"Sis, don't just talk about me. Didn't you spend Dad's money?"

Xu Jianren retorted to his sister, echoing Wang Chengyu's words.

"That's my dad too. Is it not my right to spend my dad's money? How much did I spend? Our dad bought you a car and a house."

Xu Jianren, you've really grown up! If you're so capable, then don't live in the house Dad bought for you, and don't drive the car Dad bought for you.

Xu Qian became hysterical, screaming like a shrew. Xu Qian had married into a rural-urban fringe area. Her husband was a local resident who had received compensation for his land expropriation. His family owned several properties, one of which was located along the street.

A few years ago, in order to solve the problem of her grandson's schooling, Xu Chenxing spent more than 300,000 yuan to buy Xu Jianren a resettlement house in Xu Qian Community. The car was bought when Xu Jianren got married, costing 120,000 yuan, and it has been twelve years since then.

Because of this, Xu Qian constantly complained that Xu Chenxing favored Xu Jianren. In Xu Qian's mind, everything from her husband's family belonged to her, and she also had to have a share from her own family.

What Xu Qian really cared about was that Xu Chenxing paid for Xu Shan to buy a house.

Wang Chengyu's sister-in-law, Xu Shan, is tall and beautiful, eloquent and capable, and as the youngest in the family, she is favored by her parents.

Xu Shan was attracted to the person, not the money, and her chosen partner was also from a rural area.

Xu Chenxing and his wife felt sorry for their youngest daughter's hard work in the countryside, so when Xu Shan got married, they secretly paid for a resettlement house for Xu Shan and her husband in Xu Qian's community. At that time, Xu Jianren and his wife were still living in a self-built house in the countryside.

Xu Chenxing is like that. No matter how much money she spends on her daughter, she does it secretly without saying a word, but when she spends a penny on her son, she wants the whole world to know.
