Chapter 268 What a sin!
Chapter 268 What a sin!
Zhao Cui'e obviously still had some expectations for her family. After she finished talking about this, she took Xu Yu's hand and asked, "Xiao Yu, come over here. Do my parents know?"
Xu Yu knew what she was thinking, and he didn't intend to hide it from her, so he said, "Before we came, I asked my second brother to go and tell them that they only sent ten eggs this morning."
It was Zhao's mother who brought the eggs. She said with an embarrassed look on her face, "I want to go see Cui'e, but Dazhuang is getting engaged the day after tomorrow, so I can't leave. I believe Cui'e can understand."
At that time, Xu Yu directly said to her: "If you don't want to go to see your sister-in-law, then don't go. Why do you find so many excuses? If you really care about this girl, even if Dazhuang is getting engaged tomorrow, you should go to see her today."
Mother Zhao was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She even asked Xu Yu to ask Xu Jianjun if he wanted to come back when the time came. Then she put down the eggs and left.
Xu Yu did not tell Zhao Cui'e about this, as he did not want her to be angry while she was in confinement.
However, Zhao Cui'e had already seen through her mother's family a long time ago, and she was just a little unwilling to give up. Now, after hearing what Xu Yu said, she didn't feel so sad.
After all, she has such a good in-laws and such a good sister-in-law. If her own family is not good, she should just have less contact with them in the future.
She said to Xu Yu: "Don't tell anyone about the compensation I received. I don't want them to know."
Xu Yu and Zhang Hongmei exchanged a glance, and then Xu Yu nodded: "Okay, then only the few of us will know about it, and don't tell anyone else. You keep this money well."
Zhao Cui'e shook her head: "No, Dad takes the money. Jianjun and I have money on us."
Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei definitely wouldn't take it, and both of them said a few words to her.
Finally, after being persuaded by Xu Yu and Jiang Yi, she agreed to keep the money.
Xu Yu and the others were not in a hurry to go back, and planned to wait until Xu Jianjun got off work before leaving.
When Zhao Cui'e gave birth prematurely, Xu Jianjun suddenly took three days off, which used up all his previously accumulated vacation time and he had no choice but to go to work.
Zhao Cui'e thought it was normal, but Xu Yu had other thoughts. He was thinking about how to let his elder brother drive himself so that he wouldn't have to leave when something happened.
Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Xu Yu and Jiang Yi sat there and looked after the baby.
Xu Yu asked Zhao Cui'e, "Sister-in-law, have you and brother decided on a name for the baby?"
Before Zhao Cui'e could speak, Zhang Hongmei said, "The baby was born prematurely, so it would be better to give him a cheap name."
Xu Yu casually replied, "Don't name my nephew Gou Wa, Gou Dan, Fu Gui, Wang Cai, Tie Zhu, etc."
This made Zhang Hongmei choke for a moment, and then she laughed and scolded Xu Yu: "Why not give him a name if you don't want to marry him? It's just a nickname. Why not just give him a name that's easy to pronounce and has a good meaning?"
"No, my nephew must have a nice nickname."
Zhao Cui'e was easy to talk to: "So, sister, what do you think is a good name? We have thought of several similar to what you said, but we really can't think of anything else."
Xu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Kang Kang, which means healthy and well. That's a good name."
Not only Zhao Cui'e and Zhang Hongmei agreed, Xu Kui also agreed, and even Jiang Yi nodded.
Zhao Cui'e simply said, "My younger sister knows how to choose names, so why not choose Kang Kang's full name as well? Your elder brother and I don't know how to choose names, and we said before that we would wait until next month to think about it slowly."
Xu Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "You can choose a full name for yourself, I'll give Kang Kang a nickname."
After saying that, he signaled Zhao Cui'e with his eyes to let his father take it.
Zhao Cui'e received her gaze and said to Xu Kui, "Dad, why don't you come and get it for Kang Kang."
Xu Kui thought for a moment and said, "There's no rush for Daming. We'll think about it together when you guys get back."
Zhang Hongmei also agrees.
No one talked about this topic anymore.
……
After Xu Jianjun came back from get off work, Xu Yu and the others talked to him for a while and then planned to go back.
Xu Jianjun sent the three people out.
On the way out, Xu Yu handed Xu Jianjun a medicine bottle and said, "Brother, you don't look well. Have you not had much rest these days? Take this medicine. Take one pill every morning. It can replenish your qi and blood."
Xu Jianjun was not polite. He took the medicine bottle and said to the two of them, "Brother-in-law, sister, thank you for your time."
Xu Yu said to him: "Why thank me? We are brother and sister. Since your sister-in-law has encountered such a big problem, we will definitely do our best to help her."
Xu Jianjun glanced at her belly and said worriedly, "Don't follow us in the car later. The road is not easy to travel on. You're pregnant, so you should be careful."
Xu Yu nodded: "I will wait for my sister-in-law and Kang Kang to come back home later."
Then he asked him, "Brother, you will have to come back and stay with me for a few days?"
"I want to come back, but I can't stay at home for two days."
"Please ask for leave."
"I can't. There are only two drivers for one route. If I ask for too much leave, the other driver won't agree."
Xu Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked him, "Brother, if there were other driving jobs, would you be willing to take them?"
Xu Jianjun immediately shook his head. "My current job is great. State-owned enterprises offer good benefits and a stable job. No other job is as good as this one."
Xu Yu glanced at him and knew that he couldn't change his mind in a short time. After all, bus driver was indeed the best job nowadays.
She smiled and said, "I'm just asking."
Then he said, "You should also take good care of your sister-in-law and my little nephew."
"Ah."
After Xu Yu finished speaking, Xu Kui and Xu Jianjun also said a few words.
Xu Kui talked about the engagement of Zhao family’s eldest son.
Xu Jianjun simply said, "I won't be able to go back then, so you go, Dad."
Xu Yu said, "When something like this happened to my sister-in-law, they didn't think of sending someone to check on her. They don't take you seriously. You can just treat them as ordinary relatives."
Neither the father nor the son spoke.
Xu Yu didn't say anything else.
……
It takes about four hours to drive from the city to the town, so Xu Yu and his family will stay at their home in the county town tonight.
The next day, they went to see Xiao Tang and talked to her for a while before going back.
When they arrived in town, Jiang Yi had something to call, so Xu Kui went back first.
After the call, on the way back, Xu Yu took advantage of the fact that no one was around and told Jiang Yi about his thoughts: "Reform and opening up will begin next year, and the individual economy will gradually emerge. In fact, I want my brother to leave the bus company. Even if he drives his own car, it's better than driving a bus in the city."
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Given the current situation, it would be better for Big Brother to drive a bus in the city. After all, reform and opening up will only happen next year, so we need to give him a process and opportunity to change his mindset."
Xu Yu nodded: "If my sister-in-law hadn't had this incident, I wouldn't be thinking about my brother right now. It's because of my sister-in-law's incident that I don't really want him to drive in the city anymore."
Jiang Yi understood her feelings. Seeing that she subconsciously supported her waist with one hand, he simply put his arm around her waist and let her walk in his arms. As they walked, he said, "If you want Big Brother to change his mind, you must find a better job than driving a bus."
Xu Yu was in deep thought.
Suddenly thinking of my second brother's pigs, I said, "My second brother is planning to expand the number of pigs he raises. If we're lucky, we can cancel collective pig farming next year. When my second brother can raise pigs on his own, he'll definitely need a car to deliver the pork. When the time comes, I'll let my eldest brother buy a car and become a partner with my second brother. What do you think?"
Jiang Yi thought about it for a moment and said the same thing: "We have to wait for the higher authorities to issue a notice allowing individual farming."
Xu Yu hummed.
The sun was already strong when the two of them returned, luckily Jiang Yi brought an umbrella with him.
He held the umbrella over Xu Yu's head and stood in the direction where the sun was shining, just enough to shield her completely.
When Xu Yu got tired of walking, he carried her in his arms.
Someone saw them on the road, but they didn't care.
As soon as they walked over, everyone started talking.
"The girl from the Xu family is so lucky. Not only does Jiang Yi treat her like the apple of his eye, but her parents-in-law are also so kind to her. I heard that she has so many chickens, ducks and eggs now that she can't even finish them all. She can even bring some back to her parents' home every day."
"The Red Star Village chief's family has also improved thanks to their daughter! So when a woman gets married, it still depends on whether she has the blessing."
"That's right. Everyone thought Xu Yu would not only be childless but also widowed if she married Jiang Yi, but they never imagined she would be pregnant with twins. Jiang Yi's complexion and physique didn't seem like he was going to die young."
"So the girl from the He family who didn't want to marry him has regretted it now. I heard that she wanted to cause trouble for Xu Yu, but ended up falling down instead."
"I heard about it too. Didn't they say she fell pretty hard? Hasn't she been nursing the baby all this time?"
"Why would you want to raise a baby? I have a relative in their village, and I heard she had a miscarriage yesterday afternoon."
"Ah? Is it that serious?"
"Yes, it is said that the miscarriage was another boy."
"Hiss...that's a pity."
"What's even more unfortunate is that I heard she lost too much blood. If it weren't for Doctor Hu and his team in Shangping Village, she would have almost died. Doctor Hu told her not to have children in the future, otherwise it would be very dangerous."
“…What a sin!”
