Chapter 713: It's All About "Money" 2
When Qunfang was more than six months pregnant, the company persuaded her to quit after giving a compensation, and she took care of her family and gave birth at home according to her husband's words.
At the beginning of winter, Feng Maoxu's parents suddenly arrived, saying that they were going to take care of their daughter-in-law and give birth to a child in confinement.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but when they lived together, they found that their consumption and life concepts were very different.
Qunfang is a super thrifty and budget-conscious type, always wanting to save money for emergencies, such as preparing for future tuition fees for children, and even wanting to buy a house.
Although the two elders of the Feng family are also rural, the living conditions there are generally very good, and they are very competitive with each other, and they are very particular about the quality of life.
And they never think about whether to leave room for their children to live, in their opinion, as long as they live well, their children should give them all the money.
For example, in order to save, Fu Qunfang went to the comprehensive market to buy clothes for herself and her children, and went to the big market to buy vegetables.
And the second elder of the Feng family will never move chopsticks for radishes and cabbage, so he must go to the supermarket to buy the freshest, regardless of the price, just see if he likes it or not.
Buying clothes too, Qunfang originally planned to take them to the general market, but they said, "Mohey, there are no good things there", and they only recognized their favorite styles when they went to the store...... Well, Qunfang also thinks that things should be bought that they like, but their economic conditions dictate that they have to look at the price first.
They have the habit of making soup in their hometown, and every day it is pork bone soup, pork rib soup, chicken soup, which is not the same, and the rest is thrown away the next day because it is not fresh.
With two more people in the family, the cost of living has skyrocketed. It turned out that they were a family of three, and under Qunfang's careful calculation, a thousand yuan could be done, but now five or six thousand is still stretched.
The money that was originally saved to have a child was also used up, Qunfang finally couldn't help it, and asked Feng Maoxu to tell his parents about their current situation, make it clear about their current situation, live within their means, or think about it a little for them now.
Feng Maoxu was also very entangled in his heart, after all, they were the parents who gave birth to him and raised him with hard work, he didn't want to bear the charge of unfilial piety of a mean old man, so he said: They are old now, they used to live a poor life and were afraid, but now they just want to live a better life, and they are only playing here for a few days and they have not been living here, how can you let me say this? You're making me feel infamous for being unfilial.
When Fu Qunfang heard her husband say this, she was entangled and aggrieved in her heart, daring to love him This is filial piety, she is a vicious daughter-in-law who treats her in-laws harshly? Also What is it called "playing for a few days"? Didn't you say to take care of her at first?
Crying: They are your parents, you have to do your filial piety, yes, but, but our current conditions are only like this, now the family has no money to save, I have more than a month to go into labor, and then I can't go to work, the cost of confinement, the baby's things have not been prepared, how do we live as a family?
Feng Maoxu said irritably: I'm also very annoyed, don't you say it......
Fu Qunfang and her husband had one of the most intense quarrels in history.
As the New Year approached, Fu Qunfang's parents called her again and again, saying that the rooms at home were ready for their family...... It means that they will return to their hometown for the New Year.
Fu Qunfang heard the expectation of her parents on the phone, and wanted to say that she couldn't go back this year, but in the end she said that she would see it later.
On a Saturday, Qunfang was dragged by her in-laws to take a pregnancy test, but it was not the maternal and child health hospital she had scheduled.
Qun Fang faintly felt that her in-laws' actions were a little strange, so she said that she asked them directly if they wanted to check on boys and girls?
They denied it again and again, saying that the current hospital is irresponsible, and they must see clearly, if there is any defect, it will harm the child for the rest of his life.
The more Qun Fang saw that the two old men were like this, the more suspicious they became. Looking at her husband for help.
She saw that her husband was also haggard and tired a lot during this time, because she had no job now, and she felt even more distressed about her husband.
Feng Maoxu hugged his head and nestled on the sofa, and said impatiently: "Mom and Dad are also for our good, so it's good to find one more hospital for examination." You just fulfilled the old man's mind at that time, you should accompany them to go for a walk outside, is this really that difficult for you? ”
Qunfang was extremely aggrieved, tears were rolling in his eyes, didn't his parents discuss it with him in advance if they had such thoughts and plans? When she was pregnant before, she asked what to do if this baby was still a daughter, and he said in person, "Sons and daughters are the same", but I didn't expect him to have such an attitude now!
During this time, Qunfang also had a fire in her belly, and was about to break out, when her daughter Yinyin hugged her arm and said in a milky voice: "Mom, Mom, I want a younger brother, I like my younger brother......"
The grandparents picked her up and shouted "Good granddaughter, really sensible" with a smile on her face.
A quarrel was resolved by Yin Yin, and Qunfang was dragged by two old men to check it out. When I went, I was still teasing my granddaughter and was happy, but after coming out of that clinic, I immediately changed my face, saying that the child had a problem, it was a deformity, and I had to get rid of it.
Qunfang's heart suddenly chuckled, now she is seven or eight months pregnant, do it? How can you be willing to be close to your child? Besides, such a big month is also very harmful to adults.
Of course she disagreed, but later Feng Maoxu also looked very tired and helpless, and said to her weakly: "Can't you listen to my parents once?" Didn't you want it in the first place? You really make it hard for me to do this, do you know? ”
Qun Fangden felt that the whole world was collapsing, she stared closely at this man who she entrusted her with her life, she knew that he had no money, no car and no house, she accepted all his habits and temper, and she even tolerated his parents' pickiness on her... She has always felt that in addition to being a little poorer at home, she is actually very happy:
Because the husband does not drink or smoke; Don't go to nightclubs; Nor did he have any illicit relations or dealings with other women; Even the financial power of the family is in her hands...... Well, although the money, no matter how much she saves, ends up with her parents.
But at least until then, Qunfang had always felt that he was happy and down-to-earth.
But at this moment, she felt that everything that she thought was good was beginning to crumble and disintegrate.
In fact, she vaguely knew in her heart what all this was, but at this time, she was like a demon, shouting in a sharp voice, asking him to give an explanation, let him explain clearly.
So she heard the answer she had expected and the last thing she wanted to hear: That's right, as soon as her in-laws came back, she told her son about the test results, and then taught him step by step: The old Feng family can't cut off the incense, and the daughter born to the first child of the two brothers must have a son. Before you are born, everything is in time.
