90 Chapter 89, Letting Go
While they were eating, Ji Yuanyuan skillfully picked up some food for Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali with her chopsticks. Her mouth was also very sweet as she called out, “Grandpa, Grandma, you guys eat.”
Wang Yuechu was very pleased and praised, “Yuanyuan is too sensible.”
Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed that Uncle Zhang’s parents were both kind people.
If she was a little sweeter, the two elders would feel better and treat her mother better in the future.
…
The attitude of the Zhang family was simply impeccable. After eating, they stayed with the Zhang family for a while before Zhang Kun left with Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan.
At the village entrance, Wang Yuechu looked at the three people’s disappearing figures and touched the tears at the corner of her eyes emotionally.
Zhang Yao supported her and asked in a low voice, “I heard from Father that she has three children. Is she divorced or has she lost her man?”
Wang Yuechu nodded, “She’s the same as your brother, She has a tough life. She had three children and her man ran away with someone else.”
During this period, the family had been busy. Although it was a neighboring village, Zhang Yao had not returned for a long time. She did not understand Li Xu’s situation.
“Then if she married my Brother and gave birth to one or two more children. She’ll be under a lot of pressure!” Zhang Yao said worriedly.
At the very least, she only had one child, but she will have four children. She had to pay for food, drinks, and living expense. In the future, her brother’s life wouldn’t be easy.
Speaking of which, it was infuriating. Back then, she had introduced her brother to so many people who didn’t have children or had a daughter, but her brother just didn’t like them. He just had to take a liking to those who had three children.
She let out a long sigh. Who asked her big brother to like her! In the future, she and Xiao Jun would just have to take care of their big brother.
Wang Yuechu wiped the corners of her eyes, turned around, and walked back, “Your brother told me that he doesn’t intend to have his biological children.”
When Zhang Yao heard her mother’s words, she was stunned on the spot.
But very soon, she came back to her senses and hurriedly chased after her.
“He doesn’t want his own child anymore? Then what will he do when Brother is old? He won’t even have someone to support his old age. Is he rising someone else’s child for nothing?”
Hearing Zhang Yao’s words, Wang Yuechu shook her head helplessly.
“The child is still young now. As long as you treat them well, they will be no different from your own child. You have also seen that child. She will definitely be a promising one in the future.”
Although she said that, Zhang Yao still felt a little sorry for her brother.
Even her own child might not be reliable. Could other people’s children really be reliable? No matter how promising they were, they would still be other people’s children.
“Moreover, the matter between Yanyan and her mother almost took your Brother’s life back then. It’s not like you don’t know.” As Wang Yuechu spoke, tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Thinking of Yanyan and her mother, Zhang Yao’s expression was also a little sad.
Back then, after that incident, her brother was really depressed for a while and almost didn’t make it.
She hid at home and ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills. If Xiao Jun wasn’t worried and went to take a look, her brother might have been gone long ago.
“To give birth to another biological child. If something happens again, will your Brother still be alive then?”
Wang Yuechu had just finished speaking when Zhang Yao slapped her, “Ptui ptui ptui, hurry up and spit a few mouthfuls of saliva. You can’t say anything unlucky.”
Looking at her daughter who was even more superstitious than herself, Wang Yuechu smiled, “Although the words aren’t pleasant to hear, they’re the truth. Your Brother can’t stand any more changes. Your Father and I have long gotten over it. As long as your Brother is fine, it’s better than anything else. If he doesn’t want to give birth, then so be it. When your Brother is old, your Father and I will have long left. We won’t have to worry about it then.”
Zhang Yao didn’t expect her parents to be so open-minded! She thought of something, but when she thought of Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan’s faces, she swallowed her words.
Her future Sister-in-law and that child didn’t look like heartless people. Who knows, they might grow up to be good!
The mother and daughter silently walked in front while Zhang Dali and Zhang Jun followed behind.
On the other side, after Zhang Kun and Li Xu left, they went to the bank in the county town and withdrew some money before returning to Li Xu’s hometown.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang had not been by Li Xu’s side all day. When they saw Li Xu, they surrounded her.
Ji Zi’ang’s mouth was full of questions, “Mom, do Uncle Zhang’s parents like you very much? Is their house close to ours?”
Although Ji Zixuan did not say anything, he looked at Li Xu expectantly.
“They like Mom and me very much. They’re also very close to our house. Grandpa and Grandma even invited us to bring the two of you with us next time,” Ji Yuanyuan replied in a childish voice.
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Ji Zi’ang hurriedly nodded his head, “Okay, okay. Big Brother and I will go next time.”
Li Yong and the others also came out of the house. When they heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, they subconsciously looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu pursed her lips and nodded her head.
From her expression, Li Xu looked a little shy and did not seem to be sad at all. To be honest, she did not feel wronged when she went to Zhang Kun’s house.
This time, the Li family of four finally put their hearts at ease.
Especially Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua. Ever since they knew that their eldest daughter didn’t plan to have children anymore, their hearts had always been on the line.
They were also parents. If Li Yong brought back a woman who didn’t plan to have children with the Li family in the future, would they accept it?
Perhaps they would accept it, but they would definitely not like that woman from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, they had always been worried, afraid that Zhang Kun’s parents would not like Little Xu.
Now that they knew the result, the two of them were both surprised and pleasantly surprised.
It seemed that Xiao Xu had met a good family this time.
Summer’s daytime was longer. Although it was already past five, the sky was still very bright.
Li Xu put the things down and asked Li Yong, “How are the preparations going? Have you contacted them?”
Li Yong nodded, “I’ve contacted them, the steel pipes will be sent over tomorrow. We haven’t contacted the thin film provider yet. We’ll have to wait for the structure of the shed to be built before we can take the measurements. There’s also the thermal blanket. I think we can do it ourselves. We can save quite a bit of money!”
Li Xu nodded in satisfaction when she heard Li Yong’s explanation.
As she spoke, she took out an envelope from her bosom, “This is 5,000 yuan, it should be enough.”
When Li Yong saw her take out 5,000 yuan, he immediately asked in surprise, “Sis, where did you get the money?”
After saying that, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Kun, “Master, you took out some money too?”
He frowned, “This is our family’s problem. How can we let Master pay for it? I still have some money here. If it’s not enough, use mine.”
Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and smiled.
“I wanted to buy shares, but your Sister didn’t let me. This money was earned by your Sister herself, ” Zhang Kun said.
Li Yong knew that when he bought the house and renovated it last winter, his sister didn’t have a single cent left.
Even the children’s school fees were borrowed from him.
In just half a year, she had earned so much money?
