PFC Chapter 212 Nameless
Chapter 212 Nameless
Moreover, Pan Hong's sister-in-law had no breast milk, so the child drank rice water mixed with inferior milk powder and was constantly scolded by Pan Yi.
They said some really nasty things about her, like she'd been seducing men twice and still couldn't produce enough milk, and that raising her was less desirable than raising a dairy cow.
While thinking about these things, Fu Leyi probably also thought of this question, so she asked Lin Yuyao, "Are they still living in the apartment downstairs from yours?"
Her parents didn't want her to worry about this, and she never asked about it.
She did remember the suggestion Pan Hong made during the divorce.
She wasn't an unfeeling person; the eldest sister-in-law of the Pan family was also a pitiful person.
It wasn't time yet, but I was dragged off to have surgery.
Since it was the Lunar New Year, they didn't bother to chase people away.
"It's still there. I saw it yesterday."
Fu Leyi nodded and said, "That's it."
After saying that, she looked up at her mother, Zhang Fangfang, and said, "It's about time they left."
Zhang Fangfang said, "Your dad's idea is to wait until Wang Mei's case is over before kicking them out. Once the case is over, we'll have nothing to do with them anymore."
"When will the trial begin?"
"They don't start work until tomorrow, so they need to prepare. The trial will start in three days. It just so happens to coincide with the Chinese New Year, otherwise the trial would have started much earlier."
Having figured things out, Fu Leyi asked Lin Yuyao, "How is Pan's eldest sister-in-law recovering?"
"Well... I'm not too sure either, but I did see her carrying clothes downstairs to hang them out to dry."
Zhang Fangfang said, "Then it should be fine. In this cold weather, I can wash my own clothes."
"Fine then. They treated me like this, but I'll keep the house and wait until she's recovered from childbirth before kicking them out. That's fair enough."
"Of course! We've been too good to them, that's why they've taken advantage of us."
Zhang Fangfang gets very angry whenever Pan Hong's family is mentioned.
They were a perfectly good family, and to have to deal with a family like this would make anyone angry.
Luo Feng said, "Sister-in-law, thankfully Xiao Yi has gotten a divorce now. Let's not think about the past anymore and look forward to the future."
“My wonderful daughter is now divorced with a child, and it will be hard for her to find a partner in the future. I want to forget the past, but look at all this, how can I not think about it?”
Fu Leyi said, "I wanted a child, and I already have one. Why would I look for another? I'm not looking anymore."
“Hey, you’re still so young. How can you not find someone? With the one-child policy, a couple can only have one child. If you find another unmarried person, you can have another one. That’s a good thing.”
Everyone: "..."
Who just said that she was a wonderful girl who ended up as a divorced woman with a child?
Now they say it's a good thing.
"A good thing? Are you all pressuring me to get married just so we can have another child?"
"Why do you say that? Of course I want you to be happy."
"I feel that living like this is happiness now."
"How can that be? You're so young..."
"Sister-in-law." Seeing that the disagreement was about to escalate into an argument, Luo Feng quickly spoke up to stop her from continuing. "Let's talk about this later. Xiao Yi has just finished her postpartum confinement. How can she be in the mood to find someone else?"
As he spoke, he kept winking and making faces at her.
Zhang Fangfang took a deep breath before her tone slowed down.
"Of course we'll follow your lead. Don't overthink it, just focus on raising the child first."
Fu Leyi remained silent, looking at her daughter in the cradle without saying a word.
Lin Yuyao stood there awkwardly.
Zhang Fangfang then said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Lin Yuyao smiled and shook her head. As an outsider, she couldn't offer her opinion on such matters.
"By the way, how many siblings do you have?"
"Three. I have an older brother and a younger brother."
"Oh, that's great. In the countryside, your family isn't considered to have many children, is it?"
"Yes, families with five or six children are the most common. However, since the one-child policy was implemented, there are fewer children now."
Zhang Fangfang nodded and said, "There are just too many people. There isn't enough food to eat. If we don't control it, each family will have five or six children, and the tree bark on the mountain will be eaten clean. Family planning is the right thing to do."
Even though their family was well-off and really wanted to have more children, she still felt that family planning was the right thing to do and was willing to support it.
Luo Feng, who was standing nearby, asked again, "What do your brothers do for a living?"
“My brother used to work in a coal mine, but he quit his job during the Spring Festival. He got married during the Spring Festival and plans to work in a city near our hometown with his new wife after the Spring Festival.”
"Oh, it's good that it's closer, it'll be easier to go home. What about your brother? Is he working now?"
"No, he's a freshman at university in Nancheng."
Lin Yuyao said that her younger brother, Lin Ping, attends the same school that Fu Huaiyi used to attend, and they just sent him there today.
Their impression was that Lin Yuyao's family lived in the countryside.
It's not easy for a family in the countryside to raise a college student.
During their casual conversation, they learned quite a bit about Lin Yuyao's family situation.
Just then, Fu Huaiyi came upstairs. He knocked on the door, and they stopped talking.
Luo Feng: "What are you doing up here? You should stay downstairs and talk to your grandfather."
"He's reading the newspaper and doesn't want me to disturb him."
Weird.
"Yaoyao, let me take you out for a walk."
Lin Yuyao glanced at Fu Leyi and the others.
Zhang Fangfang smiled and gestured to her before Lin Yuyao followed Fu Huaiyi away.
Once she leaves, they'll be able to say what they couldn't say earlier.
“This girl seems quite nice, but her family’s financial situation is indeed just average.” Zhang Fangfang looked at Luo Feng, sighed and said, “Don’t blame me for being blunt, but my family is terrified of the Pan family. You still need to take Ayi’s marriage seriously. If we end up with some troublesome relatives, it won’t matter even if they are thousands of miles away.”
Luo Feng frowned and nodded.
That's right, they met that family when their eldest niece got married.
They all looked quite simple and honest, but they spoke more eloquently than anyone else.
Every word he uttered was flawless, and he completely charmed them.
As for sending his son to become a live-in son-in-law, Pan Hong's mother said that the family was poor and they couldn't afford to marry two wives. They originally planned to send their youngest son to become a live-in son-in-law.
Why send the more promising youngest son out?
Because people said that her youngest son was in college, and if she left him in her hometown to farm, it would be harming him. For the sake of her child, she was very happy for him to have a home in the big city.
Her kind words moved them all. They felt that it was truly difficult for this mother to raise several children on her own, and that she was wholeheartedly devoted to her children.
Judging from her words and actions, her ideological awareness is fine.
But little did they know, they were just pretending, only saying what they wanted to hear.
Having learned from the Pan family's example, they were also afraid.
At this point, Fu Leyi said, "Marrying a wife and marrying a son-in-law are different. There are sons-in-law who have returned to their ancestral home after three generations, but have you ever seen a wife who has returned to her ancestral home after three generations?"
