Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 613 - 86: Eat Some Fried Pancakes First_2

...

Meanwhile, in the next room, seeing that it’s almost noon and time to cook, the daughter looks exhausted, but the son-in-law and his sister-in-law are still in good spirits.

Aunt Niu, as a mother, is naturally concerned for her child. After coaxing and persuading them to settle into their respective rooms, she pulled her daughter aside and asked:

"Don’t rush to sleep just yet, tell me clearly, when you two got married, didn’t mention Jian Country had a younger sister!"

Niu Hong was also frustrated: "When I was pregnant with the first girl, he brought the introduction letter claiming she’s his aunt’s cousin, saying her family was all gone."

Speaking of this, even the most open-minded person would harbor some resentment.

"...At home, she does nothing, just waits for food and drink. If you say a couple of words, her tears start falling, and when Jian Country comes home, he gets mad at me..."

Niu Hong said helplessly, "I just treat it as raising another daughter."

Aunt Niu’s eyebrows were sharply raised!

"Who raises a daughter like that! Tell me honestly, did you get any sleep on the train yourself?"

Niu Hong, being straightforward, meant she wasn’t very good at lying, and hesitated for a moment, so Aunt Niu noticed.

"Alright then! Their sibling act earlier really tugged at the heartstrings, but how come no one seems to care about you?"

After thinking for a bit, she added:

"Hong, you’ve got to find a way to stay in Beijing!"

"Didn’t you say before that Jian Country wants a son? But you definitely need to go to college, so what is going on with going to school with a big belly? Can you really learn anything?"

"By the time you graduate, you’ll be older, and having another one won’t be suitable either."

In this era, giving birth at an older age is still very risky.

"And what if it’s another daughter!"

Aunt Niu spoke with a compassionate heart, not wanting to be deflating, but seeing something was off today, she had to clarify.

As for Chen Jian Country wanting a son, she didn’t react as strongly.

After all, according to today’s mainstream thinking, a man without a son has no ability to continue the family line, and the women in the family will be gossiped about!

But any mother loves her own child.

Currently, conditions are as they are, and if they have another son, how could Chen Jian Country manage the household alone?

Aunt Niu suggested her daughter stay in Beijing, also thinking that her family is here, so if any conflicts arose, they could assist and support her daughter, preventing her from being wronged.

Truly from a mother’s heart.

Niu Hong listened with tears welling up in her eyes.

—After all these years in the countryside, how could there be no grievances?

Not to mention, she is properly educated, having memorized the leadership quotes thoroughly, and she is unwilling to give up the opportunity to attend college!

"Mom!"

Her voice carried a sobbing tone:

"It’s still you who treat me well..."

Once she started, she couldn’t control the words she had bottled up inside.

"You don’t know, while I was preparing for exams, I still had to take care of the younger sister-in-law at home, and both daughters. One time, when the kids had a fever, Jian Country lost his temper, saying since I already had two kids, why bother going to college..."

"I should make sure everything at home is fine so he can study without any distractions."

There was only one set of study materials, two people using it is nothing like one person using it, right?

Aunt Niu was almost exploding with anger!

Right then, she wished she could grab a big broom and chase that foolish son-in-law out, but no matter how open-minded she was, family affairs should still prioritize harmony.

At this moment, she had to grit her teeth and decide to use other methods to give the big son-in-law a little nudge.

"And your little sister-in-law doesn’t help out at all?"

Niu Hong looked exhausted:

"She’s preparing for exams too."

With three people using one set of materials, how could Chen Jian Country not complain that she couldn’t manage the household well?

There simply weren’t any workers at home.

After work every day, eating was just gulping down cold water with steamed buns, fearing it would waste even a little time.

Remember, there were no conditions for staying up all night, where in the village would there be electric lights? Even kerosene required ration coupons!

So, every bit of usable time was truly precious.

Aunt Niu was trembling with anger—

Alright. You two siblings are focused on university entrance, but want my daughter to stay home, what does this mean?

"Da Hong, you’re doing the right thing!"

"Even if you haven’t gotten into university yet, I’ve heard of many people having divorces, saying their minds can’t keep up."

"If you support him now, by the time he goes to university, who knows if he’ll still be your husband!"

Speaking with her own daughter, Aunt Niu finally got to the point, thinking about it made her teeth itch.

But now that it’s all in the past, for the sake of family harmony, she could only grit her teeth and say:

"I’ll gently remind him later!"

"In our Old Niu family, daughters are also treasures in the family, not just to be beasts of burden for men!"

These years, inside and outside the house relied on Da Hong, didn’t they? Managing the household, there’s no reason to serve even the little sister-in-law to the fullest!

With this in mind, the matter of settling in Beijing becomes urgent!

Aunt Niu took a look outside, and asked in a low voice:

"Honestly, how much money do you have in hand?"

Niu Hong replied in a low voice: "We have 795 on the surface, but I’ve secretly saved some myself, it’s 120."

This was all from what her family mailed over the years, bit by bit saved over the years in the countryside.

Otherwise, what they earned in the countryside was only enough to survive.

Aunt Niu immediately made a decision: "They’re sleeping now, if you’re not tired, let’s set the house down now, put the household registration in your name!"

"I’ll lend you 200 first for daily needs, don’t tell the two of them."

This was originally her daughter’s money, with the son-in-law being unclear, she had to straighten things out.

Niu Hong widened her eyes:

"Mom, this isn’t..."

"Listen to me!"

Aunt Niu’s eyes widened, her heart pounding.

She didn’t know why she made such a decision, but over the years, the family lived peacefully relying on her mind, so this time, without room for discussion, she dragged her daughter out the door.

As soon as they had left, Chen Wen Juan carefully knocked on Chen Jian Country’s room door:

"Brother, the two of them have gone out."

Now, only the two sleeping daughters and Old Man Niu, who was tidying up things in the yard, were left at home.

The entire house was empty.

Chen Jian Country hugged her waist—

"Wen Juan, don’t worry, once we get into college, I’ll definitely make sure you have a good life!"
