Chapter 99: Chapter 99 This plan has gone wrong_1
“Mom, Hanhan, you all are at home, ah, mom, can’t you help look after Erniu?” Thinking of her mother-in-law not going to work and taking care of Hanhan at home, Zhang Cuihua brought Erniu over as well. Originally, Erniu filled time by following her two older brothers to school. But now that her grandma was at home, it was only natural to bring her over.
Zhang Cuihua was taking advantage of the situation.
Last time, the teaching position did not fall to her cousin, but rather to a female zhiqing who was close to Hanhan. That incensed her.
They were clearly family, yet, rather than helping their own, Hanhan was more willing to help a stranger.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Meng Yunhan noticed her clear displeasure immediately. She wondered why her sister-in-law was so noticeably upset with her when she had done nothing to offend her.
Could there be something she did not know about?
Or could it be because her mother-in-law stayed home to take care of her instead of going to work?
And her sister-in-law was upset over this?
Meng Yunhan was confused. After a moment’s thought, she decided not to dwell on it.
Little did she know, something was indeed amiss.
“Alright,” Yunhan’s mother was actually wary of her granddaughter interacting with her daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law, pregnant with a big belly, what if Erniu accidentally bumped into her?
But if she refused, who knew what snide comments the eldest daughter-in-law might make.
The eldest son’s family brought Erniu over, and the second son’s family would likely send their little grandson over tomorrow.
Both daughters-in-law hate to be at a disadvantage.
Seeing her mother-in-law readily agree, Zhang Cuihua couldn’t help but squeeze out a smile, “Well then, I’ll have to trouble mother.”
Then, without looking back, she left.
In fact, Erniu really liked playing with her little aunt because she always had delicious food.
“Little aunt.”
Yunhan’s mother watched her little granddaughter, “Erniu, let granny tell you, don’t get too close to your little aunt. Your little aunt has a baby brother in her belly.”
Erniu pouted, “Mom said it’s a little sister.”
Yunhan’s mother was embarrassed and a bit angry. She knew why the eldest daughter-in-law hoped for a granddaughter from her second daughter-in-law, fearing that a grandson would receive more love from the grandparents.
She even told her daughter that the baby in her little aunt’s belly was a girl.
Did she think that would upset her?
When had she ever preferred boys over girls? She was not like other women.
She would be adding a granddaughter this time, and hopefully a grandson the next time.
Meng Yunhan understood now why her sister-in-law wanted her to have a girl.
Too bad, her sister-in-law’s calculations were off.
The sister-in-law was oversimplifying things.
“Hanhan, don’t pay any mind to your sister-in-law’s petty calculations. Maybe she said it as a joke to Erniu.” With a softer voice, Yunhan’s mother began to explain to Meng Yunhan.
Erniu looked at her grandma, then at her little aunt, her face filled with confusion.
Did she say something wrong?
Her mother was the one who said it?
She said the baby in the little aunt’s belly is a sister. Is it not a sister?
“It’s okay, mom, whether it’s a son or a daughter. Ahao and I plan to have a second child.” Also, her mother-in-law already had a grandson, so it’s not like she didn’t have a grandson. Even if she had two daughters, her mother-in-law wouldn’t say anything, right?
With relief, Yunhan’s mother feared that Meng Yunhan would take the matter to heart and even tell Ahao, which would further distance them from the eldest son’s family.
She needed to tell her husband about this, so he could talk to his eldest son. As for the teaching job, Hanhan knew nothing about it, and why that zhiqing woman got the job, nobody knew.
