Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 336: Can I see my grandson for 500?

Lin Qingxuan recalled when he and his parents arrived at his eldest brother's mother-in-law's house.

His elder brother Lin Sheng was washing diapers for the baby in the yard.

"Big brother!"

Lin Qingxuan walked up to him and greeted him, while Lin Sheng looked at them silently, said nothing, and lowered his head to continue washing diapers.

At this time, Li Hongling's mother came out of the room and said in a weird tone:

"Hey, who is this? Oh, it's my in-laws. What a rare guest. I haven't seen you for a long time. I almost didn't recognize you. But in-laws, didn't you separate from your son? Why are you here at my house?"

Liu Huizhen took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"We came to see the child. His father met Lin Sheng at the factory a few days ago and asked him when Hong Ling would give birth and whether he needed help taking care of the child. He didn't say anything. We only found out today that she had given birth."

"Hey, in-laws, before the child was born, you didn't care about them. Now that you know it's a grandson, you come to see him? Let me tell you, no way!"

Li Hongling's mother stood in the yard with her hands on her waist and shouted loudly.

"When Hongling was pregnant, she said that she could only rest well at her in-laws' house. We agreed to their wish and gave them some money after dividing the family property.

Some time ago, I asked Lao Li to give Lin Sheng another 100 yuan, so that he could buy some delicious food for Hong Ling to nourish her body and not suffer when the baby is born.

It is also to avoid some people saying that they don't care about it after the division. In-laws, I wonder if Lin Sheng didn't use the 100 yuan on Hongling?"

Liu Huizhen calmly replied to Li Hongling's mother, then looked at her eldest son who was washing diapers in the yard.

"Lin Sheng, you didn't give the money your father gave you last time to Hong Ling?"

Lin Sheng then looked up at his mother-in-law.

"Give it!"

Everyone present knew who the money was given to, and Li Hongling's mother was not embarrassed.

"One hundred yuan for one pregnancy, what can I do with it? It's not even enough for food. I still have to support them."

"I remember that Lin Sheng and Hong Ling both had salaries. They had salaries that were not low, and they had hands and feet, so they could do their own things. Lin Sheng also had a lot of fun washing the baby's diapers. Why would they need you, my in-law, to support them?"

If Liu Huizhen didn't want to see her grandson, she really didn't want to stay here for a minute. Seeing her eldest son's stupid and disappointing appearance, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Oh, my dear, you are really good at talking. If Lin Sheng had your eloquence, he wouldn't be bullied like this by you."

Li Hongling's mother couldn't win the argument with Liu Huizhen, so she started to make trouble.

"Lin Sheng, you poor child, having such parents is a lifelong pain for you. It doesn't matter if you become a single household in the future. I will definitely stand behind you and Hong Ling and support you."

Lin Sheng continued to wash his diapers without saying a word. He neither talked to Liu Huizhen and the others nor responded to his mother-in-law. He just sat there doing his work blankly.

"Lin Sheng, your mother-in-law said you are a single household? Are you a single household?"

Liu Huizhen didn't want to go in to see her grandson at this moment, so she looked at Lin Sheng and asked calmly.

Her answer was still silence.

"Let's go!"

Lin Jianshe, who had been silent, no longer had any desire to see his grandson. He hung the clothes in his hands on the pillar and turned away.

Lin Qingxuan directly helped Liu Huizhen to go outside. Lin Sheng, who had been keeping his head down, finally raised his head and looked at their backs, with a complicated look in his eyes.

When Li Hongling's mother saw Liu Huizhen and the others leave, she immediately yelled:

"Are there any parents like you? You would rather give back the divided house than give it to your son and his wife. You also want to see your grandchildren, but it's absolutely impossible with me around."

On the way back, Lin Qingxuan looked at his depressed parents and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Mom and Dad, if you want grandchildren, I will get married after I graduate and give birth to more children for you to take care of."

The sad couple laughed when they heard this. Yang had ruined one son, but fortunately they still had one. They must take good care of this one and must not ruin him again.

But not long after, Lin Qingxuan came home from school and saw his elder brother Lin Sheng at home. This was the first time he came here after the family split.

He heard Lin Sheng say, "Mom and Dad, my mother-in-law is helping to take care of the child now. Hongling and I have to pay her one part of our salary. After daily expenses, the remaining salary, plus buying malted milk for the child, is not enough to live on."

"It's only right to pay someone to help take care of the child. It's better for your mother-in-law to take care of the child than to ask someone else to do it, and you can be more assured."

Liu Huizhen sat there and didn't want to talk to her son, so it was Lin Jianshe who took over.

"Mom and Dad, when your grandson was born, you didn't give him any money except for making him a few sets of clothes. I don't want much, just give him 500 yuan.

Hongling said, after you give me the money, you can go to see your grandson anytime you want." Lin Sheng said the purpose of today.

"Just 500 yuan to see my grandson?" Liu Huizhen laughed angrily.

"Yes, Hongling said that only 500 is enough. Hongling's mother said that you can give more if you want. She will definitely serve you tea and water every time you go there in the future."

Lin Sheng directly said what his mother-in-law said at home.

"So should I thank her? And thank you too? For giving us the chance to see our grandchildren?"

Liu Huizhen really couldn't help it. She felt that saying one more word would be a waste of her feelings.

"Mom, this is your only chance to ease the relationship between you and Hongling. Last time you went so far as to return the house, Hongling said that she would never come to our house again. This time, she is willing to give you a way out."

Lin Sheng didn't understand what his mother was angry about. Aren't sons and grandchildren more important to people nowadays?

In the past, the family relationship had become strained because of Lin Qingyan. Now that his son is born and the next generation is born, shouldn’t it be time to ease the relationship?

"Thank you, you don't have to worry about us, and you don't have to ease the relationship.

We have no money and we don’t care about this grandson. Thank you, please go away! Don’t come to our house again. We will be strangers from now on.”

Liu Huizhen stood up and went back to her room, closing the door. Lin Sheng and Lin Jianshe were left in the living room. Oh, no, there was also Lin Qingxuan who had already returned.

The three of them stared at each other, and finally Lin Jianshe said:

"Lin Sheng, your mother and I are old and don't have many years left to live. We just want to live the rest of our lives in peace. From now on, you should handle your family affairs by yourselves. We no longer have the energy to help you solve them.

Don't worry, your mother and I will not let you take care of us in our old age, and we won't ask you to report us if we haven't contributed anything. That's it, you can go now!"

Lin Jianshe also stood up and went back to the house to comfort Liu Huizhen. Lin Qingxuan was extremely disappointed with his elder brother at this time and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
