Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, I finally decided to return to Jinhai. As expected, although the affairs of Jinhai are complicated and numerous, the inheritance left by the older generation is a treasure if it is properly sorted out. It would be the worst choice if none of the three heads of the Fu family stayed in Jinhai.

So I stayed in Jinhai for two years, raising the children while quietly taking over some of the properties. As the days passed, my assets doubled. I was not much worse than the other heads of the family. More and more people in the old house supported me. When my second uncle found that I was showing signs of being too rich, I successfully brought the children to me. I didn't give too much face to the second wife. My sister-in-law and brother couldn't live apart forever. When Zhou Yi was old enough to drink breast milk, I immediately sent my sister-in-law and Zhou Yi back to Huangyang. It's just that I asked Chen Yining for Zhou Zhi right after they left.

As a younger sister, I should be praised for staying at home and taking care of my brother's children while he works away from home. And it is true. Except for Lu Zeyun, who is always trying to make himself felt. He told me that it would be better to give a pair of shoes than just one, and brought his own daughter Yaya here. Then he turned around and went on a business trip, without giving me the option to refuse.

Brother, if you want to go to work, then I won't go to work? We are good friends, but your daughter wants her parents instead of her aunt! Zhou Zhi cries eight times but her cry is not as loud as one! If you do this, I will charge extra childcare fees!

Lu Zeyun nodded heavily and made an OK gesture. I thought I could happily take the money, but the family who had just taken the child home sent me a message saying that his gesture actually meant that he would not consider paying more than three yuan.

Me: ... Well, forget it. It's the same to raise one as it is to raise two. At most, I just have a few more children. I can just treat them all as my own. That's all... Lingling Yunyun Zhou Zhi Yaya Yangyang Jinjin, oh my god! Six?! I don't seem to be that fertile. The key is that this is based on the premise that I just sent one away?

My friends who learned about this expressed deep sympathy. Xiao Haizi laughed a little louder. Lulu avenged me by stealing his son and sending him to kindergarten. Xiangyang asked me if he could send his sister over as well. He thought Yanyan disturbed his and Mo Nian’s world of two, but don’t I want to live a peaceful life?! So I decisively mocked him back: How can we have a world of two if Mo Nian doesn’t care about you at all?

Unexpectedly, when Xiangyang heard this, she not only sent Yanyan back to me, but also lived in the old house for a while! She cried and asked me if Mo Nian had changed her mind. I could only comfort her perfunctorily. Anyway, it was so easy to guess what Mo Nian was thinking. She didn't ignore Xiangyang on purpose. She ignored everyone. The only thing that interested her now was to steal Rongrong from me.

But this is not okay! The cats she raised look like pigs! How can a kitten be so fat? That would be a torture for the cat's life!

Xiangyang left after listening to my comfort. Before leaving, he was cunning enough not to take Yanyan with him. He stepped on the accelerator and drove back to Linjiang. I suspected that I had fallen into a trap, but I had no evidence.

So I successfully raised my seventh child, who was just five or six years old, an age that even dogs dislike. Not only that, the generations of these six children together were also messed up!

I can't even wake up when I sleep!

After this lesson, what advice do I have for my friends?

Go give birth to my daughter, go raise my nephew, go take care of my younger brothers and sisters, get up early every morning to play shooting games with a small gun and shoot at you, and if you can't hit me from a distance, you can shoot me in the nose to wake up your sleeping soul.

"Gently wake up the sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes...sister, why don't you open your eyes yet?" Yanyan asked me this soul-searching question in my ear after knocking the wooden fish on my forehead.

I wanted to cry but I couldn't: "You are just a kid! You don't go to work or school, why do you get up so early--"

Yanyan tilted her head and said, "Sister, I'm in kindergarten. I'm on summer vacation now."

"When do you start school?"

"My brother told me that I don't want to go back to Linjiang to study. He withdrew my application from there and asked you to find a new school for me in Jinhai. So I don't know when my new school will start."

When I heard this, I was struck by lightning and turned my head away: "Son, did you know that your brother sold you out?"

Yanyan nodded: "No, my brother said that you didn't sell me out because you didn't give him money."

"You still want me to give him money! He hasn't given it to me yet! He didn't even give me your tuition! Has Uncle Hou taught him how to do business recently? He's so good at it." I turned over and covered my head with the quilt: "Yanyan, be good, sister will sleep for a while, you go out and play with Yaya."

"But my sister is making a lot of noise outside, don't you want to take care of it today?"

I sighed and shouted at the top of my voice: "Lingling, don't bully your uncle! Yunyun, don't pull Zhouzhi's hair, your brother is almost out of hair! Kekedou, don't bite Zhaosi! And, Wangcai, did you steal Rongrong's cat food again? Why are you a dog eating cat food all the time!"

Yanyan exclaimed: "Wow, sister, you know what we are doing without even looking at it?"

I snorted, "You must be kidding. How can I open a kindergarten without this ability? This is also a zoo. There are cats, dogs, foxes, corn snakes and everything else..."

Yanyan nodded and went out. Yangyang ran back crying to me for a hug. I just hugged my baby and slept for a while. In my dreams, they would all go back to school in another half a month, and I would be free. Unfortunately, before I could sleep for a while, I felt a hand reaching out from under the quilt and pinching the back of my neck: "Wake up, it's already six o'clock."

"Why do you have to get up at six o'clock? Who has nothing to do so gets up at six o'clock?" I muttered and pushed my hand away, not bothering to think about who this was.

However, this man was quite persistent. He came back and pinched my face again: "The young master is back, aren't you going out to pick him up?"

"Why are you still picking him up when he's already at the doorstep? Doesn't he have legs? Can't he walk back by himself? He's already so old, do I have to coax him like Yangyang did..."

"That's true, but didn't you ask him to come back? He said he missed you a lot."

I sneered, "Wow, you miss me so much, then tell him to come into my bed and I'll think about him. Besides, didn't I ask him to come back because of my dad's death anniversary? Does that mean my dad isn't his dad?"

The man seemed to agree, and didn't touch me for a few seconds. But just when I thought I could sleep well, a pair of big hands reached into the quilt again, hooked my waist and dragged me out. I felt cold for a while, and before I could react, Feng Shizhi had already put me firmly on the ground, patted my shoulder and said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but you put the children in my room, and I can't stand you being so comfortable here! So I'm rewarding you by letting you get up and go back to sleep!"

Me: Huh?

Yangyang also woke up, holding her round belly and laughing at me. Zhizhi couldn't stand it anymore, so she grabbed the kid's hand and dragged him out: "You were the one who sprayed me with a water gun this morning! You little bastard made it so hard for me to find you, so you ran to your sister's place to hide away!"

"He sprayed you with the water gun, not me! Why are you bothering me? I worked on the plan until two o'clock yesterday, and I only slept for four hours! Today is the anniversary of the old man's death. Do you know that I will be busy from noon to night? You won't let me sleep a little longer!" I pulled his sleeve and almost jumped up in anger. I turned around and reminded Yangyang: "Come and help your sister! Where's your water gun?"

"Here I come!" Yangyang jumped up and took out a plastic bucket from the cupboard that was bigger than his little head and connected it to the water gun, soaking Zhizhi like a drowned chicken on the spot. He didn't know whether he would be beaten in the future, but revenge was certain now.

"Alright! Alright, alright, I was wrong..." Zhizhi begged for mercy, stretched out his hand and dragged me to the front: "Little aunt, I really have something to talk to you about. I was just joking, have you forgotten? Didn't you say before that the second and third rooms should be raised to the same level as ours, so that Second Uncle won't be embarrassed to be of the same generation as you in name. Young Master has brought back the sign of the head of the family, and it will be moved back in the morning. It will be at noon later when everyone is here and they will understand your intention. Second Uncle will be embarrassed to cause trouble for you."

I came to my senses, pushed everyone out and hurried to change clothes. I still remembered that I discovered this three years ago, but I forgot about it after I had children and raised them. It was only recently when my second uncle seemed to be keeping an eye on me that I remembered it. I discussed it with Chengcheng, and waited for Chengcheng to finish his work and have some free time. Today I almost missed the best opportunity.

On the anniversary of the old man's death, the whole old house was pitch black or white, and the sky was overcast. As soon as I went out, a gust of wind blew over, and it felt a bit cold even in the summer. I wore a black suit skirt and went out to pick up Lingling, Yunyun and Zhou Zhi. Together with Yangyang and Jinjin, they all wore black or white clothes. Yanyan and Yaya were children from other families, so I changed them into dark clothes according to the local customs. After making the arrangements, I asked the nanny to take the children to the backyard to play, and I hurried to the ancestral hall. Chengcheng was already there and pulled me aside.

The ceremony was already halfway through, Bu Yincong, at the head, was busy asking other people in charge to gently move the tablets up one by one. In fact, the number was not large, but they just wanted to show the so-called solemnity, and they wanted to beat the rhythm with every step. But after all, they were things of an old friend, so I could understand being cautious, and it didn't matter anyway because I wasn't moving them myself.

Feeling relieved, he pulled Cheng Cheng's sleeve and lowered his voice: "So you didn't plan to wake me up early at all, it was Feng Shizhi's own idea, right?"

"Yeah, you can't blame me for this. At most, I asked him if he got up, but my brother-in-law said viciously with a pair of panda-like dark circles under his eyes that he would go and call you now."

A key word touched a point of dislike in me, and I automatically poked Cheng Cheng with my elbow. The latter also realized it and said in a sarcastic manner: "You can't blame me for this. I went home and heard them calling me "uncle", "uncle". I thought you got married secretly without telling me."

"They are looking forward to my marriage and currying favor with me. Do you want that too? I have no objection if you agree. Anyway, I feel exhausted taking care of your two nephews by myself. It would definitely be a good idea to find a father for them." I shrugged.

The kid's face fell immediately, "No! Of course I don't agree! You already spend very little time with me, and if you have another child with him, do you think I'll be around? You can't be partial, I'm your real brother, you said that no matter if it's a child or a sibling, you'll be the best with whoever spends the most time with you, I promise I'll be number one."

"I've seen a lot of mama's boys, but this is the first time I've seen a sister's boy. It's really eye-opening." I pouted.

Chengzi was still very proud: "How can this be the first time? Isn't Yangyang more clingy than me? That thing, if you don't know, you would think it's your illegitimate child. Can his mother's boy be bigger than his sister's boy? We don't even know where his mother is."

"In Liu Dexuan, Southwest Courtyard." I replied immediately. Seeing Cheng Cheng looking at me speechlessly, I had to pat him on the shoulder and get down to business. "If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten it. Cheng Ling's health has not been good in the past few years. We have always locked her up, and her range of activities is only in the Southwest Courtyard. It's not that she hasn't tried to get out in the past two years. She also begged me several times, saying that she just wanted to see Yangyang. It's not that I didn't consider it. We are both mothers, and I am a little soft-hearted. It's just that she scared Yangyang when she saw him before, causing Yangyang to really resist now. I even got sick when I discussed it with him, fearing that I would not want him. Cheng Ling begged again a few days ago, saying that she didn't want to be alone with Yangyang. For this sacrifice, she also came out to burn incense for the old man, and just looked at the child from a distance, and her attitude was as humble as possible. I thought that Yangyang was not yet twelve years old anyway, and he would kowtow in the ancestral hall for the sacrifice and leave. How about agreeing?"

"I'm not really happy about letting him see her. Cheng Ling was normal before, but now she's like a madman. She doesn't want to take Yangyang away, and she wants to use our resources to educate Yangyang, and she also wants Yangyang to have a deep mother-son relationship with her. How can that be possible? Do I owe her that? Why doesn't she let me call her little mom? She's so shameless." Cheng Cheng rolled her eyes in disgust, then sighed and looked at me, "But you've always been in charge of Yangyang's affairs, so you decide. I'm afraid that if she gets agitated again during the ceremony, it'll cause trouble."

I roughly understood the meaning. Chengcheng has already given me the answer. The question said that Cheng Ling met Yangyang, but secretly Chengcheng also hid the question of whether he still wanted to see Cheng Ling again. When Lu Yinyin was still there, Cheng Ling was her biggest enemy. Although Chengcheng has given up on Lu Yinyin, his biological mother, Lu Yinyin's face is still involved with him. Chengcheng cares about his dignity the most, not to mention that he is now the official head of the family.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." I responded.

The phone suddenly rang, and the voice came from Chengcheng's pocket. This "solemn" scene was interrupted. The moment Bu Yincong turned around with a group of managers was quite creepy. Chengcheng was a little embarrassed and quickly hung up the phone, but not long after, the phone rang again. He had to signal and went out. I was the only one guarding the ancestral hall, but after all, I was not the head of the family, so Bu Yincong still felt a little awkward. He was always talkative and had rules written on his face, so he couldn't help but say a few words. Unfortunately, when I was ready, two people suddenly broke into the ancestral hall, Aunt Cui from Yifengyuan and Aunt Zhou from Xiuchunlou, and happened to interrupt the spell. Bu Yincong immediately became like a mute.

I really didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Maybe it's because they are old and sleep less. Second grandma and third grandma get up early, and when I was half asleep, they had already known everything about the old house. Even Chengcheng, who usually doesn't like to make a fuss, knew about it first, and even asked their subordinates to witness this "historical moment" with their own eyes. They were saved by Chengcheng and I after being severely betrayed by the old man. It can be considered a good deed.

Aunt Zhou was okay. After all, Third Grandma only cared about her son's future and reputation, so she just bowed to me respectfully. I returned the greeting. But in the blink of an eye, Aunt Cui was about to burst into tears. I don't know how much she empathized with Second Grandma. Even her resentment towards Grandpa and her sincere love for Grandpa were shown on her face. She was grateful to me on behalf of Second Grandma and invited me to Yifengyuan to talk to Second Grandma on the spot. Even Bu Yincong was dumbfounded.

I pointed out the ongoing ceremony to Aunt Cui, who wiped her tears and smiled easily, "It's just a performance for the dead. Sincerity is the most important thing. The Second Madam told me to invite the young lady over immediately if the matter is true. It's only troublesome for Master Bu to watch it himself."

I smiled and bowed slightly again.

Perhaps in the eyes of Second Grandma, it was truly sincere, but unfortunately, that was her way towards Grandpa, not me. If her son's eyes had not been firmly fixed on me, I would not be willing to do such a big thing to please him. It's not that I don't respect my elders, but I'm really afraid that if their tablets were moved to the same position as my grandma's, my grandma would be so disgusted that she would vomit when she saw people in the underworld.

But I think grandma wouldn't want her three young grandchildren to be killed by the second wife, so I had to go against my elders' wishes for once.
