Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born

Jiang Jie brought her mother to L City again during the National Day holiday, exactly three years after their last visit. This time, the mother and daughter did not go to Linjia Village, but went directly to a mobile phone store in the city. When they arrived, it was evening, and the store was busy with people coming and going.

In addition to the cashier Chen Yuanyuan, the store also hired a salesperson. This salesperson is no ordinary person. Chen Yuanyuan hired him at a high salary. He has rich sales experience and a remarkable historical performance. Xiao Yan and Chen Yuanyuan are of the same age. The two work together to manage the store in an orderly manner, which is admirable.

Jiang Jie walked around the store and did not see Lin Musen.

Initially, when Lin Musen and Chen Yuanyuan were running the store together, they were quite harmonious. However, after pursuing Chen Yuanyuan for half a year without success, Lin Musen agreed to a blind date at the urging of Lin's mother.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyu was pushed in front of Lin Musen by her mother, who had always liked her. From then on, after Jiang Jie clearly ordered Lin Xiaoyu not to allow Lin family members to appear in the store again, she also stopped letting Lin Musen come over.

She had inquired and found out that Lin Musen had only had the opportunity to marry Chen Yuanyuan after he had pursued her to no avail. She didn't want her man to hang around the woman he liked all day long. More importantly, Lin Jiesheng also lived in the store, and she didn't want Lin Musen to develop feelings with this son every day. So, she used all means to keep Lin Musen by her side.

After Lin Musen left the store, the money he received every month was enough to support his family, so he followed his wife's wishes and stayed at home with her. The couple also became frequent customers of the village mahjong hall. As time went by, Lin Musen had even less interest in working in the store.

Jiang Jie felt bad when she heard Chen Yuanyuan talking about the store on the phone. Chen Yuanyuan didn't talk on the phone before, firstly because Jiang Jie was very busy at work and the time for each call was limited, she didn't want to bother her best friend with these trivial matters; secondly, she knew that Jiang Jie was particularly disgusted with the Lin family, and she didn't want to mention their affairs to upset her good friend thousands of miles away.

After Lin Xiaoyu found out that Lin Jiesheng went to follow his godmother, half of the money Lin Musen gave him was missing, so she wanted to check the account at the store. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanyuan directly rejected her, saying that she had no right. After several moves with Chen Yuanyuan, Lin Xiaoyu found that she was not her opponent at all, so she did not dare to confront her head-on. But she was unwilling to give up, so she always said bad things about Chen Yuanyuan in front of Lin Musen, hoping that he would vent his anger for her.

Lin Musen is not a particularly ambitious man. He plays cards every day to accompany his wife, and can sleep until he wakes up naturally. He earns more than a thousand yuan a month. Compared with his previous job in the south, he worked all day and the monthly salary was less than a thousand yuan. In comparison, he is too content with his current life. When he heard Xiaoyu complain, he also patiently persuaded Lin Xiaoyu.

"Let's just enjoy our retirement now and think of a solution when our baby grows up. If you go to Chen Yuanyuan to argue about this now, the money you earned might be taken back by the baby's mother. She is a very protective woman." Lin Musen knew Jiang Jie very well, otherwise he wouldn't be so content with the status quo.

Lin Xiaoyu had never met Jiang Jie. When Lin Musen first got married, she often heard Lin's mother complain to her mother about her daughter-in-law when she returned to her parents' home and excitedly talked about how to punish her. She listened to some of it at the time, so now she doesn't take this weak Jiang Jie seriously, thinking that if she was really capable, how could she be bullied by a mother-in-law like a distant aunt.

"I often heard my aunt mention it before, but I didn't think your ex-wife was that powerful!" Lin Xiaoyu felt that Lin Musen was on the alert and couldn't help questioning this man.

Lin Musen was not angry either. He hugged Lin Xiaoyu into his arms and coaxed her, "When we divorced, she didn't take a penny. It was stated in the agreement that all her property was for the baby. After you came here, you couldn't accommodate the baby and sent him to his godmother. His child support and living expenses must go with the baby. You regret it now and want to take the baby back, but it's probably difficult. The last time dad wanted to see the baby, the little guy was angry and didn't even see his beloved grandfather. Don't look down on him. He has a lot of tricks, just like his mother. When I quit my job and went home with nothing to do, Jiang Jie was afraid that she couldn't support the baby, so she funded and planned to open this mobile phone store. Now we don't have to support the baby, and we can have enough food and clothing every month. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Lin Musen knew Lin Xiaoyu's attitude towards the baby. When she first brought Xiaoyu home, she didn't make things difficult for the baby. But within half a month, she would get upset whenever she saw him holding her son, and wouldn't let him touch her at night. At first, he understood what she was upset about, but after a few times, he discovered the crux of the problem and stopped getting close to his son in front of Xiaoyu.

At that time, Zizi lived with his grandparents, and his dependence on them was like a vine. And Lin Musen, his father, did not cause him much harm, whether he hugged him or was close to him.

After Lin Musen stopped being close to Zizi, Xiaoyu turned her attention to Lin's mother. As long as Lin's mother was nicer to Zizi, Xiaoyu would ignore her. Lin's mother was also a smart person. As a woman, how could she not understand Xiaoyu's thoughts? Xiaoyu was pregnant and was her niece, so she leaned towards Xiaoyu without hesitation.

Although Lin Jiesheng is young, he is not stupid. He can tell who likes him and who doesn't. After his new mother appeared at home, his father and grandmother ignored him. Only his grandfather took him out to play every day. Moreover, he never stayed at home, wandering outside all day long, even if it was windy or rainy, he would find a place to take him out to play all day long.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Lin's father felt sorry for his grandson. So he took his son to Chen Yuanyuan's yard. Chen Yuanyuan really loved this godson. As long as he came, she would make a lot of delicious food for him and buy him toys. As time went by, whenever he left the Lin family, he would look for his godmother. Lin's father also felt that in the winter, Chen Yuanyuan's place was the best place for his grandson to stay, as there were things to play with, food to eat, and someone to love him. He was also happy to take his grandson with him every day, traveling back and forth between Chen Yuanyuan's place and his home.

Lin Xiaoyu couldn't bear to see the grandparents living such a comfortable life. After the grandparents went out to the city again, she pretended to help Lin's mother cook and said casually, "Aunt, you said that uncle takes the baby to see his godmother every day and stays there all day long. How can uncle stay there? We have been to that yard too. It looks so small, not even half the size of our home."

"How do you know that your uncle took Zizi to Chen Yuanyuan's place? Didn't Jiang Jie say that our family is not allowed to go to the store?" Lin's mother didn't quite believe what Lin Xiaoyu said.

"I don't believe it either. Isn't that my classmate who sells clothes in the city? That clothing store is not far from the mobile phone store. She saw my uncle going in early and leaving late every day. She was very surprised and asked me! She said that people around were talking about it. There is only one single woman living in the courtyard. An old man and a child are with her every day. What is the relationship between the three of them? People outside are talking about it. It's so ugly."

Lin's mother was already worried about Lin's father. When she was young, she was always on guard against him and other women, just like she would a thief. She saw everyone as a vixen who wanted to steal her man. Now she was furious when she heard Xiaoyu say that. She started to make a scene when Lin's father brought his son home that day. No matter how Lin's father explained, he would not listen and would not let him go to Chen Yuanyuan's store again. Lin's father could only promise not to go to Chen Yuanyuan's yard, and his ears finally felt at peace.

When Zaizai got up, he started to complain to his grandfather that he wanted to go find his godmother. No matter how he tried to coax him, it was useless. He could only take him to Chen Yuanyuan's place again. This time he played outside the store. He knew that Lin Xiaoyu had spies in the clothing store opposite, so he thought that under her watch, there would be no objection. Lin's father was increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoyu, but he had no say at home, so he could only take care of his grandson in this way.

Chen Yuanyuan also heard about Lin's family. Seeing him taking his son out to the sun and wind every day, she knew that Lin's father came here every day by car, mainly because there was no room for his son at home, and also because the grandfather loved his grandson and didn't want him to suffer outside. Here, he would be less cold and hungry. When there were few people in the store, Lin's father would bring his son to the office area to accompany him to write and draw, and their life was relatively peaceful.

But this kind of life didn't last long. As long as Lin's father didn't go to the backyard where Chen Yuanyuan lived, Lin's mother couldn't object. After all, Zaizai was also her grandson who was raised by her, and she loved him. But Lin Xiaoyu was not satisfied.

After the twins were born, Lin Xiaoyu started to complain about not having enough manpower, and she acted like a spoiled child to her father more than once: "Uncle, I know you love your grandson and can't let him go, but these two are also your grandchildren! I shouldn't have asked you to let go of the babies, but these two little babies need you as a grandfather more! After you take the babies out every day, my aunt and I have to take care of the two little guys at home. We can't even feed them on time, and now our milk is obviously not enough. We can't let them grow up eating milk powder like the babies did! How much does that cost!"

Father Lin had no problem with Jiang Jie, the only problem was that she refused to breastfeed the baby, so the baby never had breast milk for a day, and only drank formula. Now he didn't like this daughter-in-law anymore, but she insisted on breastfeeding the two children, and this alone made him lean towards Xiaoyu. The daughter-in-law acted like a spoiled child and asked for his help, and Father Lin couldn't say no to her.

The next day, Lin's father took his son to find a kindergarten near a mobile phone store and enrolled Lin Jiesheng, who was only about two years old, to start kindergarten life.

Father Lin wandered outside for a long time before he went to the mobile phone store to find Chen Yuanyuan. He lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before he embarrassedly put forward his request to Chen Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, I have an unreasonable request." Lin's father had a very good impression of Chen Yuanyuan. When his son was pursuing her, he did not know that his son was divorced at first and raised objections. Later, after learning that he and Jiang Jie had secretly divorced long ago, he silently supported his son. He just did not expect that this girl looked down on his son at all.

"Don't be polite. Just tell me what you want to say. I will not refuse anything I can do." Chen Yuanyuan didn't have much to do in the morning, so she asked Lin's father to sit on the sofa in the office area and poured him a glass of warm water.

"I sent Zaizai to the Red Star Kindergarten in front today. I'll have to trouble you to pick him up in the future. He doesn't want to go home, and I can't come here every day. Xiaoyu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the family is very busy, so I also have to help take care of the kids at home." Father Lin said his rather rude request with some embarrassment.

"I guessed something might have happened in your family without even seeing Zai today. First of all, I want to congratulate you on the new baby. Zai is my godson and the only son of my best friend. I promised her that I would treat Zai as my own son, and I will definitely do it. If the Lin family really can't accommodate such a child, let him stay with me!" Chen Yuanyuan took over the custody of Zai very calmly. The days of getting along with him made her have an even stronger affection for this godson.

"That's great. I thought about it all night yesterday and was worried that you wouldn't agree. After all, it's a responsibility." Father Lin patted his thigh happily. His nervous heart finally settled and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it is a responsibility, but, uncle, we have to be clear in advance." Chen Yuanyuan became serious and said to Lin's father very solemnly: "I think you also know the reason why Jiang Jie's family invested so much money to open this store here. It was nothing more than for the baby to eat milk powder. Later, Jiang Jie and Lin Musen agreed to divorce. She left the house with nothing and gave all her rights and interests to the baby. This was stated in the divorce agreement, and Jiang Jie also took a photo of this agreement and sent it to me. Now that your family has grandchildren, I think you don’t have time to take care of the baby. You asked me to raise the baby, which is also fine, but the interests of the baby must stay with the baby as his living expenses and support. Do you have any objections to this?"

When Father Lin heard this, he was reluctant to give her the money as well as the people. But when he thought of Lin Xiaoyu's expression when she saw the baby, and her picky personality, he was afraid that if he forced the baby to stay at home, he would be abused by this stepmother. He was a little scared and nodded in agreement with Chen Yuanyuan's proposal. The main reason was that he felt that there was not much money. He had been staying in and out of the store every day recently, and he didn't find that the business was very good. Maybe the money was not enough to cover the expenses of the baby.

Thinking of this, Lin's father readily signed the agreement written by Chen Yuanyuan and stamped his handprint. He did not bring up this matter at home, thinking that there was nothing to say, the money was not much, and he entrusted his grandson to the family, so there would be no more chaos at home.

Lin Xiaoyu was indeed very happy. Father Lin no longer went out and helped take care of his grandson at home every day. She no longer had to see the son coming in and out of the house. She was very proud. From now on, everything in this family belonged to her son. Since the son had left, he would never come back. Her happiness made the Lin family spend a month in peace.

His happiness came to an abrupt end only when Lin Musen came back with the check and found that half the money he had given him was missing.

She had not expected that driving her baby out would result in such a huge loss. It was useless to regret it, so she could only be angry secretly and give the two elders of the Lin family a cold shoulder every day, but she was careful and gentle to Lin Musen.

It was too late for the two elders of the Lin family to regret at this time. Lin's father went to see his grandson secretly, but he didn't expect that his grandson had a bad temper and didn't want to see him.

He also told his godmother: "They already have brothers and sisters, they don't want me anymore, I don't want to see them anymore, I only want my godmother, not them."

Chen Yuanyuan told this to Lin's father without any burden, which made Lin's father very sad, but everything was irreversible.
