The woman who went home with Cao Jianxiang was none other than Jianxiang's sister Cao Hong.

Cao Hong came to her brother Jianxiang's house with her three-year-old son.

Cao Hong came here for no other reason than to stay at Jianxiang's house for a while. As for how long "this period of time" would be, she had no idea. It could be a few months or a few years. After all, the house was not hers and she had no say.

Since giving birth to her son, Cao Hong has been taking care of him at home. Now her son is three years old. She decided to apply for a job. Her husband's salary is not high, and she can't just stay at home and eat up all the money.

During this period, Cao Hong applied for jobs in many companies and finally got a job.

The place where I work is very close to my younger brother Jianxiang's home, just less than one kilometer away.

The Lancheng Garden community where Jianxiang lives is a large community with tens of thousands of households.

Lancheng Garden Community can be considered a mid- to high-end community, equipped with a kindergarten and a primary school.

After getting the job, Cao Hong had more thoughts. She wanted to send her child to kindergarten in Jianxiang Community. She also lived in her brother Jianxiang's home, which was convenient for her workplace, kindergarten and residence.

But she was too embarrassed to tell Jianxiang, because Wenli and her mother had sometimes disagreements before, and she always accused her brother of speaking in favor of his wife Wenli and not caring about her mother.

So Cao Hong had to think it over before calling her mother on the day she was hired.

"Mom, I found a job near my brother Jianxiang's home and signed a five-year contract. The company is okay and helps me buy hardware, but the salary is a little low since I just started working. I rent a house outside and can't save much money in a month. Jianxiang's community happens to have a kindergarten, and Xiaotong is about to start kindergarten. Jianxiang's family happens to have an empty house. You know, when you and Wenli have conflicts, I often blame them. It's not easy for me to say this, so can you help me say it?"

When Cao Jianxiang bought the house, he and Wen Li had a very good relationship. The two of them discussed and decided to buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, thinking that the couple would live in one bedroom and their future child would have another bedroom. In case relatives from either side came over, the other bedroom would still be available.

Jianxiang and Wenli had thought everything through at the beginning, so they bought a bigger house.

When Cao Hong was looking for a job, in order to save money, the first thing she thought of was her brother's house.

When Cao Hong mentioned this to her mother, she agreed at first, and then called her son in the tone of a superior giving orders to a subordinate.

"Jianxiang, your sister has found a job near your community, and Xiaotong is old enough to go to kindergarten. There happens to be a kindergarten in your community. I want to register Xiaotong's household registration under your name, so it will be more convenient for her to go to kindergarten and school. I also want your sister to live in your house, so it will be convenient for her to go to work and pick up the child. Your sister just started working, and her salary is not high, so it is not cost-effective for her to rent a house outside. Anyway, both bedrooms in your house are empty, so let her live there first."

When Jianxiang heard what his mother said, he hesitated and said hesitantly:

"Mom, this is a big deal. I have to discuss it with Wenli before making a decision."

"What's the point of discussing this with her? I raise a duck and it lays eggs. I've raised her for several years, but she can't even give birth to a child for the Cao family. It's all in vain. I have the final say on this matter. I'm the one who paid the down payment for this house. That's it. Your sister will take Xiaotong over there later. And your sister is shy, she is embarrassed to mention this to you. You should give her a heads up first so that she can go over."

Cao Jianxiang understood what his mother meant. It was all Wenli's fault for not being able to have children. If Wenli heard what her mother said, the two of them would definitely quarrel and make the whole family restless!

Jianxiang thought again and felt that what his mother said made sense. His sister was not a stranger, so he could just stay there.

Not only has Wenli spent money on medical treatment in recent years, but she also seems to be unable to have a child. If Jianxiang were not soft-hearted, he would have divorced her long ago if he had listened to his mother and sister.

Well, the worst that can happen now is that I can just say hello to Wenli first. After all, she is a member of the family, so as to avoid any more noise when I get back.

Cao Hong led the child into Jianxiang's house. She stood at the door and looked around the house.

Oh, Jianxiang’s house is much more spacious than hers, the decoration is very thoughtful, the layout is reasonable, and everything is neatly arranged. She thought that her mother was too partial, and it would be great if she also had such a house!

Cao Hong smiled and said embarrassedly: "Mom, let me tell you all my practical difficulties. My workplace is too far from my home. I will stay at your house for a while. Xiaotong will also go to the kindergarten in your community for the time being. I have contacted and arranged everything."

Isn't this obviously a case of acting first and reporting later?

Jianxiang glanced at his sister and said, "Mom has told me that you can stay as long as you want. Both houses are vacant anyway."

Cao Hong smiled brightly and said, "Brother, you are very considerate. Jianxiang, why don't you bring our parents over to live with us so that it will be more convenient for us to take Xiaotong to school."

As Cao Hong spoke, she took out her cell phone and called her mother.

Jianxiang: “…”

Soon after Cao Jianxiang entered the room, he saw the note left by Wen Li on the table. He picked it up and read it.

"Jianxiang, I'm going to the hospital. There are dishes I cooked for you this morning in the refrigerator. When you come back in the evening, you can make some dry noodles and make do with them. I have an appointment with the doctor. I will have surgery in the first half of the day. You said you were busy, so I asked Sister Wenxiu to come and accompany me. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

After reading it, Jianxiang put the note back on the table.

Cao Hong walked over, picked it up, looked through it, and said, "Jianxiang, Xiaotong and I haven't eaten yet, so I'll make it for you now."

As Cao Hong said this, she went into the kitchen on her own. Like the owner of the place, she kept chattering while cooking in the kitchen.

"Wen Li has been seeing doctors for several years, but she still can't have a child? Who knows if she can still have a child this time? She and mom don't get along, so I think she should find another woman who can have children while she still has no children."

Jianxiang was sitting on the sofa with his nephew Xiaotong in his arms.

He glanced towards the kitchen and said, "Sister, don't mention this for now. I'm already annoyed enough, and hearing this makes me even more annoyed."

Cao Hong poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted with a smile, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, I won't mention it anymore."

Cao Hong retracted her head back into the kitchen, only to hear the clanging and clanging sounds of cooking.

Jianxiang didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. He sat on the sofa, looking at the sky gradually darkening outside the window. He was stunned for a long time before he took out his cell phone and called his wife Wenli.

Wenxiu sat by the bed and chatted with Sister Wenli about family matters.

Li Wenli was half lying on the bed, holding Wenxiu's hand with one hand, and asked with concern: "You have been in contact with Haoxuan for a few days. What do you think of him? Does his family have any objections?"

Wenxiu glanced at Sister Wenli, curled her lips, bit her lips, and smiled embarrassedly with her head down.
