70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 8 Go and coax your wife
When Song Xia heard these rumors, she felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, heavy.

In this rural area, divorce is a big deal and you will be talked about behind your back for the rest of your life.

Besides, the child is still so young. If he suffers psychological trauma due to his parents’ divorce, it will ruin the child!

Song Xia took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, forced a smile again, and walked up to Shen Nanqiao:
"Nan Qiao, you should continue to do your father-in-law's job. We don't rely on you to earn money to support the family. As long as our family is safe and harmonious, that's better than anything else."

After saying that, Song Xia turned her head and looked at Jiang Zhe again. Seeing that her son still had a frosty face, she walked over distressedly and pulled Jiang Zhe's arm:

"Jiang Zhe, go talk to Nan Qiao and stop making trouble. We can't let outsiders laugh at us. We must not get a divorce!"

Jiang Zhe said sarcastically, "She has been asking for a divorce for so long. We in the Jiang family can't shamelessly keep her, right?"

At this moment, Yaoyao, who was having fun in the yard, heard what her father said. She dropped the shovel in her hand, ran over quickly like a frightened little rabbit, hugged Shen Nanqiao's legs, and cried out:

"Yaoyao wants mommy, daddy, please don't chase mommy away. Mommy even hugged Yaoyao yesterday. Mommy loves Yaoyao the most."

Jiang Minghan thought differently from his sister.

Although he is young, he is sensible.

He knew that his father had been silently enduring this "bad mother" for him and his sister all these years.

In his eyes, his mother didn't love them and made the family a mess. Not only did she spend a lot of money, but she was still worried about his grandfather's job.

If mom really leaves this home, maybe there will be peace at home.

He felt that he had grown up, and even without a mother, he could help his grandparents take care of his younger sister.

"Yaoyao, come here quickly, brother."

Jiang Minghan shouted to his sister.

But Yaoyao hugged Shen Nanqiao's legs tightly, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes:

"Dad, don't chase Mom away."

Song Xia secretly wiped away her tears. She knew in her heart that Jiang Zhe was not the kind of person who would drive Shen Nanqiao away.

If Shen Nanqiao hadn't been asking for a divorce, why would the Jiang family have brought up this matter?

Shen Nanqiao glanced at Jiang Zhe and thought to herself, this man has a really stubborn temper and is not willing to listen to her explanation at all. Even if Shen Nanqiao was a little too much and a little confused in the past, they have been through it all these years. Why did he suddenly become so heartless and insisted on getting a divorce when she was in the book?

Shen Nanqiao calmed down and said softly, "Mom, I won't divorce you. I have already returned Dad's job to him. I will take good care of the two children at home in the future."

When Song Xia heard this, she was stunned and felt like she was dreaming.

Is this really what my daughter-in-law said? The sun didn’t rise from the west today!

When Yaoyao heard this, she burst into laughter and jumped up with joy: "That's great, Mom won't leave!"

Jiang Minghan frowned, his face darkened slightly, and his eyes were complicated. He stared at Shen Nanqiao's face, trying to find a trace of pretense on her face, but after looking for a long time, he found that his mother's smile was so sincere, coming from the bottom of her heart... What's going on? Did his mother hit her head against the pillar?
Song Xia came back to her senses and quickly took Shen Nanqiao's hand and walked home:
"Nan Qiao, I'm relieved that you and Jiang Zhe can live a good life. Just rest at home like before. It doesn't matter whether you work or not."

Shen Nanqiao shook her head: "Mom, I have already taken a job as an entry-level worker in the factory. When I earn some money in the future, I can also subsidize the family."

"Junior worker?" Song Xia was surprised. The work of a junior worker is hard and tiring. Can she, a daughter-in-law who always loves beauty, bear it?

Song Xia tried hard to put on a smile, which was cautious, and her tone of voice was also gentle and slow:
"Nan Qiao, it's okay. This is a job you can do if you want to, and it's okay if you don't want to. Jiang Zhe and your father-in-law can both make money, so you can just stay at home and enjoy your life."

"Grandma, if she doesn't go back to work, she'll eat up all the money we have at home."

Jiang Minghan spoke coldly, his words were full of complaints towards his mother, his little brows were wrinkled into pimples.

Grandpa could earn a hundred yuan a month, but as soon as the money arrived, Shen Nanqiao rushed over like a gust of wind, snatched the money away, and then ran to the supply station, exchanging it for food coupons and buying pork, as if he didn't care about the money.

In this day and age, which family is not eagerly looking forward to the New Year, hoping to have a bowl of pork on the dinner table during the New Year?

In order to buy that little bit of pork, the whole family had to line up before dawn. There was such a huge crowd of people, and the pork was distributed according to population.

The Jiang family is large, and Shen Nanqiao takes advantage of this to spend money without restraint.

She cooked the pork she bought as much as she wanted, and her mouth was full of oil after every meal, without any regret at all.

Every morning when Jiang Minghan saw his grandparents drinking porridge with a little bit of vegetables, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had been scratched by a cat.

He often thought to himself that it would be great if he could grow up all of a sudden so that he could go out to earn money and buy delicious food for his grandparents.

As soon as Jiang Minghan said this, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him.

Song Xia pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, trying to say a few good words for Shen Nanqiao: "Xiao Han, it's not a big sin to like eating some meat.

Back then, when your mother gave birth to you, she suffered a lot. It was a difficult delivery and she lost a lot of blood.

Since then, our Jiang family has been thinking about taking good care of this daughter-in-law."

Jiang Minghan's eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice was filled with tears:

"But she only thought about eating it herself! She never thought about letting you and grandpa have a bite.

My grandfather works so hard in the factory every day. The work is so heavy, but he doesn't even get a lick of oil on his lips. He just eats watery porridge with vegetables. How can his body bear it?

And my father was in the transport business. He went out in wind and rain. Every time he went out, he would bring a dozen steamed buns with him and some pickles.

Why should our whole family have to suffer so much just for her to be fat and plump? "

Although Jiang Minghan is young, his words are so powerful, just like a little adult, and every word he says makes sense.

When Shen Nanqiao listened to Jiang Minghan's words, he felt as if a huge stone was blocking his heart, heavy.
