Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project
Chapter 706: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter
After the wedding banquet at the Zhuang family, Song Xia treated old customers to free meals at the snack bar. Many guests who didn't know about the event came into the store that day and received the same treatment.
In addition to snacks, there were many delicacies on the dinner table that day that she had never sold before. Everyone felt satisfied and resentful after eating, because they knew that after today's meal, they might never be able to eat it again.
However, everyone was very conscious and left after finishing their meal in order to make room for the people coming behind. Those who had eaten at noon did not come for a second meal in the evening. Song Xia did not accept gifts, so some guests quietly put down the small gifts they had bought.
It was a very busy day, and even Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo had no time to rest. But after the work, everyone was very happy and felt a sense of accomplishment. Then it was time to open the gifts. Although Song Xia had specifically asked not to give anything, many guests still left their gifts.
And the gifts were very thoughtful, including paintings of a newlywed couple, exquisite and cute figurines, and paper-cuts of the entire snack bar including the owner and the staff.
"This is good." Song Xia couldn't put the paper-cut down. "I didn't expect these old neighbors to have such skills. I'll find a frame to frame it and hang it in the store tomorrow."
"I'm going to take this to the office." Wei Zhu liked the painting very much, as it contained everyone's blessings to her and Zhuang Bo.
By the time everything was packed up, it was almost dawn. Wei Zhu gave the four employees red envelopes and candy boxes that she had specially prepared, and the four were overjoyed.
After getting married, Song Xia and their family's life became peaceful again. In the third year of their marriage, Wei Zhu became pregnant, and they decided to buy a house. Now that housing prices have fallen, they calculated that after paying the down payment with the money they had, the provident fund could fully cover the loan, so they bought a three-bedroom apartment near their workplace.
The house is a second-hand property. The previous owner was also in the system. Seeing the current drop in housing prices, he was anxious to sell it, so he gave the two of them a very favorable price.
Although house prices may still fall considering the economic situation, the couple does not want to have a child born in a rented house. Although this house is a second-hand house, the original owner maintained it very well. They hired a housekeeping company to do a deep cleaning and they can move in directly, thus saving on renovation costs.
After buying the house, they brought Zhuang's father over from the countryside. They both had to go to work, and when the child was born, Wei Zhu would need him to help take care of the child after she finished her maternity leave, so they brought him over early to help him adapt to the environment.
On the other hand, Wei Deng also started to take the civil service exam after graduation. There were not many courses in his senior year, so he started reviewing long ago. He was also afraid that if he failed the first time, it would be a waste of energy to continue studying, so he worked hard. In the end, as he wished, he passed the exam in one try.
After being officially hired, Weiden returned to his lazy nature, as if the past few years in college had exhausted all his energy.
Seeing that he had no intention of falling in love or getting married, Song Xia simply transferred the 400,000 yuan promised to him early, and then Wei Deng transferred 30,000 yuan back.
Song Xia thought that this would be Wei Deng's life. She thought it was pretty good. He was free, without pressure or burden, and the government would provide for his retirement when he got old.
But she didn't expect that Wei Deng would be favored by a rich lady. The rich lady was the only daughter in the family. She wanted to marry Wei Deng not for any other reason but because he was handsome and was in the system so there was no need to worry about him getting sick or doing bad things. As for the fact that Wei Deng was lazy, that was not a problem because they had a nanny. The only thing the girl's family required was that the first child born would have the girl's surname.
Song Xia never cared about whose surname the child should take. Besides, the woman had contributed more in this marriage, and she had suffered during the childbirth process. Wasn't it only natural that the child should take the woman's surname?
Now Wei Deng has given up. He is lazy and doesn't want to take care of the child in the future. His mother doesn't know how to take care of the child either. So it will basically be the responsibility of his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law. So the child will take his wife's surname.
For this reason, the girl's family is extremely happy. Other families are afraid of taking care of children, but they like children. They take care of the children after they are born, and they will be close to them in the future. How wonderful is that.
My daughter made a good choice of husband. Although he is not ambitious, he has a job in the system and it gives her face. Moreover, they like such unmotivated sons-in-law, who are lazy and obedient. This way, my daughter will not suffer in the future. Besides, her in-laws will not cause trouble.
In the end, the wedding was arranged by the bride's family. After attending the wedding, Song Xia sighed that lazy people have good fortune and Wei Deng is really lucky.
One day after their marriage, Wei Deng and his wife attended a banquet, but unexpectedly they met Mo Ru at the scene. Although Mo Ru was dressed gorgeously, she was always careful to flatter the man who brought her in. When the two met, Mo Ru's face froze, and Wei Deng just glanced at her lightly and turned away, pretending not to know her.
After the banquet, Mo Ru waited in the parking lot, wanting to chat with Wei Deng, but Wei Deng just told his wife that they were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, and did not talk much. It was obvious that he had let it go long ago, and the only one who couldn't let it go was Mo Ru who was unwilling to give up.
"I think she's pretty, why are you explaining this to me?"
"Trouble." Weiden sneered, "I am very satisfied with my current life and don't want to change it."
Lin Jie chuckled, thinking that the husband she had carefully chosen was indeed right. Everyone said that it was not worth marrying down, but she didn't know that if she married down or married up, she would definitely not be as comfortable as she is now. The most important thing is that the child will not have her last name. Wei Deng has a good appearance. Although his salary is not high, he can still show off. His mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law never make trouble. Her family is not short of money, and she does not yearn for those billionaires. It's so good now. Although Wei Deng is lazy, his family does not need him to work to earn money. The nanny does the housework. Wei Deng just needs to not cheat. Now it seems that for people who are afraid of trouble, cheating is also a trouble in Wei Deng's mind.
"Mom asked us to come over for dinner on Sunday. Are you free?"
"When I'm free!" Lin Jie replied quickly. If there was another good thing about her marriage, it would be her mother-in-law's great cooking skills. Her family had been well off since she was a child, and she had eaten all kinds of delicious food from all over the world, both at home and abroad, but she swore that her mother-in-law's cooking skills were definitely the best she had ever tasted!
Even her parents couldn't forget the meal after eating there twice. Her mother even told her privately that if it weren't for her mother-in-law, she would have wanted to poach him with a high salary.
Lin Jie later learned that there were many wealthy families like her mother who were planning to do this, and even these people had a good relationship with her mother-in-law. Once, the family’s contract was delayed and it was her mother-in-law’s connections that helped to make the connection! Her mother-in-law was like a hermit, hiding in the city.
Who said she lost money? This marriage was clearly a win for her!
After seeing that her daughter and son both had happy marriages, Song Xia decided to close the shop, but not completely. Now the shop has been bought by her daughter-in-law and given to her. In order to give back to old customers, she will open the shop at irregular times, depending on when she has time and is willing to work hard.
Because of this, the traffic to the snack bar gradually dissipated. After all, not everyone has time to try their luck every day. However, this also ensures that only regular customers from the surrounding area can eat.
One day a year later, the system spirit suddenly reported to her that Jing Jun was released from prison.
"Out of prison? How is he now?"
"His parents took him back, but I noticed his personality had changed a lot. He seemed very quiet."
"We are not sure about the harmfulness yet, let's observe first."
After observing for a year, just when Song Xia thought Jing Jun had turned over a new leaf and would not commit crimes again, he sneaked into the outside of Wei Zhu's community.
Song Xia immediately took a taxi over. Today was Monday, and Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo were both at work, so her father-in-law was the only one taking care of the baby. Normally at this time, the children would be playing downstairs in the community.
She was nervous all the way. When she just arrived, she saw Jing Jun running with the child in his arms. Her father-in-law was screaming behind them. Song Xia stopped them directly, used her clever strength to reduce Jing Jun's strength, and then snatched the child away.
But Jing Jun brought a knife today. In order to prevent the child from getting hurt, Song Xia, who had no hands free, could only block it with her back. Then she felt like she was stabbed by a sharp knife.
When Song Xia woke up, she saw Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo with red eyes. Jing Jun had been arrested, and if he committed the same crime again, he would be sentenced even more severely.
"Hire a lawyer, don't ask for compensation, and make sure Jing Jun judges the key points." Song Xia said in a hoarse voice.
"Yeah." Wei Zhu nodded heavily. God knows how scared she was when she received the news.
Soon, Wei Deng and Lin Jie also rushed over. Hearing this, Lin Jie frowned fiercely: "What if this criminal gets out of prison again? He did this deliberately and obviously targeted our family."
Song Xia thought to himself that Jing Jun would not have a chance to come out again this time.
The whole family was filled with grief until several months later, when they heard that Jing Jun had died of a sudden illness in prison. Only then did they feel completely relieved.
For many years afterwards, even though Song Xia had proven with her own actions that she had recovered long ago, Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo were still worried. If Song Xia had not insisted on living alone, they would have taken her in long ago. However, they still came to visit her every two days.
Song Xia was annoyed by them and started to travel longer, which worried the greedy old customers. (End of this chapter)
