Back to 1984: Earning Money, Raising Kids, and Keeping the Household Busy

Chapter 343 Treatment
Xiao Jinlin nodded. "I'll take care of that. What about the child?"

He disliked Xiao Jinchen and Guo Lingyue, but the child was innocent, and especially since his wife was pregnant again, he cared even more about the child.

Looking at her thin and timid granddaughter, Mu Qinglian was furious. She grabbed a feather duster and smacked Guo Lingyue twice. "You've raised my perfectly good granddaughter like this, while you yourselves are all fat and bloated!"

Guo Lingyue cried out in pain twice and kept apologizing.

Mu Qinglian retorted angrily, "Get out! Our Xiao family temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you!"

Under the power of Mu Qinglian's feather duster, Guo Lingyue fled in panic.

Yuanyuan was temporarily taken back by Mu Qinglian to be cared for.

Two days later, Mu Qinglian brought Yuanyuan to the villa, and as soon as she entered, she wiped away tears for Chen Xinyue.

“The eldest son and his wife are not human! I’m really upset and don’t know who to talk to, so I can only come here to sit for a while.”

Little Xiao Yi immediately grabbed a tissue and held it up to Mu Qinglian. "Grandma, don't cry. Let me wipe it. Baby has some candy. It's sweet, and it will make you feel better."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinglian cried even harder, pulling her eldest grandson into her arms and letting Xiao Yi wipe away her tears.

Chen Xinyue advised from the side, "Mom, if you have any problems, just say them. We'll face difficulties together. There's no hurdle we can't overcome."

Mu Qinglian slowly closed her eyes and waved her hand. "You don't understand. I don't know how our eldest son turned out like this either. Your father and I both work in the system. When our eldest son was young, we always thought that he was our only son. We used all the best resources on him and gave him unique love and education."

Even after Jinlin was born, he still grew up around us. Your father-in-law had high hopes for him because he was the eldest son, but this time he really messed things up, and no one could help him.

Now I'm just waiting for the police investigation. Whatever the crime, that's the sentence. I'll pretend I never had this son.

"Mom, don't be sad. You still have us, and Yuanyuan! We will take good care of you and Dad," Chen Xinyue comforted her.

Mu Qinglian nodded with relief, "I know you're all good people. We're the ones who wronged the second son! His father and I have no right to ask him for anything in return."

At this point, Mu Qinglian took a deep breath, her eyes glancing at Yuanyuan, and she gritted her teeth. "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. The eldest couple are insane. They abandoned their second child, who was born with a cleft lip, at an orphanage!"

They interrogated Guo Lingyue, and she confessed to it herself.

Chen Xinyue was stunned, "This is too much!"

Mu Qinglian shook her head in disappointment, "I don't want to mention this son anymore, but the child is innocent. Jinlin's father and I are thinking of bringing that child back. If he can't be cured in China, we'll go abroad for treatment. In any case, he is our Xiao family's bloodline, and we can't just ignore him."

Perhaps this is their retribution, and she accepts it!

Chen Xinyue sighed deeply and said, "Mom, my brother studied in the United States before. I'll ask him. Jinlin and I can help with the treatment costs, so don't worry."

Mu Qinglian was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.

Just two days later, the child abandoned by Xiao Jinchen was taken back to the Xiao family.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao glanced at it, said "What a tragedy," and gave them some money, asking Mr. and Mrs. Xiao to do their best to treat him.

Xiao Sheng and his wife also contributed money and effort.

The child was sent to the United States for treatment in the shortest possible time.

The Xiao family's main strategy is to win quickly and decisively.

When Xiao Jinchen's verdict was handed down, Guo Lingyue's last bit of hope vanished, and she went to SY Multinational Group to see Xiao Jinlin, feeling utterly dejected.

Xiao Jinlin didn't want to see her at first, but after hesitating for a moment, he still let her come up.

Guo Lingyue sat in the reception room, staring at the coffee in her hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly. "Your eldest brother has always firmly believed that he is the most outstanding male heir of the Xiao family. He looks down on you, who are in business, and even more so on your two cousins ​​who are studying abroad because of their family connections. But it was precisely because he looked down on his younger brother that he started to put him under his feet. Perhaps it was when you started dating that things got out of control. Originally, my mother's favorite daughter-in-law was me, but later I found that my mother's attention was gradually drawn to Chen Xinyue."

She no longer puts me first in everything, so I'm jealous of her and target her. Haha, my arrogance has pushed my in-laws even further away. Chen Xinyue is pregnant, and I'm worried that if she gives birth to a healthy child, my in-laws will see our family even less in the future.

So I insisted on having another child, and Jinchen was persuaded by me. We sacrificed a lot for this child, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This child was even worse than Yuanyuan.

So, sometimes you really can't deny fate, right?

Xiao Jinlin's face darkened. "Get to the point."

Guo Lingyue shed two tears. "Your eldest brother is going to be executed at the end of the year. I know you found that child. Whether it's Yuanyuan or that other child, I can't raise them. I plan to go abroad and never come back."

After saying that, Guo Lingyue left without looking back.

Xiao Jinlin looked out the window, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

He didn't hide this matter, so Xiao Bai and Mu Qinglian knew immediately that Guo Lingyue had run away.

Even Yuanyuan heard it.

The little girl nestled helplessly in Mu Qinglian's arms, "Grandma, doesn't my mom want me anymore?"

Because of what the child said, Mu Qinglian couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears, "Your mother doesn't want you, but your grandparents do, and your uncle and aunt won't abandon you either!"

After finally calming Yuanyuan down, Mu Qinglian called the Guo family and argued with Guo Lingyue's parents for a long time.

Thousands of families always exchange new peaches for old ones.

Lunar New Year's Eve has arrived once again.

Xiao Jinchen was executed half a month ago.

Because of this incident, the Xiao family has been unusually low-key this year. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao used the excuse of going to the south for recuperation to leave the capital early, and Xiao Sheng and He Xue were in charge of the Xiao family's social interactions.

Xiao Jinlin, on the other hand, was not affected much.

This year, the family is spending the Lunar New Year in their villa, where they can decorate however they want without worrying about disturbing the neighbors.

Chen Xinyue was putting up paper-cut window decorations with her son at home.

The doorbell rings.

Xiao Bai and his wife brought Yuan Yuan and their granddaughter Huan Huan, who had just had surgery abroad, back with them.

Chen Xinyue quickly asked the nanny to bring them tea and water.

"Your parents just got off the plane and came straight here?"

Xiao Bai nodded.

Mu Qinglian explained wearily, "If we go back during the Spring Festival and run into our neighbors, we'll have to explain a lot. Jinlin's grandparents aren't here either. After thinking it over, we decided to come here for a couple of days to hide out, and we'll go back after the Spring Festival."

Chen Xinyue felt bad upon hearing this, and quickly asked the nanny to tidy up the room.

Help them pack their suitcases.

After she finished getting ready, she turned her attention to Huanhuan, looking on with amazement. "Mom, the medical technology abroad is so amazing! She's recovered so well!"
