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

Chapter 346 Everything is for the child

Lin Qin was even happier to hear that.

She stayed with Chen Xinyue at the hospital overnight and helped carry the child home the next day.

The family's postpartum nanny and postpartum rehabilitation therapist have been arranged.

During Chen Xinyue's postpartum period, her food and drinks were specially prepared. She only needed to breastfeed and rest, and she didn't have to worry about anything else. There were also people who would massage and acupressure her.

Lin Qin took one look and realized that she didn't need to do anything.

She was happy to be relaxed and carefree.

When Mu Qinglian and her husband came to visit Chen Xinyue and the children with their two granddaughters, Lin Qin gave each of them a large red envelope and a set of jewelry.

Inside were a safety buckle necklace, a safety buckle bracelet, as well as gold chains, gold bracelets, gold anklets, and gold earrings. Both Xiao Yi and the newborn Xiao Ze had this set of jewelry.

The two little girls are easily satisfied. After receiving the gift, they smiled broadly and called her "Grandma" repeatedly.

No one was happier than Mu Qinglian.

Because of Lin Qin's thoughtfulness, she couldn't help but think of the Guo family and kept complaining to Lin Qin.

"These two children are unlucky to have such a heartless mother. Instead of trying to make amends to their daughter, the Guo family pretends to be deaf and dumb and doesn't care. They don't even acknowledge their two granddaughters. Since the children returned to the Xiao family, they haven't sent anything, or even come to see them or say a word of greeting."

My maternal grandparents and uncles are practically nonexistent; they're not even as good as my in-laws!

Lin Qin frowned deeply upon hearing this. "This is outrageous! Aren't the Guo family afraid of making enemies of the Xiao family?"

Mu Qinglian shook her head and sighed, "The Guo family was also involved in the despicable things my good-for-nothing eldest son did. We called the police, and the Guo family was forced to step down. In particular, several of Guo Lingyue's brothers were arrested."

The Guo family accuses us of being heartless, which is laughable. When they were leading my son into crimes, did they not think about human feelings at all? They only thought that my son was a descendant of the Xiao family, and they wanted to drag him down so that they could have another layer of protection for themselves. Unfortunately, they were wrong!

Our Xiao family doesn't tolerate any wrongdoing! I admit my son was misled into taking the wrong path because he lacked self-control, but none of those involved will escape legal punishment!

Mu Qinglian clenched her fists in anger.

Lin Qin comforted her, saying, "The Guo family is resentful because of this incident, so it's fine if they don't come to see the child."

"Hmph! That's now. I only found out after investigating that when they were in Guangdong Province, the Guo family didn't take the two children seriously either. If Guo Lingyue hadn't been the link between the Guo family and the Xiao family, I'm afraid they wouldn't have paid any attention to her."

I truly regret it! Why didn't I do everything in my power to stop this woman from entering the family? It's too late to say anything now!

Mu Qinglian shook her head in regret, no longer mentioning those scars.

Lin Qin silently noted these things down, thinking that when she sent things to her grandson in the future, she would also send a copy to the two children. Putting aside everything else, at least it would help her daughter win the favor of her in-laws and make her life more comfortable.

The next day, at the invitation of Madam Xiao, Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun paid a visit to her home.

He Xue and her husband also went along.

The couple had a meal at Madam Xiao's place and then went to the Gao family's house.

After staying in the capital for about half a month, seeing that everything was going well for Chen Xinyue, they prepared to go back. Chen Xinyue was reluctant to leave, and she clung to Lin Qin's hand, pouting, "Mom, you and Dad have only been here a few days, and I haven't even finished my postpartum confinement yet! Can you stay another half a month?"

Looking at her daughter's rosy cheeks and her figure, which had almost fully recovered, Lin Qin laughed and scolded, "You have so many people taking care of you, and Jinlin only works half a day. He spends the other half of the day either at home with you or working at home, which gives you a great sense of security."

Your in-laws and Jinlin's grandparents also come over every now and then. With so many people surrounding you and the child, your father and I have nothing to do here.

The main issue is that the house isn't finished being renovated yet, and we can't just leave everything to your aunt and uncle; they have their own things to do too.

Chen Xinyue lowered her eyelids. "Mom, are you and Dad really planning to move there and raise our little brother? Neither my brother nor Lingxue said anything?"

Lin Qin shook her head. "What can they say? Taking over the family business means staying in Anshi. Your brother's business is in Gangcheng. He's even planning to move his household registration there. I guess he's unlikely to come back in the future."

Lingxue is even less of a concern. She has already said that even if she has children in the future, she will continue acting or retire behind the scenes. In addition, given the trouble she had with the Zhang Group, she wishes she would never return to Anshi.

The couple had already discussed it and were most likely going to settle in Hong Kong. You're in the capital, and now the Xiao family elders are counting on you and Jinlin to establish yourselves. It's even less likely you'll return to Anshi; your brother has to be sacrificed!"

Sigh! Having a child who is too outstanding can also be a problem.

"Mom! You can say that to me, but please don't tell anyone else, or you'll get beaten up." Chen Xinyue covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably.

Lin Qin rolled her eyes at her, "Anyway, that's how things are at home. Once your brother takes over the business completely, your dad and I will be able to give you less money."

Chen Xinyue waved her hand, "Mom, I told you a long time ago that you don't need to give me money anymore. I have two children, and my grandparents and my mother-in-law have all given me some shares in the Xiao family's businesses."

Needless to say, Jinlin will give me even more. I'm not short of money. You and Dad can save up your own money, and when you have some spare cash, go traveling, buy whatever you want. You've worked hard for half your life; it's time to enjoy life."

Lin Qin met her daughter's sincere eyes and nodded with a smile.

The couple returned to Anshi from the capital with a lot of things. After giving them to relatives and friends, they continued their renovation work.

The house was renovated before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The 200-square-meter duplex has very little shared area. The first floor has a huge living room, three large bedrooms, a large kitchen, and a living room that can seat twenty people. In addition, there is a storage room, a super large balcony, and four bathrooms.

The second floor has three bedrooms, a small living room, and a 100-square-meter terrace.

Because Lin Yi likes to grow vegetables.

Lin Qin specially had a thicker waterproof layer made and several boxes of soil transported up. In the future, this terrace can be used to grow some vegetables and fruits, allowing for self-sufficiency, and also providing a place to brew tea, chat, and talk.

Lin Yi couldn't wait to move over to this terrace.

Lin Qin didn't want to spoil his mood, so the whole family discussed it and finally decided to move on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, so they could spend the New Year in their new home.

The happiest person about moving is Chen Ruiming, who can move into a new house without having to do anything.

As soon as winter vacation started, he eagerly took on the task of decorating the new home.

He even claimed that he did not need financial support from his family.

Lin Qin also wanted to know what tricks this child could come up with, so she went along with his wishes and handed over all the soft furnishings to him.
