Lin Dan sat down in the passenger seat and said, "Let's go home directly."

They both have separate apartments in their workplace, but Jiang Yiyang and Lin Dan chose to live in a small, single-family courtyard they bought.

The couple and their children live together.

As for the second-entry courtyard house owned by Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen, the couple and their children only stayed there for two days during the Chinese New Year.

“My sister-in-law is about to give birth. Have you told me where the New Year’s Eve dinner will be held?”

“Nine times out of ten, it’s at my sister-in-law’s big house.”

"Yes, my sister-in-law is pregnant and it is not very convenient to move around. It is really more suitable to do it in a big house."

“Second brother, are they coming back?”

“Not clear yet.”

Jiang Yiyang shook his head.



To bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufang indeed chose Jiang Li's mansion as the venue for the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. They did not want their precious daughter to toss back and forth on the road with a pregnant belly that was about to give birth.

After all, if you want to spend the New Year with the old couple, what will happen to the Jiang family?

This requires taking care of both sides.

The one who is affected is undoubtedly my daughter!

Therefore, simply choose the venue in a big house, so that your precious daughter does not have to run back and forth, and it is also lively for everyone to gather together to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

Jiang Li didn't do anything, either because he didn't want to, or because no one was allowed to do it. Even Mrs. Jiang and her sisters-in-law were also isolated from the kitchen.

In Minghan’s words, the elders have worked hard for a year and they should be thanked. They should be responsible for the success of the younger generation.

So, including dumplings and glutinous rice balls, everyone of the same generation who had some cooking skills used their own special skills to make a dish and served it to the table with their own hands.

With the sound of firecrackers, the flower hall was as warm as spring. Jiang Li, Sister-in-law Jiang and several other sisters-in-law, as well as their nieces and nephews, sat at a table. Beside this table, Captain Jiang and his wife, Jiang Hongfa, Jiang Boya, and Luo Yanqing, also There is a table with Brother Jiang and five brothers...

In short, the several large round tables placed in the huge flower hall were all full.

The New Year’s Eve dinner on the table was very sumptuous.

Everyone was having New Year's Eve dinner and watching the New Year's Eve party and laughing.

At about half past nine, Jiang Yiyang, Jiang Yihong and other cousins ​​who married local girls in Beicheng went to their father-in-law's house one by one with their wives and children.

“We actually don’t have to go to my parents’ place tonight.”

Sitting in the car, Lin Dan said something casually.

“In the past, New Year’s Eve had to be celebrated every year. It would be bad if we didn’t go there this year.”

There was no emotion on Jiang Yiyang's face: "Besides, we have a car, so it's very convenient to go there. You don't have to think too much."

"I think we have been married for almost ten years, so there is no need to continue to be polite to my parents. Besides, it's not like we won't go to the second grade of junior high school."

Her parents were entertaining guests in the second grade of junior high school. As a married daughter, she naturally had to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

Jiang Yiyang looked at Lin Dan: "It's polite, not polite. We have formed a habit since we got married, and suddenly I no longer have New Year's Eve dinner with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I probably won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Hearing what he said, Lin Dan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Is it because you don't feel at ease?"

"Um."

Jiang Yiyang did not deny it.

Lin Dan said with a smile: "Look at you, be careful. It's not like you don't know how impressed my parents are with your son-in-law."

"I know, I know, but as a son-in-law, I am always worried about being disliked by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. You are my wife, so you can definitely understand, right?"

 Jiang Yiyang raised the corners of his lips, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Besides, I am the eldest brother. If I change my previous habits and don't go to my father-in-law and mother-in-law's place tonight, what will the third child and the others do?"

Hearing this, Lin Dan thought for a while and nodded: "You are right. The third brother's father-in-law only has one daughter, his younger brother and his sister. If we don't go there tonight, the third brother's father-in-law will have to spend New Year's Eve alone. Thinking about it, It feels deserted.”

“Dad is so generous! Grandma and grandpa are very satisfied with you as my son-in-law, dad, and he always praises you in front of me!”

The young boy's voice came from the back seat. There was no doubt that it was the son of Jiang Yiyang and Lin Dan. Speaking of which, in Jiang Yiyang's generation, except for Jiang Yihong who has three children, all the brothers who are married have only one child, and they are all the same child.

But then again, Jiang Yihong actually only has one child. After all, his two twin daughters are not his biological children, they are the children of Yan Rou and her ex-partner.

“When adults speak, children should not interrupt.”

Lin Dan turned to look at his son. The eight-year-old little guy smiled "hehe" and said, "I know!"

“The child didn’t say anything that shouldn’t have been said.”

Jiang Yiyang smiled and shook his head.

“Just let him be.”

Lin Dan said this, but he didn’t dislike his son at all.

“You don’t know what our son is like, he is very sensible!”

Jiang Yiyang is extremely satisfied with his own child. Not only does he study well, he is also quite sensible and polite. He is not like other people's naughty children who cry and roll on the ground all the time.



Lin.

“Just make a phone call. If there is no need for you and your family to come over and accompany us.”

When they arrived at their parents' side, Lin Dan's family of three served the table, and they ate some food with Brother Lin's family and Father Lin and Mother Lin. Afterwards, Lin Dan helped Sister Lin put away the tableware and washed them together. She was called to the master bedroom by Mother Lin. Go talk.

"It's your son-in-law who wants to come over to accompany you and my dad for New Year's Eve dinner. He said he is used to it. If he doesn't come over tonight, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

Lin Dan said with a smile. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin tapped her forehead: "My son-in-law loves you, otherwise, he would not come to spend New Year's Eve with us two old guys."

Clearing his throat, Lin Dan deliberately looked serious: "No, in my opinion, he is filial to you and my dad from the bottom of his heart, and wants you to have a happy New Year's Eve."

Mother Lin smiled: "Yes, yes, my son-in-law is very filial to me and your father."

After a pause, Mother Lin added: "You are marrying the right person when you marry Yiyang. After all these years, he is really a good boy. He is down-to-earth and progressive. He is neither humble nor overbearing in his dealings with others. He respects his elders and never says anything. False words,

The most important thing is that I feel sorry for you. Mom can rest assured in this life. You must live a good life with Yiyang. Don't be like your little aunt, who is blessed with a good body and doesn't know how to be blessed. You abandon your son and give up on your brother-in-law who is so good. Men don’t want to marry someone else and be a stepmother. "

There is no doubt that the aunt Lin Dan was talking about was Wang Pan.

As for how Lin’s mother knew about Wang Pan and Jiang Guoan’s divorce, she naturally heard Lin Dan mention it.

“I won’t be stupid.”

Lin Dan said: "I have been married to Yiyang for so many years, and I have seen everything clearly. In the Jiang family, whether it is my grandparents, my parents-in-law, or other people in the family, there is no such evil person, and The family is in harmony and nothing bad has ever happened. Only my former sister-in-law, I don’t know what she thinks.

She always likes to cause trouble for my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law doesn't care about her, but she doesn't know what's good and takes out her anger on my brother-in-law. In the end, she even gets divorced. What's the result? I regretted it not long after I remarried! "

“Did you hear what Yiyang said?”

Lin’s mother asked.

Lin Dan: "How could he, a grown man, say this? I heard my mother-in-law and my second aunt chatting with them two days ago, and I learned that my little aunt has been looking for my brother-in-law several times recently. It seems that she wants to talk to my brother-in-law." Uncle remarried."

Lin’s mother: “Leaved again?”

Lin Dan shook his head: "I don't know."

“It must be that the remarriage was not satisfactory, especially with your brother-in-law as my ex-husband for comparison. I finally know that my husband is still as good as before.”

Mother Lin sighed endlessly, and then she talked about Wu Yue, her husband's niece: "Your sister Yueyue's family caused trouble because of Xiaoran. When the new year comes, the atmosphere in the family is not very good."

Hearing this, Lin Dan remained silent.

I heard Mother Lin continue: "The family of the boy named Qiao Zheng requires your sister Yueyue's family to make compensation. Otherwise, they will tell Xiaoran that Xiaoran should bear the main responsibility for the car accident. The Qiao family is a bit relationship, and it was indeed Xiaoran who hit Qiao Zheng in the car, causing the car accident. In addition, the other party lost a kidney and his legs were disabled. It can be said that the attitude of demanding compensation from your sister Yueyue's family is very strong. "

“How much do you want?”

Lin Dan asked.

Lin’s mother: “Five hundred thousand.”

“This is not a small amount.”

Lin Dan was speechless.

“It sounds like a lot, but compared to a child’s lifetime, half a million is just a number.”

There was no emotion in Mother Lin's tone: "But they said they couldn't afford the compensation, so they asked Xiaoran to marry into the Qiao family and take care of their son for the rest of his life."

"Xiao Ran will definitely not agree and will cry at home, right?"

Lin Dan frowned slightly: "Her character is naive at best, and stupid at worst without knowing it. Otherwise, how could she have gotten into a fight with her boyfriend while the car was driving and started to fight directly."

“I still have few things to do, and I am well protected by your sister Yueyue and her family.”

Mother Lin sighed and said, "Xiaoran couldn't wait for the cornea transplant surgery. She was crying at home. Naturally, your sister Yueyue's family was not in a better mood. Clinker, the Qiao family asked for another fifty 10,000 yuan in compensation, I’m afraid this year won’t be happy at all. Fortunately, your sister-in-law’s family didn’t make any demands, which should make your sister Yueyue’s family feel relieved.”

Lin Dan: "I met Sister Yueyue in the mall a few days ago. She talked to me for a long time, but she didn't mention the Qiao family's compensation."

Mother Lin: "Then what did your cousin say to you?"

“Asked about Weiwei’s situation, and also asked about my sister-in-law’s situation.”

Speaking of this, Lin Dan was silent for a moment and then said: "If my sister Yueyue wants to raise some money, Yiyang and I have some money saved around us. We won't be able to come up with too much by then, so ten or twenty thousand is no problem."

"The two families are still negotiating. I will talk to you if necessary."

After hearing what Lin’s mother said, Lin Dan nodded and said “Yes”.

at the same time.

On Jiang Li's side, because he was pregnant, Jiang Li went back to his room to rest at a little after ten o'clock.

Having a big belly, it is undoubtedly a bit difficult for Jiang Li to hold on until the clock strikes midnight.

“Can’t sleep?”

Luo Yanqing took a storybook and read it to the baby in Jiang Li's belly. When he finished reading a story of about four to five hundred words, he saw that Jiang Li didn't feel sleepy at all, so he couldn't help but ask.     "I'm thinking about something."

Jiang Li responded.

"What?"

Luo Yanqing put the storybook on the bedside table. He lay on his side next to Jiang Li, looked at her beautiful face and said, "Don't you want to tell me?"

"No."

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "It was about Weiwei's car accident. As you know, there were three people sitting in the car at that time. One was our Weiwei, one was Weiwei's classmate Xiaoran, and the other was named Qiao Zheng. actor.

I received a phone call two days ago. The person claiming to be the mother of the actor Qiao Zheng asked me if I wanted compensation from Wu Yue’s family. She said that if we wanted to, we could join them. After hearing this, I refused. "

“That’s it?”

Luo Yanqing asked.

Jiang Li: "Yeah."

Luo Yanqing was puzzled: "Since I have refused, what else can I think about?"

"Don't you think it was wrong for me to refuse? The Qiao family requested compensation from Wu Yue's family more than a month ago, saying that the car accident occurred because of Xiaoran's child's responsibility, causing her son to not only lose a kidney, but also both sides. If their legs are not good enough to walk, their whole lives will be ruined. If they do not ask for compensation, it means that they are useless as parents and cannot seek justice for their children. Therefore, compensation must be obtained.

It’s not that they are greedy for money, it’s her son who needs this justice. After all, no amount of money can compare with her son having a sound body! Now that things have happened, if you don’t have an explanation, are you not worthy of being a parent? "

Jiang Li said without seeing any expression on Luo Yanqing's face. She asked: "Compared with that Qiao Zheng's parents, I didn't ask for compensation. You don't think I don't pay enough attention to Weiwei. I don't care about Weiwei." ?”

“You have your own ideas. To me, your ideas are my ideas. As long as it is a decision you make, I support it.”

Luo Yanqing said this without hesitation. He looked into Jiang Li's eyes: "Besides, the traffic police department is handling the car accident. Whoever is responsible is the one who is responsible. What compensation should be made is also the responsibility of the traffic police. It’s up to the department to decide. Besides, the results have already been dealt with, so why do you need to worry about others’ words now?”

“Yeah, what am I struggling with?!”

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I guess it's because I'm pregnant with a child. I have nothing to do every day, so I can't help but think about everything, and I think a little too much."

Luo Yanqing touched Jiang Li's head: "Don't think too much, Luo Mingwei has recovered."

Jiang Li said nothing.

The compensation awarded to Mingwei by the traffic police department was partly paid by Song Xiaoran's family and partly by Qiao Zheng's family. It was caused by the car accident, which was caused by the two quarrels and physical violence in the car.

However, Song Xiaoran’s compensation to Ming Wei was more.

Jiang Li originally thought that the matter had been settled after the traffic police department issued the results. Unexpectedly, the Qiao family unilaterally sued Song Xiaoran more than half a month ago, demanding large compensation.

It can be seen that the Qiao family did not accept the ruling made by the traffic police department.

Jiang Li and Wu Yue have been friends for many years anyway, and the two of them talk quite well. Now that they learned that the Qiao family has asked Wu Yue's family for a large amount of compensation, to be honest, Jiang Li is a little worried about Wu Yue.

Not Our Lady of Jiangli, but in the 1990s, even though it has been 11 or 2 years since the reform and opening up, and even though money has been easy to make in recent years, this is for people who are doing business. As for those who rely on wages to support their families, although their monthly income There has been an increase, but it can only be a few hundred yuan.

 Once the amount of compensation requested by the Qiao family is too large, it is 80% difficult for the Wu Yue family to afford it.

“I’m a little worried about Wu Yue.”

Jiang Li spoke his mind.

Hearing this, Luo Yanqing was startled for a moment, and then said: "What is there to worry about? You have to know that it is not how much the Qiao family wants, but how much your friend's family can get. The worst is, go to the court to file a lawsuit. In short, as long as you have the brains If you use it enough, you won’t be stumped.”

"In all these years in Beicheng, Wu Yue is the only friend I have been able to talk to. I once thought that having only one friend in this life is actually quite good. But I didn't expect that just because of that child Xiaoran, I was I don’t know how to face Wu Yue again.”

“You can continue to be friends with her.”

"I don't think it's good. Our Weiwei was in a car accident because of Xiaoran and almost couldn't wake up. It would be unfair to Weiwei if I remained friends with Wu Yue."

“One code equals one code, you don’t need to have such worries. Furthermore, although the car accident is inseparable from your friend’s daughter, in the end it was an accident, and it was not your friend’s daughter who deliberately caused the car accident.”

“Why do I feel that you are a bit like the Holy Father?”

Jiang Li joked with a smile.

“It’s just a matter of fact.”

Luo Yanqing looked calm: "Think about it for yourself. As for whether you want to maintain a friendship with that person, it depends on what you think in your heart."

“Got it, my Mr. Luo!”

Jiang Li replied to the man with a smile on his face.



The early morning bell rang at the New Year's Eve party on TV, heralding the arrival of the new year. In the living room of the Song family, Mr. Song stood up, waved his hands and said, "Go back to your room and rest!"

The incident caused by my granddaughter made the atmosphere at home dull for more than three months, and even this New Year's Eve was not enjoyable.

Who to blame?

On the surface, it seems that the fault lies with the granddaughter, but in the final analysis, it is the family that protects the granddaughter too well, thus developing an overly innocent character.

Otherwise, why would we have troubles over emotions again and again?

With a long sigh, Mr. Song and his wife returned to their room.

“You really don’t need to pay attention to the Qiao family?”

"What do you care about? Can you come up with half a million, or can I, or can this family come up with half a million?"

Mr. Song looked at his wife and said, "The traffic police department made a ruling not long after the accident. Our family has no objection to Xiaoran's responsibility. We will also cooperate with the Qiao family in the compensation that should be made." It's unreasonable and the lion is open. If they dare to sue, we will accept the lawsuit and see how the court decides. "

“I want to open Xiaoran’s mind and see what she is thinking about all day. It’s obvious that the call the boy answered was from her sister, but Xiaoran…”

"Okay, what's the use of talking more now, just go to sleep."

Mr. Song lay on the bed. To be honest, he felt extremely disappointed with his granddaughter Xiaoran.

In another bedroom not far away.

"You should take good care of your daughter. I can't do anything about it. If she continues to make trouble at home, don't blame me for moving to live with my parents."

“Are you planning to give up your choice?”

“Whatever you say.”

“No matter how many problems Xiaoran has, she is still our daughter.”

“I’d rather not have this daughter who has tricked the family again and again.”

"You...you are Xiaoran's mother. The child has spent the longest time with you since he was a child."

"What do you mean by this? Do you think I taught her all her stupidity?"

"I don't."

"Look at how Weiwei looks for a boyfriend, and then look at how she treats relationships, and look at your daughter. First she likes a boy who doesn't like her, and then she likes another boy just because they were filming together. A boy who treats feelings casually is prone to stupidity. Doesn't she know that the driver is not allowed to interfere with the driving of the car? "

“I didn’t expect that Xiaoran has a simple temper, you know this.”

“No matter how innocent you are, you can do something like her?”

Wu Yue was very angry: "The corneas are not intact. If the Qiao family wins the lawsuit, we will not be able to raise half a million even if we sell you and me together."

"The Qiao family is thinking nonsense! Listen to our dad. If the Qiao family wants to sue them, or just file a lawsuit, we will accompany them. Besides, their son was disabled in a car accident, and our Xiaoran also lost a pair of eyes. "

“I don’t want to talk to you more.”

"The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. It's useless for you to be anxious and angry now. But having said that, Mingwei's child is lucky. She was diagnosed by the doctor as having difficulty waking up, but..."

“Why are you mentioning Weiwei? If Weiwei doesn’t wake up, look at how our parents will get mad at us!”

After being reprimanded by Wu Yue, the man lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, turned his back to Wu Yue and stopped talking.



The Spring Festival has passed by in a flash, the new semester has begun, and Mingwei returns to school as normal.

On this day, after lunch in the cafeteria, a female classmate from the same dormitory was walking with Mingwei. Perhaps out of curiosity, the female classmate asked Mingwei: "How did you and Xiaoran get into a car accident?"

“Who told you that Song Xiaoran and I had a car accident?”

Ming Wei looked at a classmate named Xu Na walking beside her.

"The roles of you and Xiaoran were replaced by a girl from the class next to ours and a schoolgirl one grade below us. Many people knew about this. Then it was reported that you two had a car accident on the way back to the hotel after work, and It is reported that you were seriously injured and fell into a vegetative state."

After hearing what Xu Na said, Mingwei said: "Am I not okay now?"

“You didn’t say that, you are fine now.”

Xu Na lowered her voice: "You are lucky to be able to wake up. And if Xiaoran wants to see the light again, she may have to wait until a cornea transplant is available for her. Maybe when we graduate, Xiaoran's eyes will still be decorations."

Mingwei: "We are all classmates, so don't speak too harshly."

“I’m just making an analogy.”

 Xu Na smiled and then said: "Mingwei, it's not that I'm too talkative, Xiaoran is really not suitable for being friends sometimes."

Mingwei said nothing.

“By the way, have you ever visited Xiaoran before and after the Spring Festival?”

Xu Na asked suddenly. She didn't feel embarrassed that Ming Wei didn't respond to her previous sentence.

“My mother is pregnant. I have to help with housework at home and take care of my mother. I don’t have time to go out.”

Hearing Ming Wei’s words, Xu Na’s eyes immediately lit up: “Your mother is so young and beautiful that she looks like a fairy. The baby she gives birth to will definitely look like a little fairy!”

“As you said, my little brother is indeed very good-looking, but none of my younger brothers and sisters are bad-looking.”

Jiang Li gave birth to a baby boy safely the day before the student registration.

The child was white and tender when he was born, like a little fairy child, with delicate eyebrows. It can be said that he completely inherited the advantages of Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing. (End of chapter)
