Before Shen Rang and Jiang Cha got married, Shen's mother had investigated Jiang Cha's background. After all, the Shen family was not an ordinary family. It was impossible for their son to marry a woman just because she was pregnant.
Jiang Cha's father's name is Jiang Qiulin and his mother's name is Yu Qin.
When Jiang Qiulin and Yu Qin were young, they met through a matchmaker. They thought each other was good, and they got in touch for a while. They didn't dislike each other, so they registered for marriage.
A few decades ago, there were no such words as freedom of love and autonomy in love.
As long as a woman doesn't get tired of seeing a man, that's pretty much it. That's why the older generation always say, girls shouldn't be too picky and just marry someone who is similar. Can he be good-looking enough to make a living? Can people like you if they have money? Marry early and have a son to tie a man down. After all, carrying on the family line is the most important thing in life.
Yu Qin was instilled by her mother with the same thought.
Not long after marrying Jiang Qiulin, Yu Qin became pregnant. The family conditions of both parties were not good, and women at that time were not so particular, and ordinary families could not afford prenatal check-ups. They had to go there in the early or late pregnancy. Working in the fields.
When Yu Qin was pregnant, she liked eating sour food very much.
Neighbors around her said that her baby must be a son, a sour son and a hot daughter.
Moreover, Yu Qin's pregnant belly looked exactly like other women who had given birth to sons.
Thinking of giving birth to a boy for her first child, Yu Qin was extremely happy, and so was Jiang Qiulin. The news that Yu Qin was pregnant with a boy was known to all her relatives.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qin was pregnant in ten months and gave birth to a girl all day and night.
Jiang Qiulin's face was dull, and he felt like he couldn't hold his head high in front of his relatives. He was so proud when he said the words about giving birth to a son, but now it hurts when it bounces back on his face.
Because she gave birth to a daughter, Jiang Qiulin didn't have a good look towards Yu Qin. Her mother-in-law even made sarcastic comments all day long, scolding her for her weak stomach. Yu Qin almost cried throughout her confinement.
Childbirth and confinement both hurt the body. Yu Qin was unable to get pregnant in the next few years. Her mother-in-law kept telling Jiang Qiulin that he should divorce Yu Qin and marry someone who could have a son.
Jiang Qiulin's mind wavered, but in the end he endured it because he was concerned that divorce would be too embarrassing.
In the beginning, Yu Qin was actually okay with her daughter Jiang Cha. She had tried her best to take good care of Jiang Cha.
It can be said that before the age of nine, Jiang Cha's life was pretty good. Even if her father had a bad temper and despised her, he would never ignore her.
However, everything changed from the age of nine.
Because Yu Qin is pregnant again.
Jiang Qiulin was extremely happy, but this time he remembered his previous lessons and did not publicize them to everyone.
Yu Qin was so anxious that she wanted to touch her belly eight hundred times a day, hoping that it would turn out to be a boy.
But at that time, the Jiang family's conditions had just improved. Yu Qin happened to be pregnant at this time, and the life of the family, which was not wealthy, became even more difficult.
Yu Qin's belly started to grow wildly when she was more than four months old, and it was unbelievably big.
Yu Qin once thought that she was sick and wore loose clothes all day long to hide her big belly.
Later, a neighbor's sister-in-law happened to see her belly and asked her if she was pregnant with twins.
Yu Qin immediately realized, yes, with such a big belly, she might be pregnant with two children.
Jiang Qiulin was finally willing to take Yu Qin to the hospital for a check-up. The hospital conditions at that time were not very good. It was smart to see how many children were in the belly. The gender was not so obvious. Even if they could see it, they would not tell their families.
The doctor only told Jiang Qiulin that Yu Qin was pregnant with twins.
Jiang Qiulin was so happy, thinking that among the two, there must be a son no matter what, right
The doctor told him many possible situations and precautions for pregnant women with twins during pregnancy. For the health of his son, Jiang Qiulin listened very carefully.
Yu Qin, who was pregnant with twins, rose up in the Jiang family like a rocket.
All the food and drink for the whole family are suitable for the pregnant woman Yu Qin and the child in her belly.
Jiang Cha seemed to have been forgotten by her parents. She watched and listened to her father and mother talking about her younger brother and their life after having a son all day long.
She often felt strange that after her brothers were born, wouldn't they be able to grow up without eating and drinking? Why is it that the younger brother her parents talk about is like a god she has heard about, who can grow up all of a sudden and then be filial to her parents in every possible way.
Jiang Cha looked at her mother's growing belly, and she became more and more silent.
On a day off, Yu Qin, who had not yet reached her due date, suddenly had a stomachache and told her that she was going to give birth early.
There was only one Jiang Cha in the family, and Jiang Qiulin went out to work. Yu Qin was very weak, so she asked Jiang Cha to go out and ask the neighbor's sister-in-law for help.
After a lot of trouble, Yu Qin was sent to the hospital.
This time, because she was having twins, there was a lot of risk for her to give birth.
Jiang Qiulin rushed over shortly after Yu Qin entered the delivery room.
The neighbor's sister-in-law sat on the chair with Jiang Cha. Jiang Qiulin came over hurriedly and immediately asked: "Is my son okay?"
The neighbor's sister-in-law felt a little uncomfortable. Jiang Qiulin didn't ask Yu Qin a word, nor did he ask her daughter if she was scared. She just said, "Is my son okay?" No woman would feel comfortable hearing this.
But after all, this was the Jiang family's own business, and the neighbor's sister-in-law didn't have much to say, so she picked up some information and explained it to him.
Then, the neighbor's sister-in-law was about to leave. She pushed Jiang Cha in front of Jiang Qiulin and said, "Qiulin, look at Jiang Cha. The little girl has never seen such a formation. Comfort the child."
Jiang Qiulin's heart was tied to his son, and he said a few perfunctory words.
The neighbor's sister-in-law touched Jiang Cha's head and felt really sorry for the child. "I'm going back first. Bao'er is still waiting for dinner. Jiang Cha, please don't wander around, okay?"
Jiang Cha said in gratitude, "Thank you, ma'am."
Yu Qin was born late at night. When the nurse came out and told Jiang Qiulin that they were both boys, Jiang Qiulin was so happy that he fell into a trance.
Otherwise, there will be no one, and two will come at once. Among relatives and friends, no one is as lucky as him.
"Thank you, thank you!" Jiang Qiulin's face turned into a smile.
Yu Qin was discharged from the hospital and went home the next day. The hospital expenses were too expensive and their family could not afford it.
During this confinement period, Yu Qin sat much more comfortably than the last time. Her mother-in-law still took care of her, but her mother-in-law's attitude was not a bit better than that of Sheng Jiangcha.
Yu Qin was very happy and kept talking about the blessings brought by his two sons all day long. Jiang Cha secretly heard Yu Qin telling the ignorant child that he would have to rely on the two of them when he gets old in the future.
If she was pregnant, Jiang Cha could still find reasons for herself to balance her heart. At this time, she already fully understood what her mother meant.
She is no longer the child that her mother likes.
Twins sound enviable, but whoever raises them knows how difficult it is.
The arrival of two children means that the family's expenses have doubled. There was already Jiang Cha, who was in elementary school, but now there were two more children waiting to be fed. Money is every day he opens his eyes, and this is just the beginning.
The food and clothing for the family and the school expenses for the children are all money.
The joy of having two sons was gradually worn away by the pressure of life, but even so, Jiang Qiulin still felt that two sons were a blessing, and he could never treat his sons badly even if he was hungry.
Life is hard
It doesn't matter, just tighten your belt.
And the one who bore the brunt of it was Jiang Cha.
At that time, Jiang Cha was only a teenager and it was time for him to grow taller. Jiang Qiulin had already begun to reduce Jiang Cha's expenses.
Instead of paying her for meals, Jiang Cha was asked to bring them from home, which was okay in summer, but in winter, there was no place to heat meals in the school, so Jiang Cha basically had cold rice and cold dishes every day.
I don't usually buy clothes for her. I only buy one piece during holidays. It's still two sizes too big because it can last for two more years.
Before high school, Jiang Cha's life could almost be summed up as dire straits.
So Jiang Cha studied hard and worked hard to get into a good high school, just to stay away from his family and live a better life on his own.
Jiang Cha worked silently and did not compete with his brothers, but he still could not find a place for himself in the Jiang family.
Jiang Qiulin stopped allowing her to study.
Jiang Cha's two younger brothers, Jiang Zong and Jiang Yao, also went to elementary school. The family couldn't afford it, so Jiang Cha had to drop out of school.
But Jiang Cha refused.
She had worked hard for so long to finally change to a completely different environment and receive a better education. She would not allow herself to stop here, and her life would go downhill from here.
As a result, Jiang Cha and Jiang Qiulin had a quarrel that had accumulated grievances for seventeen years.
The result of this quarrel was that Jiang Cha left the Jiang family, and the Jiang family would no longer care about her life or death.
Jiangcha couldn't ask for it.
If she continues to live in the Jiang family, there is only endless dire straits waiting for her. If she leaves the Jiang family, she will have endless possibilities.
Jiang Cha used to be quiet and didn't laugh often, which made people think she was difficult to get along with. In addition, she had to make money and had no time to make friends, so everyone thought she was aloof and cold.
Later, Jiang Cha gradually made money, and after his life became better, his mood gradually improved, his personality became more cheerful, and he made friends.
For example, I met Zhang Yirui at this time.
Jiang Cha never shied away from the fact that she needed money, because she was different from others, she was a person who had to take care of herself.
However, she never felt that she was suffering, but actually enjoyed it.
If it hadn't been for the unexpected pregnancy and marriage into the Shen family, Jiang Cha would be like most people now, living the life of an ordinary office worker, running around for life and working hard for himself.
Shen's mother took all the information about Jiang Cha in front of Shen Rang and let him decide whether to marry or not.
Shen's mother does not look down on Jiang Cha because she is alone. She also appreciates Jiang Cha's tenacity. A person who is willing to work hard, make progress and refuse to admit defeat is a good fit for the Shen family.
Moreover, Shen's mother has selfish motives. Jiang Cha is alone. If she marries into the Shen family, she does not have to worry about Jiang Cha's intentions towards the Shen family. After all, the Shen family will treat her very well. Through investigation, she knows that Jiang Cha is a grateful person.
Shen Rang had an unknown liking for Jiang Cha. After reading the information, he felt extremely fond of Jiang Cha, so Shen Rang immediately decided with Shen's mother and Shen's father that he would marry Jiang Cha.
If Jiang Cha is unwilling, he will do his best to compensate Jiang Cha.
Fortunately, Jiang Cha is willing.
When Shen Rang came back to his senses from the past, a long time had passed.
Shen Rang moved his body a bit, got up and walked out of the study.
Opening the door, the sound of Jiang Cha and his son playing together came from the living room.
Shen Rang curled his lips, "Jiang Cha is really good now. He is good in every aspect. Of course, it would be better if you could like him."
"What are you so happy about?" Shen Rang walked over.
Jiang Cha and Shen Zhi both turned around, and Shen Zhi was pleasantly surprised. He got up from the ground and ran to Shen Rang. After hugging him on his lap, he raised his head and shouted sweetly, "Dad~ Xiao Zhi is very good. Mom said you are good again." Xiaozhi didn’t even bother you when you were doing your work.”
Shen Rang picked up Shen Zhilai and said, "That's great. Oops, my son is getting heavier."
"Dad, Xiaozhi has eaten a lot, and there is meat on his belly."
With that said, Shen Zhi lifted up the hem of his short sleeves and held it between his chin, then pinched a piece of meat on his belly with both hands, and said with a loud voice, "Dad, look, look! Xiao Zhi's meat! There is so much."
Shen Rang laughed and actually reached out to touch it, "Not bad, it's soft."
"Dad." Shen Zhi was suddenly worried, "Will Xiaozhi become a little fat man?"
"how could be?"
Shen Rang sat where Shen Zhi had just sat, crossed his legs and put Shen Zhi on his lap. "Xiao Zhi, eat harder and exercise more. When you grow taller, the soft flesh will disappear."
"Is Xiaozhi going to have no meat?"
Jiang Cha smiled, "It's not that Xiaozhi has no flesh, it's that the soft flesh has turned into muscles."
"Chicken?" Shen Zhi panicked, "Is Xiaozhi going to be eaten? Then Xiaozhi shouldn't grow taller, Xiaozhi doesn't want to be eaten."
"No, it's not that chicken, it's that muscle..." Jiang Cha couldn't explain clearly and shouted Shen Rang.
Shen Rang raised his eyes, "Huh?"
Jiang Cha said naturally, "Lift up your clothes and let your son see your muscles."
Shen Rang:? ?
Wife, are you serious? You want me to lift my clothes in front of you? ?
Seeing Shen Rang's face in shock, Jiang Cha asked him a question that hit his soul, "Have you not exercised for a long time and your eight-pack abs have become one?"
Shen Rang instantly became "angry."
If he doesn't get angry when his wife doubts her figure, he has no self-esteem as a man!
Shen Rang leaned forward and put Shen Zhi into Jiang Cha's arms. Then he hooked the hem of his home clothes with both hands and pulled it up. His upper body was now naked.
The eight-pack abs are neatly arranged on his abdomen, and the mermaid line is still clear.
Shen Rang stared at Jiang Cha, grinding his teeth, "Do you see clearly? How many! How many! How many!"
"Eight, eight yuan." Jiang Cha gave a rare stutter.
Shen Rang hummed softly, "Xiao Zhi, reach out here."
Shen Zhi obediently handed over a hand.
Shen Rang took Shen Zhi's hand and pressed it on his abdominal muscles, "These are muscles. As long as Xiao Zhi eats well and exercises hard, he will become like his father in the future."
Shen Zhi curiously stretched out his fingers to poke Shen Rang's abdominal muscles, then lifted up his clothes and poked his own.
"Dad..." Shen Zhi raised his head.
Shen Rang grumbled, put his hands behind his back, and raised his ears, waiting to hear his son's envious compliments, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Cha.
Shen Zhi said, "The meat on your belly is too hard, Xiao Zhi doesn't like it."
Shen Rang was so troubled by his son's failure to follow the routine that he almost lost his strength.
"Son, you will know when you grow up and have these benefits."
"Dad, can Xiaozhi know now?" Shen Zhi blinked with curiosity on his face.
Shen Rang curled his lips, "Of course, you think so? Jiang Cha."
Being cueed suddenly, Jiang Cha was also stunned, "What are you asking me for?"
Shen Rang chuckled softly, then used force on his hands and rushed towards Jiang Cha.
Jiang Cha said "Ah-" and fell back subconsciously.
Shen Rang protected her head with one hand, put his other hand on the ground to steady his body, straddled/knelt with his legs beside Jiang Cha, and hung his whole body above Jiang Cha.
Boom—
Dong Dong—
Jiang Cha heard his heartbeat gradually speeding up.
Shen Rang's face was only a few centimeters away from hers, and she could even feel his breathing.
Jiang Cha and Shen Rang stared at each other like this for several minutes. Shen Rang's Adam's apple rolled and his head gradually lowered.
Jiang Cha froze and had no reaction at all. He could only watch Shen Rang getting closer and closer...
"Mom, does it hurt you from the fall?"
Shen Zhi's voice startled Jiang Cha, who immediately pushed Shen Rang away and sat up.
Shen Rang sat with his back to Jiang Cha and raised his hand to scratch his hair, feeling a little embarrassed that his good things had been interrupted.
"Mom?" Shen Zhi took Jiang Cha's hand and shook it gently, "Dad didn't mean to scare mom just now. Mom, don't be angry, okay?"
Shen Zhi mistakenly thought that the reason why Shen Rang was sitting with his back to Jiang Cha and Jiang Cha was not talking at this moment was because Shen Rang suddenly rushed towards him and scared Jiang Cha. He didn't want his parents to quarrel, and he just saw... Dad had quickly protected Mom's head.
Jiang Cha rubbed Shen Zhi's little head, "Mom is not angry. Mom wants to thank dad for protecting her."
"Really?"
"Really." Jiang Cha paused and then deliberately pushed him away, "Xiao Zhi, can you go get mom and dad a glass of water?"
Shen Zhi stood up, "Okay~ Xiaozhi will go right away!"
Shen Zhi ran away.
Jiang Cha called out, "Shen Rang."
Shen Rang's voice was hoarse, "Well..."
"Um..." Jiang Cha scratched the tip of his nose, "You... do you need to solve it?"
Shen Rang thought he was hallucinating, and turned his head sharply, "You say it again?"
No matter how stupid Jiang Charao is, he should know that he said the wrong thing.
"Nothing, nothing!" Jiang Cha shook his head repeatedly, "I said I wanted to drink water, I'm thirsty, haha, hahaha..."
Shen Rang stared at her and smiled mockingly.
Jiang Cha knew he was in the wrong and quickly got up from the ground, "I'm going to check on Xiao Zhi. You... why not take a rest first."
Shen Rang: Hum╭(╯^╰)╮
Jiang Cha: ... Are you still arrogant
Shen Rang thought that if he continued to stay here, he might not be able to sleep well tonight, so he picked up the home clothes he had just taken off and put them on, then stood up and walked back to the room slowly in his slippers.
Jiang Cha heard the door closing and poked his head out of the kitchen, "Huh~"
Jiang Cha breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom." Shen Zhi said in a very low voice, "Are you making dad angry? Xiaozhi can help you comfort dad~"
"No." Jiang Cha smiled and shook his head, "Dad and mom are playing around, but mom still wants to ask, if mom really makes dad angry, how will Xiaozhi comfort your dad?"
"Kiss him!" Shen Zhi smiled, raised his right hand, lowered his head and kissed the palm several times, making a very loud "mua~~"
Jiang Cha was made to laugh by him, "Are you just coaxing daddy like this?"
"Yes~" Shen Zhi nodded, "Dad likes Xiaozhi's kisses very much~"
Jiang Cha bent down and kissed Shen Zhi on the face, "Mom likes it too."
"Xiao Zhi also likes it~"
"Okay, mom will watch an episode of cartoons with you, and then we'll have a rest, okay?"
"Okay~"
Although tomorrow is Saturday's rest day, Shen Zhi is indeed a little lazy after a holiday. Jiang Cha made an agreement with Shen Zhi to get up at the kindergarten school time tomorrow morning, and if he wants to lie down after dinner, he can go back rest.
Shen Zhi also readily agreed.
Although Shen Zhi is an obedient child, he is still a four-year-old child after all, so getting up at six o'clock on a holiday does not exist at all.
Shen Rang and Jiang Cha took turns to fight, but they couldn't wake Shen Zhi up from the bed.
In fact, I still don’t want to give it up.
The son was covered with a quilt on the bed, his face was flushed, and he was lying on the bed humming with his eyes closed, which made Jiang Cha feel soft.
Jiang Cha was reluctant to part with him, and naturally Shen Rang was reluctant to part with him either.
After this delay, it was delayed until half past nine, and Shen Zhi woke up naturally.
Breakfast had been postponed. The two of them had dinner with Shen Zhi and rested for a while before noon.
Shen Zhi remembered his new toy and would look at the door from time to time.
Jiang Cha comforted him, "Don't worry, I will call dad before delivering it."
Shen Zhien sighed and stopped looking this time. He was concentrating on playing with the train. He was removing the cover of the train and muttering, "Put a dad, put a mom, and put a little girl, hehe."
Jiang Cha & Shen Rang: ... ... ...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, people from the toy store called and confirmed that Shen Rang was at home, and they were ready to come over.
When the toys arrived, Shen Zhi happened to be taking a nap, so Jiang Cha and Shen Rang silently started unpacking them according to the delivery order.
When Shen Zhi woke up, he was greeted by new toys all over the floor.
Shen Zhi was very happy, touching this and that, and couldn't put it down.
Jiang Cha continued to play with his son, and Shen Rang's cell phone rang twice.
Shen Rang glanced at the person who sent the message, it was Xin Yin, and said, "Jiang Cha, I'm going to the study to handle something."
"good."
Shen Rang thought that maybe he had some clues about what he was asked to check the text messages yesterday.
Shen Rang closed the study door and sat on the chair.
He didn't mean to hide it from Jiang Cha, but after all, he hadn't contacted her for so many years. If possible, he really didn't want to let these things block Jiang Cha's heart.
[Xin Yin: Mr. Shen, the owner of the mobile phone number has been found to be Jiang Qiulin’s second son, Jiang Yao.]
Jiang Yao
This was really beyond Shen Rang's expectation.
[Xin Yin: However, according to the investigation, Jiang Yao should not know about the text message. It is very likely that someone else used his mobile phone to send it and then deleted the record.]
Shen Rang frowned and immediately replied to Xin Yin: [Check Jiang Zong and Jiang Yao and report to me as soon as possible.]
[Xin Yin: Yes, Mr. Shen.]
