Carrying big and small packages, they returned to the compound. Mother Qi and Qi Fenglian, along with Xiao Bao, were so tired that they went to rest. Cheng Su was also tired, but she rested only for a moment before getting up to prepare dinner.
"This is actually more tiring than going to work," Cheng Su complained inwardly.
Carrying the rice cooker, she went to the kitchen, where Chunhua was already washing vegetables. Seeing her come in, Chunhua moved aside, and asked, "I saw you guys coming back with lots of stuff. What good things did you buy?"
"Just a few pieces of clothing," Cheng Su smiled.
"Ah, you’re so lucky, earning more money, and your husband has prospects too. Unlike us, we live so tightly," Chunhua said as she peeled beans, letting out a sigh.
The comment sounded a bit sour, but Cheng Su smiled without responding.
Chunhua then casually suggested, "How about I come and work for you at your restaurant or factory after I have my baby?"
Cheng Su chuckled, "You’re planning to work? After your baby is born, you’ll need to take care of the child. Would Old Liang even let you work? Who would look after the baby?"
"It’s a situation of necessity, without much money at home. So, once the baby is a bit older, I’ll probably have to send them back to our hometown to be taken care of by their grandma."
Cheng Su looked over and frowned slightly, "So young, can you bear to do that?"
"Even if I can’t bear it, I must. Old Liang’s salary alone isn’t enough," Chunhua sighed and added, "Besides, isn’t this how it is in every household?"
Cheng Su pursed her lips. She knew she couldn’t bear it; leaving children behind wasn’t good. A child, you see, one less day of companionship each day, until at eighteen they completely leave your care and fly free. Then they wouldn’t need your oversight. So, if it were up to her, she would never send her future child to the countryside.
It was for this reason she was determined to create a good environment now. Without money, you couldn’t say anything.
"Every family has their own difficult scripture to recite," Cheng Su sighed too.
