Chapter 887 - 304: Mother-in-Law: I Quit My Job to Help Take Care of Your Kids! (Part 2)

But because she only came here once before the new year with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan didn’t let her stay here temporarily, she didn’t buy anything.

Yang Jinyu replied nonchalantly, "What’s the big deal? It’s just some toiletries, bed linens, and stuff like that, we still have time, we can go buy them."

"I remember, there’s a large shopping mall next to this community, it’s very convenient to buy things there. Besides, I’ve brought some cosmetics myself."

Since her mom said so, Bai Weixi could only nod and agree:

"Um, okay then!"

Yang Jinyu chuckled brightly, "Alright, let’s go. We’ll have lunch first and then go shopping!"

...

Around ten at night, when everything was tidied up,

Yang Jinyu pulled Bai Weixi aside for some private talks.

"Weixi, do you think your dad and I should continue teaching back home?"

Bai Weixi looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"

Yang Jinyu cleared her throat and answered, "Well, it’s like this, I was thinking, you’ve settled in Modu now, and we’re so far away back home, we often can’t take care of you."

"Ahem, in the future, when you marry Li Yuan and have kids, we can help you take care of the child."

Hearing her mom say this, Bai Weixi suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at her mom, her face already blushing, she pouted:

"Mom, what are you talking about? I just started my freshman year!"

"You’re talking about having kids, this is..."

Bai Weixi shyly lowered her head, she never thought that at just nineteen years old, not even reaching the legal marriage age, her mom would already be thinking about her having children.

It’s really embarrassing!

Seeing Bai Weixi’s shy look, Yang Jinyu didn’t mind and teased earnestly:

"Weixi, you’re not a kid anymore, you already know about dating. I’m saying, if you happen to get pregnant and have a kid, don’t easily abort it, it’s very harmful to the body..."

"If such a thing really happens, you must tell mom, I’ll help you make the decision."

Bai Weixi’s face turned red up to her neck, and she grumbled discontentedly:

"Mom, stop talking!"

"I’m still young, I don’t want to have kids so soon."

"Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore." Yang Jinyu felt a bit regretful in her heart.

Actually, she had something she wasn’t daring to say, mostly because her daughter is still young and hasn’t graduated college yet.

In her view, if her daughter really had Li Yuan’s child first, she could totally use it as a condition to make Li Yuan marry Bai Weixi and secure the "wife" title first.

This title is very important and influences the future.

She also believes that if her daughter really got pregnant with Li Yuan’s child, Li Yuan’s parents would surely agree to let Li Yuan marry her daughter...

Seeing her precious daughter not wanting to discuss this topic, Yang Jinyu didn’t press further. This matter was just casually mentioned by her, and ultimately, it depends on her daughter’s own wishes.

"Weixi, it’s like this, your dad and I have been teaching for half a lifetime, it’s quite tiring."

"Do you think we should resign from our jobs, move to Modu, and start a business?"

Bai Weixi widened her eyes again, being shocked by another surprising news from her mom, and asked confusedly:

"Mom, why would you resign when you’re doing well?"

"Both of your jobs are in the system, if you resign, wouldn’t you lose your status?"

Yang Jinyu chuckled, looking at her bewildered and shocked daughter, teasingly:

"Weixi, I didn’t expect you to know about the system status."

Bai Weixi blushed and explained, "I heard from my roommate before, she plans to take the civil service exam after graduation. So, I learned a bit about it. You and dad, being public school teachers, are in-system staff..."

Yang Jinyu nodded and explained, "The system status is of course important. Back then, I let you choose the accounting major because it’s good for taking civil service exams and finding other jobs."

"With your degree, after you graduate, you can totally apply for civil service jobs in Modu, settle down in Modu, and become a Modu resident."

"As for your dad and me, the status in that eighth-tier small county isn’t worth much, losing it isn’t a big deal. The monthly salary is just peanuts, sometimes they couldn’t even pay it. The local economic level is low, so the status in such places doesn’t mean much to people."

"If it were in a big city, it would be completely different, with all kinds of great benefits..."

Bai Weixi listened quietly to Yang Jinyu’s words, feeling enlightened. She indeed hadn’t paid much attention to these matters, knowing that public school teachers were also part of the system was already quite good.

Most people assume that only civil servants are part of the system!

Yang Jinyu continued speaking:

"This is just a vague idea, you can just listen to it for now."

"I feel that the education and training industry has been doing quite well in recent years, so I was thinking of setting up an education and training institution in Modu..."

Yang Jinyu chatted away extensively before looking at Bai Weixi and laughing:

"Of course, setting up an education and training institution requires quite a bit of investment, so I’ll need you to privately sponsor your mom a little."

Bai Weixi felt even more confused hearing her mom wanting to quit her job to set up an education and training institution.

As far as she knew, back in her hometown, there were many teachers secretly setting up various tutoring and coaching classes. However, her dad and mom never did it, focusing instead on tutoring her alone, giving her a homely feeling...

Bai Weixi paused before speaking up:

"Mom, money isn’t an issue, I still have more than four million here. If that’s not enough, I can talk to Li Yuan, he’ll definitely be willing to support it."

"But are you really planning to quit and work in education and training? Does dad know about this?"

Yang Jinyu’s tone paused, thinking of Bai Tianqi’s stubbornness.

Back when the two first met, she suggested they start a life together in Modu.

But due to some reasons from her family, Bai Tianqi insisted on returning to the hometown to teach, and she had no choice but to reluctantly follow him back to that small county town.

Now if she were to tell him that she’s planning to have both of them quit and start a business together, without a doubt, he’d disagree...

Yang Jinyu coughed lightly:

"Cough cough, this is just some thoughts in my mind, we’re just casually chatting, don’t mention it to your dad for now, okay!"

Bai Weixi smiled gently and nodded, she understood her dad.

While he usually seems to have a good personality, there’s a bit of a "wife-controlled" vibe. Yet when he gets really angry, not even a few bulls could hold him back, he’s stubborn beyond belief.

"By the way, Weixi, tomorrow let’s take another stroll around Modu, then buy some things and go visit your grandparents together."

"Your high school studies have been heavy over the past few years, and you haven’t seen your grandparents for three or four years."

"They’re already quite old, both over seventy this year, and their health isn’t good. If you don’t go now, you might not see them later..."

As Yang Jinyu spoke, tears unknowingly flowed from the corner of her eyes, revealing a genuine emotional expression.

As she gets older, her longing for her parents grows stronger.

If it weren’t for her grandparents’ strong opposition back then and their hurtful words, she would’ve restored relations with them long ago.

This time returning to Modu, in addition to looking at houses, she also wants to take Bai Weixi to visit her mother’s side.

Of course, there’s another reason she hasn’t dared to mention.

Seeing her mother crying, Bai Weixi quickly stepped forward to comfort her:

"Mom, don’t be sad, tomorrow I’ll go with dad to visit grandma and grandpa with you."

Yang Jinyu cried for a while, wiped her tears, and looking at her obedient daughter, felt warmth in her heart.

"Mm, mom was just expressing some feelings, missing your grandparents a bit."

"Sigh, speaking of it, all these years, I truly haven’t properly fulfilled my filial duties. Your grandparents cherished me the most back then."

"Oh, and my third uncle, back when the family was poor and there was little to eat, he often secretly gave me food."

As Yang Jinyu spoke, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

She vaguely recalled that her third uncle’s grandson is possibly the same age as her beloved daughter, even born on the same day.

However, his appearance and height seem ordinary, though he’s said to be quite smart with good grades, yet she’s unaware of which university he got into.

Yang Jinyu teased playfully:

"By the way, Weixi, there’s someone among your grandparents’ family born on the same year and day as you."
