Chapter 751: I was just helping out
The next day, after Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing got off work, they went to Cheng's house together.
Cheng Jing never expected that her parents-in-law had already discussed this matter with her parents yesterday.
Cheng's father pulled his son-in-law to drink tea and chat with him, while Cheng's mother led Cheng Jing into the room.
"Your parents-in-law came yesterday afternoon. I was thinking of calling you yesterday to ask you to come over, but I figured you would definitely come back today and tell me about it, so I didn't rush you."
Cheng Jing asked in surprise, "Mom, Erhe's parents have both come?"
Cheng's mother nodded: "Your father and I think your in-laws are right. If you can have a child with Erhe, it will be a good thing for you. Besides, your in-laws have already considered all aspects of things. They have even arranged everything for Miguo perfectly. I'm not just praising your in-laws, but you won't find in-laws like them anywhere else in the world. You are lucky to have such good in-laws."
Cheng Jing lowered her head and said, "I know! His family has always been very good to me!"
"That's exactly it! As the saying goes, 'put yourself in someone else's shoes.' Your in-laws' idea is perfectly reasonable and can only benefit you! After your mother-in-law told me about it, I immediately agreed. Now I just want to ask you, what are your thoughts?"
Cheng Jing replied, "At first, I didn't know what to do either. Mainly, I wasn't mentally prepared. Later, my mind was in a mess, and it took Erhe a long time to persuade me before I finally figured it out!"
Cheng's mother asked directly, "So, are you going to have another one?" Then she said to her daughter earnestly, "You're only in your early thirties, still young. Take advantage of this time and have one soon. Your father and I can help you out."
Cheng Jing nodded: "Actually, I've thought it through. I also want to have a child with Erhe, one for both of us!"
Hearing her daughter's attitude, Cheng's mother said with relief, "That's right! Your in-laws' requests are really not unreasonable. Putting myself in their shoes, I can understand them. If it were your father and me, we wouldn't be as considerate as your in-laws."
Since Zeng Lijuan and Lao Huang had already laid the groundwork perfectly, Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing's plan to have a child was settled. However, Huang Erhe still needed to ask his younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan, what methods he could use to circumvent the policy restrictions. This was something Huang Erhe had never been able to figure out.
In fact, Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing didn't rely on that salary to make a living, but the couple believed that having a stable job was better than staying at home and being lazy. Besides, they didn't want to be lazy and unwilling to work, as their upbringing prevented them from doing such a thing. So, naturally, they didn't want to lose their current jobs.
Instead of going to his younger brother Huang Xiaochuan's office, Huang Erhe invited him out to a nearby coffee shop.
As soon as Huang Xiaochuan received Huang Erhe's call, he knew what it was about.
It seems the mother was quite quick; experience really does pay off! You have to admit it!
"Second Brother!" Huang Xiaochuan greeted Huang Erhe upon seeing him.
Huang Erhe stood up to greet him, saying, "You're here! What would you like to drink?"
Huang Xiaochuan placed his teacup on the table and smiled, "I brought my own. Explore the infinite possibilities of urban novels, all in p>"
At this point, a waiter, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and reminded him, "Sir, I'm sorry, but we don't allow outside food and drinks here!"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't even look up. Gao Song pulled the waiter to his side, stuffed several hundred-yuan bills into his breast pocket, and patted him on the shoulder: "Is this enough?"
The waiter glanced at the Huang brothers, tactfully accepted the money, and turned to walk towards the bar.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't take any of this to heart. Instead, he asked Huang Erhe, "Did you agree to what Mom told you?"
Huang Erhe nodded, then asked in return, "Can I disagree?"
Huang Xiaochuan smiled: "Actually, when you think about it, your parents are doing this for your own good."
"I know!" Huang Erhe replied in a muffled voice.
Huang Xiaochuan continued, "What did your second sister-in-law say? Did she agree too?"
"My parents went to my second sister-in-law's house on Sunday afternoon and told her parents. I'm speechless. They really gave me a blitzkrieg!" Huang Erhe complained.
"Hahaha!" Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but laugh.
Huang Erhe then posed a question that had been troubling him for the past few days: "My mother told me that you can circumvent the policy issues, so I'm here to ask what your plans are?"
Huang Xiaochuan unscrewed the lid of his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then slowly answered Huang Erhe's question.
"It's super simple! Just give birth in Hong Kong!"
Huang Erhe was astonished that his younger brother's method was so simple: "That's it?"
Huang Xiaochuan held up two fingers and said, "I have two options. First, you and my second sister-in-law resign, and she goes home to have the baby. After the baby is born, we'll pay the social support fee according to policy—whatever it is! But I guess you don't want to resign, so we'll have to use the second option: give birth in Hong Kong. According to Hong Kong law, you can have Hong Kong residency if you're born there. Besides, Hong Kong is part of China, so giving birth there is legal and reasonable! It doesn't take up national resources, and even if someone finds out, you don't need to worry. There's no law or policy that says you can't give birth in Hong Kong."
Huang Xiaochuan took another sip of tea and continued, "Didn't I give you a villa in Hong Kong? You remember? You have a place to live, and a hospital for childbirth is readily available. You should know that Hong Kong Kangci Hospital is mine. You can rest assured that your second sister-in-law will give birth there! All you and your second sister-in-law need to do is take a long leave. If it's difficult for you to get leave, I'll have someone talk to your head office."
Huang Xiaochuan was very confident in saying this, after all, many of the orders from the ocean shipping company under Dadao Group were given to the head office of Huang Erhe's unit. When the time came, Cao Charlie would just make a phone call, and this little matter would be resolved in no time.
After hearing this, Huang Erhe remained silent for a long time. How could he possibly say anything? This arrangement could only be described as flawless. No wonder his mother was so confident.
Huang Erhe sincerely thanked his younger brother: "Little brother, thank you!"
Huang Xiaochuan feigned displeasure and said, "Look at you, why are you being so polite with me? If you want to thank someone, you should thank your parents. I'm just helping them out."
