Chapter 675: Chapter 323 - Only Go When No One’s at Home_1

Upon hearing Yan Fei talk about even taking responsibility for incorrect accounts, Lin Baoguo had no other recourse. He thought about it and then simply said, "Go talk to your aunt yourself. If she wants to go, let her go. If she doesn’t want to, what can I do? Brat, you’re so protective of your wife, not letting her do a bit of extra work..."

Yan Fei laughed openly at Lin Baoguo’s excuse, taking it as his agreement. Without waiting for him to finish, he said cheerfully, "Look at you! I’m thinking of your good, alright, I’m off. I’ll go talk to her soon. There’s no time to lose..."

Lin Baoguo shouted after him, "She’s gone to work now. You won’t find anyone at home ..."

Yan Fei pretended not to hear, thinking, it’s precisely because no one is at your home that I’m going there. If she’s home, I wouldn’t go!

After leaving the police station, he initially wanted to go directly to Lin Baoguo’s house. But when he was about to reach their front door, he remembered something, and instead, drove straight past on his motorbike.

After taking a round outside the town, he had two new fish on his motorbike. He then headed directly to Lin Baoguo’s house holding the two fish.

When Lin Baoguo said no one was at home, he was referring to Xiang Rui’s absence. In reality, there must be someone at home.

After knocking on the door, he surprisingly found not only Xiang Rui’s mother there, but also the child’s nanny.

So, Yan Fei felt even more confident.

The two old ladies usually took turns looking after the child, something Yan Fei knew well. It was a coincidence that both were present today, and both greeted Yan Fei with the same enthusiasm, "You shouldn’t have brought fish! Let me take it..."

Yan Fei gave a sweet smile, "Auntie, don’t bother. I can carry them in."

He carried the fish into the house, "I went fishing down at the river today and caught these two fish. Don’t underestimate these fish because of their looks. They’re sturgeons, with not a single small bone. We don’t usually see them in the river here - I was just lucky. I brought them home to make some soup for my little brother. Auntie, get me a basin. I’ll clean them up right away. I’ve already got my hands dirty, so you won’t have to deal with the fishy smell..."

"Look at this child, so considerate..." Both the old ladies had a particularly good impression of him. They were even more pleased with his talk and continuously refused to let him clean the fish. However, they were eventually unable to resist his ardent insistence and fetched a basin and a cleaver for him.

As Yan Fei started cleaning the fish on the ground, he talked to the giggling baby, "Don’t rush, you’ll get to eat fish soon. Grow big and strong for school so you can have a little brother to play with..."

Xiang Rui’s mother laughed and said, "Look at this child, who allows a second birth now! If it’s some other family, they might still manage to have a baby secretly. But both your uncle and aunt have stable jobs. If they want to have a second child, they would lose their jobs!"

Yan Fei sighed with a regretful look, "True that, I forgot. But I’m definitely going to have more kids in the future. I can manage the fine for having extra children. If an only child grows up without any siblings, he/she won’t have anyone to confide in during hardship..."

His speech was a common one among the older generation in town, so he ’borrowed’ it.

As expected, when the two old ladies heard him say this, they empathized, "Indeed! Such a great burden for one child in the future! If he marries a wife who is also an only child, the two of them will have to take care of four elderly parents, without anyone else to help..."

Yan Fei did not have any personal attachment to this topic. He had merely stirred it up intentionally. He pretended to be sympathetic and chatted with the old ladies for a while before hesitatingly broaching the subject, "Err, aunties, let’s have my aunt manage my accounts in the future! Can she stop working at the guidance station?"

"What happened, child? Why did you suddenly bring this up? Did you hear something?" The two old ladies, noticing his expression, immediately inquired.

"Not at all, it’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I need someone to manage my accounts and thought about asking my aunt to help. I didn’t hear anything..." Yan Fei quickly said, then lowered his head in a guilty manner, focusing on his battle with the fish scales.

The more he behaved so, the more the old ladies wanted to ask, "Look at you, kid, there’s nothing you can’t tell us two old ladies. If you have something to say, just say it!"

It was only after the ladies pressed him a few times that he reluctantly began, "There’s not really any big issue. My cousin mentioned to me that some people in the village gossiping about my aunt working at the guidance station. So much so that anyone in the village wanting a second child doesn’t dare stay, for fear of being reported..."

"Who said that? Your aunt doesn’t even have time to go back now. Who would be so heartless as to spread such rumors..." The old ladies got upset instantly.

The heartless one who was cleaning the fish feigned innocence and chimed in, "Exactly, I always said my aunt isn’t like that!"

After letting the old ladies vent, he added, "But I feel like working at the guidance station isn’t worth it. You’ll have to spend money to maintain relationships, and the salary is so meager. Plus, you still get talked about. It’s better for her to help me out at the cattle farm. Auntie, I’m being truthful. If my aunt helps me out, I promise to take good care of her every day. It’s only some accounting, no big deal. Let’s see who dares to talk about her then. They’d have to get past me first, right?"

While the old ladies were in two minds, he struck while the iron was hot and continued, "In the past, my uncle looked after me quite well. Even when I was broke, he lent me money. Now that he’s a station head, I’m afraid of creating a bad impression if I occasionally want to bring something over for my little brother. Last time when I wanted to bring some beef, I was worried about what people would say. So, I made sure to bring enough for everyone at the station. It would’ve been good if my aunt worked with me..."

After saying all this, while the old ladies were still in deep thought, he changed his focus to the toddling baby. "What do you think, kiddo? Your brother can give your mom eight hundred RMB a month. And your mom can bring you some meat regularly to eat. You’ll become plump and strong, and nobody will dare bully you when you start school..."

The old ladies didn’t know much, but when they heard Yan Fei talk about the village gossip, they were unsettled. Now they were hearing about the 800 RMB per month and how he could frequently bring meat home for their grandson. Considering that Xiang Rui’s formal work relationship was still not established and it was uncertain when it would be, they remembered Yan Fei mentioned a cost for that as well. So, they couldn’t help but ask Yan Fei, "You can afford such a high salary at your cattle farm?"
