Reality proved that her in-laws were unreliable, and her maternal family was also useless.

When Wu Jiaojiao’s brother and sister-in-law heard that she had borrowed so much money, they immediately waved their hands and refused. It would be fine if he borrowed a thousand or eight hundred yuan, but who would dare to borrow money from thousands of miles away?

“Jiaojiao, don’t hate brother and sister-in-law! There’s a saying that goes,’save the poor, not the emergency’. Look, you guys are anxious, but you’re really poor! Your brother and I worked hard to earn this money. They had to feed the elderly and the young! He still had to fill his stomach before he could continue working!

Am I right? So, I can’t give you that much money!” Wu Jiaojiao’s sister-in-law had put it nicely. She was telling her that she had her own life to live and that she could not give her all the money.

Wu Jiaojiao felt that her brother and sister-in-law were heartless. They usually looked very good, but at critical times, they would not take money.

Hence, she went to look for her own mother.

However, she could tell from her own mother’s incident that her own mother did not help her.

In a mother’s heart, her brother was the most important person. As for her daughter, who was married off, she would take care of her if she could. There was no other way.

Facing her daughter’s pain, she gritted her teeth and took out 500 yuan from her savings.

Five hundred yuan was simply a drop in the bucket for a fee of ten thousand yuan!

But she had no choice. She could only help up to this point.

After she was discharged from the hospital, Wu Jiaojiao needed to go through her confinement period. Her mother-in-law, Wei Guiqin, was paralyzed in bed and could not take care of her at all. Therefore, she could only bring her own mother over.

However, the old lady was afraid that her daughter would cry and ask for money. The old lady was quite ruthless, so she simply found an excuse that her heart was not feeling well recently and that she could not take care of Wu Jiaojiao’s child.

However, she was afraid that her daughter would completely fall out with her, so she asked her son to spend money to find a nanny in the market and let the nanny serve Wu Jiaojiao for a month.

Wu Jiaojiao seemed to have seen through her mother’s thoughts and did not say anything.

She had been crying for more than 20 days during the 30-day confinement period. Su Jingheng felt that it was useless to beg anyone, so he simply went out to look for work himself. He went to find a grain station to work for others.

In the middle, when he had time, he even went to the construction site to do small jobs for others. Every day, he was exhausted to death, and the money he earned could be counted on his fingers.

They had not even given birth yet when the family planning office on the street came to look for them. This was a fine for having an extra child, and the amount was huge. They were told to pay the fine quickly, or else the child would not even be registered.

A child without a household register was a black household.

Black households could not go to school, and their children could not receive education. In the future, they would be illiterate.

Su Jingheng and his wife were worried again. They could not sleep in the middle of the night. Su Jingheng squatted in the courtyard and smoked one cigarette after another until the cigarettes in the cigarette box in his hand were all gone. Only then did he hold the empty cigarette box and return to the house.

Wu Jiaojiao woke up in the middle of the night and opened her arms to feed the child. She felt a headache when she thought of the fine she had to pay! However, no one in the family could help them. Those who could help had to go to Su Hanyan.

Facing the cruel reality, she thought for a long time and finally said to Su Jingheng,”Jing Heng, I think we should go and look for Su Hanyan! The only person we can ask for help from now is her!”

“You said that even her parents won’t help her? How can this girl be of any use?” Su Jingheng shook his head.
