Chapter 198
Ah, this.
Shen Fei did not expect that his sister-in-law would talk about Mengmeng's custody so directly.
Mengmeng was looking at him expectantly. How could he talk to Wu Qiujin about this?
He certainly did not want to give up Mengmeng's custody, but if he argued with Wu Qiujin at this time, Mengmeng would probably not be happy watching him.
After thinking for a while, Shen Fei smiled and said:
"Little sister, let's not talk about this in a hurry. Let's talk about it when we meet during the Chinese New Year. I want to discuss something else with you first."
"Mengmeng is on vacation at home recently. She is alone at her parents' place. It's boring without children to play with. I want her to go to my place. There are many children there, and the three sisters can get along more."
"In addition, I have someone install a telephone at home. In the future, if you want to find Mengmeng, you can call home at any time. Mengmeng can also call you at any time if she wants you."
After Shen Fei finished speaking, there was no sound on the other end of the phone.
The call was not hung up, but Wu Qiujin didn't say anything, as if she was thinking about what Shen Fei said.
She didn't say anything, which made Shen Fei quite embarrassed. At this moment, not only Mengmeng, but also the other two little ones, and the old couple Wu Wenzheng were all paying attention to him.
They all wanted to know whether Wu Qiujin would agree to let Mengmeng live with Shen Fei?
Looking at the expressions of Mengmeng and the other two little ones, they really wanted Mengmeng to continue living at home.
Shen Fei certainly wanted Mengmeng to live at home. After waiting for a while, seeing that Wu Qiujin hadn't spoken yet,
Shen Fei tentatively said:
"Hello, hello, is the signal bad? I can't hear clearly.
Oh, you agreed, right?
Okay, okay, I'll let Mengmeng call you using the home phone later.
Yeah, that's it for now..."
In fact, Wu Qiujin on the other end of the phone didn't say a word, and Shen Fei was ready to hang up.
Since you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent.
Go home later and see if the phone at home has been installed. If it has been installed, call her back with the phone at home. If it has not been installed, wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, the words have been said. Wu Qiujin has not expressed her opinion, so let's take it as a tacit agreement.
"Wait."
Just when Shen Fei was about to hang up the phone, Wu Qiujin on the other end of the phone spoke.
She said,
"As long as you promise not to compete with me for the custody of Mengmeng, then I will agree to let Mengmeng live with you during the holidays.
And if you like Mengmeng, I will let Mengmeng stay with you for a period of time every year during the holidays. How long she stays depends on her own happiness and it doesn't delay her coming back to class.
I am in the provincial capital. Whether it is education or medical care, it is definitely better than yours in the village. Even if it is for Mengmeng's good, you should let her follow me."
At noon, when she learned that Shen Fei had returned and brought Mengmeng home, Wu Qiujin was really anxious and thought about it for a long time.
Her first thought was that she couldn't let Shen Fei take Mengmeng away from her. Although Mengmeng was not her biological child, she had raised her since she was a child and loved her like a baby.
However, after hearing the laughter of Mengmeng, Niuniu and Xiaoliu, her tense heartstrings relaxed again.
She felt that Mengmeng was also very happy with Shen Fei. Since Mengmeng was happy, it was not impossible to let her stay for a few more days.
But she hoped to get Shen Fei's promise, a promise not to fight for Mengmeng's custody.
After hearing Wu Qiujin's words, it was Shen Fei's turn to be silent.
Wu Qiujin's current statement was the minimum limit in his plan, that is, the lower limit that he could agree to.
But the lower limit is the lower limit after all. Shen Fei still wants to fight for it. After thinking about it, he said:
"Verbal promises are useless. Let's wait until the New Year to discuss this issue."
"I can understand your feelings, but please believe that my love for Mengmeng is no less than yours."
"I also hope that she can live a better, healthier and happier life. They have been living happily in the village in recent days.
They are still young now. I think healthy and happy growth is the most important.
So, let Mengmeng go to my place these days and play with Niuniu, Xiaoliu and other children, okay?"
Wu Qiujin on the other end of the phone was silent again, as if she was thinking about what Shen Fei said.
After a long time, Shen Fei did not hear her answer. This time, when he tried to hang up the phone, Wu Qiujin did not say anything.
"Okay, okay, since you agreed, then fine, I'll let Mengmeng call you when we get home, yeah, bye."
Since Wu Qiujin hadn't said anything, Shen Fei couldn't let the two old people and three children wait, so he said a few words to the silent receiver and hung up the phone..
Done!
"Dad, did mom agree?" As soon as Shen Fei hung up the phone, Meng Meng immediately raised her little head and asked him.
The other two little heads next to her also looked at Shen Fei expectantly.
Shen Fei smiled and nodded to them, "Yes, I agree."
"Yeah!"
The three little guys cheered happily when they heard Shen Fei's words.
They have only lived together for two days, which is not enough. The three sisters have to live together longer!
Wu Wenzheng and Wu Hongmei, who were standing aside, were stunned when they heard Shen Fei say that Wu Qiujin agreed.
Then Wu Wenzheng asked Shen Fei:
"Shen Fei, didn't Qiujin say anything else?"
"Qiujin said that the weather has changed recently, and asked you to be careful not to catch a cold." Shen Fei said to Wu Wenzheng with a smile.
"......"
Wu Wenzheng was stunned. He didn't ask this!
"I mean, did Qiu Jin make any requests? For example, Meng Meng's household registration?"
Shen Fei shook his head and said:
"I'd better wait for Qiu Jin and her family to come back for the New Year, and then I'll talk to them face to face. It's hard to explain over the phone. Besides, my brother-in-law is not here, so I have to listen to his opinion."
From the news I got from Meng Meng, Wu Qiujuan, and other people in the Wu family, the brother-in-law didn't seem to care much about Meng Meng.
Even if he really agreed to what Wu Qiujin said, letting Meng Meng study with her and come back during holidays, Shen Fei had to meet the brother-in-law first.
In Meng Meng's mouth, her mother is very good, but when it comes to her father in the provincial capital, she basically has nothing to say, and even runs away...
This makes Shen Fei wonder, what is the attitude of the brother-in-law towards Meng Meng?
Maybe Wu Qiujin wants Meng Meng, but the brother-in-law doesn't want it?
Perhaps, the key to their divorce lies in Meng Meng.
If that's the case, then Shen Fei can be a good person and take Meng Meng away so that the couple can continue to live together.
What Shen Fei said makes sense. Wu Wenzheng nodded and said:
"That's right. We really need to have a good talk with them."
"Well, Wenbin's mother came to the county a few days ago and told us that Qiu Jin and her husband have never had a biological child, and their whole family is very anxious."
"It is said that an old Chinese doctor has retired recently and wants to call Wenbin and Qiu Jin back to see a Chinese doctor. We talked to Qiu Jin at noon, and Qiu Jin said she didn't have time to come back. Wenbin might come back."
