The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 948 - 917 Astonishing Method

Huo Yingjie’s face showed a hint of discomfort as he awkwardly said, "We didn’t use contraception before, but we also didn’t get pregnant, so..."

Upon hearing this, the old couple both smiled.

"Hehe, this child, since he has come, it’s also fate. Let Tiantian stay at home and not go out. I’ll help take care of things," Old Master Huo said. Although there were policies, since the child was already on the way, it wasn’t possible to not want it.

"Yes, don’t worry," Old Madam Huo said. "Although it’s a bit troublesome, there’s always a solution."

Song Chunli, who was listening to the side, felt grateful for the help He Tiantian had given her in earning money, and she chimed in with her own suggestion.

"Mom, this is simple. Just go to the hospital to get a certificate that the child is already over three months, conceived before the family planning policy. When it’s time for the planned delivery, we’ll find a baby and claim it was Tiantian’s, and register the baby’s residency first. All Tiantian has to do is hide for two months, claiming she’s weak and can’t see visitors. When it’s time to give birth, just bring a good gynecologist from the maternity hospital to our home for Tiantian to give birth. Wouldn’t that confuse everyone?"

As soon as Song Chunli said this, everyone sitting there was stunned with admiration.

"What’s wrong?" Song Chunli frowned. "Is... is this method not good? Uh uh... it does seem a bit improper, it’s just that I don’t know if we can get the residency registered in advance without knowing the gender of the child. If the gender is registered incorrectly, that would be bad."

"Good, good!" Huo Yingjie repeated enthusiastically, "Auntie, your idea is great, really great. Tiantian and I hadn’t thought of this either. Ever since the family received a notice a few days ago for Tiantian to be fitted with an IUD or sterilized, the two of us came up with a plan. We originally wanted to hide in the countryside, but Tiantian couldn’t bear to leave the child, so I found a small courtyard at the Qingyuan Daoist Temple in the suburbs for her to hide in. That way, I can often bring the child over to visit her."

"Ah?" Old Madam Huo was taken aback. "You haven’t already sent Tiantian to the Taoist Temple, have you?"

"Hmm!" Huo Yingjie’s face turned a bit embarrassedy, "I just hadn’t thought of Auntie’s excellent plan. I was only thinking about ensuring the child’s safety by hiding early."

"Haha!" The room erupted with joy upon seeing Huo Yingjie’s embarrassed look.

They never expected even a clever person could commit such an oversight.

Song Chunli saw that her in-laws appreciated her idea and was even more enthusiastic as she said, "Huanhuan, you go out to the hospital and get that certificate for Tiantian. You’re the Boss’s wife, so you should avoid suspicion, but find a trustworthy gynecologist."

"Hmm, okay, I’ll handle it when I go to work this afternoon," Zhao Huanhuan giggled behind her hand. The second brother and his wife are usually very shrewd, but when it comes to these worldly trivial matters, they just don’t know how to adapt.

"Then it’s settled," Song Chunli said with a laugh, "Once you get the certificate, bring it to me. Leave this matter to me. I’ll talk with the person in charge at your neighborhood’s family planning committee. Some things, even when they know about it, they have to feign ignorance. Our family has always been law-abiding and has never bullied others with our influence, but today, for the sake of our Huo family’s child, we’ll bully just this once."

Old Madam Huo was quite astonished by her eldest daughter-in-law’s words.

Aiya, she had not expected her eldest daughter-in-law to have such insight.

Old Master Huo laughed heartily and said, "The Boss’s wife did well! Well said!"

"Yes, truly unexpected," Old Madam Huo said with a chuckle, her gaze towards her eldest daughter-in-law filled with satisfaction, no longer tinged with the usual scrutiny.

Perhaps because she seldom received praise from her in-laws, Song Chunli was very excited, and she promised confidently, "Since Tiantian isn’t in Yanjing, it’s most appropriate for me, as the aunt, to step in. Dad, Mom, Yingjie, don’t worry. I’ll make sure everything is handled perfectly. Tiantian doesn’t need to be hiding everywhere; just staying at home will be fine. Our Huo family’s child definitely can’t be born in a Taoist Temple; wouldn’t that make him a little Taoist monk?"

"Hehe, thanks, Auntie," Huo Yingjie gratefully said. "In a little while, a new batch of good items will return to the antique shop. Then, I’ll find some fine jade and craft a set of exquisite jewelry for Auntie and the Boss’s wife."

"Aiya, there’s no need to be so formal, we’re all family," Song Chunli laughed, thinking to herself when she might receive that set of jewelry.

At the same time, Song Chunli seemed to understand that pleasing her in-laws wasn’t so difficult; she just hadn’t found the right approach before.

With this new experience, she could surely keep her in-laws happy in the future.

Old Madam Huo knew her eldest daughter-in-law’s nature was to be somewhat frugal, but if she could handle matters with the family’s best interest in mind like this time, she would not only receive gratitude from others but also their respect.

Given her second grandson’s and his wife’s generosity, they would certainly reward her accordingly.

That evening, she would have a private talk with the eldest daughter-in-law.

She hoped the eldest daughter-in-law would always be like this, so they could rest assured even after she and the old man were gone.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I have to pick up the kids at noon, so I won’t be eating here," Huo Yingjie said. "Now that Tiantian’s not home, I worry the kids will cry. Yesterday, it took me a long time to soothe the two kids to sleep."

When they heard that their dear great-grandchildren were crying, Old Madam Huo and Old Master Huo became concerned. "I’ll go back with you to help with the kids, so they won’t cry without their mom around."

"No need; you won’t rest well if you change locations," Huo Yingjie said. "After lunch and sending the kids to school, I’ll go pick up Tiantian. We’ll use the method Auntie suggested and pull a feint to the east but advance in the west."

"Alright, just be careful on the road," Old Madam Huo said with a smile, glad to have found a good solution to the issue.

Before leaving, Huo Yingjie earnestly stood up to thank his aunt. "Thank you, Auntie. I’ll tell Tiantian this afternoon that this excellent idea was yours."

"Hehe, what’s this matter? It’s just that you’re young and don’t understand the ways of the world. Go on, this matter is in the hands of Auntie and the Boss’s wife; I guarantee there won’t be any issues," Song Chunli said. After all, it’s merely a pretense that those with discerning eyes might see through.

If someone still clings to it unwillingly, then they are picking a fight with the Huo Family.

Whatever means necessary, let them come forth.

After Huo Yingjie left, Old Madam Huo said with a smile, "Chunli, you see, you can’t just look after your own interests when doing things. Look, by helping others, they will also thank you. Yingjie and Tiantian are good kids; they’ll surely honor you even more in the future."

"Mom, I understand. I was foolish before, but now I get it. The whole family’s happiness is the true happiness. As an elder, caring for and looking after the younger ones will naturally earn their respect," Song Chunli said with a smile. She had learned something today and felt the benefits of her actions.

"Mhm, good. Your dad and I can finally be at ease," Old Madam Huo said. "In the future, you take charge of the matters. The main house is yours to run."
