Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Have Economic Foundation Before Giving Birth?

Gu Jianbin’s face darkened instantly as he asked, "What are you making a fuss about now?"

Gu’s wife’s expression was particularly cold. "I’m not making a fuss anymore. This house is for you and your mother; I won’t stay. I’ll leave. I’m not part of the Gu Family. Can’t I leave?"

Anyone with clear eyes could see that Gu’s wife’s heart had cooled entirely to utter such words.

Gu Jianbin felt a headache coming on, "My mother came here out of goodwill to help you with the child, didn’t she? Why can’t you appreciate that?"

"I can’t appreciate that?" Gu’s wife scoffed. "Gu Jianbin, do you have a conscience when you say that? Do you not know what happened the last time your mother came? She said she was here to help me with my postpartum recovery, but in reality, I had to cook for her. Was she here to help me, or was it her postpartum?"

"Now Dabao is just over two years old, and she is already urging me to have another child. Am I just a breeding tool for your family? Besides, if we have another child, do you still want to work? Do you really want to risk losing your job due to violating the birth policy by having another?"

The family issues, shouted out in front of Shen Mianmian, made Gu Jianbin feel embarrassed, and his words turned harsher, "Who told you to be so incompetent as to give birth to a daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Gu’s wife burst into tears, "Gu Jianbin, is it solely my responsibility that we had a daughter? Don’t you have any responsibility? Doesn’t our daughter have the Gu surname? What era are you living in, still valuing sons more than daughters?"

Seeing their mother cry, the child also started crying again. Gu Jianbin, exasperated, shouted, "Cry, cry, cry, that’s all you know! Don’t you care if other people are trying to live here?"

Since getting married, every time home issues came up, the couple would argue endlessly. Gu Jianbin was indeed very annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Gu’s wife, regardless of anything, tried to leave again, and Gu Jianbin went after her to pull her back.

As the couple fought, the child cried intensely, and Shen Mianmian also felt a headache. She furrowed her brows, looked at the couple, and said coldly, "If you continue to fight like this, I’ll ask you to move out. It’s clearly stated in the contract that during the rental period, disturbances affecting other residents are not allowed."

Gu Jianbin and his wife were momentarily stunned. They knew that Shen Mianmian’s house was the cheapest and best in the area. Most importantly, despite yearly rent increases in Beijing, Shen Mianmian had never raised their rent.

Moving out would mean they couldn’t find another suitable house.

Seeing the couple calm down, Shen Mianmian added, "From your earlier conversation, I understand some things. I want to clarify now; you rented a one-bedroom apartment. It’s clear in the contract that people outside the immediate family are not allowed to live here long-term. Although Wang Erfeng is your mother, she does not count as a member of your small family, and so she cannot stay here. If you want to rent another place for her, that’s your own business."

Hearing this, Gu Jianbin was stunned, but Gu’s wife was thrilled. She said to Gu Jianbin, "Did you hear that? The landlord does not allow extra people to stay here. If you want her to stay, then you need to rent another place for her."

Gu Jianbin was at a loss for words. Rent in Beijing was expensive; it cost a considerable amount each month. His mother staying in the living room didn’t require extra rent, but staying elsewhere would be different.

Seeing his hesitation, Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but add, "Gu Jianbin, your salary isn’t low, right? Is it worth it to lose your job just to have another child? If you want more children, why not wait a few more years until you’re more financially stable?"
