Chapter 46 He Was An Insensible Husband
Priscila continued, "Your house is not far from the school, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the school district. I think Leila can take care of the two children, and just do laundry and cooking for them. As for the food expenses..."
Patrick hurriedly said, "Priscila, they're my nephew and nephew. You don't need to pay for food. I'll find someone to help the two children go through the transfer procedures, transfer them to a local school to study, and let Leila pick them up every day after school. She is idle at home anyway."
Priscila and her husband were very happy to see that their younger brother agreed.
Penny reminded his son, "Patrick, you have to discuss this matter with Leila. She's a member of this family after all."
She said to her daughter, "I heard that you can't come to junior high school if you don't go to primary school here, and you have to transfer your household registration here. Your house is not in a rural area and it's just a suburb. The surrounding schools are not bad. You two studied in those schools. Weren't you admitted to good universities?"
She felt that as long as the child was good at school, it didn't matter which school he went to.
"Yes, Mom's reminded me, Patrick, how about I transfer the two children's household registration to your family's household registration book? Or you can transfer the real estate certificate of the house to my name first, and then move out of the household registration or transfer the real estate certificate back to your name when the two children graduate."
Mr. Ray was eating watermelon with his son in his arms. He had no opinion on this matter.
Patrick didn't think too much, and he agreed, but still said, "I'll tell Leila later. I'm in charge of this family, but what Mom said is right. She's a member of this family after all. Besides, taking the children to school and picking up the children from school, cooking for the children will be her job. I think I should ask her advice first."
"Priscila, after we discuss it, I will give you a call. Don't worry. I won't let my nephew and nephew fail to study in a good school."
The brother and sister were close and Patrick believed in his sister very much. He thought he should help her as much as he could. Besides, his nephew and nephew were not outsiders.
Priscila was full of joy, and she persuaded his younger brother, "You should stop arguing with Leila later. It is normal for a husband and wife to have a little conflict. You were classmates for many years, and you have a deep emotional foundation. For Andy's sake, don't fight with her."
She was afraid that if she would instigate another fight between her brother and her sister-in-law, Leila would not help her take care of the children in a fit of anger, and then she wouldn't feel relieved to send the children here.
When she asked Leila for a favor, she still had to bow her head.
Paul also said at this time, "Patrick, your sister is right. Don't fight with Leila. If there is anything, sit down and talk to her calmly. Don't hit her. Look at me and your mother. We've been married for decades, and I've never hit your mother."
Patrick muttered, "My mother is virtuous. How can Leila be compared to my mother? She's getting more and more outrageous. She doesn't earn a penny, and it seems like she's got a big credit for looking after a child at home. I suggested going halves just to save some money. She has always spent a lot of money. Dad, you don't know, I gave her 3,000 living expenses a month, and she could spend more than 1,000 a day."
"My mother and sister asked me to go halves with her. If I didn't do this, she wouldn't think of a way to make money or know how hard it is for me to make money. Now she's going halves in housework. She just needs to be taught a lesson."
"She spent more than a thousand a day, and that's too much. You still have a mortgage and a child, and she has no income. She lives entirely on you. She's not considerate. Going halves is not bad. I didn't say that you couldn't go halves."
Paul immediately favored his son, "When a person is cornered, he will always think of a way out. She can also do some part-time work with the child at home and earn some living expenses. But don't keep talking about teaching her a lesson. Husband and wife have to live together for a lifetime. You have only been married for a few years. If you always fight, how can you grow old together?"
Patrick pouted and said, "Dad, I see, I won't deal with her tonight."
The family gathered around to eat watermelon and watched TV for a while before the Cerone family went into the room to rest.
They would stay here for a few days. Now that Teresa had moved out, and there was an extra room, it was enough for the Cerone family to live.
But without Teresa helping with housework at home, Leila was busy taking care of the children, buying groceries, and cooking, and the house didn't feel so clean and tidy.
Before entering the room, Priscila stopped her brother again, and whispered to her brother, "Teresa and her husband bought a lot of things. Just now Leila brought everything into the room in a fit of anger. I saw them, and they were all good things.
"If there are good cigarettes and wine, you can bring some to your brother-in-law. Leila doesn't smoke or drink wine, and you don't lack those things. But your brother-in-law is reluctant to smoke a good cigarette and Dad has never had any good wine. You can give Dad the wine."
Patrick chuckled and said, "Priscila, look, take anything you like. Go and bathe the boy and take him to bed. Tomorrow night I will not work late and I will drive you out for a drive."
"Okay." Priscila grinned and went back to her room contentedly.
Patrick pushed open the door open and went in. Andy was already asleep, and Leila had just come out of the bathroom. Seeing him come in, Leila ignored him, walked to the bed, sat down, and was about to lie down.
"Leila, I have something to talk to you about." Looking at her fat figure and comparing it with Isabelle's, Patrick felt disgusted. He walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
First, he touched his son's little face. His eyes were soft, and he loved his son very much.
"What's up?" Leila's voice was flat.
"My sister said that her two older children will be transferred to the primary school in the city, and then they will also go to junior high school in the city and live in our house. You will help pick up the two children and cook for them in the future. Anyway, you have to cook every day, and it's just two extra plates."
"In terms of living expenses, I can give you an extra 1,000 per month, and the two children can't eat much. It's enough to give you an extra 1,000 a month."
"Our house can be regarded as a school district house, and the Waternll No.2 School not far away is one of the key middle schools. The children's household registration will also be transferred to our household registration book, or the real estate certificate will be transferred to my sister's name first. When the children graduate, the real estate certificate will be transferred back to my name."
"That's my sister, and we can trust her. Don't worry about her not returning the house in the future."
Leila was already full of anger, and she had endured a whole night without having a flare-up. She had wanted to leave it like this, and she was too lazy to argue with her husband. Unexpectedly, the anger she had suppressed surged again after she heard her husband's words.
