In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
She patted Wu Xiaomei's hand gently and comforted her, "My daughter, I know you're having a hard time, but there's nothing I can do about it.
It's better than being caught by the family planning office and forced to have an abortion. Once this storm is over, we can find a way to come back.
After the baby is born, you can’t just stuff it back there.”
If Li Guifang heard this, she would definitely laugh at it. Wu's mother was too naive. Yes, the child could not be put back, but a fine could be imposed!
The kind that will bankrupt everyone!
Wu Xiaomei was still very hesitant, but she was really afraid that the people from the Family Planning Office would come to her house again.
There is another important question. If she goes into hiding, what will happen to her two children?
Anyuan is already in school now, but Anyang is still young. The shop is about to be completed. By then, Li Minghua will be running back and forth and will be so busy that he will have no time to take care of the children!
She looked at the gray sky outside the window, as if she saw the difficulties in her future.
When she told her mother about this concern, her mother turned her attention to Li Guifang.
Wu's mother sat aside, her brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and she was anxious and worried.
She was silent for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "How about we entrust the child to your mother-in-law? She's retired, so she can take care of the child for you.
Your eldest uncle's children are all in school, right? Your younger uncle isn't married yet, so now's the perfect time for you to take care of them!"
Wu Xiaomei sighed helplessly and said slowly, "Mom, you don't know, my mother-in-law has opened a shop called Guifangzhai, selling bread, and the business is booming.
She is usually too busy to have the energy to help me take care of the children. Moreover, although she is my mother-in-law,
But after all, she's not my biological mother, so it's not easy to talk about this."
After hearing this, Wu's mother showed a trace of envy on her face and murmured to herself, "Oh, your mother-in-law is so rich now. She opened such a big shop, Guifangzhai. I saw it on the roadside these two days."
After Wu's mother returned home, she began to earnestly warn her sons and daughters-in-law: "You must remember that the Li family is no longer what it used to be. Guifangzhai is thriving, and the Li family is a wealthy family with a great business.
We have to maintain good relations with them, maybe we can benefit from them in the future."
But she didn't expect that things would often develop contrary to her wishes, but that's a story for later.
At this moment, Wu Xiaomei is still trapped in this difficult choice and doesn't know where to go.
In the evening, Li Minghua hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to talk about Wu Xiaomei to Li Guifang, who was sorting out the account books.
"Mom, Xiaomei is planning to hide at her aunt's house." After Li Minghua said this, he waited for Li Guifang to speak, but for a long time, Li Guifang didn't respond!
Li Guifang left Li Minghua alone for a long while before she stopped what she was doing. She raised her head, looked at Li Minghua calmly, and said calmly, "This is a matter between you two, you can decide for yourselves.
But now I'm busy running the shop, you have to go to work, your father will watch over the shop for you in Wujia Village!
If Xiaomei hides at a relative's house, what will happen to the two little ones?"
When Li Minghua heard this, he lowered his head and became silent as a stone.
Li Guifang looked at her silent son, feeling a little uncomfortable. In her past life, these two people had indeed been good to her.
However, just because they were good to her, Li Guifang, she couldn't just watch them walk step by step towards the abyss!
If this child must be born, then give birth to him at home!
The little granddaughter in my previous life was in poor health. The doctor said it was because she was not taken good care of in the womb.
Wu Xiaomei's aunt's home is in a remote mountain area, where there is nothing. Although she can avoid the family planning office there, she cannot avoid the poor nutrition in the womb!
"Minghua, it's not that Mom doesn't want to help you, but you've seen the situation at our house.
Don't push everything onto us. You two will be busy running the shop later, and your two sons are still young. Having another one now would be very stressful.
If you decide to have a baby, I suggest that Xiaomei give birth at home.
It is not suitable for a pregnant woman to travel long distances. Moreover, when she was pregnant with two boys, I tried my best to nourish her body so that she could give birth safely.
You know what her aunt's family conditions are like, not to mention where it is, isn't it more comfortable to have your own home?
As for the Family Planning Office, you can take care of it. If you have some money on hand, at least one or two thousand. I heard from a customer before that the Beijing City has already introduced a fine for having more than one child, and it's also one thousand or eight hundred. You should consider these things carefully and make your own decision!
But let me be clear, I can't possibly pay for your families, you guys, so you have to make your own decisions!"
Li Guifang sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Li Minghua remained silent, his mind a turmoil.
Li Guifang didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, she gave him advice but it seemed like she didn't give it. No matter what happened this time, it couldn't be blamed on her!
