Please think this over carefully, okay? I'm also hoping for a daughter, but it's not the right time yet.

Sheng Xiping was so worried that he almost pulled out a handful of his hair.

"Listen to me, don't ruin your future for the sake of a child. This is a matter of your whole life. What will you do if you regret it later?"

Sheng Xiping really cares about his wife.

Even if Zhou Qinglan didn't work, Sheng Xiping could still support his wife, children, and elderly parents.

But if that's the case, wouldn't Zhou Qinglan's university education have been a waste? Then what was the point of her going through all that trouble to take the university entrance exam?

They could have gotten a permanent position as teachers at Qianchuan Forestry Farm if they had just stayed there. They should have had a child during the last two years when none of this was happening. They could have had a third child, or even a fourth.

Now, the key is that the situation is different. If we want to have children now, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'll talk to my parents later."

Zhou Qinglan was either pregnant and irritable or just being stubborn; she wouldn't listen to anything Sheng Xiping said and hung up the phone immediately.

Sheng Xiping was dumbfounded when he heard the dial tone on the phone.

This woman's temper has grown since she went to university; she even hung up on him on the phone.

Sheng Xiping thought for a moment and decided to go home and discuss it with his mother. If that didn't work, he would take leave as soon as possible and go to the provincial capital again.

This is no joke. We're all grown up now, how can we act recklessly and do whatever we want?

"Dad, Mom, there's something I need to discuss with you."

When Sheng Xiping entered the house, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were planting vegetables in the garden.

Sheng Xiping opened the small door next to the garden cane, went in, scratched his head, and didn't know how to start the conversation.

"What's wrong? Look at you, what's wrong?" Sheng Liancheng was taken aback when he saw his eldest son's worried face, and asked casually.

"Dad, Mom, Qinglan just called and said she's pregnant," Sheng Xiping said, scratching his head with a troubled expression.

"Huh? She's pregnant? What happened the other day? How many months has it been? She went back to school after the New Year, it's been months already, how come it's only now?"

Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Liancheng were both completely baffled.

"Well, last time I went to the provincial capital, we spent one night together, and she got pregnant."

Even discussing these things with one's own parents would be too awkward. Even with Sheng Xiping's thick skin, he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

"What the hell? Sheng Xiping, I think you just need a beating."

Zhang Shuzhen, who is usually good-tempered, suddenly became furious after hearing her son's words. She grabbed a wooden stick from the side and was about to hit her son.

"Don't you know when it is? There are only six months left before Qinglan graduates and gets a job."

"If you get her pregnant now, aren't you just causing trouble? Will she finish university? Will she give up her job?"

Sheng Xiping couldn't just stand there and let his mother beat him, so as soon as he saw his mother coming with a stick, he ran away.

"Mom, how old am I? Why are you still hitting me? What will it look like if Xinyu sees this?"

"You know you're old? I think you've only gotten older, but you haven't gotten any brains."

"You never do anything good, who else should I beat if not you?" Zhang Shuzhen swung a stick, ready to chase her eldest son away.

On the other end, Sheng Liancheng sighed, grabbed his wife, snatched the stick from her, and threw it away.

"My goodness, you're getting older and your temper is getting worse. You're even chasing your son with a stick, trying to beat him?"

Are you trying to make sure everyone knows? Are you spreading it around the world?

As Sheng Liancheng spoke, he glanced at his neighbors on the left and right, and only felt relieved when he saw that no one was in the yards of the neighboring houses.

"Come on, come on, let's go back inside and talk things out. Can't we sit down and discuss things slowly?"

"You think beating your son will solve the problem?" Sheng Liancheng softened his tone, coaxing Zhang Shuzhen.

And so, the three of them came out of the vegetable garden and sat down in the east room.

"What does Qinglan mean? Does she want it or not?" After entering the room, Zhang Shuzhen glared at Sheng Xiping and asked.
