Chapter 54 The Poor Child

Both husband and wife are soldiers, and they have no elderly parents to support, so how could they be poor?

Zhu Haomei covered her face and cried: "We never thought we would encounter something like this. Most of the money was used to subsidize the families of our fallen comrades, and we had almost no savings."

Chen Baoping: …………

Shen Yifan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "I will be going on more missions, and I will keep all the money at home from now on. Yuanyuan really can't live without you, so why do you insist on going back to the army?"

A pang of sorrow flashed in Zhu Haomei's eyes. "I want to go back."

Shen Yifan was heartbroken with anger: "If you hadn't been pregnant and still insisted on interfering with the police operation, how could you have gotten hurt? You didn't tell me you were hurt, you didn't go to the hospital for a checkup, and instead you hid it and toughed it out on yourself, which resulted in Yuanyuan being injured in the womb and having a weak constitution for life. Don't you feel guilty? Isn't she your daughter?!"

Chen Baoping: !!!

Onlookers: !!!

There's even more shocking news here. Some old-fashioned women couldn't stand it and couldn't help but say, "Comrade Zhu, you've ruined the Shen family's descendants, and you still want to abandon your child? I've never seen such a heartless mother!"

"Yes, the child is weak. How can he get better without his mother's care?"

"Nothing is more important than your children when it comes to making money. You might make money but lose your children, and then you'll regret it!"

"It's also possible that she didn't want this burden anymore, after all, she's just a girl."

Shen Yifan and Zhu Haomei seemed to have been stung, and spoke almost simultaneously: "My daughter/Yuanyuan is not a burden!"

"Stop arguing and fighting! Stay home and take care of the kids!"

"Exactly, if they really liked that child, would they still leave him in daycare?"

Apart from the few new family members, who in the family compound doesn't know who? The Shen couple rarely see each other, and they were all skeptical of their relationship at first. Later, when they had a child, everyone thought Zhu Haomei would settle down and take care of the family. But before the child was even a year old, she started making a fuss. They tried to persuade her, but they couldn't stand her selfish behavior.

Now that they know the child is unwell, almost everyone thinks she deliberately wants to get rid of the child in order to protect her career.

Yun Wangshu didn't think so. Before, it was Shen Yifan who reacted wrongly, but after figuring out the inside story, it became Zhu Haomei who reacted wrongly, because she didn't seem stupid either.

Even if this matter reaches the higher levels of the military, she will most likely be asked to leave the military, unless someone can find a professional to help take care of the child. But who would be willing to take the risk of making a mistake and bear the responsibility?

Zhu Haomei couldn't possibly be unaware of this, yet she still insisted on returning to the army. She wasn't heartless when mentioning her daughter, so there's only one answer: returning to the army would be more beneficial for that child.

What is more helpful for a sick child than a mother's company and care?

It's money.

Thanks to Tian Juan's memories from another world, Yun Wangshu knew that a mother is capable of anything when she goes mad. Zhu Haomei was probably driven insane by endless self-blame and pain.

But besides her biological mother, who else in this world could love her unconditionally?

The novel depicts many such situations. Usually, the stepmother doesn't love her, and the biological father is often away from home. No matter how much money he leaves, he won't use it all on her, and she becomes a pitiful little thing.

Yun Wangshu blinked and beckoned to Chen Baoping, who looked like she was constipated.

Chen Baoping: ?
