The next morning, everyone gathered together for breakfast.

Red bean buns, pork and scallion soup dumplings, millet porridge, red rice porridge, egg sauce, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and a plate of fried spring rolls.

The children ate with great gusto.

After Zhao Di reluctantly ate a few bites, she stood up and bowed to Tian Guifen and Shen Wanli to apologize.

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry."

“I didn’t know I had this disease before. If you divorce me when Erming comes back, I will have no objection.”

Zhao Di made her attitude very clear.

She cannot burden others or have her own children.

What's more, this person is her husband.

"What are you saying, child? Now that you've married into our family, we're all family. Now that you're sick, our priority is naturally to get you treated. Don't think about those messy things, just focus on getting better. As long as you and Erming are doing well, your father and I won't have any objections."

“Indeed, at first I couldn’t accept that you might not be able to have children. But I’ve come to understand this tonight. Everyone’s fate is predetermined. Maybe it’s just that Erming is destined not to have children. We have so many children in our family, we can’t let you have no one to worship you in the future.”

"Besides... I can tell that Erming likes you a lot. If he doesn't mind and would rather not have children than not be with you, I won't stop him. After all, I can't abandon my son and daughter-in-law just because I don't have a child."

“Your father and I have many grandchildren, and we have no regrets. As long as you two can discuss it, that's fine. If we really don't have the fate to have children, you can either adopt or leave them as they are, it's up to you.”

My daughter is right.

Each generation carries the same worries as the last.

Her responsibility was to raise her children, educate them well, and help them find wives.

As for what happens next, that's not her concern.

Everything depends on Erming's decision.

"...Thank you, Father and Mother."

Zhao Di was surprised by the candor of her in-laws.

Saying she minded, but ultimately choosing to let it go for the sake of her son, is much more convincing than saying she didn't care from the start.

She was truly grateful that her in-laws had shown their support in this matter.

"Alright, go with your sister-in-law to the city government office to see a doctor first, then do some shopping and relax. Bring plenty of money with you; Liu Liu said that when you're unhappy, you should spend money, buy things, and eat good food, and it will cheer you up."

Tian Guifen smiled broadly.

The smile gradually faded only after Zhao Di and Wang Xiuhe had left.

"Mother, didn't we agree that everything would go with Second Brother?" Shen Liuliu was worried when she saw her mother's disappointed look.

Tian Guifen gave a bitter smile: "I know I agreed, but I'm still a little disappointed."

How could I not be disappointed at all?

How could all the pain be healed in just one night?

However, she is an elder, and if she puts on a long face, Zhao Di will feel even more pressure.

Whether for her daughter-in-law or her son, she hoped that Zhao Di's condition would improve.

A couple should have a child of their own. Children are the bond of their relationship, and many things will change once a child is born.

This doesn't mean that there isn't pure love between husband and wife; rather, the relationship between husband and wife is a complex mix of love, kinship, and friendship.

Shen Erming arrived the next afternoon.

They returned together with Zhao Di and Wang Xiuhe; the three of them must have met in the city.

When they got home, Zhao Di's eyes were red, which suggested that the young couple had already talked things out.

"What did the doctor from the city say?"

"I asked anxiously."

If possible, she still hopes that Erming and Zhaodi can have their own child.

“…It’s pretty much what they said in town,” Wang Xiuhe said on behalf of Zhao Di.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a pang of disappointment.

Even a shrewd and calculating doctor won't do?

Shen Erming said, "Father and Mother, I want to set off with Zhaodi to the capital tomorrow."

Instead of waiting for An'an's reply, it's better to set off now and save time.

Every day is torture for Zhao Di now; she desperately wants to know the answer.

“Okay, then bring plenty of money. Don’t rush on the road. Take Zhaodi around and have some fun.” Tian Guifen did not object.

The sooner we arrive in the capital, the sooner we'll know the results, and the less people will have to worry, right?

Shen Erming nodded: "Yes, I wrote to the wineries in the capital before I came, and they will arrange accommodation for us."

Whether for the sake of the child or because Zhaodi was ill, going to the capital was an inevitable matter.

There's no time to lose.

So after receiving the letter and learning about this matter, Shen Erming began to make arrangements.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother. If anything happens to the Mei family, please keep an eye on them for me." Shen Erming knew that his wife missed her family the most, so he took the initiative to ask his family for help.

When the Mei family was mentioned, Tian Guifen and Shen Wanli's expressions changed.

Shen Erming and Zhao Di noticed this change and felt uneasy.

What's wrong?

"Ahem, Second Sister-in-law, is something wrong at home? Your brother's in-laws came today..." Shen Liuli kindly told Zhaodi about it.

She hadn't expected the other person to be so shameless.

Zhao Di's face changed instantly: "How dare they come? I've already warned them! Father and Mother, I'm sorry, I'll handle this. If they come again in the future, you don't need to give me face, just refuse to see them."

I guess Duan Xiaohong's family will just repeat the same old story again!

That's incredibly shameless.

I just don't know if Erlang knows...

"Hey, it's nothing. Your father and I know this couldn't have been your idea." Tian Guifen didn't take it to heart.

Who doesn't have a few troublesome relatives?

After the distillery started making money, relatives from the Shen family, her maternal family, and countless other distant connections came to visit.

They're not here to borrow money; they're here to make money.

In short, the objective is very clear.

Having seen so much of this before, Tian Guifen wasn't particularly surprised by the behavior of Duan Xiaohong's family.

She had already witnessed how money could make people ugly.

"Erming, I'll go back and take care of this first."

Zhao Di's eyes revealed a sharp edge.

She didn't want to make things too ugly, but Duan Xiaohong had gone too far.

Shen Erming immediately said, "Then I'll go with you."

Zhao Di refused: "No need, I can go back by myself. Besides, at a time like this, it will be more effective for me to go back by myself, even if it's a bit of a hassle for you."

"What?"

Shen Erming didn't understand.

What's wronged about him?

Zhao Di twitched the corner of her mouth: "You'll find out later."
