"Father, you're back."

As soon as Lin Zhaoyue returned, the two children insisted on coming down to be held by her, and Jiang Guofu couldn't stop them. He thought to himself, "Grandparents really can't compare to other people's real parents."

"Zhaoyue, did you just get back from the hospital?"

Jiang Guofu knew his daughter-in-law was busy, so there was no one idle in their family.

"Well, there weren't many people at the outpatient clinic today, so I came back early."

“You’re always working so hard and never get a break. There’s no need to work so hard. We’re not short of money.”

"Who says work has to be about making money?" Hua Xiuyun said, first dividing the washed and cut apples among the two children. The apples she bought this time were more mealy, not particularly crisp, making them perfect for kids. She also had to keep an eye on them while they ate.

"If you're not going to work to make money, are you going to work for free?"

Jiang Guofu asked, puzzled.

"If that's the case, then the more patients the hospital has, the better?" Hua Xiuyun glanced at him speechlessly. Who wouldn't want to be healthy and go to the hospital? No one going to the hospital means the hospital won't make money, so naturally they won't spend money to hire doctors.

Jiang Guofu was speechless after being rebuked, and that seems to be the case.

The work of a doctor is different from other jobs.

"Mom, we're about to eat, and you're making them eat apples? How are they supposed to eat dinner?"

Lin Zhaoyue saw that their little mouths were stuffed full, just like little hamsters.

"We're going to the state-run restaurant for dinner in a bit; we have a dinner engagement today."

Hua Xiuyun then said, "Your aunt is going to treat us to dinner. We don't know how late we'll be eating tonight, so let them have something to eat first."

"What's up?"

Lin Zhaoyue was taken aback.

Why would a dinner party be arranged so suddenly?

"Yes, there is something," Hua Xiuyun said, then hesitated for a moment, "It's good news!"

"Aren't they both married? What good news could there be? Could it be that Lin Erwu made a fortune in business? No, if he really did, it should be Lin Dajun who's treating, not her." Jiang Guofu muttered to himself, frowning, unable to understand what was going on.

"Tsk, what are you guessing for? We'll find out soon enough." Hua Xiuyun glared at him helplessly as he completely veered off-topic.

Jiang Guofu: "Then stop keeping me in suspense. You definitely know what the good news is."

Hua Xiuyun knew, but she didn't know whether she should tell her daughter-in-law in advance.

Her smile froze. "Um, she's pregnant..."

"ah?"

The surprise didn't come from Lin Zhaoyue, but from Jiang Guofu.

Jiang Guofu looked like he'd seen a ghost. "You, she's pregnant?"

These two women are only two or three years younger than him, yet they were able to get pregnant?

However, since they invited me to dinner tonight, I suppose they intend to have this child.

He's already quite old, old enough to be a grandfather, and now he's having another baby?

Jiang Guofu had never heard of such a thing before. He opened his mouth slightly and asked, "Well, if they can have children, does that mean we can too?"

"What nonsense are you spouting here! You old lecher!"

Hua Xiuyun cursed angrily and chased the person out.

"Go and change your clothes right away. You haven't changed your clothes for days. Aren't you afraid of the smell bothering the child?"

When Jiang Guofu returned to the house, he was still muttering, "Oh my god," "That was terrifying."

Giving birth around fifty is nothing short of frightening.

Hua Xiuyun looked Zhao Yue up and down. "What are you thinking?"

"I," Lin Zhaoyue began, but then hesitated, unsure of what to say. She had no idea what to say.

"Mom, is it really okay for my aunt to have a baby at such an advanced age? Isn't it dangerous?"

"Yes, having a child at an older age is definitely different from having a child when you're younger. First of all, your body hasn't recovered as well as it did when you were younger. Also, various illnesses during pregnancy can threaten the lives of both mother and child. She told me about it first after she got pregnant. She seemed very happy at the time and wanted to have the baby. I can't persuade her to stay."

Hua Xiuyun sighed, "She got divorced when she was young and has been alone all these years. She met your father and they felt it was a good match, so they got married. At first, she just wanted to find a companion and didn't think about anything else. A few days ago, she felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant. Her biggest regret in life is not being able to have a child. She is determined to give birth to this child no matter what."

Her exact words to me were, "Even if it costs me my life, I'll give birth to this child."

"If someone risks their life, what will happen to the survivors?"

Lin Zhaoyue murmured to herself, "That's how it was when my mother gave birth to me."

He would rather give up his own life to protect her.

The child will certainly be raised well by someone else, but what about her?

Even if you give birth to a child, you won't be able to watch the child grow up.

This is pure obsession!

Hua Xiuyun sighed, "It's her own choice. No matter what others say, it's useless. Your father doesn't intend for her to have the child, but she refuses. She even said that she would keep the child even if it meant divorce, saying that the child was a gift from God."

Lin Zhaoyue: "..." She has no right to comment on other people's choices.

I just feel that maternal love is so great.

For her, it might be a happy event.

There's nothing shameful about an old clam producing a pearl.

Some people want to have children but can't.

This includes Aunt Lin Zhaoyue.

Qian Chunyun's pregnancy had the biggest impact on her.

Niu Zaifang had just given up on the idea of ​​not having another child when she saw that Qian Chunyun was pregnant. She had no appetite for the dinner party that evening, and Lin Dajun tried to persuade her for a long time, but she refused to go no matter what.

It was definitely not reassuring to leave her alone at home, so Lin Mingyue stayed home with her.

Niu Zaifang sat on the edge of the bed, wiping away tears. "Everyone else can get pregnant, why can't I?"

"Mom, other people get pregnant because they're younger than you. Our family is about to have a new addition, isn't that a joyous occasion? What will my second uncle think of you crying like this!" Lin Mingyue advised helplessly. "If we go now, it's not too late. Wouldn't it be nice if we all sat down and had a meal together as a family?"

"What's so great about other people's happy occasions? It's not like our family is having a new baby."

“We haven’t separated from our second uncle yet, so his son is your son. If you think your daughter can’t handle things, won’t his son take care of your funeral arrangements in the future?”

Lin Mingyue never thought much of her daughter. She thought her daughter was more considerate than her son, and she preferred her daughter.

“Other people’s children are their children; you can’t just take them away.”

Niu Zaifang's idea left Lin Mingyue speechless.

Snatching a child is so ruthless!

“My new aunt will definitely not have the energy to take care of the baby after she gives birth. She needs to recover, right? She will definitely need your help then. This child is ours, and the surname is Lin! If you have a son, wouldn't he also have the surname Lin? It's not like he has the surname Niu.”

"It seems so..."
