Chapter 69 Choosing surrogacy to save parents
Facing her son's problem, Zhang Qi's face was full of guilt.
The suppressed emotions in her heart spread to her limbs like a tide.
Thirty years have passed.
It's time to let him know.
It's enough to hide it from him for so many years.
Zhang Qi's face was full of tears, her eyes were red, and she cried in a hoarse voice, "Go and close the store.
There will be no business tonight. Listen to your mother slowly tell you."
Seeing that she had calmed down a little, Zhang Zhen stood up to close the store door.
Then he walked to sit opposite her and poured her a glass of water.
He took out a tissue to wipe her tears.
He said distressedly.
"Mom, I don't want to force you.
I just hope you can get out of the shadow and
live a happier life.
Although you didn't say it these years,
I know you have been living a very depressed life.
I know that your heart disease is actually a heart disease.
I hope you can open your heart and live for yourself in the second half of your life.
I know that you have been crying quietly alone in the night these years.
You tried your best to save grandpa and grandma's illness for more than ten years, and they passed away peacefully.
The only regret is that I couldn't see you happy with my own eyes.
I always thought that you were heartbroken by my dad, so
you didn't want to get married.
But the words of that girl just now made me understand how painful you have been all these years.
I think since we can hear her voice,
what she said in her heart must be true."
Zhang Qi looked at her son's worried face, and guilt and heartache filled her entire chest.
She wiped away her tears.
"Yes.
What the girl said is true.
I, indeed, gave birth to you and your brother through surrogacy."
Zhang Qi instantly fell into memories.
"Thirty-one years ago.
I had just received my college admission letter.
I was looking forward to college life.
I happily took the letter home, but before I could report the good news,
I heard your grandparents talking .
That day, fate played a huge joke on me.
Your grandparents were diagnosed with uremia and breast cancer respectively.
But they had been hiding it from me. They
planned to give up treatment.
Your grandparents were just ordinary textile workers.
They were suddenly diagnosed with such a terminal illness.
It was like a bolt from the blue for me.
For To treat their illness.
I lied to them and said that I didn't get into college.
I sold my house and car. I
gave up college to treat their illness.
However, the sky-high medical expenses were simply not affordable for a girl like me who had no social experience.
I worked everywhere, but the money I earned was just a drop in the bucket compared to the expensive surgery fees.
Later, in order to save them.
Under the introduction of a good friend, I secretly found a surrogate mother for a rich man without telling your grandparents.
The other party said that if I gave birth to a boy, he would give me two million. If I
gave birth to a girl, I would get 100,000 yuan. Give me one million.
For the money.
To save them.
I agreed.
The lady drugged her husband and asked me to replace her.
Later I got pregnant.
More than eight months later.
As soon as your brother was born, he was taken away by the buyer.
And you, who were born a few minutes later, were secretly kept by me.
The other party didn't know that I gave birth to twins.
I don't know who the other party is? I
don't even know where your brother was taken.
Have you been good these years?
Mom is sorry for your brother.
I have been feeling guilty and regretful all these years.
I can't forgive myself. My selfish behavior.
Whenever I see you,
I will think of your brother who was sold by me. .
Mom doesn’t want to get married, but she is not worthy of getting married.
After two people get married, they have to build a family and have children.
How can I, who is so selfish and sells my son, deserve happiness?
Mom is very sorry for not being able to give you a complete family.
But Ah Zhen.
Mom does not regret the decision she made. She
just feels guilty about your brother, and she may never be able to let it go in this life. "
Once, her parents' medical expenses were like a mountain, pressing her down.
She exchanged her eldest son for money and dug out a mountain of money on her body.
But she was burdened with a mountain of guilt.
When she was desperate, she knew that choosing surrogacy was a path that violated morality and ethics.
She knew that if she made that choice, she would suffer for the rest of her life.
But for her parents, she had no choice.
Her life was given by her parents.
Her parents loved her since she was a child.
She couldn't just watch them leave her.
Selling her son.
The moment she got the two million, she was in so much pain that she wanted to die.
The red bills were like sharp arrows. Every time she spent one, the pain in her heart intensified.
At night, every time she saw her younger son's sleeping face,
or heard his faint breathing, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
It is said that twins have telepathy.
When her younger son cried or laughed, she would wonder if her older son was the same.
She used the money from selling her older son
to replace her father's kidney and perform a mastectomy on her mother.
She saved her parents' lives, but made herself sick.
Her heart was sick.
It had been sick since the moment her older son was taken away!
That huge sum of money allowed her parents to live more than ten years.
But she lost her older son forever.
Originally, I thought he would live a good life in a wealthy family.
He would have no worries about food and clothing. He would
be pampered.
But after hearing the girl's inner voice,
she really broke down.
That family didn't treat him well.
His adoptive mother abused him since he was young and made him sick.
How much abuse did her son have to endure to become sick?
Zhang Qi really couldn't imagine it.
When her son was abused, she naively thought that he was living a good life in a wealthy family.
Now it seems that she was just deceiving herself.
Zhang Qi grabbed Zhang Zhen's hand excitedly, crying and begging.
"Ah Zhen, mom is begging you.
Help mom find your brother.
Please help mom check the identity of the girl just now.
Find out who her eldest cousin is?
Check if the eldest cousin she mentioned is your brother?
Mom wants to know how he is doing.
I always thought he was doing well."
She had thought about looking for her eldest son before.
But thinking that the family could generously come up with 2 million at that time, the family status must be very good.
The son should not suffer.
She was superficial.
How could the rich family have such an easy life?
After hearing this, Zhang Zhen felt even more distressed for his mother.
"You should have told me earlier.
Mom, I've seen all the suffering you've gone through over the years.
Don't worry, I will find big brother.
Whether he recognizes us or not, I will find him.
I'll let big brother know that you had no choice but to make that choice."
...
When He Xiyan returned to the ward, Xiao Qingguo had already wiped Xiao Mohan's body clean.
Lan Yan saw He Xiyan carrying three food boxes and took them off her wrists and asked.
"Why did you buy so much?"
He Xiyan said awkwardly, "I haven't eaten yet."
Lan Yan took a look at her hands and understood instantly.
She patted her forehead.
"Look at me, I forgot that your hands were wrapped like dumplings."
She put the food box on the bedside and took out the food box with noodles underneath.
"Come and sit down. I'll feed you."
Xiao Guoqing was afraid that He Xiyan would be greedy for his daughter-in-law's hand again, so he quickly reached out and pinched Xiao Mohan.
The boy had slept for so long, it was time to wake up.
He Xiyan's stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she didn't pretend.
But as soon as she sat down, Xiao Mohan on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes.
