"Mom, it's true! Many military doctors in the army have taken my pulse. How could I joke about something like this with you?" Su Yueya said. Seeing Bai Xiuhui's smile made her feel much better.
Perhaps this is the significance of this child coming into her life at this moment.
While everyone was grieving the passing of Lu Zhengjun, new life brought new hope and vitality, enabling the living to bravely move forward.
"That's great, that's great..." Bai Xiuhui murmured, her hand still resting on Su Yueya's lower abdomen, reluctant to pull it away.
Thinking of her son who died young, and then of the little life in Su Yueya's belly, Bai Xiuhui felt that God wasn't too cruel, at least He had given her a grandson or granddaughter.
This little one is now her biggest motivation to keep living.
But... Bai Xiuhui looked up at Su Yueya, who was smiling sweetly and looking down at her stomach, and her heart clenched tightly.
Su Yueya is a good girl and a good daughter-in-law.
Logically speaking, since Lu Zhengjun is already dead and Su Yueya is still so young, even if she is the widow of a martyr, it doesn't mean she can't remarry.
There's a big difference between remarrying with children and remarrying as a single person.
No matter how you look at it, a single person remarrying is definitely more advantageous than someone with children remarrying.
Bai Xiuhui certainly wanted Su Yueya to be happy, but the child in her womb was Lu Zhengjun's only bloodline left in this world...
She was ultimately just a selfish mother.
"Crescent Moon, can I ask you for a favor?" Bai Xiuhui suddenly asked.
The person who was smiling just moments before now wore a tense and guilty expression.
Su Yueya didn't understand why this change was happening. Did Bai Xiuhui not really feel happy when she found out she was pregnant?
That's impossible.
A mother-in-law as good as Bai Xiuhui would never be unhappy knowing that she was pregnant.
“Mom, you can just tell me what you’re thinking. There’s no need for you to ask me for anything.” Su Yueya grasped Bai Xiuhui’s hand in return and said sincerely.
The more she acted like this, the more guilty Bai Xiuhui felt.
What a wonderful daughter-in-law...
"Yueya, Mom begs you, you must give birth to this child, okay?" As she spoke, Bai Xiuhui's eyes filled with tears again. She stroked Su Yueya's hand with her thumb, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Su Yueya was taken aback. He was begging her to give birth to the child?
Is there any need to beg for this?
Of course she's going to give birth!
She'll fight anyone who tries to stop her from having a baby!
Before Su Yueya could even speak, Bai Xiuhui began to explain on her own.
"Yueya, Mom knows this request is excessive and I'm very sorry, but Mom really has no other choice..." Bai Xiuhui felt particularly guilty. She had always lived up to her conscience, but in this matter, she felt that she had not stood in Su Yueya's shoes and considered her feelings.
Su Yueya: "...???"
That's going too far? I'm sorry?
"Mom, what are you saying?" Su Yueya couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted Bai Xiuhui's explanation.
Bai Xiuhui reached out and touched Su Yueya's face. What a wonderful child!
"Crescent Moon, you are still so young, you can remarry in the future."
Remarry?!
Like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky, it struck Su Yueya and knocked her unconscious!
Remarriage?! She never even entertained that thought! Not even for a second!
“Mom has been through this, I’ve lived half my life. Remarrying with a child would just be a burden. Given your current situation, not having this child is the best thing for you, but…”
"Mom really can't bear to part with this child! This child is the only bloodline left by Zhengjun in the world, and the only thing he left for me and his father. We really want this child! Mom knows this request is selfish, but Mom has no other choice."
"Crescent Moon, could you please give birth to this child and let us raise it? This way, it won't affect your remarriage. You can acknowledge the child if you want, or if you don't... Our Lu family will never say a bad word about you to anyone."
"I'm begging you, please, Mom!"
After saying these words, Bai Xiuhui was already in tears.
Her child was her last hope.
So no matter what, she had to grasp at this lifeline. She was willing to give any condition as long as Su Yueya agreed.
"Yueya, your father and I can give you all our savings. Don't worry, even so, we both still have jobs and income in the future. We'll also have pensions when we retire. We'll definitely raise our child to be very good and outstanding. Our child can also support you in your old age," Bai Xiuhui promised Su Yueya.
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Su Yueya felt particularly uncomfortable and immediately felt sad as well.
She was initially puzzled, thinking it was strange that her mother-in-law thought she didn't want to have the child. But after hearing these words, she realized that everything was for her own good. She was worried that her second marriage with a child would not be smooth, so she wanted to have an abortion.
"Mom, don't say that, and don't think that way. I never thought about aborting this child! If that were really the case, why would I have come to tell you so soon?" Su Yueya said, choking back tears.
"Don't cry, Yueya," Bai Xiuhui wiped away Su Yueya's tears, her own voice choked with emotion, "You're pregnant now, you can't just cry like that."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the baby and myself, and give birth to this child safely..."
She still wants to wait for Lu Zhengjun to come back with her child!
“I don’t need you or Dad to give me money, and I’ve never thought about remarrying. I came here specifically to tell you that you’re about to become a grandmother, and you can’t continue like before, neglecting your own well-being, and you shouldn’t be so sad every day…”
"Mom, you and Dad must stay healthy. After I have a baby, I will continue to work. Everyone on my side of the family is also working. What will happen to the baby? There will have to be an elder to help take care of the baby. When my family and I are not free, the baby will have to be sent to your place to be looked after occasionally so that I can feel at ease!"
"So you must take good care of your health. Taking care of children is not an easy task. You don't want your little grandchildren to have no one to take care of them in the future, do you?" Su Yueya said aggrievedly.
"Crescent Moon, do you really think so?" Bai Xiuhui was overjoyed.
She was terrified that Su Yueya didn't want the child—although whether or not to have a child was Su Yueya's right, and she had no right to interfere.
Knowing Su Yueya's thoughts, she was filled with gratitude.
"Of course, Mom, when have I ever lied to you and Dad?" Su Yueya retorted subconsciously, then remembered that she had concealed Lu Zhengjun's faked death, and suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
