"Oh, I see." Wang Chen lowered his head, looked at his toes and whispered, "It would be great if Uncle Lu was my dad. I heard from my classmates that dads can go home every day to spend time with their children."
The sound was not loud, but Lu Jiangting, who went down one floor, heard it.
He felt mixed emotions.
Yes, it would be nice if he had a father. His father could come home from get off work every day and he would have his father by his side every day.
But why...
Sometimes he would think, if only he had been the one to die.
This way, their family of three can be well, and Yuyao...if I die, Yuyao will definitely miss me all her life.
…
Hearing that Fu Leyi was sent to the hospital, the whole Pan family waited at home.
"There is still half a month left before the due date. Will she give birth or not?"
If the baby was born, they would have to hurry over.
If not, when will it be born?
Wang asked her daughter Pan Xiaohua to wait in the telephone booth downstairs, for fear of missing her son and the first call.
Of course, the most anxious person was not Wang, but her eldest daughter-in-law Huang Chun.
"Mom, there's still half a month left. What should I do if she really gives birth?"
"What can I do? She'll give birth to you, what else can I do?"
"But..." She touched her belly and said, "But my baby doesn't show any signs of coming out. My due date is half a month later than Fu Leyi's. He still needs to stay in the hospital for another month before he can come out. If he comes out now, he will be considered premature."
"It's premature, so what? Ten days or half a month early doesn't matter. He will have endless glory and wealth in the future, so of course he should come out earlier."
Huang Chun's first daughter had a natural birth, but if this one was to be born early, it would definitely not be possible for her to have a natural birth, and she would have to cut open her belly to get the baby out.
She had never seen it, but when she asked around, she heard that it required cutting open the stomach and making a big incision.
She was terrified at the thought of having her stomach cut open. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, when the day really came, she still trembled with fear.
Wang said unhappily, "Why are you shaking? Your son is coming to this world to enjoy happiness, you should be happy."
"Mom, I...how can I not be afraid?"
"Alright, alright, why are you so busy? Lanlan, help your mom go outside and rest. I'll pack the things for the hospital. Maybe we need to go there soon."
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Pan Xiaohua did not receive a call from Pan Hong because Pan Hong drove over directly.
As soon as the door opened, he urged his mother, "Mom, hurry up and follow me now."
Wang asked, "But is the baby about to be born?"
"Yes, I'm about to give birth."
"There's still half a month left, how come she's about to give birth?"
"Oh, how can you be so sure about childbirth? The doctor said that if it's half a month early, it's not considered premature, it's a full-term birth."
The knife was finally coming. Huang Chun was so scared that she was shaking even more violently. She said, "She is not premature, but I am. I still have a month to go. Mother, how about... how about just forget it."
Wang: "Humph, forget it? Let me ask you, if you don't change it, will your son blame you when he finds out?"
Huang Chun: “…”
"Are you willing to let the wealth you have acquired become someone else's?"
"This..." Wan Guan's wealth was handed over to others, who would be willing to do that? Who could be willing to do that?
Her husband works very hard and only earns a few dozen yuan a month. I heard that Fu Leyi's family only spends a few dozen yuan a day on living expenses. This gap cannot be made up through hard work.
Of course she was unwilling to give up such a life.
The huge fear was finally defeated by the huge temptation. Huang Chun gritted his teeth and said, "Switch."
"Oh, that's right."
Wang hurriedly urged her to go downstairs and get in the car.
Carrying a lot of bags, he said to his granddaughter, "Lanlan, your mother is going to the hospital to give birth to a younger brother, oh no, a younger sister. You stay at home and don't run around. When your mother gives birth to a younger sister, we will have money to treat your arm. Do you hear me?"
Pan Lanlan nodded stupidly.
Wang sighed. Looking at her eldest granddaughter like this, she still felt somewhat guilty.
After all, this era is not like their generation, where children are born in a very lucky way.
Those children are as numerous as cats and dogs, and are worthless.
With the current family planning policy, many families only have one child, whether it is a son or a daughter.
It turns out that she is also lively and cheerful, and her little mouth is very talkative.
But since her arm was broken, she hardly spoke and her reactions became slow, as if she had become stupid.
How can I not feel heartbroken when I see her like this?
What can be done?
Without a grandson, the Pan family would be extinct. If the Pan family were extinct, she would become the sinner of the Pan family, and she would not be able to face her ancestors after she died.
You can't blame her. If you want to blame someone, blame the world.
They hurried downstairs and ran into Pan Xiaohua who was returning from the phone booth.
"Hey, second brother, why are you here? You didn't even tell me you were here, leaving me waiting in the phone booth."
"Oh, I don't have time to talk to you."
"What's going on? Is my sister-in-law about to give birth?"
Wang said anxiously, "Yes, your sister-in-law is about to give birth. Go back and look after Lanlan. We have to take your sister-in-law to the hospital."
"What the hell? I'm going back to see Lanlan? I'm not going?"
Wang was actually a little hesitant. She felt that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
Although the lady is not an outsider, what if she is stupid and lets the cat out of the bag?
It would be nice if she could live in the countryside all her life, but she has to marry into the Fu family in the future.
What if she marries into the Fu family in the future, does something disloyal, and tells others about it?
So after thinking about it, I decided not to let her know.
"Yes, you don't have to go. The hospital is very crowded and they won't let in too many people. Go back and look after Lanlan. We don't know when we can come back."
The Wang family's three people quickly got into the car.
Pan Xiaohua had no choice but to go back.
When they got to the road, Pan Hong asked in confusion, "Mom, why did you send my eldest sister away? I have to go look after Xiaoyi in a while. Even if you look after my eldest sister-in-law by yourself, you may not be able to handle it."
Wang said, "If I am too busy, I will have to do it myself. I can't let your eldest sister know. Your eldest sister will marry into the Fu family in the future. She will be a family with them, not a member of our Pan family. Maybe she will be on the same side with them in the future. What if she knows and tells others about this?"
Pan Hong thought that made sense.
Huang Chun said anxiously, "Mom, Lanlan has always known that I am pregnant with a son. She even complained a few days ago that you were planning to sell her for a good price to accumulate wealth for the son in my belly."
Wang's mouth twitched, and she angrily cursed, "This damn girl, she doesn't know how to behave even when I treat her well. I think I was right to be on guard against her. Look, she hasn't even started yet, but she's already turned her elbow out. Sell her? I found her a rich husband, and she actually said I sold her out. Humph, damn girl, you have no conscience."
