Chapter 182 Purpose
The child was her secret. Wang Tingting was furious. She stared at Zhang Yulan and asked word by word, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yulan was frightened by her expression and shrank her neck, but still insisted: "Nurse Wang, I am really doing this for your own good. You take the child to work, you are tired, and the child is also tired. You should think more about the child, not just yourself. The child will turn over soon. What if he bumps and falls? What should we do then!"
"Don't worry about that. I will take good care of my child and will definitely not let him have any problems!"
Although she said this, Wang Tingting couldn't help feeling worried and upset in her heart.
She didn't dare to leave the baby to others, fearing that her colleagues would abandon her when they were busy, so she had to leave the baby in the nursery, where at least no one could easily take the baby away. But the problem was that there were no other newborns in the hospital, and no adults were watching over the baby in the nursery. Xixi was the only child, and no one knew if she was hungry or needed a diaper change.
Zhang Yulan was right. The child really suffered a lot living with her as a single mother.
After Zhang Yulan said this, she was ready to be kicked out, but now she breathed a sigh of relief. After being criticized, she was not so nervous anymore.
She waited until now to bring this up, and there was actually some consideration. It would be very hard for Wang Tingting to go to work alone with her child, but after this period of time, she would adapt to this rhythm of life.
Zhang Yulan calculated that this was the most tiring and difficult time for Wang Tingting. If she relaxed a little, it would be difficult for her to hold on.
She said what she had rehearsed for a long time at home: "Nurse Wang, I know you really love this child, but as mothers, aren't we all thinking about the good of the child? You may think you are young and can persevere, but what about the child? Can you bear to let the child suffer with you?
Besides, you will have to take another step sooner or later. Who would want a woman with a burden by then?"
The more she spoke, the smoother her words became, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that they made sense. In the end, even she herself felt that she was doing it for Wang Tingting's own good. She simply straightened her back, her hands stopped shaking, her words stopped stuttering, and she said with a compassionate look on her face, "You all know that Lao Li and I still don't have a child.
If you believe me, I can raise Xixi as my own child. I am not afraid to expose my past. I may never have my own child in this lifetime, so you can rest assured that I will definitely treat Xixi well and treat him as my own son. Of course, you can go to see the child whenever you want. We are in the same military region, so it is convenient for us to meet."
Zhang Yulan became more and more confident as she spoke, but Wang Tingting's lips trembled with anger. Since she came to this unit, she had hardly ever been really angry. In addition, she lived in Lin Yue's house, which made others think that she was living under someone else's roof. This also made many people think that she was a good-tempered person who could be bullied.
This time she was really mad, her eyes were red with anger, and she said bluntly: "So you come to me every day these days because you are worried about my child! How ridiculous, you talk about yourself so noble, as if everything is for me, and you stay at home all day thinking about how to sacrifice for us mother and son, you must be exhausted, right? Thank you so much!
I really don't understand how you can be so shameless. This really opened my eyes!
Great men have said that we women hold up half the sky. I can earn money and support a family. Why can't I take care of my children by myself? Moreover, I am so much better than those men. Why should I rush to get married and serve other people's families?
Oh, I get it. You are a woman who cannot lay eggs. You have an unhappy life, so you want me to live a miserable life too! What’s wrong with being divorced? What’s wrong with not having a man? I also told you that I, Wang Tingting, can always live a good life! "
Lin Yue had been unable to get a word in just now, but now he clapped his hands and said, "That's very well said! And you are not alone, we are here too. Xixi has a godfather and godmother, and so many brothers and sisters. With us here, no one will bully you!"
She turned to Zhang Yulan and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, I advise you to leave quickly while we can still control our anger. As long as you don't talk nonsense in the future, I can still pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. Don't wait until things get out of control."
Zhang Yulan saw that the two were determined and knew that it might be difficult to accomplish anything today. However, she did not think it was her fault. Instead, she felt that she could understand the two. No one could agree to such a thing right away. People want to have a reputation. If they did not refuse right away, they would be criticized.
She moved her feet slightly a few times, but finally insisted on not leaving. She sat on the stool under the kang, while Lin Yue and Wang Tingting were standing. She had just been talking excitedly and didn't feel anything, but now she felt more and more awkward, as if she was suppressed by the other person's aura.
Zhang Yulan also stood up. For the first time, she was so tough and withstood the pressure from the two people. She said earnestly: "Don't be so satisfied. I want a child, but this will not do you any harm. After all, you know the situation of your family. Once this child is labeled as 'right' along with the adults, the road ahead will basically be blocked.
But it will be different if he follows us. Lao Li and I have good family backgrounds. Our three generations are all poor farmers. If the child follows us, he will be considered a legitimate child. And we will not have other children. We will do our best to train Xixi. His future will definitely be good."
Seeing that Wang Tingting was about to scold again, she quickly said, "Don't rush to refuse, why not listen to me first. If you agree, I will introduce you to a good marriage, don't worry, I will do my best. I know you will be reluctant to give up the child, but when you get married and have children, and your attention is not on Xixi, you will understand and you will definitely thank me then."
Wang Tingting was holding a child in her arms, which affected her ability to take action. She had long since given up listening, but this man, who usually looked timid and introverted, opened his mouth like a machine gun, firing non-stop. She and Lin Yue had no chance to interrupt.
After she finally finished speaking, Wang Tingting spat at her feet and cursed, "Bah! You put your head on a man's waistband and act like the sky is falling when you're away from a man. You think everyone is the same as you, right?
I'm telling you, don't use these to threaten me. I have nothing now. You still want to snatch my child away? No way! You'd better not show up in front of me in the future, or I'll go crazy and do something to please everyone!"
Lin Yue opened the door, pushed Zhang Yulan out, and said, "Sister-in-law, I know your in-laws don't like you and that you have a hard time. Your husband is your heaven. You've been out for so long, and I won't keep you here. Go home and serve your heaven, and don't waste your breath here with us. Also, don't get angry. Some people are destined not to have children. There's no need to be jealous when you see other people's children. You should think more positively."
Zhang Yulan tripped on the doorstep and fell out. She was half lying on the ground, with a burning pain in her elbows and legs. The pain seemed to suddenly sober her up from her excitement. She looked up at the two men, her head buzzing, and her eyes were filled with timidity and a hint of doubt.
She felt that the conditions she had proposed were good enough, and she didn't know why this happened. It looked like Wang Tingting didn't want to refuse and give her another chance to come and persuade her, but instead seemed to treat her as an irreconcilable enemy.
Her heart was pounding, and she knew that she might have messed up. She got up from the ground and said the last sentence with all her might: "You, you guys should think about it again. I really love Xixi, and I said all this for your own good. You should think about it again, and I will come back later."
After saying that, he ran out of the yard. Perhaps because he was too guilty, he stumbled and almost fell.
Wang Tingting cursed from behind: "Bah! If you dare to do that again, I will slap you in the face!"
Only after the man ran away did she relax a little, leaning against the door and staring blankly outside the yard.
Lin Yue took the child over, put her on the kang, and patted her back gently. Wang Tingting shuddered, turned around and lay on Lin Yue's back, crying loudly.
Lin Yue didn't say anything, just hugged her gently and let her vent her emotions. Some things seemed far away from her, but in fact, it was because she had just given birth and no one had come to her yet. After a while, countless troubles would come to her.
When Zhang Yulan showed her enthusiasm for Wang Tingting, Lin Yue was worried that she wanted to introduce Wang Tingting to someone. She was afraid that Zhang Yulan would introduce Wang Tingting to someone with poor conditions, which would hurt Wang Tingting's feelings, but she was also afraid that the other party's conditions were too good, but he was unwilling to let Wang Tingting marry with her child.
What Lin Yue was worried about was that the other party would ask Wang Tingting to give the child away, although she did not think that Wang Tingting had to remarry.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yulan was planning to take possession of the child and wanted Wang Tingting to give the child to her for adoption.
The sun gradually set in the west, casting a red glow on the horizon. Zhou Aixiang had heard the noise a long time ago, but she knew it was not a good time to lean on the wall to watch, so she just stood in the yard, seemingly listening to the noise here casually.
Several children crowded at the door on the other side to look over here. They didn't know what was going on, and there was curiosity and undisguised worry in their eyes.
Zhang Yuandong had been paying attention to what was going on here. He knew that the two women couldn't eat much, so he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cooking. The two women were in a bad mood, so he tried very hard to make the food more delicious so that the two women could eat it and feel better.
