The woman cried and begged the man.
"I'll give birth! I'll give birth! I won't divorce!"
"How are you going to give birth?" the man scratched his hair in frustration. "Now families are only allowed to have one child. The rules are very strict. If you give birth secretly, you'll be fined, and my family can't afford the fine. If I divorce and remarry, I can have another child legally without paying the fine!"
"No!" The woman cried bitterly, and the child was trembling with fear and huddled aside.
Han Li became furious when she heard this. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her chest, took a few deep breaths, and got up to leave. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have rushed up to seek justice for the poor woman. Now that she was pregnant, she had concerns and didn't dare to act impulsively like before.
Li Meiling had been following her from behind. Seeing that she was alone here, she sneered, and finally gave her an opportunity. Li Meiling caught up with her with a knife in her hand. Han Li realized something was wrong, turned around, her pupils constricted, and turned and ran.
Li Meiling chased after her. Han Li ran to crowded places. Many people were exercising by the lake in the park. Han Li ran and shouted,
"Help! Someone's killing me! Help!"
A middle-aged man who was a criminal police officer heard the noise and ran over. Han Li hid behind the man. Li Meiling raised a knife to stab her. The man subdued her in two or three moves. Another man snatched the knife from Li Meiling's hand. Someone ran to the phone booth to call the police.
Han Li felt stomachache and squatted down holding her stomach. Kind people in the park helped send her to the hospital. Zhou Zhichuan rushed over quickly after receiving the news.
Han Li hugged him tightly with grievance, "Zhichuan."
"Don't be afraid! I'm here."
Zhou Zhichuan patted her back and comforted her. Hearing that it was Li Meiling who did it, Zhou Zhichuan asked a lawyer to aggravate Li Meiling's crime and sentenced her to 20 years in prison for intentional homicide. Li Meiling was already 25 years old. When she was released from prison, she would be in her 40s and would spend most of her life in prison.
Zhou Zhichuan was very surprised when he heard the doctor say Han Li was pregnant. He hugged Han Li and kissed her non-stop.
"Wife, you are pregnant, I am going to be a father!"
Han Li thought of the scene she saw in the park and asked him,
"If I give birth to a daughter, will you divorce me and remarry?"
"No!" Zhou Zhichuan hugged her and comforted her, "Why would you think that? Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all our children. I love them all. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Han Li felt relieved. "That's good. Let me tell you, if you give birth to a daughter, you must treat her twice as well and make her the happiest daughter."
"Of course." Zhou Zhichuan held her in his arms and sighed. "Ali, from now on, you have to tell me everything that's on your mind. Don't let your imagination run wild. Let's solve any problems together."
"Okay." Han Li touched the baby in her belly and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
Zhou Zhichuan called his family to tell them that Han Li was pregnant. Old Man Zhou and his father and mother were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Mother Zhou stewed a pot of chicken soup and sent it to Han Li, telling her to take good care of herself.
Three months later, Han Li's belly grew as big as a balloon, which scared Zhou Zhichuan a lot.
"Would a normal pregnancy be this big in three months?"
Han Li didn't understand either. Mother Zhou looked at her belly and said:
"Lili might be pregnant with twins."
"Twins!" The couple was shocked. Zhou Zhichuan was panicked and at a loss. "Is it safe to have twins? Is there any danger?"
Zhou's mother said, "Don't scare yourself. Let's go to the hospital and have a checkup. We'll listen to the doctor and make sure Lili gives birth safely."
Zhou's mother accompanied the young couple to a big hospital for a check-up. After getting off the car, Zhou Zhichuan and his mother each supported Han Li. Zhou Zhichuan went to register, and Zhou's mother accompanied Han Li to sit on a long bench and wait.
After a while, it was Han Li's turn to be examined. Zhou Zhichuan accompanied her in for the examination. After the examination, the obstetrician took a look at the list.
"Your wife is pregnant with twins, she's thirteen weeks pregnant. The babies are growing well, nothing's wrong. Go home and take good care of them. When their bellies get bigger, you need to check them frequently to prevent any accidents."
"Thank you, doctor!" Zhou Zhichuan helped Han Li out with the prescription. When Zhou's mother heard that it was really twins, she was so excited that she was incoherent.
"Great! Twins, preferably a boy and a girl, perfect match!"
Zhou Zhichuan said, "Mom, whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all my children. Whether it's two sons or two daughters, I like them all."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mother Zhou glanced at Han Li, afraid that she would be unhappy, and added, "Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, we like them all."
Han Li smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also looking forward to having a son and a daughter. I need a beginning!"
Zhou's mother took Han Li back to the old house to take care of her. Zhou Zhichuan often went to work and was unable to take care of Han Li. With a nanny at home and Zhou's mother around, Zhou Zhichuan could go to work without worry.
Han Li lived very comfortably in the Zhou family's old house. After breakfast in the morning, Zhou's mother would peel an apple for her, take a nap at noon, eat a banana in the afternoon, and Zhou's mother would accompany her for a walk in the yard. In the evening, Zhou Zhichuan would rush back to accompany her.
After six months of anxiety, Han Li was about to give birth. Zhou Zhichuan and his mother took Han Li to the hospital three days in advance, and the nanny also accompanied them. At 12:08 in the evening, Han Li gave birth to a son and a daughter by caesarean section. Zhou Zhichuan stayed up all night to watch over Han Li.
Zhou's mother and the nanny took care of the two children. Han Li woke up at three in the morning. Zhou Zhichuan held her face and kissed her.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work."
Han Li curled her lips and smiled, "Am I really awesome?"
Zhou Zhichuan gently straightened her hair.
"Yes! You are very capable and brave. I admire you very much. Wife, I love you."
