Chapter 104
There are no formal procedures and it is not recognized by law. When the child grows up, he or she will have no obligation to support the adoptive parents.
"It's just the same old thing in the countryside. It's nominal adoption, and they say it sounds good to others, like there will be a son to carry on the family line. Who would agree to such a ridiculous thing? But her husband is like a lunatic, insisting that his nephew is at least related to him by blood, and is better than a stranger's child. He knows his family inside and out. He's been trying to convince Teacher Qian these days."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but worry about Teacher Qian silently.
"Teacher Li, if Teacher Qian asks for your opinion, I hope you can persuade her more."
"Don't worry. If I was hesitant at first because I was afraid of breaking up someone's marriage, I'm not worried at all now. If Teacher Qian's husband still dares to act like a troublemaker and covet Teacher Qian's family's money, I will encourage her to divorce him. I've finally seen clearly that her husband is not a good person either."
…
Teacher Li was very proactive. After receiving part of the money, he quickly issued a clarification on behalf of Wen Heqing, and then submitted the collected evidence to a lawyer, intending to divorce as soon as possible and use this as a reason to fight for custody of the child.
On the other hand, Wen Heqing, at Teacher Li's request, did not completely fall out with the scumbag Meng Dong. She planned to help Teacher Li stabilize him first, and then completely break up with him after Teacher Li got divorced.
Otherwise the scumbag will feel that everything is lost and refuse to divorce Teacher Li.
As for the baby in her belly, she was very open-minded and took things one step at a time. She would do the amniocentesis first. If the result was good, she would do it later. If the result was not good, she would not have any psychological burden to abort the baby.
In short, she will give the child a chance, after all, it is her child.
…
This year Valentine's Day falls on a Friday.
When Jiang Zhinian woke up early in the morning, he secretly touched under his pillow, but found nothing.
She pretended to get up and go to the bathroom, and walked around the living room. She didn't see any gifts or roses. Everything was no different from the past.
Did he hide it, or...forgot it?
Or maybe Shi Ye actually doesn't like celebrating this kind of foreign festival?
Jiang Zhinian wasn't too disappointed. He scratched his head and prepared to go to the kitchen to heat up some oatmeal with milk and cook two steamed eggs.
"Why are you up so early?" When she turned her back to the kitchen, a pair of big hands hugged her waist and rested his head on her shoulder affectionately.
"If you can't sleep, get up. If you haven't slept enough, go take another nap. I'll call you later."
Shi Ye came back very late yesterday. He must have had some major surgery.
"Did the hospital encounter any emergency surgery yesterday?"
"There is a patient with gestational hypertension-related heart disease and preeclampsia."
Jiang Zhinian knew that some people would develop gestational hypertension after pregnancy, but this was the first time she had heard of a case as serious as eclampsia.
"Is it dangerous?"
"It's very dangerous. In fact, Director Zhao from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department had clearly explained her condition beforehand. She wasn't suitable for pregnancy, but this patient... took a gamble and managed to get pregnant. She was relatively stable for the first few months, but after 20 weeks, her condition worsened. During her prenatal checkup yesterday, she fainted and had convulsions. Director Zhao requested a joint consultation."
In fact, there are all kinds of patients in the hospital. You talk to them about risks, and they talk to you about probabilities. Some people, after becoming survivors by chance, publicize their stories around them or on the Internet, encouraging people around them who have the same problems as them to take risks and gamble on probabilities.
This patient with preeclampsia heard somewhere about the stories of many patients with eclampsia who took the risk of becoming pregnant and successfully gave birth to babies, so she had to give it a try.
But she didn't know that the consequences of trying would be tragic and not worth it. During the rescue last night, the best option was actually to terminate the pregnancy immediately. As a result, the mother refused to agree to a cesarean section of the baby who was only 20 weeks old, and finally had to be sent to the ICU for medication control.
But the patient will never understand that there is a time bomb in her body that no one can predict when it will explode.
Shi Ye gently touched Jiang Zhinian's abdomen: "Promise me that you will never disregard your own life and death for the sake of having a child."
Jiang Zhinian put his hand on the back of Shi Ye's hand: "Don't worry, if it were me, I would definitely not be so selfish..."
As a mother, she could understand the woman's reluctance to give up her child, but... as someone else's daughter and wife, could she bear to see the person who loved her sad because of her death?
What seems to be selfless and disregards one's own life and death is actually a kind of selfishness.
Just assume that she is timid and cowardly. She doesn't want to risk losing Shi Ye forever by getting pregnant, nor does she want Shi Ye to live in pain alone because of giving birth.
Giving up a child is cruel, but isn’t it also cruel to make the one you love suffer?
"Shi Ye, in my case, will I develop gestational hypertension?"
"You're not at high risk for gestational hypertension, so don't worry about it." Shi Ye didn't want to dwell on this topic any further. "Did Liu Shuo pick you up on time yesterday?"
"He's quite punctual, but..." Jiang Zhinian thought of that overly pale face and the man's messy hair, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that it's still quite difficult to get him to go out."
If it weren't for Shi Ye's face, he might not leave the house for ten days or half a month.
Aunt Zhou and Uncle Liu were worried about this, but it was no use. He wouldn't listen to anything they said. Only Shi Ye would let him occasionally show his head and bask in the sun.
"It's a good opportunity for him to get some sun and supplement his vitamin D3. Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou will also be very happy."
Breakfast was ready, and Shi Ye brought the plate to the dining table.
The two sat down face to face. Jiang Zhinian lowered his head and began to wonder whether he should subtly remind Shi Ye of today.
Although she doesn't need to rely on these to prove anything, adding some rituals to life will probably be better for the relationship between husband and wife.
When we grow old, we can leave some beautiful memories with each other.
"Shi Ye, what kind of flowers do you like? Ah, I was thinking, maybe I can buy some flowers to decorate the house."
"It's all right. You decide."
"So, how about roses?"
Shi Ye paused holding the spoon and looked up at Jiang Zhinian.
Jiang Zhinian's heart skipped a beat... Did she remember something? She stared at Shi Ye's lips expectantly—
All I heard him say was, "Just don't buy the dyed ones."
Jiang Zhinian:......
Okay, my hint was too subtle, so it’s normal that Shi Ye didn’t understand.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "By the way, do you like chocolate? I saw a delicious chocolate brand having a promotion. It's a great deal. Do you want to buy some?"
Shi Ye picked up his phone and took a look, then casually said, "Buy some if you want to eat, but be careful to eat in moderation. Chocolate is not only high in sugar, but also contains caffeine, which pregnant women need to control their intake."
