Lu Ting knew his wife had misunderstood and quickly explained, "Lanlan is too young to get a marriage certificate right now. They might hold a wedding banquet first and have the baby, then get the certificate when they're older."
"Oh, Lu Yilan gave birth to a daughter, and the man doesn't want her anymore. What should he do if he marries someone else? Your father and his family are so stupid. If the people in the compound knew about this, Lu Yilan would ruin the reputation of the Lu family girl."
Lu Yilan must be stupid to think of having a child out of wedlock. It's true that in the past some people were considered married by holding a wedding banquet without a marriage certificate, but what era is it now? Family planning is so strictly enforced. If the aunties in the neighborhood committee knew that you were pregnant without a marriage certificate, they would come to your house every day.
It doesn't matter that she is being pursued by someone. People from the entire military region have come to watch the Lu family make a fool of themselves, and her daughter will definitely be affected.
"Lu Yilan, I definitely can't persuade her. I'll take some time tomorrow to go back and persuade my dad. Yanyan, when are you going back?"
"Why do you ask that?"
She has no plans to go back during this period. In a couple of days, she plans to take the children to Lihua Village to see the flower seedlings.
Lu Ting hugged Su Yan and coaxed her softly, "Wherever Yanyan is, I'll be there, so that I won't end up in the wrong place if you go back. Yanyan, don't be angry. I can't sleep well all night if you're angry."
Su Yan snorted coldly and pushed Lu Ting away, "You and Dad will stay on the first floor tonight."
Lu Ting looked at Su Yan with resentment, but he was helpless. His wife was still angry with him and he didn't know when she would forgive him.
In order to avoid Lu Ting's pestering, Su Yan slept with Lu Yiru that night.
The next day, Lu Ting returned to the military area and heard that his parents did not return to the city last night and went straight home for lunch after work at noon.
When Hua Min saw her son coming back for dinner, she hurriedly took a few eggs from the room to make another egg drop soup.
Lu Fengnian asked, "You went to Xiahe Village last night. How is the construction of your father-in-law's house going?"
“It’s all built.”
"Your wife is a capable person. She made money to build an ancestral house for the Lu family and also for the Su family."
"My wife is very capable, even though she doesn't talk much. You have so many daughters-in-law, but who is as filial and sensible as her?"
The reason why Su Yan built ancestral houses for the two families was to leave a "place" for the parents of both families so that they would have a place to be buried when they grow old.
Whether it is Su Qingshan or Lu Fengnian, if they have no land or ancestral house in their hometown, even if they grow old, the villagers in their hometown will not let them be buried there. After all, they have been away from their hometown for decades, and they can only be buried in the cemetery at that time.
Their parents are buried in the ancestral mountain of their hometown, so they naturally hope to be buried in the ancestral mountain in the future.
The second reason is that she rented so much land in the countryside for planting, so she naturally needed a place to stay.
"Your wife is fine now. You two are not arguing anymore, right?"
"No quarrel."
His wife did not quarrel with him, but just used cold violence and ignored him. He has been a monk for more than 20 days and he doesn't know when he will be released.
"Dad, you two should reconsider Lu Yilan's child. I advise her to abort the child. Having a child out of wedlock will not only ruin her reputation, but also the reputation of all of us in the Lu family."
"The child knew she was pregnant and was reluctant to abort the baby, saying it would harm her body and could even cost her life."
"If she doesn't abort the baby, how will the neighborhood committee and the family planning office handle it? If they knew Lu Yilan was pregnant, they would definitely force her to have an abortion. You'd better make plans early!"
"Your mother plans to take Lanlan back to her hometown and come back after the baby is born."
"Dad, you are so confused! Isn't there a women's director in your hometown? If they find out that Lu Yilan is pregnant, how will you live in the village in the future?
Aren't you worried that this will affect Lu Jin's job? If Lu Jin gets laid off, it's perfect. He might as well stop being a doctor and just sell breakfast with his wife.
Dad, you can't affect the future of everyone in the Lu family just for your granddaughter."
Lu Fengnian pondered for a moment and felt a headache. It seemed that this matter was really difficult to handle. Those people in the family planning office did not care about other people's face.
As long as it is an illegal birth, no matter whose child it is, once caught, you will be taken to the hospital for an induced abortion.
Lu Ting left after lunch. Lu Fengnian discussed with Hua Min, "Xiao Min, let's go and persuade Lan Lan!"
"That child won't listen!"
"Why not ask Lu Jin to find a doctor to prescribe abortion pills for her?"
"Old man, what if something unexpected happens?"
"Let's go to Hebei to find Sun Minghao first. That brat actually dared to touch my granddaughter. It's time to teach him a lesson. Lanlan beat the child, so there's no need to hold a wedding banquet."
"What if Lanlan resents us?"
"Let her feel resentful. If she is sensible, she won't let herself get hurt."
Thinking of this, Lu Fengnian didn't even take a nap at noon. Instead, he dragged Hua Min to the military hospital.
Since Lu Yilan found out she was pregnant, she hasn't gone anywhere. She just lies in bed all day and even has to ask her sister to bring her meals to her bedside.
Chen Yuhe was also speechless. Lu Yilan was so young and had a child without getting married, and she was not afraid of being laughed at.
I don’t know what her parents-in-law were thinking, that they actually agreed to let her give birth to the child.
After delivering the meal to Lu Yilan, Lu Yiman returned to the kitchen and walked to Chen Yuhe and asked softly, "Mom, is my sister really pregnant?"
"Manman, please don't tell anyone else about this."
"Well, I won't say anything. If people outside the compound knew that my sister had a child before getting married, they would definitely not come to our house to buy breakfast. Mom, when will grandpa and grandma take my sister away?"
"When your dad gets his leave, they might take you all to Hebei to discuss the wedding. Don't get involved in this matter. You mustn't learn to be so self-deprecating! If you learn from your elder sister, I won't prepare a dowry for you when you get married."
"I understand. I'm going to take the college entrance exam and then find a partner after I start working. I don't need Mom to prepare a dowry then. I will save it myself. Mom, please save more money for my sister's dowry. She's not smart enough and probably won't be able to get into college."
"How can you say your sister is stupid? She's not stupid, she's just not focused on her studies. Your sister is very clever and can make dumplings better than you do. She can also knit scarves and gloves for herself."
Although Chen Yuhe was somewhat patriarchal when she was young, as her children grew up, she not only took special care of her sons, but also treated her daughters well.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Qianqian, look who's coming, go open the door."
Lu Yiqian ran to open the door, and when she saw her grandparents, she shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, grandpa and grandma are here."
Chen Yuhe took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen, "Dad, Mom, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. Where's Lanlan?"
"She's probably sitting on the bed eating right now."
Hua Min was stunned. What happened to the child? Why didn’t he leave the room even when eating?
"Qianqian, go call your eldest sister out and tell her that grandpa and grandma want to talk to her."
