Chapter 285 You are destined to be childless. Give up.
Yao Zhizhi took a rest today and slept in until after eight o'clock.
The alley was noisy and she didn't know what was going on. After brushing her teeth and drinking a bowl of porridge, she went out for a walk and found that it was the Chu family who was arguing.
Chu's father thought that since Chu Lingyi was married, there was no need for her to live in her parents' home anymore. He wanted Chu Lingze and his family of three to move back with his eldest aunt.
Firstly, I can save some rent, and secondly, the yard in the alley is spacious, so when my grandson grows up a little, he can have fun there.
Besides, how can a married daughter occupy her parents' house and not let her brother's family live there?
So he wrote in the new separation agreement that Chu's mother should move to the staff dormitory of the non-staple food factory, so that Chu's mother and Zhang's mother could keep each other company, and the child would not have to be separated from his biological mother.
This was a win-win situation for everyone, but Chu Lingyi was unhappy about it. She felt that she had suffered a loss.
After all, her father who made money gave it to her eldest brother, and her mother who didn't make money gave it to her. What's more, her mother was in poor health and needed to take medicine.
So she came back early in the morning to make a fuss, and the whole alley was packed with people who were all watching the fun.
The police station received a call and was given a headache when they heard that it was Chu Lingyi who was making trouble again.
Xiao Jin was speechless and asked, "Captain, if I take someone there, can I just leave their family's affairs alone and just maintain law and order?"
"As long as there's no fighting, you can handle the rest." Tang Fengyuan didn't have time to deal with this matter. She still had to go to the Public Security Bureau for a meeting.
Every summer vacation, many children fall into the water and drown. The police stations in each jurisdiction have the obligation to publicize and remind parents. They also need to convey the spirit of relevant documents to the public security commissioners of the lower communes. They have no time to care about the Chu family's trivial matters.
Xiao Jin was too lazy to care. Let them quarrel as they pleased. She had never seen a daughter like this. She wanted to take advantage of her parents' family and would not let go of the benefits of her husband's family.
She has already been assigned a biological mother to take care of the child, what else does she want?
If it were any other brother and sister-in-law, they would definitely not even let their own mother go. What's more, her sister-in-law had just given birth to a child and was in need of help. If she was still making a fuss at this time, it meant that she really didn't want to recognize her eldest brother. How heartbreaking.
So he went with Lao He, just to watch the show, not to stop the fight. When he saw Chu Lingyi about to fight, he stopped her to avoid a bad ending.
Yao Zhizhi was just watching from the outside, not wanting to get involved. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaorui was sharp-eyed and saw her. She quickly grabbed the child and got out of the crowd, calling out, "Editor-in-Chief Yao, I haven't had time to give you the red egg yet. Can you come home later?"
"Yes." Yao Zhizhi turned around and glanced at the child in Li Xiaorui's arms. The child was white and chubby, with bright eyes. He was so cute. She couldn't help but smile, "This child looks like you. Have you given him a name yet?"
"I chose it. I originally wanted to call him Chu Hongxing, but your boy is already called Xingxing. Then there would be two stars in the alley and we wouldn't know who to call. So we changed it to Chu Xu." Li Xiaorui became a mother, and her face was filled with the glow of maternity.
Yao Zhizhi felt a little sad. If Li Man were still alive, she would be so happy to see such a lovely grandson.
It was fate that made Li Man's beloved eldest daughter act crazy and stupid, leaving her younger sister, who was in confinement, to take care of her, while the youngest daughter faked her death and escaped, her whereabouts unknown. On the contrary, the middle daughter, who seemed to have no sense of existence, lived the most down-to-earth life.
She whispered, "It's summer, the sun is so strong, don't let the child get sunburned. If it really doesn't work, let your eldest sister go crazy again and tell Chu Lingyi to get out."
Li Xiaorui thought about it and thought it was okay. After all, her sister was addicted to pretending to be crazy, and the police station couldn't do anything about it. So she replied, "Okay, I'll tell my sister."
"Remember to stand farther away while holding the child, so as not to hurt the child by accident." Yao Zhizhi couldn't bear it, so she gave Li Xiaorui an idea.
Li Xiaorui smiled and grabbed her son's little paw, waving to Yao Zhizhi: "Don't worry, come, Xiaoxu, say goodbye to your aunt."
Chu Xu couldn't speak, but he was quite supportive. He actually let out a cry while lying in his mother's arms to join in the fun.
Yao Zhizhi watched the mother and son leave with a smile, thinking that there really was going to be a baby boom this year. Everyone around her was either pregnant or had just given birth. There were new babies being added everywhere, and it was really lively.
Soon, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling could be heard in the alley, and Chu Lingyi was scared away by the crazy woman.
Yao Zhizhi thought about it and decided to call Director Zhang. "Take care of your wife. Isn't their plan to split up the family business a good one? You're short of people to take care of the children, and her brother's finances are tight. He has to raise both the children and a lunatic. If you don't take care of it, be careful someone will report it to Director Yuan, and you might even lose your position as director."
Factory Manager Zhang was startled and quickly asked what was going on. He finally clarified, "I really don't know anything about this. I thought she went to work. Thank you. I'll come and take care of it right away."
"Well, try to persuade her. Her brother has had a hard time too. How can a sister kick her brother out to live with her? Before she got married, she could barely cover it up by saying it was a sibling conflict. Now that she's married, she's still so arrogant and domineering. That's because you, as a son-in-law, are incompetent. If you can't even take care of your own family, how can Director Yuan let you manage such a big factory? Think about it carefully." Yao Zhizhi tried her best. She hated Director Zhang very much.
There is a kind of people in this world who are as hateful as those who do evil, and that is stupid people.
They will be led astray by the evil people around them, lose the ability to think independently, and even become invisible accomplices.
Evil that is done openly can be prevented, but this kind of stupidity done behind the scenes is impossible to guard against.
What's more, Director Zhang has suffered losses twice in matters related to his wife. If he doesn't use his brain, no one can save him.
Soon, Director Zhang rushed over and apologized to Chu Lingze and his wife. He also gave red envelopes, monk clothes, diapers and other things to the child, and gave his father-in-law two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine.
After finishing his arrangements, he asked, "Dad, where's Lingyi?"
"She ran away. I don't know where she hid." Father Chu is now obsessed with enjoying his grandchildren and he no longer wants to care about this restless daughter.
Director Zhang had no choice but to ride his bike and shout and search everywhere in the middle of the day.
Finally, in a small alley, I saw Chu Lingyi squatting on the ground with her knees hugged and in a daze.
He parked the car, walked over and pulled her up: "What's wrong? Were you scared by that lunatic? Tell me, why bother? We're both working, with a decent income. My dad has a pension, and our two moms, one taking care of my dad and the other taking care of the kids, can even help with the cleaning. Isn't that good? Let's go, ah, stop fighting with your brother. If it really gets to the point where I lose my job, it's not worth it."
Chu Lingyi looked at him blankly: "I don't understand. My dad used to love me so much, why did he change after having a grandson? No, I want to take my son over and let him take care of him!"
"Stop it!" Director Zhang was speechless. "Don't cause trouble for your brother. I don't object to you taking the child. Just let my mother-in-law take care of him. That's it."
Chu Lingyi wanted to say something else, but Director Zhang had to warn her: "I already have a disciplinary action. If you are tired of your good life and want to find some unhappiness, then divorce me. I don't mind this becoming my third marriage, but I can't lose my job."
Chu Lingyi calmed down now. She didn't want to lose the title of factory director's wife, so she still had the prestige she had now.
He could only jump on the back of the bicycle indignantly, muttering all the way: "Let's have a child too and give it to my dad to take care of. By then, my nephew will be weaned. That should be all right, right?"
"Sure, if you have another child, he will be his grandson, and he will definitely be happy." Director Zhang knew clearly that his father-in-law didn't like him and Lu Yuan's son, and it was not targeting him.
With his conditions, he can afford to raise two or three more children. Let him have them. After all, they are not his children and he will not be the one who feels the pain. At the same time, his eldest son will have a companion, which is good.
The only flaw is his father's health. Sigh. He should have secretly consulted a Taoist priest sometime. He fell ill for no apparent reason. I hope he didn't get infected with something foul.
A few days later, he asked someone to find out about an apprentice of the old Taoist priest Niubizi. The man's surname was Qu, and he boiled water for people in the bathhouse. He was very idle in the summer and was only busy in spring, autumn and winter.
In exchange for two bottles of wine, he received a piece of talisman paper, which he brought back and secretly burned. He then mixed the ashes into rice soup and fed it to his father.
It was amazing that within a week, his father recovered.
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seemed that what Xiao Qu said was right. It was his and Lu Yuan's second child who came to collect the debt.
Fortunately, he took the risk and found Xiao Qu, otherwise his father would have died in two months.
When Lao Zhang recovered from his illness, he still asked, "Dad, was it you who killed my second child?"
Old Zhang ignored him and urged, "While your second-married wife is still young, hurry up and have more children. Your mother and I can help you take care of them."
Director Zhang didn't ask any more questions; he already knew what was going on. Hey, his father was doing this for his own good. Never mind, he'd just pretend he didn't know about it from now on.

In August, Xiao Wei and Zhou Juan gave birth to a son one after another. Together with Ye Zheng who gave birth to a daughter last month, three female comrades in the publishing house are on maternity leave. This has made it difficult for other employees. Fortunately, Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao do not need to go out for business recently, so some work can be allocated to them.
In September, Yao Ningning gave birth to a boy. This made Fan's mother very happy. She boasted to everyone that she was lucky enough to have two grandsons in one go.
When Cao Guangyuan took Ma Xiangqin to the hospital for a postpartum check-up, he happened to meet Yao Taotao and others picking up Yao Ningning from the hospital.
When he saw the boy in Yao Ningning's arms and then looked at the daughter in Ma Xiangqin's arms, his eyes turned red with envy.
When he came out, he met Kong Badou, who was supporting his remarried wife. When they met as acquaintances, the first thing he saw was the child in the other's wife's arms.
"You also have a daughter." Kong Badou felt mentally balanced. He had worked so hard for so long, and although he finally had a child with his surname, he was still a little disappointed that it was not a son. Fortunately, Cao Guangyuan was as unlucky as him.
While your own misfortune is annoying, the misfortune of others is cause for celebration.
He comforted her hypocritically, "You're younger than me. Don't be discouraged. Try again. You'll get better."
Cao Guangyuan could only smile bitterly and try harder. His mother's health was getting worse and worse. He had to hurry up and give birth to a grandson while his mother was still breathing to make her happy.
After the beginning of winter, Ma Xiangqin became pregnant again. When he took Ma Xiangqin to a prenatal check-up, he met Kong Badou again.
The two couples looked at each other and exchanged their due dates. They were both next summer, what a coincidence.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Cao Guangyuan stroked Ma Xiangqin's belly, hoping for a miracle to happen.
In the midsummer of the following year, Chu Lingyi gave birth to a daughter. Director Zhang didn't care whether it was a girl or a girl. He took two days off and busied himself in the ward taking care of the daughter.
But Chu Lingyi herself was unhappy. She had to try to have a son. Otherwise, all the benefits in the family would belong to Lu Yuan's son, and she, the daughter, would probably suffer.
Just as they were getting angry, Cao Guangyuan and Kong Badou helped their wives to the hospital to give birth.
The four-person ward suddenly seemed crowded.
Ma Xiangqin's hospital bed was right next to Chu Lingyi's. She was certain that she was pregnant with a son this time, and she still took advantage of her pregnancy to eat herself fat, hoping to give birth to a big fat boy to show off.
She walked over and glanced at the daughter in Chu Lingyi's arms, and said proudly, "I was wondering why the ward was so quiet. I couldn't even hear the baby crying. It turns out it's a girl. She's so quiet. But when I give birth, it will be lively again."
Kong Badou's wife didn't say anything, just lay there quietly, waiting for the engine to start.
That night, one of the two women was unable to deliver the fetus because it was too big, so she had to use forceps to force the baby out. Unfortunately, it was too late. The fetus had suffocated in the birth canal for too long and was dead when it came out.
Another baby had the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck and died in the womb, and was unable to come into this world.
Both of them were born sons, which made Cao Guangyuan and Kong Badou so angry that they smoked outside the hospital all night.
The next morning, Xiao Qu from the bathhouse came to visit a friend. When he passed by, he saw these two unlucky men and couldn't help but curl his lips.
After he walked a few steps away, Kong Badou recognized him and quickly pulled Cao Guangyuan to chase after him.
The two men dragged Xiao Qu to a secluded path outside the hospital, each gave him some gifts, and asked him to secretly help calculate.
Finally, Xiao Qu looked at Cao Guangyuan and said regretfully, "You are destined to be childless. Give up."
Then he looked at Kong Badou and said with disdain: "You, your first marriage ended with a broken wife and children, and your second marriage also has no sons. Just give up."
What?
The two men who missed their son so much couldn't stand this humiliation, so they pulled Xiao Qu and made a lot of noise, wanting to go to the police station to report Xiao Qu for promoting feudal superstition.
