If this were an ordinary man, he might have agreed without hesitation if the reason was to continue the family line, but Jin Zichu is not an ordinary man, he is not even a "human being".
"Mom, I understand what you said, but for me, continuing the family line is not a must. Manman will always be the most important person in my heart. No matter what, I will definitely take good care of Manman."
Looking at her son-in-law who was respectful but not giving in at all, Chen Meiyu's tone became heavier, "I can't be at ease! What's the point of being nice to her? My daughter lost her right to be a mother by marrying you. You've ruined her whole life! Isn't it your duty to be nice to her?"
But even if you are husband and wife, you can't be with her forever. What if you die before her? How will she live in the future?"
Not only Xu Manman, but even Li Fang was shocked when they heard this. Did Chen Meiyu have a grudge against Jin Zichu?
Even though Jin Zichu wasn't human, Xu Manman couldn't bear to see him hurt like this, so she stepped forward to take the blame, "Mom! I wasn't the one who gave birth, it's Zichu who was delayed."
Chen Meiyu looked at her daughter in disbelief. "You? How...how is that possible?"
If you tell a lie, you have to tell a hundred lies to cover it up. Xu Manman pursed her lips and said, "I went to Hong Kong to see a foreign doctor for a checkup. It was my problem. Zichu only told you that to protect my reputation."
Chen Meiyu didn't know how to react for a moment. When she first found out that her son-in-law was infertile, she wanted her daughter to divorce immediately. Later, Jin Zichu knelt down and begged in front of them. Moreover, her son-in-law had taken better care of them than her own son over the years, and she had also seen how the couple got along over the years.
People are all made of flesh and blood, and she could no longer bring herself to say anything that would separate them, for fear that her daughter would then feel even worse.
But the issue of offspring has always weighed on her mind. Whenever she thinks of it, she feels heartbroken for her daughter, which gradually turns into resentment towards her son-in-law.
But now my daughter says that she is the one who can’t have children, so what has she been doing all these years... ?
After hearing what she had said before, Chen Meiyu didn't know how to face her son-in-law for a moment and didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Fang wanted to struggle a little longer. "Could it be that the foreign doctor made a mistake? Instruments can make mistakes sometimes. Why don't we try Chinese medicine? Maybe there's a solution."
"I've checked them all." Xu Manman was not afraid that they would take her out for examination. As long as Jin Zichu did something to her, no matter whether it was Chinese or Western medicine, the examination would show symptoms of infertility.
With such a huge impact, no one mentioned adopting a child for a while.
After the two of them sent their elders back and returned to their own home and closed the door, Xu Manman breathed a sigh of relief and nestled in Jin Zichu's arms, "Jin, it's been hard for you these years."
Judging from her mother's attitude today, it is clear that life as a son-in-law for Jin Zichu has been a bit difficult over the years, and it is definitely not as harmonious as it appears on the surface.
In the final analysis, it was all her own selfishness. She didn't want to have children and didn't want any trouble, so she used so-called white lies to fool her family again and again.
Jin Zichu hugged his wife and said, "Xiao Jin is fine." What he was more worried about was that Manman's words today would inevitably cause people to criticize him in the future. He couldn't stand anyone saying bad things about his wife.
Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Xu Manman really didn't want to have children. "Please prepare the medical records for me later. If my family asks about it next time, just show them directly."
"good."
But Xu Manman still underestimated how obsessed the elders are with continuing the family line.
Especially after Chen Meiyu found out that her daughter was infertile, her heartache turned into panic.
Jin Zichu treats his daughter well now because she is still young and their feelings are still there, but how long can love last? He can say that he doesn't want children now, but if he changes his mind one day and wants to have children, what will happen to his poor daughter?
It was not until Xu Manman returned home on the weekend that she found out what her mother had been busy with.
"I've asked the Women's Federation, and in your case, if you let your brother have another child and then adopt him, it would be against the rules.
But I asked the orphanage, and they say you two are now eligible for adoption. You don't have any children, but the policy allows you to adopt two. If you have a son and a daughter, wouldn't that make a perfect couple?"
Xu Manman was unmoved. "Mom, we've already said we don't want children, and there's no need to adopt. Zichu and I have donated a lot of money to the welfare home over the years, which is enough for those children to grow up well. There's no need to bring them home and treat them differently."
