Chapter 149 Raising Children to Provide for Old Age
When Gu Xizhou returned, the quarrel in the Ying family had ended.
But the Liu family is very lively.
Uncle Liu waved the cane in his hand and wanted to teach his nephew Liu Daneng a lesson.
"I don't want to live here anymore. I want to go home."
Liu Daneng dodged flexibly with a smile on his face, "Grandpa, isn't this your home? Where else do you want to go?"
Uncle Liu was old, and just from this action, he was breathing heavily, leaning on his cane, with an angry look on his face, "I'm talking about my own house, the one occupied by your family."
Seeing this, the smile on Liu Daneng's face froze instantly. Although he quickly regained his smile, his eyes were full of impatience. "Grandpa, stay here for a while longer, and I will send you home."
Ever since Su Nanzhi's last words, whether explicit or implicit, Uncle Liu has been treating his distant nephew with disdain. Now, when he heard his words, he was completely furious.
"That's my house. I want to go back now, and you all have to get out of here."
After being scolded, Liu Daneng completely lost his good mood.
"You old fool, if you don't stay here peacefully, be careful that when you get old, I won't collect your body."
Uncle Liu didn't expect that Liu Daneng would suddenly turn against him. Although he wanted to leave, he didn't insist on going home as long as Liu Daneng said a few nice words.
“You…you…”
Uncle Liu covered his chest with one hand and raised his crutch with the other, about to swing at Liu Daneng again.
Liu Daneng pushed Uncle Liu away and said, "I... what about me? You never raised me, and I'm willing to see you to the end. Just be happy about it, don't be shameless..."
Halfway through his words, he met Gu Xizhou's gloomy face, trembled, glared at Uncle Liu, and ran away in a hurry.
Seeing that Uncle Liu had recovered his breath, Gu Xizhou finally let go of the hand that was supporting him.
Uncle Liu was already in tears at this moment, and he didn't care that the person who was supporting him was Gu Xizhou, the most frightened person in the yard.
"When you get old, you're useless and anyone can bully you."
Gu Xizhou frowned slightly. Although Uncle Liu looked extremely pitiful at the moment, when he thought about the reason why Uncle Liu moved into the Su family's old house, the little sympathy in his heart completely disappeared.
Bad people will be punished by other bad people.
Thinking of this, he turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped by Uncle Liu.
"Xiao Lin, can I call you Xiao Lin?" Without waiting for Gu Xizhou's response, Uncle Liu continued to talk to himself: "Although you look fierce, you are not a bad person. You should get married as soon as possible while you are still young and give birth to a big fat boy."
"Otherwise, what will you do with me in the future?"
"It's really not okay to not have my own children."
Gu Xizhou didn't want to pay attention to Mr. Liu at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but stop.
After saying what he wanted to say, Uncle Liu walked towards his room tremblingly.
As he walked, he kept repeating how important it was to have a child of his own.
Gu Xizhou didn't know how he got back to the room.
Naturally, he didn't believe Uncle Liu's theory of raising children to provide for one's old age, but what if?
For his own selfish desires, he was going to let Su Nanzhi and himself gamble on a future of being helpless in old age?
He and Su Nanzhi are indeed not suitable for each other, and he is not worthy of Su Nanzhi.
Su Nanzhi was lying on the bed, so she naturally heard the noise outside the yard.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc.
In her previous life, she did have a son, but in the end, he was killed by the son she raised with great effort.
Raising children to provide for old age is a joke to her.
And Gu Xizhou didn't even dare to ask her if she would mind having children in the future...
Su Nanzhi slowly closed her eyes, not allowing herself to think any more.
***
Unlike Su Nanzhi, Qin Lie sat on a stool in the family compound, looking at Zhao Xue who was kneeling in front of him with a grim face.
Zhao Xue covered her swollen face, looked at Qin Lie with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Lie, you misunderstood."
She originally thought that Qin Lie was the best person she could find after losing Zhou Qiang.
But since marrying Qin Lie, she knew what hell was like.
Qin Lie ignored her during the day, but at night he would transform into a devil and vent all his anger about being demoted on her.
She just wants to divorce Qin Lie now.
However, having enjoyed the benefits of a military marriage, she naturally knew how difficult it was to divorce a military marriage, unless Qin Lie agreed.
"Do you remember when we borrowed money from Heige?"
Hearing this name, Qin Lie's face immediately turned ugly.
If he hadn't been unlucky enough to be demoted, he would have never had anything to do with a social cancer like Heige.
Seeing Qin Lie's contemptuous look, Zhao Xue cursed him for being hypocritical in her heart, but she still said with a flattering expression: "I don't want to care about Brother Hei either, but he threatened me that if I don't listen to him, he will come to the army to find you."
Qin Lie couldn't help laughing when he heard what Zhao Xue had finally come up with after racking her brains.
If I hadn't seen her hooking up with Brother Hei with my own eyes, I would have really believed Zhao Xue's appearance.
How could he have thought that Zhao Xue was a pure woman? Zhao Xue was obviously the most fickle woman in the world.
"What? Are you, my good wife, going to sell yourself to help me pay back the debt?"
Zhao Xue secretly complained in her heart that if she had not given Brother Hei a lot of "benefits", Qin Lie would have thought he could still be his squad leader in the army, but he would have been kicked back to the countryside by the army leaders long ago.
However, Qin Lie's current state prevented her from revealing her thoughts.
"Brother Lie, if you think I'm dirty, just divorce me. I really didn't mean it."
The smile on Qin Lie's face grew brighter. He stood up with some difficulty and walked towards Zhao Xue step by step.
Seeing this, Zhao Xue turned around and wanted to run, but Qin Lie grabbed her hair.
Then there was a round of punching and kicking.
When Zhao Xue woke up again, all she saw was a sea of white and Qin Lie, who looked very happy.
"Xiaoxue, you finally woke up, how do you feel?"
His caring words gave Zhao Xue goosebumps. Qin Lie held Zhao Xue's hand tightly, like a husband who had deep feelings for his wife.
Zhao Xue's doubts were soon answered.
A doctor in a white coat came to the ward and said with a strange look on his face, "The baby is two months old. We were lucky this time. If it happens again, we won't be able to save the baby."
Qin Lie was known to everyone in the hospital. No one expected that a person who was diagnosed as infertile would actually have a child.
However, seeing Zhao Xue's face covered in bruises, the doctor couldn't help but sigh.
At the beginning, their relationship was so good that they couldn't control themselves in the hospital. Unexpectedly, when they came to the hospital again, the husband beat his wife in.
But there will be gossip to talk about in the hospital for the next few days.
Zhao Xue was shocked, and only then did she realize the dull pain in her stomach.
Her first reaction was to abort the child and divorce Qin Lie.
The doctor, as if to contradict her, continued, "If you can't keep this baby, it will affect your future fertility."
Zhao Xue's face turned pale instantly. After seeing the smile on Qin Lie's face, she felt that there was no hope in her life anymore.
"Xiaoxue, this child is a treasure God has given us." Qin Lie said, and then he seemed to realize something and looked at the doctor beside him. "Doctor, I'm sorry, I'm too excited."
The doctor nodded in understanding and quickly left the ward.
When Qin Lie and Zhao Xue were the only ones left in the ward, Qin Lie's expression changed instantly.
"Xiaoxue, whose child is this?"
Zhao Xue's face suddenly turned pale.
Whose child is it?
Qin Lie seemed not to notice her confusion. He gently stroked her cheek with one hand and said tenderly, "No matter whose child it is, I will treat him as my own."
"You and the baby won't leave me, will you?"
Zhao Xue tightened her grip on the quilt and nodded numbly.
Qin Lie touched Zhao Xue's still flat belly and smiled kindly: "What do you want to call this child?"
Zhao Xue knew that Qin Lie didn't care about her opinion at all.
Sure enough, the next second Qin Lie continued, "Let's call the boy Qin Xiaofeng. When he and Xiaobao go out, you'll know they're siblings as soon as you hear their names."
Zhao Xue: "What if it's a girl?"
Qin Lie's eyes suddenly turned violent and he grabbed Zhao Xue's neck.
"You are pregnant with a boy."
Qin Lie didn't let go of his hand until Zhao Xue suffocated.
"If anything happens to the child, you won't live either."
