In the sanatorium, on the cobblestone path by the lake, two figures were walking slowly hand in hand.
The older one looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a somewhat hunched body.
Regardless of her old age, she personally supported the middle-aged woman next to her.
"Nannan, let's go to the retirement home. Although this place looks nice, it's privately run and not formal!"
The old lady looked at her daughter with heartache and persuaded her softly.
"No need! I've almost recovered."
"Besides, it's nice here—"
If she had not lived in this nursing home, she would not have met Ms. Gu.
If she hadn't met Ms. Gu, she would still be struggling with this.
Perhaps, she might really be kidnapped by public opinion and morality, and then make a decision that will make her feel depressed for the rest of her life.
Hearing her daughter's voice, although she was no longer as weak as before, the old lady still couldn't help but feel distressed.
"It's all that bastard Ma Teng's fault. We thought he was a good person, so your father and I trusted you to him. We never thought he would do such a bastard thing."
"We were so foolish before that we actually believed his lies—"
He almost killed his only daughter.
When the old lady mentioned this incident, she felt angry and guilty.
She was angry at her son-in-law for being a bastard and deceiving her, and felt guilty for not believing her daughter.
"Mom, I can't blame you for this. You're just worried about me and you're always thinking that the baby that comes out of my belly will kiss me."
The middle-aged woman, Xu Nan, no longer had that look of resentment and resentment on her face.
She began to make peace.
Everything is really over.
And she really let it go.
Xu Nan is forty years old and works within the system.
She is the third generation, having lived in the compound since her grandfather.
Graduated from university, took the civil service exam, and started working.
At the age of 30, I got married with my college classmate.
My husband is a teacher. His family is ordinary, but he has very good conditions in all aspects.
After they got married, they loved each other and had a harmonious family.
There may be some minor frictions, but they won't really fall out.
The only regret is that they have been married for ten years but have no children.
The elders on both sides were anxious, especially the husband's family, who talked about having a grandchild every day.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the couple finally went for a check-up.
The examination results showed that my husband was in good health and the mirror was of good quality.
The problem is Xu Nan, who has a deformed fallopian tube and is unable to have children.
Only Xu Nan herself knew how devastating she felt when she saw the inspection report.
Although Xu Nan does not think that his value needs to be proven by a child.
But she wants a child of her own.
Moreover, whether we admit it or not, children still play an important role in maintaining the family.
The most important thing is that Xu Nan and his wife are not DINKs.
Including the young couple, everyone in the two families is relatively traditional.
Everyone believes that a normal family should have children.
That is to say, the Xu family is a prominent family, so the husband's family dare not make a fuss about "divorcing the wife and marrying another one".
But since the test results came out, the mother-in-law who had always been gentle with Xu Nan also started to be sarcastic and make indirect accusations.
Xu Nan felt that she was in the wrong and had no confidence to argue with her mother-in-law.
What can she say?
She just can't have children.
Fortunately, with the advancement of technology, infertility is no longer a terminal illness.
After consultation, the couple negotiated and finally decided to have in vitro fertilization.
The IVF process is very painful.
But for the sake of having a child and for the sake of his family, Xu Nan endured it all.
Finally, the test tube was successful and the tiny follicle entered her uterus.
Her belly also began to grow bigger day by day.
Xu Nan and his wife, as well as both families, were very happy.
In a few months, they will be able to welcome a new life and their bloodline will be continued.
However, when Xu Nan was four months pregnant, she went for a routine prenatal check-up.
Xu Nan is already forty years old and is an elderly mother.
It is impossible to do Down syndrome screening, only non-invasive DNA testing can be done.
The Xu family is a prominent family and they attach great importance to their only daughter.
I went to the best hospital in Hong Kong for this examination.
The mother-in-law also reminded Xu Nan that she could do a gender test.
Xu Nan: ...My husband is good in every way, except that he has a mother who favors boys over girls.
Xu Nan herself is an only child, and this time her "pregnancy" was extremely difficult, so she cherishes it very much.
It really doesn't matter to her whether it's a boy or a girl.
She likes any healthy baby.
However, since her mother-in-law was always nagging, Xu Nan couldn't just ignore her.
After arriving in the port city, I simply underwent a full set of examinations.
"Check everything?"
The doctor in Gangcheng didn't know that Xu Nan said "full set" out of spite.
They took it seriously.
So, not only was the sex of the fetus checked, but a DNA test was also done.
Then, something went wrong.
The fetus' DNA is related to the father, but not to the mother!
Obstetricians and gynecologists have definitely seen a lot of rare things.
For example, twins have two fathers.
However, cases like Xu Nan's, where the mother and fetus have no parent-child relationship, still shocked the doctors.
Later, when the doctor learned that Xu Nan had done IVF, he began to understand.
First, it might be an accident and the hospital got the wrong egg.
Second, it may be intentional and there may be a conspiracy behind the scenes.
If Xu Nan was an ordinary person, the doctor would not have engaged in conspiracy theories.
