Lu Jun is a typical 8am to 5pm worker. He gets off work at 5pm and it takes him half an hour to get there if there is no traffic.
At 5:35, accompanied by the sound of keys opening the door, Lu Jun arrived home on time.
"Husband, you're back." Lin Xiaoman tried hard to play the role of Liang Xi without showing any abnormality.
"Yeah." He nodded and changed his shoes. Lu Jun came over and clapped his hands at the little bun Lu Xian with a smile, "Come here, dear son, let daddy hug you."
Lu Xian, who was playing with a small excavator, turned his head away and ignored him arrogantly.
Lu Jun raised his hands awkwardly and muttered, "What a brat!"
"That's enough. You're covered in bacteria. Are you dirty?" Zhou Xia slapped his hand away. "Go wash your hands. It's time to eat."
Lu Jun touched his nose embarrassedly and went to the bathroom. Zhou Xia went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Lin Xiaoman picked up the little bun, and after Lu Jun came out, she washed his hands, then took him out and put him in the baby chair.
No one said anything at the dinner table. After dinner, Lu Jun drove the car and the family of three left.
In the summer, it gets dark late, and it's still bright outside after six o'clock. As usual, the two took Lu Xian to the small park near the community. Lu Jun went to play basketball, while Lin Xiaoman took Lu Xian to the children's playground in the center of the park. In the summer evenings, parents from the neighborhood would bring their children here to play, making it very lively.
At around 7:30, the three of them went home together. After arriving home, Lin Xiaoman took Lu Xian to take a shower according to Liang Xi's daily routine. While Lu Jun was playing on the computer in the study, Lin Xiaoman quickly took a shower herself.
The original owner, who has a husband but refuses to divorce, is really... well, it's hard to describe. She also wants to divorce as soon as possible like the second tasker!
Lu Xian was used to taking a nap, so he didn't go to bed until around 10 o'clock that night, which was still early. After taking a shower, the energetic Lu Xian clamored to watch Peppa Pig, so Lin Xiaoman could only hold him on the sofa and watch TV.
After a while, Lu Jun came out of the study, washed an apple, and sat down next to Lin Xiaoman. While chewing the apple, he asked, "Wife, how is it going? Have you convinced your parents?"
Although Lu Jun and Liang Xi fell in love freely in college and had a deep emotional foundation, and their marriage was based on love, people are realistic after all. It was difficult for Lu Jun to accept the sudden appearance of a sister-in-law or even a brother-in-law.
"Hey, husband, you know my dad is very stubborn." Lin Xiaoman sighed in embarrassment, "He simply won't listen to my opinions."
"Do you really want to give birth?" Lu Jun immediately frowned.
"Yeah. Actually, my parents always wanted me to stay in the town, but since I married you, of course I have to stay in the city, so they both felt it was too lonely. And you know, the older generation is a bit conservative in their thinking, so they just hope to have a son." Lin Xiaoman also concealed it and gave Lu Jun a shot of prevention in advance.
My brother-in-law will definitely do it, this is unavoidable.
If Lu Jun really can't accept it, then they can only get a divorce.
However, according to Lin Xiaoman's analysis, it's not that Lu Jun cannot accept his brother-in-law, but because of this brother-in-law, his father-in-law's family has disturbed his small family too much. His wife has been helping her parents' family, and even after his father-in-law became paralyzed, she developed into a brother-in-law demon.
"Has it been confirmed that it's a son?" Lu Jun widened his eyes in shock. He felt that the taste of the apple in his mouth suddenly changed and he couldn't swallow it.
"I haven't checked that." Lin Xiaoman shook his head, "But it's certain that I have a younger brother or sister."
Lu Jun fell silent with a troubled expression. Although having a second child was a family matter between his father-in-law and his son-in-law, he had no say in it. But what if they were asked to support their younger sister-in-law or brother-in-law in the future?
It's not his son, why should he be in charge? He himself wants to have a second child!
"Anyway, my parents are determined to have a baby, that's for sure. Honey, what do you think?"
"Uh... I am against it, but you as their daughter couldn't convince them, and as their son-in-law, I can't even say anything. If they want to have the baby, then they have no choice but to give it to them."
He hesitated to speak, and with embarrassment, Lu Jun expressed his concerns, "But they are both old after all. They won't want us to take care of your younger siblings in the future, right? Honey, we have planned to have another child after Xiaobao goes to kindergarten. We don't have the energy to take care of your younger siblings. Otherwise, can you try to persuade them again?"
Lu Jun felt upset just thinking about getting a wife and getting a brother-in-law.
"There's no way to persuade them, they are determined. My dad earns a lot, they can support themselves, so we don't need to worry about it. Husband, in the end, this is your fault." Lin Xiaoman muttered and blamed, throwing the blame to Lu Jun.
"No way, what does this have to do with me?" Lu Jun quickly protested his innocence. It was not him who asked his father-in-law to have a second child.
"It's because your family has feudal ideas. Didn't I tell you before we got married that many only children in our town get married, but it's not just a marriage, but a separation. The girl doesn't marry and the boy doesn't marry, and the two families live together. If they have two children, one will take the father's surname and live in the boy's household, and the other will take the mother's surname and live in the girl's household. That's what my parents thought at the time, but in the end you just wouldn't agree." Lin Xiaoman complained. Liang Youyi did have the same idea at the beginning, but the Lu family insisted on not agreeing.
"That's not possible. This is against the rules. How can a child take the mother's surname? I'm not marrying into the family!" Lu Jun retorted excitedly. Deep down, Lu Jun is also a male chauvinist.
"Since you don't agree, I have no choice but to marry you. My parents probably feel that their family line will end. Before, the policy didn't allow it, but now that it does, of course they want to have another child to carry on the family line."
"But..." Lu Jun wanted to refute, but from a man's perspective, he understood his father-in-law's approach.
"So, this is all your fault! If your family hadn't disagreed, wouldn't my parents' property have been left to Erbao? We would have been more relaxed. But now I have more brothers and sisters, and it's all your fault!" Lin Xiaoman accused very righteously, "It's because you didn't agree to a child having my surname that my parents wanted to have a second child! It's all your fault!"
Lu Jun is not a naive idealist. He definitely has his eye on Liang Youyi's property. And since his father-in-law has a second child and his property is gone, he'll definitely feel uncomfortable. He's already dissatisfied, and when he encounters a conflict, he'll explode!
And they put the responsibility of the parents having a second child on Lu Jun. When conflicts arise, they can stand on the moral high ground and accuse him, and say with confidence, it's all your fault!
Who is responsible for the mistake is absolutely important when a conflict occurs.
"Uh... this..." Under Lin Xiaoman's accusation, Lu Jun felt a little weak and annoyed. If the child's surname is Liang, he would lose face! But now with this result... It's only natural for a father-in-law to be reluctant to give his property to his married daughter.
Alas, as expected, there are gains and losses.
After being criticized by Lin Xiaoman, Lu Jun was not so dissatisfied with his father-in-law and mother-in-law having a second child.
