Chapter 458 Deciding to Keep the Child



Yu Yang: "Mom and Dad, keep him/her! It's a life! If that happens, I'll take care of my younger siblings and he/she!"

Mom, please don't have an abortion! That's murder! The doctor said that abortion is harmful to your body these days!

After all, he or she is a precious life, and our family can afford to raise him or her.

I will take care of him/her from now on. He/she will get to choose whatever he/she has first, and I will give it all to him/her. He/she is my own younger brother/sister!

I won't fight him/her for him/her, I will love him/her well, Mom, please let him/her stay, please!

Chen Hong's initial hesitation was shaken by her son's words, "That's murder!"

Yes, it's a little life! Since it's come to live with them, it must have a great destiny with them.

This child came so unexpectedly; she was able to get pregnant even though she had an IUD in place!

Perhaps this was a blessing from God for her and Zhou Yi. Fate was hard to defy, and the family of three reached a consensus to keep the child.

Zhou Yi and Chen Hong were deeply moved by their son's understanding and kindness, and both promised Yang: "Son, you are our most beloved child! We will listen to you and keep this little life!"

Zhou Yi felt even more gratified, realizing that his treatment of this son as his own was not in vain. He often thought that perhaps Yu Yang was the destined son sent to him by Heaven.

"Son, don't worry. Even if we have a second baby, you will always be your father's eldest son. That will never change."

Dad promises you, I will never favor either of you, and I will resolutely treat you both equally.

Chen Hong knows her son is a kind and considerate child, and she also knows that no matter what, having a second child, she cannot be absolutely fair.

Human nature is to pity the small and weak. When faced with a young baby, not only parents, but even a kind eldest son, would absolutely not be able to not favor him (her), just like the child in the previous life.

She secretly resolved that no matter what happened in the family in the future, they would uphold democracy and discuss and resolve issues openly and honestly.

We should try our best to ensure that no child suffers any injustice, and we should never allow the idea that "the child is older and should give in to the younger one" to appear in her family life.

Chen Hong was no longer conflicted. As the baby in her womb grew day by day, she lay down and decided to stop struggling.

With two men in the house, she really didn't need to worry. Yu Yang and Zhou Yi, father and son, had already formed a solid defense.

The father and son bought a lot of parenting books and would study parenting tips through video every night, discussing how to care for a pregnant woman's diet, clothing, and emotions.

They cared even more than Chen Hong herself. What made Chen Hong both amused and exasperated was that her parents were called in!

In her two lifetimes, she was called in for a talk by her teacher!

Chen Hong felt uneasy. Since starting school, Yu Yang had been an excellent student every year.

He was always among the top three in his grade, and at every parent-teacher conference, he was the one who was publicly praised as a good student.

As the parent of a model student, Yu Yang has never caused Chen Hong any worry about her studies, making her the envy of many parents.

Chen Hong was unsure of herself after being spoken to by her teacher alone, and the teacher didn't explain why on the phone.

She didn't tell Yu Yang, but went to Yu Yang's school the afternoon after the teacher called and met Yu Yang's homeroom teacher.

Yu Yang's teacher is a very wise and knowledgeable woman. She is very young, not yet thirty years old, a graduate of a prestigious university, and has been a teacher for five years.

She has high professional ethics and is very patient; she is a very gentle and elegant female teacher.

Yu Yang has been studying at this school for two years, and this teacher, Ms. Wen, has always been in charge of their class. Chen Hong also met Ms. Wen at a parent-teacher meeting.

Teacher Wen had another class to teach, so the two of them didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point, talking about Yu Yang's performance at school recently.

"Yu Yang's mom, your Yu Yang has been frequently looking at parenting guides during self-study periods lately. Is it possible that you're pregnant?"

Chen Hong's eyes widened: "Yes, I'm more than four months pregnant. But I really didn't know Yu Yang brought parenting books to school to read."

Has it affected his grades? Don't worry, I'll talk to him about it when we get home.

I'm so sorry, Teacher Wen. You know our family situation. Yu Yang is such a sensible child. His father is often not home, and he wants to learn how to take care of me!

This is our fault as parents; we made our child worry because we didn't communicate well with him. It won't happen again; I will make him focus on his studies.

Teacher Wen smiled and said, "Yu Yang is a very worry-free child. He is very self-disciplined and self-aware."

As long as it doesn't affect his studies or class order, and he spends more time reading, studying, and taking care of his mother, it's a good thing.

However, he has been frequently discussing the issue of taking care of younger siblings with his classmates lately, which is not a good thing.

Other children may not be as self-disciplined as him; they often daydream in class. The other day, his composition was titled "My ××," but half the class, influenced by this trend, wrote about "My Younger Brother (Sister)."

Chen Hong found it amusing: "What's wrong? Did you go off-topic?"

Teacher Wen smiled helplessly: "It's not that we've gone off-topic, but the vast majority of students' answers were fabricated."

They don't have any younger siblings at all; it's all made up.

Our current requirement for lower-grade students' compositions is to express genuine emotions, even if it's just a simple account of events, to convey that sense of authenticity.

Now the students are all being led astray by Yu Yang. The key issue is that he has a lot of influence among the students, which makes things very difficult for us teachers.

Chen Hong was secretly overjoyed; she never expected her son to be the class leader, setting such a strong example.

Knowing that Chen Hong was pregnant, Teacher Wen didn't say anything else. She agreed to contact Chen Hong by phone if needed and then saw her out of the office.

Thinking about the ridiculous scene Yu Yang had created, Chen Hong laughed all the way home. That evening, during a family video conference, she brought up the matter in detail.

"Son, you should do what you're supposed to do! You're still a primary school student, you don't need to worry about anything else, just focus on your studies."

Let me tell you, if your grades drop, that would be really embarrassing.

Mom is as strong as an ox now, so you two don't need to worry. Just focus on your studies and your work.

If I need help, your grandma and aunt are here. One phone call and they'll come over to help. There are some things only they can do.

Yu Yang: "Mom, just tell me, did our teacher contact you?"

I found out about it this afternoon; I saw you go to our school from the window.

Chen Hong: "You sit at school all day and know everything about family matters! You obviously worry too much!"

Zhou Yi offered Yu Yang a way out, saying, "Son, the biggest help you can give is to prevent your mother from worrying about you. Just focus on your studies from now on!"

Yu Yang: "Okay, but you can't refuse to help Mom with housework after I finish my studies!"

I want to learn to be a good older brother so that I can help Mom take care of my younger siblings when they are born!
