At this moment, Ma Baokun was in a dilemma. He saw how much his parents admired and obeyed Aunt Xiangxiang. If his parents had not planned to have a second child before, they would definitely be tempted by Aunt Xiangxiang's advice, and his original reliance would immediately vanish.
If he struggles for several years or even decades and still earns less than a fraction of his parents' fortune, why would he bother?
What man wouldn't want to reign supreme while drunkenly slumbering over a beautiful woman? Even if he doesn't love power over others, there has to be a beauty worth giving up for it.
Ma Baokun was having an ideological struggle in his heart, but Jun Wanhua's face turned pale.
Guan Bo and Aunt Guan smiled happily. Their daughter was really capable and hit the target right away.
Ma Zhao even looked at his wife. When did he plan to have a second child?
Guan Zanxiang's eyes lit up, a light that was blinding. Yes! If she had another child, the punishment wouldn't be as strict as before, and she could afford the fine. After the child was born, she could ask her parents to help discipline it. She just didn't believe it. Other people's children were all well-behaved and obedient, but if one of her children was disobedient, would both of them be disobedient? Chen Ou's children were all very obedient.
Ma Baokun, who was deep in thought, was also caught off guard. He nervously shouted, "Mom~"
"Why are you shouting?" Guan Zanxiang was already imagining the soft and tender little baby in her mind. When she looked up and saw her son who had become increasingly disobedient in recent years, she suddenly lost the reluctance to let him go.
"Ask your father to give you the start-up capital, and then sign the severance agreement. No matter when you want to get married, we will no longer object. By the way, I won't let you suffer any loss. The wedding house I originally prepared for you in the county town will also belong to you. In the future, don't come to me for money for no reason. I have to leave some for your younger brothers and sisters."
After saying this, he ignored the depressed look on his son's face and asked Zhou Xiang beside him, "Xiang Xiang, do you think I'm over 40 years old? Can I still do it?"
"Yes!" Zhou Xiang replied straightforwardly, "IVF technology is now mature, and we can even choose the number of babies and the gender of the baby."
"Really?" Guan Zanxiang was surprised and happy.
"Really? You can even freeze embryos and keep them for years! Anyone in their 50s or 60s who wants to have a child can do it. There are even women in their 60s who conceived naturally!"
Everyone at the table was stunned listening to the two people loudly discussing the issue of fertility. Only Ma Baokun stood there stupidly. His mother didn't want him anymore. When this thought came to his mind, his eyes turned red, "Mom~"
Guan Zanxiang looked up at her son's aggrieved look and wanted to say something, but Zhou Xiang pulled her sleeve under the table. She immediately understood that it is better to strike while the iron is hot, so she hardened her heart and said,
"Okay, you've got what you wanted. What else are you dissatisfied with? Oh, right, when you were arguing with your dad before, you said you'd leave the house even without the money. Are you dissatisfied with us giving you money? If you really think it's too much, then we don't have to give you any."
Zhou Xiang's mouth twitched violently. What should she do if she wanted to laugh? It was unclear whether Guan Zanxiang was doing it on purpose or really meant it; her expression didn't reveal it at all.
"No!" Tears fell from Ma Baokun's eyes. "I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to sever ties with you."
"Then what do you want?" Guan Zanxiang quickly followed up with him.
"I want to break up. I want to break up with Jun Wanhua." Ma Baokun almost shouted, as if he was making a choice under duress.
"no!"
Before Jun Wanhua could speak, Ma Zhao refused. "What's the point of repeating the same thing over and over again? This girl has been with you for a year, and just like you, she didn't get into college. A man's word is his bond, and you have to be responsible for her.
Okay, when I get home this afternoon, we'll break up. I've been mad at you for years, and you've been so heartbroken that you want to break up. If you regret it in a few years, I'll still have to endure your complaints! It's not that easy.
Do what you have to do. Don't dump your girlfriend as soon as you see the benefits are gone. You are such a jerk. No man in my Ma family is as jerk as you."
"Dad!" Ma Baokun shouted in panic, and his father's tone was colder than ever before.
"Calling me ancestor is useless. In the past, your mother couldn't bear to let you go. For your mother, I tolerated you, a son who was like an ancestor. Now that your mother has come to her senses, why shouldn't I take this opportunity to liberate myself?"
Ma Zhao resolutely refused to give his son a chance to regret. Instead of taking the opportunity to drive him out and let society reform him, would he just leave his son in the hands of his wife and let him be a mama's boy?
"Ma Zhao, I'm sorry. You've worked hard all these years." Guan Zanxiang apologized to her husband. They had quarreled for many years because of their son. Several times, her husband raised his hand and wanted to hit her, but then put it down. She had never thought about the anger and forbearance in her husband's eyes before. Now, although her son's behavior was forced by everyone, that unhesitating scumbag and Jun Wanhua's pale face made her deeply feel her happiness. Her husband was really good to her.
"It's okay," Ma Zhao looked at his wife, "If you really want another child, then have one. I was afraid of fines before because I was poor, and later I was busy making money and neglected my family. Now, do whatever you want. When I'm busy for a few more years, I'll hire someone to manage the business and spend more time with you."
"Yes!" Guan Zanxiang nodded vigorously with red eyes.
"Clap, clap, clap," Zhou Xiang raised his hands and clapped, "You guys are such a great bunch of dogs and wolves. I'm almost exhausted."
Boom, Guan Zanxiang was embarrassed by Zhou Xiang.
Ma Zhao glanced at Zhou Xiang and said, "Every time you're with Ling Ran, don't I feel overwhelmed by the dog food? I'm so full that my stomach hurts."
Ling Ran was picking fish bones at the moment. After hearing what Ma Zhao said, he even put the deboned fish meat into his wife's bowl. "Wife, how about we have a baby too? The older the child gets, the more disobedient he becomes. When he reaches puberty, he'll be unruly."
"Dad~"
"dad!"
"dad?"
Haohao, Dangdang and Tongtong called out "Dad" in unison. Is their father tired of them?
"What are you yelling about?" Ling Ran glared at them coldly. "You're not very obedient now. When you're your brother Baokun's age, you'll be really noisy. It's better to have a baby soon. Babies are the cutest and most adorable."
"Mom~"
"Mother!"
"Mother?"
Seeing that their father's side didn't work, the three children immediately turned to their mother.
"You can consider it," Zhou Xiang looked at the three nervous children, "The condition for this consideration is whether the existing children are obedient. Just like your brother Baokun, he has been dragging his feet with his parents from last year to this year, trying to use their love to achieve his goal.
Yes, parental love is selfless, but love can be worn down by repeated hurts. People’s hearts are made of flesh. After repeated hurts and healing, the hearts that recover are covered with scars. And during the time from hurt to healing, there will definitely be bleeding.
In the end, all that is left is a wrinkled, bloodless heart that can no longer beat, and no longer has the energy to love.
"Mom, we will be obedient." Tongtong had tears in her eyes. She was frightened by her mother's description.
"Mom, we will all be obedient!" Haohao assured steadily.
"Mom, we won't be like brother Baokun. He is very stupid." Dangdang looked at Ma Baokun with disdain.
