Chapter 189 Impulsiveness is the Devil
What else could it be?
Of course, it's a tiny person.
Just as he captivated Jiang Jiani at first sight, and then Lu's mother as well, Lu's father instinctively asked the same question the moment he saw the little girl:
"San'er, you and your wife went all the way to the capital to have a baby girl?"
Lu's mother glared at him: "Shut up, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, or people will laugh at you."
Aunt Liu and the Lu family's nanny immediately went upstairs to let the Lu family have a private conversation.
The Lu family of four each held a baby.
Lu Xiangyang explained, "The train had just started moving not long ago..."
He explained how he found the child and how he decided to adopt him.
However, the protagonist of the incident changed from Jiang Jiani to Lu Xiangyang.
The story goes that Lu Xiangyang found the child and, after hearing from the train conductor and others about the fate of abandoned children, felt sorry for the child. Since his family only had boys, he decided to adopt the girl.
In short, their family doesn't need another child to feed, so they're just doing a good deed.
Mr. Lu responded first: "That's right, he's my child."
"We can't help too many people, but we'll lend a hand to those we can see and have the ability to help."
The old man said with great emotion, "Back then, when your father came out of the village to beg for food, if it weren't for a landlord who gave me two steamed buns, I might have starved to death long ago, and you wouldn't exist."
Lu's father didn't join the army from his hometown. He had been begging for food for a while, encountered some things, and then came across our army, which made him join the army in anger.
He always remembered the kindness of the landlord who gave him those two steamed buns.
Unfortunately, when he later achieved great success and wanted to repay his benefactor, the family had already disappeared.
I don't know if the accident happened during the war or if the whole family moved to another place.
Lu's mother was speechless.
Ever since they got married, Old Lu has been talking about repaying a debt of gratitude. The first few times I heard it, I was quite touched by how grateful the man was, but after hearing it so many times, I just wanted to roll my eyes.
I didn't expect this guy to repeat the same old tune again.
They're not afraid that the young people will find it annoying.
Lu Xiangyang had heard about his father's kindness in giving him two steamed buns many times before, and now he pretended not to hear it at all.
This was the first time Jiang Jianni had heard Lu's father talk about the past, and she immediately decided that she would definitely ask him about it when she had the chance.
The whole family had no objections, and the little girl stayed.
However, a disagreement arose when it came to the child's household registration.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu want to register their little girl's household registration under the names of Lu Xiangnan and Tang Tian.
“They have no plans to have a second child. After Tang Tian gave birth, the second child secretly went to get sterilized, saying that they only want Haiqiang as their child in the future.”
"It's not that they don't want more children, it's that they don't want to interfere with their work because of them."
Lu Xiangnan and Tang Tian are both workaholics who only care about their work and have never thought about getting married and having children.
After all, even Haiqiang was conceived by accident; otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten married.
When Lu's mother heard them say those words, she almost fainted.
She never imagined that, out of her sight, her son would quietly go astray.
If it weren't for Haiqiang's unexpected turn of events, they wouldn't have even planned to get married.
In their words, they were just addressing their personal needs; nothing else mattered.
If Tang Tian hadn't just given birth and Lu Xiangnan hadn't just had a tubal ligation, Lu's mother would have beaten those two unhygienic fools to death.
She could also tell at the time that it was a pity the couple had given birth to a boy instead of a girl.
These two are delusional. Ever since they met Jiang Jiani, they've been thinking about how great it would be to have a daughter like her.
That's wishful thinking.
Why not just have a Wu Zetian?
Then the two of them could directly rise to power as the emperor and empress dowager through their daughter's influence.
So when Lu's mother learned that the little girl was adopted, she immediately thought of her second son and his wife.
Two kids in one family is just right.
Lu's father is another reason:
“San’er, you and your wife already have two children. If you raise another one, your salaries won’t be enough to support you.”
"Why don't you let your second brother raise the child?"
"Your second brother and his wife are both in the navy, and their combined allowances and subsidies are much more than yours."
"Give the children to them; it'll save you two a lot of pressure in the future."
I swear to God.
The elderly couple really had no selfish motives.
They even showed some favoritism towards Lu Xiangyang, the only child who stayed by their side.
They just felt that since this little girl they picked up wasn't a child of the Lu family and had nothing to do with the Jiang family, it didn't matter whose name she was registered under or whose daughter she was raised by; she was still a girl of the Lu family, so there was no difference.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Jianni's expression changed drastically upon hearing this: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Lu Xiangyang's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant: "There's no need to trouble yourself with that. The child's household registration has already been completed, and it's under my and Jiang Jiani's names."
"I've even set the birthday."
"They were born on the same day as Da Bao and Er Bao. Anyway, they look about the same age. Er Bao was born five minutes later than Da Bao, so the girl set her to be born eight minutes later than Er Bao."
"If anyone asks, just say it's triplets."
Lu's mother: "??? Triplets?"
She looked at him with a complicated expression: "You guys really have wild ideas! Twins are rare enough, let alone triplets? Even if we don't have any objections, other people won't believe it."
Twins are already one in a thousand, and triplets are even rarer.
Nobody would believe that triplets could be born healthy.
Jiang Jianni smiled slightly: "What does it matter to us whether they believe it or not? We just need to believe it ourselves."
She handed the children to Lu Xiangyang, letting him hold one in each arm.
He went and retrieved the sales contract for the house in the capital: "And we really can afford to support it."
"If we couldn't afford to raise them, we wouldn't dare to even consider adoption or actually bring the child back, would we?"
Things only taste good when they're in high demand.
Jiang Jiani's adoption proposal was truly just a momentary impulse, but Lu Xiangyang mistakenly believed that she empathized with him and the little girl, thinking that they had both been abandoned, and thus agreed to the adoption.
Jiang Jianni was in a dilemma. Even after bringing the child back, getting off the bus, registering the child's birth, and showing the child to the Lu family elders, she was still hesitant about whether or not to raise the child.
Her mindset at that time was similar to bringing home a kitten she liked, but not sure if she could take on the responsibility of caring for it.
To put it bluntly, impulsiveness is the devil, and I'm too young.
But when Lu's mother said that the child could be given to Lu Xiangnan and Tang Tian, Jiang Jianni suddenly became angry—why should the child I brought back be given to other people?
At the same time, it was the first time I felt that this child was also mine.
