Ji Ping's mother kept nagging, saying all the bad things about Zheng Wenjing.
Ji Ping frowned and waited until she finished speaking before speaking: "Mom, marriage is not a shackle that traps a woman. Wen Jing likes acting and she has her own pursuits. As her husband, I should support her."
"What shackles? You've read too much and become stupid." Ji Ping's mother glared at Ji Ping and said, "Since you two are married, your first priority must be to have a child. As long as you can have a child, you can pursue whatever you want. I don't care."
Ji Ping was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Mom, having a child depends on fate, there's no rush."
"Look at fate? Then tell me, when will fate come?" Ji Ping's mother snorted, "You've been married for six years, and fate hasn't come in six years. Do we have to wait another six years?"
Ji Ping was silent.
Ji Ping's mother said angrily, "Ji Ping, you really can't blame me for getting angry sometimes. Who wouldn't be angry if they married a daughter-in-law who couldn't give birth to a child?"
"I'm almost sixty years old. How many more years can I live? You can afford to delay, but I can't."
Ji Ping took a deep breath and said, "Mom, it's not Wen Jing's fault that we don't have children. She has been under a lot of pressure to have a child and has been working hard. Can you please not put so much pressure on her?"
"If you hadn't been so aggressive this time, Wen Jing wouldn't have been hurt."
When Ji Ping's mother heard this, she immediately became furious. "You've married a wife and forgotten your mother. Now all your heart and soul is focused on that woman. What's so good about that vixen Zheng Wenjing? As a woman, she can't even give birth to a child. Apart from her decent face, she has nothing to show for herself at home or outside of it. Don't you look at your classmates and friends? Who doesn't have children? Only you are still single, and yet you are so devoted to her."
"It's better to divorce her and find someone else. Maybe we can have a child soon."
Hearing this, Ji Ping felt helpless: "Mom, can you please stop saying things like that? I'd rather tear down a temple than ruin a marriage. How can you really want your son to get divorced like this?"
"But she can't." Ji Ping's mother's eyes turned red as she spoke: "The Ji family has been a single-line family for generations. Your father and I only have you as our only child. If you don't have any children, your Ji family will be extinct."
Ji Ping said, "We can adopt."
"Adopted children are not blood relatives!" Ji Ping's mother was so angry that she reached out and pinched his arm: "You stupid kid, are you deliberately trying to piss me off?"
Ji Ping frowned in pain, took two steps back to avoid his mother's hand, and said seriously, "Mom, I like Wenjing very much. It was me who pursued Wenjing wholeheartedly at the beginning, and Wenjing was moved by me and agreed to be with me. I don't mean any other by saying this, I just want to tell you that in this marriage between Wenjing and me, I have invested far more love than you can imagine."
"I like her, I love her, I want to be with her forever, I can't divorce her just because we don't have children."
"So I hope you can be nicer to Wen Jing. When you go up there later, apologize to Wen Jing."
"Apologize? You want me to apologize to her?" Ji Ping's mother simply waved her hand and refused: "Impossible."
"Then don't go up there." Ji Ping said, "Since you can't be kind to Wen Jing, then try not to meet Wen Jing in the future."
Ji Ping's mother's face turned grim, and she asked coldly, "Ji Ping, what do you mean?"
"For a mere Zheng Wenjing, you treat your adopted parents like this?"
Ji Ping explained, "Mom, I don't mean anything else. I just don't want you and Wen Jing to keep arguing with each other. From now on, I will visit you and Dad at home alone every week."
When Ji Ping's mother heard this, she immediately started wiping away tears: "You are truly bewitched by Zheng Wenjing! You have lost your mind! You treat a chicken that can't lay eggs like a treasure."
Ji Ping was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Laying eggs is the instinct of chickens. Roosters, on the other hand, don't lay eggs."
"?"
Ji Ping's mother was stunned. She looked at Ji Ping blankly and said, "Ji Ping, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."
