In my memory, Wei Shufen had always been talking about wanting to adopt a nephew, but why did she suddenly change her mind?
Oh, on second thought, I understand now.
The child is sick, and I'm worried that a sick child will cause a lot of trouble in the future. What if something happens and the child dies? Wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort to raise such a child?
Wei Shufen has always been a shrewd and calculating person.
Her choice is consistent with her usual style and is not surprising.
"Yangyang isn't surnamed Wang after all..."
"So what if he doesn't have the surname Wang? Your nephew is a human being, but my nephew isn't? Look at what you, Old Wang, are saying. Don't you care if others laugh at you?"
"you……"
Wang Tianzhong was embarrassed when his mother and siblings retorted to his insults.
“That’s settled then. It’s not convenient for our family to adopt him. Do you have any other ideas?” Wei Shufen interrupted Wang Tianxiao and made a final, decisive conclusion. “At worst, we can find someone to raise him. A grown boy like him shouldn’t have trouble finding someone to take him.”
Wei Shufen's direct words instantly shattered the previous tranquility.
Everyone was initially immersed in grief over Wang Tianren's death, but now they are forced to be drawn into this new matter.
“Sister-in-law, you and my brother have always wanted to have a child, right? Hongwei is still young and doesn’t understand things yet. If we raise him from a young age, he will definitely think about you. Yangyang can continue to stay with your family. With your family’s financial situation, raising two children is not a big deal.”
Wang Xiaomei gently persuaded her.
Her husband was away on a business trip, so she came back with Wang Xiaolan this time, without bringing the children.
Wei Shufen still gave Wang Xiaomei some face.
She has always been a shrewd person, catering to different social statuses. She knew that although Wang Xiaomei's husband wasn't a high-ranking official, he worked at the Provincial Grain Bureau and was a deputy division-level cadre, so there was no doubt that he might get a better job in the future.
This is a perfect match between Old Wang and his family.
“Xiaomei, now that things have come to this point, I’ll tell you the truth in front of your mother. Actually… your older brother and I are thinking of ways to have a child of our own.”
She seemed a little shy as she said this.
It's something that's rather embarrassing to say in front of so many people.
Seeing her expression, everyone understood that she was sincere.
In that case, it's not unreasonable for her not to adopt. If she did adopt, she would already have two children, and having another son would seem like too many.
"More importantly... with the policies being so strict now, we don't have any more spots left, do we?"
Wei Shufen's addition left everyone speechless.
These past two years have been a period of tight population policy, with quotas strictly controlled, especially for public officials, who are absolutely not allowed to cross the line.
Wang Tianxiao has a deep understanding of this point.
In his previous life, he gave birth to Wang Peng and was fined 300 yuan at once, and the remaining amount had to be fined 10% every month for ten years.
His salary was already pitifully low, especially after he was injured and forced to take sick leave. He only received a subsidy of eighty yuan per month, and was also fined 10%. You can see how miserable he was at the time.
Because of this, he once blamed his son Wang Peng for the difficulties he faced, and his relationship with his son was not very good.
Things gradually improved after things got a little better.
Poverty makes people lose their ambition; many things are truly ruined by poverty.
What can be solved with a little money seems like an insurmountable mountain to the poor.
Or perhaps it's the sky that even with all its might, it can't be held up.
When Wang Tianxiao heard his sister-in-law say this, he looked at Wang Tianzhong and saw that Wang Tianzhong had his head down and was silent. He knew that this was also his thought.
Perhaps I don't completely agree, but I don't disagree either.
In that case, Hongwei definitely wouldn't receive good care if he stayed with them.
With a temperament as harsh as Wei Shufen's, it's alright now that she doesn't have biological children, but once her biological children are born, she definitely won't treat the adopted children well anymore.
This has already been verified in a previous life.
After her biological son was born, she kept thinking about sending her original child, who was her nephew from her maternal family, back to his family.
After failing to deliver the package, he continued to treat the recipient badly.
This caused Yangyang to have a lot of resentment towards Wei Shufen, and even develop hatred in his heart.
Unexpectedly, her biological child drowned later. She went back to look for Yangyang, but by then Yangyang had become an ungrateful wretch...
Not only did they treat her badly, but they also seized the house that Wang Tianzhong left her.
It really is...
Wang Tianxiao drew a conclusion from these people: people should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and not do things that violate their conscience.
This is not superstition, but rather that there is always a divine order watching over humankind.
Going too far against the principles of being a decent human being will inevitably lead to backlash.
He withdrew his gaze, looked at the other brothers, and sighed softly.
"So, nobody wants to adopt Hongwei?"
Everyone looked at each other, the younger ones feeling helpless. They were all children themselves, how could they adopt someone else's child?
Just as Wang Tianxiao was thinking that if it didn't work out, he would leave the child with him.
Anyway, I'm financially secure now, so raising a child isn't a burden. I'll let him play with Fangwa and the others and keep each other company.
Wang Xiaolan suddenly said, "Second Brother, if it doesn't work out, let Hongwei come with me."
"ah?!"
Everyone looked at Xiaolan.
Zhang Yufeng snapped, "What are you saying? You're still a young woman, how can you bring a child along? How will you ever get married? What are you talking about, you child!"
