Chapter 479: Two Different Things
"It doesn't matter. Let's not discuss this for now. It's too early to talk about this now."
As someone who has been through this, Lin Youjuan had the same idea as Meng Chuyuan when she was young, but after she got married, all the rules and regulations she had set were gone.
Nowadays, most young people are afraid of marriage and having children. Lin Youjuan feels that they have at least taken a big step forward. As a mother, she is very pleased to see them get married.
Hearing that Lin Youjuan still had hope in her words, Meng Chuyuan felt that there was no need for Lu Qingye to hide it for her, and she had never made any plans for having children, and she didn't want to make the elders in the family wait anxiously and feel disappointed in the future.
"Mom, I'm telling you the truth." Meng Chuyuan looked calm and explained to Lin Youjuan slowly, "My father was born deaf and dumb, so I'm likely to carry the recessive gene. So considering the child's future health, I decided not to have children."
"This..." Lin Youjuan seemed surprised. She had never expected this reason. She was stunned for a moment, then focused all her attention on Meng Chuyuan, "Why didn't you tell me earlier... Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Are you experiencing tinnitus?"
Lu Qingye chose not to say anything at first because he didn't want to create panic, but now it's very obvious from his mother's behavior.
Meng Chuyuan was confused by Lin Youjuan's sudden concern. They were clearly talking about serious matters, so why did Lin Youjuan shift the topic to her?
She blinked in surprise and replied softly, "I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay." Lin Youjuan breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "If you had this condition since childhood, it would have been so painful. Fortunately, you didn't."
He noticed that Lin Youjuan's reaction was relatively calm, as if it was not as bad as Meng Chuyuan thought.
She knew that in today's society, most elders valued the continuation of the family line and would also consider the good genes of their offspring... If the problem lay with the woman, it would be difficult to forgive.
However, when Lin Youjuan heard her explanation, instead of changing her expression, she became concerned about Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mom, what do you think about me not having children?"
Lin Youjuan nodded gently, "Your concerns are correct. You should not have the baby. No, you absolutely cannot have the baby."
The world of children is pure, brilliant, colorful and full of sound and color. If they lose the ability to express themselves and cannot hear the sounds of this world, they will not only face loneliness, but will also encounter many difficulties in the future.
These children often need to be strong enough in their hearts to overcome the darkness that the world brings them.
Now it seems that Meng Chuyuan not only had a hard life when she was a child, but also had to face the rumors around her on her own. Thinking of this, Lin Youjuan felt even more sorry for her.
"Will you blame me if we don't have children in the future?"
"I can't blame you. It's not as serious as you say. The conditions are here, and we can't just go our own way."
To be honest, she still felt a little regretful... Who doesn't want to have many children and grandchildren?
But it is really hard to say for sure about recessive genes, and they are likely to be inherited.
Now that things have come to this, the best option is to accept it.
It just so happened that she and Meng Chuyuan had the same idea, and the safest solution was already here.
Lin Youjuan sighed softly, and soon calmed down, comforting Meng Chuyuan:
"Don't worry, Mom isn't that stubborn. Don't feel burdened by your father's situation. I never think that people with hidden diseases or physical disabilities are inferior and don't deserve a normal life and treatment."
She believes that happiness, freedom and health are the most important things in life.
If even the most basic health cannot be guaranteed, then what is the point of having a child?
Even if their financial conditions allow, Lin Youjuan does not quite approve of them taking risks. Although the parents may be the ones who are tired, the ones who really suffer are the children.
"Thank you, Mom. I'm really happy that you understand me." Seeing Lin Youjuan's attitude today, Meng Chuyuan finally realized that Lu Qingye's easy-going personality was probably inherited from his mother.
Lin Youjuan is more open-minded. After all, she has experienced the risks of pregnancy and childbirth and knows the hardships involved. "It's actually quite good not to have children. Pregnancy is really harmful to the body."
"When I was young, I vowed not to have children. But my brother's cubs softened my stance, and I ended up having three children..."
Talking about the past, Lin Youjuan suddenly seemed to be in high spirits, and she spoke frankly, "You know what, when his father and I first got together, we were so innocent back then. We had to be mentally prepared to hold hands. There were several times when we went out together, and the atmosphere was clearly right, but he actually acted reserved in front of me! I was so angry that I told him at the time that it's okay for a man to be infertile, but it's not okay to be infertile. These are two different things..."
