"Of course, two! Now that you're a father, you must be careful with your words and actions. You need to know what you should and shouldn't say, so as not to set a bad example for the children." Lin Zhaoyue said softly, and Jiang Jingzhou nodded to indicate that he had remembered.
"good."
"..."
Lin Zhaoyue told her two uncles about Huang Dajin's situation. They were clearly unaware of it and even doubted whether what Lin Zhaoyue said was true or false.
"He admitted it himself."
Seeing their incredulous expressions, as if she had been mentally prepared, Lin Zhaoyue continued, "Moreover, someone saw my eldest uncle at my maternal grandparents' house that night. All the evidence is right in front of you; it's just that you don't dare to believe it."
Huang Eryin and Huang Santong exchanged a glance. Of course, they couldn't easily believe what Lin Zhaoyue said. They had indeed had conflicts with their parents over the years, but it was absolutely not enough for them to harm the two elders. Their elder brother would never do such a thing.
“My two uncles,” Jiang Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to address them, before continuing, “Huang Zizhong’s debts outside are not a small amount, and there have been two previous instances. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the factory to check the accounts and see if there are any omissions in the ledgers. Then you will know.”
Huang Eryin knew his nephew was a scoundrel, and it seemed possible that his elder brother would do something like this for him.
Thinking this through, Huang Eryin felt he should ask his older brother about the matter again. If it really was his brother who did it, then…

Before things were even over at the Huang family's place, good news came from the hospital: Aunt Qian had given birth!
She gave birth to a daughter.
However, because the child was premature, he had to be placed in an incubator, and no one in the family had ever seen him since he was born.
Niu Zaifang took the initiative to take care of Aunt Qian, and Lin Zhaoyue went to the hospital to see her after she gave birth.
Fortunately, things are going well now, and we've finally made it through.
When she returned from the hospital, Jiang Guofu told her that Huang Dajin had confessed to his crimes and admitted to everything he had done, but denied having any accomplices.
Huang Dajin is a father, so naturally he doesn't want anything to happen to his son. He keeps saying that others spoil their children, but doesn't he spoil his own children too?
Spoiling a child is like killing him!
There's some truth to that statement.
A few months later, Lin Zhaoyue went into labor at night. She had just arrived at the hospital and hadn't even had time to arrange surgery when she could already see the baby's head.
My first child was delivered via C-section, and my third child was delivered vaginally.
Everything went smoothly.
Just like last time, Lin Zhaoyue had to complete a full 100-day postpartum confinement period. She felt that postpartum confinement was even more difficult than childbirth, and being confined at home made each day feel like an eternity.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jiang Jingzhou simply took three months off to stay home with her.
Jiang Guofu couldn't help but complain to Hua Xiuyun when he saw that his son had asked for leave again.
"You're saying this isn't your first child, why do you have to take time off to stay home with her?"
"Can you please stop saying such stupid things to me! So what if the young couple has a good relationship? Do you expect them to fight all the time? Let them do what they want, don't give me your opinions."
Hua Xiuyun said irritably, "It's fine if you say these things to me, but if you dare to say them to our son and affect his relationship with his wife, I won't let you off the hook!"
“My daughter-in-law is acting strangely right now. My son asked me about it during the day. The doctor said it’s called postpartum depression. If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense here.”
"Okay, okay, I was talking nonsense, I was wrong."
Jiang Guofu dared not make her angry, for fear that she might kick him out if she was unhappy.
He is now having less and less status in the family.
“You don’t understand anything, so you should speak less in this house from now on. You don’t need to make any decisions in this house.”
"Understood, you'll be in charge of this household from now on."
"I'll listen to my daughter-in-law."
"..."
— Lin Zhaoyue gave birth to a son for her third child. After the 100-day celebration, she returned to work.
She was actually quite upset about just abandoning her child, but she also had her own things to do, so there was nothing she could do about it.
Professor Liao promoted Lin Zhaoyue, not only arranging for her to do research at the research institute, but even letting her go to the operating table.
Three years later, Lin Zhaoyue had become a well-known director of cardiac surgery in China.
The two older children in the family are in kindergarten, leaving only the younger one at home with her mother-in-law.
After Jiang Jingzhou was promoted, Jiang Guofu was arranged to retire so he could stay home and help take care of the children.
Jiang Guofu's days weren't too boring, but he felt that if his son and daughter-in-law had another child, there would be someone to look after the family.
It was just a casual mention at the dinner table when Lin Zhaoyue seemed to remember something and laughed out loud, "Dad, neither of us plans to have any more children. We're already quite busy with life, why would we want to create more work for ourselves? Besides, my mom just got out of the baby craze. If we have another one, she'll spend the rest of her life dealing with children."
"Whether or not they want to have children is not up to you. If you like children so much, then you can go out and find a woman to have one for you! Anyway, I can't have one." Hua Xiuyun glared at Jiang Guofu, somewhat angry. "If you ask me, your mouth! You're getting more and more out of control as you get older. You're practically driving people crazy!"
“We’re not going to have any more children,” Jiang Jingzhou said inexplicably. “I had surgery!”
"What?"
Jiang Guofu felt that as a man, having that kind of surgery was like losing his dignity as a man.
He looked at his son with some disbelief and asked repeatedly, "What surgery did you have?"
“If I don’t have the surgery, Zhaoyue will have to. She has already brought me to the brink of death twice. Besides, this little surgery is nothing to me. As long as we’re family, how could anyone else know?”
"Dad, our situation is different from yours. My mom injured her body when she gave birth to me, so even if you wanted children, you couldn't have them." He and Zhaoyue, however, could have children if they wanted to!
Lin Zhaoyue: "..."
Speaking frankly would be the best way to solve the problem at its root.
Her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.
Jiang Guofu felt that the thinking of young people nowadays was indeed incomprehensible; they could actually do such things. If others knew, they would definitely be laughed at.
"Well done!"
Hua Xiuyun nodded and said, "A man should take on these responsibilities. The surgery won't affect that aspect of my body. It's all the same. What? If there's nothing wrong with my body, and I don't want to have children, are you unwilling to have the surgery?"
"No... can you please stop trying to pin this on me? What does this have to do with me?"
