Chu Tianxin thought, if Yao Xiujuan was before she was 30, not to mention one, even ten children would be no problem, anyway, he could afford to support them. But, how old is Yao Xiujuan now? He was really worried about Yao Xiujuan's health...
"I don't care. I must keep this child."
"You sleep by yourself tonight. I'll go sleep with Lele."
Yao Xiujuan didn’t know if it was because of the high estrogen levels during pregnancy, but when she saw Chu Tian not saying anything, she instantly became angry, pushed Chu Tian away, and tried to get out of bed holding her pillow.
“······”
Chu Tian reacted and quickly grabbed her arm, whispering, "Xiujuan, calm down. It's so late, Lele is asleep..."
Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian with a vigilant expression and said in a harsh tone, "This child must stay!"
"If you can't tolerate him, I, I..."
Chu Tian helplessly replied, "What do you want to do?"
"Are you going to run away from home again?"
Yao Xiujuan's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately, "Yes, if you don't agree, I will run away from home!"
Chu Tian took Yao Xiujuan's hand and patiently explained, "Xiujuan, you know that family planning has been very strict in the past two years, right?"
"Just now, our friendly army's wife, Jiali, got pregnant again. Did the leaders of their unit come to her house to persuade her to have an abortion?"
"you···"
Before she finished speaking, Yao Xiujuan continued, "But we don't work at the company. Besides, I heard from the guy who runs the vegetable shop across the street that his wife is giving birth to her fifth child this month, and he took the initiative to go to the Family Planning Office and paid a fine of over 1,000 yuan so that he can register the child..."
Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan in surprise, "You've even found out about this?"
Yao Xiujuan said proudly, "Of course, once I knew you were pregnant, I would definitely find out everything."
After a pause, he continued, "By the way, I heard that it's easier to settle down if the children are not registered in the same household. Look, Xinxin, Lele, and Pingping are staying with you in Beijing, so the little one in my belly can stay with me in this house first, right?"
Chu Tian looked at the energetic Yao Xiujuan with a headache, "Xiujuan, don't think about the fine and the household registration for now, think about how Xinxin and the other three will react first."
Yao Xiujuan wondered, "Why do we have to see their reactions? What does having a child have to do with them?"
“·····”
Chu Tian could only patiently explain, "No, didn't you say before that you wanted to keep Xinxin, Pingping, and Lele company? So, shouldn't you listen to their ideas and opinions?"
Yao Xiujuan frowned, "But..."
Seeing that Yao Xiujuan wanted to say something, Chu Tian quickly interrupted, "Okay, it's late, you're pregnant, go to bed first, and we'll talk tomorrow if there's anything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tian saw Yao Xiujuan immediately lie down with her eyes closed, looking like she was asleep, and he couldn't help but smile.
The next day, Chu Tian had something important to do, so he went to the company early. Before he left, he told Yao Xiujuan to think about it carefully and not leave the child behind. Yao Xiujuan agreed at the time and said she would think about it carefully, but as soon as Chu Tian left, she told Mrs. Chu and the three children.
Mrs. Chu was delighted. "Oh, that's great. It's great to have a child."
Xinxin didn't seem to be resisting her parents having a second child as Chu Tian had imagined. Instead, she said to Yao Xiujuan happily, "Mom, don't worry about the baby. As the eldest sister, I will definitely take good care of him!"
Pingping also nodded, "Yes, Mom, I will take good care of him too!"
Even Lele, who has always been the youngest in the family, excitedly hugged Yao Xiujuan's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I will be the big sister from now on. I will definitely set a good example for my little brother!"
Mrs. Chu laughed when she heard this. "Le Le, how do you know it's your brother? Maybe it's your sister?"
Lele shook his head and said firmly, "No, it must be my brother. I can feel it!"
Aunt Chu continued, "Mom, the child's eyes are very clear and can tell whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl. What Lele said must be right. Xiujuan's baby must be a boy!"
Aunt Chu agreed, "Yes, when my eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant with my youngest, my second son's child also said it was a boy, and it was born a boy."
"well···"
Old Mrs. Chu was even happier when she heard this. Although she did not favor boys over girls, she still felt that it was a little too little for her most beloved grandson to have only one son. If Xiujuan could give Chu Tian another son this time, then they would have two in total.
But seeing that Yao Xiujuan's face looked a little off, Mrs. Chu asked again in confusion, "Xiujuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yao Xiujuan shook her head and said, "No, I didn't experience any pregnancy symptoms at all with this pregnancy."
“Yes, yes…”
Old Mrs. Chu frowned, "What is it? Tell me, grandma supports you!"
Yao Xiujuan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Tian doesn't want this child... He wants me to have an abortion..."
Everyone present was shocked. After a while, Mrs. Chu reacted and asked in disbelief, "Why?"
Yao Xiujuan explained, "...That's it. Brother Tian thinks I'm too old to have a baby, and he thinks Xinxin and the others will be unhappy. He also thinks we have family planning now..."
Several people were stunned when they heard this. After a while, Mrs. Chu finally spoke, "What do you mean by old? When I gave birth to your aunt, wasn't I already over 30?"
Aunt Chu nodded, "Yes, I also gave birth when I was in my thirties, and I'm in good health, right?"
Aunt Chu also added, "Having a child in your thirties is not considered old. In our village, there are women in their forties and fifties who have children with their daughters-in-law. It's quite normal."
"Don't listen to Xiao Shi's nonsense about this..."
After a pause, Aunt Chu looked at Xinxin and the others, "As for whether Xinxin and the others would be unhappy..."
Before he could finish his words, the three children shook their heads. Xinxin quickly asked, "Why would we be angry? We really hope to have a little brother or sister."
Aunt Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry about the first two things. As for family planning..."
"To be honest, the situation in my hometown is very serious. If you don't pay the fine, they will tear down your house and take away your livestock..."
Mrs. Chu was curious, "How much is it?"
Aunt Chu thought for a moment and said, "Last year, the family in our village paid 300 yuan, and this year another family paid over 500 yuan..."
Aunt Chu was surprised. "Sister, does your village pay that much? In our village, there was a family that paid over 300 yuan for one extra child this year, and only over 500 yuan for two extra children..."
Aunt Chu nodded. "Yes, but I heard that the city pays more. If a working woman doesn't get an abortion, she'll be fired. If she doesn't get a job, she'll be fined one or two thousand..."
Yao Xiujuan continued, "It's similar to the situation in Xinjiang. The wife of the vegetable vendor across the street just registered her fifth child last month and was reportedly fined over 1,000 yuan."
Chu Xiaogu sighed when she heard this. Xinjiang City is still not good, and the fines are more than in her hometown.
Old Mrs. Chu glanced at Yao Xiujuan and became thoughtful.
