Xue Yang let go of his hand, his bright handsome face was confused and embarrassed, and he lowered his head again, seeming to be uncomfortable.
"Dad...I..."
He hesitated to speak, and there seemed to be a hint of choke at the end of his voice.
Xiaoyu had already "climbed mountains and waded through rivers" to reach her father, patted Xue Yang's big feet a few times, and giggled happily.
Xue Yang picked her up, kissed her with red eyes, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Cheng Tianyuan intuitively felt that something serious was going on, so he quickly picked up the little boy and sat next to his son with his grandson in his arms.
"What's wrong? What happened? Where is Xiaoxiao? Why didn't you see her come back with you?"
Xue Yang did not dare to speak and avoided his father's concerned eyes.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but guess: "The young couple had a quarrel, didn't they? Why?"
Xue Yang hesitated: "She... is still crying outside."
Cheng Tianyuan glared at his son with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxiao married all the way away, and her parents are not around. No matter what happens, try to accommodate her first. When she married into our family, she had a big belly, and her age
It is not easy to give birth to two children so easily!"
At this time, Xue Ling heard the noise and came over, a little surprised by her husband's loud voice.
She glanced at her son's red eyes, so she didn't speak for the time being and silently took Xiaoyu from Xue Yang's hand.
Cheng Tianyuan continued to lecture his son: "We have an elder and a younger child in our family. She will have to face so many strange relatives as soon as she enters the house. It is inevitable that she will feel aggrieved occasionally. If she marries you, she can only get along with your family.
My son, I was forced to accept your relatives as relatives. We all live under the same roof, and we bump into each other from time to time. We have been getting along since you were born, but she only married into our family the year before last. She has to adapt to us.
With a big family, she must have a much harder time than you! Let her be more generous and care about her more, you know?"
Xue Ling teased the little baby in her arms and said warmly: "Although Xiaoxiao is a mother, she is only in her early twenties. I usually coax her more and pay more attention to her feelings."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement and ordered: "Go and coax her in quickly! Go quickly!"
"...No." Xue Yang said with a bitter face: "I know all this. It's just...it's just...she accidentally got pregnant again."
What?!!
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling looked at each other instinctively, and both froze in shock.
Xue Yang's tears flashed: "Since she gave birth to the child, we all knew that our current financial conditions and practical situation could not allow us to have a second child so soon, so we have been using contraception. Who knows that one time she was too busy and forgot to take birth control pills
, the child was accidentally conceived. She always felt nauseous in the morning for the past two days, and said it looked a bit like her previous pregnancy. She and I were secretly afraid, so we quietly went to the hospital for a checkup in the afternoon... Sure enough, she was pregnant again.
One and a half months.”
"It's been a month and a half?" Xue Ling asked in a low voice, "Is the child's condition normal?"
Xue Yang nodded: "Normal is normal, but -"
"Since it's normal, what are you doing looking like this?!" Cheng Tianyuan stared at him in disbelief and patted the baby in his arms on the back, "I almost thought the child was in trouble... I was scared to death by you brat!
"
Xue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine that the child is fine. By the way, where is Xiaoxiao? Just coax her in quickly!"
"No!" Xue Yangteng stood up excitedly, frowning and said harshly: "Dad! Mom! Why have you listened for most of the day and you can't get the key points I said! I mean our economic situation and the actual situation are really not suitable.
Now I’m expecting my second child! My company has just started. I finally made a few bucks last year, and I have to work hard to pay off the remaining loans this year. Xiaoxiao will graduate in a few months, and she still has to find a job to fight for her career. Xiaoyu and Xiao
We can no longer take care of our friends. If it weren’t for your financial support, we wouldn’t be able to support them! Now that we are both at the beginning of our careers, we really don’t have that much energy to raise so many children!”
Without family help, given their current financial situation, it would be difficult to even buy a small apartment, let alone raise children.
He had to go to work, and Xiaoxiao had to go to school. Since the birth of the two children, their family and nannies had helped to take care of them, and the mother had to bear all the expenses for the children.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to have children at all.
Now these two are already overwhelmed, how can we get one more!
"I know you all love Xiaoxiao and your grandchildren very much, but I can't let Xiaoxiao give birth one after another like a sow. She has stopped taking college courses because of competitions and training, and she has not been able to do it for several years.
There is no way to graduate. Now that she is about to graduate, she still has to pursue her career. If she has one more child, she can't hire another nanny, right? Not to mention the cost, Xiaoxiao can't just ignore three children.
Regardless of such a beautiful period of youthful struggle in life, she can’t just stay at home to give birth and take care of her children!”
Speaking of this, Xue Yang couldn't help but shed tears.
"I...I also love children very much. Everyone in our family likes children very much. Xiaoxiao can't let go of the child...but I can't persuade her to give birth! If I say this, what qualifications do I have to talk about loving her?
Do you love her? I can't be too selfish!"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned when he heard this and looked at Xue Ling aside.
"Daughter-in-law, go and call Xiaoxiao in. He just said that Xiaoxiao was crying outside."
Xue Ling turned around to go out, but then came back.
"Wait a minute! Why is Xiaoxiao crying? The last time she was pregnant with twins, she was reluctant to abort the children. Xiaoxiao is so kind and loves children so much, she couldn't bear to do so."
Xue Yang's mouth moved and he whispered: "She didn't say anything... she just kept crying. I know she felt very sad in her heart. Mom, the situation this time is very different from last time. At that time we were still
It is understandable that she is reluctant to give up without a child. But what makes her difficult this time is that she is about to graduate and find a job. Now we can’t take care of the two children we have already given birth to, and we simply can’t spare the time to have another child. She has no energy.
There are so many, there are only twenty-four hours in a day, and we don’t have many heads, six arms, or two bodies.”
He had never given birth to a child before, nor had he taken care of a child before. Only now did he realize how difficult it is to raise a child!
All kinds of expenses are as high as a mountain, and everyone is a real gold-swallowing beast.
Not to mention money, time is even more important. As long as your children are awake, you cannot leave them for a while, otherwise they may bump or fall, or even be life-threatening.
It’s not that they don’t want to keep this child, it’s that they really can’t afford it anymore!
"Don't worry yet." Xue Ling gave up tiredly: "Everything will always have a solution. Xiaoxiao is still pregnant with the child, so it's not good for her to cry all the time. You go and coax her in first, saying that her parents already know,
Let her come in and discuss it with us. If we don't know, you can make your own decision. But since you told us to know, we can't ignore it."
