Xie Meilan felt something was wrong when she got home. Not only was she very tired, but she also suffered from retching and nausea.
At first she thought it was because she was too tired after her mother's funeral, but later she realized that her relatives hadn't come for several months.
In the past few months, Xie Meilan has been busy with work and her mother's affairs, so she has naturally neglected herself.
Xie Meilan hurriedly went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test stick, and it turned out to be positive.
Seeing the pregnancy test results, Xie Meilan felt very complicated. She didn't know whether she should give birth to the child.
The child is Shen Lei's, but Xie Meilan feels that now is not the best time to have a child.
Both of them are immigrants from Beijing. They have no house or car in Beijing, and they don't know how to raise their children after they are born.
What's more, in order to treat her mother, Xie Meilan secretly borrowed 400,000 from Lu Jie.
Carrying debt and raising children at the same time will definitely be very hard.
Xie Meilan hid the pregnancy test stick and planned to think about it before telling her husband. Unexpectedly, Wang Gang filed for divorce with her as soon as he came back.
For Xie Meilan, divorce is not out of the question, but Wang Gang can't bring it up, as it will make her seem like she really cheated on Lu Jie.
"Don't worry about the child, I will go to the hospital to abort it." Xie Meilan had no good impression of her husband at this time, and having children would not change her determination to divorce.
Wang Gang hesitated. After all, the child belonged to Shen Lei. He was now Shen Lei and was connected by blood with the child. Moreover, Wang Gang was not an irresponsible man.
"I will raise the child after he is born." Wang Gang sighed: "The child is of Shen family blood after all. I will give it to my parents to raise in the future."
Xie Meilan snorted coldly: "Don't you want a divorce?"
Wang Gang said firmly: "The marriage will be divorced and the children will be taken care of. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, I will compensate you a sum of money."
Xie Meilan looked at Wang Gang in surprise. She didn't expect her husband to say such a thing, but she still said disdainfully: "What do you do to raise your children? It's not enough to support yourself with your dead wages."
"Don't worry about how to raise the child, I have my own way." Wang Gang said to Xie Meilan: "As for beating the child, don't talk about it in the future. He is also a life. How can you bear to kill him."
Xie Meilan hesitated after hearing this, and couldn't help but touch her belly. At this time, she was not pregnant yet, but Xie Meilan still felt the blood connection between mother and child.
"No, we can't have this child. My pregnancy will definitely affect my work." Xie Meilan said stubbornly:
"It took a lot of effort for me to get to where I am now. I took maternity leave after giving birth. When I returned to the company, I might have been replaced by someone else."
Wang Gang frowned and said: "Xie Meilan, are you still stubborn? Because of work, you didn't have time to see your mother for the last time, and now you want to kill your own child because of work!"
Xie Meilan exclaimed: "How do you understand the plight of a woman in the workplace? Look at your sister, she has been a full-time housewife at home for five years for her children, and now it's hard to find a job."
Wang Gang advised: "After all, this is our child, you have no right to abort the baby without authorization."
Xie Meilan said coldly: "You have no right to force me to have a child."
Wang Gang narrowed his eyes, stared at Xie Meilan and asked, "You have to think clearly and don't regret it in the future."
Xie Meilan paused and couldn't help but touch her belly again, hesitation appearing on her face.
Wang Gang said directly: "Fifty million, give birth to the child, and I will give you half a million!"
Xie Meilan was surprised and said: "Where did you get so much money?"
Wang Gang said: "Then don't worry about it. Even if I borrow it, I will raise half a million!"
Xie Meilan lowered her head, thinking that with half a million, she could pay off her debts, and maybe giving birth to a child wouldn't be impossible.
"I want to think about it." Xie Meilan said hesitantly.
"I'll give you time to think about it. You sleep in the bed tonight and I sleep in the living room. I will move out tomorrow," Wang Gang said.
Xie Meilan suddenly walked back to the bedroom angrily, closed the door hard, and locked it.
Wang Gang went to the kitchen to heat up the food he had brought back, and then knocked on the bedroom door.
"You haven't eaten anything all day. Come out and eat some food first. If you don't eat, the children will have to eat too."
The door was opened from inside, and Xie Meilan said angrily: "Are you concerned about the children, or me?"
Wang Gang glanced at Xie Meilan's belly and said calmly: "Divorce doesn't mean we can't be friends."
Xie Meilan grabbed the lunch box and closed the door again. Even she couldn't figure out why she was angry.
"After you finish eating, put the lunch box at the door and I will wash it off."
Wang Gang said, then returned to the dining table and opened his laptop.
One-third of the stories about the Ming Dynasty have been uploaded now, and the click-through rate and subscription rate of the website are very good. It is roughly estimated that the manuscript fee will exceed 50,000 next month.
"Half a million is still not enough." Wang Gang touched his chin and muttered to himself.
A publishing house is willing to publish those stories about the Ming Dynasty. Wang Gang will sign the contract tomorrow, but publishing and selling it will take time, and it will not bring much profit to Wang Gang in a short period of time.
Online subscriptions have stabilized, and subscriptions are unlikely to grow explosively in the future. Wang Gang estimates that the peak subscription fee is 100,000 per month, and will inevitably decline thereafter.
If Wang Gang wanted to get 500,000 yuan in a short period of time, there was another way, which was to sell the copyright. However, this would cause too much loss in the later period, and the gain would not be worth the gain.
"Looks like we still have to trade stocks!" Wang Gang reluctantly clicked on the stock trading software.
In fact, Wang Gang is not short of money. He has a lot of gold and jewelry in his space. He can cash out any money he sells. But as a civil servant, if a large sum of money of unknown origin suddenly appears, he will be in big trouble.
Wang Gang is not afraid of trouble, but he is worried that his parents and family will be implicated.
Although it is not illegal for civil servants to trade in the stock market, you win all the time and never lose. Something is wrong, and the Discipline Inspection Commission comes to you sooner or later, so Wang Gang has not paid attention to the stock market.
"It's better to just fire the civil servants." Wang Gang sighed, took out his mobile phone and looked through his parents' phone numbers, preparing to check what his parents had to say.
When the call was connected, before Wang Gang could speak, his father's voice came over there.
"Hey, Xiaolei, has your mother-in-law's memorial service been finished? Why did it take so long to call back! Is your wife okay?"
"Dad, the memorial service is over. There is nothing wrong with Meilan."
"As long as it's okay, tell Meilan that your mother and I can't make it there. We will definitely be there when your mother-in-law is buried," Father Shen said.
"Okay, I'll tell Meilan whether you and mom are okay!" Wang Gang asked.
"Your mother and I are very close. Your sister just arranged a physical examination for us some time ago. My blood sugar is high, and your mother's blood pressure is high. There is no big problem." Father Shen said.
Wang Gang frowned and said, "Your blood pressure is high, have you taken any medicine? You can't be careless about that."
"Eat it, eat it, your sister bought us a lot of medicine a long time ago." Father Shen complained:
"Your sister is the same. She makes a fuss all the time. How can a person not have some problems when he is old? Your uncle Wang in our village is in his eighties and has high blood pressure. He is still not fine without taking medicine."
"High blood pressure is not a small problem. You must pay attention to it and take medicine for a long time. I will buy you a blood pressure monitor later. You should test it more often and monitor your blood pressure at any time."
Wang Gang doesn't dare to mention divorce and resignation now.
"By the way, the house at home is almost finished. It's beautiful. Your sister and I have discussed that when the house is finished, Zixuan's first-year banquet will be held together with the new house warm-up party. It will be fun. Remember to bring Meilan with you. return."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Gang reluctantly hung up the phone.
