Xue Yang let go of his hand, his bright handsome face was confused and embarrassed, and he lowered his head again, seeming very uncomfortable.
"Dad...I..." He hesitated to speak, and there seemed to be a hint of swallowing 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?
Because of what?"
Xue Yang hesitated: "She... is still crying outside."
Cheng Tianyuan glared at his son with dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxiao married thousands of miles away, and her parents are not around.
No matter what happens, try to accommodate her first.
She had a big belly when she married into our family, and it is not easy to give birth to two children at such a young age!"
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 teach his son: "We have an elder and a younger child in our family. She has to face so many strange relatives as soon as she enters the house, and it is inevitable that she will feel aggrieved occasionally.
If she marries you, she can only get along with your family and is forced to accept your relatives as relatives.
Everyone lives under the same roof, and 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 our big family, and it must be much harder for her than it is for you! Give her more, and care more about her, 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.
Usually, I should coax her more and consider her feelings more."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement and ordered: "Go and coax her in quickly! Go quickly!"
!! Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling looked at each other instinctively, and both froze in shock.
Xue Yang burst into tears: "Ever since she gave birth to her child, we all knew that our financial conditions and practical situation could not allow us to have a second child so soon, so we have been using contraception.
Unexpectedly, one time she was too busy and forgot to take birth control pills, and the child became pregnant accidentally.
She has been feeling nauseous in the morning for the past two days, and she also said it felt a bit like she was pregnant before.
She and I were secretly afraid, so we quietly went to the hospital in the afternoon for a checkup... Sure enough, we were pregnant again, and it's been a month and a half."
"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 good that the child is fine.
By the way, where is Xiaoxiao?
Quickly coax her in!"
"no!"
Xue Yangteng stood up excitedly, frowned and said harshly: "Dad! Mom! Why have you listened for most of the day, but you can't get the key points I said! I mean our financial situation and actual situation are really not suitable for having a second child now.
!My company has just started. I finally made a few profits last year, and I will 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 and strive for a career.
We can no longer take care of Xiaoyu and Xiaopeng. 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 afford children.
Now these two are overwhelmed, how can we get one more! "I know you all love Xiaoxiao and your grandchildren, but I can't let Xiaoxiao give birth one after another like a sow.
Because of competitions and training, she stopped studying at university and was unable to graduate for several years.
Now that she is about to graduate, she still has to pursue her career.
If there is one more baby, we can't hire another nanny, right?
Not to mention the cost, Xiaoxiao is not good at not caring about her three children.
In 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 loves children.
Xiaoxiao is also reluctant to let go of the child...but I can't persuade her to give birth! If I say such a thing, what qualifications do I have to talk about loving her and caring for 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 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 child.
Xiaoxiao is so kind and loves children so much that she is reluctant to let them go."
Xue Yang's mouth moved and he whispered: "She didn't say anything... she just kept crying.
I know she feels very sad in her heart.
Mom, the situation this time is very different from last time.
We didn't have children at the time, so it was understandable that she was reluctant to let go.
But what’s difficult for her this time is that she’s about to graduate and find a job. Now we can’t even take care of the two children we’ve already given birth to, and there’s no way we can spare the time to give birth to another child.
We only have so much energy, there are only 24 hours in a day, and we don’t have a lot of heads or arms.”
He had never given birth to a child before, nor had he taken care of a child before. Only now did he realize that raising a child is really not easy! The expenses are as high as a mountain, and every one of them is a real gold-swallowing beast.
Not to mention money, time is even more important. As long as the 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! “Don’t be anxious yet.”
Xue Ling gave up when she was tired: "There is always a solution to everything.
Xiaoxiao is still pregnant with the child, so it’s not good for her to cry all the time.
You go and coax her to come in first, saying that her parents already know and let her come in to discuss it with us.
If we don't know, you can make your own decisions.
But since you told us to know, we naturally can't ignore it."
