Chapter 628: Zhou Rong returns, the tough Zheng Juan
Jin Yueji saw her daughter's urging and her son-in-law's embarrassment.
At this moment, her mood was undoubtedly complicated, because when her daughter made this suggestion just now, she was also tempted.
Her daughter has no children, which is a pain in her life. If she can adopt a biologically related child, she will definitely support it with both hands.
As she got older, she actually longed to have a child by her side so that she wouldn't be so bored.
There is no adoptive child in their family, but there is a child in the Zhou family, and it is a newly conceived child.
Adoption is a helpless move, but if you can adopt a child who has not grown up and has no self-awareness, it is undoubtedly the best thing.
But she also knew that with the current relationship between their family and Zhou Chen, it would be really difficult for Zhou Chen to adopt his unborn child to him.
When she heard her daughter say that she wanted her in-laws to help, she frowned unconsciously.
"Dongmei, please don't mess around with this matter. You should listen to Bingyi's advice."
Hao Dongmei looked at her mother in confusion: "Why? Mom, don't you hope that our family can have a child? I have been in the obstetrics and gynecology department for so many years. Every time I see other people holding children, my mood changes.
It’s extremely uncomfortable, and you won’t understand.”
Jin Yueji hurriedly advised: "Dongmei, I don't mean what you think. I mean, if you want to adopt Zhou Bingkun's child, it would be unwise to ask his parents to come forward."
"Why? I have some understanding of Zhou Bingkun's character. Although he is very strong and sometimes indifferent, he is really very kind to my mother-in-law. If my mother-in-law speaks, he will definitely consider it."
"Dongmei, what you think is indeed right, but it is too one-sided. It is true that Zhou Bingkun is a filial person, but the premise of all this is that his interests will not be touched. What's more, he is a very domineering and very filial person.
If you want to make a selfish person compromise through your in-laws, it is simply impossible."
As soon as Jin Yueji finished speaking, Zhou Bingyi agreed: "Dongmei, what mom said is right. I also think that Bingkun cannot listen to my parents on this matter."
The flame of hope was extinguished, and Hao Dongmei shouted angrily: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Jin Yueji didn't care about her daughter's attitude. She knew that her daughter had a bad mentality and was easily led astray by her own emotions whenever big things happened.
"If there is someone who can change Zhou Bingkun, there is only one person, and that is Zheng Juan."
"Zheng Juan?"
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were both surprised when they heard Jin Yueji's words.
Hao Dongmei couldn't understand what her mother meant. She said, "Mom, you may not know Zheng Juan. She is a very simple wife. She belongs to the type of good wife and mother. She obeys everything at home.
Zhou Chen, it is simply impossible to expect her to convince Zhou Chen."
Although Zhou Bingyi felt that his mother-in-law had more experience than them, he also agreed with Hao Dongmei on this matter.
"Mom, what Dongmei said is right. Zheng Juan is a person with no independent opinions. She is indeed a good wife and mother. She can be filial to the elderly, take good care of the children, and take care of the Zhou family very well. But she is a relatively old society person at heart.
As a person, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the three obediences and the four virtues are important, but my brother is absolutely the main priority in everything."
"And to be honest, it is really her blessing that she can marry into our family. With Bingkun's conditions at the time, she will definitely be able to find someone better than her. So, I hope she, a primary school graduate, can convince me
For someone like my younger brother, I think it would be more realistic for my parents to talk to Bingkun."
Jin Yueji looked at her daughter and son-in-law and asked, "You all think so?"
"Isn't it right?"
"Yes, but not entirely right."
Jin Yueji gave an ambiguous answer, sitting upright and said: "The evaluation you gave is good, a good wife and mother, Zheng Juan is definitely worthy of it, but you want to say that she has no opinion, no ability, and is not worthy of Zhou Bingkun.
I don’t agree with it.”
"A woman's ability is not judged by her achievements outside, but by how well she takes care of a family. Zheng Juan has been married into your Zhou family for more than ten years. No matter whether she is an elderly person or a child, she has never
The ability to let others worry about it alone exceeds that of most women in the world."
"You think Zheng Juan has no opinion and listens to Zhou Bingkun on everything, but in my opinion, this is exactly the opposite. The reason Zheng Juan is willing to listen to Zhou Bingkun is because she thinks Zhou Bingkun is right."
"Look at Zhou Bingkun again. In your eyes, he is a very domineering, self-willed and impersonal person. His relationship with many people, including you, is not good. But in fact, he is a very filial person. You
Have you ever seen him quarrel with your mother? Have you ever seen him quarrel with Zheng Juan? "
"Zhou Bingkun is a man who respects his wife very much. You only see that Zheng Juan listens to him in everything, but you don't see that he actually respects Zheng Juan. I can guarantee that if anyone can make him change his mind willingly, then it is
There is only Zheng Juan."
"In this regard, he is actually somewhat similar to Dongmei's father."
After listening to Jin Yueji's analysis, Zhou Bingyi was thoughtful, while Hao Dongmei looked suspicious.
"is that so?"
Zhou Bingyi said: "Dongmei, I think mom's analysis is very reasonable. How about we talk to Zheng Juan?"
Jin Yueji said: "You can talk to Zheng Juan, but it must not be now. Zheng Juan has just been pregnant for a short time. If you go to her at this time and something unexpected happens, you cannot bear the responsibility."
"Then when should we talk to Zheng Juan?" Hao Dongmei asked.
"Wait until she gives birth to a child. Zheng Juan must be full of maternal love at that time, and her chances of success will be greater."
Jin Yueji's scheming convinced both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei.
…………
Zhou Chen naturally had no idea that his unborn child was already being targeted. His main focus now was on Zheng Juan, and his career was put aside.
The days were lived simply and happily. A few months passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was time for Zheng Juan to give birth.
Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to take Zheng Juan to Yanjing Hospital to give birth, but Zheng Juan couldn't worry about her three children and felt that it was not good for her to run around with a big belly, so she finally chose to give birth in Jichun.
Through Hao Dongmei's relationship, I found the best single room in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.
Because she was pregnant with twins, it became very difficult for Zheng Juan to move in the final stage. In addition, she was an advanced maternal age, and one of them was fine. In the case of twins, the risk of a natural delivery was too great.
In the end, Zhou Chen made a decision. For the safety of adults and children, he chose a caesarean section.
Caesarean section surgery was not a problem for Zhou Chen, but at this time he felt that it was better to be cautious and not do it by himself, and he was not confident about Jichun's doctor, so he spent a lot of money to hire a senior teacher from Yanjing to come to Jichun to help.
The caesarean section went very smoothly. Zheng Juan gave birth to two babies, but they were not twins as everyone had guessed, but a pair of twins.
The birth of twins filled the Zhou family with joy. Even Zheng Guangming, who was far away in Pengcheng, came back thousands of miles to accompany Zheng Juan.
When the couple was one month old, Zhou Chen organized a grand party. Dozens of tables of relatives and friends came. Even people from the province and city came to give blessings, so that all the relatives and friends of the Zhou family could see Zhou Chen.
of majesty.
When the child was one month old, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng also came back from the capital Yanjing to participate.
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, who had participated in the full moon ceremony, did not leave Jichun immediately, but stayed at home.
In fact, their return to Jichun this time was not just for their nephew's full moon ceremony, but also had some plans of their own.
In Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua's room, Zhou Rong and the old couple were sitting together chatting, with Feng Huacheng sitting next to them.
"Mom, you haven't been in Yanjing for more than a year. Hua Cheng and I are the only ones staying there. It's really lonely. We don't even have a place to run out of the house during our rest time."
Zhou Rong held her mother Li Suhua's shoulder and complained about her lonely life in Yanjing for more than a year.
Li Suhua patted Zhou Rong's hand and said, "During your break, you can go for a walk with Hua Cheng. Yanjing is such a big place, and Hua Cheng is a poet. It will be good for you to walk around more."
Hearing Li Suhua say that Feng Huacheng was a poet, Zhou Rong's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction unconsciously, because she looked down upon Feng Huacheng's actions over the years.
In the past, she was willing to go to your province to find Feng Huacheng regardless of danger. That was because she admired him. But with these years of life, Feng Huacheng is no longer the poet she admired before, but has become more than ordinary people.
Tacky.
How brilliant Feng Huacheng was before, but how humble and insignificant Feng Huacheng's achievements are now.
Let’s not talk too far, just take herself as an example. She has been making progress over the years, developing in a good direction, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes an associate professor.
Compared with her, Feng Huacheng is really a bit lethargic, cowardly and incompetent.
Zhou Rong suddenly rolled her eyes and asked, "Mom, what do you think about me and Hua Cheng returning to Jichun to work?"
"ah?"
Li Suhua suddenly exclaimed, and even Zhou Zhigang's expression became serious.
"Rong'er, you're not joking, do you really want to go back to Jichun?"
"We had this idea, mainly because we were too lonely in Yanjing and couldn't see my daughter even if I wanted to. Jichun University sent me a letter before, saying that it wanted to invite me to teach at their school, but I kept thinking about it again and didn't.
make a decision."
Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang looked at each other, and then said: "Rong, of course your dad and I hope you can come back. If you can come back, our family can be reunited. In the eyes of your dad and I, there is nothing better than a family."
There is nothing better than being reunited and living happily."
Zhou Rong said in surprise: "Then you mean that you agree with me and Hua Cheng returning to Jichun to work?"
Zhou Zhigang interrupted: "Rong'er, your mother and I will definitely not object, but you have to think carefully about it yourself. I heard Bingkun said that Yueyue and Ruirui will still have to return to Yanjing when they are in their senior year of high school, and
You will take the college entrance examination there, and you will probably go to university there in the future. If you come back at this time, it may not be easy to see Yue Yue in the future."
"Yes, what your dad said makes sense, Ronger, you have to think about it carefully."
Zhou Rong frowned. She had not thought of this. What she had considered before was that she and Feng Huacheng had no one to rely on in Yanjing, and their career development was not smooth.
If they can return to Jichun, they will definitely have much more opportunities than Yanjing, especially Feng Huacheng. The Jichun Writers Association is definitely incomparable to the Yanjing Writers Association. Feng Huacheng was not taken seriously in Yanjing, but when he returned to Jichun
, it must be praised.
Over the years, the achievements of her elder brother and younger brother have filled Zhou Rong's heart with eagerness. She has always been arrogant and arrogant, and it's okay to be inferior to her eldest brother. She was actually dragged down by her younger brother who she used to look down on.
Now that she has recognized the reality, she will never be able to compete with Zhou Chen in this life. As long as she can develop better and let her daughter change her mind and return to them, she will be satisfied.
After thinking carefully for a while, Zhou Rong still felt that the development of herself and her husband was more important. Only if she developed well could she win back her daughter in the future.
"Dad, Mom, we have thought it over carefully and still want to return to Jichun."
…………
Zhou Rong is also a man of action. After making a decision, he stopped delaying and started preparations when he returned to Yanjing.
In less than half a month, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng returned to Jichun.
Zhou Rong went to Jichun University to become a teacher, while Feng Huacheng joined the Jichun Writers Association. At this moment, they both have great ambitions and want to show their talents in Jichun.
Since Zhou Chen's twins were born, Hao Dongmei would visit the child almost every day. Even if the child returned home, she would stop by Zhou's house to see the child every time she came back from get off work.
Looking at her two newborn children, she was even happier than Zheng Juan as a mother. Especially when she saw the baby boy, her eyes lit up.
After the child was born, she thought about it carefully. According to normal people's thinking, the son must be more important, but she knew that Zhou Chen was not the type to favor sons over daughters, not to mention that Zhou Chen already had two sons.
.
Under this premise, she felt that Zhou Chen should care more about her daughter.
And in her heart, of the two babies, a boy and a girl, she definitely prefers the boy. The adopted child is also a child in name only, so a son is definitely better.
So her goal is to be the son named Zhou Jia by Zhou Chen.
Shortly after the child was one month old, Zhou Chen went to Pengcheng again for company matters, and it was during this period that Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi started taking action.
In order to succeed, Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi called Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua into the room, and then told Zheng Juan their purpose.
Zheng Juan was quite grateful that her sister-in-law often came to visit her, but when she learned from Hao Dongmei that she actually wanted to adopt her child to her eldest brother, her heart suddenly thumped, and she felt strong dissatisfaction in an instant.
She is a gentle person who rarely loses her temper, but she also has her own bottom line.
When she was pregnant with these twins, she suffered much more pain than the previous two births. These two were still the flesh of her body. How could she be willing to adopt them to others, even her husband's biological eldest brother and sister-in-law?
.
So she gave her answer almost without hesitation.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I can't make the decision on this matter. You should wait until Bingkun comes back and discuss it with Bingkun."
Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she could not refuse openly, but directly pushed the problem to Zhou Chen. She knew her husband and knew very well that he would not give away his child.
Hao Dongmei started her misfortune: "Juan'er, we know that Bingkun will not agree easily, so we come to beg you. We have been relatives for more than ten years. Although we have some minor conflicts with Bingkun, we are always a family.
You should also know that Bingyi and I have worked hard for our children over the years. We really have no choice; we were already in despair at first, but when we saw Jiajia and Xiaolingdang, we were really hopeful, so..."
Seeing Hao Dongmei crying as she spoke, Zheng Juan looked very sympathetic, but she was sympathetic, and she really couldn't do it if she was asked to give her child away.
Not to mention how many children their family now has, they can all afford to raise them. Even if they can't raise them, no matter how hard and tiring they are, she will not give her children away.
So no matter how miserable and sincere Hao Dongmei said what she said, she never let go.
Zhou Zhigang sat next to him and wanted to take out a cigarette several times, but he held himself back.
In fact, since Zhou Chen asked him to go out to work, he has been focusing on his work and rarely smokes. Recently, due to the birth of his little grandson, he has rarely smoked at home. He couldn't bear it any more, so he ran outside.
In the yard, or lying at the window to smoke two.
Before coming to see Zheng Juan, the eldest son and daughter-in-law had already told them about this matter.
To be honest, he has no objection in his heart, because whether the child stays with Zheng Juan or is raised by Hao Dongmei, it is the same to him. They are all his grandsons anyway, and this will not change.
The reason why he didn't object was naturally because the eldest son and his wife were infertile and would never have children in this life, but he couldn't bear to see his eldest son's lineage cut off.
He had thought about this idea when Zhou Cong was born, but that year he and Zhou Chen had a fierce quarrel, and later Zhou Chen had a conflict with Zhou Bingyi.
Over and over again, several years passed. Zhou Cong grew up and became sensible, and the adoption matter was forgotten by him.
But with the birth of his little grandson and granddaughter, his eldest son and his wife came to him to intercede, and he was really moved.
After a long silence, Zhou Zhigang couldn't help it anymore when he saw that Zheng Juan still didn't express his opinion. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Li Suhua, who was sitting next to him, suddenly grabbed his arm and shook his head.
Zhou Zhigang understood what his wife meant. He thought for a moment, but still did not speak.
Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang listened to her advice and felt relieved.
In fact, like her husband, she is not opposed to adoption, but she is not willing to say this. They are parents, but she feels that the children have grown up and this kind of thing should be solved by themselves.
What's more, they are living with their younger son now. The younger son and his wife are so good to them, so she definitely doesn't want to favor the older son.
If Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan are willing to adopt, she will definitely be happy, but if they are unwilling to adopt, she will not object.
This was also the reason why she did not directly agree to help when her eldest son and daughter-in-law came to them.
They are all people who have one foot in the coffin board. She doesn't want to have any conflicts with her youngest son because of this matter.
Both the eldest son and daughter are unreliable. If you don’t count on the younger son, how can you still count on them?
Hao Dongmei had all the nice things to say, but Zheng Juan always had only one answer, that is, wait until Zhou Chen comes back to talk about everything.
Hao Dongmei had no choice but to dare to offend Zheng Juan, so she could only return disappointed.
