After Wang Gang warned Zhou Bingyi, he was about to return to his room when he happened to see a spark in the kitchen, where Zhou Zhigang was puffing away smoke.
"Dad, you're not asleep yet!"
Zhou Zhigang puffed out smoke and waved to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang walked into the kitchen, then frowned and said: "Dad, didn't I tell you that if you have children at home, you shouldn't smoke!"
"Didn't I hide in the kitchen and smoke?" Zhou Zhigang said angrily, but still put out the cigarette.
"I heard the conversation you just had with your brother. That test tube really costs so much money."
Wang Gang nodded and said: "In vitro fertilization is a new medical technology, and the success rate abroad is not high. It is only suitable for a small number of people, so the fee is expensive.
If the eldest brother really wants to go abroad for medical treatment, he will have to spend not only medical expenses, but also food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars may not be enough."
When Zhou Zhigang heard this, he felt depressed and subconsciously reached for a cigarette, but stopped at the last moment.
"How much money can you make in a year by writing that novel?"
Zhou Zhigang did not ask Wang Gang to lend money to Zhou Bingyi, but asked him about his income, which Wang Gang was quite satisfied with.
"Dad, to be honest, I can lend you this money. What I'm worried about is, what will your brother use to pay you back in the future?" Wang Gang said bluntly.
Zhou Zhigang was silent again, yes! More than 100,000 U.S. dollars, which is more than one million kinds of flower coins.
Not to mention this era when there are few households with ten thousand yuan, even thirty years from now, there will be very few people who can spend more than one million yuan at once.
Of course Wang Gang can borrow it, but what can Zhou Bingyi give in return?
"It's not easy for your eldest brother either. If you don't help him, he may never have children for the rest of his life." Zhou Zhigang sighed.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Dad, did you make a mistake? It is the sister-in-law who cannot have children, not the eldest brother.
The eldest brother doesn’t want to have children, it’s his own choice, no one is forcing him.”
Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "Can I not know? But it's not like you can't see your eldest brother's feelings for your sister-in-law. It's impossible for them to divorce.
The situations of Bingyi and Zhou Rong are different."
Wang Gang spread his hands and said: "I didn't ask my eldest brother to divorce!"
Zhou Zhigang said in surprise: "You want your eldest brother to find a woman outside to have a baby?"
"This might be a way." Wang Gang nodded: "At least the cost is less than going abroad for medical treatment."
Zhou Zhigang cursed loudly: "You bastard, how could you come up with such a harmful idea? He is your eldest brother."
Wang Zangzhang smiled and said: "Isn't it just for the sake of my eldest brother? If he is not my eldest brother, I don't care whether he can have children or not."
Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "I think you have a lot of bad money and have forgotten everything. What do you want to do? Do you want to be the old landlord and marry a few wives?"
The Zhou family attaches great importance to relationships. Once they have identified a partner, they will almost never leave him.
Otherwise, Zhou Rong's divorce wouldn't be a life-and-death struggle.
In fact, if Feng Huacheng hadn't insisted on divorce, Zhou Rong would not have divorced at all.
So she hasn't recovered yet.
Because of his persistence in feelings, Wang Gang's proposal was opposed by Zhou Zhigang on the spot.
"Zhou Bingkun, please don't do anything wrong to Juan'er. She is the best daughter-in-law I have ever seen. If you let her down, don't blame me for being rude." Zhou Zhigang warned Wang Gang.
Zhou Zhigang has seen too many people abandon their useless wives as soon as they become rich and powerful, and then marry new wives who are younger and more beautiful than the last.
"Dad, where are you thinking? I'm telling you about my eldest brother. It's impossible for me to divorce Juan'er in my life."
Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "It's not okay to raise a little one outside."
Wang Gang said speechlessly: "I swear to you, Zheng Juan is the only woman in my life. If I find another woman, I will be cursed to die childless."
Zhou Zhigang scolded: "You swear, just swear, what are you doing to my grandson? Change your oath again."
Wang Gang had no choice but to listen to Zhou Zhigang.
"Your elder brother will not agree to find a woman outside to have a child." After Zhou Zhigang was satisfied, he said to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang explained: "In fact, surrogacy is very common in remote rural areas, and the price is clearly marked. You only need to pay a sum of money after the child is born."
Zhou Zhigang frowned and said, "This kind of thing is not only illegal but also immoral."
Wang Gang spread his hands and said: "Then I have no choice but to let my eldest brother adopt him. But after all, it is not his own child. No one knows whether he will become a white-eyed wolf in the future."
Zhou Zhigang said solemnly: "Where is your kid? Don't you plan to have another child?"
Wang Gang sighed: "Juan'er and I are too busy and really don't have time to raise another child."
Zhou Zhigang said: "If you don't want to have another child, whether it's a boy or a girl..."
Wang Gang didn't wait for Zhou Zhigang to finish speaking before he raised his hand to stop him.
"Dad, if you want to talk about succession, then don't open your mouth."
Zhou Zhigang was speechless after hearing this.
Wang Gang continued: "I put this aside today. No matter how many children Zheng Juan and I have in the future, they will never be raised by outsiders.
I am not Zhou Rong, I can only raise my child."
Zhou Zhigang sighed deeply and said: "I also know that this request is a bit excessive. In fact, I have thought about it for a long time. You and Bingyi are both my sons. Logically speaking, I shouldn't say this, but you still have a chance.
Your elder brother doesn’t have one!”
Wang Gang said with a cold face: "Dad, let me say it one last time, I will not give my child to anyone, not even my eldest brother. Even if you are my father, you are not qualified to let me give my child away."
Zhou Zhigang looked at Wang Gang's eyes and felt cold for the first time.
No matter how the two fathers and sons quarreled in the past, Wang Gang never looked at him like this.
"I know." Zhou Zhigang left the kitchen in low spirits and walked back to his room.
Li Suhua saw Zhou Zhigang walking into the house with his head lowered, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? You're hanging your head."
Zhou Zhigang sighed, sat next to Li Suhua, and told his wife what had just happened.
"You said Bingkun's would not work, but Zheng Juan's would?" Zhou Zhigang asked his wife.
Li Suhua didn't speak for a long time.
"Old man, don't even think about adoption. Even I won't agree to it, let alone Bingkun and his wife." Li Suhua said firmly to Zhou Zhigang.

"What's wrong, aren't I discussing with you?" Zhou Zhigang said.
"This kind of thing is not negotiable." Li Suhua also had a stern face like Wang Gang.
Zhou Zhigang turned around completely, looked at his wife face to face, and said, "Do you want Bingyi to die childless?"
Li Suhua said coldly: "My father, I can promise you all other things, but I will never give in on the child's matter.
If you are worried about Bingyi, can't you think about Bingkun?"
Zhou Zhigang said anxiously: "Bingyi is not an outsider. He is Bingkun's eldest brother. If the child is given to Bingyi in the future, the two families will actually become one family."
Li Suhua said: "How can we be one family? No matter how close the brothers are, they are still two families after they get married. Moreover, Bingkun attaches great importance to his wife and children and will never give his children to others."
"Okay! Let's talk about this later. Maybe Dongmei can be cured!" Seeing how determined his wife was, Zhou Zhigang stopped insisting. He was afraid that if he kept talking, no one would be able to sleep today.
Li Suhua said reluctantly: "Old man, you feel sorry for your eldest son, but you cannot ignore the feelings of your younger son. You must remember that our future pension will be all directed at Bingkun, not Bingyi."
Zhou Zhigang was not happy when he heard this.
"You can't just ignore your eldest son because of your own pension, right?"
Li Suhua sighed and said: "It's not that I don't care about justice, I won't sacrifice one to fulfill the other. As parents, we have to keep a bowl of water balanced, otherwise there will be big troubles in the future."
Zhou Zhigang also sighed and said: "How can a bowl of water be really flat? Bingkun is getting better and better now, and the gap between him and his elder brother and sister is getting wider and wider. I can't help but want to take more care of Bingyi and Ronger."
Li Suhua took Zhou Zhigang's hand and said: "At this time, we must pay more attention. Bingkun's good life is his own ability. We can't ask him to sacrifice himself to supplement his brother and sister just because he has the ability. This
It's wrong.
When a child is in trouble, it is okay for us as parents to try our best to help, but it is not about favoring one and sacrificing the other. If we want to sacrifice, we can only sacrifice ourselves."
Zhou Zhigang looked at Li Suhua in surprise and said, "Who told you these truths?"
Li Suhua laughed and said, "I can't figure it out myself."
Zhou Zhigang sighed: "You have understood many truths since you became a Buddhist. I am not as good as you."
"Of course, otherwise my reading of the Buddhist scriptures would not have been in vain." Li Suhua said proudly: "You! I'd better explain it to Bingkun when I find an opportunity in the future, so as not to hurt the relationship between father and son."
Zhou Zhigang said indifferently: "I am his father, why should I go and apologize to him?"
"You just want to save face and suffer. If you do something wrong, just admit it. There's nothing you can't do to save face." Li Suhua rolled her eyes.
