Chapter 847 The ‘Great’ Mother

Old Master Zhai had given the order. Even if the people from the Zhai family did not take the lead to follow the national policy, they could not go against it openly and set a bad example. Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing could not bear to part with the child, but they had no choice but to go to the hospital.

After examining Miao Jing, the doctor told her that she did not have enough nutrition when she was young. She might look healthy, but she had a weak constitution. Furthermore, she had a second child soon after she had her first child, causing her to be weaker.

Under normal circumstances, it would be good for the pregnant lady to abort the unborn child.

However, Miao Jing’s condition was different. If she aborted the baby, she might endanger her life. Therefore, the doctor recommended her to give birth to the baby.

Miao Jing went to several hospitals to seek advice, and all the doctors gave her the same recommendation.

Zhai Yaohui submitted the report and the higher-ups allowed them to have a second child.

Although the government implemented family planning, they could not disregard human lives. Miao Jing’s condition was a special case. Therefore, it had to be handled differently.

As a result, Miao Jing was able to give birth to Zhai Sheng

The Zhai family had been through a period of stress and anxiety because of this. Although Zhai Hua was still very young, she had some recollections of it till today.

The Zhai family got into a lot of trouble because of having a second child. Although the Wei family merely adopted a child, it would not be easy on them as well. Even if they were from the countryside, they still could not go against the policy.

Unless Wei De’s sister was unregistered in the household.

But it was a fact that his sister was registered under the household. If so, how did the Wei family settle their problem back then?

“Isn’t it strange?” Zhai Hua blinked rapidly, but she could not answer the question. Qiao Nan threw the seed into dustbin easily and washed her sticky hands in the toilet. “I keep hearing that both of you have been talking about marriage. Wei De knows very well about the situation in the Zhai family. But Sister Zhai Hua, you don’t seem to know much about the Wei family. Even if both of you are to stay in Ping Cheng after marriage, you still have to take care of matters related to the Wei family. As I have said, dating only concerns two persons, while marriage involves two families. Actually, you should know why my dad is in a hurry to divorce my mom.”

Zhai Hua knew nothing about the Wei family as they lived far away from Ping Cheng. She heard everything about the Wei family from Wei De, but nobody knew whether he was telling the truth.

“…” Zhai Hua was silent. “Will this have any impact on my life with Wei De in the future?”

She had no contact with people from the Wei family. She only learned about them through Wei De. Now that Qiao Nan mentioned it, Zhai Hua felt a sense of panic that she knew nothing about them.

“Let me put it this way. We know that his sister has a child that is born out of wedlock. She must be very brave to do so in a rural village where it is very conservative. She has to be very capable as well to continue to make a living there. In fact, the sister has good fortune. She was abandoned by her family, but she was adopted by another family right away. As a woman, she has an illegitimate child, but she still has a good life in the village. She is a special woman.”

“Do the villagers take pity on the young lady?” Shi Qing interrupted.

“I suppose. Let’s get back to the topic. The sister has always been staying in the village. The village will grow their own crops and vegetables. It is sufficient for them to survive, but they are unable to make money from farming. I am sure Wei De used to take care of this child. Perhaps it is due to the family environment that I grew up in, or that I am selfish and narrow-minded, but undoubtedly, Wei De will have to take care of the child for three to five years. He may even be responsible for the child even when the child graduates from school and has a job. Perhaps Wei De will earn the money to buy him a house and a car so that he can get married. I heard that the child takes Wei De’s surname, no?”

Shi Qing rolled her eyes. “That is such an exaggeration.”

“You don’t understand.” Qiao Nan shut Shi Qing up. In the future, the economy would be booming and the price of housing would increase tremendously. If a man wanted to get married, the first question that he would be asked was whether he had a house.

China was a nation with a vast amount of land and a very large population. Every place had their own cultures and customs. She also heard that in some places, if the men did not have a house, a car, or money, they could never find a wife.

“Wei De is running a business. He… he does not lack money.” It was nothing much to raise a child.

“Let me ask you. If both of you arrange for the child to study in Ping Cheng, and you have your own children and you need to go to a parent-teacher conference, who will attend whose parent-teacher conference?”

“Sister Zhai Hua will attend the parent-teacher conference of her own child while Wei De will attend the parent-teacher conference of his sister’s child, right?” Shi Qing was confused. She had no idea how this was related to their topic.

“If so, I feel so sorry for Sister Zhai Hua’s child. The child has a father, but the father has no chance to attend the parent-teacher conference.”

“I can go as the child’s aunt!” That would not be a problem. “Qiao Nan, the child is innocent.”

Qiao Nan was exasperated. She looked upward and gave Zhai Hua a thumbs-up. “Sister Zhai Hua, you are so great. You are truly ‘the most adorable’ person in the world. Our fingers have different lengths, and Zhai Sheng is your brother. However, you always complain that Old Master Zhai and the old chief value Brother Zhai more than you, and that they underestimate you as you are a woman. But right now, you are telling me that the child is innocent, and you intend for your child to watch helplessly as someone else’s child gets the love and attention of the parents? I have to thank you on behalf of your future child, for teaching the child since young to share the parents’ love and not to be selfish.”

Zhai Hua was jealous of her brother and bore grudges because of that. Whenever she felt unhappy with her elders at home, she would bring that up and complain that she had suffered all these years.

She could not do what she preached, yet she wanted her child to be able to share the love with someone who was unrelated.

It was the child’s luck to have such a mother. Qiao Nan could only feel sorry for the future child. The child was so pitiful.

“Yes, it can be done. When you have a child with Wei De in the future, you can teach your child to share the parents’ love with someone else. This is what you can tell her: When I was young, I was jealous of my own brother. I am being foolish and I have yet to sort out my thoughts even today. Therefore, as my child, you must do what I am unable to accomplish. Look at your cousin. He is so pitiful. He does not have a father since he was born. You must not be unhappy that your parents treat him well. You must agree to your parents treating him like their own.” Qiao Nan showed Zhai Hua how she should teach her child, imitating the way she spoke. “Sister Zhai Hua, what do you think? I have come up with a way to teach your child. Is it touching? Will your future child be moved by what you say?”
