Life is more than just living

Chen Xu has too many things to worry about recently. Because there were few people who were kind to her when she was young, she didn't cherish the kindness of others. Now that his eldest brother is under investigation, Chen Xu is worried that something has happened to Lin Zhiyuan and is afraid that Zhao Yuhan's knowledge will affect his mood; Gao Shan is exposed online, and various false rumors make Wang Xue very sad.

What makes Chen Xu even more uncomfortable is that Han Hui has not been in a good mood recently. The reason was that it snowed heavily one day and the study room closed early. The family can finally have a meal together and finally have a chance to chat about homely things.

Lin Zihan and Liu Jingsheng have been married for some time. Although they have not held a wedding, now that they have obtained the certificate, they are already a legally recognized couple. After dinner, Lin Zihan was just about to go back to her room. Han Hui hugged Xiaohua and suddenly asked Liu Jingsheng when she planned to have a child. She said that Xiaohua was old and could be sent to a nursery class. She had enough energy to take care of another child. . Unexpectedly, Lin Zihan said that he had no plans to have children. Han Hui was so angry that she couldn't speak. Lin Zihan didn't think there was any problem at all. He said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, if you want to have fun with your grandchild, hasn't Chen Xu already helped you achieve it? You treat Chen Xu as your own daughter and love Xiaohua very much. That's enough! Jingsheng and I I have no plans to have children.”

Han Hui is still a very traditional person at heart. When she heard that her son-in-law didn't plan to have children, she couldn't accept it. She called Liu Jingsheng over and gave him a scolding. Unexpectedly, Liu Jingsheng said: "Mom, don't worry so much. What's the benefit of having a child? Think about how much you have worried about me in the past thirty years since I was a child. When you have a child, you have to be responsible for it. What if we give birth to a fool? Even if he is not a fool, what if he has other problems? What if he is not taught anything?" Han Hui looked at her son in surprise and said, "You This bastard! I didn't expect you to be such a person, how could you say such a selfish thing!" Liu Jingsheng said, "Mom, calm down, don't scare Xiaohua!" About to hug Xiaohua, Han Hui dodged his hand and said, "Go away, I want to hold the baby and give birth to it myself!" Liu Jingsheng smiled playfully, "Mom, I don't have that function! I'm not a seahorse."

Seeing that Han Huizhen was angry, Lin Zihan looked unhappy, "I'm sorry, Mom, I disappoint you. But we also have our own lives and our own ideas. I won't give birth to a child just to make the old man happy. This is Irresponsible behavior. Because neither Jingsheng nor I have the confidence to take care of a child, and I have no time to think about these things, let alone stop for the sake of the child."

Han Hui was furious when she heard this, "What is the purpose of your career? Just to prove yourself? Can't you even have children for your so-called career?"

Lin Zihan said with great disapproval: "Mom, you have such double standards! After you gave birth to Brother Jingsheng, you could obviously take good care of him! Why did you go out to start a business? The family is not short of money! If If you were starting a business outside and neglected to take care of Brother Jingsheng, how could Brother Jingsheng get sick?"

Liu Jingsheng stopped sternly: "Zihan, don't talk nonsense! It's not because of my mother that I'm sick."

Han Hui was ashamed and angry at her daughter-in-law, and tears flowed down her face. But she was still stuck in her throat and said, "Just because I don't want you to follow my old path, I have to remind you that you can't make enough money, just spend enough. A woman doesn't need to compete with men outside. Next. What is a career? Isn’t it just to do one thing! Do you want to see this result when your whole family helps you? You two don’t even have offspring, so why do you need so much money? What will you do when you get old? "Who will take care of you?"

Liu Jingsheng was about to persuade his mother not to be angry, but Lin Zihan said plausibly, "Mom! We have the right to have children, and we also have the right not to have children. You can't force Brother Jingsheng to do anything just because you are his mother! Besides, raising a child is It's a very sacred and great thing, not just to carry on the family line or have something to depend on in old age. This is a very selfish behavior! Your idea is too narrow. We don't necessarily have to leave a lot of money to our children. Isn't it necessary to give back to the society? A nobler and greater act?"

The always tolerant Liu Weiguo finally spoke, "Zihan, your mother-in-law was too anxious to induce the baby. As a mother, it is understandable to have such thoughts. But what I want to say is: it is your freedom to give birth or not. It's up to you whether you want to give up for the time being or insist on being a DINK. However, as a mother who has raised Jingsheng for more than 30 years, I hope you can respect her and accept you sincerely and treat you as our own child. We are willing to help you and take care of you wholeheartedly. You cannot enjoy the help we provide with peace of mind and at the same time confidently emphasize your independent personality and freedom. To use what you just said, this is too double standard. We won't interfere with your own thoughts and life. From tomorrow on, you can do it at home, hire a nanny, or eat out, it's up to you. I do a good job in the study room and earn a lot of money. Please hire someone to replace me! I want to spend more time with Jingsheng’s mother. She has been married to me for more than years and has not enjoyed much happiness. I am so worried about Jingsheng. It’s time for your heart to rest.”

As soon as Liu Weiguo opened his mouth, Lin Zihan said aggrievedly: "Dad, you misunderstood me. Mom, there may be something wrong with my expression. Don't be angry with me." Han Hui sighed, "Okay, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I'm redundant. Your dad is right, you can live your own life aside! Jingsheng is in his thirties and has a family. I shouldn't stretch my hand too far. Just you. Just be happy.”

Chen Xu sat aside with a complicated expression. She didn't know who to persuade. I never expected that Lin Zihan would have such an attitude towards his parents after starting his career, and he never expected that Liu Jingsheng didn't want children. She was in an embarrassing situation. She thought that Lin Zihan had settled their differences that time when she called her, but she didn't know that after Lin Zihan came to Longcheng, his attitude towards Chen Xu was lukewarm, polite and distant. The relationship between women is sometimes very delicate. .

Lin Zihan saw Liu Weiguo and Han Hui telling them to live independently. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still turned around and left stubbornly. It wasn't until Lin Zihan left that Chen Xu dared to speak, "Mom, don't be angry. The days are still long, and my brother and Zihan are both young. Maybe they will change their minds at some point." Han Hui reached out and touched Chen Xu's hand. Head, she understood Chen Xu's mood. Lin Zihan had always been hostile to Chen Xu, so when everyone was having a tense conversation just now, Chen Xu didn't dare to say anything. Liu Jingsheng no longer has any personal contact with Chen Xu. The better he treats Chen Xu, the more Lin Zihan hates Chen Xu. Liu Jingsheng, who knew this well, tried his best to prevent Lin Zihan from having the opportunity to blame Chen Xu.
