Ch 146: Consider It Child Support For The Two Grandchildren

And all these years, Sheng Xin Hao has been a less-than-competent father.

Consider this money as Sheng Xin Hao’s child support for Little Xi.

“It’s just that Little Xi might not be able to have children in his life.” Speaking of children, the elderly couple sighed.

Sheng Ze Xi’s health problems were not discussed with Sheng Xin Hao, only with them.

Of course, they also didn’t want Sheng Xin Hao to know. Otherwise, with Sheng Xin Hao’s old-fashioned ways, once he saw that Little Xi couldn’t have children, his favoritism towards Little Xi would probably shift to his youngest son.

Sheng Xin Hao is a very pragmatic man.

“Didn’t Little Xi say before that Ningning’s medical skills cured him? Maybe there will be good news soon.” Grandfather Sang comforted.

Grandmother Sang sighed, “I hope for a great-grandchild, boy or girl, but I even more hope that Little Xi can have children, so that Little Xi’s life will be complete.”

For the older generation, a man’s life is considered complete when he has a wife he loves, children he cherishes, and understands his responsibilities as a husband and father.

That way, even when they are old, they won’t be lonely.

Just then, the telephone suddenly rang.

Grandfather Sang got up to answer it, saying as he walked, “You know, we’re just talking about Little Xi and Ningning, could it be them calling?”

“Possible.” Grandmother Sang also went over.

As soon as Grandfather Sang picked up the phone, he heard Sheng Ze Xi’s familiar voice calling him Grandfather.

Grandfather Sang was instantly delighted, “It really is Little Xi! Your grandmother and I were just talking about you and Ningning.”

“It’s really Little Xi, I’ll answer.” Grandfather Sang didn’t argue with his wife and gave her the phone.

“Little Xi, it’s Grandmother. How are you recently? Is Ningning alright?”

“Good, we’re both good.”

After exchanging pleasantries with his grandmother, Sheng Ze Xi said, “Grandmother, Ningning is right here with me. We’re calling to tell you and Grandfather some great news today.”

“Great news?” For them, the great news would probably be Ningning’s pregnancy, but is it possible?

And the next second, Sheng Ze Xi’s words came from the other end of the phone, “Grandmother, Ningning is pregnant! It’s been three months, and it’s twins!”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in Grandmother Sang’s ears.

Her eyes widened, her hand holding the receiver trembled, and she looked at the old man beside her, speechless with excitement.

After a long while, she used her other hand to take the old man’s arm and said, “Did you hear that? Little Xi said Ningning is pregnant, three months, and it’s twins!”

“Really?!” Grandfather Sang was also overjoyed.

“Good, good.” They had just been talking about Little Xi having children, and now they received such a big surprise.

Ningning is pregnant, three-month-old twins, two at once! Wonderful, wonderful!

“Let Ningning answer the phone. I want to talk to Ningning.”

Soon, Gu Jia Ning answered the phone.

On the phone, Grandmother Sang gently cared for Gu Jia Ning’s health and inquired about the babies.

She also carefully talked about many things to pay attention to during pregnancy.

When she learned that Gu Jia Ning was doing well, she was relieved.

“Ningning, why don’t I go to the Northwest Military Region to take care of you? Otherwise, you’ll be too tired.” Grandmother Sang suggested.

Anyway, she was different from the old man. The old man needed to work, but she didn’t, and besides, she was in good health.

“Grandmother, no need. I’m doing fine now, and it’s only been three months.”

“But your belly will grow bigger. What about confinement? Who will take care of you, who will take care of the children?”

Gu Jia Ning mentioned that her mother would come to help with her confinement.

“That’s good, but the babies also need care, and since it’s twins, when you’re further along, there will certainly be inconveniences. Grandmother should still come.”

In the end, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t refuse the elderly woman and agreed with Grandmother Sang that when she was further along in her pregnancy, Grandmother Sang would go to the Northwest Military Region to take care of her.

When the phone was passed back to Sheng Ze Xi, Grandmother Sang exclaimed, “I didn’t expect Ningning to be pregnant, and with twins! Now asking Sheng Xin Hao for money isn’t wrong; these are his grandchildren, he should support them.”

Hearing the name Sheng Xin Hao, Sheng Ze Xi frowned, “Grandmother, what’s going on?”

Grandmother Sang didn’t hide anything and directly told him about Sheng Xin Hao coming to ask them to persuade Sheng Ze Xi and Ningning to get a divorce, and about him wanting the house and half of their deposit.

The more Sheng Ze Xi listened, the darker his face became.

“Grandmother, there’s something else you don’t know. Ningning is amazing! She’s a doctor in the Northwest Military Region now. Not long ago, a landslide occurred in a village near us, and Ningning participated in the rescue and received an award…”

“Oh, I knew Ningning was a good one. It’s just Sheng Xin Hao, he’s clueless! His eyes are covered in dung, otherwise he wouldn’t have married that two-faced woman.”

As a woman herself, and with so many years of experience, Grandmother Sang has met countless people.

She can tell who’s good and who’s bad at a glance.

That Fang Wanrong is two-faced. Only Sheng Xin Hao, blind as he is, would be deceived and think that woman is good.

“Little Xi, your grandfather and I will get those things for you. If he really sends them, or sends you money, accept it as compensation, as child support for the two grandchildren.”

“Accept it with peace of mind, otherwise, who knows when that woman will trick you out of it.”

“Grandmother, I understand.” Initially, Sheng Ze Xi was indeed somewhat resistant to taking anything from Sheng Xin Hao. He didn’t want anything from Sheng Xin Hao, nor did he need his help.

But Grandmother’s words made sense.

Some of those things belonged to his mother, who, although unwilling to acknowledge or get close to him, still shared blood ties. So he deserved some things.

Besides, he wasn’t alone anymore. He had a wife and children to support.

The money, the siheyuan, the house—all good things. He knew his little wife was a little money-grubber.

“Good to know.” Grandmother Sang was very relieved. She was afraid Little Xi would be stubborn.

But now, it seemed that after meeting Ningning and getting married, Little Xi had changed a lot.

This is good.

“If he dares to come later, Grandmother will continue to take things from him, and I’ll give everything I take to you.” Grandmother Sang was determined to take everything from Sheng Xin Hao, that irresponsible man, and give it to her grandchildren.

Sheng Ze Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xin Hao, who was leaving home with the house deed to transfer ownership, suddenly shivered, looked up at the sky, and frowned. The early spring weather in Beijing was still a little cold.
