Hearing this, Qi Yuancheng didn't dare delay any longer and immediately went in to stop them.
Of course, the person he protected most was his wife, Qin Rou. Although the other person was his mother, Qi Yuancheng knew who was best to him.
In the room, Qin Rou cried and said to Qi Yuancheng, “Before the treatment began, I didn't agree to adopt your brother's child, let alone now that you can be treated and we have hope of having a child.”
“Qi Yuancheng, I can't stay under the same roof with her. Make her leave, otherwise, we'll get a divorce!” Qin Rou knew that her mother-in-law bringing her younger brother-in-law's youngest son wasn't Qi Yuancheng's fault, but right now, Qin Rou was venting her anger on Qi Yuancheng. After all, it was his mother.
“Arou, don't talk about divorce. I won't divorce you.” Qi Yuancheng held Qin Rou's shoulders and gently wiped away her tears. “Actually, your thoughts are mine as well. I don't want to adopt my brother's child either. I'll go explain it to my mother right now.”
Saying this, Qi Yuancheng turned and left the bedroom.
Seeing Shuanzi still eating fruit canned food, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him, Qi Yuancheng's eyes turned cold. His younger brother's sons were all spoiled by their parents, and they were very cold-blooded. Just now, when he came in, his mother and Arou were fighting, while Shuanzi, who was protected, was still eating.
Qi Yuancheng couldn't change his younger brother's son, but as Qin Rou said, they absolutely did not want such a child.
Glancing once, Qi Yuancheng came to his mother's room.
As soon as he went in, he faced his mother's accusations against Qin Rou. Bai Lanhua cried pitifully, her words designed to drive a wedge between Qi Yuancheng and Qin Rou.
Qi Yuancheng listened to her without saying a word.
Only after she finished did he solemnly state his position, “Mother, take Shuanzi back. Arou and I will not adopt him.”
“Eldest son, what do you mean? I did this for you! I am doing this for you! You and that woman have been married for so many years and still have no children. She's a hen that can't lay eggs, and…”
“The one who can't have children is me!” Qi Yuancheng's words instantly stopped Bai Lanhua.
Bai Lanhua stared at her eldest son.
“You… are you joking? Are you saying that to protect that woman?”
“Mother, it's my problem. The doctor checked it out, and I've been undergoing treatment recently. The doctor said that as long as I'm cured, Arou and I can have children, so I don't need to adopt my third brother's son. So don't worry about it. Take Shuanzi back to your hometown.” Qi Yuancheng frankly admitted it was his problem, without feeling any shame. At least, he couldn't let Arou be misunderstood anymore.
Originally, he should have gone for treatment at about this time yesterday and today.
But because of his mother's arrival, especially today, he couldn't leave and couldn't go for treatment.
Bai Lanhua was dumbfounded. She wanted to say it was impossible, but seeing her eldest son's serious expression, she understood him. She knew he wasn't lying and was telling the truth.
So, the problem wasn't Qin Rou, but the eldest son?
The eldest son is still undergoing treatment? Can he be cured?!
If the treatment is successful, then the eldest son and Qin Rou will have their own child, and they won't need to adopt the third son's child?
Then, what will happen to the third son's family?
Yes, Bai Lanhua's first reaction wasn't joy at the prospect of her eldest son having his own child, but worry for her third son's family.
They say that fingers are not all of the same length. When you have many children, parents tend to favor some more than others.
Bai Lanhua favored her third son, who she raised since he was young and was sweet-talking.
As for the eldest and second sons, they were raised by her mother-in-law. Especially the eldest son, who joined the army at the age of ten and spent little time with her. But he was the most successful.
Bai Lanhua knew what her third son's family was like: they lacked work ability and had a lackadaisical personality.
Fortunately, the third son and his wife had three sons, while the eldest son and his wife could not have children.
So, she had always planned to have the eldest son “support” the third son's family.
She thought that once the eldest son had no children, everything would belong to the third son in the future.
But now, things suddenly changed. The eldest son is about to have his own child, so what will happen to her third son's family?
Bai Lanhua remained dazed until Qi Yuancheng left, only reacting after a long time.
No, the eldest son can't have children!
If the eldest son has children, her third son's family will have a hard life without the eldest brother's support. Thinking about it, Bai Lanhua felt heartache.
So the eldest son can't have children!
But how can she stop the eldest son from having children?
“No treatment, no children. That's right, the doctor!”
Bai Lanhua quickly came up with an idea. She wanted to find out who was treating the eldest son and see what to do.
-
Gu Jia Ning didn't know that trouble was coming.
After not seeing Qi Yuancheng come for treatment again, Gu Jia Ning only frowned slightly and didn't pay much attention.
Even if she wanted to treat him and let him and Qin Rou have children, if they chose not to be treated, she could do nothing.
This didn't affect Gu Jia Ning's mood.
After work at noon, Gu Jia Ning returned home and saw Sheng Ze Xi had already returned and cooked the food.
Gu Jia Ning was pleasantly surprised, “You're back so early today?”
“Yes, there's good news.”
Gu Jia Ning hugged him and asked with blinking eyes, “What good news?”
“I've been promoted to Deputy Commander. You're the Deputy Commander's wife now.”
Gu Jia Ning's eyes lit up, “Really? That's great! I knew you could do it!”
Sheng Ze Xi was happy seeing Gu Jia Ning happy.
Actually, if it weren't for his father's suppression, he would definitely be more than a Deputy Commander. After completing his last mission, his father could no longer suppress him, so he was promoted.
Speaking of which, in the compound he used to live in, the only one comparable to him was Li Tingxuan from the Li family.
He remembered that Li Tingxuan was now a regimental-level cadre.
However…
Before, when his mother was alive, he and Li Tingxuan were both considered model children by others. After his mother passed, he became the “disobedient son” in his father's mouth, and Li Tingxuan became his foil.
Thinking of Li Tingxuan, Sheng Ze Xi recalled something. He heard from his comrades in Beijing that Li Tingxuan planned to apply for a transfer to the Northwest Military Region.
Why?
Sheng Ze Xi found it very strange.
After all, anyone with eyes could see which was the better posting, the Northwest Military Region or the Beijing Military Region.
Why would Li Tingxuan want to go to the Northwest Military Region?
