Chapter 197 Adopting a Child
The father-in-law nodded: "Yes...Haohao always told me not to tell Xiaowen, for fear that Xiaowen would be angry with him."
Upon hearing this, Si Wen was petrified and his heart skipped a beat.
She stared at her father-in-law in shock, her eyes red: "Did Luo Hao... really say such words to you?"
"My son loves you too much and has always followed your ideas. He wants a child so much, but he doesn't dare to go against your wishes or ask you to do something you don't want to do. He really loves you too much."
Mei Ling'er watched her father-in-law's performance and pursed her lips.
"Si Wen will never have children in this life."
"Really?" When the father-in-law heard Mei Ling'er's words, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, but the next second his face turned into a look of pain.
He said with regret, "Xiao Wen, did you hear what Master Ling said? Haohao also said before that he was worried about your poor health as you get older, and wanted to adopt a child. But you said that if you want a child, you want to have it yourself. Now it seems that you can only adopt."
The mother-in-law gently placed her hands on Si Wen's shoulders and advised in a gentle tone:
"Xiao Wen, don't be sad. An adopted child will be just as dear to you when he or she grows up. Didn't you always say that giving birth was painful? Now it's good, you don't have to give birth anymore."
My father-in-law urged, "Xiao Wen, adopt a child quickly. Didn't you and Haohao go to the orphanage before? Haohao said he particularly liked a little boy."
"That's right!" Grandma glanced at Si Wen cautiously. "I heard that there are more families wanting to adopt that little boy than ours. We have to hurry!"
Si Wen still looked unconcerned.
She has always hoped not to have children in this life.
If Luo Hao hadn't suddenly said that he wanted a child, she would not have compromised with him in order to make her lover happy, otherwise she would not have embarked on the difficult journey of having a child.
But she really didn't want to adopt a child. She didn't even want her own child, so how could she take care of someone else's?
"Dad, Mom! Let's put the adoption matter on hold..." Although he felt very sorry for the two elderly elders.
The mother-in-law was anxious: "Xiao Wen, don't you believe what Ling Daxian said?"
"But you've done a lot of tests and even had injections, but you still can't get pregnant! If you can't get pregnant, why don't we adopt one? Haohao also suggested adopting one before, but you insisted on trying it yourself and having your own child."
Si Wen looked embarrassed: "Mom! A child is not an object. Adopting a child means you have to be responsible for him, love him and take care of him. I really can't guarantee that I can do that. I really can't be a good mother."
My father-in-law sighed and said in a compromising manner, "Then let's adopt the second plan we discussed before. Your mother and I will adopt a child, and you and Haohao will give us five million. Since you don't want to raise the child, we will raise it for you, and the child will also take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
Si Mei didn't expect her father-in-law to say this. Luo Hao had also told her about this plan before.
Si Mei thought of her gentle and considerate lover, and her heart softened.
She also understood her in-laws' desire for a child. After all, some people didn't want children, while others did. And five million wasn't a lot; she planned to give her in-laws at least ten million.
She nodded calmly and finally agreed.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, Dad. I'll transfer the money to your account today."
At this time, Mei Ling'er saw the prompt on the white wall and asked:
"In order to get Si Mei and Luo Hao married, you promised to follow Si Mei's wishes regarding having children. They've been married for ten years. What's the reason you can't keep your promise and insist on adopting a child? Can all vows in this world be revoked?"
When Si Mei heard Mei Ling'er say this, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
[Fang Hui: So, vows can't measure loyalty, nor can they judge right or wrong. They can only prove that at the moment they were spoken, both parties were sincere.]
[When her husband was pursuing her, he must have thought he would never break his promise, but reality always gives people a slap in the face.]
"They've been married for ten years, and they never mentioned having children before. Why are they suddenly bringing it up now? And if my parents-in-law want a child, they can just raise it themselves. Why should Si Mei pay for it? No one's money comes from the wind."
[Her husband also wanted a child, so it was only natural for the young couple to pay for it. This money was paid by the young couple, so it can be considered that her husband adopted the child, and her parents-in-law raised him.]
The mother-in-law said, "Yes, Haohao often envies his brothers who have children. Although the children are raised with us, in the final analysis, we are also raising them for the young couple."
Mei Ling'er snorted and laughed: "Is it raised for the young couple, or is it specially raised for your son?"
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!" Grandma stammered nervously, "Of course... it's for the young couple!"
Barrage: There is something fishy!!!
"I've said it before, your son and Si Mei will never have children in this life, whether biological or adopted."
Mei Ling'er paused and smiled slightly: "But this doesn't mean that your son won't have children."
One sentence petrified my mother-in-law.
My father-in-law also became a wooden man.
Si Mei was even more confused.
After a long time, the mother-in-law finally woke up from her dream and raised her voice and said:
"How could my son have a child? Stop talking nonsense here!"
Mei Linger smiled again and said, "You should ask your son why he can't control his lower body."
"You lunatic, you're talking nonsense here!" the mother-in-law cursed angrily.
Mei Ling'er's eyes fell on Si Mei, who was shocked. "Ask your good husband how many mistresses he had, how many lovers he has now, and how many children those women gave birth to him. Is five million enough to support those children? How many children can his family bring home in the name of adoption?"
Si Mei's clear eyes were stained with scarlet as she retorted, "What you said is not true! My husband and I are each other's first love. I am the only woman in his life. He never even glances at other women!"
When the mother-in-law saw her daughter-in-law speaking for her son, she immediately joined in:
"Yes! Haohao only loves Xiaomei in this life!"
The father-in-law also changed his previous admiring attitude and spoke harshly to Mei Ling'er:
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of anchor! My wife and I thought you were some kind of sage. Xiaomei is right, you're just a scammer out to rip people off!"
Si Mei's face had become very ugly.
Mei Linger said calmly: "Whether what I said is true or not, Luo Hao's seven children are the best proof."
