Without discussing the matter of adoption, let him stay with you for now. If this method works and truly brings you a son, then your nephew will remain just that—a nephew. If it doesn’t work, you can consider him your son and let him take care of you in your old age. This is certainly better than adopting a child from outside.
What Old Lady Ma said was ostensibly for the benefit of Ma Lianfa, and indeed, she was genuinely thinking of him. However, she also felt that this opportunity should not be given to outsiders; her grandson should benefit from it. Regardless of whether her eldest son would have children in the future, she wanted her grandson to come to her eldest son’s family. After all, Beijing is far better than their rural home.
Ma Lianfa thought about it and found his mother’s suggestion quite reasonable. Adopting a nephew was indeed more advantageous than adopting a child from outside. He realized that if he adopted from outside and later had his own biological son, he would still have to support the adopted child. It wouldn’t be right to just cast aside the adopted child once he had a biological one, would it?
However, if he had his own son, who would want to raise someone else’s child? Adopting his nephew was different; as his mother said, if he had a son in the future, he could send the nephew back to his parents. If not, he could treat him like his own son. After all, he was his own nephew, sharing blood ties. He would surely be able to care for him in the future.
Having thought this through, Ma Lianfa nodded and said, “Mother, you’ve thought this through well. Let’s do as you suggest.” Old Lady Ma nodded in satisfaction and asked, “Alright then, which nephew do you want to choose?”
After some contemplation, Ma Lianfa replied, “Mother, let’s bring San Shun over.” He thought that Da Shun was already over ten years old and could understand things well by now. Plus, being the eldest son of his younger brother made him an unsuitable choice. Er Shun was six years old and could also help with some chores in the countryside; he was starting to understand things as well.
What should I do if my understanding nephew can't be raised properly?
Only San Shun is left, and he is only three years old, still a little baby who can't do anything.
Given this situation, Ma Lianfa didn't hesitate to choose the youngest, San Shun.
"Fine, if you've chosen him, that's it," Ma Laotai had no objections.
She knew that Ma Lianfa would most likely choose San Shun, after all, Da Shun and Er Shun had grown up and were already sensible.
"Have you discussed this with Er Shun and his family?" Ma Lianfa wondered if his mother had mentioned this to Er Shun or if she was just being overly sympathetic towards him.
"No, I can handle this matter myself. I've already talked to Er Shun; they all agreed."
"But what about Xiao Ying? Shouldn't you discuss it with her? Can you really make this decision on your own?" Ma Laotai asked.
Zhou Xiaoying had gone out to cook and wasn't in the room.
She was unaware of the discussions between the two of them.
"No, I can decide this myself. She doesn't even have a son; what right does she have to stop me from adopting my nephew?" Ma Lianfa replied.
Ma Laotai nodded, knowing that Zhou Xiaoying might not be willing to take on the responsibility of raising a nephew.
However, since the eldest son had agreed, it seemed that Zhou Xiaoying couldn't disregard her husband's wishes.
