"I won't give up on my son, even if I don't get married. And I've thought it through; even if I do marry, I won't have another child until after Ting Ting finishes high school." Ye Zijun spoke these words after careful consideration. After all, he couldn't guarantee that if he remarried and had a new child, he wouldn't show favoritism.
Since he couldn't make that guarantee, he decided to address the issue from its root. Ye Ting wouldn't be in high school for another ten years, and by then, Ye Ting would be ten years old—old enough to be considered a young adult. As for him, he would be thirty by then. Although that was a bit older, it was still manageable.
Ye Zijun spoke calmly, but to Hao Chunying's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap. "How can you not want children? You only have one child; how can you not want more?" Although Hao Chunying wasn't overly traditional, she did hope for more grandchildren. With only one son, she naturally wished for him to have several children.
Now her son was saying he didn't want any kids for the next ten years—how could that be? "Why not? I already have a son. Besides, what's the use of having so many children?" Ye Zijun's tone was resolute.
"Didn't you say before that one is worth ten?" Hao Chunying found herself at a loss for words as Ye Zijun countered her. That phrase had indeed come from her when she had been criticized by Ye Zijun's grandmother for only giving birth to one grandson. She had said it to silence the old lady.
Now her own son was using her words against her. "It's not that I don't want more; it's just that since Feifei, I haven't been able to get pregnant again," Hao Chunying muttered softly before falling silent.
With Ye Zijun having changed his mind about marriage, Hao Chunying could only turn to Luo Yawen for help. The next day at work, she found Luo Yawen.
"Hey, Luo! Come here; I need to talk to you about something." Hao Chunying waved at Luo Yawen.
Seeing Hao Chunying calling her over, Luo Yawen thought it was about the children's marriage plans. "What do you need me for?" Although she had her suspicions, she still asked.
"Let’s forget about my son and your niece," Hao Chunying said. Though she declined the marriage proposal, her words were polite. "Thanks for your trouble; I'll treat you to dinner sometime."
"No, Lao Luo, how can this be? Haven't they always been chatting well? Why did it suddenly come to an end?"
"You can't be messing with us like this! No, you must give me an explanation." Luo Yawen grew increasingly agitated, feeling that Hao Chunying and her family were being unreasonable.
"Is this how it works? Just say you don't want to and that's it?"
Hao Chunying was no pushover either. Seeing Luo Yawen's furious expression, she remained unfazed.
"What do you mean? Just because my son is engaged to your niece doesn't mean he has to marry her!"
"The chairman has already stated that marriage is a matter of free choice. Does your family still want to force a marriage?" Hao Chunying shot back.
"Who said anything about forcing a marriage? My niece isn't someone who can't find a husband."
"But now you've suddenly changed your mind. You have to give us a reason for that!" Luo Yawen insisted.
"A reason? I'll give you a reason. My son is married and has a child. I haven't hidden that from you, have I?" Hao Chunying asked.
"No, we all know," Luo Yawen nodded in acknowledgment.
"Since you know, then why are you bringing up not wanting to raise my grandson?" Hao Chunying directly confronted Luo Yawen.
