CHAPTER 277: 277. SORRY, I DON’T WANT TO BE THIS EXAMPLE.

Facing the astonished gaze of the two sisters-in-law, Shuzhen, who felt her face’s thickness multiply since her rebirth, couldn’t help but blush: "Sorry, big sister-in-law. It’s not that I, as a sister, don’t support my big brother’s work, but..."

But the deepest longing that troubled her for so many years is that her eldest son, whom she could never stop worrying about, hasn’t come yet!

The one she owed the most, failed the most, yet cared for her and was the most filial. For her crazy old mom, Yanzi even delayed his own marriage.

To be able to renew the mother-son bond with him, even if it means being stripped of her job and fined massively, Shuzhen wouldn’t mind.

So, big brother, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for not being able to support your work this time and be the positive example in family planning.

Not only will I fail to play that exemplary leading role, but I will also have to strongly drag back the hind legs as a member of the over-birth guerrilla team.

"I understand, I understand. The more children and grandchildren, the more blessings! It’s not like the difficult past years when you worried about supporting them if you wanted more children. Now the conditions are good, and if someone wants to branch out and continue the family line, who isn’t thinking about having more kids? If childbirth wasn’t so painful and educating kids wasn’t such a hassle, I would want to have more too." Seeing her sister-in-law’s face flushing red like a bright red cloth, Wu Yinghong quickly said with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere, being particularly understanding.

Although she didn’t quite understand why Shuzhen, having three sons and three daughters, still wished to continue giving birth.

However, as her sister-in-law and being reborn herself, Wu Yinghong wouldn’t hesitate to support her where she needed it.

After all, knowing how strict and tight the family planning actions were going to be in the coming years, yet still persisting, can only mean her sister-in-law has a reason in her heart for doing so!

Perhaps the nephew or niece planned in her heart is the one she cherished or owed the most in her past life?

Wu Yinghong lowered her eyes, thinking she might have guessed the truth.

After all, didn’t she waver back then, considering putting up with that scum again for her son?

Parents’ hearts are always centered around their children.

If it weren’t for the despicable mother-in-law and greedy sister-in-law, and that person truly being incapable, she wouldn’t have decisively orchestrated everything and quickly fled to Number One Scholar Village.

Though looking back now, she was grateful countless times for her decisive retreat.

"Yinghong, since little sister isn’t going, then just the two of us! We should hurry to get our rings fitted at the hospital before the busy autumn season, while your big brother and Shouyi can help look after the children. In autumn, we’ll have brought them up!" Wu Yinghong suggested with a smile, intending to head to the hospital with Su Hongying.

"Oh, okay, sister-in-law. But, little sister, will you really not reconsider? I heard from big brother that it seems to be quite strict this time, requiring government personnel to set an example. That’s to say, people like you two, who receive government-supplied food and are considered national scientists, will lose their iron rice bowl if you violate policy by having a second child!" Su Hongying frowned, unable to resist telling her sister-in-law about the implications again.

From being a discarded ’scum’ to making it this far step by step, it hasn’t been easy. She didn’t want her sister-in-law to ruin her and her husband’s future on a whim.

After all, being an expert is not just about the title and respect; the benefits are truly delightful!

Moreover, isn’t her sister-in-law’s family already with two sons and three daughters, which is quite ample?

There’s really no need to risk opposing policy, risking both being dismissed...

With the dowry left by the parents-in-law, their own gold bars, and shares in Good Taste, etc.

Money-wise, her sister-in-law really isn’t short.

Su Hongying was just afraid this stubbornness would lead to both of them losing their jobs. Later, if her husband complained, their relationship might end in acrimony.

Though moved by her sister-in-law’s full concern, Shuzhen still firmly shook her head: "Second sister-in-law also knows I’m quite stubborn; once I’ve set my mind, I run straight until the end. I just feel I can give you all a filial, clever and handsome nephew, good in every way. It feels like without this child, my life can’t be complete."

So, even if I lose my job or incur hefty fines,

I’m keeping the original intention and determined to give birth to this child!"

Wu Yinghong understood upon hearing this, knowing this nephew was probably her sister-in-law’s heart’s treasure last lifetime.

Not knowing, Wu Yinghong huffed: "I never saw it; you’re actually sexist! If you want a boy so much, let’s swap between the two families. I have five sons for you to choose from, and you can have all three little ones if you let me have your little Xinqing to be my daughter!"

"I work hard to earn money to marry your three sons while you leisurely cuddle my daughter enjoying the sweetest bond. When Xinqing gets married, you could boss her in-laws around, being the mighty mother-in-law. This kind of deal is definitely a loss; I won’t do it!" Shuzhen shook her head repeatedly, making Wu Yinghong and Su Hongying laugh.

The two sisters-in-law were sent off by Shuzhen just as Lianshan returned from inspecting several seed fields.

After politely sending them off, Lianshan casually asked about the sisters-in-law’s intent.

"Oh, they wanted to implement the family planning policy. The two sisters-in-law wanted to respond to the call actively and tried to drag me to the village hospital for ring fitting!" Shuzhen replied softly, taking a sip of water.

Lianshan frowned upon hearing: "Isn’t it said that ring fitting isn’t 100% contraceptive, and it easily causes various gynecological diseases? There are many ways to prevent pregnancy; you shouldn’t choose something unsafe and disease-prone! Wife, you should decline big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. I can’t bear you suffering for that. Let’s wait until the autumn harvest is busy, then I’ll get sterilized at the hospital, and you won’t have to worry or suffer anymore!"

Like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, Shuzhen was stunned inside and out.

Lianshan’s imagined full sentiment and embrace were nowhere to be seen, only met with a full warning look from his wife.

Then, his collar was snatched, and his wife’s angry voice echoed in his ear: "I finally managed to persuade big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to drag this family planning work back thoroughly. I’m longing, hoping to conceive my eldest son early, and you say you want to get sterilized? Lianshan, listen, retract this thought immediately!

No sterilization, not at least until I’ve conceived our eldest son.

Otherwise, hmph...

You just wait!"
