Chapter 158 He Tingchuan confesses
New Year’s greetings are celebrated on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
He Zizhen and He Ziqian went out with small rice cakes in their arms to pay New Year's greetings in the courtyard. This is their tradition.
Yun Jin was very relieved, and Xiao Nian Gao was also willing to go out with He Zizhen and her siblings.
Although He Ziqian's behavior towards her in Feng Qianqian's memory was inhumane, He Ziqian's treatment of his family was impeccable, and Yun Jin was not afraid of He Ziqian following him out.
Yun Jin is not afraid, but He Tingchuan is worried.
He thought He Ziqian was clumsy and couldn't take care of his daughter at all, so he followed them whenever they went out.
Watching from afar, he would take action immediately if He Ziqian failed to take good care of Xiao Nian Gao.
Fortunately, He Ziqian was a good big brother. He held a small rice cake and started to greet his neighbors one by one and said auspicious words.
They all prepared red envelopes, even thirty or fifty cents is still money.
In this day and age, three or five cents is a lot.
Xiao Nian Gao went out with her brothers and sisters. The small bag she carried was filled with red envelopes of various sizes. Everyone was afraid that they might remember the wrong person, so they wrote names and blessings on the red envelopes.
Yun Jin looked at the load of small rice cakes that she had returned with, and pinched her face with a smile. Fortunately, she had applied facial cream before going out, otherwise her face would be ruined if she was exposed to the wind for a while.
The weather in Beijing is dry, and Yun Jin is not used to it.
He Tingchuan stewed a lung-moistening soup with rock sugar, Sichuan loquat and pear for her. She and Xiaoniangao drank it every day, but she still couldn't help but bleed from the nose. It shows how dry and cold the weather is here. Yun Jin doesn't know how much water she drinks every day.
So are the small rice cakes.
Xiaoniangao gave all the red envelopes he received to Yunjin.
When someone came to visit, He's mother would hand out the red envelopes she had prepared. Every time, she would say, "You're young, have more children. We only have three children, while others have five, six, seven, or eight. We're really at a loss compared to them!"
He Zizhen nodded in agreement.
He Dasao's face flushed: "I can't have children at my age, Xiaoyun, try harder."
Yun Jin smiled without saying anything and glanced at He Tingchuan.
He Tingchuan had a blank expression on his face and was not interested in the topic. He was focused on applying cold cream to Xiao Nian Gao's washed face, not even sparing her little hands and feet.
After taking a bath, Xiao Nian Gao has to apply a layer of body lotion all over his body.
The little one's skin is delicate and cannot be allowed to dry out and crack.
After the New Year's greetings, it was snowy and there was nothing else to do, so they just rested at home. On the second day of the New Year, He Ximei went back to her parents' home, and He Dasao also went back to her parents' home with her children.
After giving red envelopes to the two children, she went back to her parents' home.
Yun Jin doesn't need to go back to her parents' home and can wait for He Ximei at home.
The two cousins liked Xiao Nian Gao and held her in the living room to play. Xiao Nian Gao called them "brother" and "hug me" one by one. She had a lot of fun playing with them. The two little guys were reluctant to go back and wanted to stay at their grandmother's house.
He Ximei had no choice but to move in with her child. Her old room was still there, and she could live there after some tidying up.
There was nothing to do on the third day of the New Year, and the weather was much better. A group of people went out ice skating, visited the park, ate and drank. Every day was fully scheduled, and little Nian Gao started playing as soon as he opened his eyes.
On He Tingchuan's side, while making rock sugar and snow pear water for Yun Jin, He's mother was cleaning up in the kitchen. Thinking that there were still too few children at home, she said to He Tingchuan, "Little Nian Gao is over one year old now. You are still young, and I can still move. When you have another child, I will help you take care of Little Nian Gao. How about that?"
"No." He Tingchuan was urged to give birth several times in the past few days.
This was the first time that He's mother explicitly asked him to have another child.
Mother He was puzzled: "Why?"
"A small rice cake is enough." He Tingchuan had already made up his mind not to have a child.
He's mother advised: "How can Xiao Nian Gao be alone? He must have a brother or sister so that he can be company."
"Doesn't Xiaoniangao have brothers and sisters? It doesn't matter if he doesn't have younger brothers and sisters." He Tingchuan said confidently.
Mother He frowned. "How can it be the same? The relationship between people with the same father and mother is different. Besides, with your conditions, it would be a pity not to have more children. Is it Xiaoyun who doesn't want to have more children?"
Mother He knew that given their family's situation, if her daughter-in-law was willing to give birth, how could this stinky son refuse to cooperate?
I guess my daughter-in-law doesn't want to.
He Tingchuan shook his head and protected his wife: "I don't want to."
Mother He was so angry that she wanted to hit someone: "What are you unwilling to do?"
I don't want you to give birth, just enjoy yourself.
"I don't want to share my father's love with others." He Tingchuan opened the lid of the pot and saw that the rock sugar and snow pear were almost done. He turned off the heat and let it cool down a little before giving it to the mother and daughter as afternoon tea.
Mother He's fists hardened: "If Xiaoyun wants to give birth, you won't agree?"
He Tingchuan nodded, looking at his mother who was determined to do her job and have a second child. He didn't want to bring up this topic when they met in the future. He Tingchuan said frankly, "Mom, I can't have another child."
He's mother's pupils shrank slightly: "Are you...are you sick?"
Oh my God, it’s their family that’s sorry to Xiaoyun. Fortunately, they have a little rice cake, otherwise how would they live?
He Tingchuan's mouth twitched: "I'm not sick."
Mother He was devastated: "You can't do it?"
Oh my god, isn’t this harming people? Xiaoyun is still willing to live with him, this is true love!
He Tingchuan's face turned black: "Mom, can you please help me? I'm not sick, I'm fine, I had the surgery."
"What kind of surgery can affect your ability to have children?" Mother He didn't react for a moment.
He Tingchuan said without hesitation: "Vascular ligation surgery."
Mother He thought she had misheard: "What surgery?"
"Vacuum ligation surgery." He Tingchuan changed his words: "Sterilization surgery."
He's mother's eyes darkened: "You...Xiao Yun she..."
"She doesn't know." No way. He Tingchuan couldn't drag her into this. If his mother was angry, she could just direct it at him, but she couldn't implicate innocent people. This was his own choice.
Mother He was on the verge of collapse, her face turning green with anger. She could no longer control her fists and pounded them towards He Tingchuan. "What a sin! Why did I give birth to such an evil creature like you? Why didn't you just get a vasectomy?"
Mother He had had enough and asked hopefully, "Can you still connect?"
He Tingchuan shook his head and said firmly: "No, from now on, Xiao Nian Gao is my only daughter. Mom, please stop pushing her. Just treat her well. Xiao Nian Gao will be doubly filial to you in the future."
"I don't count on you. If you don't get mad at me, I'll definitely remember it. I have a headache. Go back and lie down for a while. Get out of here!" Mother He sighed. She was so angry that she didn't even have the strength to walk.
He Tingchuan felt guilty but not regretful.
That day, when He's mother saw Yun Jin waking up from her nap, she couldn't help but hug her. The deep guilt and self-blame in her eyes made Yun Jin a little confused, and she looked at He Tingchuan for help.
He Tingchuan silently reminded: ligation surgery.
Yun Jin understood immediately: "What's wrong, Mom?"
"Xiao Yun, you have been wronged." Mother He looked distressed.
Yun Jin pretended to be confused: "I'm fine, I'm fine!"
"It's all my fault for not teaching him well. I'm too embarrassed to tell you if you let him confess to you himself." Mother He glared at He Tingchuan: "How dare you hide it? How dare you make such a big decision on your own?"
Yun Jin: “???”
What do you mean by making decisions on your own? Wasn’t this something we discussed beforehand?
He Tingchuan immediately acknowledged the responsibility: "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have not discussed it with my wife. Now that it's done, Mom, if you're not angry enough, just scold me a few more times!"
"I'm too lazy to scold you. It's not me you feel sorry for." Mother He only felt guilty towards Yun Jin: "My child, you have been wronged. If you don't want to live with him in the future, I support you."
Yun Jin: “…”
He Tingchuan: “…”
The ancients said that it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage.
You have gone too far!
