1242 Is It a Boy or a Girl?
The two of them muttered like spies. After exhorting each other about this matter, the old lady heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Wang Yunzhong said, “Mom, but I have to make things clear. If this matter with Yunfa gets resolved, ask him to return the fifty thousand yuan to me.”
“I can help him clean up the mess he caused, but I can’t add money to it!”
Wang Yunzhong spoke seriously. Fifty thousand yuan was not a small sum. Although it was not a lot of money to him, it depended on what he did with it. Initially, he didn’t want to interfere in Wang Yunfa’s matter. If the two elders hadn’t begged him, he wouldn’t have given face and money.
Therefore, Wang Yunfa had to return any money spent on resolving this matter to him.
The old lady naturally knew what Wang Yunzhong meant. She immediately nodded and agreed. “Don’t worry, Yunzhong. Mom promises you this. If Yunfa can come out safely, I’ll ask him to return the money to you.”
“If he dares to be shameless, Mom won’t let him off.”
Hearing the old lady’s words, Wang Yunzhong nodded gently. “Don’t think that I’m making things difficult for him. He’s already an adult, but he’s still rash and doesn’t care about the consequences. Let him know he has to pay the price for doing something wrong and learn to take responsibility. You’ve spoiled Yunfa. He thinks someone will take responsibility for him even if he causes an enormous mess, which is why he’s so lawless!”
“Oh, stop criticizing me.” When the old lady heard the topic was about her, she blurted, “Mom knows you’re angry, but he’s your brother, after all. No matter what, can you ignore him?”
Wang Yunzhong sighed and said, “I’m taking care of it now, right?!”
“Isn’t that so?” The old lady said, “I have to interfere both ways, so say less. There are some things that Mom knows even if you don’t say them. There’s no need to say them to my face. I’m already so old!”
The old lady’s voice became softer. Wang Yunzhong’s words probably made her feel a little embarrassed.
The old lady knew better than anyone that she had spoiled Wang Yunfa, so she also knew that she couldn’t escape the responsibility of Wang Yunfa becoming like this. Now that Wang Yunzhong had pried her apart, she felt embarrassed.
After all, she was his mother. His usual domineering personality suddenly softened, and Wang Yunzhong didn’t dare to say anything else. In the end, he only nodded and sighed. “Alright, I won’t say anything else. Anyway, it’s good that you understand in your heart. If Yunfa doesn’t change, something will happen in the future. After Li Xia gives birth to a child, both mother and son will suffer! That’s your grandson. Even if it’s for the grandchild, you can’t spoil Yunfa like before!”
“Yes, yes. Mom knows!” The old lady nodded repeatedly.
Not long after, Xu Qianqian came out of the consultation room with a list in her hand. Wang Yunzhong and the old lady quickly went forward to welcome her. The old lady asked, “How was it, Qianqian? What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said I’ve been recuperating well in the first three months. The child should be fine. He asked us to take an ultrasound and see the fetus in my stomach,” Xu Qianqian said.
When he heard it was not over, Wang Yunzhong’s expression turned slightly stiff. It was almost noon. He initially wanted to go early, but he could only go in the afternoon.
They went to another prenatal examination room. Xu Qianqian was lying on the bed, and then the doctor attached an instrument to her stomach. Soon, an image of her stomach appeared on the screen in the prenatal examination room.
They could vaguely see the shape of a fetus. Although it was not obvious, they could already see its human form.
Xu Qianqian looked at the gray figure with a motherly and loving smile on her face. Wang Yunzhong was slightly touched. Over ten years ago, when Jiang Chunfen was pregnant, the hospital did not have this technology. Now that she was three months pregnant, they could see the image of the fetus in advance.
He was in his forties, and he was a father again. Wang Yunzhong felt a little emotional.
The old lady at the side stared at it for a long time, but she still couldn’t understand. In the end, she blurted out to the doctor, “Doctor, is this a boy or a girl?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yunzhong’s expression instantly changed.
Back then, the old lady secretly asked him to look for his old classmate in the hospital to see the fetus’ gender, but he rejected her. This was because the hospital had a rule that they could not test for the fetus’ gender. This was illegal.
Unexpectedly, the old lady asked the doctor such a question.
Not only Wang Yunzhong, but Xu Qianqian’s expression was also very ugly. She knew that the Wang family favored boys over girls, but there was no need to impatiently investigate if her child was a boy or a girl at three months.
As a mother, she naturally loved both boys and girls equally. How could she stand others talking about the gender of the fetus?!
Even the doctor looked up and glanced at the old lady. His originally passionate attitude instantly turned cold as he explained softly, “I’m sorry, we can’t tell you this because the law stipulates it. The hospital doesn’t allow it either.”
The old lady was not stupid. She regretted it the moment she asked. She just blurted it out in a moment of heat.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she quickly nodded and smiled bitterly. “I was just asking.”
After the prenatal examination, it was almost one in the afternoon. When they came out of the hospital, the old lady could tell that Xu Qianqian was unhappy. She couldn’t help but go forward and say, “Qianqian, you’ve been working hard all morning. What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will cook for you!”
After Wang Yunfa entered the police station, the vegetable stall was temporarily closed, so she had been taking care of Xu Qianqian at home for the past few days.
“I want to eat steak,” Xu Qianqian said and looked at Wang Yunzhong. “Husband, let’s go to Wang Pin and have steak!”
Wang Yunzhong initially wanted to slip away after the prenatal examination, but he didn’t expect Xu Qianqian to want him to accompany her to eat steak again.
Before he could think of an excuse, the old lady spoke first. “Alright, let’s go eat steak.”
“Yunzhong, go get the car. Qianqian and I will wait for you by the road outside,” the old lady instructed Wang Yunzhong.
Wang Yunzhong sighed in his heart, but he couldn’t think of any other reason to leave. He thought that since it was already afternoon, so be it. As long as he didn’t miss the birthday party tonight.
Wang Yunzhong nodded and turned around to pick up the car.
The old lady helped Xu Qianqian to the road outside the hospital. Wang Yunzhong was no longer around. Xu Qianqian hesitated for a moment before saying to the old lady, “Mom, I know you and Dad are looking forward to me giving birth to a grandson. Yunzhong also wants a boy.”
Xu Qianqian’s words stunned the old lady. When she heard this, she quickly said, “Qianqian, don’t think too much. I didn’t mean it just now. I was just asking casually!”
