291: Chapter 291 True or False First Love 91_1 291: Chapter 291 True or False First Love 91_1 Zhou Lina, prior to her marriage, had already begun to exercise and regulate her body under Gu Wei’s guidance, hoping to conceive sooner.
With three years left until the resumption of the college entrance exam, she planned to have two children within those three years, not wanting to take the exam with a big belly.
After all, once she got into university, it wouldn’t be possible to have another child; wouldn’t that interrupt her studies?
Once they graduated from university, having just one child would be fine, she thought.
She felt that there was no need for too many children; a single child would be too lonely, and two children would truly be best.
So when they received the good news three months after the wedding, it wasn’t much of a surprise, and Zhang Shifen and her son were thrilled.
Zhou Xuan was especially excited, “I’m going to be an uncle, I’m not the youngest anymore.”
Seeing Zhou Xuan’s happiness, Zhou Lina laughed, “You’ve forgotten that Zhou Yong has been a father for a while now, you’re already an uncle.”
Zhou Xuan thought for a mont, “Sorry, I’ve actually forgotten what that kid looks like.”
The child was already over a year old, almost two, but truthfully Zhou Xuan hadn’t seen him much.
Aside from the fact that their relationship as brothers wasn’t very good, there was also Luo Lili’s fear that he might bully her precious son—she was always on guard.
Since they were so defensive around him, Zhou Xuan didn’t have much interest in his nephew either.
“I’m going to be an uncle soon, I need to prepare sothing for my nephew.”
“I want to play with him.” Even though the child still had a long ti before being born, he was already looking forward to it.
Listening to Zhou Xuan talk about how he, as an uncle, would take good care of his nephew,
Zhou Lina gently rested her head on his shoulder, “That’s great, with a grand-aunt, a grandmother, an uncle, and the love of and your brother-in-law,”
“I believe the child will surely grow up healthy and strong.”
The original owner was a traditional woman, who hoped to marry and have children, and Zhou Lina naturally wanted to fulfill that.
Three months later, Gu Wei and Zhang Shifen began making various preparations.
They hadn’t dared to prepare anything before, fearing that people would notice, but once the fetus was over three months old and the situation had stabilized, they could reveal the news, otherwise the fetus would be very “sensitive.”
The news of Zhou Lina’s pregnancy, of course, spread quickly, and Zhou Juan and the Zheng family certainly heard it as well.
Mother Zheng was quite angry, continually tapping on Zheng Weijian’s forehead, “What kind of choice did you make?
Zhou Lina had liked you too, but you had to choose that ‘hen that doesn’t lay eggs.'”
“It really infuriates , a hen that doesn’t lay eggs.” Now Mother Zheng’s mind was filled with the fact that Zhou Lina was pregnant and about to beco a mother, while they at the Old Zheng Family didn’t know when they would have a grandchild.
Upon hearing the news of Zhou Lina’s child, Zhou Juan also felt very upset.
Why had she lost her eligibility to beco a mother, while Zhou Lina could marry well and even expect a child smoothly?
Zhou Juan really didn’t understand why fate had to be so cruel.
Already in a bad mood, on her way ho, quite a few people brought up the topic and asked her when she would beco pregnant.
She couldn’t believe that the Zheng family people wouldn’t spread the word about her inability to get pregnant again; she had already heard the neighbors gossiping about it.
Even her family, with whom she had almost no contact since she moved back to the city, ca to confirm the news with her.
After learning that she couldn’t have children, they even suggested she consider adopting a child.
For instance, they suggested that she look at Zhou Hong’s child, which deeply infuriated Zhou Juan.
How could she not know that Zhou Hong and his wife had welcod another child over the past two years, with another one on the way in Zhou Hong’s wife’s belly?
With such a ager salary and such a small house, they were about to welco a fifth child.
They couldn’t afford to raise the child, so they planned to let her take care of it.
Not to ntion the three Zhengs would never agree, she wouldn’t either.
Because she refuted her family’s proposal, Yang Zhaodi cursed her fiercely, saying she would never die in peace, and so on.
Zhou Juan listened to the sarcastic comnts of her neighbors and rembered the curse her family placed on her, only to get ho and hear Mother Zheng repeatedly call her a “hen that can’t lay eggs.”
Angered, Zhou Juan retorted, “How can I not lay eggs when I had children back in the Great Northwest.”
“It was you, you instructed your precious son to make work right after the miscarriage, without giving proper rest.”
“Then you had get pregnant again, yet the child didn’t survive.”
“Eating poorly, taking care of your son, dealing with your scheming—if not for all that, how could I have no children?”
“It’s all your plotting,” Zhou Juan’s mind snapped, and she blurted out all the sches the Zheng Family had against her.
Although she was indeed capable of bearing children, ending up like this was the result of their scheming.
The neighbors, who were there for the drama, didn’t expect to overhear such explosive news.
“Oh my.”
“Is it true?”
Everyone knew that Zhou Juan was unable to have children, but the exact reasons were never clarified by Mother Zheng, who had ntioned it only vaguely.
“Nonsense, all nonsense,” Mother Zheng hadn’t expected her habitual cursing to provoke such a reaction from Zhou Juan, causing her to reveal things that should have remained unsaid.
“Zhou Juan is talking nonsense,” Mother Zheng denied vehently while signaling Zheng Weijian to pull Zhou Juan away.
“How am I talking nonsense?” Zhou Juan refused to take the bla for everything.
“I’ve seen the contents of your correspondence with Zheng Weijian.
If I hadn’t seen your ssages, I might not even know if I’d still be alive today, having been plotted against to die in the Northwest.”
“Otherwise, why would you have arranged for to return to the city?” Zhou Juan had figured it out—she was the victim and everyone would sympathize with her.
It was uncertain whether the Zheng Family would be able to withstand the looks they’d receive from people around after the scandal broke.
The crowd, initially doubtful, began to side with Zhou Juan since the Zheng Family’s only response was to accuse her of lying, offering no other defense.
But Zhou Juan was different; she had evidence.
“I always found it strange.
They clearly didn’t like as a daughter-in-law, so why would they buy a job?”
Purchasing a job cost at least three hundred to start, not a small amount of money.
Many people would only arrange for their own children to co back, not considering their daughters-in-law or sons-in-law.
“Back then, I thought maybe the Zhengs had a change of heart, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.”
No matter how clever their little sches were in dealing with the children they didn’t like or plotting against them, they never went this far.
Or at least, even if they did sche, they wouldn’t give the other party any leverage, but the Zheng Family really were fools to have been caught red-handed.
Mother Zheng hadn’t foreseen that the situation could be turned around so swiftly.
In her mind, there was only one thought—that they were dood, utterly disgraced.
She couldn’t imagine how their relatives looked down on them.
Since the last debacle over Zheng Weijian’s job which caused their relationship to sour, years had passed with no improvent.
Now, to stir up such a scandal, she truly didn’t know how they would be ridiculed.
“You say I’m lying, then bring evidence,” Zhou Juan confronted Mother Zheng uncompromisingly.
“Otherwise, you’re slandering and ruining my reputation.” Zhou Juan had no intention of considering divorce.
Divorcing would let Zheng Weijian off easy, and as a divorced woman who couldn’t have children, who would want to marry her?
It was better to stay with the Zheng Family.
Humph, did the Zheng Family not constantly long for a grandson?
As long as she was around, she wouldn’t let Zheng Weijian have children.
This was what the Old Zheng Family owed her, a debt through all eternity.
