Chapter 20: Temptation
"Let Lei split it, that is also your own choice of in-laws, I said back then that I would not let you marry Wu Guangping, you have to listen, now you know that you are annoyed?" grandma reprimanded with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, all gone, what are you talking about now? I don't want to mention their families. Chen Junmei said impatiently.
Grandma didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and turned to look at Wu Bei, "Do you want your mother to give birth to this child?"
Chen Junmei immediately held Wu Bei's hand next to her, as if she was a teammate, and looked at her earnestly, "Didn't you often say when you were a child that you wanted a younger brother or sister to play with? ”
When Wu Bei heard this, she understood that Chen Junmei actually wanted to have a child, and today's sit-down meeting where all the staff were gathered was probably to persuade her not to give birth.
Wu Bei shrugged and said: "When I was a child, I was a child, and now I am so busy with work that I can't stay at home for a few days every month, how can I have the time to play with children? Besides, you are so old, you have time to travel with my Uncle Li, how good it is to play around, clean and comfortable, and there must be no idle time every day to make a child, why suffer from this tiredness? It is not good for your health." ”
Grandma helped on the side, "Did you hear that?" ”
Wu Bei keenly caught the word "two" and asked, "Uncle Li also wants to have another child?"
Li Jun was named, looking a little cramped, and hesitated for a moment before whispering: "I don't really want it, but I still have to respect Meimei's meaning in this matter." ”
Wu Bei's face turned cold suddenly, and she gave Li Jun a big cross in her heart, glanced at him twice before standing up, and Chen Junmei took her hand and gently dragged her, "Mom, let's go talk alone." ”
The two entered the bedroom and closed the door, Wu Bei asked Chen Junmei what she thought, and Chen Junmei said that she just wanted to have a common child with Li Jun, and no child between husband and wife is incomplete.
Wu Bei furrowed her brows, lowered her voice even more, and approached Chen Junmei, "Mom, you tell me the truth, is it because Li Jun told you something, or put pressure on you, that you want to keep this child?"
Chen Junmei stretched out her hand and slapped her on the back lightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking nonsense? Is your Uncle Li this kind of person?"
"Then why do you have to have another child?"
"Didn't I already say that in a small family, husband and wife have to have a child in common. ”
"No, what age is this, the law doesn't stipulate that a wife must give birth to a child for her husband, why are you still here?" Wu Bei felt that she couldn't understand Chen Junmei's brain circuit at all, "Besides, Li Jun is not childless, he needs you to help him make up for this shortage, isn't the son born by his ex-wife already in college......?"
"I thought about it! Why didn't I think about it!" Chen Junmei interrupted her irritably, "Do you think you have long brains? Even if I don't have long brains, I can still recite your reasons backwards after listening to the repeated bombardment for more than three hours!"
"I understand the reason, but you also said that I am so old, this child is an accident, but it is also a huge surprise and gift, I can't give up on him, as for those problems in the process of pregnancy, discomfort, I am confident that I can endure and overcome. ”
"It's simple. Wu Bei added a sentence at the end of her words, obviously disagreeing.
When Chen Junmei heard this, she was even more unhappy, and suddenly raised her tone, "What is said simply, have you given birth to a child or have I given birth to a child?
"Damn, what are you shouting! I'm not here for your good!" Wu Bei didn't know why she reacted so much, and she was also irritated for a while, and stared at her with wide eyes.
Both of them were dissatisfied in their hearts and were silent for a moment, and in the end, Wu Bei considered that Chen Junmei was now pregnant, and it was normal for her emotions to fluctuate, so she didn't know her first. The top priority is to warp her twisted tendons.
Wu Bei thought for a while, and reopened her mouth to pick up the original topic, "Don't talk about whether you have given birth to a child or not, you were only in your early twenties when you gave birth to a child, and now you are nearly fifty, can you generalize?
Even if you can endure it, and you are not afraid of danger, then have you thought about me? If you have three long and two short because you gave birth to this child, then I ...... So what should I do...... Don't you care what mood I feel at all!"
Wu Bei originally wanted to stay calm and discuss matters with her, but when she said this, she really felt a strong grievance in her heart, choked up, her eyes were a little wet, and she quickly turned her head to avoid looking at Chen Junmei.
Chen Junmei was stunned for a moment, then patted the back of Wu Bei's hand, and said with a smile: "Now that medical technology is so developed, and it is not ancient, it is so easy to have three long and two short, you kid is too exaggerated." ”
She appeased a few more words, but these words not only did not play the role they should have, but made Wu Bei even more discouraged and angry.
"Three long and two short" is naturally just a general statement, not just referring to the worst kind of result, she doesn't believe that Chen Junmei doesn't understand, but the other party deliberately avoids the important and trivial, and does not discuss with her the meaning of the key issue of "life or not" at all, just doing Tai Chi around here.
Wu Bei saw that there was no point in continuing to talk today, so she coldly cut off the conversation and planned to go home first.
has already gone out of the gate, Li Jun chased her out and said that he wanted to send her, obviously he also had something to say.
Wu Bei took into account that her attitude would affect the relationship between their husband and wife, and in the past, she used to communicate with Chen Junmei in private, and almost never mentioned it in front of him, but this time in the matter of Chen Junmei's pregnancy, the other party's attitude really made her very dissatisfied, and she couldn't help but be a little unkind in her tone.
"Uncle Li, my mother is sometimes like a child, her ideas are simple and stubborn, even if she is dizzy, why can you help her with nonsense?"
"You really wronged your uncle," Li Jun smiled bitterly, "I chased after it just to explain this, of course your mother is very guilty of having another child at her age, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and I didn't approve of it at first." However, her attitude was more resolute, and when I was a little tougher, she cried, saying that I had no sense of responsibility, I didn't understand her at all, and even the child's father was not on her side, she was too sad and disappointed. I'm worried that if she continues to make such a fuss, she won't wait for the child's matter to discuss anything, and her own body will collapse first, so she can only express neutrality first. ”
Wu Bei nodded, thinking that it was not easy for Li Jun, and the current situation was not human beings on both sides. But she then thought that Chen Junmei was so old and pregnant, and it wasn't all good things he did, so the little understanding and sympathy that had just been generated immediately became the two big words "deserved" again.
Li Jun continued: "Your mother may be in the early stages of pregnancy, emotionally unstable, and can't listen to people's persuasion. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to change the white face and red face to sing, but it is always for her good and her body. ”
These words are quite like a few words, Wu Bei's face turned a little pale, and said: "That's indeed the case, Uncle Li, I can't go home often when I go to work, so please take care of my mother more." ”
"Hey, what's the trouble or not, that's not what I should do!" Li Jun said as he waved his hand.
The next day was Sunday, and after Wu Bei got up in the morning, she planned to sort out the materials first, cut the film, and order a takeout casually when she arrived at the meal, but when she was in the early ten o'clock, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Chen Junmei came to see her, of course, it is not a strange thing in normal times, the problem is that she is now an elderly pregnant woman, she has been sitting alone for so long on the bus and came here, and she is carrying a bunch of big bags and small bags, in case she falls and touches it, can she stand it!
Wu Bei hurriedly let people into the house, complained that she was too inattentive, and asked Li Jun why she came over alone.
Chen Junmei disagreed, saying that Li Jun went to the unit on duty with his colleagues today, and she didn't tell him when she came over. Then, with a smile on his face, he said that he had bought prawns and fish, and he would make something for her to eat in a while.
Wu Bei faintly felt that she was coming with a purpose, paused, did not squeak, and bent down to carry the bag to the kitchen. I noticed that there was also a paper bag in the middle of the pile of plastic bags, and there was a ginger dress inside.
Chen Junmei said at the right time, "Ah, that's the new windbreaker I bought for you when I was shopping in the morning, don't forget to try if it fits later." ”
Wu Bei let out an "oh" without being salty. She wasn't in the mood to try on a trench coat now, and after she came out of the kitchen, she sat in front of the computer for a while, but her mind was not on editing, and she had a lot on her mind.
In the afterglow, she caught a glimpse of Chen Junmei sitting firmly on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, without any intention of speaking, she simply pushed the mouse and took the lead in breaking the silence. "Mom, do you have something you want to tell me today?"
"No" Chen Junmei originally wanted to take advantage of the good atmosphere during the meal, pretending to chat and say a few words, but she didn't expect Wu Bei to ask straight to the point, so she subconsciously denied it, "It's just to cook for you." ”
Seeing this, Wu Bei was even more sure of her conjecture, and asked rhetorically, "Really?"
"In this case, we will eat silently for a while, and no one will say anything about what is there or not. Whoever says it is a puppy. ”
"If you don't speak, be dumb!" Chen Junmei laughed awkwardly.
"Don't say anything about food, don't talk about sleeping, and carry forward the fine tradition. Wu Bei said as a matter of course, shrugged, and turned back to face the computer.
Chen Junmei knew that the other party had seen through her thoughts, and after a while, she asked tentatively: "Beibei, what do you think about your mother's pregnancy?"
"Didn't I already think yesterday?"
"What about the other than what you've said? For example, do you worry that your mother cares more about her newborn than she does about you, or that she will take away the resources and possessions that are rightfully yours?"
"What resources do you have, and how much property do you have to worry about?" Wu Bei pursed her lips as if amused.
To be honest, as early as a few days ago, when my aunt mentioned these problems, although she disliked them, she didn't think about them at all, but in these aspects, she still has more confidence in Chen Junmei, besides, there are so many second-child and three-child families in the world, can't people handle it well?
Of course, at this time, she didn't plan to tell the truth about her psychological transformation process, lest the topic go off the rails again. She knows Chen Junmei too well, from the time Chen Junmei asked the first question, she basically guessed the next plot direction, the other party will definitely play the emotional card with her, talking and talking, the emotion is coming, maybe she will have to cry for a while, so as to soften her heart, and then agree to let her have a child.
So she didn't plan to give Chen Junmei a chance to play at all, and casually sneered to show that she didn't have any worries in this regard, and then said: "If you were twenty years younger now, I wouldn't have more than half a word of gossip, but you are not young anymore, so I don't agree." That's what I think, it's that simple, nothing else. ”
Chen Junmei stared at her for a long time before saying, "But when I went to the hospital for a check-up last week, the doctor said that I was in good health." ”
Wu Bei rubbed her eyes helplessly, she didn't want to argue anymore, it didn't mean that it was good now for five months or eight months, and it didn't mean that it would be fine after giving birth. You'll never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, and she won't listen to any amount of talk.
But Wu Bei really couldn't understand that the whole family and even Li Jun didn't approve of her wanting this child, why was she so persistent?
