(Word Count: 1642)

 

Father Wu looked at his daughter and son and said, “At the beginning you gave the fourth child to Hongjun. Now Hongmei regrets and wants the child back. That’s nothing. After all, Hongjun is the fourth girl’s uncle and Hongmei’s biological brother. The brother helped his sister raise the child for a few years, and his sister gave money as compensation. None of you siblings suffered a big loss, and there should be no estrangement between brothers and sisters.”

 

Nian Aiying curled her lips and was about to say something, but was stopped by Wu Hongjun. He said, “Dad, you are right. Hongmei is my only sister. If she has any difficulties, how can I, as her brother, not help her? Don’t worry, Aiying and I won’t worry.”

 

Father Wu sighed with relief. His daughter-in-law is picky and stubborn, but she can be controlled by his sensible son, so that nothing will go wrong in the family.

 

Father Wu looked at Han Ze and Wu Hongmei, and Han Ze quickly said, “Dad, Hongmei and I will never forget the help that elder brother and sister-in-law gave us.”

 

Father Wu looked deeply at his daughter and son-in-law. As a father-in-law, he knew the situation of Han Ze’s family better than anyone else. Mrs. Han wanted a grandson so much that she wanted to give away all the girls in order to let Han Ze have a grandson. They were surprised that the fifth girl was not given away. What should they do with the fourth girl when she goes back? Where will the money for the household registration fine come from? These are all problems.

 

Father Wu asked Han Ze worriedly: “If you take the fourth girl back, there will be five girls in your family. Does your mother agree? What will you do if she disagrees? It will be the fourth girl who will suffer. And do you plan to have more children? If you do, how will you raise so many children? Have you considered all these clearly?”

 

People say that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, but just because she is married, he has endless worries, worrying that she will be bullied by her husband’s family, afraid that she can’t give birth to a son and will be despised by others…

 

Han Ze smiled bitterly and said, “Why give birth to more? I don’t have the fate of having a son. No matter how many more I give birth to, they will all be girls. If I take the fourth girl back, even my mother can’t say anything, not to mention…” When he said this, he glanced at the children next to him and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

 

Father Wu: “…”

 

Wu Hongjun always felt that he couldn’t bear to look at his brother-in-law. He was obsessed with superstition.

 

Seeing this, Mother Wu asked Nian Aiying to take the children outside. Nian Aiying knew that her elder sister-in-law and her father-in-law had something to talk to her parents-in-law about, and wanted her to avoid it. She sneered, but still took the children to the vegetable garden outside to pick cantaloupe. they didn’t want her to listen, and she also does not want to hear about the mess at her elder sister-in-law’s house.

 

After the children left, Han Ze said awkwardly: “I plan to get sterilized.”

 

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and kept cursing his original body in his heart, why did he have to get sterilized.

 

In the interstellar era with low fertility values, sterilization is so cruel to men. Although this is not the interstellar era, although the fertility value here is very high, so high that family planning is needed to curb people’s fertility, he doesn’t want to get sterilized. There are many ways to prevent pregnancy, why must he choose sterilization? What a stupid request of the original body.

 

“What?”

 

Mother Wu looked at Han Ze in disbelief. What did she just hear?

 

Wu Hongjun almost choked on his saliva. There were male laborers in their village who chose to get sterilized because they had at least two sons in their families. The reason why his brother-in-law chose to get sterilized must be because of what the blind Han said that he had no son. It was hilarious to think about it. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous for his brother-in-law to get sterilized because of the blind fortune teller?

 

Should he go to the blind fortune teller to settle the score?

 

But thinking that if his brother-in-law is sterilized, his sister would no longer suffer from the matter of having a son, he thought about it and decided to forget it.

 

Father Wu’s eyes narrowed. He understood what it meant for a man to get sterilized, and Han Ze must have understood it too. Since he understood it and was still willing to get sterilized, it meant that he really believed that he had no son and gave up having a son. At this point, he completely dispelled all his doubts about Han Ze. His son-in-law really believed what the blind Han said that he had no son, not just to play a trick to get the fourth girl back.

 

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty about his son-in-law. Didn’t he marry his daughter to him because he was honest? Why would he suspect that he was pretending to be honest for such a small matter? It was too wrong.

 

Wu Hongmei looked at her man in astonishment, unable to believe that he was actually going to get sterilized.

 

After sending her daughter and her family away, Mother Wu relaxed and slumped in a chair, muttering: “Why do I feel that this is so bizarre? You said Han Ze is really going to get sterilized, won’t Mrs. Han fight with our daughter?”

 

Father Wu frowned: “Do you think it is more important for Mrs. Han to fight with our daughter, or for our daughter’s health? In order for our daughter to no longer suffer the pain of childbirth, I think it is better for Han Ze to get sterilized. What’s more, it is Mrs. Han’s own son who is going to be sterilized. She doesn’t settle accounts with her own son, but has to fight with Hongmei. Does she think our family is vegetarians?”

 

After Wu’s father said this, Mother Wu thought about it and it made sense. Her daughter had given birth to five children and had many abortions. Her health was worse every time she had a confinement. If she got pregnant again, it would not be giving birth to a child, but giving up her life.

 

…

 

The fourth girl was held by Han Zhaodi in a daze. Her mother said that her eldest aunt and uncle were her biological parents, and asked her to go home with her parents. She was too young to understand what her mother said, but she knew that her aunt liked her and brought her delicious food every time she came. Thinking of this, she looked at Wu Hongmei and Han Ze timidly and whispered, “Aunt…”

 

Wu Hongmei asked softly, “Fourth girl, what’s the matter?”

 

The fourth girl twisted her fingers and asked timidly, “Will you hit me?”

 

Han Ze stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, looking at her gently, “No one will hit you at your aunt’s house.”

 

A bright light flashed in the fourth girl’s eyes, and then dimmed: “I eat very little, and you don’t have to scold me. I won’t go home, okay?”

 

Han Ze was stunned, his heart ached, and he hugged her tightly: “Before coming here, did your mother tell you that you are your uncle’s daughter?”

 

Han Ze looked at the little girl and nodded, and continued, “Since you are your uncle’s daughter, then this is your home. You can eat as much as you want in your own home, and no one will scold you.”

 

The fourth girl didn’t quite understand what her uncle said, but she understood the last sentence, “Eat as much as you want and no one will scold her.” Her eyes sparkled as she asked, “Can I really eat as much as I want?”

 

Han Ze smiled and nodded, “Really.”

 

Han Zhaodi came over with a pack of biscuits in her hand and handed it to the fourth girl. Seeing her carefully take it and hold it in her arms, she smiled and said, “These are biscuits, given to you by your sister, eat them.”

 

 

The fourth girl knew about biscuits. Her mother bought them for her brothers and sisters to eat. She wanted to eat them, but her mother said that she was too young and would have a stomachache if she ate them, so she didn’t let her eat them. She was very greedy and ate a piece secretly. Her mother found out and beat her up. She never dared to steal food again.

 

Now that sister Zhaodi gave her biscuits, did it mean that she had grown up and could eat them? Thinking of this, she picked up a biscuit and fed it to her mouth, squinting her eyes. It was so sweet and delicious.

 

Han Ze smiled and asked her, “Is it delicious?”

 

The fourth girl kept nodding her head: “It’s delicious.”

 

Han Ze smiled and said, “If it’s delicious, I’ll buy it for you tomorrow.”

 

The fourth girl asked him in disbelief: “Really?”

 

Han Ze nodded: “Really.”

 

The fourth girl suddenly said, “I like my uncle.”

 

Han Ze gently patted her little head and laughed, “Little flatterer.”

 

Although the uncle patted her head, the fourth girl felt that she liked him very much, so she emphasized, “I really like my uncle.”

 

“Your uncle knows.”

 

Han Ze laughed, she is really a flatterer.
