Arc 6: The Second Child Era (10)

Advertisement

“Mom, you are a mother, can you consider some realistic issues?”

Mu Wanwan put the bowl of porridge in her hand aside, suppressed her sadness, and argued with her mother.

“In this situation, do you have the energy and time to take care of the baby in your belly? When Dad was still alive, didn’t you all agree that you would come to take care of my child? If the baby in your belly is born now, how old will he/she be compared to your future grandchildren?”

Mu Wanwan sincerely felt that it was absurd for her mother to have a second child at this age. Not only was it difficult in practice, but she also couldn’t accept it emotionally.

“I plan to sell your Dad’s shares in the logistics company to your Uncle Li.”

These days, Ah Wu was not just immersed in those memories and did nothing.

With the rise of e-commerce in recent years, the business of logistics companies has become more and more prosperous.

Mu Feng’s logistics company is well-known in the local area, and its current market value is about 60 million. According to the company’s development prospects and Mu Feng’s share of the company’s equity, the company’s second-largest shareholder is willing to spend 38 million to buy the shares left by Mu Feng.

This price was already very fair. Mu Feng’s partner did not intend to mistreat Ah Wu and her daughter just because they were immersed in the pain of her husband’s death and had no extra energy to understand the company’s affairs.

In the previous life, Zhuo Wu did choose to abort the pregnancy because of psychological pressure and her daughter’s disapproval, but the physical and mental burden of heavy work on an elderly mother could not be ignored.

The family fortune earned by Mu Feng and Zhuo Wu in the first half of their lives was enough for Ah Wu, Mu Wanwan, and the baby in her belly to live well without having to work.

Therefore, between the company and the baby in her belly, Ah Wu chose the latter without hesitation.

“Mom! You’re going to sell Dad’s company!”

Mu Wanwan certainly knew who Uncle Li her mother was talking about. As her father’s business partner, Mu Wanwan met Uncle Li quite often. This time when Ah Wu was hospitalized, that friend gave a lot of help. The single room Ah Wu was living in was obtained by that uncle through his connections.

Mu Wanwan felt her scalp tingling when she heard that her mother was going to sell the company left by her father in order to better take care of the baby in her belly.

“Mom, do you think it’s fair for you to do this to me?”

She took a deep breath to prevent herself from saying more harsh words.

When she was a child, her parents’ relatives came to their house every few days. Because she was a girl, they almost treated themselves as the master of the house.

At that time, she heard a lot of things like her parents would try to have a son sooner or later and then throw her to the old man who collected garbage or that she was a money-loser, and because of her, the industry earned by her parents would sooner or later be given to outsiders.

At that time, Mu Feng and Zhuo Wu didn’t know that the relatives in their hometown were so bad that they would say such things to a child while they were at work.

Therefore, for a long time, Mu Wanwan was restless when she slept, fearing that she would fall asleep and wake up in the house of the old man who collected garbage.

Now her mother insisted on giving birth to the child in her belly. For Mu Wanwan, it was like the nightmare that had been pressing on her heart in her childhood was revived again. The thing she was most afraid of back then finally happened.

It was difficult for her to calm down.

“When I was young, you and Dad were always busy with the company. I spent more time with the nanny than with you and Dad. At that time, I wanted you to spend more time with me, but you always said that it would be fine after that busy period.”

Mu Wanwan wiped her tears heavily.

Her childhood memories were not very good. First, there were a bunch of annoying relatives in her hometown, and second, her parents who were in the rising stage of their careers inevitably ignored her as a daughter.

“At that time, you and Dad were not able to spend more time with me. How come now that the baby in your belly hasn’t been born yet, you are even planning to sell the company? Have you ever thought about me?”

Mu Wanwan knew better than anyone that her parents loved her. Because they loved her, after discovering what those people in her hometown did, they cut off contact with those people without hesitation. After that, except for the alimony for the two elders, they never gave them a penny more.

In the early years, they were busy with work and drank until they vomited every night to attract business.

But on important days, such as her birthday or various parties that the school required parents to attend, as well as Children’s Day and other holidays, her parents would always take time to accompany her to the zoo, park, and other places she wanted to go, even though her father drank so much that he vomited acid the night before and her mother stayed up all night to take care of her father.

But compared to other children of the same age, Mu Wanwan had only a nanny to pick her up from school every day. She also could not see her parents when she went home at night or went to school during the day. After all, she got less companionship.

Perhaps humans are always unsatisfied.

Mu Feng and Zhuo Wu used their time and energy to create a material life for her that far exceeded that of ordinary people. When she envied others for having their parents by her side, she didn’t realize that others were envious of her for being able to live in a spacious house and never having to worry about money.

    She’s 39, not 49. Her chances of a successful pregnancy are still excellent. It’s a bit weird to treat her like she’s taking some unimaginable risk here.

      Yeah, culturally a woman over 30 who isn’t married is considered a “leftover woman” and is an old maid and usually is considered a sign that something is wrong with them and/or their family. People are expected to have a kid by 25 pretty much.
