Chapter 1464: Chapter 841: Xiaosi’s Struggle from the Bottom, Maternity Leave and Paternity Leave?
Inside the hospital, in the shadows, next to the trash can, someone was holding flowers, seemingly wallowing in self-pity after a massive shock.
Jiang Jinsang looked at him, "You’ve been out long enough, everyone is waiting for you, go inside."
"I can’t accept this." Jiang Chengsi let out a long sigh, "I just left for a short while, announcing a girlfriend, meeting the parents, I can accept all of that, but..."
"How did a child come into the picture?"
"This is really too hard to accept, no matter how I see it, my brother doesn’t seem like the kind of person to do such a thing."
...
Jiang Chengsi once thought that his brother being caught as a "wild man" might lead the Lin Family to reject the marriage, and he might have a chance to surpass him. Now things seem better...
It’s like reaching success in one step.
The person rambled for a while without any response, then looked at Jiang Jinsang, "Why aren’t you saying anything? At least respond to me."
"You’re just becoming an uncle, not a father, is it that hard to accept?"
Jiang Chengsi was at a loss for words.
"Besides, it’s not your first time being an uncle."
Jiang Chengsi snorted, proving that sometimes siblings are really not that endearing.
When the two returned to the ward, Jiang Chengsi briefly asked about the Lin Family, such as the parents’ occupations, family structure, and personalities, partly to facilitate communication later, and also to avoid saying something wrong.
"Are you moving back to Hexi to live?" Jiang Jinsang looked at him.
"Yes, the Yi Garden house is the Si Family’s wedding house, even if I’m renting it, it’s not convenient to continue living there."
"Who knows where our third brother’s new house for the wedding will be set up, if it’s in Hexi, what will you do?"
"..."
Jiang Chengsi’s head started to ache again.
All these years, he never invested in real estate, all his money went into cars, and later when the club investment became tight, he got sponsorships from Qi Zeyan and Jiang Jinsang.
Finding a place to live isn’t the problem, but where can he find a big garage again?
Jiang Chengsi’s mood had just improved, and then it plummeted again.
Lost his car, got overtaken, at this rate he might not even have a home to return to.
As the two returned to the hospital room, both families formally began discussing the matter between Jiang Shiyi and Lin Luyou.
...
The elderly lady coughed softly and glanced at Jiang Zhenhuan, signaling him to speak first.
As the head of the family, Jiang Zhenhuan had been somewhat absent-minded lately, finding it particularly challenging to deal with this situation as an uncle. If it had been his own son, he might not have been as anxious, worried that his performance might affect the child’s marriage.
"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Shiyi has already apologized to you for this incident earlier, and although the child came unexpectedly, you are not the only ones surprised, we were also totally unprepared."
Jiang Zhenhuan was always straightforward with his words, "To be frank, we are here because of the child. After all, if we decide to keep the child, the belly will only get bigger day by day, and that’s not a good thing either..."
By speaking so directly, the Lin Family felt more at ease.
Everyone knows that if it weren’t for the unexpected child, there’s no way the two families would have met again so soon.
"However, Shiyi wants to marry her, and it’s not just because of the child. Whatever decision your family makes, we respect it. Please believe us, even without the child, if the two youngsters are in love and want to marry, we would support it."
Jiang Zhenhuan’s straightforwardness didn’t make the Lin Family uneasy or leave them guessing.
Being honest and direct provides more reassurance.
The elderly lady smiled, "Ultimately, we all hope for the children’s happiness, and we won’t force you into any decision."
"While it’s said that marriage concerns two families, having a child, taking care of them, raising them, we can only help so much, it’s still the parents’ responsibility to worry over it."
"If being together because of the child means they’re unhappy, and the child ends up suffering too, then I wouldn’t want them to be together."
The Jiang Family’s attitude is quite clear, whether to keep the child doesn’t affect their support for the two to date and marry.
After all, the decision to have the child and get married depends on Jiang Shiyi and Lin Luyou’s attitude. The Jiang Family’s visit is merely to express their stance, not to pressure them.
The Lin Family had already come to a conclusion, and after a brief silence, Lin’s father said:
"Let the kids decide."
He wasn’t particularly willing for his daughter to join the Jiang Family in this way, always fearing that she might be looked down upon in the future. However, since the child already existed, it was also hard to voice the idea of not wanting the child.
Lin Luyou’s attitude was evident to everyone, making this situation almost clear-cut.
