Without this child, Shen Yaochu would never see Gao Yuchuan again. She has clearly made up her mind to say goodbye to her girlish feelings forever. But now, she personally put her throat up and let Gao Yuchuan hold it tightly.
Even though she has received a certificate now, she still has the thought of giving up from time to time. Every time she thought like this, he would appear in front of her as if nothing had happened, testing her already weak determination. Everything seemed to have reached a dead end, and she had no confidence that she could hold on for much longer.
If there is no love, then please give her money. Make their relationship simpler so that she doesn't have expectations and he doesn't have to bear the burden.

The hard day was finally over. Shen Yaochu had been feeling a little erratic after get off work. The shuttle bus stopped in the city and she walked in the uneven narrow alley carrying the steamed buns she bought from her work. After finally arriving home, she opened the door with her key. Before she even changed into her slippers, Shen Yaochu heard muffled crying coming from the living room.
When Shen Yao first raised her eyes, she already knew what was going on. When her sister-in-law saw her coming back, she immediately calmed down her expression, wiped her tears with a tissue, sniffed and said, "Mom, Yao Chu, I'll go take the kids to do their homework first."
When her sister-in-law passed by Shen Yaochu, Shen Yaochu couldn't help but get some goosebumps.
This scene is played out several times a year at home, and each time the purpose is the same - to get money.
Sure enough, as soon as the sister-in-law over there left, her mother Zhou Hongli couldn't wait to speak: "Yaochu, how long will it take for you to post your performance this quarter?" Without waiting for Shen Yaochu's answer, she started to talk about her difficulties: "Shen Yaochu. Weiyi didn't make any money this month. You know that he has a job without a basic salary. If he doesn't bill, the company only pays the insurance. You also know about his health. He has heart failure and kidney failure. Your sister-in-law doesn't have it either. Dare to force him. It's been half a year since I said it, and I need to reexamine, and I need money. Kaikai's interest class has to pay, and it costs 17,000."
The chill on Shen Yaochu's body hadn't dissipated yet. Looking at Zhou Hongli's face, she felt disappointed for a moment, but she quickly accepted it and answered coldly while picking up her scarf: "I have no money."
Shen Yaochu's four words immediately set Zhou Hongli on fire, and she immediately started typing: "Your brother is sick. He's so cruel. Who can bear the consequences if he gets sick? Your sister-in-law's salary is low, and you are my aunt." , it’s a doctor again, if you don’t subsidize it, who will?”
When Shen Yaochu heard this, she couldn't help but retort: "If they don't have money, they shouldn't have children. I've never heard of crowdfunding to raise a son."
"Can you speak any more harshly, Shen Yaochu? You live and eat at home, and I didn't even look for you..."
Shen Yaochu didn't listen patiently and interrupted directly: "Are you sure you're not looking for it? I have already given more than 30,000 yuan this year. How many months is it now? I only eat one meal at home every day. Isn't that enough?"
Shen Yaochu was already fed up with her sister-in-law's tricks, her brother's weakness, and her mother's face of asking for money. She was too lazy to continue talking and put the steamed buns bought at work on the table. "I'm not printing money. Besides, I have a child, and I have to raise my child in the future."
Shen Yao didn't say that the child was okay at first, but as soon as she did, Zhou Hongli immediately exploded like a firecracker being set off: "You have the nerve to say it? You only said it after receiving the certificate, do you want to piss me off? I married my daughter, I have never met my son-in-law, I have never met two families to have dinner together to get engaged, and I have never had a bride price of three gold to come to my door. Your idea is really too big, I think you are ready to piss your dad off from the grave!"
Shen Yaochu didn't want to mention this, and she didn't want to get entangled with Zhou Hongli. "The bride price has been agreed upon."
Thinking of the scene of talking about betrothal gifts with Gao Yuchuan, she couldn't help but feel an unbearable humiliation. She used things that she despised in the secular world to blaspheme the banished immortal. Although the banished immortal was understated, she still felt sad for herself. In front of him, she completely lost her self-esteem, which she regarded as life.
She felt the tightness in her chest unbearable, and in the end she just said: "He is flying. When he comes back, he will come to you and give you the money."
Zhou Hongli was so angry by her words that she wanted to go into the house, but she even pushed her away and scolded her: "You heartless girl, if I really wanted to make money from your marriage, why didn't I marry you earlier? I'll pay you back." Why are you reading so many books? I won’t read to your brother if he fails to pass the technical secondary school entrance exam. You can read, and you have been studying for seven years as a medical student. Do I have to grit my teeth and confess?" As she spoke, Zhou Lihong started crying. He got excited and said, "Don't I feel sorry for you getting married in such an unexplained way? Do you think I don't know that that man doesn't take you seriously at all? If he did, how could he not come home before getting the certificate?"
Shen Yaochu entered the room, but Zhou Hongli did not force her way in. There were no lights on in the room, only a night light doll under the table lamp was on, emitting a faint light.
Outside the door, Zhou Hongli was still chattering, "Am I wrong about money? Do you have to marry the kind of man who can split a dollar into two flowers for it to be called love? Poor and humble couples are miserable, so how can you tell your character accurately at a glance? The money is all on the surface, not only can you live comfortably, but we can also benefit from it. You will have a child soon. Only if you give birth to a daughter can you understand me! "
…
Shen Yaochu stood with her back against the wall, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. Zhou Hongli has always been such a contradictory existence. When she is not talking about money with her, she cares about her meticulously; when talking about money, she is extremely mean and can say all kinds of unpleasant things. Shen Yaochu's inner longing for maternal love always made her unable to make up her mind to leave the family completely.
Of course, not everything Zhou Hongli said was unreasonable. For example, the relationship between Gao Yuchuan and her was quite to the point.
Shen Yaochu smiled mockingly.

Seeing that Shen Yaochu was not in a good mood these two days, Su Xiao offered to treat her. Shen Yaochu's early pregnancy reaction had just improved a little, and she began to enter a period of lethargy again. She wanted to go back to rest instead of going to a dinner party, but Su Xiao kindly Under the circumstances, she could only keep the appointment.
Gao Yuchuan and Xia Hezhou were sitting in the corner outside the restaurant. Two grown men, Gao Yuchuan thought there was something fishy about coming to such a restaurant with a literary and artistic atmosphere. Sure enough, after a while, two young girls appeared holding hands.
Su Xiao took Shen Yaochu to sit down, and the four of them faced each other in a clear arrangement. Shen Yaochu's eyelids twitched unconsciously.
Gao Yuchuan straightened up and no longer just stared at his phone. He rolled up his shirt cuffs casually, exposing a muscular forearm, and listened to Su Xiao working hard to bring Shen Yaochu and Xia Hezhou together.
"Xia Hezhou hasn't seen anyone for two days, and Yao Chu has been asking and asking." He said, pushing Shen Yaochu's shoulder: "I'm embarrassed to see someone now."
Shen Yaochu admired Su Xiao's good match. She raised her head and looked at Xia Hezhou's innocent eyes. She felt a little headache. After thinking about it, she came up with a random reason: "There is a junior in the family who wants to take the pilot exam and wants to find Xia Hezhou." Captain’s consultation.”
"Okay, let's make an appointment alone next time."
As soon as Xia Hezhou finished speaking, Gao Yuchuan glanced at her with a smile of unknown meaning.
After a few words of chatting, he was probably a little embarrassed. Xia Hezhou reached for the cigarette case on the table, took one to his mouth, took out his lighter, and was about to light a cigarette when he was held down by a big hand.
The veins on the back of the fair hand are all well-shaped and beautiful.
Everyone present looked at the owner of that hand.
Gao Yuchuan raised his eyelids slightly and said in a low voice, "She can't smell smoke now."
