Now that Hao Dongmei knew that Zheng Juan was pregnant with twins, she actually had this idea. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.

If he could be adopted, even if the child was not born to him and Hao Dongmei, he would still be a child of their Zhou family and would have some blood relationship with him, and would definitely be much closer to him than an adopted child.

But the problem is that although their relationship with Zhou Chen has eased compared to a few years ago, it is still quite tense in private. He feels that there is no possibility of expecting Zhou Chen to agree to the adoption.

"Dongmei, I think this matter is still..."

"Don't say it."

Hao Dongmei rudely interrupted Zhou Bingyi and shouted in dissatisfaction: "I know what you want to say. You just think I am wishful thinking. But Bingyi, why do I have such thoughts? Partly for myself, but more for you. You have no descendants because of me, but I don't want you to be really childless."

"There was no chance before, but it's different now. Zheng Juan is pregnant with twins. If you have this idea, we may not have no chance."

Zhou Bingyi was confused: "But I really can't bring this up with Bingkun. You know his personality. If I bring this up in front of him, he will definitely turn hostile to me. Then our relationship will only become more strained."

Although Hao Dongmei was angry, she also knew that what Zhou Bingyi said was true. While she was angry, she also secretly regretted it.

If that incident had not happened, and they could have maintained a good relationship with their brother-in-law, this matter might have been accomplished.

"Is it really impossible? Bingyi, you can discuss it with your parents. I think they will definitely be willing to make this happen." Hao Dongmei suggested reluctantly.

Zhou Bingyi was very hesitant and his expression kept changing.

He was sure that there was no hope for his younger brother Zhou Bingkun, but if he went to ask his parents for help, would it be possible?

He really didn't know the answer to this question, because he felt that if he asked, his parents might really help him.

But the problem still lies with Zhou Chen. Even if his parents are willing to help him, he is Zhou Chen's son and his parents cannot make a decision for Zhou Chen.

Chapter 630 Zhou Rong returns, tough Zheng Juan

The daughter's urging and the son-in-law's embarrassment, Jin Yueji saw all of these.

At this moment, her mood was undoubtedly complicated, because when her daughter made this suggestion just now, she was also moved.

My daughter has no children, which is a lifelong pain for her. If she could adopt a blood-related child, she would definitely agree with it.

She is old, and actually longs to have a child by her side so that she won't be so bored.

Their family doesn't have a child that can be adopted, but the Zhou family does, and it's a newly conceived child.

Adoption is a helpless act, but if you can adopt a child who has not grown up and has no self-awareness, it is undoubtedly the best thing.

But she also knew that given the current relationship between their family and Zhou Chen, it would be extremely difficult to ask Zhou Chen to adopt his unborn child.

When she heard her daughter ask her in-laws for help, she frowned unconsciously.

"Dongmei, don't act rashly on this matter. Listen to Bingyi's advice."

Hao Dongmei looked at her mother in confusion: "Why? Mom, don't you want us to have a child? I have been in the obstetrics and gynecology department for so many years. Every time I see someone holding a baby, I feel very uncomfortable. You won't understand."

Jin Yueji hurriedly advised: "Dongmei, that's not what you think. I mean, you want to adopt Zhou Bingkun's child, and it's unwise to ask his parents to come forward."

"Why? I know Zhou Bingkun's personality a little bit. Although he is very strong and sometimes cold, he is really good to my mother-in-law. If my mother-in-law says something, he will definitely consider it."

"Dongmei, what you think is indeed correct, but it is a bit too one-sided. It is true that Zhou Bingkun is a filial person, but the premise of all this is that his interests will not be affected. What's more, he is a very domineering and selfish person. You want to make him compromise through your in-laws, which is impossible."

As soon as Jin Yueji finished speaking, Zhou Bingyi agreed: "Dongmei, Mom is right. I also think that Bingkun will not listen to my parents in this matter."

The flame of hope was extinguished, and Hao Dongmei shouted angrily: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Jin Yueji didn't care about her daughter's attitude. She knew that her daughter had a bad mentality and was easily led astray by her emotions whenever she encountered major events.

"If there is someone who can change Zhou Bingkun, then there is only one person, Zheng Juan."

"Zheng Juan?"

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were both surprised when they heard Jin Yueji's words.

Hao Dongmei couldn't understand what her mother meant. She said, "Mom, you may not know Zheng Juan. She is a very simple wife, the kind of good wife and mother. She listens to Zhou Chen in everything at home. It's impossible to expect her to convince Zhou Chen."

Although Zhou Bingyi felt that his mother-in-law had more experience than them, he also agreed with Hao Dongmei on this matter.

"Mom, Dongmei is right. Zheng Juan is a person without her own opinion. She is indeed a good wife and a good mother. She is filial to the elderly, takes good care of the children, and manages the Zhou family very well. But she is a person from the old society at heart. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that she follows the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, but she definitely puts my brother first in everything."

"And to be honest, it's her blessing to marry into our family. With Bingkun's conditions at the time, he would definitely find someone better than her. So, it's more realistic to expect her, a primary school graduate, to convince someone like my brother. I think it's better for my parents to talk to Bingkun."

Jin Yueji looked at her daughter and son-in-law and asked, "Do you all think so?"

"Isn't it right?"

"Yes, but not entirely right."

Jin Yueji gave an ambiguous answer and said with a serious face, "Your evaluation is good. Zheng Juan is definitely worthy of being a good wife and a good mother. But if you say that she has no opinion and no ability and is not worthy of Zhou Bingkun, I don't agree with this."

"The ability of a woman is not determined by how much she has achieved outside, but by how well she manages her home. Zheng Juan has been married to your Zhou family for more than ten years, and has never caused anyone to worry about her parents or children. This ability alone is better than that of most women in the world."

"You think Zheng Juan has no opinion and listens to Zhou Bingkun on everything, but in my opinion, it's just the opposite. The reason why Zheng Juan is willing to listen to Zhou Bingkun is because she thinks Zhou Bingkun is right."

"Look at Zhou Bingkun again. In your eyes, he is a very domineering, stubborn, and unkind person. He has a bad relationship with many people, including you. But in fact, he is a very filial person. Have you ever seen him quarrel with your mother? Have you ever seen him quarrel with Zheng Juan?"

"Zhou Bingkun is a man who respects his wife very much. You only see that Zheng Juan listens to him in everything, but you don't see that he actually respects Zheng Juan very much. I can guarantee that if there is anyone who can make him change his mind willingly, it is only Zheng Juan."

"In this respect, he is actually somewhat similar to Dongmei's father."

After listening to Jin Yueji's analysis, Zhou Bingyi seemed to be thinking about something, while Hao Dongmei looked doubtful.

"Is that right?"

Zhou Bingyi said, "Dongmei, I think mom's analysis makes sense. Why don't we talk to Zheng Juan?"

Jin Yueji said: "You can talk to Zheng Juan, but not now. Zheng Juan has just been pregnant for a short time. If you go to her now and something unexpected happens, you can't bear the responsibility."

"Then when should we go talk to Zheng Juan?" asked Hao Dongmei.

"Let's wait until she gives birth. By then, Zheng Juan will definitely be full of maternal love, and the chances of success will be greater."

Jin Yueji's shrewdness convinced Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei.

…………

Zhou Chen naturally had no idea that his unborn child had been targeted by someone. His main focus now was on Zheng Juan, and he had put his career aside.

Life passed simply and happily. A few months went by in a flash, and before the blink of an eye, it was time for Zheng Juan to give birth.

Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to take Zheng Juan to Yanjing Hospital to give birth, but Zheng Juan was worried about her three children and felt it was not good for her to run around with a big belly, so she finally chose to give birth in Jichun.

Through Hao Dongmei's connection, I found the best single room in the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department.

Because she was pregnant with twins, Zheng Juan's movements became very difficult in the final stages. In addition, she was an elderly mother. It would be okay for one baby, but in the case of twins, the risk of natural delivery was too great.

Finally, Zhou Chen made a decision and chose a caesarean section for the safety of both adults and children.

Caesarean section was not a problem for Zhou Chen, but at this time he felt it was better to be cautious and not do it by himself. He was also not very confident in Jichun's doctor, so he spent a lot of money to invite a senior teacher from Yanjing to come to Jichun for help.

The caesarean section process went very smoothly, and Zheng Juan gave birth to two babies, but they were not twins as everyone had speculated, but a boy and a girl.

The birth of the twins, a boy and a girl, filled the Zhou family with joy. Even Zheng Guangming, who was far away in Pengcheng, came back from afar to accompany Zheng Juan.

When his children were one month old, Zhou Chen held a grand ceremony with dozens of tables of relatives and friends. Even people from the province and the city came to offer their blessings, allowing all the relatives and friends of the Zhou family to witness Zhou Chen's power.

When the baby was one month old, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng also returned from the capital Yanjing to attend.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, who attended the full-moon ceremony, did not leave Jichun immediately, but stayed at home.

In fact, their return to Jichun this time was not just for their nephew's full-month gift, but also for their own plans.

In Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua's room, Zhou Rong sat with the old couple and chatted, while Feng Huacheng sat beside them to keep them company.

"Mom, you guys weren't in Yanjing for over a year, so it was just Huacheng and I staying there. It was so lonely. We didn't even have a place to go during our rest time."

Zhou Rong put her arm around her mother Li Suhua's shoulders and complained about her lonely life in Yanjing for more than a year.

Li Suhua patted Zhou Rong's hand and said, "During your break, you can go for a walk with Huacheng. Yanjing is such a big place, and Huacheng is a poet. It will be good for you to walk around more."

When Zhou Rong heard Li Suhua say that Feng Huacheng was a poet, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes unconsciously, because she looked down on Feng Huacheng for what he had done over the years.

In the past, she was willing to run to your province to find Feng Huacheng regardless of the danger, because she admired him. But after these years, Feng Huacheng was no longer the poet she used to admire. Instead, he became more vulgar than ordinary people.

How brilliant Feng Huacheng was in the past, but how humble and insignificant he is now.

Not to mention far away, let's take herself as an example. She has been improving all these years, developing in a good direction, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes an associate professor.

Compared with her, Feng Huacheng is really a bit unambitious, cowardly and incompetent.

Zhou Rong suddenly rolled her eyes and asked, "Mom, what do you think about Huacheng and I returning to Jichun to work?"

"what?"

Li Suhua immediately let out a cry of surprise, and even Zhou Zhigang's expression became serious.

"Rong'er, you are serious, do you really want to go back to Jichun?"

"We have this idea. It's mainly because I feel too lonely in Yanjing. I can't even see my daughter. Jichun University sent me a letter before, saying that they want to invite me to teach at their school, but I have been thinking about it and haven't made a decision yet."

Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang looked at each other and said, "Rong, your father and I certainly hope that you can come back. If you can come back, our family can be reunited. In your father's and my eyes, there is nothing better than a family reunion and living happily together."

Zhou Rong was pleasantly surprised and asked, "So you mean that you agree that Huacheng and I should go back to Jichun to work?"

Zhou Zhigang interrupted, "Rong'er, your mother and I will definitely not object, but you have to think it over carefully. I heard from Bingkun that Yueyue and Ruirui will have to return to Yanjing in their senior year of high school and take the college entrance examination there. They will most likely go to college there in the future. If you come back now, it may not be easy for you to see Yueyue in the future."

"Yes, your father is right, Rong'er, you have to think it over carefully."

Zhou Rong frowned. She had not thought of this. What she had considered before was that she and Feng Huacheng had no one to rely on in Yanjing, and their work was not going well.

If they could return to Jichun, they would definitely have more opportunities than in Yanjing, especially Feng Huacheng. The Jichun Writers Association is definitely not comparable to the Yanjing Writers Association. Feng Huacheng is not valued in Yanjing, but if he returns to Jichun, he will definitely be promoted.

Over the years, Zhou Rong's heart was filled with anxiety at the achievements of her older and younger brothers. She had always been arrogant and proud, and it was bad enough that she was not as good as her eldest brother, but she was actually far behind her younger brother, whom she had looked down upon in the past.

Now she has faced the reality that she will never be able to compare with Zhou Chen in this life. As long as she can develop better and make her daughter change her mind and come back to them, she will be satisfied.

After thinking seriously for a while, Zhou Rong still felt that her own development and that of her husband were more important. Only if she developed well could she win her daughter back in the future.

"Dad, Mom, we've thought it over and we still want to go back to Jichun."

…………

Zhou Rong is also a person of action. After making the decision, she did not delay any longer and started preparing as soon as she returned to Yanjing.

In less than half a month, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng returned to Jichun.

Zhou Rong went to Jichun University to be a teacher, while Feng Huacheng joined the Jichun Writers Association. At this moment, they were both ambitious and wanted to make a big splash in Jichun.

Ever since Zhou Chen's twins were born, Hao Dongmei has come to see them almost every day. Even when the children have returned home, she will make a detour to Zhou's house to see the children every time she comes home from get off work.

Looking at the two newborn children, she was even happier than Zheng Juan, the mother. Especially when she saw the baby boy, her eyes lit up.

After the child was born, she thought about it carefully. According to normal people's thinking, the son must be more important, but she knew that Zhou Chen was not the type who favored boys over girls, not to mention that Zhou Chen already had two sons.

Under this premise, she felt that Zhou Chen should care more about his daughter.

In her heart, among the two babies, a boy and a girl, she definitely prefers the boy. An adopted child is only a child in name only, so a son is definitely better.

So her target was the son named Zhou Jia by Zhou Chen.

Shortly after the baby was one month old, Zhou Chen went to Pengcheng again for company matters, and Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi began to take action during this period.

In order to succeed, Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi called Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua to the room, and then told Zheng Juan their purpose.

Zheng Juan was quite grateful to her sister-in-law for her frequent visits, but when she learned from Hao Dongmei that she actually wanted to adopt her child to her eldest brother, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she instantly felt strongly dissatisfied.

She is a gentle person who rarely loses her temper, but she also has her own bottom line.

When she was pregnant with the twins, she suffered much more than the previous two times. These two were her own flesh and blood, so how could she bear to give them to others, even if they were her husband's older brother and sister-in-law?

So she gave her answer without much hesitation.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I can't make the decision on this matter. You should wait for Bingkun to come back and discuss it with him."

Although she was dissatisfied, she couldn't refuse openly, so she pushed the problem directly to Zhou Chen. She knew her husband and knew very well that he would never give his child away.

Hao Dongmei began to play the victim: "Juan'er, we know Bingkun won't agree easily, so we come to beg you. We have been relatives for more than ten years. Although we have some minor conflicts with Bingkun, we are still a family. You should also know the efforts Bingyi and I have made for the children over the years. We really have no choice. We were already desperate, but when we saw Jiajia and Xiaolingdang, we really had hope, so..."

Seeing Hao Dongmei started crying while talking, Zheng Juan looked very sympathetic, but sympathy was sympathy, and she really couldn't do it when asked to give her own child away.

No matter how many children their family has now, they can all afford to raise them. Even if they can't, no matter how hard or tiring it is, she will never give her children away.

So no matter how miserable or sincere Hao Dongmei described herself, she never gave in.

Zhou Zhigang was sitting next to him and wanted to take out a cigarette several times, but he held back.

In fact, ever since Zhou Chen asked him to go out to work, he has devoted himself to his work and has rarely smoked. Recently, because of the birth of his grandson and granddaughter, he has hardly smoked at home. He would only run to the yard outside or lie by the window to smoke a couple of cigarettes when he really couldn't help it.

Before coming to see Zheng Juan, the eldest son and daughter-in-law had already told them about this matter.
