"Sister, I've told you before, I don't mind not having children. I love Jiang Yan, and whether she has them or not doesn't change my love for her. Sister, I think you've recovered quite well, why don't you go back to work at the company?" Jin Lan felt that if his sister immersed herself in work, her attention might be diverted, and she wouldn't keep pestering him and Jiang Yan about having children.
"I can't go back to the company. I'm getting old. I can clearly feel that my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. Even if I went back, I wouldn't be able to perform at my previous level. Jin Lan, I know you find your sister annoying, but I'm doing this for your own good. A couple can't go without children." Jin Qing's voice softened a bit.
"Sister, I've said it before, this is about me and my Jiang Yan. You should worry about your own family. We're still young. If we don't have children by the time we're forty, and if Jiang Yan wants them, then I'll adopt one. Please don't interfere in our affairs." Jin Lan hung up the phone after speaking. He had a headache from being angered. He really didn't want to deal with his sister's unreasonable demands, but she was his blood sister, and he couldn't cut her off.
Jin Lan truly hated himself. If his sister continued to pressure him, he'd just take Jiang Yan and flee.
...
What Jin Lan didn't know was that his casual remark had been heard by Jin Qing. That's right, why hadn't she thought of it? She could adopt a child for them first. She'd heard that adopting a child could bring luck, and perhaps after adopting one, Jiang Yan would conceive.
The more Jin Qing thought about it, the more brilliant she found her idea!
She would go find a child now and raise it for her brother and Jiang Yan. Preferably a girl, as it wouldn't be their own child. Boys shouldn't be adopted because they would eventually inherit family property, while a girl could be married off with a dowry, which would be more than enough.
Jin Qing finally had something important to do, and her spirits were high. Chu Weixian called to ask what she was doing, and Jin Qing shared her idea. Chu Weixian immediately declared that her idea was excellent and that she was truly doing what was best for Jin Lan. He would inquire about places that might have unwanted children.
After hanging up, Jin Qing called Jiang Yan's mother. They were now in-laws. Although she hadn't agreed with her son marrying Jiang Yan's sister, she had no choice but to agree when her son threatened to kill himself. However, her son and Jiang Yan had been ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, and now one married the ex-girlfriend's older sister, and the other married the ex-boyfriend's maternal uncle. The relationship itself made her feel uneasy, but despite her discomfort, no one listened to her, so she let it go.
But children were a big issue. Not only was her younger brother's family not having children, but her own son's family was also stagnant. It was a source of great worry.
...
Jiang Yan didn't deny that she loved Jin Lan deeply, but she craved freedom even more. If Jin Qing continued to torment her mentally like this, she felt she would go mad. Now, the mere sight of Jin Qing made her feel nauseous. She knew it wasn't an illness, but a physiological reaction.
She couldn't ask Jin Lan to disown his mother, so her only option was to leave him.
Though it pained her, she had to cut off the rot to save herself.
...
After Ye Wan woke up, she first took a shower and cleaned herself up before going downstairs to find something to eat. Since she couldn't leave for now, there was no need to rush. Tuan Tuan was being looked after by Jiang Mi, so she would be fine.
