Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Gone Stupid (Monthly Ticket Extra) Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Gone Stupid (Monthly Ticket Extra) “Nobody has confidence in me!” Li Haian complained.
“You’re still young, a bit unstable, but you’ll get better over time. Don’t be upset about Dad talking to you like this,” Wang Yan said in a down-to-earth manner, actually afraid that Li Haian would feel alienated from him.
After all, he was a stepfather.
Whether he spoke too softly or too harshly, it seemed there could be problems, but in his heart, he genuinely cared for these three kids and Bai Yue as his own family. Even though he knew that they might be uncomfortable with what he said, he definitely didn’t want to pretend that everything was fine. These kids were forming their own personalities and starting to move in different directions.
If they, as parents, didn’t guide them well and the kids eventually went astray, that would be truly regrettable.
Haiping was of course the most reassuring, but Hai’an was impulsive, liked to show off, and was a bit restless. Without timely warnings, who knew how arrogant he could become?
Hai’an mumbled, “I know, you’re doing it for my good, otherwise you wouldn’t bother. I do understand what’s right and wrong!” But the best thing about Hai’an was that as long as things were discussed openly, he didn’t hold grudges.
Watching the two brothers head out, Wang Yan sighed with worry that once outside, Hai’an would want to grab the car keys, and Haiping, being someone who always indulged his younger brother, could easily spoil Hai’an.
Bai Yue rubbed his brow and laughed, “You really are like a real father, I’m starting to be afraid of you, always nagging. Why don’t you ask me what’s been wrong with me lately?��� Her voice was heavily laden with teasing.
Wang Yan pinched Bai Yue’s hand and pulled her to sit on the chair in front of him, “Bai Yue, tell me honestly, what’s going on? You keep saying it’s nothing, but I’m really worried. You’re young and healthy, and then suddenly you’re having all these problems. I’m mainly worried about whether those years carrying Shitou have left you with any issues? I want to spend my life with you, and when we’re old, we should be able to walk down the street holding hands together.
So, I’m particularly worried. You don’t know how I’ve been unable to sleep these past few nights, watching you sleep soundly next to me like a little pig, it’s been tormenting me.”
This was a very serious issue.
Bai Yue laughed, and whispered a few words into Wang Yan’s ear with a giggly smile.
Wang Yan stared at Bai Yue, dumbfounded, motionless.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Bai Yue nudged Wang Yan, hoping she hadn’t shocked him into stupidity.
Wang Yan suddenly hugged Bai Yue and laughed in silly delight.
“Wife, we must have this child, can we?”
It was his first time being a father, and he was so excited that he hardly knew what to do with himself. At his age, finally having a child was a reason for immense happiness.
Bai Yue nodded, “I want to have it too! I’m just worried about the family planning policy, if the child can’t be registered, they’ll end up undocumented!” She also wanted the child.
Wang Yan was worried too; the family planning policy was strictly enforced. In their village, if a family had a boy, they couldn’t have another child. If the first was a girl, they could try for a second child. Those who didn’t have a son were desperate to have one, not knowing how many sneaked away to try outside the village.
If caught, they would be forced to go to the hospital for an abortion and sterilization surgery.
“Don’t be afraid, wife, we will manage it. When you’re pregnant, you rest at home, and I’ll take care of everything, I’ll make sure you’re able to safely give birth,” Wang Yan’s first thought was how to protect his wife and child.
