I'm back in 1990

Chapter 749: All-round and without blind spots

"I'm Back in 1990" is causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels. Haven't you read it yet?

Just then, Jiang Rong, the eldest sister-in-law, walked in. Seeing the scene, she jokingly teased her brother-in-law and his wife, "Oh, looks like I came at the wrong time! Did I interrupt your lovey-dovey moment?"

Yu Xiang's face flushed red, but Huang Xiaochuan greeted his sister-in-law Jiang Rong as if nothing had happened: "Sister-in-law is here!"

"Uncle! Aunt!" Huang Zemian peeked out from behind Jiang Rong with a smile, it seemed that the boy had also seen what had just happened.

Yu Xiang responded to Huang Zemian with a smile while secretly pinching her man's waist, and Huang Xiaochuan could only endure it while maintaining a smile on his face.

After Zeng Lijuan told her youngest son about the matter, she turned around and went to tell Lao Huang, mainly because Lao Huang was eagerly waiting for the result of her discussion with her youngest son.

Upon seeing his wife, Lao Huang immediately asked, "What's Xiao Chuan's opinion?"

Zeng Lijuan replied with a confident expression, "Of course I agree!"

Old Huang was overjoyed but still somewhat skeptical: "Really?"

Zeng Lijuan was displeased: "How could this be fake? If you don't believe me, just go and ask around!"

Old Huang quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I definitely believe what you say."

Old Huang picked up his teacup, took a sip with relish, and even hummed a little tune.

Seeing Lao Huang's reaction, Zeng Lijuan poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Don't be too happy yet. Your second son and daughter-in-law might not even agree!"

Old Huang was so frightened that he sat up straight immediately. He quickly realized that Zeng Lijuan was deliberately trying to scare him. He knew his son's personality quite well. This matter was basically over. The main issue left was whether his second daughter-in-law was willing.

However, the elderly couple had already discussed this issue beforehand. The solution was simple and straightforward: they would give her money directly. As long as she agreed to give birth, they would give her one million yuan, and another two million yuan after the birth. They would also arrange everything for her postpartum care, nutrition, and childcare, so that their second daughter-in-law would have no worries. She could just focus on giving birth, and she wouldn't have to worry about anything else. The elderly couple would also take care of everything for their grandson or granddaughter's schooling and marriage in the future.

Furthermore, they planned to tell their second daughter-in-law frankly that after they passed away, they would leave a larger portion of their inheritance to them, so that she could rest assured.

Old Huang firmly believes that by doing this, the chances of his second daughter-in-law agreeing to have the child will reach 90%.

Moreover, Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan had already discussed it and decided to visit Cheng's parents, their in-laws, to explain the situation clearly and thoroughly, and to gain their support. Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan believed that their in-laws would definitely support their opinion, since it would be a good thing for both families.

The whole family had a lively lunch together. After resting for a while, the families were about to go home when Zeng Lijuan called her second son back.

"Erhe, wait a while with Cheng Jing before you leave. I need to talk to you about something!"

Then he said to his second daughter-in-law, Cheng Jing, "Cheng Jing, you play with the children for a while. I need to talk to Erhe about something!"

"Okay, Mom!" Cheng Jing replied with a smile, but in her heart she was wondering why her mother-in-law wanted to see her husband.

Zeng Lijuan led Huang Erhe to the study on the first floor, where Old Huang was already waiting. However, Zeng Lijuan was the one who spoke to her second son, while he could only offer some encouragement and express his opinion from the sidelines.

After Huang Erhe sat down, Zeng Lijuan went straight to the point with her second son, saying, "Erhe! Have you considered having another child with Cheng Jing?"

Just then, Huang Erhe, who had just taken a sip of tea, was made to spit it all out by his mother's words. The worst part was that he wasn't prepared at all! Why did she suddenly bring this up?

As Huang Erhe awkwardly wiped the tea stains off his clothes, he asked, "Mom, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"What's with all the fuss? You're over forty and still so clumsy!" Zeng Lijuan complained.

He then added definitively, "I've made myself perfectly clear. Are you young and hard of hearing?"

This time, Huang Erhe really heard clearly. After stammering for a long time, he finally blurted out incoherently, "No, Mom, how could that be?!"

After calming himself down, Huang Erhe earnestly explained the seriousness of the matter to his parents: "Mom! Don't even think about doing something like that. It's not allowed by policy. If we really did that, Cheng Jing and I would be expelled."

Little did anyone expect that Zeng Lijuan had come prepared; she had already come up with a plan.

"Oh my! It's not a big deal if you two lose your jobs. Are you going to starve if you lose them? Don't worry about your jobs. You can always find another one." Zeng Lijuan said this with confidence because her youngest son was there to back her up. Besides, her second son received a large sum of money from trusts every month and lived a carefree life even without a job. In Zeng Lijuan's opinion, having children was more important than a job.

Huang Erhe was stunned when he heard his mother say that. He didn't expect his mother to be more confident than him, which left him speechless!

Then, after a moment's thought, Huang Erhe said, "Mom, I'm not young anymore. Let's not even talk about whether I can still have children. Even if I did, wouldn't someone need to take care of them? Wouldn't they need to educate them? Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble? Haven't you considered any of these things?"

Unfortunately, experience prevailed, and Zeng Lijuan laid out her conditions directly: "Let's put aside the question of whether you can have the child for now. I'm just asking you, are you going to have it or not? Your father and I have already considered everything you just mentioned. As long as you and Cheng Jing agree to have the child, your father and I will immediately give Cheng Jing one million yuan. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, once the child is born, your father and I will give Cheng Jing another two million yuan. We will be responsible for all the expenses of this child from infancy to adulthood, so you don't need to worry about it. Even if your father and I are no longer around, we will leave an inheritance for this child."

Huang Erhe was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that his mother and father had been plotting all along, and today they had called him here to confront them.

What should we do now? All our escape routes are blocked, and there's no way to back down.

Seeing Huang Erhe's hesitation, Old Huang spoke up: "Erhe! We're doing this for your and Cheng Jing's own good. Think about it, if you and Cheng Jing had a child together, it would be a good thing for both of you. Think about it carefully, doesn't that make sense?"

"Dad, I know you two mean well, but this all happened so suddenly, I wasn't prepared at all!"

At this moment, the elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, said, "What do you need to prepare for having a baby? You yourself said that you are not young anymore. Hurry up and go back to persuade Chengjing, and get this done as soon as possible. Tomorrow, your father and I will go to the bank to transfer money to Chengjing."

Zeng Lijuan added, "By the way, don't worry about the policy stuff. I've already talked to Xiaochuan, and he said that as long as you agree to have the baby, he'll handle the rest!"

Huang Xiaochuan never expected that his mother would bring him up in the conversation, instead of following the original agreement that he would first persuade Huang Erhe before promising to cover for him.

When Huang Erhe heard that his parents had also spoken to his younger brother, he realized that it seemed they had no choice but to have this child!

He could only concede: "Then let me discuss it with Cheng Jing first, okay?"

"Of course. This is something you were supposed to discuss with Cheng Jing. Just tell her exactly what your dad and I said. We mean what we say."

Zeng Lijuan paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, I was planning to go with your father to see your parents-in-law in the next few days to discuss this matter with them. I believe they will support our decision."

"Huh?" Huang Erhe didn't expect his parents to have thought of this step. This was truly comprehensive and thorough!

To be honest, at this point, Huang Erhe isn't really against having this child. There are too many benefits to having a child. It's not that he's after his parents' money; having a child with Cheng Jing would be a joyous occasion.

Huang Erhe decided to have a good talk with Cheng Jing about this matter!
