Chapter 115 Giving Birth to a Son
Nothing can be hidden from one's spouse. Jia Dongjin did not hide the fact that he was practicing Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). He often trained in front of Qin Huairu by the river and in the back room. Qin Huairu did not understand martial arts and only hoped that Jia Dongjin would not cause trouble.
Jia Dongjin was amazing in many ways, and it was normal for him to be good at fighting. Qin Huairu was a woman and didn't care too much. Jia Dongjin had also told her to keep it a secret and not to spread it.
Therefore, no one in the No. 95 courtyard knew that Jia Dongjin could fight. Liu Haizhong did not take it seriously at all and rashly went to Jia's door, resulting in a great loss.
Spurred by the fight, Qin Huairu decided to have a son, and as soon as possible.
Jia Dongjin refused, saying that women who give birth repeatedly are actually very weak, and Huaihua was only four months old. Even if they wanted to have a child, they would have to wait until Huaihua was eight months old and weaned.
Deep down, he had already decided that he would wait at least a year after Qin Huairu had recovered before considering having children. By then, rations would be restored, and refined grains, meat, milk, and eggs would be readily available in the market. 61 years later would be a better time to have children.
As for the reason why Bang Geng needs her brothers to help her fight, it's just a reaction to her inner fears. Nobody's stupid these days. They know Jia Dongjin is good at fighting, yet they still stubbornly go looking for a beating.
He believed that after this fight, no one would dare to provoke him again. His only worry was backstabbing, such as whistleblower reports and false accusations.
"I still want a son. If you can't bear to see me so weak, I'll have Jingru come over. As long as I agree to divorce you and let you marry Jingru, she'll definitely be willing, and it won't stop me from secretly serving you."
If it weren't for the men's fierce courage, the Jia family would have suffered a great loss. Jia Dongjin might have been dealt with, or even crippled.
If Qin Huairu were Yi Zhonghai, she would never waste such a good opportunity; at worst, she would just pay compensation afterward.
Money can be earned again, but the Jia family will be completely ruined from now on, and there will be no more joy. Even the youngest son will have a hard time growing up safely. Don't underestimate the wickedness of human nature.
In the courtyard at No. 95, the Jia family now has enemies on all sides, having made enemies with all three stewards.
Especially the powerful Liu Haizhong family, Liu Haizhong has three sons, the Yan family also has three sons, but the Jia family only has one son. Jia Zhangshi mentioned that Jia Dongjin would grow old and frail sooner or later. Qin Huairu could not accept the tragic future, and for the first time she seriously made a request, even mentioning that she was willing to be a concubine.
When survival becomes a problem, people can no longer care about anything else. Compared with survival, everything else is just trivial. Qin Huairu was no exception.
Jia Dongjin never dreamed that Liu Haizhong's visit would cause Qin Huairu such a great psychological shock, even leading her to utter the foolish words of giving up her position.
At this moment, his whole body was ice cold, and he felt his blood flowing backward. He let out another painful roar.
"Huai Ru, we are human beings, we are human beings!"
"Huai Ru, believe me, don't be so paranoid, don't think that far ahead. I will teach Bang Geng martial arts in the future. Believe me, I will definitely rise to become a leader and will never be bullied by anyone."
As it turns out, changing the strategy of "Gou Dao" was absolutely the right thing to do. Even so, even though Jia Dongjin was promoted to team leader, the Jia family was still bullied by the beasts in the courtyard.
This once again proves that Jia Dongjin is not powerful enough; Liu Haizhong's audacity in challenging the Jia family is clear evidence of this.
Even Qin Huairu wavered, leaving Jia Dongjin in a truly awkward position.
To bolster the woman's confidence, for the first time since his transmigration, Jia Dongjin spoke with her in detail about Li Huaide, including the process of seeking refuge with him and his subsequent plans.
Of course, having children was an unavoidable topic. The two were still young, and having children was something that could be done easily. Jia Dongjin chose to tell the truth.
"Huai Ru, we're still young, we'll have plenty of time to have children later. Besides, we already have a son, so it doesn't matter whether we have a son or not. Your health is the most important thing. I want to spend my whole life with you, don't leave me all alone as an old man in the end."
No matter how rugged the road ahead,
As long as the direction is correct
Both are closer to happiness than standing still.
Spirited Away
In an instant, Jia Dongjin remembered these words. After explaining them, he went to tease Xiao Huaihua. Xiao Dang was already one year and seven months old and was now sleeping in the middle courtyard of the Jia family, with Jia Zhangshi and Qin Jingru taking care of him and sleeping on the kang in the inner room.
Men cherish themselves, and what they say makes sense. Since they have sided with Li Huaide, if they really become leaders, all problems will no longer be problems.
This is a new society; no one is foolish enough to bully leading cadres. The Jia family will remain as stable as Mount Tai in the courtyard.
Jia Dongjin's words make sense. He is working hard to implement his plan and has now become a cadre.
The man is too young, and he is capable; one could even say he has a bright future.
With Deputy Factory Director Li as her backer, Qin Huairu's advancement to leadership was not just wishful thinking. She could not refute this, so she could only obey and choose to support the man from behind, doing what a woman could do.
For example, taking good care of your man, enduring long journeys together, and not overworking him, etc.
As expected, the beast became his opponent. So far, Jia Dongjin has fought against all three stewards of the courtyard house and achieved a perfect record of victory, with brilliant results and spoils of war amounting to 700 yuan.
Jia Dongjin's words made sense. Qin Huairu thought about it again and realized that she had indeed been thinking too far ahead. Waiting for Jia Dongjin to grow old and frail was decades away. She had just been a bit paranoid.
"Good man, as long as you give me a son, I'll do whatever you say."
No matter how the man comforted her, progress and having children were not mutually exclusive; they could walk on two legs. In order to have a son, Qin Huairu decided to try again.
Therefore, she decided to have a serious talk with Jia Dongjin about having a child and expressed her willingness to make the effort.
Anyway, she didn't lose out. She knew that fighting with Jia Dongjin was incredibly enjoyable, but the experience was something she couldn't share with outsiders.
When she was having a private conversation with Liu Lan, Liu Lan clearly expressed her envy and even jokingly said that if Qin Huairu couldn't accept it, she would be happy to try to help. This made Qin Huairu panic, fearing that if the man was not satisfied, he would go out and have affairs.
Jia Dongjin repeatedly claimed that husband and wife are equal, that Qin Huairu belongs to Jia Dongjin, and that Jia Dongjin also belongs to Qin Huairu. She would never allow a man to pick wildflowers by the roadside, not Zhang Qin, and certainly not Liu Lan.
"You promised, so you have to keep your word."
When the topic of having children comes up, Jia Dongjin is no longer sleepy. He instantly becomes energetic and even eager to try.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Thinking about being closer to her husband, Qin Huairu's face turned as red. She sat up in her favorite position, raised her head, and glared at the man fiercely.
A good relationship between husband and wife can effectively relieve stress, and women often have this intention in mind.
"Understood, I'll do whatever you say."
A tacit understanding had formed between them; they were of one mind. Having lived two lives, Jia Dongjin once again understood the goodness of his lover.
But at the crucial last moment, Jia Dongjin suddenly remembered that he needed to wait for Qin Huairu to recover before having a child, so he stopped, leaving Qin Huairu disappointed. She looked at the man with resentment, but was too exhausted to move even a finger, and could only angrily say, "How did I end up marrying such an animal!"
"Swearing is bad, especially swearing at the head of the household; it must be punished!"
"No, you have to teach me first. You always say you love me, but what is love?"
This question was too profound, and Jia Dongjin abruptly stopped.
According to Sternberg's triangular theory of love, love consists of three basic components: passion (intense attraction and desire), intimacy (emotional connection and understanding), and commitment (the determination to commit to and maintain the relationship).
In his previous life, Jia Dongjin had also been in love, but unfortunately, the other party was a master's student from Tsinghua University, and the woman's level was too high, so she ultimately did not take a liking to him.
After a moment of contemplation, Jia Dongjin carefully chose his words and said, "Love doesn't necessarily mean being willing to die for each other, but it definitely means being inseparable. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat or sleep well, and you won't have the energy to do anything."
"You proposed to me in public because you love me?" the woman asked hopefully, clinging to a sliver of hope.
"Back then it was familial affection, now it's love, Huai Ru, I can't live without you!"
Between husband and wife, both truth and falsehood should be told, each with its own applicable scope. At this time, Jia Dongjin chose to honestly tell the truth.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Good person, I actually like you the way you are. If you take it easy and can have children, I'll like you even more."
"Don't say 'like,' say 'love'!"
Qin Huairu was almost too embarrassed. Even though her pretty face turned bright red, she couldn't say the word "love." She hugged her husband like an octopus, expressing her feelings through her actions.
In the dead of night, after the woman fell asleep, Jia Dongjin squinted and began to think about He Yuzhu from the original drama, including the subtle clues, in order to decide how to deal with this foolish Zhu in the future.
