Chapter 765: Unacceptable Result: Lucy's Pregnancy Discovered
Lucy, who had not been home for a long time, was afraid that her family would be rude to her, so Zhou Chen, who followed her home, did not accompany her to meet her parents. Instead, he arranged for her to stay in a nearby hotel.
The purpose, of course, was to let Lucy go back and test the waters first. If her parents were friendly to her, Lucy wouldn't mind introducing Zhou Chen to them.
If her parents still hold a grudge against her and treat her badly, Lucy will definitely turn around and leave home without any hesitation.
We've been through this for so many years without contacting each other, so let's just go our separate ways from now on.
Fortunately, Lucy's worries were unnecessary. When she knocked on the door, her mother opened the door and a hint of surprise flashed across her face when she saw Lucy coming back. She hadn't seen her daughter for so many years and she finally came back.
"Mom, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. You don't know how worried your dad and I were about you. Our family can finally have a reunion for the New Year."
Mom led Lucy into the room. Dad was a little surprised to see Lucy, but he didn't say anything. I don't know if it was because he was not good at expressing himself as a father, or if he had never forgiven Lucy in his heart.
Lucy called out "Dad", then looked at her mother. Her big oval belly meant that she was pregnant with her second child, which was a little hard for Lucy to accept.
No wonder my family hasn't contacted me for five years. After all this time, you guys think that my main account is ruined, so are you going to get a new one with a smaller one?
This result was beyond Lucy's expectations. When she came back, she thought of all the possibilities, but she never expected that her mother in her 50s would be pregnant with her second child. This moment made Lucy feel a little redundant in this family.
Returning to my room further proved this point, because the room was full of miscellaneous items, and my family even bought a baby stroller in advance. Perhaps if I didn't come back, this place would be converted into a baby room.
Putting down her things, Lucy walked into the living room and looked at her mother sitting on the sofa with a big belly. Lucy wanted to speak but didn't know how.
Lucy's mother took the initiative to tell the story. She stroked her belly and said, "You haven't been home for these years, and the New Year's Eve at home has been very quiet. So your father and I discussed having a second child so that there will be more people at home.
Think about how you ran around the house as a kid, and how warm the New Year was back then."
Lucy said with a worried look on her face: "But you are already in your fifties. Do you know the dangers of giving birth to an older woman?
To put it bluntly, when you are born you will face the malicious gazes of many people.
For example, if you take your child out to play, people will definitely not think that the child is your son, but will think that the child is your grandson. How embarrassing that would be.
Also, do you know how much it costs to raise a child now? By the time your child reaches adulthood, you'll be in your seventies or eighties. How will your child go to college, get married, and have children? Have you ever thought about these issues?
Lucy talked about the problems her parents might face in the future. This was clearly a kind reminder for their own good, but Lucy's father did not appreciate it. Instead, he said sarcastically, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about these. We won't bother you.
Your mother and I both have pensions, which are enough to support this child. Even if we die one day, it won't cause you any trouble. I believe that the child will be more sensible than you when he grows up."
These words were spoken with resentment. In your mouth, an unborn child is more sensible than me. Do you mean to say that I, a grown-up, am immature?
Lucy wanted to refute her father's words, but was stopped by her mother. It was a rare occasion for her daughter to come home, so did she have to make things uncomfortable?
"Daughter, don't listen to your father's nonsense. I'm retired and have nothing to do at home. When the baby is born in a month, I can find something to do.
You should make your own way out there and take good care of yourself. Don't worry about the things at home, your father and I can handle it."
Mom began to comfort Lucy. For her mom's sake, Lucy did not conflict with her dad. She chose to be patient. There was really no need to make a fuss during the New Year.
But this made Lucy's father a little unhappy. He snorted coldly and went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. Ever since his wife became pregnant, all the housework was his responsibility, which of course made Lucy's father feel unbalanced.
Lucy wanted to help with cooking, but her mother stopped her, so the two of them talked about what had happened in the past few years in the living room.
This action made Lucy's father even more unhappy. Why should I, a grown man, be busy like this? Do you really think you are coming home to eat free meals?
As the smell of cooking came over, Lucy, who was chatting with her mother, suddenly felt a little nauseous, so she immediately ran to the bathroom to vomit.
This scene immediately made Lucy's parents dumbfounded, because they were too familiar with this scene. Lucy's mother had the same reaction when she was pregnant a few months ago. There is a professional term for it called morning sickness.
Lucy's mother quickly came over and patted Lucy's back. This time, Lucy's father didn't even bother cooking. He turned off the fire and walked to the bathroom door, staring at his nauseous daughter.
Lucy's father didn't show any mercy to Lucy at all, but asked directly: "Are you pregnant? Don't think about lying. With your mother as an example, we are not that easy to fool."
After vomiting, Lucy wiped her mouth, then looked at her parents and nodded in acknowledgement.
This scene immediately irritated Lucy's father. He had been holding back his anger since his daughter came back, and he immediately became furious.
He started to accuse Lucy directly, but the words he said were so harsh that it made people doubt whether he was Lucy's father. Would he say that to his own daughter?
"Well, you've really grown up. Five years ago, there was a sexual harassment scandal at the company, which embarrassed us all. Five years later, you came back and had a child out of wedlock. How come you don't know how to behave yourself?
Who is the child’s father? Were you abandoned by him and came back because you had nowhere else to go?
Don't you think you've brought shame to our family enough? Do you want me to spread the word about you so that the neighbors know what kind of person you are?"
Seeing that Dad's words were getting more and more unpleasant, Mom pulled him several times, but unfortunately she couldn't hold him back. It was obvious that Dad wanted to take out all his anger on Lucy.
My daughter has a bad temper. Five years ago, I just scolded her a few words, but she was so arrogant that she chose to run away from home.
As a result, there was no news for five years, and Lucy's father often scolded his daughter for being ungrateful at home.
Unexpectedly, my daughter finally came back this year, but she gave me a surprise. It is shameful to tell others about pregnancy before marriage no matter when.
As for why Lucy's father knew that Lucy had a child before marriage, it was of course because Lucy had not been home for five years, which means that she had not come to get her household registration book. How could she get married without a household registration book?
Lucy's father thought very badly of Lucy, even thinking that she was abandoned by her man and came home with a big belly to avoid disaster. Of course, this would make Lucy's father look down on her.
Lucy frowned deeply and her expression changed. So this is how I am in your mind. At this moment, Lucy couldn't bear it anymore and she had a conflict with her father directly.
