Chapter 1050 The woman I have loved all my life wants me to have no descendants
Are children important?
Of course it matters!
This is the continuation of life, the crystallization of love, the foundation of marriage, and the hope of life.
Li Xiangnan himself really wants a child of his own, let alone Xu Damao and He Dashuang, two men who have been trapped on this issue for almost half their lives!
So whose child is it?
Judging from the physical condition, it is unlikely to be Xu Damao's!
After all, his kidney function is not very good.
But who can say for sure?
Can Xu Damao's physical fitness be the same as it is now after more than ten years?
Maybe he was even more vigorous and powerful than me back then?
Li Xiangnan wasn't so sure.
Is it He Dashuang’s?
Maybe it is possible.
Who knows how many times he and Luo Fei were close more than ten years ago?
Some people win the prize in one go, while others, like Xu Damao, live in constant fear.
But now, without DNA technology to verify the child's genes, everything is in vain.
However, Luo Fei's return with the child was like dropping a bombshell on the peaceful courtyard.
The Xu family will never have peace.
Naturally, the He family could not escape the fate of civil strife.
“Can we live in peace?”
Watching the lightning streak across the sky again, Li Xiangnan asked this question softly.
The mother didn't answer, but just smiled and went into the house to call Ruobai.
It's raining heavily, making it inconvenient to go home. It would be bad to get caught in the rain and get a cold!
Before Li Xiangnan finished smoking his cigarette, Xu Damao returned to the backyard.
Seeing him sitting in front of the house, Xu Damao wiped the rain from his forehead with his sleeve, glanced at the shadowy house, but did not go in. Instead, he stood under the hanging flower gate in a daze.
"Brother Damao, come and sit for a while!" Li Xiangnan waved.
Zhu Qiuju came out of the house and saw Xu Damao coming. She went into the house, moved a stool, brought out a blanket, and said she would give it to Lei Jin's mother, then went to the next yard.
"Have a cigarette!" Xu Damao took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Xiangnan. He also smoked one and said with a melancholy face, "Doctor Li, I have been married since 62, and it has been years! I have changed two wives, but I still can't have a child. They all laugh at me..."
Li Xiangnan smoked a cigarette, not knowing how to comfort him.
"People in the yard said that I had done too many bad things and I got my retribution! The worst of the three unfilial acts is not having a son or daughter. The neighbors laughed at me for bringing shame to the Xu family and poked me in the spine, saying that I was unfilial!"
"Even when I was walking on the street, there were kids in the alleys laughing at me and saying I couldn't have children! I've had enough of all the gossip over the years!"
"Can I not want a child?"
Xu Damao hugged his arms and stared at the ground with red eyes, "I want a child more than anyone else! Luo Heng's appearance gave me hope! Doctor Li, I really hope that child is mine!"
The autumn rain fell on the already heavy branches of the jujube tree, adding more weight to the branches than their own. The raindrops fell downwards and hit the shorter branches and leaves, so that a strange rustling sound could be heard from time to time in the backyard.
Even the jujube tree seemed to be expressing its injustice for Xu Damao's miserable life.
"Doctor Li, if someone asks, can you say he is my child?"
Turning his head, Xu Damao looked at Li Xiangnan with red eyes and trembling lips. He was afraid that the other party would say no.
Li Xiangnan was stunned.
After Xu Damao said this, it was obvious that it no longer mattered who the child really belonged to.
As long as the child comes out of Luo Fei's belly, he will treat it as his own flesh and blood!
Once upon a time, this man who divorced Luo Fei for various reasons also loved her deeply, right?
But in the end Li Xiangnan said nothing.
Every word you say has its cause and effect.
Xu Damao seemed to understand Li Xiangnan's attitude. He sighed and smiled to comfort himself: "Hey, Doctor Li, it's hard for you too! Let's go, go to bed early tonight!"
After saying this, he wiped the cigarette on the sole of his shoe, put the half-smoked cigarette in his hand back into the box, stood up, walked into the rain, opened the door and went home.
Soon, a low noise was heard from the opposite side, blending into the autumn rainy night.
But Li Xiangnan also heard another set of footsteps coming from the central courtyard.
Soon, he saw He Dashuang coming over with a jar of wine.
"Doctor Li!" He Dashuang stood under the hanging flower gate with an apologetic look on his face. He did not dare to enter the yard. He just called out softly, earnestly waiting for Li Xiangnan's response.
"Brother Dashuang! Come and sit down!"
Li Xiangnan waved.
"Hey!" He Dashuang ran over happily, put the wine jar at his feet, sat on the stool, took out two wine bowls from his arms, opened a bag of peanuts and pork head, poured them into the oil paper bag and put them directly on the ground, "Shall we have a drink?"
"Okay!" Li Xiangnan did not refuse. He knew that He Dashuang was also upset.
Like Xu Damao, he is also a poor man who has been plotted against all his life.
He pulled out the cork and threw it on the paper, then poured a glass for Li Xiangnan. He Dashuang picked up the bowl and clinked it with his, whispering, "I'll drink first! Cheers to you!"
Li Xiangnan also took a sip, held the wine bowl with both hands, and asked, "Brother Dashuang, do you have anything to say?"
He Dashuang was stunned for a moment, and when he laughed it looked like he was crying. Then he put the wine bowl on the ground, took out a cigarette and smoked it, put his hands on his knees, and sighed.
"Maozi is such a bastard, but you have to admit that he is so lucky! He was able to get married twice! When I was young, I was blinded and obsessed with Chunlian. When she first married into the Zheng family, I was thinking, how could there be such a beautiful girl in the world? If I could marry her, I would do anything! I fell in love with her, and I wouldn't even look at any other woman!
Later, I waited and waited, waited until her father-in-law died, waited until her husband died, and waited until she finally came to her senses and wanted to be with me! I almost thought that I had been lucky in my previous life! I actually got her favor! I was so happy! But wanting to marry her was a series of difficulties that stood in front of me! I finally overcame them all, and many years later, before Gousheng got married, I got married with Chunlian! Hey, at that time I was already in my thirties, and my body was pretty strong! Hey, guess what happened in the end? "
Li Xiangnan almost spit out a mouthful of wine, and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth to suppress the smile that was about to come out.
"If it weren't for the Women's Federation on the street coming, I wouldn't have known Chunlian had already gone to the hospital to get an IUD!"
He Dashuang's voice was a little choked.
"Doctor Li, do you know? She had an IUD inserted the second year after her husband died! And she married me ten years later! She has had this IUD inserted for more than ten years!"
At this point, the man who was always complaining about everything in the courtyard suddenly burst into tears.
He turned around and said with tears streaming down his face, "Doctor Li, the woman I have loved all my life, she wants me to have no offspring!"
Li Xiangnan looked at him, and inadvertently saw a different kind of love in this world.
The wind passed by inadvertently, bringing with it the coolness of autumn, blowing away the last trace of complete shape on the cigarette. The tobacco scattered on the wet stone slabs and blended with the rain, as if all the joys and sorrows eventually returned to this endless dampness and coolness.
Love between two people who love each other and stay together through life and death is a kind of love.
Love that cannot be obtained is also a kind of love.
There are 80,000 words in the world, but the word love is the most hurtful.
Sincerity may not necessarily be reciprocated with sincerity, and what you may get in return may be a mistake.
Xu Damao may not know how to manage a marriage.
He Dashuang is also trying his best to maintain his belated love.
In their lives, perhaps they all love someone in their own way.
But...what does marriage bring to men?
Somehow, that child became Xu Damao and He Dashuang's only hope to save this miserable life.
