Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2281: Chapter 1906: No Kids

Song Tan and Lun Chuan, because they added brotherhood as part of the act, seemed increasingly inseparable.

Meanwhile, the guilty Lun Jing and Wu Lan went to the city together for a whole day, holding large piles of jewelry and clothes each forced on them by the other, unable to sleep at night.

My child is so good, it’s not even his/her fault he/she can’t have children, what should we do about this!

Both of them sported dark circles for several days, evasive and worried when asked, making Song Tan increasingly suspicious:

"Mom, if you don’t speak up, I’m going to sit at the head of your bed at night to listen to your sleep talk."

This cheeky kid!

Wu Lan was furious: Who was she worrying about anyways? Just look at the family’s business going so well, surely there’s some cost to that, right? See, the big problem is waiting up ahead!

Currently with a stern face, she directly glared fiercely at Song Tan, but didn’t know why her voice became soft again, as if sympathy could squeeze out water:

"Tantan, come over here with me."

Song Tan: ???

She was instantly creeped out.

After all, Mrs. Wu Lan had roamed the family terrain for decades, but had never spoken so softly as if squeezing her voice!

Yet soon, another thought flooded her mind.

She glanced at Lun Chuan and leaned toward him to whisper in his ear: "Go and ask Auntie Lu if Daoist Qingyun said anything."

Lun Chuan suddenly understood.

If that was true, Daoist Qingyun’s efficiency was really high! Then their thank-you gifts must be more sincere.

Both went back to their respective homes, each looking for their own mothers.

Song Tan obediently followed Wu Lan into the room, and saw her lock the door sneakily like a thief, then pulled her to sit on the bed, stared at her, but said nothing.

Song Tan: ...so sneaky, her guess was pretty close to the truth.

She sighed, "Mom, just say whatever you want to say. Our family is harmonious right now, no big matter can ruin it."

Wu Lan’s eyes suddenly reddened: "Mom is sorry to you."

Song Tan: Ah???

Feeling puzzled, she saw Wu Lan’s tears rolling down: "You haven’t enjoyed any blessings since young. Our family was poor when you were small; others drank big-name milk, while you drank locally produced milk powder."

"And when you grew a bit older, there was Qiaoqiao. Wherever you went, you had to help look after the child... Qiaoqiao was like that, you had to worry even while doing your homework."

In that kind of environment, there was nowhere to learn any art, no extra classes to attend, and when on break at home, you had to help with chores and watch over your little brother.

But even so, our daughter was still determined, studied what needed to be studied, took exams, and upon graduation worried about work; she was capable and quickly found a job.

Honestly, when she was working in Ning City, Wu Lan and Song Sancheng were quite relieved.

The daughter understood the family situation and they relied on her. Now that she was far away, they hoped she could stop worrying about the family and plan well for herself.

Someday marry into a good family, only come to visit the maternal home once or twice a year, enough so they’re not a burden anymore.

But it turned out the child suffered such great grievance, nearly lost her life, and came back without a word.

Returning was fine; although initially they were under great pressure, sleeping restlessly at night—well, actually not sure why, despite great pressure, they slept soundly.

Anyway, within over a year, family affairs were sorted out, money flowed into their pockets daily, Wu Lan thought perhaps they had finally reached the time to enjoy life!

But unexpectedly, there’s such a good match, and the Lun family was willing to leave the Imperial City to accompany her in the village, what other man could give so much?

Putting yourself in their shoes, you have to remember their kindness, right?

Who would have thought, who would have thought!

Wu Lan gulped between sobs, pressed her voice so no one else could hear, now wiped by Song Tan’s tissue, unable to stop crying:

"Why do all these bad things happen to you?"

Song Tan felt quite uneasy. She chose a better life, which inevitably meant giving up certain things.

She made the choice firmly, never regretted it, but now Wu Lan’s discomfort was indeed sincere.

"Mom." She handed over two more tissues:

"You should be thankful instead. I am lucky, not only did I survive, now I have a successful career and a fulfilling romance. How many people have luck like mine in the world?"

But soon it won’t be fulfilled. Wu Lan felt even more sorrowful—

Yesterday in the city, the whole day she dared not make eye contact with Lun Jing, the two were like in love; as soon as their eyes met, they both turned away.

Shopping was the same.

Look, Xiaolun is good, how come Xiaolun’s mom is also good? If she were just a mean mother-in-law, her heart wouldn’t be this bitter.

It’s one thing to buy this and that for Tantan ordinarily, but going out together, she wanted to buy gold jewelry, or pick a diamond necklace for her...

Even though she returned those, her heart still ached.

"Tantan," Wu Lan choked, holding her hand: "Daoist said you’ll never have children. He’s so accurate, what are we going to do, if you and Xiaolun have no kids, how will your life be..."

Song Tan felt relieved, surprisingly relaxed her whole body: "No kids means no kids, Lun Chuan and I don’t like kids."

"Ugh." Wu Lan burped.

Seeing her daughter’s nonchalant expression, somehow, Wu Lan’s overwhelming sorrow lessened, but then anger rose:

"That’s all you young people’s thinking, really having kids is different."

"Really?" Song Tan smiled: "Mom, I’ve taken care of Qiaoqiao, I know what it’s like to raise a child—I get it, you say Qiaoqiao is a brother, not the same, right?"

"But Mom, I made so much money, Lun Chuan is also so famous in his field, how can the two of us not know what we want?"

"Stop treating me as a child—I’m clear with what I want, and don’t want."

Wu Lan felt more uncomfortable: "That’s your current thinking, when you’re 30, 40 years old, others are married with families, while you’re all alone..."

"Mom!" Song Tan interrupted her rambling: "Daoist Qingyun said I have the longevity look, should live up to 100 years. That 100 years, applying this regretful mindset, I’ll have 70-something years of sleepless nights."

"Just because of not having children."

"Is this the inevitable punishment for not having children?"

What punishment or not, she clearly feared daughters’ regrets! Young people never understand, often family ties rely on children.

Wu Lan was even more upset.

"I’m talking about serious business here, stop throwing me off. Whether Daoist Qingyun is right or not, we should get it checked in the hospital!"

Ah, suddenly remembering science after several sleepless nights!

Song Tan wanted to laugh: "Remember a while ago my health checkup with employees? Everything’s fine, all healthy."

"Daoist Qingyun said no, maybe it’s just not in my fate—"

This topic isn’t her regret, it’s something the parents have regretted for a lifetime.

Song Tan didn’t want to dwell on this, for someone like Wu Lan with such beliefs, the more she argued, the more painful it was.

She simply asked at the moment: "When should I tell Lun Chuan and Auntie Lu?"

Wu Lan was instantly agitated, unable to cry anymore.

She gripped Song Tan’s hand tightly: "Tantan, don’t be upset! Whatever you do, don’t be upset. I raised the two of you this lifetime, know how hard and tough raising children is. If you don’t have any, that’s that, we’re not trying to pass on the throne anyway, your health matters more than anything..."

Babble upon babble, Wu Lan cautiously said:

"If Xiaolun breaks up with you over this, don’t take it too hard! Look at all the people we know now, Professor Song, Boss Tang, if needed, ask them to introduce someone suitable for you, date a few more..."

Brushing through short dramas and trends, Wu Lan, quite fashionable, even blurted out some things she barely dared to think:

"I noticed rich people all booking male models, interested? Don’t be stingy, cheap options won’t be the best, mom will give you money!"

Song Tan: ...
