My second-married husband has 6 million savings, and I begged to borrow 50,000 yuan to treat my son's illness, but he was only willing to borrow 30,000 yuan
My name is Li Ying, I am 42 years old, I have been divorced for many years, and I am raising my son alone. After the divorce, I worked odd jobs to support my son's high school.
My ex-husband was in marriage, and the court finally awarded me the house. Although the house is not very big, it is a reliable place to stay for me and my son and I and I feel very at ease.
Currently, I have a new partner, Lao Zhang. He was my former employer and was 5 years older than me. Lao Zhang was widowed in his early years, ran a small breakfast shop, and he had a daughter who was married far away.
Lao Zhang has a simple personality and lives frugally. After more than a year of working in his early shop, he suddenly confessed to me, praised me for my hard work, and said that he wanted to live with me.
Although Lao Zhang's breakfast shop does not earn much, his livelihood is quite stable. Considering that my son would become independent sooner or later, I thought that being with Lao Zhang could provide support for the future, so I agreed to his marriage proposal.
At first, I raised the issue of marriage certificates, but Lao Zhang said that as long as we are happy, marriage certificates are not important.
After much thought, I felt that he had a point. Why let a piece of paper be a burden to happiness?Therefore, I let go of my insistence on the marriage certificate and lived a happy life with Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang was very good to me and my son. I paid for my son's tuition with my previous savings and rent, but Lao Zhang paid for the family's daily expenses, and occasionally bought us some clothes that changed in seasons.
It's been a long time since I've experienced such care, and I'm very touched. In order to repay Lao Zhang's care, I treated him more attentively.
My son is in his adolescent years, but he is very understanding of my predicament. His relationship with Lao Zhang is also quite harmonious, and our family lives an ordinary and happy life.
When my son was a sophomore in high school, he often had a sudden high fever and was physically exhausted. At first, I thought it was just a common cold, but then a hospital examination revealed that he had uremia.
This sudden illness made me feel like I was in an ice cave, because my son was all the hope of my life. Like an ant on a hot pan, I took him around for medical treatment.
Under the detailed explanation and persuasion of many doctors, I gradually calmed down and accompanied my son to start the long road.
On the advice of the doctor, my son started dialysis while waiting for a proper kidney source. During this time, Lao Zhang supported his breakfast shop alone, and my heart was full of guilt.
Lao Zhang comforted me and said don't worry, he can hire an assistant to share the work, so that I can concentrate on accompanying my son**.
His words comforted me and strengthened my confidence in treating my son's illness.
My son's luck was good, and after more than a year of dialysis, he finally found a suitable kidney source. However, I began to worry about the 600,000 yuan for the operation.
I tried to contact my ex-husband in the hope that he would contribute some funds to the child's **, after all, the child is his own.
But what I didn't expect was that my ex-husband rejected me and blocked all my *** and completely disappeared without a trace.
In the face of such desperation, I lost more than half of my hair overnight, and a few blood blisters appeared on my lips. Watching my once sunny and handsome son gradually lose weight, my heart is like a knife.
I couldn't see him lose this precious opportunity, so I decided to sell the house to raise money for my son's surgery.
I managed to scrape together the cost of my son's surgery after selling my house, but I still lacked 50,000 yuan. As a last resort, I asked Lao Zhang for help.
Lao Zhang silently lit a cigarette and did not immediately express his position. I was a little disappointed at first, but I was quickly relieved.
My ex-husband doesn't care about his own son, and Lao Zhang has no blood relationship with my son, which I know very well.
The next day, Lao Zhang only transferred 30,000 yuan to me. To make up the difference, I borrowed 20,000 from a friend. After barely scraping together the cost of the operation, my son's surgery was very successful. Because of his youth, he was quick and returned to school soon after. I finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the burden on my heart.
It didn't take long for me to find out that I was pregnant.
I felt a little embarrassed to speak, but finally told Lao Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang was so happy that he was at a loss. On that day, he closed the shop early, went to the market to buy fresh sea bass, and cooked a hearty dinner for me.
During the meal, Lao Zhang took out a bottle of liquor that had been treasured for many years, drank a few glasses, and smiled from ear to ear: "Take good care of your body and give birth to a healthy little guy." I didn't expect to have the opportunity to be a dad too. ”
His joy was palpable, and I was apprehensive. Although Lao Zhang was very much looking forward to this child, my heart was full of worries. After all, Lao Zhang and I are both old, and we can't operate for many more years. For personal reasons, Lao Zhang's daughter has married far away, and I don't want to turn this child into a burden on my son.
In addition, I have my own plans to fight for my son for a few more years and help him save some money to buy a house. In this way, the pressure of his life will be relatively reduced.
I expressed many concerns about the future and firmly stated that I did not want this child.
Lao Zhang's drunken eyes revealed a kind of confusion, he stood up, walked into the bedroom, stirred, shook a few deposit receipts in his hand, and then put them in front of me: "Don't worry, I have 6 million, and I'm afraid I won't be able to support a child?"”
I was dumbfounded for a moment, his clothes added up to less than 200 yuan, how could it be 6 million?
It occurred to me for the first time that the money must have been obtained by improper means. But Lao Zhang's honest appearance doesn't look like a person who does bad things.
Lao Zhang explained to me that in the early years he was engaged in the medicinal herb business, but later he changed his career due to the sluggish market. This money was saved by him bit by bit, and he didn't even tell his daughter.
My surprise gradually turned to anger. He actually had so much money that he knew that I was under pressure to sell the house, but he refused to provide even a little assistance.
I began to suspect that perhaps he was reluctant to testify in the first place because he was afraid that we would not last long and that he would have to divide his property. Behind all this, there seem to be traces of calculation.
Lao Zhang said frankly that he didn't mean to hide it from me, after all, it was a second marriage, and I still had a son, so he didn't dare to tell me rashly. Now that I am pregnant with his child, he said that he will live with me more attentively in the future.
He explained that he asked me to prepare the relevant materials and plan to go to collect the certificate in a few days.
To tell the truth, when I learned that he had so much money, I also had the idea of keeping the child, after all, the ** of wealth is difficult to ignore.
But I also have some concerns in my mind. When my son was sick, Lao Zhang only gave me 30,000 yuan, is this a lack of care?If my son gets sick again, will he not hesitate to support our mother and son?
In addition, I am not necessarily pregnant with a son, if it is a daughter, will Lao Zhang be able to accept it?There are so many uncertainties that I don't dare to take the risk lightly.
Lao Zhang has been urging me to hurry up and get my certificate these days, but I always find an excuse to delay.
Friends, you say, should I have this child or not?
