The son she brought into this world after ten grueling months of pregnancy. How dare her mother-in-law suggest he be adopted out?!
Ma Xiulian asserted casually, "Because the feelings between the third and fourth brothers have always been the strongest since childhood. Right, third brother?"
Chen Jianye, being called out, stuttered, "Mom, it's too early to discuss these issues. Fourth brother will definitely come back safe."
Among the five brothers, his bond with the fourth was indeed the strongest. But these days, who ever complained about having too many sons?
He couldn't even bear the thought of adopting out his son, and he just had one at the moment. Even if he had several, he couldn't do that.
The more sons, the more labor power at home. And there'd be no worry about who would look after them in their old age.
