Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Without the annoyance of the Qian family, Qian Jinling was finally able to have a few days of peace. On the day of the prenatal check-up, Qian Jinling drove her car early to pick up the two girls.

From the first day the Qian family came to Qian Jinling's place, Qian Jinling actually kept a trick up her sleeve and didn't let them know that she also had a car.

She knew the character of her family. If they knew, they would be even more shameless and ask for a huge amount of money from her.

Now, Li Yujia and Zhang Yan have become completely accustomed to this life of regular prenatal checkups. The initial sense of shame has long since disappeared, and they consciously regard themselves as reproductive tools.

Since moving here, they have not seen Xu Jinfeng again, and dare not have any other improper thoughts.

The two nannies who were responsible for taking care of them also followed them out. When they saw Qian Jinling, they called out politely, "Sister Ling!"

Qian Jinling smiled and motioned for the two to get in the car. As she drove, she said, "In addition to the routine prenatal checkup today, we can already check the gender of the baby. I have already informed my acquaintances in the ultrasound room."

The two girls nodded, indicating that they understood. They were also a little nervous, and were also anxious about whether they were pregnant with a boy or a girl.

If the baby is a girl, it will have only one fate, which is to be aborted, and she will receive 10,000 yuan in compensation. If it is a boy, she will have to wait until the baby is born. It only takes a few more months, but the price difference is 40,000 yuan. This was what Qian Jinling had agreed to in advance.

Now that the two girls have come to this point, they naturally hope that it is a boy in their bellies.

Once they give birth to their children and get the money, they can start another life.

Zhang Yan can leave the countryside, earn a living, and start a small business. Li Yujia can use the money to treat her father's illness and send her sister to school. Maybe she can take the college entrance examination again.

They have envisioned that kind of life countless times in just a few months.

Because the two lived under the same roof, they became friends unknowingly, sharing their life plans with each other, and at the same time promising each other to keep the secret for the rest of their lives.

While waiting outside the B-ultrasound room for the examination, Qian Jinling said, "Don't be nervous. It's just a normal examination. You'll know the result when the film is taken. The doctor is very experienced."

The hospital now has clear regulations that operations such as checking the gender are not allowed, but if you have an acquaintance, then it will be much easier.

The two girls went in one after another, and Qian Jinling also went in to accompany them. They came out soon and found out that both of them were pregnant with boys.

This good news made Qian Jinling and the two girls feel relieved and at ease.

Qian Jinling was happy and told the two girls to take good care of themselves to ensure the healthy growth of the baby in her belly.

She also emphasized to the two nannies the dietary do's and don'ts during pregnancy and asked them to do the "logistics" work.

It was already eleven o'clock in the morning when they finished the examination and left. Qian Jinling took them directly to a nearby high-end restaurant for dinner, and then sent the two back to their residence.

Qian Jinling sat alone in the car and calmed down her excitement before calling Xu Jinfeng.

"Old Xu, congratulations, you will soon have two sons!" Qian Jinling spoke first, with a sour tone in her voice.

Xu Jinfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, but his irritable mood due to the pressure of public opinion also improved, and he smiled and coaxed: "It's us, our son!"

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Qian Jinling, like Xu Jinfeng, was full of expectations for the two children.

Whether it was her parents' family or her husband's family, there were nephews waiting to eat up the whole family. If there was one reasonable person in those two families, she wouldn't have to worry so much about her daughter's future.

If Xu Jinfeng had a biological son with his blood, she could not guarantee that she and Xu Jinfeng would live together forever, but at least she would have a son to take over the family business and protect the family property, so that her two daughters would not be bullied by their cousins ​​in the future.

She didn't know if what she did was right or not. Anyway, she had already done it, and as for whether it was right or not, she could only judge it later.

----

The Internet was not yet popular in that era, and the main ways for people to get news and gossip were newspapers, television and radio.

Therefore, the public opinion about Jinfeng Garment Factory circulating in Mafang City is temporarily confined to that city, and the specialty stores in other regions have not been affected yet.

He has been running a clothing business for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. Although he has some flaws in his private life, his reputation in business is still good. If his reputation is ruined because of the Qian family's affairs, it will become increasingly difficult to do business in the future.

Today, it has been nearly twenty years since the reform and opening up, and more and more businessmen want to get a piece of the big pie of the clothing market.

If this matter is not handled properly, Xu Jinfeng cannot predict what kind of chain reaction it will cause.

In order to minimize the Qian family's influence on his own business, he decisively replaced the TV advertisement with the "Qian Furan" brand and erased the mark of "Jinfeng Garment Factory".

If necessary, it is not impossible to abandon this brand and create a new one.

As for the public opinion about Mafang City, it had already spread among the citizens. He asked the store to post a notice on the glass door, saying that the police had been notified of the "rumor-mongering" incident. If the rumor-mongers were caught, they would not only be sued for compensation, but also face jail time.

In addition, he asked the store manager to organize promotions in the store so that people who wanted to buy clothes but didn't want to buy them in the past could come to the store to shop. This way, the backlog of goods can be cleared out as soon as possible to prepare for the new spring products.

All the clothes in the store are sold at 50% off, which is very attractive to the citizens. In addition, the notice issued by the store can call the police to sue the person who spread the rumor. Could it really be a rumor?

Citizens are now unsure whether this public opinion is true or false, but the benefits they can get from the store are real.

As expected, more and more people came into the store to buy clothes. The money used to buy one piece of clothing can now buy two pieces, which is really a good deal.

But soon, a new problem arose: customers who had bought clothes in the store before the public opinion appeared came to the store.

Why? Clothes that cost dozens or even hundreds of yuan are still expensive for ordinary people in this era. But soon after they bought them, they were sold at half the price, and they felt like they were losing money.

No matter how the store manager explained to the two salespeople, the old customer had only one request, which was to refund the price difference or a full refund for the clothes.

But those clothes had already been worn and there were no quality issues, so the store would not allow them to be returned.

As a last resort, the store manager asked Xu Jinfeng for instructions again, and finally, with Xu Jinfeng's approval, the price difference was refunded to the customer according to the current price.

After about a month, public opinion in Mafang City was finally brought under control, and the operation of the specialty store gradually returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, as the problem was solved, another one arose. Many dealers called Xu Jinfeng one after another, and the content of their calls was similar. They were all affected by public opinion and their sales plummeted.

This trend of public opinion spreading is what Xu Jinfeng is most worried about.

When dealers see that the situation is not right and they cannot make money, they will inevitably take corresponding measures to minimize their losses.

Some of the dealers requested to terminate the contract early and return the deposit, and the clothing factory would buy back the unused clothing.

Some dealers agreed to wait and see for a while after Xu Jinfeng's efforts. If this trend cannot be reversed, termination of the contract is almost inevitable.

Xu Jinfeng is now in a state of great difficulty. Even his good mood after learning that they are about to have two sons did not last for a few days.

He no longer fell into Qian Jinling's arms as he did in the past as soon as he got home. Instead, he was gloomy for several days and had no interest in anything.

Qian Jinling knew exactly why Xu Jinfeng was like that without asking. She apologized and comforted him, but it didn't help Xu Jinfeng get rid of his bad mood.

Although Xu Jinfeng did not blame Qian Jinling, she also knew clearly that some subtle changes had taken place in the relationship between the two.

Perhaps affected by the many troubles brought by her mother's family, Xu Jinfeng's feelings for Qian Jinling seemed to have faded unconsciously.
