Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1721 Psychological Preparation 2

Some say that the grace of raising is greater than the grace of birth, because raising a child is a very tiring task. Watching the child grow from a tiny bundle into an adult is worrisome, and this is nobler by countless measures compared to merely giving birth and not raising the child.

Some say that even raising a cat or a dog can generate affection, let alone someone you interact with day and night.

The weight of birth grace versus raising grace depends on the situation and person and cannot be generalized with one sentence.

Take Shi Guantao, does the Shi Family have the grace of raising him? Yes, but it’s limited, not as big as the sky, nor as deep as the sea, and falls short of the grace of birth from Gu Daitou and Doctor Gu to him, for the latter are also victims.

Conversely, for Gu Qing, the Shi Family has the grace of birth, while the Gu Family has the grace of raising, and any normal person would say the grace of raising is greater than the grace of birth.

Of course, they don’t know how Gu Qing feels, but all eyes are on Doctor Gu.

Doctor Gu still held Shi Guantao’s hand, "Gu Qing is already settled in a career and isn’t a ten or eight-year-old child and should understand the truths of life. If I sever the mother-son relationship with him, I don’t need to raise him; if I maintain the relationship, I still don’t need to raise him."

"So, what are Auntie’s plans?" Gu Tian felt caught in a dilemma.

Doctor Gu said firmly, "Guantao is our child, your uncle’s only bloodline. Even if there hasn’t been interaction for forty years, we must recognize him back, restore our mother-son relationship, and openly declare it to the world, letting everyone know he is the son of me and Gu Daitou. This will make it convenient for him and me to live together openly and bona fide in the future. As for Gu Qing..." freewebnøvel_com

Shi Guantao noticed her gaze, felt a stir in his heart, and quickly said, "I am not a child. No matter what decision you make, I will not oppose it. I did not come here to take anything from Gu Qing. I have my own job in the Capital. I merely wanted to see you and fulfill my filial duty as a son."

Doctor Gu squeezed his hand and choked out, "Alright!"

Knowing that Gu Qing is not her son, knowing that Gu Qing has encroached upon the life belonging to Shi Guantao, knowing that not severing the mother-son relationship is unfair to Shi Guantao, she still finds it genuinely difficult to let go of decades of feelings. Even if Gu Qing has not supported her in her old age and his attitude toward her as a mother is not even a tenth of what it is toward Shen Xiufen.

Therefore, Shi Guantao is recognized, but the mother-son relationship with Gu Qing is not severed.

The Shi Family caused her and her biological son to be separated for nearly forty years, and she will not return her adopted son to the Shi Family unless Gu Qing wants to return to the Shi Family himself.

After hearing Doctor Gu’s decision and explanation, Gu Dajie directly said, "Unless he’s lost his mind, Gu Qing will definitely not go back to the Shi Family! The Shi Family never raised him, and his parents are dead. The remaining people have no connection with him, nowhere compared to our Gu family. Although we don’t have great power, compared to ordinary people, we’re like the sky."

The adults present all understood what she meant but couldn’t say it out loud.

Gu Daitou had many brothers sworn to life and death while he was alive, and not a few held political power. Gu Chief even has the prospect of further promotion. The Gu Family also has good relatives in the Wang Xinsheng family, Guo Family, and Zhao Yong’s family. If Gu Qing left the Gu Family, it would be as if he had no connection with them at all. Given Shen Xiufen’s way of dealing with things, keeping his current position is already very good, let alone thinking about rising higher.

"This matter must be told to Gu Qing directly," Doctor Gu insisted. The mother-son household registrations are not together, so no matter what, whether maintaining or severing the mother-son relationship wouldn’t affect this, but she does not wish for Shen Xiufen to continue offending everyone around them, relying on the Gu Family with impunity.
