1047 Splurging Like A Baller
"What a fool." Qiao Nan rolled her eyes."Don't you know of the policy in our country? If the child is mine and Brother Zhai, and we have our own child, I will not be able to give birth to the child. If the two children are born at the same time, we can claim that they are twins."
"How about adoption?" She could not stop her brother from having a child. Zhai Hua was thinking hard of ways such that it would work for everyone."The child will be Zhai Sheng and your child. By the time the child is registered under your household, I can adopt the child."
Once she adopted the child, Qiao Nan would then be allowed to have children with Zhai Sheng.
"Are you sure that by then, you are suitable to adopt a child?" Qiao Nan was not from the law faculty. She was not familiar with the related laws.
Anyway, in the previous life, when she gave up the idea of having her own child and decided to adopt someone else's child, she discovered that it was not that easy to adopt a child. As soon as she realized that she did not meet the requirements, she closed the website and did not read the details.
"I don't remember very well, but according to the adoption law, it seems to say that the adopted family must provide the child with a complete family." In other words, if Zhai Hua was without a man, she did not fulfill the requirement to adopt a child.
Zhai Hua pulled her hair in frustration."Is there a third method?"
She only wanted to have a child. Why was it such a difficult task? Why was it that if she did not have a boyfriend, none of the methods worked for her?
"The third method is more expensive, and you have to read up on this technology. This is only hearsay, and I don't know the details. You should have heard about test tube baby. The technology is called in vitro fertilization. It means that an egg is combined with a sperm outside the body, in vitro. Then, it is implanted in the woman's uterus. If the surrogate pregnancy is successful, then the baby will be given birth after ten months of pregnancy."
"Hmm..." Zhai Hua was clueless about the technical aspects of this technology.
Qiao Nan sounded very serious and convincing as she was explaining to her. Zhai Hua felt incredible and at the same time, she took Qiao Nan's words for real."What happens next?" Until now, she had heard about in vitro fertilization, test tube baby, and surrogate mother. But all these did not seem relevant to her situation.
"The reason why a woman can have a baby is that the ovaries can produce eggs. After a certain period, the ovarian function cannot be maintained. Right now, you are still young and can ovulate normally. You can go to a specialized department for them to take out the healthy eggs in your body and to freeze and store them for later use. In that case, you can take your time to look for the man that you like. By then, even if you are too old to have a child, you can get the man to provide the sperms and arrange for a surrogate mother. The doctor can perform the in vitro fertilization and it might work."
Qiao Nan had provided many solutions to her problem."But you have to know that among the three methods, this last method would cost a lot of money."
Zhai Hua was dumbstruck."Nan Nan, how do you know all these complicated technologies and details?!"
Before having a conversation with Qiao Nan, she had never heard of these methods."Regarding the third method that you mentioned, does our country have this technology?"
"Our country does not, but you can check out other countries." Qiao Nan pressed her lips tightly, pain evident in her eyes.
She knew all these because she was driven to nuts by her mother in the previous life. She had no other choice but to use all means and methods to find out the related information on how she could have a child of her own.
These three methods had something in common—it required a lot of money!
Qiao Nan did not have money. If she really had the child, the child would not have legal citizenship in the country.
In the end, Qiao Nan had no other choice but to give up on her plan.
"The fourth method is to go overseas. The child is not legally accepted in China. Therefore, you can go overseas to apply for a United States permanent resident card. You can try your luck at the foreign sperm bank. However, your surname is Zhai and you are a soldier. I don't think the Zhai family will allow its descendants to be a non-Chinese citizen of Chinese ancestry."
Once they applied for the United States permanent resident card, the child's nationality would no longer be China.
Given the temper of the Zhai family, Qiao Nan felt that this method would not be feasible.
"The fifth method is to find a man. You have yet to reach thirty years old. You are still in your prime. You still have ten years to try your luck at having a child. Why don't you put a hold on your career progression? You can set aside your job at the army and focus all your energy on blind dating. You should try hard to find a man that you like with whom you can spend the rest of your life. Once you find a suitable man, you will have your child eventually."
The first three methods were based on the research that Qiao Nan did in her previous life. The remaining two methods were meant to encourage Zhai Hua.
No matter what, Zhai Hua had yet to reach thirty years old. She was still in her prime. Unlike her, she was already close to forty years old in the previous life. Even if she came up with five methods of having a child, none of the methods worked for her.
Although Qiao Nan was very clear in her explanation, Zhai Hua was getting all confused."I-I will consider it carefully. Do I need to read up on this?"
"Of course."

"Alright. I will do some reading." Qiao Nan had provided her with five methods. There had to be one that worked for her!
Zhai Hua gritted her teeth. Even though all the five methods seemed complicated, she had to decide on one and worked on it.
Seeing that Zhai Hua seemed very determined, although Qiao Nan said that she would make Zhai Hua pay for all her spending today, she did not buy any clothes. She only chose a camel-colored coat today.
On the contrary, Zhai Hua seemed to be dealt with some heavy blows. Whenever she saw any clothes that were suitable for Qiao Nan, she would ask the salespersons for Qiao Nan's size and for her to try it on.
Seeing that Qiao Nan looked nice on it, Zhai Hua would pay for them without another word. It was as if she was spending money to buy clothes for her daughter.
What made Qiao Nan speechless was that the clothes that Zhai Hua wanted her to try on were all pastel and sweet colors.
Qiao Nan was pretty-looking and she had a pleasing and comforting aura. She looked as if she was sixteen or seventeen years old in those clothes.
Zhai Hua had yet to recover from her break up with Wei De. Some people even mistook Zhai Hua and Qiao Nan for mother and daughter.
"Sister Zhai Hua, that is enough!" Qiao Nan felt like crying at all the bags of clothes that were placed on the floor. The number of clothes that she bought in the two lifetimes was not as many as the clothes that she bought today.
