American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 192 Children (continued)

Mary, who is in her 30s, would definitely be considered an older pregnant woman if she was really pregnant.

Somewhat reluctant to save her face, she asked Grandma Connie to go to the department store counter and help her buy a pregnancy test kit.

……

Not long after, Mary, whose expression became more complicated, walked out of the bathroom at home.

"How's it going, Mary? Are you there or not?" Grandma Connie asked carefully.

Although Grandma Connie usually looks like she is living her life in a carefree way, as a native Texan, she actually has a very strong sense of family in her heart.

After hearing the question, Mary, who was in a complicated mood, did not speak, but handed over the pregnancy test kit.

After double-checking that there were two red lines on the tool, Grandma Connie stepped forward excitedly and hugged her daughter, saying, "That's great, Mary. When are you going to tell them the good news?"

According to grandma, it is a joyful thing to add another little life to the family.

But compared to her happy appearance, Mary was still in a state of confusion.

"What's wrong, Mary?" At this time, Grandma Connie also noticed that her daughter was not feeling well.

"It's better not to tell Shelly and the others about this yet..." Mary came back to her senses and said, "I want to discuss it with George first."

"What on earth do you think?" Grandma Connie had a bad feeling.

Seeing her mother's increasingly serious expression, Mary thought for a moment and said, "My job in the church has only stabilized now. If I want to give birth to a child, I may be unemployed again. Moreover, Shelly is still young and needs someone to take care of her. If there is another child in the family, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of him..."

The current situation of the Cooper family is indeed not optimistic. If Mary loses her job in the church, George's salary alone will not be able to meet the living expenses of a large family.

Moreover, having to take care of four children at the same time was indeed a heavy burden on Mary.

"If it's a money problem, I can go to Mike for help. His stocks have been doing well recently..." Grandma Connie saw that her daughter wanted to abort the child, and said in a subtle way: "If you are afraid of the children at home, It’s too much to take care of. I’m still strong and strong, so I should be able to help.”

Seeing her mother's concerned look, Mary struggled again and finally said: "Let's see, I still want to discuss it with George first."

"Okay." Seeing her daughter insisting, Grandma Connie couldn't say any more.In the end, she could only warn: "If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. We are a family."

……

In the evening, after finishing his school day, Mike found that the atmosphere at the Cooper family's dining table was a bit strange.

Mary, who usually has strict control over her children, seemed like she didn't even notice that George spilled all the food on the table today.

On the other side, Grandma Connie, who looked at her daughter with concern from time to time, also seemed to behave strangely.

After dinner, when they returned to their home, Grandma Connie called Mike.

"Mike, there's something I want to ask you." Grandma Connie said.

"Please tell me." Seeing the other party's somewhat embarrassed expression, Mike also became serious.

During this period, he received a lot of care from Grandma Connie and had already treated her as family.

If the other party has any difficulties, Mike doesn't mind helping them within his ability.

"Well, I want to ask, are stocks really that profitable?" Grandma Connie asked a little unnaturally.

As the saying goes, a family is still settling accounts. As for money matters, even Grandma Connie, who has a cheerful personality, is a little embarrassed to mention it.

"It's really easy to make money in the current stock market." Mike said bluntly.

Now is the era when the American economy is taking off. As long as we seize the opportunity, even a pig can fly.

The same goes for the stock market.

Moreover, Mike had previously had the idea of ​​​​taking Grandma Connie and the Cooper family to make money together.

So, he continued: "Grandma Connie, if you want to buy stocks, I can help you with advice. I guarantee that you will not lose money."

Mike, who has a long-term perspective, has never thought about worrying about money.

So in his opinion, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a big problem.Seeing that Mike did not regard her as an outsider, Grandma Connie smiled and said: "It's not that I want to buy stocks, it's actually Mary..."

Then, she told the truth about Mary's pregnancy.

Mike, who knew the truth, also figured out why Grandma Connie and Mary behaved so strangely during dinner time.

So, he also smiled and promised: "If Mary wants to buy stocks, I can also help her make a reference."

The stock market is very popular, and Mike doesn't mind having a few more people make money with him.

Even Dennis, the guardian in the Minnesota town, was ready to give him a hand.

"That's great. I'll tell Mary the news tomorrow." Grandma Connie seemed to have something on her mind and showed a relaxed smile.

She actually knew a little bit about Mike making money in the stock market.

……

At this time, in Cooper's house, George and his wife were in the room.

After thinking for a while, Mary came to her husband and confessed: "I have it~"

"What?" George, who was getting ready to sleep, didn't react for a moment.

"I did, probably on Halloween." Mary said in detail.

"Wait~" George was stunned when he suddenly heard such good news.

Then, after digesting the information, he hugged his wife in surprise and said, "Great, little George and the others will be very happy to know this news. They will soon have a lovely brother or sister..."

Seeing her husband's unparalleled happiness, Mary was silent for a long time, and then told her what she had said to Grandma Connie.

However, in George's view, what his wife was worried about was not a big problem.

"Tomorrow I will tell Dale and ask him to give me a salary increase." After thinking about it, George said: "You can continue to be a full-time wife at home in the future, and leave it to me to make money to support the family..."

To be honest, George has some machismo in his heart, which also makes him willing to shoulder the burden of family life.

Just hearing her husband's words of relief did not make Mary happy.

She thought a lot that night, including her church work, raising her children, her family's financial situation, etc.

All of this made Mary very distressed.

Finally, after sending her family away the next day, Mary did not go to church but went to the hospital alone.

A fetus that is about one month old has not developed yet, so aborting it does not take much trouble.

……

That night at the Cooper family dinner table.

George, who still didn't know what his wife had done without telling him, was still immersed in joy.

Today he had already mentioned the salary increase to Dell, the owner of the sporting goods store, and also shared that his wife was pregnant.

Due to George's excellent work, Dell's boss also very considerately increased his weekly salary by 100 meters.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

"Mike, please go back first." After dinner, Grandma Connie said, "I'm going to talk to Mary about the stock."

"OK~" Mike waved his hand and left Cooper's house first.

On the other side, Grandma Connie, who stayed behind, walked towards the room of Mr. and Mrs. George.

Coincidentally, there was also a conversation going on in the room of Mr. and Mrs. George at this time.

"I have something to tell you..." x2
The couple spoke at the same time with a tacit understanding, but one of them had a smile on his face, while the other had an uneasy look on his face.
