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.
