Chapter 993: 237: Astonishing Results_4
“Sister Xiaoxi, don’t get agitated. Actually, I think Dad makes a lot of sense,” Shangguan Xu began, “Zuo Ling really isn’t suitable for you.”
“Grandpa, Grandma, what do you think?” Shangguan Xi looked towards Elder Zheng and Madam Zheng.
Madam Zheng smiled and said, “Sister Xiaoxi, your grandmother and I share the sa view. When a girl gets married, she has to keep her eyes wide open. Besides, Zuo Ling’s parents are also getting on in years. What if you really ended up with Zuo Ling? Who would look after your children? His parents even need a nanny to take care of themselves…”
“I can hire another nanny,” Shangguan Xi argued.
Madam Zheng smiled and said, “When the child is too young to speak, would you really be comfortable leaving them in soone else’s care? Moreover, what if you have a daughter and your in-laws don’t like her and secretly dispose of the child? What will you do then?”
“That won’t happen! She would be their own granddaughter!”
“It will,” Ni Cuihua stepped forward and said, “You’ll find all sorts of people in this world, especially people like Zuo Ling’s parents who favor sons over daughters.”
It was then that Shangguan Xi realized that Ni Cuihua had already lost three children.
“Mom is right,” Ni Yang chid in at the right mont, “Sister Xiaoxi, dical research has proven that the sex of a baby is actually determined by the male side. Human sex chromosos determine the gender, with males being XY and females XX. The cells produced by won all contain an X, while those produced by n could be X or Y. If both cells are X, then a girl is born; if the male contributes a Y, then a boy is born.”
At this point, Ni Yang paused, then continued, “Zuo Ling’s family has the genes for having daughters, so there’s a ninety percent chance that your first child would be a girl.”
“This ans you should be prepared for the ninety percent likelihood of your child being discarded.”
Ni Yang was not one to mince words, so what she said always hit hard.
Shangguan Xi hesitated for a mont, then said, “Yangyang, do you believe this too? How can you be so certain that Zuo Ling’s parents will definitely favor boys over girls? Maybe they just like having lots of children?”
After all, Shangguan Xi’s experience was too limited to fully understand these things.
“You can tell just from her having given birth to seven girls,” Ni Yang continued, “Sister Xiaoxi, dically speaking, pain is classified into twelve levels. The first level is the pain from a mosquito bite, and the twelfth level is the pain of a mother during childbirth. Plus, giving birth is really harmful to the body. The best state for a woman is to give birth to 1 or 2 children. Who would joke about their own health without so kind of strong belief?”
Ni Yang’s words were so logical that they left no room for rebuttal.
Shangguan Xi fell silent for a bit, then said, “I feel that Zuo Ling is not that kind of person. I’m marrying Zuo Ling, not his parents. Even if his parents truly favor sons over daughters, it has nothing to do with us.”
Once a son is married off, could the parents still be trying to ddle?
Ni Yang did not rush to contradict Shangguan Xi but said, “Sister Xiaoxi, don’t reveal our family’s situation to Zuo Ling for now. Just observe him for a while longer and see if his character is worthy of your lifeti commitnt. If he truly is worthy, I believe our family will have no objections to you.”
With that, Ni Yang turned her eyes to Shangguan Xi, “Sister Xiaoxi, Dad, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, and your brothers object to this matter purely because they want you to have a better life.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreent.
Especially Xu Lian, who now looked at Ni Yang differently.
Previously, when Ni Cuihua had just married Shangguan Dehui, she had worried about whether Ni Yang and Shangguan Xi could get along well since the children were grown and had their own ideas.
Now it seed that her worries were unfounded.
Although Ni Yang was a few years younger than Shangguan Xi, her maturity was far greater. The words she spoke were persuasive. As an elder, Xu Lian found nothing to fault in what she said, and moreover, Ni Yang had Shangguan Xi’s best interests at heart with every word.
“Yangyang, I didn’t just et Zuo Ling today. I know what kind of person he is,” Shangguan Xi said firmly.
Ni Yang smiled and responded, “That remains to be seen. A fox’s tail doesn’t show itself in a day. True gold fears no fire. Sister Xiaoxi, if Zuo Ling truly is a man worth entrusting your life to, then no matter how you observe him, you won’t see any hint of a fox’s tail.”
