"Mom, it’s not a big grandson, it’s a granddaughter. Look how beautiful the child is, fair and clean. She’ll definitely grow up to be a pretty little girl."
Qin Dazhuang picked up his daughter and showed her to Liu Ladi.
Liu Ladi’s face quickly changed.
A face like a dark cloud, "What? Not a grandson? How can it not be a grandson? Didn’t they say sour ans a boy, spicy ans a girl? Your wife carries a vinegar bottle all day, how did she give birth to a girl? Impossible!"
"It’s true, Mom. It’s a daughter. I nad her Nuonuo. Our Nuonuo is really obedient."
Qin Dazhuang was fond of his daughter.
Liu Ladi gave Jiang Xin a fierce glare, "Bringer of bad luck!"
Then she turned and walked away.
She didn’t care about saving any face at all.
Jiang Xin’s face darkened. Her mother-in-law was like this, even when her own sister was here. No regard for her family at all, so disrespectful.
It wasn’t just slapping her own face, it was also slapping her family’s face.
Jiang Xiaoxiao squeezed her second sister’s hand, gently shaking it with a smile on her face.
"Second sister, look how cute Nuonuo is! She’s even blowing bubbles!"
Jiang Xin felt relieved, thinking her younger sister was still young and didn’t really understand.
At least it wasn’t her own mother here; if Fan Xiuying were, there would probably be a fight.
"She is cute. You used to do the sa, blowing bubbles from ti to ti. Dad and Mom said you were fish-like."
Talking about her daughter made Jiang Xin forget the unpleasantness just now.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "I am fish-like, and so is our little niece! She and I share the sa zodiac sign. Nuonuo, you must try hard to be as beautiful as your aunt, and smart and lovely too. Aunt loves you the most."
Unexpectedly, Nuonuo’s bubble burst suddenly, then she widened her big round eyes and made a sound like "mm, mm" from her mouth.
As if responding to Jiang Xiaoxiao, it amused both Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Qin Dazhuang ca back looking utterly hopeless.
His mother had just scolded him harshly outside.
She began her old, familiar cycle of complaints.
Qin Dazhuang felt like his head was about to explode.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stayed with her second sister, coaxing the child.
By the afternoon, Fan Xiuying had already brought chicken soup to the hospital.
She not only brought chicken soup but also millet congee and boiled eggs. For them, this was nourishing postpartum food.
But in these tis, having millet congee and eggs wasn’t easy.
Their family had already run out long ago, so Fan Xiuying had borrowed so from the neighbors. She managed to get so tickets from familiar families to buy millet and eggs, because her daughter needed postpartum care, and she couldn’t ignore that.
If others didn’t care, she obviously had to care for her daughter, who had just given birth, and needed to eat well.
Fan Xiuying didn’t see anyone from the Qin family and was puzzled, "Dazhuang, didn’t your mom co?"
It was impossible for her son’s wife to give birth and for her not to co.
Qin Dazhuang blushed, "Mom, my mom... did co."
Like a shy young woman, Qin Dazhuang didn’t know what to say.
After all, it was his mother.
How could he say his mom got angry and left just because a girl was born?
Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke up for him.
"Mom, sister’s mother-in-law was really fierce. After she ca, she just threw a ’bringer of bad luck’ and left. I saw her scold brother-in-law quite harshly. Mom, isn’t sister’s mother-in-law angry just because second sister had a daughter? Doesn’t the governnt advocate gender equality? Isn’t having a son or daughter the sa?"
She just didn’t fear stirring things up.
Jiang Xin was speechless, her sister...
"Mom, it’s okay, my mother-in-law is just like that!"
"Your mother-in-law is sothing else, Dazhuang, your mom is wrong here. It’s not like there isn’t a grandson in the family, what’s wrong with having a granddaughter? Yet, such a face and calling bad nas! Who talks like this? It’s not like you can’t have more kids. Many have daughters first and then sons. This is a good sign. If you dare follow your mom’s feudal ideas, I won’t spare you."
Fan Xiuying had to stand up for her daughter, otherwise, if the son-in-law bullied her daughter too, it’d be too much misery.
Fan Xiuying had suffered from this before. She had two daughters first. Didn’t she see her own mother-in-law smashing pots and bowls, making her suffer?
Qin Dazhuang quickly expressed, "Mom, I’m not like that! Sons and daughters are the sa to ! I like them all. Daughters are great too! I definitely won’t, it’s just my mom’s old thinking. Don’t be upset, she just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I will surely take good care of Jiang Xin and the baby. I will never mistreat Jiang Xin."
Almost swearing an oath.
Fan Xiuying sighed, everyone ca through it step by step like this.
One couldn’t just stop living because of this.
As Jiang Xin’s birth family, they could only care a bit more for their daughter.
If they didn’t care, who would?
Jiang Xin grabbed Fan Xiuying’s hand, "Mom, I’m fine, I’m not angry, and neither should you. Mom, you should go back, you’ve had a long day. Xiaoxiao should go ho with Mom too. It’s enough with Dazhuang here with . Besides, the doctor said I’m recovering well. We’ll be discharged in a few days, so don’t worry."
She didn’t want her mom staying here, who could look and not get angry?
Fan Xiuying watched her daughter finish eating. After making sure Qin Dazhuang cleaned everything up, she took her youngest daughter ho.
Sighing all the way.
Because nowadays, people all wanted boys.
If unable to have a son, it’s like the saying goes, a hen that doesn’t lay eggs.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt for Fan Xiuying; her parents had spent their entire lives worrying about their four children.
Back ho.
Jiang Honest and Jiang Lei were in the house.
Jiang Honest had cooked, knowing his wife took their daughter to the hospital.
Their second daughter had a baby, naturally knowing the mother and daughter wouldn’t have eaten.
Nowadays, n at ho had no choice but to cook.
In the past, they were dual-inco families. Whoever got ho first would cook.
As soon as his wife returned, he quickly served the food.
"Congee and stead buns, eat up. How about it? Did Jiang Xin have a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Lei had no idea.
Fan Xiuying, eating and feeling gloomy, responded.
"She had a girl. Didn’t you see her mother-in-law turn hostile imdiately upon hearing it was a girl and just walked away, not caring at all? I feel so bad. How is she not going to suffer at ho during postpartum?"
A mother worries about her own daughter.
Jiang Honest had no words. He was worried about his daughter! But he couldn’t say the in-laws were wrong.
Currently, it’s not just one family favoring boys over girls.
Every household is like this.
It couldn’t be definitively said who’s right or wrong.
"Sigh! You should go often. In the next few days, I’ll go over the chicken farm route and see if I can get so eggs for our daughter and get a couple of chickens. Uncle Baohe will surely have so set aside for us. Rember to take money for ."
Jiang Honest’s only advantage was getting along well with everyone, being amicable with all, and always willing to lend a hand.
Such an advantage ant sotis not needing tickets, and even at the least cost, he could get so things.
Like eggs, for example, that were one cent cheaper per egg than outside.
That was quite a remarkable skill.
