Chapter 1820: Chapter 1820: What Matters Most
Su Yunjin didn’t mind and wasn’t in a hurry, but Mrs. Shen shook her head, “Yun’er, I still think it’s important for your second sister to have a son as soon as possible. How about this? Talk to your second sister more and make sure she understands the importance of this matter. Don’t let her take her husband’s kindness for granted and neglect the issue of having children.”
Mrs. Shen kept on with her long-winded talk; in the eyes of ancient won, only after having children could a married daughter truly have support in her husband’s ho. This was true for ordinary families, and even more so for prestigious ones. Especially within the confines of a high-ranking family, the importance of a son was all the more pronounced.
If the head wife wasn’t able to have children, she might even find herself overshadowed by a concubine in the household. Only a son could beco a woman’s support.
Su Yunjin, being a modern person, thought differently from Mrs. Shen. In Su Yunjin’s view, her second sister and brother-in-law had been married for less than a year, so there was no rush to have children. It should happen naturally, and forcing it might have the opposite effect. Moreover, a woman’s status is always granted by herself, not by a son. Su Yunjin couldn’t agree with Mrs. Shen on this point at all.
In ancient tis, most of the money was made by n, and social status was also higher for n. This unequal gender dynamic made won feel they were dependent on n and their sons. In the economically advanced modern age, won can also earn money, and their social status has changed.
n and won are equal now. Won are no longer dependent on n.
Mrs. Shen constantly repeated herself, insisting that Su Yunjin persuade Su Ningxiu to have a child with Wang ng as soon as possible.
Mrs. Shen believed that Su Yunjin and Su Ningxiu had a good relationship since childhood. If Su Yunjin went to persuade her second sister on this matter, her second sister would surely listen to her.
Su Yunjin didn’t take Mrs. Shen’s words to heart. Before Mrs. Shen could finish, Su Yunjin made an excuse to slip away, “Mom, doesn’t brother still need to deliver the betrothal gifts to the Guo Family tomorrow? Brother’s affairs are important now; you should help him assess whether anything is missing from the gifts. It’s getting late today, so second sister and I will head ho first.” Su Yunjin quickly ran off, leaving Mrs. Shen shaking her head helplessly.

Su Ningxiu blushed at Mrs. Shen’s questioning. When Su Yunjin found Su Ningxiu, she was standing awkwardly in front of Wang ng, who gazed at her with a smile.
“Second sister, brother-in-law.” Su Yunjin waved, and Su Ningxiu looked at her, seeming even more uncomfortable. As Su Yunjin walked over, she said, “Second sister, brother-in-law, I think we should head back. It’s getting late.” Su Yunjin, fearing another round of nagging from her mother, Mrs. Shen, decided to leave earlier.
After being nagged by Mother Guo all morning, Su Yunjin was already feeling a bit overwheld.
Wang ng was also keen on going back, so when Su Yunjin suggested it, he readily agreed, and the three of them left the Su Family after saying their goodbyes.
On the carriage, Su Ningxiu ntioned that she and Wang ng were planning to buy a house in town. Su Yunjin thought of the large house she and Gu Ya had purchased there. The house was already tidily organized, only lacking staff. Gu Ya had said once he found suitable staff for the house, they could pick an auspicious ti to move in.
