Gao's mother came here with the greatest wish that Yang Lu could have a baby boy.

But after looking around, Jiang Rou whispered in her ear that she was carrying a girl.

Suddenly, a chill ran up from the soles of my feet.

In the city, having a girl means you can only have that one child for the rest of your life.

Wouldn't Gao Baoliang be left without an heir?

Thinking about these things, she couldn't help but feel secretly saddened.

Jiang Rou said something else beside her, but she listened blankly, her expression numb.

On the way back, her legs felt like they were made of lead, and it took her several minutes to walk that short distance.

After she sat down, Yang Lu hurriedly asked with concern:

"Mom, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Gao forced a smile. "It's nothing, I'm just a little too full."

Everyone smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

After going out a few times, Gao's mother's eating manners have become much more refined. At first, she used to wolf down her food.

She said she was full, so Yang Lu stopped paying attention.

After finishing their meal, everyone prepared to go home.

It's just a few intersections away; everyone strolled back.

Gao Baoliang and Yang Lu naturally left with Gao's mother.

Wang Xiufen followed behind Ji Min, arm in arm.

A large group of people walked along the road, attracting the attention of many.

Gao's mother walked beside them, looking preoccupied.

Finally, she mustered up her courage and said to Gao Baoliang:

“Baoliang, I’ve been here for quite a while now. To put my mind at ease before I go back, you should find a place to confirm the baby’s gender. That way, I can finally put my mind at ease.”

She was still unwilling to accept it; Yang Lu was carrying a girl.

Her belly is clearly round and she likes to eat sour foods, so it should be a boy!

Upon hearing her words, Gao Baoliang frowned and repeated his previous statement.

"What is, is. You are a woman too, so why are you still practicing that sexist mentality!"

In the countryside, if there are no sons, some families might die out, but that's not the case in the city. Even daughters have the same responsibility to support their parents...

He tried his best to persuade his mother not to think about these unnecessary things anymore.

Yang Lu was soft-hearted. Hearing that she was about to go back, she tugged at Gao Baoliang and said:

"Why don't we go and take a look? It's just a matter of spending a little more money, and it will put Mom's mind at ease."

Upon hearing this, Gao's mother immediately beamed with joy:

"Lulu is right. I feel more confident now, and I can make some preparations when I get back. Don't worry, even if it's a daughter, I won't dislike her."

They chose a day and the three of them went to a small hospital in the suburbs.

The doctors here aren't so rigid. If you ask indirectly or make a point during an ultrasound, they'll usually answer.

This time, the doctor told Gao's mother that buying pink clothes might not be appropriate, and suggested buying blue ones instead.

Upon hearing this, Gao's mother was stunned and asked for confirmation again.

After receiving an affirmative answer, her mouth practically stretched to the back of her head in a wide grin.

"Now you can rest assured. When are you going back? I'll buy you a train ticket."

After coming out, Gao Baoliang said to his mother.

Gao's mother smiled and told him to buy a train ticket for two days later.

She suddenly remembered what Jiang Rou had said in her ear: since it was a girl, she should have nipped the pregnancy in the bud, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get pregnant again.

What a cruel heart!

Thinking of Jiang Rou's sinister intentions, Gao's mother decided to take revenge on her before leaving.

The next day, Gao's mother went to the Huai residence and said she wanted to see Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou wasn't there; Sister Hong greeted her instead.

Hearing that she was quite familiar with Jiang Rou, Sister Hong began to complain, saying that since she became pregnant, she had not had a good appetite and could not eat much all day long. Now she was so thin that she looked emaciated, and her baby was also small.

"There must be a reason why she's acting this way, right?" Gao's mother tried to get information out of her.

Sister Hong pouted: "I heard that her uterus is quite special, and the fetus cannot grow too big, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Gao's mother feigned surprise and clicked her tongue in surprise:

“When we were pregnant, we ate as much as we could, afraid that the baby wouldn’t get enough nutrition. If the baby doesn’t grow well in the womb, it will be hard for it to live later.”

Hongjie also thought what she said made sense, and asked her if there was any way to get her to eat more.

Just as Gao's mother was plotting how to get revenge on Jiang Rou, this opportunity came along.

“I have a traditional Chinese medicine remedy from the countryside, but I don’t know if she would be willing to drink it? The young wife in our village has no appetite, but this will definitely improve her appetite.”

"Then tell me, and I'll find a way to get her to drink it."

Sister Hong kept pestering her with questions.

So, Gao's mother told her about the folk remedy and instructed her not to reveal it, but to give it to her secretly so that she wouldn't refuse to drink it.

Sister Hong agreed, and when she saw her off, she was filled with gratitude.

That day, she went to the pharmacy, got the medicine according to the prescription, brewed it into a small bowl, and coaxed Jiang Rou to drink it.

"Mom, what is this? It smells weird."

Jiang Rou finished drinking and frowned.

Sister Hong, without blushing or skipping a beat, said: "It's just a kind of tea. Can you try it for me? It was a gift from the aunt next door."

Unexpectedly, after drinking it, she unknowingly ate a bowl of rice at dinner.

When Sister Hong saw it, she was overjoyed; this was something she hadn't experienced in months.

Jiang Rou may have deliberately starved herself at first, but later it turned into anorexia, and she would vomit whenever she ate too much.

This time, she ate a bowl of rice and was fine.

It seems that the prescription was indeed effective.

Sister Hong decided to find another opportunity to give her drinks a few more times in the future.

Two days later, it was time for Gao's mother to leave.

She was on the evening train.
