The year isn't the 80s! Su Yan, a base owner from 2048, dozed off while driving and woke up transmigrated to 1961. She became the infatuated, delicate, and ungrateful Su Yan who was leveraging ...
On August 27, just one week after the triplets' sixth birthday, Zhong Lingshan finally gave birth to another daughter weighing 6.32 catties.
When her daughter was born, Zhong Lingshan burst into tears. She had boasted to Chen Yuhe that she was pregnant with a son both times, but both times she was pregnant with a daughter.
Zhong Lingshan was devastated. Among the four daughters-in-law of the Lu family, she was the only one who had never given birth to a son.
Lu Chen didn't care whether his wife gave birth to a boy or a girl. Seeing his wife crying so painfully, he felt bad too.
Lu Chen kept comforting Zhong Lingshan, "Shanshan, don't cry. A son and a daughter are the same, aren't they both our children? The child is hungry, feed him first!"
"Wow, why am I so miserable that I can't even give birth to a son. These sisters-in-law will definitely laugh at me behind my back."
"Why is she laughing at you? Come on, be good, stop crying. We are still young and can have another baby."
Zhong Lingshan sobbed and said, "What if the third child is also a girl?"
"Then we won't have a baby. We'll find a live-in son-in-law and let Jiaojiao stay at home."
Not everyone has a son these days. There are still so many people who haven't had a son, but they are still alive.
When he was studying in another province at a university, he met an old woman who had given birth to nine daughters and was still pregnant with a baby in her fifties.
No matter what, even if he was not destined to have a son, he would not let his wife keep giving birth. He would wait until his wife recovered and then have another child. It didn't matter whether it was a son or a daughter, and he would get a sterilization after the birth.
It would be better if his wife gave birth to a son as the third child. If she gave birth to a daughter, he would let the eldest child stay at home and find a son-in-law.
Zhong Lingshan didn’t know what Lu Chen was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely object.
Lu Chen went to work. Hua Min felt bad seeing her daughter-in-law crying all day, so she advised her, "Whether you have a son or a daughter is determined by fate. Don't think too much about it. Maybe if you relax, a son will come one day."
Look, didn’t Shushu give birth to sons on her third and fifth pregnancies? "
Neither her mother-in-law nor her husband blamed her for not being able to give birth to a son. Zhong Lingshan felt relieved. She thought about how her sister-in-law had been in a similar situation to her before, and now she also had two sons, didn't she?
As long as she takes good care of her health, she doesn't believe that she will be worse than them. Her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and fourth brother's sister-in-law have all given birth to sons, so she can definitely give birth to a son too.
After Zhong Lingshan figured it out, she also started to pay attention to her children. She wiped her tears and said to Hua Min, "Mom, isn't our second child prettier than the first one when he was little?"
Hua Min understood Zhong Lingshan's temptation. She was worried that her mother-in-law didn't like her granddaughter and was afraid that she would leave and not help her take care of the child.
"You'll know when this medicine takes effect. You and Chen'er are not bad looking, so the child won't be ugly."
"Mom, since Dad is not around, please give our second child a name!"
"When Chen'er comes back, he should call your dad and see what he says."
Zhong Lingshan was actually just being polite. After all, her father-in-law was not around, and it would be better if the name was left to their Lu Chen to choose.
The reason why she tried to please her mother-in-law was that she wanted to keep her by her side and take care of their family's daily life. Anyway, their house had two bedrooms, so she could just sleep with Jiaojiao.
With her mother-in-law taking care of her during the confinement period, she didn't have to do much to take care of the whole family, and she could even sit by the bed to eat.
Except for feeding the second child, my mother-in-law is responsible for all the chores such as changing diapers and feeding water. If this continues, my mother-in-law will stay in their house for two years and then go back when the second child grows up. It would be best if she can come back again after giving birth to the third child.
She was really worried that her mother-in-law would run away as soon as she was out of confinement. Then she would have to take care of her husband and eldest daughter's food and drink, and also take care of the second child in the family. The thought of it made her tired.
"Mom, you're such a good parent. If you're tired, let Jiaojiao wash the diapers. She's old enough and should do some work."
After Zhong Lingshan finished speaking, she yelled towards the door, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, come in quickly and take your sister's diaper to the bathroom to wash it."
When Lu Yiwei heard this, she ran out of the house without looking back. Her sister's diaper was covered with feces and urine, and she would not help her sister wash the diaper.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have gone back to her grandfather's house. After being home for so long, the kids here don't play with her much.
At her grandfather's house, she could sometimes go to her uncle's house to eat some delicious snacks. When she got home, her father would sometimes buy her biscuits and candies, but every time he bought them, her mother would take them away.
The next day, half of it would be divided among her uncle's children, leaving only a little for her, and she couldn't ask her father to buy her food every day.
Dad said that we should save money for her education. When she grows up, she will go to college. By then, she will make a lot of money and can buy whatever she wants.
As soon as Lu Yiwei ran away, Zhong Lingshan knew it and cursed, "I don't know who that damn girl looks like. She's always lazy and slacking off. Asking her to do any work is like asking her to die."
"Jiaojiao is still young, so don't blame her."
"How can she be young? Five years old is not young anymore. My brother's daughter could wash socks and brush shoes at the age of five. My cousins' children were all helping with farm work at the age of five or six, washing clothes in basins..."
Zhong Lingshan kept chattering and didn't even notice that her mother-in-law's face had turned ugly.
Lu Yiwei was raised by Hua Min with great care. With so many grandchildren in the family, Lu Yiwei depends on her the most.
Not to mention that Lu Yilan has rarely done housework at her age, Lu Yiwei is only five years old and Hua Min would never let her do any work.
The housekeeping and laundry work was done by either her or Xiao Jin's wife. Their family had no fields or pigs, so they didn't need to do farm work in the fields or go up the mountain to collect grass for the pigs.
If their family lived in the countryside and there were too much chores for the adults to do, she would definitely let her granddaughter do some work within her ability.
"Okay, you feed the second one, I'll go wash her diaper."
After Hua Min finished speaking, she stuffed her granddaughter into Zhong Lingshan's arms, picked up a basin of diapers from the ground and walked out of the house.
Zhong Lingshan lifted her shirt and stuffed her nipple into the child's mouth, "You are lucky, you were born into our family, and your father and grandmother don't dislike you that much. If you were born into my cousin's family, you would be miserable, with no milk to drink and you would have to eat rice porridge every day.
Your dad has called your grandfather to tell him the news. You'll soon have a full name, and once you have one, Mom will give you a nickname. You're the second child in our family. Your sister's name is Jiaojiao, so you can be called Yaya!"
When she gave birth to her first child, she helped to choose his name. Now that her husband is back, she naturally wants him to choose the name of the second child.
I hope that my father-in-law can’t think of a good name at the moment and leave the opportunity to name them to them.
