Chapter 16 The Evil Wife in Period Literature 15

On Saturday, Chu Qing followed her husband and brought her daughter to the courtyard to visit her parents-in-law.

Looking at her sister-in-law sitting under the osmanthus tree, basking in the sun, she brought Qiaoqiao over to greet her: "Xiangxiang, didn't your husband come to see you today?"

Lin Xiang ate the jujube cake made by her sister-in-law comfortably, and muttered casually: "He has been busy serving the people recently. The police station has a case recently, so he has no time to come and see me."

After hearing this, Lin Dajun couldn't help but come over and pat his daughter on the head. Then he received death stares from his second son and old wife.

"Nannan, individualism is not good. A real man should serve his country and his people while he is young. I support Xiaofeng's idea. Your idea is a bit dangerous."

Fang Yan smoothed her daughter's messed up hair and glared at her old man: "Lin Lao Hu, what's wrong? Are you going to show off your power at home?"

"When I gave birth to my two sons, I never complained about the hardship. So, isn't the sacrifice of us older generations just to make the younger generations live better? Otherwise, why did we start a revolution? Isn't it to let the future generations live like human beings..."

Seeing that his parents were in danger of starting a war, the second son, Lin Weiguo, hurriedly pulled his father to the study room and said he had something to discuss.

Lin Dajun looked at his second son awkwardly: "I just don't want to argue with a woman like your mother."

Looking at his stubborn old father, Lin Weiguo said nothing, just to save his shaky father's face.

Outside the house, Fang Yan snorted and asked her second daughter-in-law to take the little girl to sit in the room. The sun was strong and they wanted to make sure her daughter was not sunburned.

Chu Qing sat beside the bed and told her sister-in-law a lot of experiences about childbirth.

Qiaoqiao looked at her aunt's belly in awe and gently touched it with her hand: "Aunt, are you going to give birth to a little brother for Qiaoqiao?"

Listening to the child's childish talk, Lin Xiang scratched her little nose and said cheerfully, "Not necessarily. It's possible that she will give birth to a sister as pretty as Qiaoqiao."

"Then Qiaoqiao can braid her sister's hair into a small braid and let her wear a beautiful skirt." Lin Qiaoqiao said happily.

Chu Qing looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated: "Have you discussed the gender of your child with your family?"

Lin Xiang smiled nonchalantly: "We talked about it, and we both think boys and girls are the same. In fact, he wants a sweet and soft little girl more, anyway, his eldest brother has already given the Cheng family a grandson."

Chu Qing looked at her sister-in-law with envy, perhaps some people are really born to be favored by God.

If the system knew her thoughts, it would definitely refute: This is not the favor of God, this is clearly the favor from 003. For the sake of the host's physical and mental health, it also wasted its time to choose this world.

When Chu Qing gave birth to Qiaoqiao, her parents were happy but still a little disappointed, and kept saying that it would have been better if it was a boy.

She was in a very depressed mood during that period, thanks to her husband who discovered her problem in time and enlightened her.

Thinking of this, a sweet smile appeared on Chu Qing's cold face. She was also very lucky to meet Wei Guo.

After the second brother and his wife came home in the evening, Lin Xiang was bored and curiously asked Fang Yan why the second sister-in-law seemed to have some issues with the gender of her child.

Fang Yan looked at her daughter's gossipy expression and told her some old stories while helping her make malt milk.

"Don't underestimate your second sister-in-law because she is the only daughter in her family. But her father, your Uncle Chu, is a feudal patriarch. If she hadn't been injured in the war and couldn't have children again, your second sister-in-law would have had a very hard life."

Fang Yan sneered at this and said, "Your second sister-in-law's mother also fought in the battlefield. I don't know why her mind is full of feudal remnants. She has always regretted not leaving an offspring for the Chu family. So when your second sister-in-law gave birth to Qiaoqiao, she kept complaining about why it was not a boy."

Lin Xiang was very surprised. She had met both Chu's father and mother before. She felt that one was a tough man and the other was a gentle family member. She didn't expect that their thinking was still so uncivilized.

Noticing her daughter's surprised expression, Fang Yan continued, "Nannan, you can't judge a person by just one side. Your Uncle Chu was also a fierce general in his time, and he also survived the bloody battles on the battlefield. I just didn't expect that this couple would be so confused about this issue."

"So when it comes to marriage, you can't just look at the other person's career. If your personalities don't match, your life will be unhappy."

Passing malted milk to his daughter: "When your father married you to the Zhang family, I also considered many aspects. Besides, Zhang Hao is a good kid with good character. But I didn't expect the wind to change so quickly, and their relatives abroad implicated them."

"That's because there's no destiny between you and him."

Of course they are not destined to be together. After all, the hero is prepared for the heroine.

Touching her daughter's soft hair, she said, "Fortunately, you have settled down now. Xiaofeng is a good child. You are pregnant now, so Mom is relieved."

Lin Xiang could only look at Fang Yan quietly with a well-behaved smile.

Finally, after eating the melon, she fell asleep contentedly like a badger in the melon field.

Just three months into the pregnancy, Cheng Jianfeng called his wife's workplace to announce the good news, and then explained that he could not return home this year because he was worried that his wife's pregnancy was unstable.

Cheng's mother smiled widely: "Oh, it's okay, this is a great joy. You should stay in Beijing first, it's really uneasy coming back all the way."

Then she told her son on the phone: "You must take good care of Xiangxiang. When I have the New Year holiday, your father and I will go to see you."

A colleague next to her looked at her mother's happy expression and asked curiously, "Sister Cheng, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

The corners of Cheng's mother's mouth lifted uncontrollably, and she pretended to be indifferent and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my daughter-in-law in the city is pregnant, and my family is going to have another baby."

There were compliments and congratulations all around.

At this time, a harsh voice sounded: "Hey, I remember that your second son can only have one child, Sister Cheng, have you asked whether this baby is a boy or a girl?"

Mother Cheng glanced at the weird woman in the corner and snorted in her heart, "Don't you see how mean you are? How dare I let your daughter into my house?"

She laughed loudly: "Oh, now boys and girls are the same. Chairman Mao said that women can hold up half the sky. I like both my grandchildren and my grandchildren."

Would I make you laugh? No way, not in this life.

After returning home and announcing the good news, she asked Cheng's father to contact more old friends and get some dried mountain products to send to her daughter-in-law.

She is full of energy when she thinks about having new grandchildren next year.

This caused Cheng's wife to complain to her husband behind her back, saying that her mother-in-law was biased. Why didn't she receive such treatment when she gave birth to Cheng's eldest grandson?

"Comrade Tian Xiaofang, let's have a good chat." Brother Cheng suddenly became serious, "How many days do you think the second child's family can stay at home a year? My parents usually help our family a lot."

"But..." Mrs. Cheng wanted to say something.

"It's okay. The second oldest is also my younger brother, so it's only right for parents to help him. Besides, Wenjie is the only child in our family, and the second oldest is the only child in his family. They will be the closest brothers or siblings in the future."

"Comrade Tian Xiaofang, have you listened to your sisters' instigation again? Let's not make trouble and just live a good life."

Mrs. Cheng blushed with embarrassment and agreed without hesitation.
