This was Wang Lan's second pregnancy, and she had been taking meticulous care of herself since becoming pregnant. When the midwife arrived, it wasn't long before she heard the baby crying inside.

The midwife came with her usual partner, so she didn't need anyone else's help. Naturally, everyone had to wait outside.

When the door opened again, the midwife was holding a wrapped-up baby.

"Congratulations! It's a daughter!"

A thousand pieces of gold?

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gao's face instantly turned green: "How could it be a girl? Shouldn't it be a boy?"

Midwife Liu immediately became displeased: "Zhao Guiping, what do you mean by that? Do you expect me to switch your child with yours?"

Liu, the midwife, is the most famous midwife in the surrounding villages. She has delivered at least two or three hundred babies, if not five hundred. Her skills are absolutely top-notch.

Even when Tuanzi was born, it was midwife Liu who delivered her.

Grandma Gao's lips twitched, but she remained silent, thinking to herself, "How can this be a girl? It's a grandson, a great grandson!"

Everyone could tell what Old Lady Gao meant at a glance.

This is a typical case of male chauvinism, with the old-fashioned belief that only sons can carry on the family line. However, it seems that most people in this era are like this.

Seeing that the baby had been born safely, the police didn't want to delay any longer. After confirming Wang Lan's condition with the midwife, Liu, and learning that Wang Lan was in excellent health, they went forward:

"Zhao Guiping, come with us."

Then another policeman said to Gao Ming, "The person inside is your wife, right? Please help her get dressed; we need to take them to the police station for questioning!"

Gao Ming's heart had turned cold. Holding his newborn daughter in his arms, his eyes were blank, and he finally nodded stiffly.

"Okay!" he replied.

Wang Lan had just given birth and thought she was out of the picture, but she couldn't escape it: "Officer, I really didn't do anything wrong, really not. I just gave birth, how can I leave?"

After that, she grabbed the leg of one of the policemen who couldn't get away in time and started crying and screaming.

"Let go, let go, or I'll handcuff you!"

A woman who had just given birth hugged my leg; I need to fumigate with mugwort when I get home.

Wang Lan, being a woman, was naturally no match for the man's strength, and immediately let go: "Officer, everything I said is true, I really didn't do anything."

If Wang Lan had given birth to a son, Old Lady Gao would have immediately rushed over. But Wang Lan gave birth to a girl again. Old Lady Gao had long disliked her eldest daughter-in-law, and it was only after the barefoot doctor and the fortune teller both said that her daughter-in-law's baby was a son that Old Lady Gao reluctantly let go of her prejudices.

Now, all the fantasies have vanished. The eldest grandson has become the eldest granddaughter. It's a miracle that Old Lady Gao didn't bite Wang Lan to death.

You have to understand that in the past few months, Old Lady Gao had emptied her coffin savings for her eldest grandson, and even sold her own daughter. Now, she was being told that he was just a girl. Old Lady Gao choked on her own blood.

Looking at Wang Lan now, he felt no pity whatsoever, even though she had just given birth to a child for the Gao family!

Wang Lan seemed to have also noticed Old Lady Gao's attitude, and slumped to the ground in despair, her face covered in tears.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" he murmured.
