Li Jiakang could only comfort her, "We are all relatives, there is no need to say this."

Hu Yang also nodded and said, "My dear relatives, I won't say more. Just wait and see what we do in the future."

Mrs. Hu, who was standing next to her, also took Hu Guilan's hand and said earnestly, "My daughter, you really married into a good family."

Hu Guilan showed a proud expression.

Sun Xiu also smiled and said, "Guilan is also a good child. She is very filial to us old couple and takes good care of her younger brothers and sisters."

Li Mei and others on the side echoed and said that Hu Guilan was very good to them.

Hu seemed very pleased and said, "That's good."

Then he looked at Hu Guilan's bulging belly and said, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. It would be great if it's a boy."

Sun Xiu quickly waved her hands and said, "My dear relatives, our family likes both grandsons and granddaughters. We don't favor boys over girls."

Li Jiakang also said, "I prefer having two daughters. I think girls are much better than boys."

Li Ping then said, "Mom, it would be even better if it was a daughter."

Hu looked over with suspicion.

Li Ping said hurriedly, "Really? It doesn't matter when the son is born."

Only then did Mrs. Hu nod doubtfully.

Hu Guilan also stood there with a red face and said nothing.

After a while, Hu Yang and the other two said goodbye.

After returning home, Hu Yang and his wife looked at each other and laughed.

As they laughed, they both started to cry again.

It stopped after a few minutes.

Hu Yang wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "That's good. Our worries are finally solved."

Mrs. Hu also nodded, and then said with emotion, "Guilan really married into a good family. If it weren't for them, someone in our family would definitely not have survived."

Hu Yang glanced at her and said, "When I supported my daughter to wait for Li Ping, you were unhappy every day. How are you now? Isn't it all thanks to my daughter?"

Mrs. Hu said awkwardly, "You're right, isn't that right? Besides, the Li family wanted their daughter to wait for three years. Besides our daughter, who else would be willing to do that?"

Hu Yang snorted, "Those people are short-sighted. The Li family has good character and good conditions. There are not many families like them in the entire county. I would have supported my daughter for five years, let alone three years. Look at them now. If those people knew how capable the Li family was, they would definitely regret it so much that they would bang their heads against the wall."

"That's right. Look at our daughter, she's beaming with joy from eating so much. Who wouldn't be envious? And those two bicycles, I heard there's also one for Li Ping."

At this point, Mrs. Hu's expression suddenly changed, and she said with some worry, "Old Hu, what do you think we should do if the baby in our daughter's belly is not a boy?"

"Do you think they're lying when they say they like girls?"

Mrs. Hu nodded. "Don't most families prefer boys? Even in our family, although we treat Guilan well, she is still inferior to her brothers."

"Thanks to our family for being so kind to Guilan, you don't have to worry about this. I don't think what they said is a lie."

Hu was stunned. "Did you discover something?"

Hu Yang nodded. "The eldest daughter in their family wears a watch on her wrist, and the youngest daughter has a lot of candies in her pocket."

"Ah?" Mrs. Hu was shocked. "Has his family even gone so far as to buy a watch for their daughter? The watch can be shown, but how did you know there was candy?"

"I just happened to see his kid, Xiaochen, pull the little girl to the back. I don't know what they said, and then the little girl took out several candies from her pocket and handed them to me."

Hu: ...

Hu's face was filled with astonishment. "You can see this too?"

Hu Yang said unhappily, "I have always had good eyesight, you know that."

Mrs. Hu nodded. "Then I'm relieved. Tell me about the two of us taking the money today. Are they angry?"

Hu Yang was silent for a moment. "This is indeed our fault. They tried to show us kindness, but we took money. Besides, a few dollars is nothing compared to all the food. They must have been a little angry at first, but they won't be so angry later."

Mrs. Hu patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good."

"Okay, we can get some sleep now."

...

At the same time, Li Ju ran to Li Xu's side and whispered, "Second brother, can you give me some more candies?"

Li Xu was stunned and asked curiously, "Little sister, didn't I give you some candy today? Did you finish it all?"

Li Ju shook her head and said, "I haven't finished it yet. There's still one left."

Li Xu said with a smile, "Then you can't eat anymore today. We've almost finished all the candy. Eating more will cause worms in your teeth. I'll give you more tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Li Ju immediately covered her mouth and said, "Brother, I only ate three. Will I get worms?"

Li Xu was surprised and asked, "I gave you more than four candies, right? Where are the others?"

"The rest were given to Third Brother?"

"Huh? He already has candy, why are you giving it to him?"

Li Ju said embarrassedly, "Third brother said that if I gave him candy, he would let my eldest sister give me sugar water."

Li Xu thought about it, then his face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Li Chen, come here."

Li Chen didn't know what was going on yet, and said with a playful smile, "Second brother, if you have something to say, just tell me, why are you yelling so loudly?"

Others also said, "Yeah, Xiaoxu, why are you yelling so much? Let's talk it out nicely."

Li Xu sneered, "Ask him what good things he has done."

Everyone was shocked and quickly asked Li Chen, "What trouble have you gotten into again?"

Li Chen was stunned and said, "No. I've been very honest recently."

"Oh, you're really honest. Big sister gives little sister sugar water, and you can use this to trick little sister into giving you some candy?"

When Li Mei heard this, her face darkened and she stared at Li Chen fiercely.

Li Chen then realized that his secret had been exposed, and said with a stiff upper lip, "Brother, I didn't do that."

"No? My little sister just told me that. Do you think I should believe her or you?"

Li Chen glared at Li Ju. "Didn't I tell you not to tell anyone else? Why did you tell anyone? You won't be able to drink sugar water from now on."

Li Ju glanced at Li Xu and shouted, "Second brother is not an outsider."

Li Xu patted her little head with relief, then looked at Li Chen, "You're amazing! You dare to threaten me here? Do you know where the candy they drink comes from?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen groaned, "Where did it come from? It must have been something I drank at home. I didn't complain to my parents."

Li Mei stepped forward and kicked him, angrily scolding, "That was something your second brother made for me to drink. He wanted me to have a good diet so that I could get into a good university. Then I'll give it to my younger sister."
