The wedding was still simple, but this time the Liu family set up five tables at a state-run restaurant, with a large table just for the bride's family members who were accompanying her.

Don't think that the bride's family coming to the groom's house is some kind of advantage; they don't get anything out of it at all. They even have to contribute to the dowry. And when the bride gives birth, they have to come to the groom's house to bathe the baby, which costs money again. That's why the more people from the bride's family come to the groom's house, the more important it is.

This wedding made Xu Hongxing extremely envious.

Liu Yun has been extremely busy these past few months. In April, when Cheng Ke was about to give birth, she secretly prepared things for her, buying half and giving the other half as gifts.

In mid-April, Cheng Ke gave birth to a baby boy. Less than three days later, her mother-in-law came from her hometown to take care of her during her postpartum period.

Fu Yao's hometown is in a small village in a neighboring city. It takes a whole day to get there by train, and the train station is only in the county where Fu Yao lives. It takes another half a day to get from the train station to his home. So Fu Yao and his wife rarely go back.

Upon meeting this old lady, Liu Yun also witnessed the severity of the preference for sons over daughters in rural areas. Even though Fu Yao was her favorite and proudest child, when Cheng Ke had her first child, a daughter, she didn't see anyone from her husband's or her own family. It was only when Yu's mother and Liu's mother helped out that the two young people knew nothing.

Upon hearing that a grandson had been born, they rushed over with bags full of gifts, including many local specialties and two chickens. Chickens are known as "chicken butt banks" in rural areas, which shows their importance.

However, although Fu's mother favored sons over daughters, she would not mistreat her granddaughter.

Since Grandma Fu arrived, Cheng Ke hasn't taken out any of her clothes or fabrics. Liu Yun has also become more obedient, no longer sending large and small packages of things over. She only occasionally sends eggs, and not many at a time, just ten eggs.

However, Yu's mother and Grandma Fu became very close after only a few days. Grandma Fu loved the triplets and spent every day with Fu Letong and Little Lele chatting with Yu's mother about parenting. This made Grandma Fu and the others neglect their little granddaughter, which Fu Yao was happy to see.
