The Scrawny Girl of the Seventies Marries a Rough Man and is Doted On

With her eyes open, she was faced with a mud-brick house and a strong, rough man. Xia Lan was bewildered.

She discovered she had actually returned to the 1970s, becoming an orphan who had jus...

Chapter 339 Is having a son or a daughter really that important?

Looking at Feng Xiaoyou, the Queen Mother once again showed a kind smile.

If Xia Lan hadn't reminded her, Feng Xiaoyou would have forgotten what happened that morning and thought she had returned to her usual self.

She immediately became wary.

Holding her daughter tightly, Feng Xiaoyou watched the mother and child without saying a word.

"Xiaoyou, how are you? Look what Mom brought you."

The Queen Mother came over with food and opened the lunchbox for Feng Xiaoyou. Inside was just a simple stir-fried cabbage. It was a wonder that she could call it a delicacy.

Feng Xiaoyou had already eaten the meal Xiao Yuqin had prepared, and glanced indifferently at Wang's mother and Wang Wei.

"I'm not hungry."

"You've been on an empty stomach since giving birth, how could you not be hungry?"

Wang Wei listened to Feng Xiaoyou's words and said with concern.

Feng Xiaoyou glanced at Wang Wei with a wistful look. So he knew she hadn't eaten all day?

"It's my fault, it's all my fault. Mom will cook for you when I get back, right? Don't be angry, Xiaoyou. Mom will definitely go grocery shopping early tomorrow!"

The Queen Mother smiled at Feng Xiaoyou.

Xia Lan and Qin Yu listened to the Queen Mother's words; it was the first time Xia Lan had ever heard anything so disgusting.

"Oh my! Xiaoyou, your mother-in-law is finally here! I thought she had forgotten you..."

Xiao Yuqin happened to bring dinner over, and when she saw the old lady and her son appear, she couldn't contain her anger and smiled at Feng Xiaoyou.

"Yes, it's here!"

The Queen Mother twitched her lips and nodded at Xiao Yuqin.

"Oh, you even brought food? I thought she thought you were steel and didn't need to eat. Let me see what delicious food I brought you?"

Xiao Yuqin had no intention of letting Wang's mother off the hook; she wanted to make her son hear how his mother took care of his wife.

If her husband remains unmoved, then Xiaoyou must have been truly blind.

Sure enough, when Wang Wei heard this, he looked at his mother. He thought that Xiao You must have eaten lunch, and his mother should at least bring Xiao You some food.

"I missed buying groceries at noon..."

Feeling guilty, the Queen Mother dared not so confidently say that she had forgotten in front of her son.

Xia Lan looked at Xiao Yuqin, and Xiao Yuqin, receiving her daughter-in-law's signal, immediately went over.

Looking at the food the old lady had brought for Feng Xiaoyou, Xiao Yuqin couldn't help but say something.

"Oh dear! Why did you only bring so little food? This woman just gave birth; how can one cabbage be enough?"

Xiao Yuqin's words made Wang Wei's expression even worse.

He originally wanted to prepare more dishes, but his mother said that the doctor advised him to eat light meals now, so there was no need for such a rich meal!

So she insisted on only packing one cabbage.

The Queen Mother glared at Xiao Yuqin, who laughed; she wouldn't cover for her.

"But that's true, we can't count on you. You just leave a new mother to fend for herself with the doctors. Do you expect her to get out of bed and move around on her own?"

Xiao Yuqin said directly, walked to Feng Xiaoyou's side, and placed the dishes she had prepared for her next to the old lady.

Ignoring Wang Wei and his mother, Xiao Yuqin opened the lunchbox and presented it to Feng Xiaoyou.

"Xiaoyou, come and try this. You said you like winter melon, so I made it especially for you! Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"..."

The two boxed meals were placed together; one side contained cabbage, while the other side had a variety of three or four different dishes.

The Queen Mother was utterly humiliated.

"son!"

With a cold face, the mother nudged her son, signaling him to speak on her behalf.

However, after seeing the difference between the two boxed meals and realizing that the other party's care for Feng Xiaoyou was far greater than that of Wang's mother, Wang Wei fell silent.

The truth was right in front of him: his mother had no intention of taking care of his wife and even wanted to sell his daughter.

Everything he said before, such as that he would take good care of his wife and spoil her like his own daughter, was all a lie.

She doesn't even want her own granddaughter anymore, so how could she possibly care about Xiaoyou?

Wang Wei's eyes gradually cleared, and he walked to Feng Xiaoyou's side, picking up her daughter from her arms.

"Xiaoyou, hurry up and eat! I'll hold the baby."

"Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyou while I was away."

Wang Wei nodded to Xiao Yuqin and expressed his gratitude.

Xiao Yuqin glanced at Wang Wei with surprise, and Feng Xiaoyou's originally dim eyes lit up.

“We couldn’t bear it when we saw that she had just given birth and there wasn’t even anyone to serve her tea or water! How could you leave a new mother alone in the hospital and not care for her?”

Xiao Yuqin spoke earnestly to Wang Wei, but her eyes were fixed on Wang's mother.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips.

"Isn't she just a money-loser? I was back to work right after giving birth, I wasn't being so delicate..."

The Queen Mother's mutterings made everyone present roll their eyes in exasperation.

"You're acting like you're not a money-loser!"

Xia Lan said lazily, holding Tuantuan in her arms.

The Queen Mother paused and looked at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan looked at the Queen Mother, whose face was full of meanness, selfishness, and self-interest.

"You think girls are a waste of money? That's because people in the past didn't understand the importance of girls! Go look around now, and if you don't have the three major items and a few hundred yuan, who would marry their daughter to you!"

Xia Lan calmly looked up and glanced at her.

"Having a girl in the family is like having a gold nugget! When your son grows up, you'll have to prepare a house for him, three kinds of gold (wealth, gold, and silver), and you might even have to give up your job to your son..."

"On the contrary, what about daughters? Putting aside the fact that daughters are filial, the sons-in-law they bring back are practically sons."

Xia Lan directly challenged the Queen Mother's way of thinking, and after pondering it for a while, the Queen Mother was unable to refute it.

"But if I don't have a son to take care of me in my old age, people will laugh at me!"

Seemingly having finally found a reason to refute, the Queen Mother raised her voice and looked at Xia Lan.

"How many people in your village rely on their sons for old age and are doing well now?"

Xia Lan sneered. Among the villagers who live with their sons, how many could honestly say that their sons are truly filial?

"..."

The Queen Mother choked.

The older generation believed that not having a son was a disgrace, and that one had to have a son no matter what.

"I don't care, our Wang family absolutely needs a grandson!"

Unable to refute her, the Queen Mother resorted to shameless behavior.

Wang Wei's eyes turned cold, and Feng Xiaofeng slowly lowered her head.

"Wang Wei".

"daughter in law?"

When he heard his wife call him, Wang Wei looked at her.

"Let's get a divorce."

Feng Xiaofeng pursed her lips and said to Wang Wei.

"What did you say?"

Wang Wei thought he had misheard.

“I heard what your mother said. She definitely wants a grandson. Since that’s the case, let’s break up. You can marry another woman and have her! I only need Niu Niu.”

Feng Xiaoyue mustered her courage and said.

Are you serious?

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up. How could she not have thought of that! If she could just separate them and find her son a different wife, wouldn't he be able to continue having children?

"Um."

Feng Xiaoyue said expressionlessly.
