She's already two and a half years old.

Over the past year, Kang Kang has made some progress. He can now walk unsteadily and occasionally utter a word or two. But he's still too slow-witted, as if he can't understand human speech.

Thinking about it, he took a deep breath. He was already making progress, wasn't he? Just a little slow! Wait until he's three! The fortune teller said he'd be intelligent at three.

At this moment, Grandma Ye came out of the room, smiling as she looked at her little granddaughter: "What name did you give this chubby little girl this time?"

Du said, "I've thought it all out. We'll name her Mingyue."

"Excellent, excellent, a pearl and a moon."

Mrs. Wei chuckled. For the past two years, she had suffered endless gossip because her grandson, Guiren, was slow to speak. Little did she know, it must be her sister-in-law who was jealous and was spreading rumors and slander against her precious grandson throughout the village!

Now that the first wife had given birth to another money-losing child, Madam Wei was in high spirits and couldn't help but laugh out loud:

“Oh, sister-in-law, this name is not good. If you ask me, the name Zhuzhu was wrong from the start. It would have been better to listen to Xiuxiu’s mother and name her Daidi or Yindi. This second one... can’t be wrong again.”

Xiuxiu's mother said with a pale face, "Yes, yes, we can't call her Mingyue!"

Du and Old Lady Ye and the others all turned pale.

Madam Du said unhappily, "What business is it of yours? Just call her Mingyue!"

Madam Wei frowned: "I also hope my sister-in-law is doing well and can have a grandson soon. If she has another girl next time... wouldn't that be a whole litter of money-losing children?"

"Who are you calling a worthless piece of trash?" Madam Du sneered, furious. "A girl is fine, as long as she's whole and healthy. It's better than giving birth to a fool!"

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at little Kang Kang in Madam Wei's arms.

Just then, Xiao Kang Kang let out a silly grin, staring blankly at the treetops with his mouth watering. He looked incredibly dazed.

Mrs. Wei was furious, and Ye Peng and Wei Xiaojuan also lost their tempers.

Ye Erquan was taken aback, feeling a pang of sadness.

Mrs. Wei roared, "Who are you calling a fool? Who's the fool? How can you talk like that? My Kang Kang is a late talker! He won't start talking until he's three! He's destined for greatness!"

Madam Du was furious and shoved Xiao Mingyue into Ye Daquan's arms: "If your foul mouth didn't spew filth, who would want to talk about your grandson?"

"Ha, I... I'm just doing this for your own good, giving you a good suggestion."

"You think no one can't hear the derogatory meaning in your words! Besides, I never said Kang Kang is an idiot, I just said it's better than having an idiot. Since your family isn't an idiot, why are you so eager to claim it?"

"you--"

"Shut up! Stop arguing!" Old Man Ye shouted coldly, his face grim. "What's the point of making a fuss on such a fine day?"

Both Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei fell silent, but their chests heaved, clearly indicating that they were both quite angry.

This was the first time in their twenty years as sisters-in-law that they had argued so fiercely.
