Chapter 217 Everyone Comes to Borrow Grain 1

Ma Xiulian said this specifically to Li Chunhua, since they were only separated by an earthen wall, and if she spoke a little loudly, the neighbor could hear her clearly.

They selectively forgot how busy and attentive they were in taking care of her when she gave birth to their precious baby.

"She didn't just give birth yesterday—"

Chen Jianye originally wanted to muster up the courage to try again, but after being given a cold look by his mother, he immediately fell silent.

Ma Xiulian retorted angrily, "I got up the day after I gave birth to your older brother to cook. Does that mean your wife is more precious than your mother?!"

Chen Jianye shook his head frantically, "No, no, no, Mom, I was wrong!"

He was practically begging his mother to kneel down. If he had known, he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and come looking for trouble.

Ma Xiulian: "Get out!"

So Chen Jianye slunk back to his room. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Chunhua sobbing: "Why is my life so miserable? I'm unlucky, and my poor son is even born at this time of year when there are locusts! My poor, miserable son, he has to suffer like this from the moment he was born, and there's not even anyone to change his diapers!"

Seeing her crying incessantly, Chen Jianye finally lost his patience: "Stop crying! Mom is right, you have hands and feet, why can't you take care of yourself and your son?! I've been working hard in the fields all day, let me get some peace and quiet."

After saying that, he turned over and went to bed. Before long, a loud snore came from inside the bed.

Seeing that even her own husband was ignoring her, Li Chunhua felt even more heartbroken and aggrieved. Why did these damned locusts have to come now, of all times, when she was giving birth to Jinbao!

However, what she didn't know was that Zhou Zhaodi from the next room was envying her.

"How come Li Chunhua is so lucky? She always manages to have a baby and avoid work during the most difficult and tiring times. Last time, she had a baby during the harvest rush and was able to have a month of good food and drink during her postpartum period. This time, she had another baby during the harvest rush. We are all exhausted in the fields and can't even stand up straight, but she is still at home choosing people to take care of her."

Chen Jiandang didn't know how to comfort his wife, since he couldn't control when she would give birth.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhaodi was just saying it casually and quickly changed the subject: "Li Chunhua's youngest son is quite handsome, just like Guaibao, both are fair-skinned and clean-cut. Li Chunhua herself isn't much, but all her children are good-looking."

"kindness."

Chen Jiandang yawned: "Wife, let's go to sleep."

"Okay, I'll go blow out the lamp."

The kerosene lamp in this room was blown out, but the one in the next room was still lit.

Zhao Mei glanced at her two daughters at the foot of the bed, then at her own belly, and sighed softly with complicated emotions, "When will I be able to have a son?"

Why can everyone else have sons, but Zhao Mei can't?

Yesterday, when she was holding that child, she was filled with envy, thinking how wonderful it would be if she had given birth to that child herself!

Chen Jianguo remained silent, lying on the edge of the bed, and did not respond.

The second and third sons already have two boys each, but he, as the eldest brother, has none. He's desperately wanting a son.

Unfortunately, my wife's womb just wouldn't cooperate; she gave birth to three girls in a row.

Seeing his wife's red eyes, he sighed softly and comforted her, "It will happen eventually."

This is also something I'm saying to myself.

After all, he's not even thirty yet, and he can still have a few more children. Who knows, the next one might be a big, healthy son!

Da Ni huddled under the covers, listening to her parents' sighs. She clenched her fists and once again hated herself for not being a son, so that her parents wouldn't envy her second and third uncles so much.

Erni was completely unaware of this and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
