Zhang Dahua also said, "Just focus on giving birth to a son this time, and you'll have a higher status at home in the future."
After all, the Zhu family still doesn't have any grandsons.
Those daughters-in-law were also putting in a lot of effort to give birth.
And I've heard that instruments are now available that can even tell the sex of a baby.
Sheng Jinjin does want to go see it.
But I was worried that the machine might harm the fetus, so I kept hesitating.
Zhang Dahua advised her, "I saw that your sisters-in-law all went to the hospital for checkups, so they're probably fine."
"Go get checked out when your pregnancy is a bit further along."
Sheng Jinjin was a little scared, "What if it's my daughter?"
She's afraid of seeing things she doesn't want to see.
Zhang Dahua said, "If it's a girl, I'll abort it and then get pregnant with a son."
Sheng Jinjin gritted her teeth, "But the doctor said that I've only been able to get pregnant for so many years, and if I abort now, I won't be able to get pregnant again."
So even if this baby is a girl, we have to give birth to her.
Otherwise, what if I can't have children in the future?
Zhang Dahua was also afraid of this.
"Fine, let's have them then. It's better than having none at all."
Zhang Dahua had previously gone to the city with Sheng Jinjin to get medical treatment.
She does want to have another son.
Unfortunately, she has been unable to conceive.
She got pregnant just as she was about to go through menopause at the end of the year.
She and Sheng Dahu were overjoyed and very excited.
However, no one told anyone about this, for fear that the child would feel petty if they heard it.
They kept it a secret for three months before telling anyone.
When Sheng Jinjin heard that her biological mother was pregnant, she felt a mix of emotions.
She knew that Zhang Dahua had always wanted a son, and she hoped that Zhang Dahua could have one.
But seeing that she actually had a son, she worried that Zhang Dahua would no longer love her.
So she didn't know whether to hope for the child's arrival or let it go.
However, she didn't dwell on it for long before Zhang Dahua suffered a miscarriage.
The doctor said it was a miscarriage, possibly due to a defective embryo.
Zhang Dahua cried her heart out.
Ask the doctor if it's a man or a woman.
The doctor said it was a girl.
Zhang Dahua was completely heartbroken.
It seems she's destined to never have a son.
Once she recovered, she devoted herself entirely to Sheng Jinjin.
As long as Sheng Jinjin has a son, he can be considered her grandson.
From now on, Sheng Jinjin and her grandson will take care of them in their old age.
Now she and Sheng Jinjin live in the compound and have been assigned a small room.
He didn't leave, even though his sisters-in-law laughed at him.
Anyway, living with Sheng Jinjin will save on rent, and I can be with my daughter. Let others laugh if they want.
Although Sheng Jinjin also felt ashamed, she thought that she had no power or influence in the Zhu family, and that having her own family members around would at least allow her to discuss things. So she ignored her sisters-in-law's sarcastic remarks and let Zhang Dahua and her husband stay.
She's thought it through: once she earns money, she'll buy a house and register it under her parents' names.
By then, you'll be considered someone who owns a house, and you won't be looked down upon.
She is currently juggling both work and pregnancy.
But trying to do both resulted in her being too exhausted, and she didn't dare to work for fear of harming her child.
Zhang Dahua also advised, "Why don't you stop working first, have your son first, and then your mother-in-law will definitely give you something."
Granny Zhu had already declared that whoever gave birth to a son first would receive a small house.
Moreover, it's a separate set, which is quite a generous reward.
The daughters-in-law of the Zhu family are all highly motivated to get married and are trying to conceive.
Sheng Jinjin also wanted this reward, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to resign first.
However, she wanted to see if the baby was a boy or a girl first.
If it's a son, I'll quit my job to focus on the pregnancy.
If it's a daughter, I'll continue working.
You should always keep a copy.
Otherwise, if she loses her job after giving birth to a daughter and her in-laws don't like her, her future will be ruined.
I came back now to see if my house has been demolished, so I can get a new house in return, and then I won't have to worry about not having a place to live.
Zhang Dahua went around asking around and found that their area was not yet included in the demolition plan, which made her very distressed.
I heard that He Yushen's house is going to be demolished.
"I never thought she'd be so lucky. She became a boss and even got a land expropriation compensation. Now she's going to be rolling in money."
Sheng Jinjin was very jealous.
She had disliked Sheng Yueqing since she was a child because Sheng Yueqing was better at studying, better at making money, and prettier than her.
Even though she was starving and emaciated, her captivating eyes were still stunningly beautiful.
From a young age, she wished Sheng Yueqing was ugly, or better yet, an idiot like her older sister, so she wouldn't have to be more capable than her.
I never expected that she would turn from a chicken into a phoenix, becoming so rich, and even her house was demolished for compensation.
Sheng Jinjin had wicked thoughts.
"Mom, she's so rich, do you think she'd lend us a house?"
In the past, Zhang Dahua would have been tempted.
But after that interrogation, she realized that Sheng Yueqing had a powerful background, so she didn't dare to do it anymore.
"Forget it, she has no feelings for us, and she's not even our biological daughter. She'll never give us a house."
They said they were borrowing, but they really meant they wanted it.
But Sheng Yueqing hated them so much, how could she possibly give them houses for free?
Sheng Jinjin looked on with envy.
"You raised her all these years, so asking for a house isn't unreasonable, is it?"
"Besides, it was Grandpa who brought her here, not us. At least we gave her food and an education."
"Even if she's your adoptive mother, she's so rich, it's only right that she gives you a house."
Zhang Dahua was tempted by what he said.
Will this work?
She actually wanted her own house too.
Ideally, it should be a house in the city.
After all, living in someone else's home means being dependent on them.
If Sheng Yueqing were to give her a house, she would have face.
From now on, my daughter will live with them, and the whole family will no longer have to live under someone else's roof.
