The mother-in-law said, "You'd better pay more attention to this matter. Among all the brothers, he got married the latest, and now he's the only one without children. Even if he has a daughter first, it will be good if it blooms first and then bears fruit!"
In fact, in the eyes of the older generation, giving birth to a girl is just to prove that the wife can give birth, and it has no other meaning.
I don’t understand where men’s sense of superiority has come from for thousands of years. Women can do everything they can do, and women can also do things they cannot do. They are all born by women, so why do they look down on women?
After this conversation, Xia Ruzheng understood more clearly that in the eyes of the older generation, a woman who can make money is not as good as a woman who can give birth to children. So even if she made some money, in the eyes of her mother-in-law, she is not as capable as her sisters-in-law.
It's really helpless and sad.
After being scolded by my mother-in-law, the little joy I had left when I returned home was completely washed away, leaving only fatigue and resentment.
In the afternoon, Liu Guoqing and Xia Ruqian came with their son.
Xia Ruzheng's son is about half a year old. He doesn't like to cry or make noise, but he likes to stare at people with his big black eyes.
Although Xia Ruqian and Xia Ruzheng knew that the child at this age still didn't understand anything, they still tried hard to teach him: "Auntie! Auntie!"
Xia Ruzheng was so reluctant to let go of his little nephew, he was so soft and cuddly.
Xia Ruqian looked through the things her sister brought back for her and said, "This ointment smells good, it's even better than the vanishing cream I buy in the city!"
Xia Ruzheng said, "I bought these in Guangzhou too. I know you like them, so I bought you a few extra bottles. Don't be stingy with them. Just buy more when they run out!"
Xia Ruqian teased her son and said, "Oh, oh, oh, look at this. Your aunt has been away for a year and she has become a landlord's wife. She has so much money!"
Xia Ruzheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't get this stuff on him. It may smell good to us, but the child may not like it."
Xia Ruqian washed her hands, sat down again, and said, "My Niu Niu is lucky. Your aunt loves you so much! You are more useful than other aunts, uncles, and other relatives!"
Niu Niu is the child's nickname.
Xia Ruzheng asked, "What else is there that you can't stand?"
Xia Ruzheng acted nonchalant and said, "Hey! It's just Niu Niu's aunt or something like that. They all have uncles. It's really annoying to keep comparing them."
Xia Ruqian has no brothers in her mother's family, only a father. Her sister has gone far away, so of course she cannot compare to her sisters-in-law who have a bunch of brothers and sisters.
"Isn't it annoying you?"
"How can they make me angry?" Mingming was still a little angry.
But who doesn't have a little bit of trouble? My sister and Liu Guoqing are a loving couple, and their child is healthy and beautiful, so that's enough.
Xia Ruzheng advised, "You can still bite your tongue with your teeth, let alone someone you didn't even know before. You're already having a better life than many people!"
Although the reality is infuriating, we have to admit that women who have a good relationship with their husbands will live a much better life.
Xia Ruqian said: "I think so too. Without brothers and sisters in our family, there will be fewer ugly quarrels. Even if there are many brothers, it will still be ugly when fighting over the family property.
It seems that a lot of things happened when I was not at home!
It turned out to be the home of Xia Ruqian's second sister-in-law. Her father had died, leaving behind a blind mother, and all the things in the house were divided up. Originally, everyone was supposed to take care of the mother in turns, but no matter how well the rules were made, there were always loopholes. For a while, something happened at the eldest brother's home and the mother was not taken care of, so the second brother's family took over. The other brothers thought that when it was the eldest brother's turn, the eldest brother would take care of her more, but the eldest brother's wife refused and made a fuss.
Xia Ruzheng didn't know what to say. It was said that both parents should be respected, but she had the same attitude. It was as if she had not given birth to a son. She didn't have to suffer if she didn't give birth to a son.
Xia Ruzheng said, "I've made up my mind. When our father gets better, I'll take him to Guangzhou to live out his days. Guangzhou is comfortable there, the winter isn't so cold, and there's plenty of food to eat, which is good for the old man's health."
Xia Ruqian immediately refused to accept this: "What should I do? Are you going to let Dad abandon me? I won't do that! Besides, Dad might not even like life in the city!"
Xia Ruzheng had thought about buying a house and building a small garden so that his father could grow vegetables in it, which would help him relieve his stress.
"The economy in Guangzhou is better, and the hospitals are better than here. Look, it takes several hours to get to our county hospital, but in Guangzhou, you just need to make a phone call and a car will take you to the hospital in just ten minutes."
