Ge Peng's wife was more than seven months pregnant at this time.
With her pregnant belly, she asked Ge Peng in confusion why he wouldn't let her reveal her second brother's whereabouts.
Those soldiers clearly cared a lot about his second brother. If the officers and soldiers knew about his second brother's situation, wouldn't Ge Qiang's life be more secure?
Ge Qiang thought that his second brother was willing to risk his life to avoid the prince's investigation, and he should understand what his second brother meant.
Although he was unaware of what his second brother had experienced on the front lines.
However, he respected his younger brother's choice.
Since his second brother didn't want to, he would grant his wish.
As for the reason, we can only wait until my second brother is willing to tell us.
Ge Peng was a rough country bumpkin, and he wasn't very good at explaining himself when his wife asked him questions.
He could only say to his wife, "Don't think about those things. Don't stop your second brother from thinking about what he doesn't want to do. If any more soldiers come, just say that he hasn't returned yet."
In ancient times, women were expected to be subservient to their husbands. Since her husband had said so, she would listen to him.
So Ge Peng's wife nodded to him, but she wondered why he hadn't brought his brother-in-law back.
"Husband, why didn't you bring my second brother back?"
When Ge Peng heard his wife ask him a question, he explained Ge Qiang's condition at the clinic to her.
Upon hearing this, Ge Peng's wife sighed and said to Ge Peng, "Ah... it's really fortunate that we escaped with our lives."
Brother Peng, kill one of the chickens in the yard, make some soup, and send it to Second Brother.
When Ge Peng heard that his wife was so understanding, he happily said, "Let's splurge today. We'll kill two. One will be for you and Mother to nourish yourselves, and the other will be for Second Brother."
The chickens at Ge Peng's house are all wild animals that he usually catches when he goes up the mountain to hunt.
When hunting wild animals, it is common practice to leave them alive, and pheasants are one of the animals that are hunted.
When Ge Peng's wife heard what he said, she felt warm inside.
Since she married into the Ge family, she has felt very happy, thanks to her mother-in-law's protection and her husband's love.
Unlike her own family, which favored sons over daughters, she had never had a full meal growing up.
Ge Peng's wife smiled happily and said to him, "Okay, we'll do as you say. We'll nourish the baby in the womb too."
I'll try my best to give you a big, healthy boy as our first child.
In ancient times, many people favored sons over daughters, but Ge Peng did not share that view. He believed that having a son or a daughter was the same.
As for his own mother, she longed for a daughter in the family, so he really hoped to be reborn as a girl.
So he said to his wife, "Whether we have a son or a daughter is up to fate. I'll love whatever comes out of your belly."
Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself by having a child; we don't care about that.
Besides, Mom still wants a granddaughter, and you...
Don't overthink things about whether it's a boy or a girl.
Hearing Ge Peng's words, Ge Peng's wife was even happier.
Before she got married, she always listened to her mother's nagging.
They say that a woman must give birth to a son to gain a foothold in her husband's family after marriage, and that a woman who cannot give birth to a son will be looked down upon by her husband's family...
Hearing her husband's words today, she finally felt a weight lifted from her heart.
Regardless of whether her husband was telling the truth or not, at least on the surface, saying those words made her feel quite comforted, didn't it?
Ge Peng's wife was pleased to hear this, and she said to Ge Peng, "Well, don't overthink it. Whether it's a boy or a girl, we'll leave it to fate."
In fact, Ge Peng had already seen through his wife's thoughts. Today, he happened to find a suitable opportunity to talk about it, so he told his wife what was on his mind.
This way, my wife can feel more at ease and avoid worrying about things that affect her mood, which is bad for the baby in her belly.
