Old Mrs. Shen obviously didn't hear Fourth Aunt Shen's irony, and nodded in agreement seriously.
"When you first gave birth to Baozhu, I advised you to have another son as soon as possible, but you just wouldn't listen to me. Fortunately, there's still time now. You should hurry up and have another one."
"It's not that I don't want one. When I gave birth to Baozhu, I had a difficult labor and heavy bleeding. It hurt my body. The doctor said it might be difficult for me to have children again in the future."
"There has been no news over the years. Fortunately, we already have a treasure orb. Changzheng and I have given up on it over the years."
There was a rare bitterness in his tone.
Old Mrs. Shen, however, looked disapproving.
"Do you think Changzheng doesn't want a son? Who doesn't want a son?"
"Especially someone as successful as Chang Zheng, how could he not want a son to inherit the family business?"
"I told you from the beginning that you shouldn't listen to everything the city doctors say. We have a lot of folk remedies for having children in the countryside, but you refused to use them."
Old Mrs. Shen was talking excitedly, but Aunt Shen Yao Cuixiang's face turned pale as a sheet when she heard it.
Shen Wenfang also saw it, and quickly poked Old Mrs. Shen and nodded in the direction of Yao Cuixiang.
But Old Lady Shen didn't care at all, and even said it together with the other party.
"You can go with your sister-in-law to see it. I remember there is a goddess who is very powerful in fertility. I will take you to worship her."
"What's the point of a woman getting married if she doesn't give birth to a son for her husband's family?"
Everyone present knew that Old Lady Shen was trying to point fingers at Yao Cuixiang.
Yao Cuixiang couldn't sit still anymore and said, "I have no appetite. You guys eat first."
Then I went back to the inner room.
Shen Jinzhi and her two sisters felt sorry for their mother and ran away too.
But Old Lady Shen didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. When she was about to continue, Lin Ran couldn't stand it anymore.
These remarks reminded her of what her father said to her mother in her previous life when he wanted to take a concubine.
He put the bowl down slammed down without any politeness and asked.
"Grandpa, grandma, can we eat now? Everyone is hungry."
When Old Man Shen heard this, he immediately looked at Old Lady Shen reproachfully.
"The children are here, why are you saying these things?"
Then he immediately looked at Lin Ran lovingly, "Ranran, are you hungry? Eat quickly and don't listen to your grandma's nonsense."
Then he called others to join him.
"You guys should eat too, don't just chat."
But the children have already heard those words, and it’s better that Lin Ran is mentally strong.
But Cao Baozhu, the person involved, did not have this mentality and burst into tears again on the spot.
"Mom, what did grandma mean by that? Don't you want me anymore?"
"You just want a son? When you give birth to a son, will I be like Sister Yuye and have to serve my brother?"
This frightened Fourth Aunt Shen so much that she almost swore and promised that she had no such idea.
I still feel a little bit blaming Mrs. Shen. Why did you say these things in front of the children?
Lin Ran just wanted to laugh when she heard this. You say Cao Baozhu is stupid, but she is quite quick to react and can draw inferences from other people's experiences.
Old Mrs. Shen on this side was also threatened by Old Man Shen's eyes and gave in with a stiff face.
"Baozhu, grandma didn't mean that. I was just joking with your mom. Everyone knows that your parents love you the most."
"Look at what you're wearing and what you use. Other cousins can't even catch up. What are you worried about?"
After finally coaxing the person into submission, Old Lady Shen didn't dare to continue the topic, and everyone finally had some peace and quiet.
Seeing that everyone had started to eat, Shen Wenfang realized that Yao Cuixiang and her daughter really didn't want to eat, so she wanted to persuade them immediately, but was stopped by Old Mrs. Shen.
"Why are you yelling? If they don't want to eat, then don't eat. They've really spoiled themselves!"
Even Uncle Shen looked indifferent.
"Don't worry about them. If they are hungry, they will come out to eat by themselves."
Only then did Shen Wenfang give up.
The others didn't bother to meddle in other people's business and just started eating.
The dinner table was quiet for a while until Uncle Shen exclaimed.
"Fourth sister, did you buy a watch? This watch is very expensive!"
For a moment, everyone’s attention was attracted by the silver watch on Fourth Aunt Shen’s wrist.
Fourth Aunt Shen enjoyed the astonished gazes of the crowd, and the sullenness she had just felt was instantly swept away, and the long-lost sense of superiority came over her heart again.
She stroked her watch and fixed her hair before speaking shyly.
"Chang Zheng bought it for me. It's a Shanghai brand and cost over a hundred yuan. I was a little reluctant to part with it, but Chang Zheng insisted, saying it was worth it as long as I liked it."
This statement really caused a lot of hatred.
It would have been better if sons-in-law like Lin Weiguo didn't come today, but Uncle Shen was severely despised by his own wife.
But he was unaware of it, still staring at Aunt Shen's watch with envy like a big fool.
Even Uncle Shen, who is usually steady, was unconsciously attracted by the watch.
It can be said that there is no one here who doesn’t like watches, except Lin Ran of course.
She still prefers bracelets, but watches are quite convenient for telling time, and they are also the only disguised jewelry that can be worn openly nowadays.
Aunt Shen Si, who had regained her sense of superiority, glanced at Shen Wenfang thoughtfully. She still remembered that Aunt Shen Er had just touched her sore spot.
Although this happened many years ago, she still feels uncomfortable about it.
So at this moment she couldn't wait to prove something, and she spoke with a meaningful tone.
"So, whether a man treats his wife well or not depends on whether he is willing to spend money on her and whether he knows how to care for her."
