The first thing to do after dinner was to wash the pots and dishes. The eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaoli stood up and said, "Mom, Hu Nao wants to go to school. I have to take him to school."
The second son's wife followed suit: "I have to go take care of your grandson first."
The eldest and second oldest sons were gone, leaving only the old lady and Hu Jian and his wife.
Lin Bao reacted too late. She knew that if she didn't find a reason, she would have to wash the dishes, so she raised her hand.
"Mom, your granddaughter needs care. I'll go see her."
Hu Jianniang replied: "She's asleep and hasn't woken up yet. No need to check. Just wash the dishes first."
"...Mom, I just gave birth not long ago, I can't touch cold water yet."
"It's not winter yet, the water can't be that cold. Go wash quickly."
Unable to find an excuse to be lazy, Lin Bao went to the kitchen unhappily.
Hu Jian wanted to catch up, but when his mother saw him, she immediately grabbed him and slapped him hard on the butt twice.
"How dare you, a man, come in here? Go back! I have something to tell you!"
Hu Jian was pulled away by his mother.
The mother and son entered the main house. As soon as they entered, Hu Jian's mother began to scold her son: "Hu Jian, your wife is really no good. Starting from your eldest brother, you have given birth to four children, all of them are sons! I have been looking forward to having a son for a long time, but in the end, Lin Bao gave me a girl. What's the use of a girl!"
The old lady is a typical son-in-law. She doesn’t think any number of grandchildren are too many, but she just doesn’t like girls.
Hu Jian didn't say anything.
Hu Jian's mother said earnestly: "You are not a child anymore, what will you do if you don't have a son!"
"Mom, we are so young, at worst we can just have another one later!"
"What are you talking about?" Hu Jian's mother glared. "Ever since that girl was born, I've asked a fortune teller to do a divination. The fortune teller said that there is someone in your destiny who will bring bad luck to you. If you can't overcome it, you will never have a son in this life!
I asked a fortune teller to calculate Lin Bao's fortune, and he said that her horoscope is not compatible with yours, so she is not destined to give birth to a boy!"
Hu Jian's mother began to brainwash her son frantically: "Son, it's extremely unfilial not to have a son. Lin Bao is not a good person. Have you ever seen a decent girl who is not even 18 years old and is hanging out with a man? Why don't we throw her away? After all, you have such good conditions, son, you can find someone better who can give birth to a son!"
The first person Hu Jian thought of was Lin Yin. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl.
"Then... Mom, I'll change someone. Whoever agrees?"
Hu Jian's mother thought her son had come to terms with it, and quickly nodded: "As long as it's not Lin Bao!"
"No! Lin Bao has a cousin named Lin Yin, who is about two months older than Lin Bao. She's still in school. I heard she's a good student and will be admitted to Tsinghua University in Beijing! And her family is well-off too. Her brother Lin Han went to study abroad. If I marry Lin Yin before he comes back, won't their factory be mine?"
Hu Jianniang had met Lin Yin before, and that girl didn't look like a child from the countryside.
She is as delicate as a porcelain doll, but Hu Jianniang never thought of finding such a pretty girl as her wife.
However, it would be a source of pride to take such a daughter-in-law out with you in the future.
Hu Jianniang was indeed very tempted, but she also thought that the Lin family's second branch was not easy to communicate with: "I don't care, as long as you two are together, you have to get married immediately, and I will have a grandson in the next year!"
"Okay!" Hu Jian agreed quickly. As long as he could marry Lin Yin, he would be full of energy. By then, he would definitely be able to have two children in three years!
