Chen Suwen was also very interested in the markets of that era.
After the apocalypse, shopping malls and similar places have stopped operating, and many people take advantage of the chaos to go to shopping malls and supermarkets to "buy for free".
Later, order was restored somewhat, and markets were set up in all the survivor bases, allowing survivors to barter.
Chen Suwen was interested in the market, and after returning to her room, she did not take any money, but instead took some items to exchange.
For example, some fabric, and some sugar.
Chen Suwen thought that at this market, some farmers would bring their own eggs, duck eggs, chickens, and ducks to exchange, and perhaps she could get some back.
Why did you bring so much stuff?
Ye Yulian was shocked to see Chen Suwen carrying a large bamboo basket on her back when she went out.
"Isn't the third son's wife still in her postpartum period? Shouldn't you give me a little more eggs?"
"And my husband, Lao Zhou, works so hard every day, shouldn't we get him some eggs to supplement his diet?"
"It's getting colder soon, shouldn't we put on some extra weight to prepare for winter?"
"There are a lot of things needed."
Adhering to the principle that no one should be left behind, she had to take care of her daughter-in-law who was in postpartum confinement, and her hardworking husband and son also needed to be fed.
She works so hard to take care of her eldest daughter-in-law, and she herself needs to get some nourishment too.
Her grandchildren and her youngest daughter are all growing and need supplements.
In short, the whole family needs to nourish their bodies.
Looking at her face, Ye Yulian asked in confusion, "You don't seem angry? Your third son's wife gave birth to two daughters, and you're not angry?"
The Zhou family only has two grandsons in the next generation: Zhou Xian and Li Cong. Li Cong still takes his mother's surname, not the Zhou family's.
Isn't Chen Suwen worried?
"What's the use of getting angry? Even if he's a grandson, he doesn't have my surname." Chen Suwen carried a bamboo basket on her back and went out with Ye Yulian, her expression calm as they walked.
Whether her grandchildren have the surname Zhou or their mother's, it's not like they have the surname Chen Suwen. What's the use of her being anxious?
Ye Yulian was speechless upon hearing her words.
"Is that really what you think? You used to care a lot about this." Ye Yulian had a good relationship with Chen Suwen and knew her quite well.
She was very proud to have three sons, but she was very dissatisfied with only one or two grandsons.
She was especially unhappy that her second son had become a live-in son-in-law, and that his grandson didn't even have her son's surname.
How come she's suddenly become so open-minded?
Chen Su asked, "What's the use of caring? I can't possibly put those two little girls back into their mother's belly and turn them into boys."
Ye Yulian leaned closer and whispered to her, "I've heard that some families who don't have children will adopt them..."
"You didn't know, did you? The Yang family next door on Aihua Street gave away two of their daughters."
Upon hearing this, Chen Suwen inquired curiously, "You gave the two girls up for adoption? Is that true?"
Ye Yulian nodded, "Didn't Old Yang's eldest daughter-in-law have two children in three years? Both were daughters, so they were both given up for adoption."
Everyone around the Yang family knows that their eldest daughter-in-law had given birth to two children in three years.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family became pregnant again less than three months after giving birth to her first child. To everyone's surprise, her second child was also a daughter.
"Old Yang's eldest daughter-in-law gave birth a few days earlier than your third son's wife. The baby was sent away before it was even a month old."
The eldest brother was also sent away.
Anyway, the eldest child is only one year old and not old enough to remember things. If they are given away, he won't remember who his biological parents are.
Chen Suwen didn't care about these things.
Adoption is a very common occurrence.
One of her friends was also adopted; she was more academically gifted than Chen Suwen, and her family was able to support her through university.
She declined to comment on this behavior, otherwise people would think she was meddling in other people's business.
"The eldest son of the Yang family is very dissatisfied. I heard that the woman in the Yang family is making a fuss about her son divorcing his wife."
The Yang family absolutely did not want a daughter-in-law who had given birth to two daughters in a row.
"Divorce? Ha, does their family have that much money to marry another daughter? What if the second one has another daughter?"
Chen Suwen sneered.
It's been said that the sex of a child is determined by the man.
The daughter-in-law of the Yang family gave birth to two daughters in a row. Isn't it all because the eldest son of the Yang family was not destined to have a son?
Why blame it on his wife?
"Hey, you know what, I heard they're planning to find a girl from the countryside, saying that country girls are healthy and can give birth to sons."
Chen Suwen sneered again.
Not all country girls are healthy, and most importantly—
"Is Old Yang's eldest son's wife willing to get a divorce?"
These days, divorces are not uncommon; after all, many people divorced to sever ties during turbulent times.
Many people also believe that the original spouse is a "feudal dreg" of arranged marriages, and say that they should pursue free love and freedom of marriage, so they divorce their original spouse.
However, many people are criticized and gossiped about after getting divorced, and this kind of thing will exist both now and decades from now.
It depends on the psychological state of the parties involved and whether the other party is willing to divorce.
Is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family willing?
Ye Yulian shook her head, "How could that be?"
“Old Yang is a worker in the machine factory, and Yang Laoda is also a worker. She doesn’t have a job, and her family can’t possibly support her divorce.”
