Chapter 97 Why does my daughter look like my aunt?
"If you're in such a hurry to have a baby, can the baby be smart?" Yan's mother complained.
"It's not you who is giving birth to the baby, so it's not your belly that is damaged. If she wants to give birth, let her do it." said Old Mrs. Yan.
Old Lady Yan didn't care much about Xu Ruyun's health. If Xu Ruyun wanted to be with Yan Yichen, she had to make sacrifices. Xu Ruyun herself knew that her family background was not good enough and that she had no other abilities, so she wanted to have more children.
In fact, Xu Ruyun's idea was not wrong. The child raised by Yan's mother would probably not be close to Xu Ruyun. If Xu Ruyun had to rely on a child who was not close to her, she would live a very painful life. It would be better for her to have a child while she was still young.
"I didn't tell her not to have the baby, or to abort it." Yan's mother said, "It's just that she gave birth to the baby like this. If you don't know, you might think we forced her to have it."
"..." Old Mrs. Yan didn't want to talk. These people could do whatever they wanted.
Su Xueqing got in the car and carried her daughter back. If she carried her daughter all the way back, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold her daughter. Taking the car was the most convenient option.
When I got home, Ning Yanjing had just returned.
The family of three ate together, and Su Xueqing even fed her daughter.
"I'll feed you." Ning Yanjing said, "You eat first."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said.
Fortunately, Ning Wenjun didn't insist on her mother feeding her, and it was the same if her father fed her. Ning Wenjun ate her meal mouthful by mouthful, and she looked very happy. After the meal, Su Xueqing let her daughter sit in the stroller, and she and her husband pushed her daughter to walk in the yard.
"Flowers, flowers." The baby wants to reach out when he sees the flowers blooming next to him.
"You're not afraid of pollen allergies." Su Xueqing still picked a flower for her daughter, pinched the stamens, and handed the flower to her daughter. Fortunately, her daughter's physical fitness is not so easy to be overexposed to pollen.
How could a child know so much? She didn't know that flowers have stamens. She looked at whatever flower her mother gave her. The child was still thinking about putting the petals in her mouth, but Su Xueqing took the flower away directly.
Although this flower is not poisonous, I can't let my daughter develop the habit of putting anything into her mouth.
"Sorry, you can't eat this." Su Xueqing gently patted the back of her daughter's hand.
There was no strength at all. Ning Wenjun just felt that her mother was playing with her and she was giggling over there.
"I'm talking to you, and you're still laughing." Su Xueqing chuckled.
"Mom, mom." Xiao Wenjun called her mother.
"Let people see, don't plant poisonous flowers and plants in the yard, plant some non-toxic ones instead." Su Xueqing said.
"I told them when you were pregnant that we cleaned it up once." Ning Yanjing said, "Then I asked them to plant non-toxic flowers and plants. There are no daffodils or anything like that here. But I did plant some garlic."
Those garlics were planted by Su Xueqing, and they are growing quite well.
"Your daughter has a nose, she didn't think about eating garlic." Su Xueqing said, "Today, mom told us to eat over there, I didn't stay, I said the baby is picky about food. My mom said I was also picky about food when I was a child, saying that when I was a child, I didn't eat, so she let me starve, and I ate when I was hungry. I dare not do that to my own daughter."
The Su family's situation was indeed not very good at the time. They were lucky to have food to eat, so how could they find so many delicious foods for Su Xueqing?
"So many people feel sorry for our daughter. They can't bear to see her cry. When she curls her lips, they are all worried that she will be unhappy." Su Xueqing said, "They are not afraid that she will develop a lawless personality."
"She is still young." Ning Yanjing said.
"She is still young. When she grows up a little, we must teach her more." Su Xueqing said, "Don't be so willful and capricious."
"No." Ning Yanjing said, "Jiaxuan had an even worse temper when she was a child."
"Why don't you talk about your temper when you were a child, but about Jiaxuan?" Su Xueqing raised her eyebrows, "Jiaxuan is still abroad and hasn't come back yet."
"We gave birth to a daughter." Ning Yanjing coughed lightly, "The daughter looks like her aunt. Jiaxuan was also picky about food when she was a child."
"..." Su Xueqing's mouth twitched slightly. Did her husband want her to blame all the faults on her sister-in-law?
In a foreign country, Ning Jiaxuan sneezed and rubbed her nose. Was it because she got up too early? That's why she caught a cold? The weather was indeed getting colder. She had to be more careful. Back home, no one told her to put on more clothes. At most, they would say a few words on the phone or in a letter. It was not like when she was at home, her parents would remind her every now and then.
Ning Jiaxuan has been abroad for more than a year and she misses home. Ning Jiaxuan thinks that as long as there is more than half a year left, she will graduate, and when she graduates, she will go back. She has seen enough abroad and traveled around, but the air of her motherland is still sweet. No matter how developed a foreign country is, it is not her own motherland.
Xu Ruyun was pregnant with her second child, and her pregnancy reaction was a bit severe. She vomited frequently, ate and vomited, and vomited and ate again. Xu's mother had to come and take care of Xu Ruyun more often. Xu Ruyun had to draw designs at home, and she didn't want to delay her work. She had received many orders for the designs she had drawn before, and Yan Yichen also praised Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun wanted to let Yan Yichen know that she could have children and help him in his career, so that she could gain a foothold in the factory in the future.
"You are in this condition, but you are still drawing. It's so hard." Xu's mother peeled an orange for Xu Ruyun.
"Yes, many customers like the hairpins and headbands I designed, and the sales of these styles are very good." Xu Ruyun said, "There are a lot of orders. Many people in the factory recognize my ability. If I retreat at this time and don't know how to catch up, it will be difficult to move to the next level. Few people can remember the past glory, they only remember the present."
For example, the Yan family’s former glory, many people know what the Yan family was like in the past.
Xu Ruyun dared to guarantee that as long as she left the factory, stopped drawing designs, and did not produce any results, those people would soon forget her.
"Mom, don't worry, it's just drawing." Xu Ruyun said.
"I don't know whether your baby is a boy or a girl." said Xu's mother.
"It's okay to have a girl, and then we can have a son later." Xu Ruyun said, "We are in the hairpin jewelry business, so it's better to have a girl."
Xu Ruyun did not put too much pressure on herself. She missed her daughter in her previous life and was not afraid of having a daughter as her second child. Xu Ruyun herself was a woman and she could not look down on women.
In the previous life, the Liao family looked down on girls and were not very nice to Xu Ruyun's daughter. Xu Ruyun treated her daughter better and let her know that her mother loved her and that a daughter was not a bad existence but her mother's sweetheart.
At this moment, Xu Ruyun looked down at her belly and did not blame the child for all the pregnancy reactions. It was she who wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, so the child could not be blamed.
"I will wait for a while after this baby is born." Xu Ruyun said.
"Wait, of course you have to wait." Xu's mother said, "You have two children in two years, not two in three years."
"Well, it's just that this child has a different meaning." Xu Ruyun said, "We still have to have this child."
Xu Ruyun couldn't live without this child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, it could be a buffer zone between her and Yan Yichen. The eldest son was at Yan's house, and this child had to stay with her. Xu Ruyun had thought about a lot. She had also thought about whether to have another child so early. She also thought that as a woman, she had to be ruthless. As long as there was no problem with her body, she would still give birth to this child.
After finally being together with Yan Yichen and getting a marriage certificate, Xu Ruyun wanted to make her future bright, not dark. Xu Ruyun wanted to control her own future, not let Yan's mother control her future.
Did Yan's mother think that she could threaten Xu Ruyun by taking a child away?
Impossible!
It is impossible for Xu Ruyun to be easily moved by Yan's mother's smile. At worst, she would just give up the child and have a new one.
"She's pregnant," said Xu's mother. "Listen to the doctor and take supplements if necessary."
"It's good for you." Xu Ruyun said, "I won't let myself down."
Ning Jiaxuan, who was far away abroad, was not surprised when she learned about Xu Ruyun's experience. Xu Ruyun's family background was not good, and there were many people who were more capable than Xu Ruyun. Of course, Xu Ruyun had to do two things at the same time, she had to have more children, and she had to raise her own children, not someone else's.
At the end of the year, Yan's mother learned that Yan Tuo was going to get married, and the person he was going to marry was the daughter of a nouveau riche. Yan's mother was not satisfied with this marriage. She thought that her son had married Xu Ruyun, who had a bad family background. How could an illegitimate son marry the daughter of a nouveau riche? Even though the nouveau riche was not particularly rich and was far inferior to the Yan family, Yan's mother was still very dissatisfied.
"Mom, how could you let him find such a marriage? Do you want him to step on Yichen's head?" Yan's mother was angry.
"He can't affect Yichen." Old Lady Yan said, "That family is not very rich, they just made some money in recent years. Our family is a lean camel after all, and Yichen has run a good factory in recent years. They think highly of our Yan family, so they agreed to this marriage. Yan Tuo didn't work in the factory, so you can just treat him as a woman who was married off for marriage."
Old Lady Yan didn't want Yan Tuo to marry a random woman. Yan Tuo himself was not stupid. If he married a bad woman, he didn't know what would happen in the future. The daughter of the nouveau riche knew clearly that her parents valued sons over daughters. Although the family seemed to have made some money, it was not certain whether her parents and brothers could keep the money. She should find a suitable person to marry as soon as possible while the family conditions were still good.
The reason why Yan Tuo caught the attention of that family was that he had a building that was big enough for the couple to live in. If Yan Tuo and his wife didn't need to live in such a large space, they could rent out two floors. Yan Tuo could also get a sum of money from Yan Yichen every month, so living would definitely not be a problem.
Regardless of whether Yan Tuo was an illegitimate child or not, Yan Tuo and Yan Yichen were brothers, and Yan Yichen also recognized Yan Tuo's existence. The Yan family did offend many people, but the Yan family had once been glorious, and had more background than the nouveau riche who had never been glorious. It would be great to let a useless daughter marry Yan Tuo and establish a relationship with the Yan family.
Yan Tuo and the daughter of the nouveau riche both have their own concerns. They want their future lives to be more stable.
This marriage was arranged by Old Lady Yan, not Yan Tuo himself. Old Lady Yan thought that the Yan family had offended too many people, and it was difficult for the Yan family to make friends with the upper class, but the Yan family had to make friends with people, and some nouveau riche became the first choice of the Yan family. Old Lady Yan was using Yan Tuo as a pawn. Since Yan Tuo had returned to the Yan family, he should be of some use.
But Yan's mother didn't care about all that. She just thought that the nouveau riche's family was much richer than the Xu family. Wouldn't this be equivalent to letting Yan Tuo's wife step on Yan Yichen's wife?
"No, this won't work." Yan's mother said, "Why should he..."
"Because he is a member of our Yan family!" Old Lady Yan said, "This matter has been settled. Don't make any more moves. Haven't you seen the child's full-month banquet clearly?"
"I..." Every time Mother Yan thought about the baby's full-month banquet, she was very dissatisfied. How could those people treat her family like this? They accepted the invitation, so they should come to the baby's full-month banquet, instead of not coming one by one.
"Yi Chen needs connections to do business," Old Lady Yan said. "You've cut off so many connections, isn't that enough? Do you think your son is supernatural? Can he handle everything on his own? Yan Tuo doesn't work in the factory, doesn't have any shares, and can't affect Yi Chen."
The ones who own shares are Xu Ruyun and the Xu family. Yan Yichen is not stupid enough to give shares to Yan Tuo.
"Don't just hit your forehead and think that this thing can't be done, that thing can't be done. Have you thought about it?" Old Lady Yan said, "You don't even know how many big things have been ruined by thinking about those small things all day long."
"Mom..." Yan's mother felt guilty.
"That family is not very wealthy, and they favor boys over girls." Old Lady Yan said, "They can't give Yan Tuo much help."
Old Lady Yan wanted to find a better family for Yan Tuo, but Yan Yichen couldn't find a better family, let alone Yan Tuo. Yan Tuo was an illegitimate child, and he didn't have any shares in the factory. He relied on Yan Yichen's money every month to live. Those people with good family backgrounds would never be interested in him.
As Yan Tuo grows up, he will definitely get married. It is impossible not to get married.
"Don't make trouble." Old Lady Yan said, "Take good care of your grandson."
Maybe it was because of what Old Lady Yan said, or maybe it was because Yan Tuo and that woman didn't have a wedding banquet after they got their marriage certificate, so Yan's mother didn't go over to make a fuss.
Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun did not hold a wedding banquet when they got married, so Yan Tuo naturally did not hold a wedding banquet when he got married. Old Lady Yan told people about this, in order to prevent Yan's mother from being unhappy. Because there was no wedding banquet, the betrothal gifts were increased. The nouveau riche had no objection. If the eldest brother did not hold a wedding banquet, then it was normal for the younger brother not to hold a wedding banquet.
Yan Tuo wanted to hold a wedding banquet, but then he decided not to because he couldn't upset Old Lady Yan and Yan Yichen. Yan Tuo also wanted to use this to gain sympathy so that Yan Yichen would give him more money every month.
As Yan Tuo thought, Yan Yichen gave him some extra money every month. Yan Tuo didn't have a wedding banquet because of Yan Yichen and Yan's mother.
"More money?" When Xu Ruyun learned that Yan Yichen gave Yan Tuo more money every month, she was shocked. Yan Tuo had already received a lot of money every month before.
"They didn't hold a wedding banquet." Yan Yichen said, "They didn't hold one because they considered that we didn't hold one."
"..." Xu Ruyun was not very happy. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Yan Yichen said made some sense. "Okay, give it to him. After all, he is your biological brother."
"If money can solve the problem, it's not a problem." Yan Yichen said, "Give them a little more money, and they will shut up and say less."
"Yeah." Xu Ruyun nodded, "This is embarrassing for you. Also, if they hold a wedding banquet, I'm afraid mom will go and make trouble. Mom has always been very dissatisfied with your brother and has tormented him a lot."
"Don't worry about them." Yan Yichen said, "How is the baby?"
"Not bad." Xu Ruyun said, "Do you like boys or girls?"
"We already have a son." Yan Yichen said. He didn't care whether the baby in Xu Ruyun's belly was a boy or a girl. He knew that Xu Ruyun wanted to get pregnant again and have a second child as soon as possible because their eldest son was taken away by Yan's mother.
Yan Yichen met Xu Ruyun's eyes filled with maternal love, and he felt a little guilty. He originally wanted his biological mother to take care of the child so that she would do less bad things and focus all her energy on the child.
Since Yan's mother took care of the child, Yan Yichen suffered less when he went to the Yan family. As soon as the child cried, Yan's mother immediately went to take care of the child. Yan's mother scolded Yan Yichen less often and with fewer words, and Yan Yichen felt much better.
Otherwise, every time Yan Yichen went there, Yan's mother would always say something, and returning home would be like going to the execution ground.
"You'll know when the baby is born." Yan Yichen said.
Time flies, and soon it is a new year again. Xu Ruyun has not given birth to her second child yet, but her eldest son is already one year old.
This time, the Yan family held a birthday party for their child, and they didn't invite so many people. It would be even more ridiculous if they invited people but they didn't come and the tables were empty. The Yan family invited people who were close to them, and didn't invite the Ning family.
Ning Yanjing did not receive the invitation, and neither did the Ning family.
"Didn't you receive any invitations?" Su Xueqing was a little surprised when she heard Sister Ning say that there were no invitations. Su Xueqing originally thought that the Yan family would hold a big birthday party for the child and invite many people.
"No." Mrs. Ning said.
Ning Yuhao was playing with Ning Wenjun. Ning Wenjun was over a week old. In two months, she would be two years old. She walked unsteadily but liked to walk more. After walking for a while, she felt tired and sat down on the ground, not caring that the ground was dirty. Ning Yuhao followed Ning Wenjun, fearing that his sister would fall.
While the two children were playing together, Mrs. Ning talked to Su Xueqing.
"It's better not to have an invitation." Su Xueqing said, "After receiving the invitation, sister-in-law, are you still going?"
"Even though I received the invitation, I still won't go." Mrs. Ning said, "It's enough to give them face once."
Old Lady Yan just thought that the Ning family had given them a chance to show their respect, and they couldn't expect them to come to the child's first birthday party. That's enough, don't push it any further. Old Lady Yan didn't shamelessly send an invitation to the Ning family, as the Ning family had already given the Yan family a lot of respect.
"Yan Yichen's brother didn't hold a wedding banquet." Sister Ning said, "The girl's family also agreed not to hold a wedding banquet. If the brother didn't hold a wedding banquet, it would be difficult for an illegitimate child to hold a wedding banquet."
"As long as their family is happy." Su Xueqing said.
"This kind of family may seem like there are only a few people, but it's actually very complicated," said Mrs. Ning. She works for the Women's Federation and often goes to the grassroots to chat with those people and learn about what they are like. Some families with only three people can live like a family with more than ten people.
Yan's mother is taking care of her grandson, and Xu Ruyun is about to give birth to another child. These two children will probably not be close to each other in the future, and will even become competitors. Even if Xu Ruyun gives birth to a girl, she will definitely give birth to a boy later. Yan Tuo and his wife did not hold a wedding banquet. They don't have any ideas now, but they want to talk about benefits. When Old Lady Yan is alive, she can calm down. Now that Old Lady Yan is gone, it's Yan's mother's world.
"As for you, you don't need to have any contact with them." Mrs. Ning said, "Yan Yichen's wife was your former neighbor?"
"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded, "But we didn't have much contact. She is older than me, and we are not classmates. We didn't study together."
When Su Xueqing got home from school, she either did her homework or did some odd jobs at home. Xu Ruyun loved to go out and play more than Su Xueqing, and often went to play with so-called friends. Su Xueqing also had some playmates, but they were not particularly close. She had different playmates in elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college.
It's not that Su Xueqing doesn't value those people, but everyone has their own way to go. At this time, there are no mobile phones, no chat software, and they can't chat online. They don't meet often on weekdays, just say hello and ask a few words when they meet.
"It's better to have less contact." Mrs. Ning said, "I think she is quite calculating."
Sister Ning had met Xu Ruyun several times. Xu Ruyun was not the kind of dodder that simply attached itself to a man. Xu Ruyun had ambition in her eyes. It was impossible for her to do nothing. Others might think that Xu Ruyun wanted a child too much, but Xu Ruyun was not just simply wanting a child.
In the evening, Sister-in-law Ning was going to take Ning Yuhao back home, but Ning Yuhao wanted to stay for dinner, so Sister-in-law Ning had to stay for dinner with Ning Yuhao. When Ning Yanjing came back, he saw Sister-in-law Ning and her son, and he greeted them.
"The food in your house is so delicious. Yuhao can eat half an extra bowl of rice here." Mrs. Ning, "The same food, but the one here is more delicious."
"There is my aunt and my younger sister." Ning Yuhao said.
"Yes, you are the youngest in the family, and here, your sister is the youngest. You have to set an example for your sister." How could Mrs. Ning not understand Ning Yuhao's little thoughts.
Ning Yuhao knew at a young age that he had to behave better in front of his pretty aunt, and he also knew that he had to set an example for his sister and not let her think that he was not good enough. Mrs. Ning thought that when they were in the northwest, Ning Yuhao was not so good to the little sister of the neighbor. Sure enough, he had to be a blood-related sister to be good.
Ning Wenjun ate with great relish, as long as the dishes were what she liked, she would eat them. If she didn’t like the dishes, she would throw them on the table.
"You have to eat vegetables." Su Xueqing looked at her daughter, "You have to grow taller."
"Mom, eat." Ning Wenjun rolled her eyes, "Mom, grow taller."
"..." Su Xueqing didn't say anything else, she just looked at her daughter.
"Junjun has grown taller." Little Ning Wenjun started eating vegetables. If she doesn't eat vegetables anymore, her mother will be unhappy. Her mother's eyes are not scary. Little Ning Wenjun said that she is a good child and will definitely not make her mother sad. "Junjun has grown taller."
Ning Yanjing picked up an extra portion of vegetables for his daughter with his chopsticks. Little Ning Wenjun's face almost fell when she saw the vegetables.
"Junjun, grow taller." Little Ning Wenjun repeated, she could eat it. Little Ning Wenjun looked at Ning Yuhao beside her, "Brother, eat too, brother, grow taller."
"Yes, your brother eats too." Mrs. Ning chuckled.
"I ate it. I ate it with my sister." Ning Yuhao added, "Brother, eat more."
"Well, brother, eat more." Ning Wenjun felt relieved when she heard Ning Yuhao's words. Her brother should eat more and she should eat less.
Su Xueqing saw the smile on her daughter's face. Her daughter was indeed a bit picky about food, but fortunately, she let her daughter eat some vegetables and she would eat them. Su Xueqing was not very harsh to her daughter. Xiao Wenjun simply didn't like her mother to be unhappy.
After dinner, Mrs. Ning took Ning Yuhao back home, and Ning Yuhao was still reluctant to leave Ning Wenjun.
"Sister, I will come again." Ning Yuhao said.
"Brother, come here more often." Ning Wenjun said, Brother, come here more often, brother, eat more vegetables.
Su Xueqing could see through her daughter's little thoughts at a glance. Her daughter just thought that her brother would help her.
"Do you like your brother?" Su Xueqing watched the car drive away and she looked down at her daughter.
"I like it." Ning Wenjun nodded.
"Because my brother can eat vegetables?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Brother needs to grow taller." Ning Wenjun said.
"You are right." Su Xueqing said.
"Brother is also young, and he needs to grow up." Xiao Ning asked Jun, "Brother and I both need to grow up."
"Yes, you all have to grow up." Su Xueqing said, "Look at your brother, he eats a lot of vegetables, but you have to close your eyes before eating a bite of vegetables."
"The meat is delicious." Little Ning Wenjun said, "It's very delicious."
"It's delicious, delicious. I'm not stopping you from eating meat." Su Xueqing lowered her head and pinched her daughter's little face. "Eat more meat, you'll be chubby."
"It's soft." Little Ning Wenjun said, "Mom can pinch it."
"Let's go, go into the house." Su Xueqing said.
When Xu Ruyun's son's first birthday party was held, she went there, but she didn't stand too close to Yan's mother. Xu Ruyun was worried that Yan's mother would push Xu Ruyun if she was unhappy. That would be bad. Don't think that Yan's mother wouldn't do such a thing. Yan's mother is crazy, and no one knows what she will do.
The first birthday party was too quiet. It was impossible for Yan's mother to find fault with herself, but only with Xu Ruyun.
"If it weren't for you, would the child's first birthday party be so shabby?" Yan's mother wanted to find fault with Xu Ruyun as soon as she saw her.
Xu Ruyun was too lazy to pay attention to Yan's mother. Instead, she covered her stomach with one hand and moved away from Yan's mother. It was always right to stay away from her.
"You..." Before Yan's mother could say anything else, Yan Yichen was already standing beside Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun agreed to give her eldest son to be raised by Yan's mother. Yan Yichen felt that he owed Xu Ruyun, and his wife was pregnant, so Yan Yichen did not dare to let Yan's mother get close to Xu Ruyun.
"I just want to say something to her, are you so afraid that I will hurt her?" said Yan's mother.
Of course Yan Yichen was afraid, how could he not be afraid?
"You are husband and wife, you are the closest." Mother Yan rolled her eyes.
Yan Tuo and his wife looked at this scene and neither of them went over. Their relationship with Yan's mother became even worse.
About a month after the child's first birthday party, Xu Ruyun gave birth to a girl. Perhaps because Xu Ruyun gave birth to a girl, Yan's mother did not think of bringing a girl over.
It's just a girl. Even if the two children are only one year apart in age, a girl can't cause much trouble.
Xu Ruyun understood that she was lucky to have a daughter. If she had a son, it would be difficult to handle. After two or three years, when she recovered, she could give birth to a son.
At that time, Yan's mother had raised the eldest child for several years and they had a deep affection for each other. She definitely would not have thought of raising another younger child, and the eldest child would also have complained about not letting Yan's mother raise the child.
Xu Ruyun didn't say those words, Yan Yichen said that he said them in front of Xu Ruyun. Xu Ruyun came back from the hospital, she was at home, and Yan Yichen said them in the room.
"Hello, daughter. Mom didn't say she would take her back." Yan Yichen said, "Let us raise this child by ourselves. Mom will just raise her precious grandson."
"Well, OK." Xu Ruyun did not say that Yan Yichen was wrong. As early as when they were together, Xu Ruyun knew that Yan Yichen did not have much feelings for her. Yan Yichen treated Xu Ruyun very differently from other women, and Xu Ruyun was already satisfied. People must know how to be content. Wanting too much will only make yourself miserable.
Xu Ruyun is not worried about giving birth to a daughter, as a daughter can be very useful. Xu Ruyun will teach her daughter well and let her daughter know that she should fight and compete. Of course, she will also teach her daughter to love her younger brother. Xu Ruyun gave up her eldest son, so she doesn't have to let her daughter take care of the eldest son.
Xu's mother was very sad. Her daughter was so anxious to get pregnant, but ended up with a daughter. Xu's mother sighed several times in front of Su's mother.
"A daughter is not bad either. They have both a son and a daughter now." said Su's mother.
"How can this be called having both a son and a daughter?" Xu's mother said, "The eldest son is not around, and she can only see him a few times a year. Her mother-in-law is afraid that she will corrupt the child, so she won't let her see the child. Now that she has given birth to a girl, I'm afraid her life will be difficult in the future."
"No." Su's mother consoled, "A girl is also her man's seed."
"That's the only thing we can think of." said Xu's mother.
Yan Yichen didn't want to have more conflicts with Yan's mother. It would be best if he could reduce some trouble. Yan Yichen was very satisfied that Xu Ruyun gave birth to a daughter, so he didn't have to tell Yan's mother about keeping the child, and Yan's mother loosened her mouth.
This made Xu Ruyun realize more clearly how unreliable Yan Yichen was. She, as a wife, was obviously not as important as her biological mother. After many years, the relationship between the couple became weaker, not to mention the life. Xu Ruyun was more eager to gain a foothold in the factory. Even if Yan Yichen did not give her more shares, she wanted everyone to recognize her.
Su's mother went to Su Xueqing's house. Little Ning Wenjun had just fallen asleep, so Su Xueqing went downstairs to talk to Su's mother.
"Mom." Su Xueqing said.
"Are you asleep?" Su's mother asked.
"She fell asleep." Su Xueqing said, "When I'm at home, she likes me to coax her. Even if I'm sitting next to her, she'll be more obedient."
"All children like their mothers." Mother Su said, "Where is the son-in-law? Is he out?"
"He sent his nephew back home and went to see his parents." Su Xueqing said, "Mom, do you have something to talk to him about?"
"No, nothing happened." Mother Su said, "Xu Ruyun gave birth to a girl."
"Oh." Su Xueqing didn't pay attention to Xu Ruyun. It turned out that Xu Ruyun had given birth.
"Her mother sighed several times in the yard." Su's mother said, "She said her daughter was anxious to get pregnant and give birth, but gave birth to a daughter."
"It's good to have a daughter." Su Xueqing said, "Xu Ruyun now has a son and a daughter."
"That's what I said too." Mother Su said, "They want Xu Ruyun to have another son."
“Give birth to a son…” Su Xueqing didn’t understand, “Let them do whatever they want.”
"After giving birth this time, you should take care of yourself." Mother Su said, "If you continue to be pregnant, it will be too bad for your health."
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this." Su Xueqing said, "That's their family's business, not ours."
It's not that the Xu family and Xu Ruyun didn't understand the harm of frequent pregnancies to the body, but Xu Ruyun had given birth to a son, so she wanted to have another child. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, at least she had a child growing up by her side.
Xu's mother not only sighed in front of Su's mother, but when she went to take care of Xu Ruyun after she gave birth, she also said, "Why isn't it a boy?"
"Mom, she's a girl. Please don't say this in front of the child in the future." Xu Ruyun said.
"She is still so young, how can she understand?" said Xu's mother.
"The child will grow up and understand in the future." Xu Ruyun said, "You said it's a habit, or someone tells the child that you said these words in the future, it's not good. Yichen and I both think the girl is good. His mother didn't take the child away. His mother didn't go to the hospital to see the child, nor did she come to see him. His grandmother only came to see him yesterday."
The Yan family really didn't value girls. It might be because they already had a boy, or it might be because they simply didn't like girls. No matter what the Yan family's mentality was, Xu Ruyun had to be good to her daughter.
"Mom, the more they dislike girls, the better we have to treat them." Xu Ruyun said, "Sometimes, girls are much more useful than boys."
"You...sigh." Mother Xu sighed, "That's right, at least you can keep the child with you, do you still plan to give birth?"
"Wait two to three years," Xu Ruyun said, "recover your body and take a break."
Xu Ruyun did not intend to give up having a son. She had to have a son to leave a more secure way out for herself. If there was a son, Yan Yichen would definitely give priority to the son to inherit the family property. Xu Ruyun did not want a son who was not close to Xu Ruyun to inherit most of the property. She had to let the son who was close to her inherit the family property.
"Just take it easy, please." Mother Xu said, "Others say that you are anxious to gain a foothold, so you have children so quickly. Look at Su Xueqing, she gave birth to a daughter, but she was not in a hurry to have another one."
"She doesn't need to give birth." Xu Ruyun said, "Her in-laws like daughters very much, and they also allow daughters to inherit the family property."
The two branches of the Ning family took different paths, one went into politics and the other into business.
The situation of the Yan family is different. If Yan Yichen does not do well, the illegitimate child will not be able to support the family. If Yan Yichen does well, he will have to give money to the illegitimate child to live. No one can help Yan Yichen more, and Xu Ruyun can hardly use her daughter to do anything.
"Mom, you won't talk about me in front of Su Xueqing's mother again, right?" Xu Ruyun said.
"Just a few words." Xu's mother said, "It's okay. Even if I don't say it, she knows that you gave birth to a daughter."
"Yeah, the Su family was fine. They lived so close and didn't say anything nonsense. It was some other people who said unpleasant things," said Xu Ruyun.
"The mouth is on other people's body. If they want to say something, we can't do anything about it," said Xu's mother.
This time, Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen did not hold a big full-month party for their daughter. They held a one-year-old party for their son more than a month ago, and now they are holding another full-month party. Others think they can't wait to collect money. The boy's one-year-old party was small, and last year, there were not many people who came to the full-month party. A girl's full-month party will only attract more people. It would be better to invite relatives to have a meal at home, set up two tables, and don't go to a hotel.
Xu Ruyun and her husband did not send out invitations to anyone, but simply told their relatives verbally to come to their home for dinner.
The Ning family did not send gifts to Xu Ruyun's daughter, nor did they send an invitation. They did not take the initiative to visit her. When Xu Ruyun was in confinement, no one from the Ning family went to see her. The relationship between the two families was not as good as before. When Old Lady Yan was alive, the two families could still interact with each other, but now that Old Lady Yan is gone, that is not certain.
Therefore, Yan Yichen went to the Ning family on some important festivals and gave them some simple gifts, nothing particularly expensive. If the gift exceeded a certain value, the Ning family would not accept it. Brother Ning did not want others to think that he was being bribed, so he would not accept the gift to do things.
The Ning family is already rich enough. As long as Brother Ning does not engage in corruption or bribery and does his job well, his career will be very stable.
Ning Wenjun and Ning Yuhao often play together. Ning Yuhao also tells Ning Wenjun about going to school, which makes Ning Wenjun feel that going to school is a very fun thing.
"I can go to school and study, too." Little Ning Wenjun clapped her hands and turned to look at her mother, "Mom, I want to."
"Do you know what going to school is?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Yes." Xiao Ning Wenjun said.
"You are still so young, wait until next year, next year you can go to kindergarten." Su Xueqing said, the child is still too young after all, she is not sure about such a young child going to kindergarten, "I'll ask a teacher to teach you, okay?"
"Teacher?" Little Ning Wenjun tilted her head. "What is it?"
"Going to school means learning from the teacher." Su Xueqing said, "Your little brother also learns from the teacher."
Sister-in-law Ning found a tutor for Ning Yurong, and naturally also for Ning Yuhao. Ning Yuhao had to take one day off on weekends to come and play with Ning Wenjun. Sister-in-law Ning said that if Ning Yuhao didn't do well, he wouldn't be allowed to come and play. Ning Yuhao could only study hard and ask his mother to let him out. Sister-in-law Ning often said that Ning Yuhao was different because he had a younger sister, and that the younger sister played a very important role.
"Yes, teacher, yes." Xiao Ning Wenjun said.
"Okay, I'll find one for you, I'll find one for you." Su Xueqing said, "I'll find a teacher for you, let's see how much you can learn."
Su Xueqing looked at her daughter who was curious about the world. Her daughter always wanted all kinds of things. Su Xueqing couldn't remember what she was like when she was a child, but it was roughly the same.
On a new day, Su Xueqing came back from work. She had just gotten out of the car when someone suddenly jumped out. Su Xueqing was shocked and was hugged before she could say anything.
"Long time no see, Xueqing!" This person was Ning Jiaxuan. Ning Jiaxuan had just returned from graduating abroad. As soon as she came back, she came to Su Xueqing's side.
