The next morning, Song Ning got up and aired out her quilts in the yard.
Then I heard a commotion outside. I looked up and saw a lot of people gathered around Liu's courtyard.
"What's wrong?"
At that moment, seeing Li Xiaoyue heading in that direction, she followed her.
Liu's mother, Sun Cuilan, was sitting in the courtyard, slapping her thigh and crying.
"Oh dear, God is blind! Another girl!"
The sound of a baby crying could be heard coming from inside the house.
People around them were talking about it.
"It seems Company Commander Liu's wife gave birth to another daughter, and his mother is unhappy about it."
"It seems that things are going to get lively at Company Commander Liu's house now."
Soon, Company Commander Liu finally arrived from the crowd.
Company Commander Liu was burly and had a decent appearance; he was 180cm tall.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on the floor throwing a tantrum. He immediately went over and helped her up, saying, "Mom, what are you doing! There are so many people watching, get up!"
But Grandma Sun wouldn't get up at all, and continued to throw a tantrum, crying and complaining, "Oh dear, when will I have a grandson?"
Seeing that her mother wouldn't get up, Company Commander Liu had no choice but to ignore her and turn to walk into the house.
Seeing his wife Wu Qianqian holding the baby in her arms, he was overjoyed. "Wife, you've worked so hard."
"Come, let me see the child."
Company Commander Liu looked at the child and immediately found him very cute.
On the contrary, Wu Qianqian was a little embarrassed, "Honey, I'm sorry to disappoint you, it's another daughter."
"So what if she's a daughter? A daughter is her father's warm little cotton-padded jacket."
"But Mother...she..."
Wu Qianqian sat on the bed, sighing repeatedly.
When I gave birth to my first child, my mother-in-law disliked that it was a girl and refused to come and help me during my postpartum period.
She raised the child single-handedly, without even having time for postpartum confinement.
This time, when she was pregnant with her second child, everyone said it was a boy, based on her pregnancy symptoms. That's why her mother-in-law came all the way from far away, saying she wanted to see her grandson.
Now it's another daughter, and I don't know what the future holds.
It's worrying just thinking about it.
"Don't worry about Mom, I'll talk to her."
After saying that, Company Commander Liu walked into the courtyard and went up to his mother, saying, "Mother, please get up. Qianqian is still in her postpartum period and needs a lot of help."
As a result, Granny Sun yelled, "I won't get up, and I won't help! She won't even give me a grandson, why should I serve her? Bah!"
Immediately, everyone around looked at each other in bewilderment.
Company Commander Liu felt very embarrassed. "Mom, if you keep making a scene, you should go back to the countryside."
He was a little angry, but he couldn't do anything about his mother. After all, his father had passed away when he was very young, and his mother had raised him alone.
As a result, Aunt Sun started making a scene again, "I'm not going back to the countryside! Why are you all living the high life here while I have to go back? Do you know how hard it was for me to raise you from childhood? I'm going to stay here with the army!"
"Mom, if you want to stay here, you can't cause trouble for Qianqian. Otherwise, you can go back to your hometown!"
Seeing this, Song Ning immediately stepped forward to persuade her, "Aunt Sun, you should listen to Company Commander Liu and take good care of yourself during your postpartum period."
As it turned out, Jiang Feifei was also among the onlookers at that moment.
Upon hearing this, she retorted sarcastically, "Song Ning, why are you meddling in other people's family affairs?"
Song Ning rolled her eyes at her, ignored her, and went forward to help Grandma Sun up. At the same time, she whispered in her ear, "Grandma, so many people are watching. You don't care about your reputation, but you can't disregard your son's reputation either."
Looking at her, Aunt Sun suddenly remembered that this girl was the one who had brought her to the family compound that day. She felt as if she had found a savior and cried out, "Girl, all I want is a grandson, what's wrong with that?"
Song Ning frowned; she knew that in that era, there was a strong preference for sons over daughters.
“Auntie, men and women are equal. It’s good to have a boy or a girl. Aren’t you a woman too? If we women don’t value ourselves, how can we expect others to value us?”
"I don't care, I just want a grandson." The old woman persisted.
"Then you should stay here and take good care of your daughter-in-law, make sure she gets well so she can give you a grandson next time, don't you think?"
“This…” Aunt Sun suddenly realized that there was some truth to it.
Company Commander Liu pressed his advantage, saying, "That's right, Mom. Take good care of Qianqian and get her health back. Then we can have more children. If we have a few more, we're bound to have a boy."
Only then did Aunt Sun agree, "Alright then."
Song Ning immediately waved to everyone and said to the surrounding crowd, "Alright, everyone, disperse."
At that moment, as Song Ning waved her hand...
Jiang Feifei's gaze fell on Song Ning's thumb.
Sure enough, it was a green jade thumb ring.
It's the same as the jade thumb ring portrait that her great-grandfather showed her back then.
Song Ning must have been able to suddenly disappear from one space and reappear in another because of that jade ring.
No, she had to find a chance to steal that jade thumb ring.
When Song Ning got home, Jiang Feifei stopped her.
"What are you planning to do now?"
Song Ning instinctively kept her distance.
This time, Jiang Feifei acted out of character, saying, "Song Ning, I misunderstood you a lot before. I realize I was wrong, and I want to apologize. Do you think we can make up?"
Song Ning chuckled, watching her big, mischievous eyes darting around, wondering what she was up to.
