Chapter 23: Yang is strong and Yin is weak
Chapter 23
After finishing this topic, Lu Songyun couldn't help but bring up the incident when she and Zhao Yutan fell into the water at Prince Gong's Mansion. "Why did such a big twist happen at this critical moment?"
"I can't help it. Zhao Yutan had a plan, but I was caught off guard. But Dad has already helped me vent my anger."
"I heard that Dad is still very capable." Lu Songyun asked her again, "What is the attitude of the Xie family?"
"Oh, my dear sister, you are still in confinement after childbirth. Why do you worry so much? My parents and I will definitely take care of it." She couldn't help much after she said it, and it would only add to someone else's worries.
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it. But Ali, you seem to have changed a lot in a while."
"Really? Have you become more beautiful again?" Lu Songli held her chin with both hands, and said with a hint of distress, "Oh, if she becomes more beautiful, what should I do?"
Lu Songyun was made to laugh by her provocative expression and words, but when she laughed, it hurt down there, and she immediately begged for mercy, "Stop, stop, don't make me laugh again."
Lu Songli raised his hands in surrender.
Just then, the baby in her arms burped, and Lu Songyun called her, "Come and see your little nephew."
When Lu Songli came over, her sister wanted her to hug her little nephew, so she quickly dodged.
That speed was like dodging a time bomb. Her sister even laughed at her for being so cowardly.
Let her laugh if she wants to. The baby is less than a month old and too soft. She doesn’t dare to hold the baby in her arms. She can only go over and take a look.
"Sister, is my nephew's head a little tilted?" She guaranteed with her 5.0 eyesight that she was definitely not mistaken.
"Haha, I did this on purpose. The old people say that people with flat heads are blessed."
No, no, she can't accept it. She still likes the round back of her head.
"Sister, I heard that babies shouldn't be held too often, otherwise they'll become clingy and won't let go even when they sleep."
"I know. This child is seldom held anymore. Your eldest nephew was held more often. Your brother-in-law loved him so much at that time that he often held him and was reluctant to let him go." Lu Songyun said as she put the sleeping child in her arms aside.
Tsk, it’s not a big deal now that you have so many children.
"When you were pregnant with your third child, your brother-in-law and the rest of the family were hoping it would be a girl, but we didn't expect it would be a boy."
"Isn't it good to have many sons?" Didn't people in ancient times believe that having many children meant more blessings?
"Sons are good, but they are too many, do you understand?" Sister Lu said with a worried look on her face.
I understand. Scarcity makes things valuable. Having too many sons makes them worthless. Lu Songli's eyes fell on the sleeping baby's face. Poor little nephew.
"It's not just me who's looking forward to having a daughter. My mother-in-law has been hoping for me to give her a granddaughter since I came home. Now she gets annoyed by the sight of a grandson."
Lu Songli thought of the young men who had lined up to welcome her. Indeed, eight grandchildren was one more than the number of gourd brothers hanging on a vine. The Xu family's yang was strong, but their yin was weak. It was confirmed.
Mrs. Xu's daughter had a boyish appearance, while Mr. Xu was handsome. They say a daughter resembles her father, and a son resembles his mother. Mrs. Xu firmly believed this, and so, after getting married, she wanted a daughter. Later, she gave birth to three sons who looked like her.
After the three sons got married, they all had sons. They already have eight grandsons, but no granddaughters.
Ever since she married into the Xu family, her in-laws had hoped she would give birth to a sweet and tender little girl. After her arrival, the sisters-in-law were relieved and treated her very kindly, probably thinking they finally had someone to share the burden. But she later gave birth to three children, all sons, disappointing everyone's expectations.
"Little sister, you say, our mother has given birth to two daughters for us, and I don't want more. Just one will be enough."
Lu Songli thought to herself that she was so eager to have a daughter that her eyes had turned green.
"You said, I just want a daughter, why is it so difficult?" She just wanted a delicate and soft little girl.
Lu Songli thought to herself, I’m just worried that the quilt will leak air. Are there not many quilted jackets that leak air in the future?
Lu Songli comforted her, "A son is not bad either. How can you favor girls over boys? Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all good children if they are raised well."
Lu Songyun rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you like it? Do you want me to give it to you?"
"I do want it, but only if I take the baby home and my parents don't beat us to death." Lu Songli said with his hands spread out.
Lu Songyun shut up.
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it to heart. Neither of the two sisters noticed that the little person who sneaked in sneaked out again.
Seeing her elder sister so worried, Lu Songli casually gave an idea, "If you can't do it, just adopt one." There are many people abandoning baby girls nowadays. If her elder sister adopts an abandoned baby, it would be like saving a little life.
After hearing what she said, her elder sister fell into deep thought, as if there really was a way.
After drinking too much tea, Lu Songli took the time to go to the toilet. She never expected that her elder sister would adopt her unconventional suggestion.
When I came out of the toilet, I saw a little man wandering around the corner.
"Aunt, come here, come here." Four-year-old nephew Xu Sheng waved at her.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to whisper something, Lu Songli found it a bit amusing, so she pretended to look around, then trotted towards him with her back bent.
"Aunt, do you like your younger brother?" Sheng Ge'er asked her in a low voice.
"I like it." They are all little nephews, she likes them all equally, she treats them all equally and is not partial to anyone!
Sheng Ge'er waved his hand and said generously, "Then aunt, you can take my brother away. I'll give him to you."
After hearing this, Lu Songli was shocked, "Brother Sheng, don't you like your younger brother?" You little bastard, does your mother know that your butt is going to be beaten to a pulp?
"I like it too, but if it was a younger sister, I would like it even more."
So that's what she meant. Lu Songli touched his head and said, "But Sheng'er, you can't give your brother away. Otherwise, he will be sad when he grows up and finds out."
"Brother Sheng understands." Brother Sheng nodded obediently.
Lu Songli discovered that Sheng Ge'er was a little precocious. He was only a little over five years old, but he could speak very cleverly.
"Aunt, my mother can't give birth to a sister. I don't have a sister." Xu Sheng found a stone block to sit on, his chubby face supported by his two small hands, and he told his aunt about his troubles, his whole face wrinkled with worry. Is it so difficult for him to have a sister? They are all stinky brothers, alas.
Tsk, this family is crazy about having a girl. They're obsessed.
But why is the little nephew so cute? Lu Songli sat down next to him, squeezing on a stone block with him, and Sheng Ge'er even moved his little butt to the side.
Lu Songli counseled him, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a younger sister, you can give birth to one in the future. It's not a good idea to rely on others, being self-reliant is the way to go." Stand up!
"Yes, my parents are unreliable!" Sheng Ge'er clenched his fists, "I want to give birth to a baby myself, no, two!" In fact, Sheng Ge'er didn't understand some of what his aunt said, such as the phrase "be self-reliant", but he understood the general meaning by guessing.
Lu Songli didn't know that because of her irresponsible suggestion, after she left, Sheng Ge'er wanted to have a daughter. After the elders told him that it was impossible to have a boy, he wanted to get married and have his wife give birth to a daughter. The elders were tired, and this naughty kid was finally violently suppressed by his mother.
Just then, the sound of a child crying was heard from the front yard.
"Wow, grandma, mom, come here quickly!"
At first, Lu Songli didn't take the crying seriously. She just thought it was a fight between children. Old Man Xu, Old Lady Xu, Second Sister Xu and others were all in the front yard. It was not her turn as a guest to meddle in other people's business.
Until Old Lady Xu ran to the backyard and found her, she asked her anxiously, "Aunt, can I borrow your carriage?"
Lu Songli was anxious to help others, so without asking the reason, he gave orders loudly, "Mo Bing, Mo Bing, quickly ask Uncle Liu to harness the carriage!" After giving the order, he asked Mrs. Xu what happened?
"Thank you, thank you. Haohao is in trouble. He has a peanut stuck in his throat. He needs to be rushed to the hospital for help."
