Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Huang family.
Hearing what his future mother-in-law said, Jiang Feng quickly expressed his opinion: "Aunt Huang, I don't have the idea of favoring boys over girls. As long as there is a child, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. If I marry Weiwei, Weiwei will decide how many children we have."
"Bah, who wants to have a baby with you!"
Huang Lingwei blushed as she spat at him, her expression completely flirting.
Huang's mother smiled with satisfaction and said, "I believe Xiao Jiang you will also be a good man."
Jiang Feng smiled, and then talked to Huang's father about business, saying: "To predict marriage, you only need to know the other person's name and date of birth, but the prediction of offspring is more complicated, and it must be combined with the face.
If your friend, Uncle Huang, trusts me, please bring his daughter to me and I can help you figure out whether the next baby will be a son or a daughter."
Father Huang was cheered up when he heard this and said, "Then I'll call my friend right now."
…
Qin Si is 55 years old this year. As a native of Shenzhen, his family was not well off when he was young and he suffered a lot. But in the spring of 1979, after the chief designer drew a circle here, the former "small fishing village" began to take off, and his family also reaped the dividends of the times, and jumped from a poor family to a multi-millionaire.
When the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was booming, he took advantage of his status as a local and married a beautiful working girl. They then had a son and a daughter and lived a very comfortable life.
When the daughter grew up and got married, she married a very good man. The man's family owned a company and was worth over 100 million yuan. At that time, Qin Si even boasted about it in front of his friends for a while.
What they never expected was that the man's family had a very serious patriarchal mentality, and because of the issue of having children, the relationship between their daughter and her in-laws became strained.
Now, the daughter has returned to her parents' home with her three daughters out of spite, but her husband's family has turned a blind eye to the matter, and the marriage is on the verge of collapse.
If this continues, divorce is only a matter of time.
If Qin Si said he was not anxious, that would be a lie.
On this day, after his wife took the three granddaughters downstairs to play, Qin Si couldn't help but ask, "Xiaolu, what do you think? Are you still willing to live with him?"
Qin Lu had been back home for half a month, and she had obviously thought about this issue. When she saw her father asking, she took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I want a divorce."
Qin Si was not surprised to hear this and said, "Families like that regard inheritance of offspring as more important than anything else. They are not very humane. I support your divorce, but what are you going to do with your three children?"
Qin Lu said firmly: "I want all three children. Their family doesn't like girls anyway."
Qin Si was holding back his anger and said bitterly, "Then let's file for divorce. Not only do we want the three children, but we also want enough property. We can't let them get away with it."
Originally, as parents, they usually try to reconcile their children's marriages rather than divorce them. But the in-laws really went too far. The daughter went back to her parents' home in a huff, and it has been nearly half a month, but the in-laws haven't even called her once.
The other party's meaning is very clear. Either come back and continue giving birth to a son, or go somewhere else where it's cooler.
Qin Lu said calmly, "Dad, do you have any familiar lawyers? Let's ask them first to see how to handle this matter in the best interest of us."
Just as the father and daughter were about to start a detailed discussion, Qin Si's cell phone on the table rang. He glanced at it and found that it was his friend Huang Yuanjia calling, so he answered the call casually: "Boss Huang, is there another card game?"
For a long time before, they would set up a card game every now and then. They didn't play big, and each game would result in a transaction of tens of thousands of yuan. For people of their wealth, it was considered a small bet for fun.
Huang Yuanjia said, "It's not about the card game. Last time when we played cards together, didn't you mention your daughter to us? I know a master who can predict offspring based on face reading. If your daughter wants to know in advance whether the next baby is a boy or a girl, she can ask this master to predict it."
Qin Si was shocked and said, "Boss Huang, you are kidding me, right?"
Huang Yuanjia smiled and said, "I'm not kidding. The person I'm talking about is the most famous fortune teller in the country. He has tens of millions of fans online. If he didn't have that ability, I wouldn't introduce him to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Si believed them 80% of the time.
After all, among their group of friends, Huang Yuanjia is the richest one. He is a big boss who owns several buildings and collects rent. He is rare even in Shenzhen, where rich people are everywhere.
What he said was inherently credible.
Qin Si glanced at his daughter and sighed, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Huang, but my daughter has decided to divorce, so there is no need to calculate the offspring for the time being."
Qin Lu hesitated to speak.
Huang Yuanjia asked: "Brother Qin, has the issue of having a child really come to this?"
"I can't help it. The other party really went too far. My daughter was angry about this and took her three children back to her parents' home. But in the half month since she came back, she hasn't even called them once."
Qin Si couldn't help getting angry when he mentioned this, and said bitterly: "The attitude of the other party is very clear. If the marriage is not divorced, my daughter will not be able to hold her head up in front of them."
Huang Yuanjia agreed and said, "If this is the case, then there is really no point in not getting a divorce. Besides, your daughter is in good condition, there is no need for her to stay there and suffer. Just get a divorce and find a better one."
Qin Si said: "That's what I meant."
"Okay then, I won't bother you, Brother Qin!"
"Well, let's make an appointment later."
Seeing her father hang up the phone, Qin Lu couldn't help but ask, "Dad, was it Uncle Huang who called?"
Qin Si nodded and said, "Yes, I mentioned your case when I was playing cards with your Uncle Huang last time. Your Uncle Huang is also a kind-hearted person. He knows a master of fortune-telling who can help you predict whether the next baby will be a boy or a girl. Unfortunately, it is useless in your case."
Hearing this, Qin Lu's determination, which she had made with great difficulty, was almost shaken. After all, it wasn't that she didn't want to have a fourth child. The reason she didn't want to have one was that she was afraid that the fourth child would also be a daughter. Then based on the nature of her in-laws, they would probably force her to have a fifth child, which would be endless.
In the end, reason prevailed. Things had developed to this point and she had to get a divorce.
…
Huang family.
After Huang's father finished the call, he couldn't help but shake his head with regret and said, "It's a pity that a couple who were originally a perfect match ended up getting divorced because the man favored boys over girls."
Jiang Feng said: "Our Bailiang County is actually also a disaster area for the idea of favoring boys over girls. Although I live in that kind of environment, I have always sneered at this idea of favoring boys over girls.
But there are many people who hold this view, and most of them are stubborn. It is absolutely unreasonable to tell them that having a boy or a girl is the same."
Father Huang said: "Generally, the areas that favor boys over girls are those with strong clan values."
Huang's mother asked worriedly, "Xiao Jiang, you are open-minded, so we are relieved. But you said that your place is also a hard-hit area for favoring boys over girls. Do your parents have the idea of favoring boys over girls?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Huang, my parents are quite open-minded. Among the three of us, I am the one that is most favored by my parents, followed by my sister and my eldest brother.
Don’t tell me that Weiwei and I will definitely have a son. Even if we don’t, that’s okay. My parents won’t force it.”
After receiving Jiang Feng's affirmative answer, Huang's mother said with a sigh of relief: "Xiao Jiang, I feel relieved when you say that!"
…
Imperial capital.
Several banquet tables were set up in a heavily guarded place.
This was a very low-key wedding scene. The venue was decorated very simply, with only a few "囍" characters posted on it. Only a few guests were invited, and the rest were direct relatives of the two families.
The bride and groom of this wedding were none other than Jiang Guidong and Meng Qiuyue, two children of high-ranking officials.
The guests who were fortunate enough to witness this wedding were all of extraordinary status. Although they were not current leaders, they were at least "Shao Mu" level leaders before retirement.
At this time, Jiang Guidong and Meng Qiuyue, who were quite prestigious in the imperial capital, were like two puppets, being manipulated by others.
After more than three hours of agony, this torturous wedding finally ended, and the newlyweds Jiang Guidong and Meng Qiuyue were sent back to their wedding room.
Their wedding room was naturally not in this heavily guarded place, but somewhere else.
When they returned to the wedding room and there were only two of them left, Meng Qiuyue casually sat on the sofa, glanced at Jiang Guidong, and asked, "You sleep in the guest bedroom tonight, and I sleep in the master bedroom. Is there a problem?"
“There is a problem.”
"What's the problem?"
Jiang Guidong snorted, "Why do you sleep in the master bedroom while I sleep in the guest room?"
Meng Qiuyue crossed her arms and sneered, "Just because I'm a black belt in Taekwondo!"
Jiang Guidong's face darkened. This bitch was really going too far. He immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? I don't care where you sleep tonight. Anyway, I'm going to sleep in the master bedroom."
This is a dispute over sovereignty and we must not give in.
Meng Qiuyue stood up in a flash, frightening Jiang Guidong so much that he took a step back. She said with disdain, "If you don't want to meet the guests with a bruised face tomorrow, just come with me."
As she spoke, she walked leisurely towards the master bedroom, not taking Jiang Guidong seriously at all.
"Fuck, this is such a disgrace to men!"
Jiang Guidong screamed wildly in his heart, but his feet were nailed to the ground and he dared not move, because he knew that if he caught up with her, this bitch would really beat him up.
After watching Meng Qiuyue enter the master bedroom and close the door, Jiang Guidong could no longer bear it. He took out his cell phone and called Master Jiang. He said fiercely in his heart: "Meng Qiuyue, you wait for me. When Master Jiang comes out to solve the problem between us, I will lose if I don't make you call me daddy!"
