The Liu family was a little bit unbelievable, as it had been so many years since Sun Fenfen last gave birth.
The couple had been thinking about having more children in the past few years, but they had never gotten pregnant. Now they are so old, how come they suddenly got pregnant again?
"Are you kidding me? Why haven't I heard you mention this before?
Don’t you two just want to stop caring about Jinbao?
How can you be so heartless? When you are old, can you not count on me, Jinbao, to wear mourning clothes for you? What is the point of counting on these girls in your family? You still need sons."
Old Mrs. Liu still didn't believe that Sun Fenfen was really pregnant.
The daughters of Liu Erhai looked at their parents with surprise.
If they had a younger brother, they would no longer have to suffer from Liu Jinbao's bullying.
He usually relies on his grandparents' pampering to order his cousins around at every turn, and sometimes even beats them with a stick when he's unhappy.
Among the Liu family, only Liu Jinbao's sisters were slightly better off, at least they had never been beaten by Liu Jinbao.
Although Liu Sihai and Xu Xiaolian like to favor their sons, their daughters were not adopted. Compared with their nieces, they are of course closer to their own daughters.
So he told Liu Jinbao that even if he wanted to bully someone, he should not bully his own sister.
Anyway, my cousins didn't dare to complain when they were bullied by Liu Jinbao.
As long as Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were in the Liu family, even Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai would not dare to blame Liu Jinbao.
Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai certainly didn't know much about these things.
Even if the little girls were bullied, they would only complain to their mother. What's the point of going to their father? They might even be accused of not giving in to their cousin.
As for Sun Fenfen and Lin Meizhi, they had told their husbands before that their daughters were bullied by Liu Jinbao, but it was of no use.
At that time, Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai both regarded Liu Jinbao as their own son and found themselves unable to listen to these words.
But now when I look at the expressions of my daughters, I just feel sad. I think about how much injustice they must have suffered at home before.
Afraid that Liu Erhai would reveal the truth, Sun Fenfen kept holding him down and stopped him from speaking, intending to handle the matter herself.
"Mom, how could I lie to you about something like this? If I can't have a baby in a few months, it will be exposed.
Mom and Dad, it’s not that we, the second uncle and second aunt, don’t love children, but we have so many children of our own, and we are going to have another big fat boy soon. We really don’t have the ability to help fourth brother’s family take care of Jinbao.
We only have Jinbao as a boy. If we have more children in the future, they will be able to keep us company. Otherwise, he will be alone and have no one to help him when he is bullied in the team."
Having been married to the Liu family for almost twenty years, she naturally knew the old couple's weaknesses, and now she could hit them with every strike.
Naturally, Old Mrs. Liu had no thoughts about a grandson who didn't even exist.
Even if Sun Fenfen really gave birth to a boy, he would be closer to her as a grandson born by her niece.
But it’s different for Mr. Liu.
He likes his grandson Liu Jinbao because he is the only grandson in the Liu family.
In his eyes, nature is perfect in every way, and he can even see shortcomings as advantages.
But if he has many grandchildren, he will naturally prefer promising ones.
After all, the ancestors in the dream said that there was a promising child among their Liu family’s grandchildren.
What if it’s not Liu Jinbao, but the one in Sun Fenfen’s belly?
As the head of the family, you naturally have to put the overall situation first and not make decisions too early.
We'll have to wait until the kids are born.
Old Master Liu thought about it and decided that he naturally couldn't let his sons live apart.
If a family in the team has a younger son, they will definitely be bullied by others, and relatives and neighbors will look down on them.
Even when you are working, others will assign you to do the early and tiring work.
Do you dare to resist? If you have a conflict with someone, and they have many brothers coming together to attack you, but you are just one of them, then you are just waiting for someone to beat you up.
So even though his sons are almost forty years old and his granddaughters are about to start their own families, Mr. Liu has never thought of letting his sons live separately.
It is the same now. There are few male grandchildren, and even if there is only one in a family, it is not a lot. Naturally, they are more powerful if they are tied together.
"Second brother, what are you thinking? After all, Jinbao is the only boy in our family so far. Even if you have a son in the future, Jinbao will still be the eldest grandson.
Anyway, I won’t agree to your separation.”
Liu Erhai and his friends brought up this matter not because they wanted to split up the family, but simply because they didn't want the family's money to be pooled together again.
They are not stupid. It is better to go out and fight alone than to live with the family at home.
Sun Fenfen glanced at Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai, and then it was their turn to speak.
After all, they are women. It’s okay for them to make decisions in their own families, but in front of their father-in-law, it’s still men who have the final say.
Liu Erhai received the look and said what they had agreed on before.
"Dad, we don't have any other ideas, we just plan not to pool our money together in the future.
You said we are so old, and we still let our mother take charge of the family. She has worked hard all her life, and now it is the next generation's turn. How can you two old people still worry about your grandchildren's affairs? "
Old Mrs. Liu's face darkened. The words sounded nice, but wasn't his real purpose to take her housekeeper rights?
If her sons each take care of their own affairs, who would listen to her, an old lady?
"No, don't even think about it. What? Your father and I are not dead yet, and now you want to live your own lives?
What's the matter? Is it because you see that your father and I are old, and the few work points we earn can't support ourselves, so you think we are a burden to the two of us?
"Pah! Even though I'm old, I can still handle you guys. Do you want the team to call you unfilial? Aren't you afraid of being drowned in spit?"
The thing that Old Lady Liu was most proud of in her life was that even at her age, the younger ones still had to listen to her.
Look at other families, those with many children just get married and move one child out.
Several daughters-in-law started to manage the household themselves as soon as they got married. They were not afraid of their mother-in-law at all. No one could be as respectable as her. Several daughters-in-law were afraid of her.
Mr. Liu didn't say anything when he fell down.
If other people's children were still living together in their thirties or forties, they would definitely ask for separation.
But his family never worried about this.
He also thought that even when he was old and gone, his children would still live together as a family, as they do now.
But now the second son's family is going to have a son, so they definitely can't get involved in the future.
This will prevent the brothers from becoming enemies in the future because of various issues concerning their children.
But asking him to decide to split the family is not an option. He can't change his mind after so many years.
Mr. Liu was tired after a day of work, but now he didn’t feel hungry at all. He felt full of energy from the day.
