Upon hearing this, Ning Tang was furious.

She vaguely remembered that one of her parents had dwarfism, so the child's chance of getting the disease was 50%.

If a child of a dwarfism patient inherits the dwarfism gene, even if he appears to be a normal person, if he marries and has children, the children born to him may still be dwarfs.

Sun Minghui said that his parents took Sun Xinan to the hospital, and the doctor must have told their family about the situation.

Or maybe the doctor's level is not good enough and he never mentioned it. But judging from Sun Minghui's gleaming eyes, Ning Tang felt that it was most likely the first one?

In the Sun family, Sun Xinan is the third child, followed by the fourth child, Sun Ting, and the fifth child, Sun Minghui.

What does this prove? It proves that Sun Minghui's father knew clearly that he had dwarfism and would pass it on to his offspring, yet he still continued to have children.

According to the 50% probability, there will be only one person with dwarfism in Sun's family. This is really lucky!

As for what Sun Minghui said about the children he and Zhao Qing had? It is impossible that all of them are as short as his third sister.

It is nothing but empty talk, vicious empty talk at that.

Even though he looks normal in height, he may have the gene for dwarfism. What if he really marries Zhao Qing and has children? Will Zhao Qing be as lucky as Sun Minghui's mother, who only has one child out of five?

What if everyone gets the lucky number? We won’t be able to survive this day!

Luo's wife obviously thought the same thing as Ning Tang, her face turned pale, "Well, what if it's really such an unlucky thing that the child is as short as your father and your third sister? What should we do? How can we get married and find a job in the future?"

Zhao Qing really wanted to stand on Sun Minghui's side and speak for him.

But the image of Sun Minghui's father, Sun Xinan, kept flashing through her mind. When she thought about giving birth to a child like that in the future, she felt dizzy.

"Auntie, didn't my dad marry my mom?" Sun Minghui said nonchalantly, "You really think too much. There are so many people on the street who are not tall enough. How can they not find a partner?"

Ning Tang said, "I'm telling you clearly, your father and your sister are not short, they are sick."

Sun Minghui opened his mouth to retort, but Ning Tang silenced him with a word, "Whether he is really sick or not, your family knows it in their hearts." She glanced at Sun Minghui's hands and feet and said, "How can someone be short? Even his hands and feet are 'short' together."

Ning Tang didn't want to waste time talking to him anymore. She felt disgusted if she said even one more word to this family.

No matter what Sun Minghui's purpose was in dating Zhao Qing, it was wrong for him to hide his family's illness.

He knew that if he had a child, he might inherit dwarfism, but he still chose to continue dating Zhao Qing, which shows that he is bad.

If he really doesn't know, then he is stupid.

It is more likely that he is bad and stupid. Such a person and such a family are absolutely not suitable for marriage!

Ning Tang said, "Sister-in-law? Let's go."

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, pulled Zhao Qing, who was already in a trance, and headed straight for the port, ignoring Sun Minghui's calls to stay.

While we were on the boat, Mrs. Luo had a gloomy face the whole time.

Zhao Qing called her softly, "Mom."

"Don't call me mom." Mrs. Luo said with a dark face, "You are going to marry Sun Minghui and marry into his family, so you don't have to recognize me as your mom in the future."

Zhao Qing muttered, "His family members are not very nice, but he is a very motivated person and treats me very well."

"Unless you can promise that you and Sun Minghui will never see his family for the rest of your life, can you hide away?" asked Mrs. Luo.

She frowned, "Besides, he, his family is sick, how dare you marry him."

She didn't know whether to say that Zhao Qing was fearless because she was ignorant, or to praise her for being fearless like a newborn ox or a calf.

Zhao Qing didn't take it seriously and said, "That was just what Aunt Ning said casually. She just wanted to scare me and stop me from marrying Minghui."

Ning Tang snorted, "If I scare you, then Sun Minghui's father and his third sister will scare you too? Living examples? They are right there."

Zhao Qing said, "But, although Minghui is a little short, he is not like his father. We are two normal people, is it possible that we can't give birth to a normal child?"

Ning Tang didn't know how to explain to her what it meant to carry a disease-causing gene, so she simply said, "If you don't believe me, just ask your mother to take you to the hospital and ask the doctor. What the doctor says can't be wrong, right?"

I also thought that some doctors these days might not be qualified enough or have not received further education, and they might not know about dwarfism, because even in later generations, it is not widely known. "It is best to go to a big hospital and ask an experienced doctor, or a doctor who has studied abroad."

Seeing Ning Tang's confident look, Zhao Qing began to get a little scared, but still said stubbornly, "Let's go."

It is understandable that she is unaware of the harmfulness of genetic diseases.

People are simple-minded these days, and since knowledge about genetic diseases is not yet widespread, it is normal that people don't know about it.

Fortunately, Ningtang went with him, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark.

When Zhao Qing gave birth to the child and found out that she had accidentally won the prize, she would regret it deeply.

Mrs. Luo said, "Putting this aside, their family is a hole. Tell me, what is there about their family that is worth marrying into?"

She counted on her fingers, "Not to mention the lack of betrothal gifts and wedding banquet, but you've seen the house at Sun's house. If you marry in, you'll have to live in a house like that. Are you willing?"

Zhao Qing curled her lips and said, "Why not just build another room?"

Ning Tang smiled and held out his hand, palm facing up. "Where did you get the money? Your salary is spent every month. Sun Minghui can't make much money in a month, and he still has to pay for his parents' medicine and medical treatment."

She said, "Sun Minghui's father walks with a limp. I don't think he has any leg problems. If he wants to cure it, it will probably cost a lot of money. And Sun Minghui's mother, when I went to his house just now, I found that she was secretly taking medicine without anyone's knowledge."

Mrs. Luo said, "Don't mention that Sun Minghui's salary has to subsidize his parents and buy medicine for their medical treatment. Your salary may also have to fill the hole in their family."

Zhao Qing thought, "I don't have money, but Dad does. You just need to pay for us to build a house. Oh, and you can also pay for Minghui's parents' medical treatment. After all, we'll be a family in the future, so there's no need to be so calculating."

She is the only daughter in the family and she assumes that everything in the family belongs to her.

But has she ever thought that she herself has to go to fill the hole in the Sun family, not on behalf of Sister Luo and Political Commissar Zhao?

Ning Tang said, "Your parents' money is not your money. If you want to spend your parents' money, you can, but you have to find a son-in-law that they are satisfied with. Otherwise, why should they pay for an unhappy son-in-law or unhappy in-laws?"

Zhao Qing opened her mouth but couldn't refute, so she changed the subject, "You keep saying that Minghui's family is bad, isn't it just that he has some flaws in appearance, and his family conditions aren't that good, but he's very warm to us, Minghui's mother, his third sister, and his fourth sister even cooked a table of delicious food to entertain us, why don't you say that?"

She muttered, "Isn't this just picking up the bowl to eat, and putting down the bowl to curse your mother?"

Ning Tang chuckled, "If I hadn't given you face, I would have cursed you even if I had picked up the bowl. You haven't married into their family yet, so of course they want to treat you well and be affectionate to you in order to coax you into their family. Wait until you really marry into their family, and then you'll see."

Mrs. Luo also said earnestly, "Did you hear Xiao Ning ask Sun Minghui's mother at the dinner table just now if you were pregnant and wanted to go to the hospital for childbirth? What did his mother say? She said no, she would deliver the baby, would you like that?"

Zhao Qing said, "…Minghui's mother has no say in this matter. I'll talk to Minghui when I get pregnant. Minghui listens to me so much, so he will definitely agree to let me go to the hospital to give birth."

Ning Tang sighed, "Qingqing, you still don't understand what your mother wants to say. What your mother wants to say is that from this incident, we can see his family's attitude towards hospitals. What did Sun Minghui's mother say? She said, 'Hospitals are all scams.' After she said this, no one in his family refuted it."

She paused, then continued, "What does it mean? It means that everyone in their family thinks the same way. They think hospitals are a rip-off. They refuse to go to the hospital for minor illnesses and have to wait until they develop a serious illness."

It's simply stupid and ignorant!

Ning Tang seriously suspected that Sun Minghui's father and mother's illnesses were "dragged out" in this way.

Zhao Qing had attended high school after all, so of course she knew that if someone was sick they had to go to the hospital. She didn't think much of what Sun Minghui's mother said at first, but now that Ning Tang pointed it out to her, she realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Ning Tang saw Zhao Qing's expression and knew that she had listened to him, so he gave her a strong prescription, "They didn't even let you go to the hospital when you were pregnant, which means that you are not allowed to see a doctor no matter what illness you have while you are in their house."

Mrs. Luo threatened her, "Do you remember when you were in junior high school, you fell from a tree and got a long scar on your hand? I took you to the hospital and took medicine, but you still cried in pain every day. What if you accidentally got hurt like that at Sun's house, and your mother didn't let you go to the hospital and made you endure it? How many days do you think you can endure it?"

Zhao Qing shuddered, and his hand unconsciously reached for her injured arm.

Ning Tang said, "There is one more thing you haven't discovered."

Zhao Qing was stunned: "What?"

Ning Tang counted on her fingers, "Sun Minghui said that there are five children in his family, right? He is the youngest one."

Zhao Qing nodded, "Yes, is there any problem with that?" She glanced at Ning Tang, "Aunt Ning, are you worried that the burden on their family is too great? But Minghui is the only son in their family? His eldest sister and second sister are married, and there are only three and four sisters left in the family. These two sisters will also be married sooner or later."

This silly girl hasn't reacted yet. Luo Saozi is older and has seen more than Zhao Qing. As soon as Ning Tang touched her, she reacted, took a breath of cool air, and slapped Zhao Qing hard, "Silly girl, can't you see this? His family wants a boy, not a girl!"

It is commonly known as favoring sons over daughters.

Zhao Qing didn't react yet, "Mom, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Ning Tang simply pointed it out to her, "What it means is that their family favors boys over girls. If you get pregnant and have children in the future, you must only give birth to boys."

Zhao Qing frowned and said, "No way..."

"Of course not." Mrs. Luo said, "With his family's financial situation, how could he afford to raise several children? If he didn't really want a boy to carry on the family line, why would he keep giving birth until he had a boy?" And this was even when he knew that she was sick.

Ning Tang said, "Unless you can guarantee that you can get a boy in one go, otherwise you will have to be like Sun Minghui's mother, giving birth to four daughters first and stopping when you give birth to a boy."

Zhao Qing stopped talking. She suddenly remembered that when she was dating Sun Minghui, he kept talking about what would happen if he had a son in the future, but never mentioned a daughter.

No, it was also mentioned that once, Zhao Qing asked Sun Minghui, if she gave birth to a daughter, what kind of beautiful skirt would she make for her daughter? Sun Minghui was very surprised and said, why make a beautiful skirt? It is enough to just give a daughter food to eat, why save the money for raising a boy.

Ning Tang said, "If you really have a daughter with him, you have a ready-made example right in front of you. Sun Xinan and Sun Ting do all the housework at home. Have you seen Sun Ting's hands? They are rougher than your mother's hands. They don't look like the hands of a young girl. How much work must she have done? Do you want your daughter to be like them in the future?"

When Zhao Qing thought of this possibility, his face turned cold.

At home, she was almost spoiled to death by Political Commissar Zhao and Mrs. Luo. She couldn't imagine what kind of life Sun Xinan and Sun Ting were leading. But fortunately, she went to Sun's house and was able to get a glimpse of it.

Ning Tang saw that there was something going on, and quickly continued, "Let me tell you, what kind of life will you live after you marry Sun Minghui? First of all, there will be no betrothal gifts, no wedding banquet, and you will just roll up the roof and live in his thatched cottage. You're lucky that his two sisters haven't married yet, so you can enjoy a few more years of happiness."

She snorted, "You're unlucky. His two sisters got married right after you got married. His mother's health isn't good either. She can't do any housework, so all the housework falls on you."

She glanced at Zhao Qing and said, "Don't think I'm scaring you. What I said is very likely to happen. Why? Because his two sisters are going to get married and use the money from the betrothal gifts to support their brother. Although you don't want the betrothal gifts and don't hold a wedding banquet, you still have to have a baby, right? Having a baby and raising a baby costs money, right? Where does this money come from? It's from his two sisters."

Ning Tang continued, "What are you talking about? You are talking about doing housework. You have to work during the day and come home to do housework at night, cooking and washing clothes. His parents are not in good health, so who will take care of them? It will be you, the daughter-in-law, who will take care of them."

"Another unfortunate thing is that you got pregnant right after you got married. You had to work and take care of the elderly while carrying a big belly. Sun Minghui would be like a hands-off shopkeeper. No matter how nice he said before the marriage, his mission was completed by marrying you into the family. The rest is your business."

Zhao Qing listened to Ning Tang silently, and a picture began to emerge in his mind.

There was no betrothal gift, no wedding banquet, and no congratulations from relatives and friends. She just carried a small bag and married into her grandson's family. She had a meal with her grandson's family, and the wedding was considered a success.

After marriage, she became pregnant. After a busy day at work, she came home at night with a big belly and cooked with the earthen stove at her grandson's house. The firewood made her face covered with soot. She fumbled for a long time but the rice was not cooked. At this time, Sun Minghui's father called out from the bed, and she had to run over to turn him over and wipe his hands and feet.

Sun Minghui's mother complains about her because she can't cook well and can't take care of Sun Minghui's father. She can't do this or that well. It's really a waste to marry this daughter-in-law. No wonder she doesn't want a dowry. It turns out that cheap things get the worst of everything.

After much hard work, she finally gave birth to a child. Sun Minghui's mother delivered the baby at home. After a day and a night, the baby was a daughter. When Sun Minghui's father saw that it was a daughter, he turned around and left without saying a word. Sun Minghui's mother sat on the ground and cried, saying that the daughter she had given birth to with great difficulty was a loss of money. Sun Minghui also had a disappointed expression on his face.

Then, in order to have a son, she repeated the above steps over and over again.

The more Zhao Qing listened, the paler his face became, and his heart sank little by little, as if falling into an ice cellar.

In her mind, there was Sun Minghui's gentle and considerate face, and how attentively he picked fish bones for her. Then, there was her standing in front of the stove at Sun's house cooking with her big belly, and Sun Minghui's mother scolding her in her ears. Then, there was her giving birth on the broken wooden bed at Sun's house, and Sun Minghui's mother scolding her for giving birth to a loser. Sun Minghui also looked disappointed in her.

Zhao Qing's throat felt cold, and the words she spoke were so weak and feeble. She forced a smile and said, "Aunt Ning, how can you scare me?"

An idea suddenly occurred to her, "Oh yeah, my dad will give me money to support me, and my mom will come to help me, right? They won't stand to see me living such a miserable life."

She cast a hopeful look at Luo's wife, "Mom, you definitely can't bear to see me doing this and that for the Sun family and having a child alone."

Ning Tang quickly winked at Luo Saozi, who understood, "Your father and I are old, and we can't help you much. My waist has been in trouble for two years. It hurts when it's windy or rainy, and I can't do heavy work. But I kept it a secret. You forget it."

Mrs. Luo paused, then continued, "That's why we hope you can find a good family. We don't have to be rich, but at least you can marry into a good family. Your in-laws should be well-educated, considerate, and not as ignorant as your grandsons who are so burdensome."

Zhao Qing remained silent, her fingers on her knees trembling slightly.

The boat arrived, Ning Tang said, "By the way, sister-in-law, don't forget to take Qingqing to the hospital to consult a doctor to see if Sun Minghui's father and sister's illness will be passed on to the next generation."

All has been said and explained thoroughly. The rest can only be understood by Zhao Qing himself.

If she still can't turn around, then the scenes Ning Tang described before are very likely to actually happen to her.

She chose her own path, whether it's a good life or a bad one has nothing to do with others.

Mrs. Luo nodded gratefully to Ning Tang, "Xiao Ning, thank you so much."

Ning Tang waved his hands and said, "You're welcome, sister-in-law."

The Sun family is a hole. Sun Minghui himself is not that outstanding, but he is quite cunning. The Sun family members have genetic diseases. It is unknown what diseases Sun Minghui's father and mother have and they need to take medicine. The family conditions are not good and they favor boys over girls.

Who would think of any of the above? Any normal girl would run away. Only Zhao Qing was stupid. She had been dating her boyfriend for two or three years, but she still didn't understand the situation of the Sun family. She thought Sun Minghui was a trustworthy partner and that all the Sun family members were good people.

They went to Sun's home early in the morning and had lunch there. Now it was already dark when they returned to the island.

When Ning Tang returned home, Shen Lie was cooking in the kitchen, and Da Wa and the other two were reading in the room.

As soon as they saw Ning Tang coming back, the three kids put down their books and rushed over to him.

Sanwa pouted and said, "Mom, where have you been? You haven't been seen all day."

Ning Tang said to him casually, "I'm going out with your sister-in-law Luo to eat something delicious, so I won't take you with me."

Sanwa was not angry. He held Ningtang's hand and smiled, "Then take me with you next time." He covered his mouth and said, "Let's eat secretly. I promise not to tell anyone."

Ning Tang was happy and pinched his little face.

When the meal was served, Shen Lie asked the same question, "Where did you go today? You were nowhere to be seen the whole day."

Ning Tang glanced at the three children, all looking at her eagerly.

I decided not to avoid them and just gave them a reminder so that they would remember it. So I told them what happened today.

The eldest child opened his mouth, holding the chopsticks in his hand, and forgot about eating. "Mom, what is a dwarf? Are there really people who can't grow tall?"

Ning Tang described the appearance of Sun Minghui's father and Sun Xinan to them, "... their height is about 1.1 to 1.2 meters, with an adult face, but their hands and feet are very small, just like a child's."

Shen Lie and three children? I tried to imagine it, but I couldn't imagine it. After all, an adult's face on a child's body? It seems inconsistent no matter how I think about it.

Ning Tang continued, "This is a disease. If you see someone like this on the street in the future, don't discriminate against them. Just treat them as normal people."

Some dwarfism patients are smarter than normal people. Perhaps they have known their defects early on and work harder than ordinary people. Such people are worthy of admiration.

"So, if you guys are dating someone in the future, it's best to go to their homes and take a look. Don't be like your sister Qingqing, who knows nothing when asked." Ning Tang said, "By the way, if you plan to get married in the future, you have to do a premarital medical examination."

Erniu asked, "Mom, what is a premarital checkup?"

"Just go to the hospital for a checkup before marriage," Ning Tang said, "to see if the other person carries any genetic disease genes. Genetic disease genes cannot be seen on the surface, but when you give birth to a child, the child may suffer from this genetic disease. Not only should you let your partner get checked, you should also get checked. Don't let others harm you, and don't harm others."

By the time the eldest son and his third child got married, it was probably after the millennium, and they should have had a premarital examination.

Shen Lie said while eating, "So, you and Mrs. Luo accompanied Zhao Qing to the Sun family and found so many problems. Is this silly girl still going to marry Sun Minghui?"

Ning Tang shook his head, "I don't know, it's hard to say."

A woman whose eyes are blinded by love is difficult to be persuaded by others, and it is very likely that what others say will go in one ear and out the other.

Even if you put what will happen in the future in front of her, she will choose to turn a blind eye to it, and will think that you are overthinking it and that it is not for her good. After all, she has never really experienced it and cannot even imagine it.

Ning Tang thought of Zhao Qing's 'deep affection' and the way Sun Minghui treated her elder and younger brother, and felt as if she had eaten a fly. "If it weren't for my good relationship with Luo Saozi, and Luo Saozi being nice to Da Wa and the other three, I wouldn't want to get involved in that silly girl's business. She won't listen to anything I say, so I should let her bang her head against the wall. She'll behave herself only after her head is broken and bleeding."

Shen Lie sighed, "What if Zhao Qing really married Sun Minghui, and then, as you said, her life was not good, and she gave birth to a child with dwarfism, then she would definitely get divorced and go home to cry."

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it. Our family is not far from the Zhao family. I don't want to see all this hustle and bustle."

The eldest child was not afraid of the excitement and smiled, "Then come to our school to cry. I love to see this kind of excitement."
