In order to realize her wish of having a son, Wang Mudan had to take care of her body and prepare for having a second child in addition to her busy work.
When her eldest daughter was four years old, she finally became pregnant again. Disappointingly, the second child was also a daughter. The arrival of this daughter deepened Simingda's disappointment in marriage. He publicly stated at the banquet that he must give birth to a son in this life. In order not to go against his wishes, Wang Mudan forced herself to smile in front of all the guests and agreed to continue giving birth. Her humility in front of Simingda was in sharp contrast to her image as a strong woman in the workplace. This shows how humble her family status is, and her situation can't help but make people sigh.
Marriage is a woman's second life. Loving the wrong man means embarking on a thorny road of no return. No matter how many storms lie ahead, Wang Mudan has no choice but to grit her teeth and move forward in order to avoid becoming Luo Yingtao's laughing stock. No matter whether she regrets it or is unwilling to do so, there is no turning back.
Wang Mudan's daily workload was heavy, consuming a great deal of her energy and strength. Coupled with her age, her physical condition was deteriorating, and her chances of pregnancy were slim. Seeing that her second daughter was already four years old, and she was already thirty-three, but still no signs of pregnancy, Si Mingda gradually lost his patience and revealed his trump card again: "Wang Mudan, if you can't give birth to a son, let's get a divorce. There's no point in wasting time like this. I'm already over thirty years old, and I can't be tied to you for the rest of my life. Regardless of whether you like it or not, I must have a son before I'm forty. Otherwise, what's the point of working so hard?"
Wang Mudan asked dissatisfiedly: "Isn't my daughter your child?"
"My daughter will eventually get married when she grows up. Why should we let outsiders enjoy the family business we worked so hard to build?" Si Mingda asked in dissatisfaction.
"What era is this? How can you be so feudal? Are there any differences between men and women?"
"Of course there is a difference between sons and daughters. It's not that I am feudal, it's a living reality. My daughter will get married in the future, and the son-in-law is an outsider after all. Can we expect him to take care of us in our old age and see us to the end of our lives? The answer is of course no. In this case, why should I give away the family business that I have worked hard for to outsiders? You have to think about this fact clearly. Only with a son can you have hope in life. I don't care what you think, but I must give birth to a son in this life." Simingda said without question.
Wang Mudan knew very well that he was a person who only cared about her. Once he made up his mind about something, no one could change it. After giving Wang Mudan a warrant, Si Mingda returned to his old ways and started staying out all night again. What made her heartbroken was that he began to strictly control the company's income and expenditure, as if preparing to leave this marriage.
Apart from his daughter's tuition, he stipulated that all other company expenses must be approved by him. In this way, Wang Mudan, the "boss lady", became a grasshopper in his hands and had no financial autonomy.
Although Wang Mudan seemed a little "retarded" from the fact that she took the initiative to pursue Si Mingda and even paid money to him, she was actually very smart. She just mistook Si Mingda's domineering and selfish character for "courageous and knowledgeable" masculinity. They had been together for many years, and Si Mingda's dominance completely overshadowed her shrewdness.
Like many women in society, Wang Mudan has always wanted to control Simingda's property after marriage. However, Simingda is cunning and scheming, and her wish is always difficult to fulfill. Faced with Simingda's unstable emotions, she is extremely anxious, worried that the property she has worked hard for many years will be "taken over by someone who comes later". Wouldn't she become "making wedding clothes for others"?
Since they couldn't get cash, they might as well invest in real estate. So Wang Mudan encouraged Si Mingda to buy a house, a shop, etc. They were a legal couple, and all the properties after marriage were jointly owned. As long as they bought a house, she could rightfully control the financial power.
However, what she didn't expect was that she underestimated Si Mingda's scheming and cruelty. Back when he was at K University, in order to please Luo Yingtao, he was as docile as a kitten in front of her, helping her to make hot water, applying compresses on her stomach, fighting for her, and even cutting his wrists to commit suicide. For Luo Yingtao, he was willing to give up his life.
Now in front of Wang Mudan, he is like a well-fed old wolf. He never cares about her self-esteem and always gives her orders at will. She suggests buying a house and investing in a shop, but he turns a deaf ear to it. Seeing the house prices rising day by day, Wang Mudan is anxious, but Si Mingda remains unmoved. What makes people sad is that he has been secretly planning to find another woman to give birth to a son for him.
It has to be said that men are sometimes amnesiac and servile. The better a woman treats him, the less he knows how to cherish her. But Luo Yingtao, who is trying to push him away, has firmly occupied his heart like a nail in the coffin.
Wang Mudan had long been aware of Si Mingda's sinister plot. She knew very well that if she wanted to save her marriage and avoid becoming Luo Yingtao's laughing stock, she had to find a way to give birth to a son, otherwise this humble marriage could break up at any time.
Until now, she no longer had the energy to regret. Was it right or wrong to pursue Si Mingda in the first place? The mistakes of the past were wrong, and she could no longer turn back.
For this reason, she humbly pleaded with Simingda: "If I give birth to a son, will we not have to get divorced?"
Si Mingda said without question, "Of course. I'm already this age, and I've long since lost interest in so-called love between men and women. I just want a son to give me spiritual support and someone to rely on in my old age."
"Okay, let's give it a year. If I can give birth to a son within this year, you will buy another house to prove your sincerity in wanting to stay in this family."
