Li Shiyue's face was full of disapproval; she genuinely felt that Li Xiatian had made a mistake.
If you truly think highly of Jiang Huai, then don't bring up the issue of "marrying into the family."
Li Shiyue knew human nature and made Jiang Huai agree to "marry into" her family by offering that "the second child born in the future can take Jiang Huai's surname."
Previously, when Li Shiyue led a group to Jiangjia Village to deliver New Year's gifts, Jiang Huai felt that he could not accept such a generous gift. So he told Li Shiyue that he was actually working as a spy for Jiang Huijun. From this, it can be seen that Jiang Huai is still a person with a conscience.
But who can predict the future?
Today I feel love and joy for you, but tomorrow I might only feel hatred and resentment!
Li Shiyue picked up the teacup on the table with some annoyance, took a sip, and put it down. She looked at Li Xiatian, who was sitting there with her head down and her neck hunched, and asked, "Sister, what will you do if you can't give birth to a second son in the future?"
Li Xiatian looked up at Li Shiyue and said directly, "If we can't have children, then we won't."
Upon hearing Li Xiatian's words, Li Shiyue couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead, thinking to herself, "I've never seen my older sister so stupid before!"
Is it really true that some women become stupid when they're around men?
Li Xiatian naturally didn't think she was wrong, but she could tell that Li Shiyue was definitely dissatisfied with her answer.
Li Shiyue was truly speechless at Li Xiatian's words.
Seeing the depressed look on Li Shiyue's face, Li's mother sighed, stood up, and sat down next to Li Xiatian.
"aunt?"
Li's mother responded, gently patted the back of Li Xiatian's hand, and then slowly spoke to Li Xiatian.
"Summer, let me tell you about something that happened to me."
"Your brother isn't very good," Mother Li pointed to her head and then tapped Stone, who was sitting quietly eating fruit beside her. "But Stone is flesh of my flesh. If I don't want him, how can he live in this world?"
In October, her father didn't want Shitou anymore, because he thought Shitou was stupid;
He even complained that October was a girl and couldn't carry on the Li family line.
I was young then. At first, he coaxed and begged me to have another baby with him, to have a son so that he could carry on the family line.
Summer, I've only ever said this to October, and your mother knows that too. I'll say it to you again today.
Even though her father said that in October, I don't want to have any more children with him.
I know that Shitou alone is enough for me to take care of for most of my life. If I can take care of her brother for one day every ten months, that will be a blessing for Shitou.
At the time, I thought that if I got married in October, I would take care of Stone as long as I could live, and if I died, I would take Stone with me.
I can't have another child and burden that child with taking care of Stone for the rest of their life.
But in October, her father desperately wanted a son; he was obsessed with it.
At first, he spoke kindly to me, and I responded to him outwardly, but secretly, I took advantage of the opportunity to go to the county town to buy contraceptives.
That stuff is bad, it's bad for a woman's menstrual flow, but I really don't want children anymore, so I have to drink this medicine even though it's bad.
It was also because I had the skills of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner that the whole family never imagined I would secretly drink contraceptive medicine, which allowed me to succeed.
Three to five years later, in October, her father discovered that my belly had stopped growing and he was heartbroken.
He started making veiled insults in front of me, saying that I couldn't have children and that I was hindering the continuation of his Li family line.
Later, he pointed his finger at me and called me a barren hen. As if remembering something, Li's mother suddenly laughed.
"Haha, once he even slapped me twice across the face, which made me so angry that I put drugs in his tea, causing him to have diarrhea for three days and three nights."
Li Shiyue raised her head and glared at her mother's words. Her mother had never mentioned this to her before.
"Mother?"
"It's nothing, it's all in the past."
Li's mother waved her hand at Li Shiyue and then continued, "After that, whenever he came back from studying in the county, I could smell the scent of perfume on his clothes every time I washed them."
At that moment, I knew he must have gone to a brothel.
Of course, he frequented brothels not because he wanted to have children; he was simply unable to control his desires.
At this point, Li's mother's expression turned serious. She took Li Xiatian's hand and said, "Xiatian, once you're married, you won't be able to control your own pregnancy anymore."
Just like what October said, what will you do if you can't give birth to a second boy in the future?
Yes, it's possible to choose not to have children.
But since you agreed to let Mr. Jiang have a baby boy with his surname, won't he be disappointed?
How can the two of you possibly continue living together?
When couples have disagreements, summer days truly feel like an eternity.
At that time, would you have given birth to one child after another, just to be worthy of Mr. Chiang and to have children?
Childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman. I have delivered so many babies, and I have seen women die in childbirth!
When I was young, I apprenticed under my master. Back then, I even went to the prefectural city with him. In the backyards of those wealthy and powerful families, there were countless women who ruined their bodies in their quest for children!
Seeing Li Xiatian's brows furrow, Li's mother knew that she was really thinking about this matter, so she continued, "Good, you are lucky to have a son in one go, and you gave birth to two boys smoothly."
But as October said, these are perfectly good brothers from the same father and mother, but just because you wanted to make sure Mr. Chiang married into the family, you insisted on giving them different surnames.
At the same time, we must treat that boy surnamed Jiang differently in the summer!
"Well, now that you're glaring at me!"
Li Qiutian, who had remained silent the whole time, saw Li Xiatian hear her mother say, "...discriminatory treatment!"
When Li Xiatian's eyes widened, Li Qiutian's anger surged!
The two "slaps" were the sound of Li Qiutian, who was really angry, slapping Li Xiatian on the back.
What are you glaring at me for!
Can a grandson with the family name be the same as a grandson with a different family name?
Of course, they should be treated differently!
The Jiang family's sons are outsiders; what do they have to do with our Li family?
Our Li family's wealth, land, and houses should naturally be given to our Li family's children and grandchildren!
So what if the person with the surname Jiang is an outsider, even if they share the same mother?
When he has nothing to eat, you can give him a bite to eat; that's how you show your kinship.
But to dream of being like our Li family's descendants? Dream on!
Li Qiutian's words hit Li Xiatian like a hammer blow to the head. Li Xiatian felt her head buzzing. She had never thought about what Li Shiyue, Li's mother, and Li Qiutian were talking about.
But Li Qiutian seemed to think these words weren't provocative enough, so she stood up and pointed at Li Xiatian, saying, "You're not young anymore, you're not even as good as Shitou!"
Stone knows that if there's anything, he should come home and ask his aunt and Shiyue. You're just thinking about your own happiness!
I'll tell you!
In the future, I will marry a man into my family, and the children he has, regardless of gender, will only have my surname, Li!
And their descendants will only have the surname Li!
Only my children, who bear my surname, are worthy to inherit my property!
Only children who share my surname are truly part of my family!
I raised them when they were young, and they will take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die!
Li Xiatian, will the Jiang family's children and grandchildren be able to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days?
Ha, so you're trying to use my Li family's money to raise the Jiang family's children and grandchildren?
Dream on!
