Fang Yanming chuckled inwardly. What business trip? Shi Junjie wasn't traveling every day. Whenever he was in Pingjiang, he stayed at Gao Shengnan's place. The young couple had a very good relationship and were living a peaceful life. Why would he be looking for other women?
Moreover, to be honest, the girls his cousin introduced were not as good as Gao Shengnan.
Shi Junjie isn't blind, nor is he stupid; he knows who the best is.
My niece was fooled by Fang Yanming. Luckily, they lived far away. Although my niece had her doubts, she couldn't keep running around every few days. She had a large family to take care of!
Mao Fangfei's due date was fast approaching. Fang Yanming was worried, so he asked Ye Qingqing to book a hospital room in advance. She moved in ten days before her due date. The delivery went smoothly without too much trouble. She gave birth to a big, healthy girl weighing seven pounds and eight ounces. Fang Yanming was overjoyed.
He dreams of having a sweet little girl, but he doesn't really want a son. A daughter is better; she's closer to her father.
Fang Yanming's parents, however, were not happy. They looked down on their granddaughter. Although they already had several grandsons, they still wanted Fang Yanming to have another child. Moreover, both Fang Yanming and Mao Fangfei worked for government agencies, and according to regulations, they could only have one child. Now that they only had a daughter, the two elders were not satisfied with anything.
"Daughters are raised for other people's families, and they will get married sooner or later. What will you do when you get old? Why don't you let your wife have another one? At worst, your wife can quit her job. As long as she has a son, she will definitely not lose out."
Fang's mother couldn't resist calling her son.
She was genuinely worried that Fang Yanming would be all alone when he got old, with no one to take care of him. Once a daughter is raised, she belongs to someone else's family, so how could she possibly take care of her parents' family all the time? That's why people say daughters are a money-losing burden!
There's always some truth to old sayings.
Fang Yanming laughed in anger and said sarcastically, "What's the use of raising a son who can't be raised properly? My wife reminded me last year to have my aunt go to the hospital for a check-up, but Xu Tianlai delayed until my aunt vomited blood before going. If she had gone to the hospital earlier, would my aunt have died?"
There are ready-made examples right here, and his mother still doesn't understand. Raising a son like Xu Tianlai is worse than living alone forever!
Fang's mother was speechless. Her sister-in-law's situation was indeed tragic, but—
"No matter what, it's good to have a son. Someone will send you up the mountain in the future, so that the family line won't end."
The idea of carrying on the family line was deeply ingrained in Fang's mother's heart. Only her son could continue the family line. No matter how useless he was, the blood flowing in his veins was Fang's, and he could carry on the Fang family line.
No matter how successful our daughter is, she belongs to someone else's family and has nothing to do with the Fang family.
Fang Yanming grew impatient. "Our Fang family has neither a throne nor a fortune. What does it matter whether the family line is passed down or not? When a person dies, the lamp is lit. As long as you live well while you're alive, why worry about so much after you die? Besides, you and my father already have grandsons. Let them carry on the family line. I only want my daughter."
There are so many people with the surname Fang in the world. We were all one family five hundred years ago. Why worry about not having anyone to carry on the family line?
Fang's mother was still not giving up, nagging Mao Fangfei to have a second child after she recovered. She said it didn't matter if she lost her job, Fang Yanming's job was the most important thing, and her daughter-in-law's job was just a passing cloud.
“My wife is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. She’s in a higher position than me and earns a higher salary. If she loses her job, my salary won’t even be enough to support one child. And you want me to have another one? Ha… You and my dad will raise it for me?”
