Qi Ran didn't know how she returned to the ward in a daze that day. She only knew that Old Lady Li was ashamed of her and rushed home. Lu Yuncheng felt annoyed by his daughter's crying and also turned and left.
She lay on the hospital bed, her daughter's cries echoing in her ears, but she remained unmoved, only frantically questioning the system in her mind: "Why? I clearly took the fertility pill, why is this happening!"
The Mingming Fertility Pill is said to have a 100% success rate in giving birth to a son!
Where is my son now?
The system's cold, rigid mechanical voice announced: [Due to the host's failure to replenish nutrients in time during pregnancy...]
[The lack of nutrition meant that the fertility pills couldn't take effect in time.]
After hearing this, Qi Ran felt a pang of regret, but she hated the child sleeping next to her even more.
She even went so far as to believe that if it weren't for the birth of this daughter, her child should have been a son.
It was this daughter who killed her own son!
Qi Ran stayed in the hospital for about a week before returning to the Lu family.
On her first night back at the Lu family home, the whole family gathered together for dinner again.
The Lu family had an exceptionally good meal today, with four out of the five dishes being meat dishes. The whole family was drooling with envy at the sight of the meat dishes.
Qi Ran had been feeling resentful because she had no one to take care of her in the hospital. But seeing the table full of meat and vegetables, she suddenly felt much better.
This huge table of dishes must have been specially prepared for her by Grandma Li.
Despite her words and actions suggesting displeasure, she wasn't exactly welcoming when she got home.
After all, she was the first in the Lu family to give birth to a child, and she was the one with the highest status among the five wives.
"Why is the food so good today?" Xu Tianqing asked in surprise, looking at the table full of delicious dishes.
Qi Ran craned her neck, ready to receive praise from Grandma Li, but instead of Grandma Li's voice, she heard Shen Qianqian's voice.
"The convenience store and Yunzhi's factory have been doing really well lately, so we thought we'd treat the whole family to a nice meal to celebrate."
These words pierced Qi Ran's heart like a thorn.
He was already experiencing countless misfortunes, so why was Shen Qianqian living such a good life?
She retorted sarcastically, "If you're so good at making money, why don't you pay back the money you took home first? You haven't forgotten all about the money you brought home, have you?"
"Alright! A whole table of food can't shut you up!" Old Mrs. Li now felt that her eldest daughter-in-law had become the least liked daughter-in-law in her family. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and angrily scolded Qi Ran.
Then she added, "And the fifth brother and his wife have already returned all the money they owed. So, everyone can eat to their heart's content today. We have money and confidence now!" Actually, she didn't say the second half of her sentence.
The fifth branch managed to get the money back, but less than a week later, the two of them took the money away again under the pretext of expanding their business.
At this time, Old Mrs. Li was still thinking about earning more money so she could buy things for her family. She had no idea that in the near future, the Lu family would fall apart completely because of a single sentence she uttered…
As soon as Grandma Li finished speaking, the Lu family members prepared to pick up their chopsticks, including Qi Ran.
She has now shifted her vegetarian diet to her daughter, so she no longer needs to suffer through a vegetarian diet herself.
She picked up her chopsticks to add meat, but the meat dishes in front of her were suddenly removed, leaving only a plate of vegetable soup in front of her.
Qi Ran looked up and met Shen Qianqian's smiling eyes.
“I almost forgot, my sister-in-law is a staunch vegetarian, so how could she possibly want to eat meat?” Shen Qianqian said, pushing the vegetarian soup towards Qi Ran.
"Who said I like vegetarian food?" Qi Ran said through gritted teeth.
Grandma Li chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "It's not that they love eating vegetarian food, they just don't want their whole family to eat meat. After all, the money and meat saved can be sent to their parents' home."
After Grandma Li finished speaking, Qi Ran finally realized that the wild boar incident had become an unresolved issue in Grandma Li's heart.
If she had given birth to a son, perhaps Old Lady Li's attitude towards her would have changed, but it turned out to be a daughter.
Thinking of this, Qi Ran's hatred for her daughter deepened.
Just then, her daughter in her arms burst into tears, attracting the attention of the entire Lu family.
Note.
"How do you, as a mother, soothe a child?" Old Mrs. Li scolded Qi Ranyi with slight dissatisfaction.
Perhaps it was because of the blood ties between her and her child that she was momentarily moved and took the child to comfort her.
What's even more amazing is that as soon as Grandma Li took the child, the child immediately stopped crying, which unexpectedly made Grandma Li feel a little more fond of the child.
"Have you named her yet?" Grandma Li asked.
"I'll take it," Qi Ran replied. "Let's call him Lu Pandi."
She just picked the name off the top of her head; she probably didn't think about it for more than ten seconds. "Pan Di?" Shen Qianqian frowned upon hearing those two words: "They're all your children..."
"Why bother distinguishing between high and low among them?"
Grandma Li was also dissatisfied with the name: "Change the name. This kind of name doesn't sound good when you call people out."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Qi Ran's preference for sons over daughters; she just simply felt that this thing...
It's not good to put it on the table.
What she, Old Lady Li, cares about most is her image in the eyes of others.
“What a wonderful name!” Lu Yuncheng wholeheartedly agreed with the name: “Pandi Pandi, looking forward to the arrival of the younger brother.”
