Ye Wenyue glared at Li Yunfeng, who hesitated as soon as he mentioned getting married, and said, "With such a lack of ambition, you'll probably never get married in your entire life."
After a pause, Ye Wenyue pulled Yun Duoduo's arm again and snorted, "Besides, what are you arguing with your sister about? Your sister has been away from home all these years, and she hasn't had any of the good things in the house. Now that she's pregnant, I'm definitely going to make up for all these things for her baby."
"Let me tell you, even if you have children in the future, don't compare your children with your sister's children. I will definitely treat them differently."
That's just Ye Wenyue's personality; whatever she wants to do, she always does it openly and honestly.
She never hid her favoritism towards Yun Duoduo from her three sons, believing it to be perfectly natural.
Of course, the three older brothers wouldn't really hold a grudge against Yun Duoduo; they were too busy doting on her to care for her.
When my nephew is born, they'll probably treat him like a precious treasure.
Moreover, after having a grandson, Ye Wenyue probably won't pressure them to get married as much anymore.
But Li Yunfeng deliberately teased Ye Wenyue, "Mom, why are you favoring girls over boys?"
As soon as Li Yunfeng finished speaking, Ye Wenyue's younger brother, Ye Wenmin, who was also Yun Duoduo's uncle, immediately retorted, "What do you mean by favoring girls over boys? In our Haicheng, daughters are much more precious than children."
Ye Wenmin does business with Li Yunfeng, but under normal circumstances, Ye Wenmin doesn't manage things here. Instead, he manages things in another territory in Kyoto. He works with Li Yunfeng's cousin, Li Sixi, also known as Fourth Brother.
Because his territory now also sells goods from Yun Duoduo's factory, he occasionally comes over to reconcile accounts with Yun Duoduo and pick up goods.
He originally came to pick up some goods today, but he ran into Ye Wenyue and the others who came together. They also heard that Duoduo was pregnant, so they came to join in the fun.
Uncle Ye Wenmin also dotes on Duoduo. He would occasionally go back to Haicheng and bring Yun Duoduo many gifts from Haicheng.
Pearl necklaces and bracelets are extremely valuable.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said to Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, eat as much of these things as you like every day. If you finish them, I'll have your uncle send you more. Your uncle owns a medicinal herb shop, so he won't miss out on these."
Hearing this, Ye Wenyue nodded, "That's right, your uncle runs this kind of business in Haicheng, he doesn't lack these things, you can eat however you want."
Actually, Yun Duoduo didn't particularly like eating these seafood products, but since it was her uncle's good intention, she immediately nodded.
Now, Yun Duoduo truly understands what it feels like to be the center of everyone's affection.
She found it somewhat amusing, unsure whether it was she who was favored, or the baby in her belly.
Ye Wenmin looked at Yun Duoduo, suddenly remembered something, and laughed, "After the New Year, I will go back to Haicheng and bring you some good things. But you have to promise me that this pregnancy must be a daughter. There are several brothers in our Ye family, and none of them can have a daughter."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfeng tugged at him and reminded him with a smile, "Uncle, even if Duoduo gives birth to a girl this time, she will still be our Li family's granddaughter, not the Ye family's."
“What Li family? She’s from the Yun family! Duoduo is our Yun family’s daughter!” The Yun family members were not to be outdone, and the second son, Yun Zhiwei, immediately stepped forward to argue.
Just as the three men were arguing heatedly, Yan Honglan weakly interjected, "You're all wrong. This girl belongs to the Yan family."
Everyone laughed when he said that.
Regardless, the child should have the surname Yan.
Li Yunfeng glared at the crowd with a smile and shouted, "What? I've heard of robbery, but what about kidnapping people?"
Everyone laughed, and Yan Honglan also said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, don't be anxious. Maybe it's because the daughter hasn't agreed yet. Who knows, it might be a son. My mother doesn't have the same awareness as Aunt Yue and Aunt Qinglian. She definitely likes grandsons. When she finds out, she will definitely say she wants a grandson."
Everyone laughed when Yan Honglan said that.
Indeed, the Yan family, having only one daughter, Yan Honglan, and being from the countryside in this era, naturally held patriarchal views.
It's not necessarily true that having both a son and a daughter will necessarily make you treat your son better, but you must have both a son and a grandson.
Of course, I would be relieved if my first child was a son.
Yan Honglan's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were indeed the truth. If Wu Chunlan were here today, she would probably refute them. Yan Honglan was just giving everyone a heads-up.
No one seemed to care. Ye Wenmin immediately retorted, "It's alright. If your mother doesn't like a girl, we'll give her to the Ye family. We value daughters more than sons."
After saying that, Ye Wenmin sighed, "My sister has to stay in Kyoto with her brother-in-law. If she stays in Haicheng, then my sister and Duoduo will definitely be the princesses that our Ye family cherishes."
That's absolutely right, and everyone fell silent.
Yun Duoduo hadn't asked Ye Wenyue in detail about the Ye family's affairs in Haicheng. She only knew that their family used to be a wealthy family, but later, due to the changing times, they were not as prosperous as before.
Otherwise, Ye Wenyue probably wouldn't have come to Kyoto with Li Zhengyang.
To put it simply, Li Zhengyang and Ye Wenyue are a powerful alliance.
The Li family are native Kyoto residents. Starting with Li Zhengyang's grandfather, they were soldiers, and Li Zhengyang's father followed in his footsteps and worked in the military.
Next up is Li Zhengyang. In recent years, due to issues left over from the past, he also went into a period of silence.
Later, after things were cleared up, he returned to his post and took a big step forward, gaining a certain status in the Kyoto Military Region.
Therefore, Ye Wenmin's words were not an exaggeration at all.
Actually, Yun Duoduo was also thinking that when she had time, she really wanted to go back to Haicheng with Ye Wenyue and the others.
After all, the people on that side were also her closest relatives.
Although they had never met, her family in Haicheng had been very attentive to her ever since she returned, always urging her and Ye Wenyue to come back to Haicheng for a visit.
After everyone had chatted and laughed for a while, Song Qinglian noticed that it was getting late and called to Ye Wenyue and the others, "Duoduo's mom, don't go back tonight. Have a simple meal here. I'll cook some local specialties from my hometown for you. They're nothing fancy, just something to try."
Before Ye Wenyue could answer, Li Zhengyang readily agreed, "Okay, okay."
Moreover, he made a request: "Duoduo's mom, do you have that steamed pork with rice flour that you asked Duoduo to bring back last time? That stuff is really delicious, fatty but not greasy, much better than our braised pork."
