Chapter 118 Isn’t That Third Uncle?

When Xingxing returned to the Taoist temple, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng happened to be leaving.

Bai Xiaofeng looked depressed and unhappy.

Li Chunhua also felt a little uncomfortable.

Xingxing looked at this, then that, then ran to the roadside to find two beautiful wild flowers, and gave one to Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng.

Bai Xiaofeng let out a sigh of relief, but she was very considerate of Xing Xing, and the worry on her face faded a little: "...it's almost winter, and there are still flowers."

Li Chunhua heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Xiaofeng like this. She pinned the flowers Xingxing gave her to her hair and said to Bai Xiaofeng, "Just smile. Don't be so stern. I feel embarrassed. Look at how good our Xingxing is. She is not a lady, right?"

Bai Xiaofeng glanced at Li Chunhua and snorted twice: "Our Xingxing is naturally good. I thought if I had another child, wouldn't it be a double happiness?"

Having said this, she touched her belly with some melancholy:

"It was so mysterious. I knelt there and prayed to the gods to let me have a daughter, but the incense was broken by the wind every time it burned halfway... It happened three times in a row, and not once did it burn all the way through!"

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that the gods are reminding me that my baby will be another bad boy?"

Li Chunhua opened her mouth, wanting to persuade him.

But she also knew how much Bai Xiaofeng wanted a maiden. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been hoping it would be a daughter. Even the small bellyband and swaddling clothes she had made during her pregnancy looked like they were prepared for a maiden.

But as for matters like giving birth to sons or concubines, it is not something that these women can do as they please.

It still depends on God's will.

If God doesn't want you to have a daughter, what can you do?

——However, Li Chunhua did make progress after all. She knew that if she really said it so directly, the relationship between the sisters-in-law would be tense again.

She held it in for a while, then held it in for a while, and finally tried to persuade Bai Xiaofeng: "...having many sons is not a bad thing. Look at our four sons. How prosperous their lives are now."

Bai Xiaofeng actually knew that this was reasonable, but the girl she had been looking forward to for several months was suddenly going to become a son, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

Bai Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Two sons are enough. I'll have to worry about finding a wife when they get married. Mom is a big-hearted person, so our lives are getting better and better... If we have more sons, it will be a problem to get along with the daughters-in-law. Besides, my son was very naughty when he was young... It gives me a headache just thinking about it."

But Xing Xing suddenly said seriously: "Second Aunt, don't worry, my brother will be very good and won't give you any headaches."

Bai Xiaofeng felt both amused and angry when Xingxing said this.

What was funny was of course the childish words the little girl said to comfort her.

The reason why I was angry was that even the little girl Xingxing had already believed that the baby in her belly was a little brother.

Bai Xiaofeng sighed with a sad face, but he seemed to have come to terms with it.

If the baby is really a son, what can she do?

Are you going to put your son back in?

"Let's go, let's go to the county town and visit those bad boys." Li Chunhua was holding a bundle in her hand, which contained the new coats she and Bai Xiaofeng had made for the four boys in the family.

Li Chunhua wanted to make Bai Xiaofeng happier, but then she remembered something else:

"Come to think of it, the last time I went to the county, I heard from Huai that our Liu Ge took the first place in the school's ten-day examination. And not just once, this is the third time in a row. Even the teacher of the school said, come back..."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaofeng's eyebrows danced with joy, "Brother Liu has been a scholar since he was young."

She remembered something and wanted to laugh again. "Last time I went to the creek to wash clothes, I happened to run into Zhou Wu Niang. She even deliberately told me how hard her son Qian An worked every day and how the teacher in the school only praised him."

Bai Xiaofeng snorted with great pride, "I just told her in a low-key manner that our Liu Ge'er only won the first place in the ten-day examination three times in a row!"

Liu Ge'er is a member of the Yu family, so the glory he has won is naturally the glory of the entire Yu family. Li Chunhua laughed.

Xingxing already knew what "case first" meant. Ju Ge'er had told her that the person who ranked first in the exam was called "case first".

"Third brother is so awesome!" Xingxing's eyes were full of stars.

Bai Xiaofeng no longer felt sad at this moment, but was filled with pride.

The three of them went to the county town chatting and laughing.

When they arrived at the county town, the boys had not yet finished school, so Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng had to see with their own eyes how the new clothes looked on the children, and if they didn't fit, they had to make alterations.

They planned to go for a walk outside first and then go to Yu's store.

"Come to think of it, these guys have grown a lot taller recently, and these clothes will probably only last this season. I wonder if the remaining stock I have is enough..." Bai Xiaofeng and Li Chunhua were talking about clothes while walking on the street.

"If it doesn't work, we can just add another piece of cloth later." Li Chunhua disagreed.

Bai Xiaofeng smiled and glanced at her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you see, you still have the same old idea, don't you? Now the children are all grown up and studying in the county. If they make clothes from pieces of cloth, won't they be inferior to their classmates?"

Li Chunhua was stunned when she heard this; she had never thought of this.

After Bai Xiaofeng pointed it out, she thought about it and nodded repeatedly: "Second brother and sister-in-law are really thoughtful. I remember last time, Huai told us that they have been getting along well with a classmate named Fan, and even visited Fan's home... Huai didn't tell me in detail, but from what I heard, the classmate named Fan seemed to have a good family background."

"Isn't it?" Bai Xiaofeng was chatting with Li Chunhua, nodding in agreement, "I've also heard from Gui Ge'er about that classmate named Fan, I think his name is... Fan, Fan Xingru!"

"Yes, that's him..."

The two adults were chatting there, while Xingxing was looking around curiously.

Suddenly, she uttered "Huh" and tilted her head.

"...Aunt, aunt, is that your third uncle?" Xingxing's childish voice came.

Li Chunhua hadn't seen anyone yet, but when Xingxing said this, she instinctively felt that it was impossible: "...How could it be? Shouldn't my third brother be in the shop at this time?"

As a result, before Li Chunhua finished her words, she subconsciously looked in the direction of Xingxing's little finger.

Upon seeing this, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng both frowned!

There was no other reason. The man who lived across the street from them was Yu Sanbao!

But at this moment, Yu Sanbao was accompanied by a thin girl, and it seemed that he was buying something for her!
