Chi Yu felt that she and her sister had been somewhat lucky ever since they transmigrated into this book.
But if it were to reach the point where one's wishes could come true and one's words could be obeyed, that would be outrageous.
Wouldn't that make it like the "words of power" in other metaphysical novels?
If that were truly the case, she would certainly wish for the Great Chu Kingdom to enjoy favorable weather, peace, and prosperity.
Besides, I have countless amounts of money at home every day.
But is it possible?
If possible, she wouldn't even ask for the big ones; she just wanted all the land in the space to be automatically cultivated.
Ideally, it should be like a farm in a game, with one-click planting and one-click harvesting.
While Liu Mei looked expectant and Chi Yu remained silent, Ali, who was being led by his brother, tilted his head and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Second Aunt, don't you like your little brother?"
Liu Mei, who was initially very happy, suddenly froze on her lips upon hearing these words.
His gaze shifted from the fish in the pond down to Ali.
"Ali, why would you ask that?"
She heard that children under three years old are cleaner and can see things that ordinary people cannot.
Could it be that Ali saw a boy in her womb?
If Liu Mei hadn't married into Chijia'ao, she would have been very happy to hear the child say that.
Just like her maternal family, daughters are considered a financial burden, while only sons are seen as the foundation.
At home, girls start helping with cooking and sweeping from the age of three.
When they grew a little older, they had to go up the mountain to collect firewood, do laundry, cook, and wash dishes.
Moreover, during busy farming seasons, they also have to go to the fields with the farmers.
Only the boys, who are seven or eight years old, are still playing.
They spend all their time either climbing mountains to steal birds' nests or going down to the river to catch fish.
Newlywed women often need to give birth to a son to gain a foothold in their husband's family.
But it's different here. This is Chijia'ao, and sons are not a rare commodity here at all.
Ali is young and very sensitive to changes in people's emotions.
Hearing Liu Mei's words, he was so frightened that he hid behind his older brother, who was slightly taller than him, and clung tightly to his brother's clothes with his little hands.
Ah Guang has the demeanor of an elder brother. Having grown up with his younger brother, he knows that his brother is afraid.
So, while his younger brother hid behind him, he spoke:
"Second Aunt, my brother is fine. Please don't do this, or Ali will be scared."
Upon hearing A-Guang's words, Liu Mei came to her senses and realized that her reaction had been a bit excessive.
She quickly composed herself and said apologetically, "Ah Guang and Ah Li, I'm sorry, it was Second Aunt's fault."
My second aunt is pregnant and really wants to know if it's a boy or a girl.
Because Liu Mei usually doted on A Guang and A Li, the two little ones were very close to her.
Upon hearing the apology, Ah Guang didn't say anything, but Ah Li peeked out from behind his brother and asked:
"Second Aunt, how did the baby in your belly come about? Ali wants one too!"
Liu Mei was speechless. She didn't know how to answer the question in front of the child, and could only look helplessly at Chi Yu.
"Aunt..."
Chi Yu had already carefully considered her words, and she first replied:
“Arden’s wife, whether the child in your womb is a boy or a girl, it is your child with Arden.”
I know you want a girl.
But what if—and I mean what if—it's a son, like Ali said, then you won't like it?
