Even though Lin Tianxia repeatedly expressed her unwillingness to have a B-ultrasound, Chunhua's mother still did not give up and mentioned the benefits of a B-ultrasound to Lin Tianxia every few days.
They say that if you know the gender of the baby early, you can prepare clothes, shoes, quilts, and jackets for the baby, and also give the baby a name early.
If she wasn't afraid of being struck by lightning, Lin Tianxia would have wanted to slap Chunhua's mother a few times.
Whose newborn baby doesn’t have festive clothes and shoes? !
What's the difference between a girl and a boy?!
Only those families who really can't make ends meet would sew those dirt-resistant dark blue or black coats for their babies.
The Liu family doesn't look like a family that can't make ends meet, right? !
After all the talk, Chunhua's mother still wanted her to go to the hospital for that damn B-ultrasound.
How about the girl? How about the boy?
You can't just abort the baby just because you find out it's a girl, right? !
As soon as she opened her eyes on Sunday, Chunhua's mother started talking about all sorts of things again, bringing up old matters.
Captain Liu left early because of some matters in the regiment.
The only people left at the dinner table were Liu Chunliang and Liu Chunhua, brother and sister, and Chunhua's mother and daughter-in-law, Lin Tianxia.
On one side is his mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side is his wife with whom he is to spend his life. Both sides of the hand are made of flesh and blood, and Liu Chunliang, a rough old man who can only train with a gun, doesn't know how to reconcile them.
To him, whether it is a girl or a boy, they are all his children, and he certainly cannot favor one over the other.
Whether or not to do an ultrasound is actually a very small matter. He didn't know why his mother and daughter-in-law would be deadlocked for so long over such a trivial matter.
But he didn't dare to say no. If he said no, his mother would definitely scold him, saying that he had forgotten his mother after getting a wife. But if he said he would go, his wife would definitely be unhappy.
Anyway, he is now like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror...
Neither of them is human.
Chunhua's mother muttered for a long time, and when no one responded, she slammed the chopsticks on the dining table.
"Chunliang, you don't have anything to do today anyway. After breakfast, take your wife to the hospital for an ultrasound and let the doctor see whether the baby in your wife's belly is a girl or a boy..."
"Mom, I told you, I won't go. Whether the baby in my belly is a girl or a boy, I will accept it." Lin Tianxia said in a firm tone.
"I didn't say I didn't recognize him. I just wanted to find out whether he was a girl or a boy. How did I offend you?" Chunhua's mother frowned and looked at Lin Tianxia with obvious displeasure.
"We'll know in a few months." Lin Tianxia muttered softly.
"In a few months?!" Chunhua's mother raised her voice, "Will it be in time to prepare the baby's coat, clothes, shoes and socks in a few months?"
"Lin Tianxia, do you want to wait until the baby in your belly is born before you sew clothes, shoes, socks and hats for him?" Chunhua's mother became more and more angry as she spoke.
In the building next to theirs, the daughter-in-law listens to whatever the mother-in-law says, but the one in her family is like a rebellious person.
"Isn't Shen Zhihuan's son also wearing the red jacket and red sweater that his mother-in-law prepared for her granddaughter? Even the quilt and blanket are bright red. And no one says anything about his family dressing the boy in bright red. Instead, everyone says it looks good." Lin Tianxia swallowed the sour cucumber in her mouth before speaking slowly.
"Mom, it's true. They say that a baby wearing a red jacket looks as festive as a New Year picture doll. Many people in our Foreign Languages Department even said that they would sew red jackets for their babies in the future. Mom, why don't we sew a big red jacket for my eldest nephew too?" Liu Chunhua suddenly became excited.
"What kind of family is they? What kind of family are we? You go compare yourself with Shen Zhihuan, why don't you compare yourself with the immortals in the sky?!" Chunhua's mother slammed the table.
"She has her grandfather, godfather, grandpa and grandma to support her. Even if Shen Zhihuan gave birth to a son, even if she laid an egg, the Su family would have to worship that egg. What can you compare with Shen Zhihuan?"
Liu Chunhua frowned, "Mom, when did I say I wanted to compete with Zhihuan? I meant..."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you check your textbooks and review them when you have time? Are you addicted to being at the bottom of the class? You won't feel comfortable unless you're first or second to last, right?!" Chunhua's mother glared at her.
"Mom, just talk. How can you make personal attacks?!" Liu Chunhua stomped her feet.
Do you really think she wants to count down? She also wants to do well...
But what the teacher said at the podium was like a mystery. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't understand it.
"I am making a personal attack on you. If you can just flip through the books like Shen Zhihuan and get the first place in the exam, you can even let me build a shrine to worship you." Chunhua's mother snorted coldly.
"Bang!" Liu Chunhua put the dishes in her hands on the table and went back to the house angrily.
“Bang!”
The huge force caused the wooden door to tremble.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Chunhua's mother frowned and sighed, then turned her head to look at the two people at the dinner table.
Lin Tianxia finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and as if she didn't notice Chunhua's mother's gaze, she got up and went back to the house.
As soon as the door closed, Chunhua's mother could no longer sit still.
"Look, this is the good daughter-in-law you found for me..." Chunhua's mother pointed at the closed door, trembling all over.
"Mom..." Liu Chunliang called softly, signaling her to stop talking.
"When you talked to me, I told you that you came from a small place and were short-sighted and disobedient. But you refused to listen and insisted on marrying her. Now look at you, you keep looking down at your mother all day long. Go out and see which daughter-in-law dares to disobey her mother-in-law like this?" Chunhua's mother's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
There were so many pretty girls from good families in the art troupe, but he refused to marry one and insisted on marrying one from a small place.
Not only did he not help at all, he also hindered us.
Su Ziyu had just been promoted to brigade commander and immediately went out on a mission. When he comes back this time, he might be promoted again.
They are all of normal age, and Su Ziyu is already a brigade commander...
If she had the capable help of the Yue family, her Chunliang would not have been stuck in the position of company commander.
"Mom, haven't you always told me that girls and boys are the same? Why bother going to the hospital and wasting money?" Liu Chunliang whispered.
This room is not soundproof, and he is really afraid that Lin Tianxia will hear it.
Because of such a small matter as whether to do an ultrasound or not, Lin Tianxia has cried several times in front of him.
"I'm not saying that having a daughter is bad! I just want to know earlier so that I can prepare clothes and jackets for the baby earlier. How can that not be possible?" Chunhua's mother insisted on this point.
"Mom, the doctor said that women should not get angry when they are pregnant. If they get too angry, the baby they give birth to will be as wrinkled as bitter gourd. You don't want your grandchildren to be born like little old men in their seventies or eighties, right?!" Liu Chunliang sighed.
"Stop fooling me." Chunhua's mother hesitated.
She may not care about her daughter-in-law, but she cannot ignore her own grandchildren.
