Chapter 518: Preferring Sons to Daughters



Although China has relaxed its birth control policy due to an aging population, many places have only allowed three children.

Not to mention that Sun Jianmin's children were obviously born before the birth policy was relaxed.

Sun Jianmin was obviously used to hearing such things, and he didn't take it seriously. He said with a smile: "Now that the child is born, there is nothing we can do. We can only raise him. Besides, isn't childbirth encouraged now?"

"Then why did you think of having so many children? Given your family's situation, it would be difficult to raise so many children, right?"

Gu Yang looked around Sun Jianmin's yard.

The thing that is most abundant in rural areas is land. Sun Jianmin's yard is also large, consisting of a three-story unrenovated concrete building and two bungalows. There is a tall old pomelo tree planted in the middle, and a chicken coop is built next to the pomelo tree.

Of the two bungalows, one was better maintained and had a chimney on top, which was obviously used as a kitchen.

The other room was an abandoned adobe house with cracked yellow mud walls and a closed wooden door. There was only a small window through which one could look out. There was no light inside, and it was pitch black when one looked through the window.

Judging from their appearance, Sun Jianmin's family's economic conditions are not good, probably average in Qingsha Village.

Gu Yang is pretty and smart, and speaks in a soft voice. She gives people the impression of being gentle and well-behaved, very friendly, and it is difficult for people to be wary of her.

Sun Jianmin thought the girl was just being kindhearted and concerned about his family's situation, so he sighed and said, "I got married late, and I still haven't found a wife in my thirties. People in the village laughed at me for not having a son to take care of me in my old age.

I have been holding back my anger, and after I got married, I gave birth to children one after another. Now I have nine sons, who dares to look down on me? "

Sun Jianmin felt quite proud when he finished speaking.

But thinking that these big stars are here to help alleviate poverty, Sun Jianmin began to talk about his own difficulties: "Raising so many children is very difficult, not to mention that I have an 80-year-old mother and a disabled brother at home."

"All of you have sons, but no daughters?" Qiu Baizhou asked suddenly.

Sun Jianmin and Sun Kang were both stunned. Qiu Baizhou, who was a lawyer and was cold and serious, was obviously not as calm as he was with Gu Yang.

Sun Kang didn't dare to look directly at Qiu Baizhou, his eyes flickered: "I don't have a sister."

"Girls..." Sun Jianmin smiled innocently: "I'm lucky, all of them are sons, not a single girl."

Several women present frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the obvious patriarchal remarks.

Qiao Xuan sneered, not caring that this was a live broadcast, and said sarcastically: "Not having a daughter means you're lucky? Why did you marry a woman when you got married?"

Qiao Xuan was born in a rural area, in a family that favors boys over girls, and has two younger brothers.

She had always been an excellent student since she was young and always ranked at the top. She was admitted to university, but because she had to support her two younger brothers to attend technical school, her parents tore up her admission letter and forced her to drop out of school and go to work.

How could an 18-year-old girl, who was not financially independent and mentally immature, escape her parents' arrangements? Her dream of going to college was shattered.

Although she was later discovered by a scout, entered the entertainment industry and became a famous star, she still couldn't let go when she thought of the admission letter that was torn into pieces and mixed with tears.
