Hearing what Chen Xuanxuan said, old lady Liu was surprised and happy, "My dear, tell me the truth. Did your lover really tell you that?"

"He said that if you get pregnant with his child, he will take you back?"

Chen Xuanxuan nodded heavily, "Mom, that's what he said. I don't think I should lie to you about this."

Old lady Liu couldn't help but redden her eyes when she heard it.

She was so happy, so happy.

She didn't expect that her dear lady would have such a great fortune.

Captain Huang had told her earlier that Liu Zhao, a foreigner, was an extraordinary person at first glance.

Because the things he wore and used on a daily basis were things that ordinary people like them would never be able to use in their lifetime.

Old Lady Liu had an instinctive intuition about such a person.

She thought that if her daughter found him as her lover, she might not have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life.

"Daughter, I think since Mr. Liu said so, you will definitely be able to live a good life in the future."

Seeing the hesitation on Chen Xuanxuan's face, she thought about it and couldn't help asking. "My dear, what's wrong with you?"

"What are you worried about?"

Chen Xuanxuan nodded, "Mom, I've been with Liu Zhao for such a long time, but I still don't know where he comes from."

"I can feel that he is born extraordinary, but if he really wants to take me back, then what kind of status should I have in his house?"

Upon hearing this, old lady Liu slapped Chen Xuanxuan's hand heavily, "Who cares about his status!"

"My dear, let me tell you. For us women, if we want to be rich, we must first follow a man who is rich and powerful! As long as you follow him and give him a child, you will be guaranteed to be taken care of in your old age. You know what it means that a mother is honored by her son, right? Even if he takes you back and no longer loves you, as long as you have a son by your side and spend some time raising him, you may have great luck in the future!"

Chen Xuanxuan was speechless when she heard the old lady Liu in front of her say that having a son was like buying the highest-level national insurance.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Xuanxuan suddenly felt that the old lady was right.

In this land of China, since ancient times, there has been a rule that a son is honored by his mother and a mother is honored by her son.

Like the Empress Dowager Cixi back then, when she first entered the palace, she was just a noble lady.

Later, because she gave birth to a son, she was first promoted to Yipin, and later, directly became Yiguifei.

Finally, because of that son, this Yiguifei became the Empress Dowager Cixi who ruled the country from behind the curtain.

It can be said that the later Emperor Tongzhi was actually the turning point of the fate of the Empress Dowager Cixi, as well as the ladder for her to rise in the social class.

"Mom, actually I thought so at the beginning, but I was worried that I was pregnant with a concubine..."

After hearing this, the old lady Liu sighed at her several times, "Hey, don't say such sad words. You must be carrying a big fat boy in your belly!"

"My dear, listen to me. Tomorrow morning you will go with me to worship the Bodhisattva. Let the Bodhisattva give good guidance to the baby in your belly! With the guidance of the Bodhisattva, the son you give birth to will definitely be extraordinary. At least he will be better than us useless common people..."

After saying this, the old lady Liu suddenly thought of another question, "By the way, my dear, the man in your room and your annoying parents-in-law should not know that you are pregnant, right?"

Chen Xuanxuan reacted greatly when she heard this, "Mom, they don't know yet. But what I am most worried about is that they will know it soon."

"...Mom, let me tell you something. A few days ago, Liu Zhao and I went shopping. He was buying me a pair of gold bracelets that weighed almost three pounds..."

Before Chen Xuanxuan finished her words, the old lady Liu was so happy that her face was flying with joy.

"My dear, I knew you were smart."

"I tell you, don't worry about whether that man will take you back. If he doesn't want to take you back, then we should take advantage of him while he is still interested in you and get more benefits and more real gold and silver. With those big gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold earrings for you, you can eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want without having to look at other people's faces."

"As for the man in your room,... well, I really don't look down on him. Look, your godfather has given him so much help over the years, but he still hasn't made a fortune. He can't afford a big shop in this county, let alone a spacious three-story house. Plus, your parents-in-law like to hold other people back. What will your future life be like? I've always been worried about you."

Chen Xuanxuan opened her mouth and prepared to say something.

However, the next few words from old lady Liu made her speechless.

"My dear, I just told you that a mother is honored by her son. This principle is actually only applicable to those rich and powerful families. In the poor families of Gujiagang, this principle of a mother being honored by her son is completely useless!"

"Because if you are a woman and you don't give birth to many sons. ... For example, if you only give birth to three or four, then those women who gave birth to eight or ten sons in a row will say that you are a hen that doesn't lay many eggs! But if you are like those women, if you really give birth to eight or ten sons in this life, or even give birth to more than 12 sons, then you can't think of living a peaceful life in the future. Because then you will have to work like a cow or a horse for your sons, and be an old donkey that keeps running around for the rest of your life!"

These words made Chen Xuanxuan stunned.

She didn't expect that the old lady Liu would look at the lower-class women giving birth to sons in this way.

However, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it seriously, and suddenly realized that what she said seemed to make some sense. Only

by following a rich and powerful man and giving him children can a woman be considered "a mother who is honored by her sons". If

she follows a poor man who has nothing, how can she be honored by her sons?

After all, a poor man has no sons or grandsons. In the end, they have nothing.

Moreover, many poor men have bad tempers. They have bad genes, slow brains, and are stupid and stubborn.

If these men are particularly ugly, then the women who give birth to their sons will have no chance of turning their lives around...
