Xu Xiangru was "frightened" by the fact that the Ling family had multiple children. She returned home in a daze. However, she heard her husband tell her a "bad news" as soon as she got home.
"How could Mom go to my eldest brother's house at this time!" Xu Xiangru looked at her husband in a daze.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the family needs to prepare a lot of things for the New Year. She has to take care of the children and can't do anything. At this time, her mother-in-law passed away!
Su Baoshan rubbed his hands and whispered, "It's my fault. I had a few words with Mom and made her unhappy..."
Xu Xiangru looked at her husband but didn't believe it.
Her mother-in-law always loved this son the most and never turned away just because of an argument with her son, unless...
"Mom... is she still unhappy that I only gave birth to a daughter..." Xu Xiangru pursed her lips, her face slightly pale.
Su Baoshan quickly said, "No! Of course not! Xiangru, don't let your imagination run wild!"
Even if her husband explained it this way, how could Xu Xiangru not understand it herself?
She had been married to Su Baoshan for so many years and finally got pregnant with a child, but unfortunately, the child was a girl.
Every time Chu Yuefang came over, she would say that she envied her for being able to give birth to a daughter, which really hurt Xu Xiangru's heart.
How could Chu Yuefang, who easily gave birth to so many sons, possibly understand her suffering...
Xu Xiangru would not stop loving her daughter, but she would also think that it would be great if the child was a son.
At least she doesn't have to endure the cold shoulder from her mother-in-law.
Seeing his wife's bad face, Su Baoshan hurriedly said: "Xiangru, don't worry, I'll go find mom right away! Don't worry!"
Xu Xiangru reached out and grabbed her husband's arm: "Don't... Mom must want to see Xiaowei. She will definitely be unhappy if you ask her to come back now. Forget it..."
Xu Xiangru was a little afraid of her mother-in-law, especially since she had not yet given birth to a child to carry on the Su family's bloodline. In this respect, she was no match for Su Baoshan's sister-in-law.
"But……"
"Let's just take care of ourselves for the next few days, and then we can go and see if Mom is happy to come back before the New Year. Don't make her angry."
It's better for her to be a little tired than to suffer the cold shoulder from her mother-in-law.
Su Baoshan always listened to his wife, so he nodded and agreed: "Then let's wait until before the New Year to ask Mom... Come inside and lie down, your hands are ice cold!"
Su Baoshan wrapped his hands around Xu Xiangru's and rubbed them back and forth.
Xu Xiangru felt a little relieved when she felt her husband's thoughtfulness, and was embraced by Su Baoshan into the house.
The child on the bed was still sleeping soundly.
Xu Xiangru took off her cotton jacket, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.
"There will be no milk powder in the future. Sister Yuefang wants to leave all the milk powder to their daughter." Xu Xiangru said with a sigh.
Su Baoshan didn't take it too seriously and said, "It's okay. I'll try to buy some malted milk or something. There are people raising sheep in Yangqiu Village. If that doesn't work, I can give my daughter some goat milk. She'll definitely grow fat!"
Xu Xiangru is thin and doesn't have much milk, but her family can't be bothered by this little problem. There must be a way to raise the child well.
Xu Xiangru also knew that there was always a way to deal with it, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
She glanced at her own daughter and couldn't help muttering, "Sister Yuefang is really crazy about having a daughter. She's actually willing to raise someone else's child..."
Nowadays, some families have so many children that they can hardly afford to raise them. The Ling family already has so many children, but they actually adopt other people's children. It's really eye-catching.
Before, Chu Yuefang was very willing to give the milk powder to her own daughter, but now that she is raising someone else's daughter, her attitude has suddenly changed.
She will definitely not love her daughter Niuniu as much from now on.
Whether Chu Yuefang gave these things or not was Chu Yuefang's own business, but now Xu Xiangru felt like something belonging to her family was stolen by someone else.
Su Baoshan didn't know what his wife was thinking, so he said, "His family is doing well, so raising another child shouldn't be a big deal. Let them do whatever they want, it's none of our business."
Xu Xiangru couldn't help but glance at him and said:
"How can you raise someone else's child? He still needs milk powder and other things to be provided with. Who knows, he might turn out to be an ungrateful person in the future."
The more Xu Xiangru thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Su Baoshan touched his head: "This... Raising him since childhood is almost the same as having a biological child."
"That's hard to say. How could the son of the Gao family in the west village just leave?" Xu Xiangru said, "If a son who was raised from childhood could leave without saying anything, let alone a daughter."
When I heard my wife mention Su Baoshan from the Gao family, I was speechless for a moment.
The Gao family is currently living a truly miserable life...
Su Baoshan said, "Hancheng and the others should have already thought it through. There's no point in us worrying about them. It's okay. They have many children anyway, so even if they really leave in the future, it won't be a big deal."
Su Baoshan had no idea what was going on in his wife's mind. He thought she was worried that the Ling family wouldn't be able to raise the adopted child well.
In Su Baoshan's opinion, whether the Ling family can support the girl well or not is really not a big deal. The Ling family is not short of food, and they don't expect this girl to support them in their old age. They think she is just doing it for fun.
Since they wanted a daughter so much, they should be happy that they got what they wanted.
Xu Xiangru said sullenly: "You are right..."
"Wife, I've put some heat in the stove. You can sleep a little longer while I go out and shovel the snow in the yard."
Su Baoshan walked out while talking.
Xu Xiangru responded casually and watched Su Baoshan leave.
The room fell completely silent.
Xu Xiangru's mood also fell to the bottom.
The Ling family's sudden adoption of a child really gave her a big shock.
She originally thought that since Chu Yuefang loved her daughter so much, her daughter would have an extra support in the future, but now all her thoughts were useless.
This was really unexpected.
It's not just her. In two days, the entire Huaihe Village will probably be scared...
