Chapter 303 Li Chongniang is ill
Wan Qiqi didn't want to argue with them any further about whether she should have a son or a daughter.
Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, the idea of valuing sons over daughters is still prevalent.
This cannot be explained in just a few words.
Instead of spouting nonsense like a troll, she should say something else.
She looked at Chen Yongxing seriously and said, "Chongniang has been in a bad mood lately. Go and ask Physician Sun to come and take a look at her."
Aunt Li immediately chimed in, "No way! Isn't Doctor Sun a man? My daughter is a woman, how can he examine her?"
Wan Qiqi felt that if she had a heart condition, she would definitely be driven to death by this person.
She said irritably, "Aunt Li, if you know something, you should teach it to Chongniang or Yongxing, instead of making sarcastic remarks here!"
Aunt Li silently lowered her head.
She did want to teach her daughter a lesson, since she hadn't taught her many things, because her daughter had given birth to a girl, and she wanted to teach her a lesson so she would know that she was doing it for her own good.
Wan Qiqi continued, "I asked Yongxing to invite Physician Sun over to examine the illness, specifically the emotional state. If this pent-up emotion continues, it can be fatal."
"Don't you care about your daughter's life at all?"
“No, I thought…” Aunt Li lowered her head and did not continue.
Chen Yongxing frowned upon hearing this, "What did you think it was?"
He realized that Aunt Li seemed to be hiding something from him, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what do you think it is? Is my wife feeling unwell anywhere? Does she need to see a doctor?"
Wan Qiqi did not answer for Aunt Li, but chose to watch quietly and let them communicate on their own.
"No, it's nothing." Aunt Li was embarrassed to speak and quickly pushed the person out, "You should listen to your sister-in-law and go and fetch a doctor."
Chen Yongxing looked at Wan Qiqi with some skepticism, wanting to get an answer from her.
He didn't know when it started, but he trusted Wan Qiqi's words completely.
He will believe the other party as long as they say no, no problem.
However, Wan Qiqi did not answer, but urged him once again to invite Sun Yin.
Chen Yongxing seemed somewhat disappointed, but thinking that Sun Yin's arrival would reveal what was wrong with his wife, he immediately headed outside.
After everyone left, Wan Qiqi slowly said, "You don't need to have the Insect Girl try to please me. I'm not buying it."
She didn't give Aunt Li any face and exposed her schemes to her face.
"As for your wish for your son to work in the county government, as I said, the result will only be known after Yongniang goes to the county government. If there is a position, I will have someone notify you, but that does not mean that your son will be able to fill it."
"Although the yamen runners are of lowly status, the people like to bribe them with money. That's why so many people know it's a tough job, yet they still lower themselves to do it. But have you ever thought that working under the magistrate's watchful eye, you could easily get a beating if you're not careful?"
"If someone is greedy and does something shameful, the yamen runners will be punished much more severely than ordinary people, and they won't be held accountable even if they are beaten to death!"
“If you really think this is a good job and your son can handle it, then send him there once you hear the news. But let me tell you in advance, if he commits a crime and gets arrested, no one will plead for him.”
After saying what she wanted to say, Wan Qiqi turned around and walked into the main room, ignoring Aunt Li.
She didn't understand what these people in the countryside were thinking, why they thought working in the county government was a good thing.
For example, the saying "serving a ruler is like serving a tiger" means that the county magistrate is like a local emperor in the county.
Working under the magistrate's nose could easily cost them their lives, yet these people eagerly wanted to go to the county government office.
The gates of officialdom are as deep as the ocean; not just anyone can enter them.
Inside the house, the aroma of white rice wafted through the air.
Chen Yongliang was squatting by the small stove, stirring the rice porridge, when suddenly a skirt appeared in front of him. He immediately looked up and shouted, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never despise my daughter in the future!"
Chen Yongliang overheard everything Wan Qiqi said outside.
He had some doubts about what his sister-in-law said, but he felt that what she said made a lot of sense and was not wrong.
Wan Qiqi didn't respond to him. Instead, she walked to Wang Zhi's side, craned her neck to look at the sleeping Chen Siyu, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, is she alright?"
Wang Zhi gently rocked the baby in her arms, her voice very low, "It's nothing, he's just hungry. He'll stop crying and fussing after drinking some rice porridge!"
Wan Qiqi nodded, thinking that Chen Siyu was well-behaved and was satisfied with just a little rice porridge!
The baby is only two days old, so rice water alone is not enough. Breast milk is the best and most nutritious.
It is said that breast milk is the blood of the mother, and drinking a mouthful of breast milk is equivalent to drinking a mouthful of blood. That is why mothers need to supplement their nutrition to maintain their bodily functions.
But Li Chongniang is not in good condition now, so it will probably be difficult for her to breastfeed her child.
She can buy formula at the mall to replace it, but she can't keep feeding the baby all the time.
It's not her child!
Besides, she was also going to Hefeng Town in a couple of days to make final arrangements with Boss Zhu for the start of the school year.
Around the seventh or eighth day of the lunar new year, we will send Pingping to Hefeng Academy to study.
She'll be busy for the rest of her days; how could she have time for these things?
Chen Yongliang squatted by the stove, smelling the fragrant aroma of rice, and couldn't help but swallow.
We've always eaten brown rice and old rice at home. This little bit of white rice was bought by Mr. Wan when he came to our house, and we can't bear to eat it.
If Chen Siyu hadn't been hungry, they wouldn't have been willing to take it out to cook porridge.
He smacked his lips twice, looked up and asked, "Sister-in-law, would you like some porridge?"
Wan Qiqi couldn't help but facepalm at Chen Yongliang's gluttonous appearance.
She's been here so long, yet this guy hasn't gone hungry. He looks like he hasn't eaten rice porridge in ages.
Wan Qiqi sighed and said, "No need, you eat it!"
