Wedding banquets in Dongling Kingdom are usually held at noon. The full moon banquet is the first major happy event after a person is born, so a grand banquet will be held.
Mrs. Zhang is an only daughter, and Captain Zhang is also an only son. Naturally, Zhang Nianxue is the treasure of both families.
However, Captain Zhang's parents passed away early, so the elders invited today are his uncle and aunt.
For the full moon banquet, the previous generation of the child's parents had to give the child a big red envelope, so Captain Zhang invited his uncle and aunt to come.
Mrs. Zhang didn't like these two people, but they were the only ones Captain Zhang could hire. Another uncle was a widower, and it was not very auspicious to give red envelopes to the children.
So she agreed.
There were many guests at the full moon banquet. Mrs. Zhang was holding the baby, and relatives from both families came forward to take a look. They all said that the baby was cute and praised the baby.
No matter how sincere it was, she was happy to hear it.
Who doesn’t like their children to be praised?
At this time, Captain Zhang's uncle and aunt came. They both looked wealthy and walked forward through the crowd with smiles on their faces.
Mrs. Zhang smiled at the two of them and said, "Uncle and aunt are here. Thank you for your hard work on the journey." Even if she didn't like it, she still had to do the necessary etiquette since they were the ones she invited.
Captain Zhang’s uncle is named Zhang Zhongming and his aunt is named Ye Guihua.
Zhang Zhongming nodded and smiled at Liang Xue, saying, "I'm going to go find Zhengping, and your aunt will stay with you."
"Zhengping is over there." Liang Xue looked in the direction of Captain Zhang and said to him.
Captain Zhang's original name was Zhang Zhengping. Many people almost forgot this because since he became the captain of Qingxi Town, no one called him by his name anymore. They all called him Captain Zhang.
Ye Guihua reached out and held little Nianxue's small fist, frowning and said, "Oh, how come this child has grown so small? It's already a full month old and she still looks like she was just born, as if she hasn't grown up yet. Ah Xue, don't you have enough milk?"
The smile on Liang Xue's face froze, and she forced a smile and said, "No, I have enough milk, and she eats no less than other children." And she looked obviously bigger than a month ago. How bad must her eyesight be to see that she was the same size as when she was just born?
Liang Xue didn't want to cause any unpleasantness at her daughter's full moon banquet, so she insisted on smiling.
But Ye Guihua seemed to not understand what people were saying.
He continued with a tut-tut sound, "In that case, it might be because it's a girl. Girls are spoiled and hard to raise. But girls are destined to get married when they grow up, and there's nothing else to do with them. When do you and your wife plan to have another son? You should start thinking about it. Otherwise, when this child grows up, the age difference between them will be too big for you to raise alone..."
Liang Xue could no longer hear what was said afterwards.
She could only feel her ears buzzing. What did they mean by "girls are hard to raise?" And what about "they are useless when they grow up"?
This is clearly a curse that her child will not live long!
Liang Xue was so angry that her hands were shaking while holding the child, and the smile on her face had completely disappeared. She couldn't smile at such a person!
"...If you don't want to have children, that's fine. You can have Zhengping marry a younger one and let the younger one have children. If she marries someone young and fertile, maybe she'll have a son in her lifetime. Then Zhengping will have a son to carry on the family line, and his parents can rest assured. What do you think? If you're okay with that, I can start looking for someone for Zhengping."
"Sister-in-law! When did you get a dog? Why does it keep barking? It's so noisy."
