Yang Ruoqing said: "Let me imagine, if the third cousin gave birth to a girl, my grandparents probably wouldn't have anything to say."
"If the third cousin gave birth to a boy, do you think my grandparents would remain indifferent?" she asked.
What is the biggest characteristic of Lao Yangtou and Tan?
Yes, boys are preferred over girls.
If the third cousin gives birth to a son this time, he will be the first male in the fourth generation of Lao Yangtou.
Because Yang Yongjin’s first child was a girl, he didn’t know when his second child would be.
As for Yang Yongxian, it will take two years to get married.
Although Yang Ruoqing herself is pregnant and about to give birth, no matter whether she is a boy or a girl, in the eyes of Old Yangtou and Tan, they are all great-grandsons or great-granddaughters.
The word "foreign" is added in front, and the meaning is different in the eyes of the old couple. It is a descendant of the old Luo family.
Therefore, if the third cousin has a boy or a girl this time, Lao Yangtou and the others will definitely pay attention, even if the second brother deliberately doesn't say anything.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, the women in the kitchen all showed guessing expressions.
Sun said: "I don't think Yongjin can hide this matter. The two towns are adjacent to each other. Many young wives near our village are also married from there. The third niece has a son and a half daughter. Sooner or later, news of this matter will be spread back to Changping Village and to the ears of your grandparents."
Da Sun said: "Just pass it back, what are you afraid of?"
"Yongzhi has gone to marry someone else and left the old Yang family's house."
"The eldest daughter-in-law, Yongxian's daughter-in-law, Xiuxin, will not enter the house for two years. In the past two years, the eldest daughter has been in charge of our eighth sister."
"When Xiu Xin comes in two years later, she won't be able to pry away our eighth sister's position," said Da Sun.
Cao Bamei glared at the eldest Sun, and said: "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? People will think that I am restless when they hear it later. Isn't it just a family? How many properties does it have? As for fighting for power and wealth?"
Da Sun glared at Cao Bamei: "You don't understand!"
"Even if your eldest brother doesn't have any property, the eldest brother and his brothers still need to have a leader."
"Now, the leader of Dafang is Yongjin, so you have the final say, and you will have the most prestige among the sisters-in-law."
"But if you want to keep this prestige for a long time, you have to have a son yourself."
"Otherwise, in the future, if Yongxian's wife Xiuxin comes in, your second wife will really lose power in her son's lifetime." said the eldest Sun.
Cao Bamei smiled there, "Sister-in-law, I know you are doing it for my own good, but you don't even look at it. We are a farmer."
"This is not one of those big families with a bunch of farms and shops. Brothers and sisters should respect and love each other, like Qing'er's mother."
"You will teach me bad things. If I don't listen, I will take Xiuxiu outside to bask in the sun."
As expected, Cao Bamei came out of the kitchen holding Xiu Xiu.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun looked at Cao Bamei's back and curled her lips.
"This silly girl is always short-sighted. When she suffers a loss later, she will know that my words are useful. Then she will cry!" Dasun said.
Mrs. Sun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, you are really worrying too much. Eighth sister is right, our old Yang family is not that big of a family."
"What's more, Dafang, there are only three brothers left."
"That embroidered heart is something that you can't fight for at first glance. Although Yongqing is a little older than Qing'er, she still has to be behind Yongxian when she gets married."
"Our eighth sister, no one in Lao Yang's family dares to bully her!" said Sun.
Da Sun said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. In families with many sons, they all have daughters-in-law. This status is different."
"You yourself came here as someone else's daughter-in-law, so you understand it best."
"Among the five daughters-in-law, which daughter-in-law is most blamed for Qing'er's milk? Which daughter-in-law is the one who beats and scolds casually?" asked the eldest Sun.
Sun was speechless.
Thinking about it this way, the former second sister-in-law Yang had the most respect in front of the old lady.
He has never done any work in the fields and has been staying in the town.
The other four are not so good.
Da Sun continued, "You yourself are a good old man who doesn't fight or steal. It's useless to tell you this."
"Qing'er, you've been listening on the sidelines and haven't said a word yet. Now you're here to judge Li'er. Auntie, I'm worried about whether you care or not!"
The eldest Sun turned his attention to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, then smiled.
She, a melon-eater, is also going to be involved?
"Actually, I agree with what my aunt said." Yang Ruoqing put the remaining half of the melon seeds in the small plate beside her, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
"There is a saying that even though a sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs."
"Even if there are several daughters-in-law from a farmer's family, there are still leaders. This has nothing to do with the family's wealth."
"However, there is one good thing about our old Yang family, and that is that we are separated."
"So auntie doesn't have to be so nervous. The eighth sister is kind-hearted and simple."
"If the three daughters-in-law of the big house have trouble getting along in the future if they live under the same roof, then we can separate and start a new family, just like my father and several uncles. Everyone can live their own lives according to their own abilities."
"At that time, the one who has lived the best life will naturally become the object of respect and pursuit by others." Yang Ruoqing said.
Sun nodded, "Qing'er is right. In the end, everyone has to rely on their own abilities."
Mrs. Sun was also thinking, "Well, it seems that it really makes sense! Ha, our Qing'er is the best. With a few words, I dispelled my worries."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry too much, or you will get wrinkles and age prematurely."
Mrs. Sun sighed, "What are you afraid of? What woman is not old?"
Yang Ruoqing said again: "Auntie, if you really have that kind of leisure, go and communicate with my grandmother. She doesn't know what's going on. Years ago, she suddenly mentioned that she wanted to go back to Sunjiagou, which made my mother sad. For several days.”
"What? Are you still mentioning this?" asked Da Sun.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "If you don't believe it, ask my mother."
Mrs. Sun then cast her gaze on Mrs. Sun, "What did my mother say? Tell me."
Mrs. Sun then told Mrs. Sun what Mrs. Sun had said years ago.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun sighed.
"Mom, she is really getting old, so she is thinking about the land in Sunjiagou." Mrs. Sun said.
Mrs. Sun said: "My natal family originally belonged to Sunjiagou, but later there was a famine and it was all gone."
"She married my father there, and our sisters were both born and raised there. It's only natural for my mother to have feelings for Sunjiagou," she said.
"I always thought that Mom was very happy staying here these past two years, but now I think that maybe Mom is not what we see in her heart."
"Sister, what should I do? I really have no idea." Sun said.
Mrs. Sun waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Sunjiagou, we won't go back to build a house or anything else."
