Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Huaming has three daughters and one son, which can be regarded as having both sons and daughters.
But Lao Yang's family knew full well that Kang Xiaozi was not Yang Huaming's son at all.
Kang Xiaozi was conceived by Liu and Yang Huaming's eldest brother Yang Hua'an. Moreover, Kang Xiaozi was born with a cleft lip and a hare lip. In the eyes of the villagers, Kang Xiaozi was nothing more than a freak.
I heard that in some other villages, giving birth to a child like this is considered a bad omen.
They will be sent away by their parents, or expelled by relatives, friends or people in the village.
But Kang Xiaozi was lucky enough to be born into Old Yang's family. Old Yang and the others were not the kind of people who would give away their children. Moreover, when Kang Xiaozi was born, Yang Ruoqing's business had already started, and Luo Fengtang was also in the southern military camp. Start building a career.
The entire Old Yang family followed the rising tide, and their prestige in the village increased. They attracted several village elders and the then Li Zheng Wang Hongtao, so naturally no one would jump out and say that they wanted to expel Kang Xiaozi.
"What's wrong with Mr. Kang? Isn't Mr. Kang a descendant of the Yang family?"
Here, when she heard that Yang Huaming was making trouble for Kang Xiaozi, Mrs. Liu held her neck and defended.
The words and tone he spoke were clearly stern and internal.
Yang Huaming sneered and looked at Mrs. Liu with disdain. This stupid woman could pretend to be stupid, but the little sense he had reminded him not to lift this fig leaf.
If you expose it, you will lose not only your own face, but also the face of the entire Old Yang family.
Here, Mrs. Tan spoke up again and directly scolded Mrs. Liu: "As long as it is from our old Yang family, we, the old Yang family, are rare. This is the case for Mr. Kang, and the same is true for the baby in Xiaojuan's belly."
"When a woman marries into her husband's family, the most important thing is to give birth to children for the man and flourish her life."
"No family would dislike having too many children. Fourth daughter-in-law, it seems you won't be able to give birth to one at this age."
"The fourth child is still young and strong, so the more sons the better. Since you can't have one, don't stop other women from giving birth to him."
"That is to say, our farmers don't have much money, and it is difficult to raise a wife and children. But in a wealthy family, a wife will take the initiative to find a wife for a man after she is twenty-five years old, and there is no need for a man to remind her!"
Liu laughed at Tan's words.
She was so craving for food that she put down the chopsticks in her hand for the first time and looked up at Mrs. Tan.
"What Zhao Niang said, does that mean I'm ignorant?"
"Okay, now that my mother is talking about it, let's talk about it openly!"
Mrs. Liu glanced at Yang Huazhou and Bao Suyun over there, and then landed directly on Bao Suyun.
"Fifth brother and sister, you are already over twenty-five years old. The fifth child has only one son, Dabao, whom you brought from your mother's family."
"My family blames me for being jealous of Xiaojuan. You must remember the lessons I taught my fourth sister-in-law, be smarter, and quickly find a wife for the fifth to give birth to a son!" Mrs. Liu said.
Bao Suyun was there to greet Mrs. Sun and others to eat. She raised her chopsticks and was about to pick up the dishes for Baby Luo. When she suddenly heard Mrs. Liu's words, Bao Suyun's face turned pale.
With a flick of the chopsticks, a fish ball that had just risen fell to the table.
Beside them, Sun and others frowned, and Yang Huazhou stood up in anger.
Yang Huazhou was about to speak out when a crisp female voice spoke before him.
"Fourth Aunt, you are responsible for being disciplined by me. If you are filial, just listen. Why turn your anger on Fifth Aunt?"
The person who spoke was none other than Yang Ruoqing among the grandchildren.
Yang Ruoqing had put down her chopsticks and was looking at Mr. Liu with a half-smile.
"It is said that the mouth of the cannibal is short and the hands of the taker are short. Today, the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt have kindly invited us to come over and have such a sumptuous meal. No matter how unhappy you are, you can't drag the fifth aunt into jumping into the trap together?"
"Do you think that by turning the blame on the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt, nothing will happen to you?" she asked again.
This word and word hit the nail on the head, revealing all Liu's worries.
He also said everything that the others at the table were thinking in their minds but could not express because of their face.
Mrs. Liu sat there, moved her butt a few times, and her face turned red.
Ju'er also had black lines on her head, and she lowered her voice to persuade Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu didn't take Ju'er's advice into consideration at all, let alone Yang Huaming's warning look in his eyes.
She curled her lips and muttered: "Your grandma cares about our fourth brother, and I, as my sister-in-law, care about my younger brother and sister-in-law. Your grandma is kind-hearted, and I am also kind-hearted. How can you say that you are dragging your fifth aunt into a trap, Qing'er? I really can’t speak!”
Still arguing?
Yang Ruoqing sneered.
She put down the chopsticks in her hand and continued: "The situation in each room is different. When the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt will have children, they will naturally have their own plans. Why bother if you just take the carrot and worry about it?"
At this point, Yang Huazhou couldn't bear it any longer and said in a loud voice: "Qing'er is right. Fourth sister-in-law, our old Yang family has been separated for a long time. You don't have to worry about Suyun and I. You Just mind your own business!"
"There is also Dabao. Since he changed his name to Yang, he is my legitimate eldest son, Yang Huazhou. He will provide for me in the future."
"It would be better for the fourth sister-in-law to say less about what she said earlier. Those who don't know the inside story may think that the fourth sister-in-law is trying to sow discord between Dabao and I!"
Yang Huazhou was not polite at all and did not give Liu any face.
Ms. Liu's face turned pale with anger and she sat there gritting her teeth.
Although Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhou worked together to block the Liu family, Liu's previous words still left traces on the hearts of old Yangtou and Tan.
As the two elders who value their children the most, the issue of the fifth house has always been on the minds of the couple.
Old Yang wanted to talk to Yang Huazhou several times about this matter, but Yang Huazhou had been in Qing'an County for a long time and it was difficult to catch him.
At this moment, when Old Yangtou heard this, his thoughts were aroused again. He glanced at Yang Huazhou and Bao Suyun gloomily, with obvious displeasure on his face.
But seeing the table full of people, with four generations living under the same roof, Lao Yangtou was a little hesitant to say it at the table.
While Lao Yangtou was hesitating, Mr. Tan, who was sitting next to him, didn't care that much.
"Although the fourth daughter-in-law's words are unpleasant, she also speaks the truth." Mrs. Tan said.
"Even if the fourth wife, the fourth daughter-in-law, Lao Zhuhuang, is unable to give birth, at least she is still pregnant with Xiaojuan."
These words once again made Mrs. Liu secretly spit out a mouthful of blood. Even if this blind old woman scolded the fifth house, she still had to take her with her. The old thing would have to die a good death!
While Ms. Liu was cursing secretly in her heart, Ms. Tan continued to scold Wu Fang.
"Lao Wu, you are not young anymore. You have a deep relationship with Dabao. We don't care, but you have to have a son to pass on the incense. Otherwise, your father and I will not be worried when we get down there a hundred years from now!"
After hearing what Tan said, Yang Huazhou was not as angry as he was with Liu just now. Instead, the man grinned, as if he was very happy.
