Chapter 1268: Chapter 1295: Finally Reunited 6

Nianyang let He Suzhi sit down. He Suzhi tugged at her slightly dirty clothes and whispered, looking at the bright environment in the room, "Chu Saozi, don’t be so polite. I heard that Shuliye’s wife moved here today. I’m worried you might feel uncomfortable being alone, so I thought, since we’re all part of the family compound, I should come and check on you."

Nianyang regarded this woman as someone without any secrets, and she returned a sincere smile, "Thank you, He Saozi, for your concern."

He Suzhi looked at Nianyang’s belly, "You’re pregnant? How many months?"

Nianyang gently rubbed her belly, "Four months."

He Suzhi exclaimed, "Four months? Why does it look like six months? Are you carrying twins?"

Nianyang gave a bashful smile, "I don’t know, but it seems like it."

"Chu Saozi, you’re truly blessed," He Suzhi expressed extreme envy, "If you’re having twins, there’s a good chance it’s two sons, which many people don’t even dare to imagine."

Nianyang’s smile softened, "What’s so great about having two sons? Daughters are better; they’re more obedient and clever."

"Nonsense, nonsense, you shouldn’t say that." He Suzhi reacted as if facing a foe, glaring as she spoke, "Chu Saozi, don’t be silly. What’s good about a girl? Raising a girl only benefits someone else’s family; it’s worthless. You still need sons, who can someday support a family."

Nianyang disliked this preference for sons over daughters, "He Saozi, whether sons or daughters, they’re both dear to me. Daughters can also achieve great things."

"That’s just a lie," He Suzhi sighed, "Nowadays, who doesn’t want a son? In our family compound, those who had daughters didn’t fare well; their husbands didn’t like them, always hitting and scolding, and the husband’s family held lots of resentment. Having a girl makes life hard, just like Mei Saozi who came to your house today; she’s a typical example." ℴ

Nianyang, a bit intrigued, asked, "What happened to her?"

He Suzhi lowered her voice, "She kept having daughters trying to have a son, heard that one of her daughters was born, she even killed her with her own hands."

Nianyang, who was pregnant, turned pale upon hearing this, "That’s too vicious, how could she do such a thing?"

"What can you do if girls are worthless, apart from Mei Saozi, there are many others in our family compound who keep having children hoping for a son to inherit the family business."

He Suzhi looked at Nianyang’s belly, "So you must have two sons; then you’ll definitely become one of the excellent wives in the family compound, the entire village will envy you."

Nianyang, "..."

She really didn’t want to receive an excellence award for having sons.

Nianyang casually asked, "And what about you, He Saozi? Do you have a daughter or a son?"

He Suzhi’s face darkened, "Me? I haven’t had any children yet, but I hope I can have a son."

Nianyang, "..."

Really impossible to continue communicating with a woman poisoned by old thoughts.

She showed a weary expression, "He Saozi, I’m a bit tired, let’s talk another day."

He Suzhi slapped her forehead, "Look at me, I almost forgot you’re pregnant, you can’t stay up late, I won’t disturb you then."

Saying this, she glanced at the plain porridge on the table, showing a sympathetic expression, "Chu Saozi, it’s already buzzing around the family compound that you’re very poor, almost unable to afford meals, and came over to rely on your husband. My family is poor too, but life is a bit better than yours. You’re pregnant and eating this is too lacking in nutrition, so I specially boiled eggs for you; take them and eat."
