I just want to live in peace

Chapter 31 31. It's okay to hold a son
Sun Xiangyang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect his daughter-in-law Ye Xiaodan to know about the 2 yuan he secretly gave to his parents, but he didn't bother with him until today when this topic was brought up.At the beginning, when his parents asked him for money and wanted to take it to the second child's family, he also had opinions in his heart.However, his father told him that Mingxu was the eldest grandson of their old grandson's family, and he had to add color, and he couldn't let Mingxu's grandparents look down on their old grandson's family, so he reluctantly agreed.The daughter-in-law has remembered this matter for so many years, and she must blame him in her heart. He was a little at a loss and lowered his head.

Just as Sun Xiangquan was about to speak, his daughter-in-law Zhang Jing grabbed him and dared not speak.

Zhang Jing turned her face away. When her mother-in-law gave her money, she still had a little disdain for her in-laws' things and money.When friends around her get married, their in-laws all prepare wedding rooms and luxury cars. After giving birth, they all give 3 and [-] red envelopes, and the in-laws give [-].Looking at it now, the family background of the in-law's family is like this. Compared with the elder sister-in-law Ye Xiaodan, the mother-in-law has given her a lot.She couldn't help feeling superior, and continued to coax her daughter Mingrui.

Father Sun heard the eldest daughter-in-law repaying them, and shouted: "Mingxu is a boy, so we give him so much money. How much money we give him is ultimately our old Sun's own. The meat rotted in a pot. Others can't take it away. It's also because of this that I want you to have a boy. When you have a boy in the future, you will know that the girl belongs to someone else's family, and only the boy belongs to your own family. This family can be passed down from generation to generation. "

Xixi wailed loudly and was about to walk out when she was hugged by Ye Xiaodan.Sun Mingrui was coaxed into tears by her parents, but when she heard what her grandfather said, she burst into tears again.

Ye Xiaodan looked at each other angrily: "Dad, did you say that? Xixi and Ruirui are both your granddaughters, how can you exclude them like this?"

Sun Xiangyang and Sun Xiangquan also said: "Dad, you are going too far. Now men and women are equal."

Father-in-law was opposed by his daughter-in-law and son at the same time, but he still had his own idea and shouted: "Equality! Men and women can never be equal. If women want to give birth to men, they have to wash clothes, cook and serve men. Start a career outside to support the family. We Xiangyang marry you, and if you don’t have a son, won’t Xiangyang’s branch be broken when he comes to him? You have to have a boy, and it has to be a boy! Don’t you want to be honest? You Uncle and Aunt Tang gave you money some time later, but you didn’t do it, saying that honesty is greater than heaven. Xiangyang promised me before that he would give me a second child and a grandson, so you must fulfill your promise and give me a boy as soon as possible .”

Xixi cried out of breath.

Ye Xiaodan trembled angrily: "Dad, this is not an agricultural society. The family does not need to do farm work, and girls are just as independent and capable as boys."

Father Sun spat and said disdainfully: "Sun Xiangyang, do you agree with your wife's words? From ancient times to the present, in China, men have always had the final say. Men have three wives and four concubines outside, and women should listen to their husbands. In the past The women are so virtuous, even if the man in the family has an illegitimate child outside, he is willing to take the child home and raise it himself."

When Ye Xiaodan heard this, he felt unbelievable: "Dad, that's not virtuous, it's ignorance! Could it be that you want Sun Xiangyang to find a woman outside to bring a son back?"

Father Sun squinted at her: "If you insist on not having a second child, it's not impossible to do so."

Sun's mother patted her grandson Sun Mingxu in her arms, and added: "The wife of the family in the east of the village couldn't have a child, so the man in his family went outside to find a son and gave birth to a son. His wife looked at the child like Bao'er." of."

"Mom!" Brothers Sun Xiangyang and Sun Xiangquan looked at his mother, dumbfounded, "Stop saying a few words!"

Ye Xiaodan took a deep breath: "Mom, the man you mentioned committed bigamy, his wife can go to the public security department to sue him, and he will go to jail. Do you hope that Xiang Yang will also go to jail one day?"

Mama Sun's eyelids blinked a few times, her mouth flattened and she dared not speak any more.

Sun Xiangyang sighed, and Sun Xiangquan pursed his lips happily.

Father Sun snorted: "The daughter-in-law dared to contradict her mother-in-law like this. In the past, she would have been divorced."

Ye Xiaodan turned to him: "Dad, you want Xiang Yang to have three wives and four concubines and live a flaunting life like the men before. I have no objection, and I think that's good. Xiang Yang can also raise three wives and four concubines outside now."

Xixi stopped crying and looked at her mother in surprise: "Mom, do you really not care that Dad has other women?"

"I don't care. However, before your father has three wives and four concubines, he must have at least six large houses."

Sun Xiangyang also felt that his daughter-in-law really didn't care, and was completely speechless when he heard her words.Giving up one house will almost kill him, and six houses will be returned!
Ye Xiaodan looked at Dad Sun and said, "Dad, if Xiangyang wants to have three wives and four concubines, he has to prepare a house for each of those women! As the first wife, I have at least one more house than them. Moreover, I have to be like the previous wife. My wife is like a servant and maid. I don’t ask for too much. Two nannies are enough. I also want to wear diamond jewelry and designer jewelry like my previous wife. I want my fingers to be clean. If you can do it You can do whatever you like, I don't have any opinions."

Grandpa Sun glared at her, saw her stare straight back, and said helplessly: "I just said that you gave birth to a boy, and didn't say anything else. Men have an advantage over women in gender! Does the child have to follow Xiangyang’s surname? It’s useless to say anything else. This custom has been passed down in China for thousands of years. A family must be supported by a man. Without a man, the family will be broken and there will be no way to pass on the family.”

Sun Xiangquan called: "Dad, what time is it, you still talk about passing on the family line? Boys and girls are the same. The mothers say that women hold up half the sky. Why do you have to favor boys over girls when you come here? Thousands of years of struggle , Chinese women have finally stood up, your words will send girls back to the feudal society."

Grandpa waved his hand: "Don't tell me these things are useless. I know that only boys can inherit the family business and continue the incense. Only during the festivals can we comfort our ancestors."

Ye Xiaodan asked, "Dad, what's your grandpa's name?"

Grandpa was tongue-tied.

Sun Xiangquan called: "Dad, counting up to three generations, you don't know, you still want to carry on the family and continue the incense!"

Father Sun was at a loss for words, so he could only insist: "Xiang Yang promised me that he would give birth to a grandson for me."

Ye Xiaodan and his daughter Xixi looked at Sun Xiangyang at the same time.

Sun Xiangyang was anxious: "Dad, you have misinterpreted my meaning. I mean that when the time is right, I will consider having a second child with Xiao Dan. I did not promise you that I must give you a grandson. Besides, even if you have a second child, you must have a second child." Is it guaranteed to give birth to a boy? Besides, Xiaodan and I are getting older now, and our bodies can’t afford to have another child.”

Mama Sun interrupted: "You guys are still old? It was reported on TV that there is an old couple who are 70 years old and have a second daughter!"

Sun Xiangquan joked: "Parents, why don't you two have another one, anyway, you are under 70 years old."

"Get out!" Father Sun took off his shoes and threw him.

Sun Xiangyang said softly: "Mom and Dad, we really don't have the energy to have a second child right now, so don't rush."

Ye Xiaodan breathed a sigh of relief, and Xixi also stopped sobbing.

Grandpa jumped up: "You don't want a boy, do you just wait for others to eat your dead family?"

Sun Xiangyang shook his head: "In what age, do you still have to live in poverty? Besides, what do we have in our family? Just a house and a little savings, not enough for me and Xiaodan to take care of. The house we live in will be left to Xixi after a hundred years Man, is it possible that my brother's children are still thinking about our family's property?"

Sun Xiangquan and Zhang Jing shook their heads quickly.

Sun Xiangquan said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, we haven't thought about it that way, don't say that we are not short of money, even if our life is difficult, we will not hit your ideas. Ming Xu was talking nonsense just now, don't you Don't take it to heart."

Sun Mingxu poked his head out of Sun's mother's arms: "I'm not talking nonsense, everything in the Sun family is mine, and I can't give it to others." He burst into tears.
