The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 239: My husband's family didn't dislike me, but my parents did

With proper arrangements made by Chen Yiwen, all the military wives were given gifts, such as red eggs and sugar cakes, so that everyone could share in the joy.

As a mother-in-law, she was extra attentive in taking care of my baby during the confinement period. She kept bringing delicious food to our house as if it were free.

In the blink of an eye, the confinement period was over.

The two skinny kids, with the careful care, have grown up to be plump and fair. Their chubby little looks make people want to pinch them when they see them.

Chen Huaiyang paid for the canteen to prepare a sumptuous lunch to celebrate the two little ones coming out of confinement.

Now, the Chen family proved with actions that they liked the two little ones and did not have any dislike for them just because they were girls.

"Didn't you make fun of people who have two daughters earlier? Look at how well Gao Shan is doing. Her face is so rosy. You can tell at a glance that she doesn't need to worry about anything. She is taking good care of herself during the confinement period."

"We are of the same generation, but different fates. We can't even hold our heads up high when we have a daughter, but others don't have such worries and are held in the palm of their hands!"

"Stop talking so much. You can't keep your mouth shut even if you're eating. We can't figure out what rich people think. Just eat a few more bites!"

Gao Shan didn't know what others were talking about. After leaving the confinement period, she washed herself from head to toe, feeling refreshed. She smiled and said to her sister-in-law,

"Yinuo, take your grandparents out for a walk. Grandma and I can take care of the two kids. Don't stay at home all the time."

Chen Yinuo couldn't hold it in any longer. No matter how cute the little one was, he was almost suffocated by staying at home all the time. So he hugged one in each hand and took him out directly.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's go to the beach. You haven't experienced that kind of fun yet! We have to give it a try."

"Thank you for your hard work, aunt."

Chen Dongsheng's wife waved her hand, "Don't just play by yourself, you have to take good care of the two elders. If something happens, we will be in trouble."

Chen Yinuo nodded, "Make sure to complete the mission and don't let grandpa and grandma get into danger. The pillar of our family must be kept stable."

Then he picked up his tools and went out.

Some time ago, Chen Yinuo had already gone to investigate. He was familiar with the place and directly brought people to the best place for sea fishing.

He said to the two of them, "Grandpa and grandma, let me tell you, this is a place full of rewards, and it will definitely make your experience burst."

"We've never played at the beach before, so let's have fun today."

One of them handed over a bucket and tongs, "Let's have a competition to see who can get the biggest harvest?"

The little girl was chattering and seemed very energetic, which aroused the two men's desire to win.

Chen Huaiyang said, "Okay, okay, go pick it up quickly and see who is better, you or us two old guys."

Although they had never experienced the fun of catching seafood, immersing themselves in it had its own unique flavor, and the two of them enjoyed it very much.

Regardless of how much we gained, our interest was aroused.

We played until the tide came in and we didn't want to leave.

Seeing that his wife was enjoying herself, Chen Huaiyang suggested, "Stop it, go back and change your clothes, don't get sick."

On the way back, Chen Yinuo was still talking non-stop. Everyone was in high spirits. When they got home and saw Gao Shan's mother, their good mood disappeared. Gao Shan's family was not rich. She relied on her own efforts to get into the art troupe. She met Chen Yiwen at a performance and got married after their relationship became stable.

Gao's mother was used to being frugal. She came over after taking care of her daughter-in-law after she finished her confinement. When she found out that they were two daughters, she looked unhappy. I didn't know if she thought they owed her money!

It was obvious that she didn't like the two girls.

Those who cannot give birth to a son are unlucky.

He had been hoping that she would give birth to a son, but when he found out it was a girl, he couldn't hold back his emotions, pulled her into the room, and kept complaining.
"Why are you so useless? It would be good if one of the two children was a son. They are all girls. How will you gain a foothold in the Chen family in the future?"

"You are from such a wealthy family, and your father-in-law is the eldest son. There is no telling how much property he will inherit in the future. Both girls are married, so what good fortune can they have in the future?"

"You can also get infected when you give birth. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and you also gave birth to a daughter. It's really unlucky."

Gao Shan's good mood disappeared at this moment. Her face was stern and she looked unhappy. Her mother has always favored boys over girls, and the reason she allowed her to go to college was purely for the sake of face.

When she gets married, she is asked to curry favor with the Chen family, win over their hearts and minds, and strive to get more subsidies for her small family.

They don't live together normally, so Gao Shan just tries to fool people.

Now that they are together, conflicts arise, but her mother has come all the way to see her, and she can't chase her away, so she can only keep it to herself.

When the grandfather and his two grandchildren came back, they felt that something was wrong with the eldest son's wife. After asking about it and knowing what happened, they all remained silent.

During the meal, Gao's mother was criticizing, saying that it was too extravagant and wasteful, and that they should be more frugal in their daily lives, otherwise how could the family live a good life?
Chen Huaiyang frowned. It had been many years since anyone had told him what to do. He felt uncomfortable listening to what Gao's mother said.

Although she didn't say it in front of him, and just took her daughter back to the room to chat, her voice was quite loud and her daughter-in-law heard it. How could he not know?
If you don’t know, you might think that the Chen family is very stingy. They would be disgusted by a daughter and would not be satisfied until they have a son to inherit the family business.

Chen Huaiyang tried to hold it back but couldn't hold it back any longer. He didn't like to get himself into trouble and would solve problems on the spot.

"My dear relatives, the child has just been born, so he must eat well to take care of his body. Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die. Eat when you should, drink when you should."

"The young couple's financial resources are not enough, but they still have family members to subsidize them. They can eat whatever they want, so there is no need to be timid. My Chen family can still afford to raise a few children."

"You can develop any habits at home, but here you should follow the preferences of young people. You have to eat well to have strength. Gao Shan also spent a lot of energy on giving birth, so you need to replenish it."

"Gao Shan is a good girl. Don't always give her bad ideas. Even if she is a girl, she is also the child of our Chen family. There is no such thing as disdain. We raise them all the same."

"Have you seen Yinuo? Even though she is a girl, she has enjoyed the enjoyment she deserves."

"My two great-granddaughters will be great in the future, and no one can take away their share."

Gao's mother was called out on the spot. Chen Huaiyang was older than her, so her face froze for a moment. Finally, she smiled and said,

"The old man is right. I was thinking the wrong thing. I'm just afraid that you guys don't like this girl."

Chen Huaiyang wanted to say something else, but Yang Xiaolin clapped her hands and took over the conversation.

"Gao Shan is a considerate child. As long as she manages her family well, we as the elders will be relieved."

"My old man is quite straightforward, please don't be offended, I am old and tired after walking around, why don't you come back to the guesthouse with us to rest?"
