The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 18 Helplessness

"Mom, it’s not a big grandson, it’s a granddaughter. Look how beautiful the child is, fair and clean. She’ll definitely grow up to be a pretty little girl."

Qin Dazhuang picked up his daughter and showed her to Liu Ladi.

Liu Ladi’s face quickly changed.

A face like a dark cloud, "What? Not a grandson? How can it not be a grandson? Didn’t they say sour means a boy, spicy means a girl? Your wife carries a vinegar bottle all day, how did she give birth to a girl? Impossible!"

"It’s true, Mom. It’s a daughter. I named her Nuonuo. Our Nuonuo is really obedient."

Qin Dazhuang was fond of his daughter.

Liu Ladi gave Jiang Xin a fierce glare, "Bringer of bad luck!"

Then she turned and walked away.

She didn’t care about saving any face at all.

Jiang Xin’s face darkened. Her mother-in-law was like this, even when her own sister was here. No regard for her family at all, so disrespectful.

It wasn’t just slapping her own face, it was also slapping her family’s face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao squeezed her second sister’s hand, gently shaking it with a smile on her face.

"Second sister, look how cute Nuonuo is! She’s even blowing bubbles!"

Jiang Xin felt relieved, thinking her younger sister was still young and didn’t really understand.

At least it wasn’t her own mother here; if Fan Xiuying were, there would probably be a fight.

"She is cute. You used to do the same, blowing bubbles from time to time. Dad and Mom said you were fish-like."

Talking about her daughter made Jiang Xin forget the unpleasantness just now.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "I am fish-like, and so is our little niece! She and I share the same zodiac sign. Nuonuo, you must try hard to be as beautiful as your aunt, and smart and lovely too. Aunt loves you the most."

Unexpectedly, Nuonuo’s bubble burst suddenly, then she widened her big round eyes and made a sound like "mm, mm" from her mouth.

As if responding to Jiang Xiaoxiao, it amused both Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Qin Dazhuang came back looking utterly hopeless.

His mother had just scolded him harshly outside.

She began her old, familiar cycle of complaints.

Qin Dazhuang felt like his head was about to explode.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stayed with her second sister, coaxing the child.

By the afternoon, Fan Xiuying had already brought chicken soup to the hospital. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She not only brought chicken soup but also millet congee and boiled eggs. For them, this was nourishing postpartum food.

But in these times, having millet congee and eggs wasn’t easy.

Their family had already run out long ago, so Fan Xiuying had borrowed some from the neighbors. She managed to get some tickets from familiar families to buy millet and eggs, because her daughter needed postpartum care, and she couldn’t ignore that.

If others didn’t care, she obviously had to care for her daughter, who had just given birth, and needed to eat well.

Fan Xiuying didn’t see anyone from the Qin family and was puzzled, "Dazhuang, didn’t your mom come?"

It was impossible for her son’s wife to give birth and for her not to come.

Qin Dazhuang blushed, "Mom, my mom... did come."

Like a shy young woman, Qin Dazhuang didn’t know what to say.

After all, it was his mother.

How could he say his mom got angry and left just because a girl was born?

Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke up for him.

"Mom, sister’s mother-in-law was really fierce. After she came, she just threw a ’bringer of bad luck’ and left. I saw her scold brother-in-law quite harshly. Mom, isn’t sister’s mother-in-law angry just because second sister had a daughter? Doesn’t the government advocate gender equality? Isn’t having a son or daughter the same?"

She just didn’t fear stirring things up.

Jiang Xin was speechless, her sister...

"Mom, it’s okay, my mother-in-law is just like that!"

"Your mother-in-law is something else, Dazhuang, your mom is wrong here. It’s not like there isn’t a grandson in the family, what’s wrong with having a granddaughter? Yet, such a face and calling bad names! Who talks like this? It’s not like you can’t have more kids. Many have daughters first and then sons. This is a good sign. If you dare follow your mom’s feudal ideas, I won’t spare you."

Fan Xiuying had to stand up for her daughter, otherwise, if the son-in-law bullied her daughter too, it’d be too much misery.

Fan Xiuying had suffered from this before. She had two daughters first. Didn’t she see her own mother-in-law smashing pots and bowls, making her suffer?

Qin Dazhuang quickly expressed, "Mom, I’m not like that! Sons and daughters are the same to me! I like them all. Daughters are great too! I definitely won’t, it’s just my mom’s old thinking. Don’t be upset, she just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I will surely take good care of Jiang Xin and the baby. I will never mistreat Jiang Xin."

Almost swearing an oath.

Fan Xiuying sighed, everyone came through it step by step like this.

One couldn’t just stop living because of this.

As Jiang Xin’s birth family, they could only care a bit more for their daughter.

If they didn’t care, who would?

Jiang Xin grabbed Fan Xiuying’s hand, "Mom, I’m fine, I’m not angry, and neither should you. Mom, you should go back, you’ve had a long day. Xiaoxiao should go home with Mom too. It’s enough with Dazhuang here with me. Besides, the doctor said I’m recovering well. We’ll be discharged in a few days, so don’t worry."

She didn’t want her mom staying here, who could look and not get angry?

Fan Xiuying watched her daughter finish eating. After making sure Qin Dazhuang cleaned everything up, she took her youngest daughter home.

Sighing all the way.

Because nowadays, people all wanted boys.

If unable to have a son, it’s like the saying goes, a hen that doesn’t lay eggs.

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt for Fan Xiuying; her parents had spent their entire lives worrying about their four children.

Back home.

Jiang Honest and Jiang Lei were in the house.

Jiang Honest had cooked, knowing his wife took their daughter to the hospital.

Their second daughter had a baby, naturally knowing the mother and daughter wouldn’t have eaten.

Nowadays, men at home had no choice but to cook.

In the past, they were dual-income families. Whoever got home first would cook.

As soon as his wife returned, he quickly served the food.

"Congee and steamed buns, eat up. How about it? Did Jiang Xin have a boy or a girl?"

Jiang Lei had no idea.

Fan Xiuying, eating and feeling gloomy, responded.

"She had a girl. Didn’t you see her mother-in-law turn hostile immediately upon hearing it was a girl and just walked away, not caring at all? I feel so bad. How is she not going to suffer at home during postpartum?"

A mother worries about her own daughter.

Jiang Honest had no words. He was worried about his daughter! But he couldn’t say the in-laws were wrong.

Currently, it’s not just one family favoring boys over girls.

Every household is like this.

It couldn’t be definitively said who’s right or wrong.

"Sigh! You should go often. In the next few days, I’ll go over the chicken farm route and see if I can get some eggs for our daughter and get a couple of chickens. Uncle Baohe will surely have some set aside for us. Remember to take money for me."

Jiang Honest’s only advantage was getting along well with everyone, being amicable with all, and always willing to lend a hand.

Such an advantage meant sometimes not needing tickets, and even at the least cost, he could get some things.

Like eggs, for example, that were one cent cheaper per egg than outside.

That was quite a remarkable skill.
