Chapter 1326 - Bustling and Lively Home (3)
From Sidekick to Bigshot
Inside the Zhai familyâs large living room, everyone sat together to discuss the two-week-old embryo inside Jian Yilingâs belly.
âYiling, I hope your first baby is a girl,â Grandma Jian happily said to Jian Yiling.
As Grandma Jian was already rather old, she was looking forward to the birth of the next generation. She wasnât as stubborn as Jian Shuxing.
Jian Yiling was already married to Zhai Yunsheng. Having a baby was definitely something that was going to happen.
What she wanted right now was an adorable and cuddly great-granddaughter.
She already had a great-grandson so that wasnât special anymore.
Furthermore, if her darling granddaughter was giving birth to a child, her baby would definitely be absolutely adorable.
Perhaps, her baby would look incredibly similar to her.
âOld lady, what are you saying? The first child should be a boy,â Grandpa Jian said. He disagreed with his wifeâs words.
âDonât you like girls? Do you not like Yiling?â Grandma Jian asked. She didnât like what she was hearing.
âItâs completely not related to that. It has nothing to do with whether I like girls or boys more. The Zhai family needs a male child to inherit the family business. Hence, itâs more secure to have a boy as the first child,â Grandpa Jian explained. His thinking was rather traditional.
He still somewhat believed that men were more suited to looking after businesses.
Naturally, Grandma Jian did not approve of his words: âOld man, are you saying girls canât inherit family businesses? Whatâs wrong with getting a man to marry into the Zhai family in the future? Is your brain rusty or something?â
......
When Master Zhai heard the old couple arguing, he hurriedly acted as a peacemaker: âItâs okay, itâs okay. Theyâre both good. A boy or girl can inherit our Zhai familyâs legacy!â
Master Zhai didnât mind if Jian Yilingâs baby was a boy or girl.
He would be happy with either.
But then, Master Zhai added: âBut one child isnât good enough. Itâd be best to have more.â
Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng said, âJust one is enough.â
Just one was enough to make him stressed for ten months.
If this happened a few more times, he might end up dying early from stress.
âHow can that be enough?â Master Zhai complained. âWe can afford to have more children! Even if you have eight or nine children, I can afford to look after them!â
âIt will be hard on Yilingâs body.â
This was not a matter of money.
Childbirth was an incredibly painful thing. Zhai Yunsheng did not want Yiling to hurt herself.
âThenâ¦â Master Zhai started. He realized that he was being a bit greedy. He needed to care about Yiling more. âThen four.â
Having four children would always be possible.
âOne,â Zhai Yunsheng insisted again.
âThree, no less!â Master Zhai bargained.
Grandma Jian interrupted: âWhat are you two doing? This is Yilingâs decision to make! Itâs not up to you!â
The Jian brothers also agreed with this.
Jian Yunnao: âThatâs right! Yiling has the say in this!â
Jian Yuncheng: âIf Yiling doesnât want children, then she doesnât need to have a single child. However, if Yiling wants more children, her husband has to cooperate.â
Jian Yunmo: âI can take care of Yilingâs health. Itâs fine if she wants more children.â
Upon hearing this, Master Zhai hurriedly nodded: âYes, yes. Itâs Yilingâs decision. Our opinions donât count.â
Then, everyone focused their attention on Jian Yiling.
