Chapter 24: The Obsession with Having a Son
"It is a matter of course for this child to be filial to his parents, who dares to say anything, besides, now they all pay attention to the equality of men and women, this man can be filial to his parents, why can't a woman, isn't a woman raised by her mother's parents."
"Miao Miao...... Don't say this, this will be heard by people outside, who will dare to marry you in the future. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Miao Xiaomiao instantly thought of the lame husband who was violent to herself, and her body couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
"Auntie, I don't marry. In the future, I will raise you with Yunyun. ”
"What stupid things are you talking about, women will marry sooner or later."
Miao Xiaomiao knew that it was unclear to tell Li Manman about it all at once, but in order to dispel Li Manman's idea of having another child, Miao Xiaomiao could only make Li Manman change his patriarchal thinking as much as possible.
"If you don't have it, you have to have a son."
Li Manman's obsession with having a son has reached the point of being ingrained because of her mother-in-law's discrimination.
Just as the two were about to debate, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Miao Xiaomiao hurriedly stood up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Miao Xiaomiao saw her brother-in-law walk in menacingly, and when she saw a few people sitting at the table eating, her brother-in-law Tian Youliang was instantly angry.
"Okay, you, you've eaten here, don't you know if the family is still hungry?"
"Youliang, I finally came here, so I ......"
"So what, you are only caring about yourself now, there are so many people in the family, you don't care about it at all."
Miao Xiaomiao originally wanted to give her sister-in-law a little face, but listening to her brother-in-law's more and more excessive words, Miao Xiaomiao instantly became angry.
"Brother-in-law, do you have more than a dozen people in your family who don't have hands? Why do you have to wait for my aunt to come to cook a meal? ”
"Miao Miao, this is our family's family matter, don't worry about your little child's family."
"What's not a family matter, I only see a dozen people in your family, and there is not even a person who can cook, how old am I can make a table of dishes, is your family without my aunt, the whole family will starve to death?"
"Li Manman, your niece speaks so ugly, do you care?"
Tian Youliang is just a relative in the end, and being said like this by a junior is really faceless, but he has to hold the score of his elders, and he can't be angry with the juniors, so he can only vent his anger on Li Manman.
Li Manman has always been accustomed to being obedient, and because he has never given birth to a boy, he has been hit every day in his in-law's house, and at this time, Tian Youliang shouted like this, so he could only turn his head and say to Miao Xiaomiao:
"Miao Miao, don't talk about it, there are things to do in this family, and I am idle when I am a woman, and besides, this cooking is not a dirty job."
Miao Xiaomiao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Li Manman say this.
No matter how cowardly Li Manman continues, even if he lives well during childbirth in this life, he will probably be bullied to death by his in-laws like himself.
"Auntie, in that house, as far as I know, your concubine doesn't seem to have anything to do at home."
"She, isn't she going to take care of the child at home, this child is making a fuss, where can she spare her hands to cook."
"Then your old lady is not very old, why can't she cook?"
"My mother-in-law, she is an elder after all, where are the elders cooking for the juniors."
Miao Xiaomiao heard Li Manman's defense for her in-law's family, and she was almost vomiting to death.
It seems that this Li Manman wants her to escape the fate of dystocia in her previous life, and she has to find another way.
"Hey, forget it, you go back, if you don't go back, your mother-in-law's family will starve to death on your head."
Miao Xiaomiao waved her hand, looking like she hated iron but not steel.
Li Manman didn't know how his niece, who had always been well-behaved, became so sharp this time.
Several times she was asked and had nothing to say.
And Tian Youliang looked at Miao Xiaomiao's appearance, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be very unhappy about Miao Xiaomiao's confrontation with his elders today.
He turned around and walked outside, ignoring that Li Manman was still behind.
"Miao Miao, my aunt will go back first, and I will come to see you next time, you should save some money and spend some money, don't be too lazy......"
Li Manman wanted to give Miao Xiaomiao a few more words, but saw Miao Xiaomiao waving at her impatiently.
"Auntie, go back soon, if you nag here again, your family will starve to death."
Li Manman wanted to say something, but when he heard Miao Xiaomiao say this, he instantly shut up and trotted towards Tian Youliang.
After Li Manman left, Miao Xiaomiao began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Li Manman let himself save some money, Miao Xiaomiao disagreed, instead of saving, it is better to think about how to make money is the king.
She thought as she cleaned up, thinking that she would better get up early tomorrow and go to the mountains for a walk.
If she remembers correctly, there is an old pepper tree in the mountain, and because the people here don't like to eat hemp, everyone doesn't touch the pepper tree much.
And Miao Xiaomiao, as a person who has lived a lifetime, naturally knows how delicious the pepper tree is to make seasonings.
Early the next morning, Miao Xiaomiao entrusted Miao Xiaohe to Zhang Qinfen to take care of her, and she went to the mountains.
She followed the mountain road in her memory, searched for a long time, and finally found those pepper trees.
Because there is no one to pick it, and there is plenty of sunshine here, the growth of the pepper tree is really gratifying, and the dense branches are full of small red fruits.
Miao Xiaomiao picked one and put it in her mouth, and instantly felt that her mouth was numb and she didn't feel anything.
She carefully avoided the long thorns and plucked the small reddish-brown fruits with leaves into the basket.
It didn't take long for Miao Xiaomiao's back basket to be filled with a basket full of peppercorns.
At this time, the genius completely lit up, and Miao Xiaomiao quickened her pace and rushed towards the town.
Because this side is in the morning market, Miao Xiaomiao must sell the peppercorns before noon.
When Miao Xiaomiao came to the town, she did not go directly to the market, but went to the state-run hotel in the town.
Although the economy has been liberalized now, everyone has just started small businesses, and there are few restaurants.
Not to mention the larger hotels, and now the largest hotel in the town is the state-run hotel.
Miao Xiaomiao planned to go to the state-run hotel to ask first.
The chefs over there have seen a lot and are willing to try.
Miao Xiaomiao came to the door of the state-run hotel, and at a glance saw two waiters lazily wiping the table with rags, and saw Miao Xiaomiao walking in with a backpack on her back without raising her head.
"You baby, go play elsewhere, don't stop us from doing things here."
