On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

"Tongtong, wake up."

The old lady waved at Haitong, motioning her to come over.

Without her waving, every time Haitong went downstairs, as long as she saw her mother-in-law and grandmother sitting in the hall, she would go over and chat with them first.

"Grandma, Mom."

Haitong called out sweetly.

He also greeted Su Teng and Cheng Qin.

Su Teng nodded in response, while Cheng Qin smiled and said, "Haitong, long time no see."

Her eyes fell on Haitong's bulging belly and asked, "When is the baby due?"

"The end of May in the Gregorian calendar."

Cheng Qin calculated the time in his mind and said with a smile, "There are still more than three months."

She looked at Haitong's belly, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Haitong sat down on the other side of the old lady.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were sitting on the long sofa. Zhan Yin had no seat and could only sit on a single sofa.

"Miss Cheng, just say whatever you want to say."

Seeing that Cheng Qin hesitated to speak, Hai Tong spoke gently, telling Cheng Qin not to worry that she would be angry.

Everyone looked at Cheng Qin.

Cheng Qin felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, she said: "It's nothing, I just work in a martial arts gym, I often see children's parents, I often see pregnant women, I summed up some experience, I see Haitong's belly, nine out of ten times she is pregnant with a boy."

"If I tell other people they are pregnant with boys, they will definitely be happy. But the situation at Zhan Shao's home is, well, a little different. I'm afraid if I tell you, you will all be unhappy. Zhan Shao, everyone is hoping that Hai Tong will give birth to a girl, right?"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Qin laughed and said, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. Our generation of young people doesn't favor boys over girls."

Everyone: "..."

Hai Tong was the first to speak. She smiled and said, "It's not something we women can decide whether to have a boy or a girl. Regardless of whether I give birth to a son or a daughter, Zhan Yin has to accept it. This is his child."

Zhan Yin quickly replied: "I don't favor girls over boys, it's grandma who does."

The old lady glared at her grandson, coughed twice, and said, "I have waited so long for my great-grandson. I like him no matter if he is a boy or a girl. Of course, I would be even happier if he is a great-grandgirl. But I don't favor girls over boys. Do you have any evidence to prove that I favor girls over boys?"

Tang Junye muttered quietly: "That's because Mom didn't have the chance to favor girls over boys."

She didn't have a daughter, and none of her daughters-in-law had a daughter either, so she had no granddaughter.

If all her great-grandchildren were still boys, the old lady would never be able to fulfill her wish throughout her life.

It's just that there is no chance to favor girls over boys.

The old lady tilted her head and glared at her daughter-in-law.

Haitong burst out laughing, and Cheng Qin couldn't help laughing either.

Su Teng wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of being "retaliated" by the old lady afterwards, so he had to hold it back.

Being stared at by his mother-in-law, Tang Junye straightened his back and became more confident: "Mom, you are staring at me like this, and I am not wrong. Mom just doesn't have the opportunity to favor girls over boys. If you have a daughter or granddaughter, you will definitely favor girls over boys."

There is no chance to favor girls over boys, so you can only love your children and grandchildren forever.

The old lady patted her daughter-in-law and complained, "Why don't I have a chance? It's because you don't live up to your expectations. Why do you give birth to so many boys? A fair and tender girl would be so cute, but you don't even give me a granddaughter."

"Look how cute Jun Yan is. Every time I see the little girl, I want to steal her back and raise her. The old lady of the Jun family is guarding against me like a thief when she sees me now. She's afraid that I will really steal her great-granddaughter. She already has a daughter."

The old lady really envied Old Lady Jun. She had a daughter. Although there were no girls in her grandchildren's generation, she had Jun Yan in her great-grandchildren's generation. The little girl was really cute, easy to take care of, and didn't cry easily.

She had lived for more than eighty years, and this was the first time she had seen a child as easy to take care of as Junyan.

Tang Junye muttered, "Can we be blamed for this? Didn't Mom herself not have a daughter? It would be great if she had a daughter herself. Mom didn't adopt a daughter when she was young to change her life. Maybe we could have a daughter in our generation."

The old lady: "...Do you think I don't want to? When I was young, a friend of mine had several daughters. I fell in love with one of them and wanted to bring her home to raise as my own daughter. But after I brought her home, I raised her for less than half a year and she almost lost her life. She was always sick and tortured to the point of being half dead."

"I had no choice but to take the baby back to her biological mother. Strangely enough, the baby stopped getting sick and recovered a month later. I didn't believe in superstition, so I took another friend's daughter home to take care of her. But she also got sick frequently and had to see a doctor frequently."

"My friend was so scared that he rushed to snatch it back. He said that our Zhan family is a Buddhist temple. We can't even raise a daughter of our own, and we can't raise someone else's either. So I gave up."

The old lady knew that her parents-in-law and her ancestors two generations ago all had daughters, but they were not raised and died young.

Haitong said, "Is grandma not good at raising a daughter? She wanted a daughter so much that she brought one home and raised her very carefully. It's different from how you raise a son. Sometimes, if you raise a child too carefully, it's hard to raise him, and he will have a poor health and get sick easily."

The old lady had several sons of her own, and because she had so many sons, she raised them like pigs.

Suddenly she had a daughter. Considering how much she wanted to have a daughter, she was definitely the best at raising her daughter with great care. Raising her too cautiously would be bad for the child.

In other words, the old lady doesn't know how to raise a daughter.

Moreover, when the old lady was young, she had to accompany her husband to build a business and was very busy, so it is inevitable that she could not take good care of her son.

She is extremely careful in taking care of her children herself, but a nanny may not be able to do the same if she leaves the child in care, and it would be easy for the child to have problems.

If the old lady had raised her daughter like she raised her son, I think Zhan Yin would have at least one aunt now, even if she was adopted.

Old lady: “…Is that so?”

Thinking of how carefully she treated her two baby girls decades ago, and then recalling how she raised her son and grandson, the old lady sighed, "That's because grandma doesn't know how to raise a daughter, and she's not destined to have a daughter."

If she has a great-granddaughter in the future, she will just hug her and play with her. She will not worry about feeding her and let her grandson and granddaughter-in-law take care of it.

The way young people today raise children is different from how their older generation did.

"Grandma, Tongtong just woke up and is hungry. Let Tongtong eat something first."

Zhan Yin changed the topic because he was afraid that his beloved wife would hear too much and feel pressured to have a daughter.

The old lady and her daughter-in-law said in unison: "Tongtong, go eat something quickly, don't be hungry."

The old lady also scolded Zhan Yin: "Ah Yin, you should take Tongtong to eat first. How could you let Tongtong go hungry? Pregnant women should eat small meals frequently. Let her eat more often."
