Chapter 54: Charming (Praying for Resentment)

The original owner was born in a gender-swapped world, where, as the name suggests, men become women and women become men. In this world, women have the final say, and men should stay at home to support their wives, raise their daughters, and have children in order to be considered good men.

A gender-swapped world will inevitably have its share of patriarchal ideas.

As it happened, the original owner was also fortunate enough to become one of the disliked members. Who told him to be a boy? He was a money-loser and was not valued by anyone. If he hadn't been the first person born into the Qi family, he probably would have been thrown into the river and drowned by the Qi family's matriarch, his grandmother.

Throughout history, how many baby boys have been drowned in this world?

The eldest woman of the Qi family is still alive; she is none other than the original owner's grandmother, Qi Shengtian. From childhood to adulthood, Qi Shengtian has held the idea of ​​favoring women over men. It can be said that she looks down on men to the core. The Qi family is Qi Shengtian's personal sanctuary, and no one dares to disobey her. Even her grandfather and granddaughter, who have shared a bed with her for decades, do not dare to raise their voices in front of Qi Shengtian.

Sun Ainu still held some respect in front of Qi Shengtian, since she had given birth to two daughters in a row and no sons. This gave Qi Shengtian a lot of face in public.

The original owner was the eldest son of Qi Yaozu, who was the eldest daughter of Qi Shengtian. He also had a younger sister named Qi Yaozong.

When Qi Shengtian learned that his granddaughter's first child was a grandson, he was not happy. However, since it was the first child and the family was wealthy, he still kept the original owner of the body and named her Qi Zhaomei.

Since the original owner was born, the family had more and more children, but no daughter was born for a long time. So the original owner's younger brothers were named Yingmei, Qiumei, Yinmei, Panmei, etc.

After having eight sons, she finally welcomed two big, healthy daughters.

After the birth of her younger sister, the original owner and her brothers' already difficult lives of not having enough to eat or wear became even worse. From birth, the younger sisters were pampered and spoiled. They had their father's milk to drink and supplementary food when they grew up. They didn't care about them at all and never knew what their father's milk tasted like.

The younger sisters ate well, drank well, used the best things, and didn't have to do any work. Occasionally, they would beat and scold the original owner and his family. The original owner and his family couldn't understand it, but they gradually began to adapt to this kind of life.

The original owner and his brothers served the entire Qi family. When they reached marriageable age, they would be married off by their parents to be used as dowries for their sisters. After marrying into the family, they would have to return to their father's house from time to time to make some money, otherwise their father's family would say they were unfilial.

The boys from the Qi family didn't marry into any good families. The Qi family only wanted to exchange dowries and didn't care about the original owner's life or death at all.

The original owner was the first to be married into another family, suffered the most, and died the earliest.

Before he died, the original owner was lying on the ground waiting for his sister to come and support him, but as he waited and waited, he felt his body temperature gradually draining away, and his sister never came.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

"Dad, my husband is about to give birth!"

Qi Yaozu had just gotten home from the fields and had only been lying down for two minutes when her husband, Li Simei, didn't come to bring her tea or water. So she got up to see what kind of trouble this young man was up to.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Qi Yaozu saw his man slumped on the ground, his lower body covered in a mixture of blood and liquid. Qi Yaozu was shocked and quickly took a few steps back.

It wasn't until Li Simei said she was about to give birth that Qi Yaozu realized he should call her "Dad." How could he let a grown woman like her get involved in such a manly matter?

Besides, everyone knows that the delivery room is the filthiest place. If giving birth causes trouble for a grown woman like herself, it would be a huge loss.

Li Simei remained seated on the cold ground, her abdomen constantly drooping, the pain intensifying and causing her unbearable agony. However, realizing she had frightened Qi Yaozu, Li Simei dared not cry out, and could only grit her teeth, forcing herself to endure the pain.

"Daughter, can you carry your husband inside?" Sun Ainu couldn't carry the heavily pregnant Li Simei, so she looked to Qi Yaozu for help.

Qi Yaozu glanced at Li Simei, who was covered in dirt on the ground, sighed, and then bent down to hug her tightly. As soon as she was in his arms, Qi Yaozu smelled the pungent odor of blood. He frowned but said nothing.

Li Simei had been paying close attention to Qi Yaozu's changing expressions, and when she saw a hint of disdain in his eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

After putting the person on the bed, Qi Yaozu left the room in a hurry without even saying a word of concern. Before leaving, he also took a set of clean clothes, as well as his own pillow and quilt.

It looks like Qi Yaozu won't be coming back to stay tonight.

"Son-in-law, push harder..." Li Simei was still staring at Qi Yaozu's departing figure, completely forgetting that she was about to give birth. It was only when her granddaughter was born that Li Simei was awakened, and she began to push.

After a heart-wrenching cry that lasted for an hour, Qiyuan was born.

"Dad, is it a girl?" Hearing the baby's loud cries, Qi Yaozu stood at the door and asked at the top of his lungs.

There was no sound coming from inside for a long time, so Qi Yaozu knew there was no good news. He spat towards the delivery room, didn't even look at his child or husband, and turned to leave the house.

"Sister, I heard your husband gave birth? Is it a niece or a nephew?" Qi Yaozong didn't go home at noon today. Her husband is also pregnant and insisted on eating fish today. There was no other way, so Qi Yaozong had to go to the river to catch fish under the scorching sun for the sake of her husband's unborn daughter. On her way back, she heard the news of her brother-in-law's birth and happened to see Qi Yaozu going out, so she just asked casually.

"Damn it, I gave birth to a worthless brat." Qi Yaozong spat in the direction of the delivery room as he said this.

"A boy is fine too. They say a son is his mother's sweetheart from a past life. Sister, you must have been quite the ladies' man in your past life, huh?" Qi Yaozong didn't show it on his face when he heard that his brother-in-law had a son, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Qi Yaozong and her husband are also pregnant. They were worried that her brother-in-law would give birth to a daughter first, but now that's all right, they won't be under so much pressure. If their own husband gives birth to a daughter, wouldn't she be the eldest daughter and granddaughter of the Qi family? Wouldn't she get a bigger share of the family property when the family is divided?

The two sisters exchanged a few more words, and Qi Yaozong left grumbling. Only then did Qi Yaozu smile and head home.

"My brother-in-law had a baby boy?"

"Hmm, how did you know?" Qi Yaozu asked his husband Zhou Mumei as soon as he entered the door. Zhou Mumei looked up in shock, her eyes a little red.

"Your brother-in-law gave birth to a money-losing child, why are you crying?" Qi Yaozu hated men crying the most. When he saw Zhou Mumei's red eyes, his first reaction was that it was bad luck! So bad luck!

"No, I didn't cry. I was just scared when my brother-in-law shouted..." Zhou Mumei was afraid that she would anger Qi Yaozu, so she quickly grabbed Qi Yaozu's clothes and looked up at him pitifully.

These actions and expressions pleased Qi Yaozu, and the matter was considered closed.

The young couple were inside the house dreaming about what would happen after their daughter was born. In the next room, Li Simei was staring blankly at the red-skinned baby girl wrapped up, tears streaming down her face, some even landing on Qi Yuan's face.

Damn it! It was already annoying enough, but to be reborn as a baby was one thing, but in a gender-swapped world, well, I could manage with such a weak father. It's not that I couldn't persevere, but what I hate most is the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls and vice versa.

Qi Yuan felt like he was about to explode; he might as well just destroy himself!

"The world is destroyed, and Qi Yuan will wake up a hundred years earlier." The mechanical voice rang in Qi Yuan's mind, and Qi Yuan's fist, which he had just raised, fell back onto the bed.

Another tear fell on Qi Yuan's lips, and Qi Yuan's fist hardened again, before slowly relaxing after a while.

In the evening, when Qi Shengtian returned and heard that his eldest son-in-law had given birth to a baby boy, his originally cheerful face fell, and his eyes glared at Li Simei.

Li Simei tightened her grip on Qi Yuan's hand, and her whole body began to tremble.

"What are you standing there for? You think you've done something good? You gave birth to a son and now you're not doing any work? Get back to work!" Qi Shengtian hadn't spoken, but his granddaughter, who had been observing him, finally spoke up.

"You think you're so precious with a little kid? You can't just leave him there, he's not going to run away! Don't let him ruin dinner!" Sun Ainu frowned, and seeing Li Simei about to take the child to the kitchen, she said again.

With his resentment put aside, he felt he could finally live a little longer. Any later, and he feared he would be strangled to death by Li Simei.

The meal was eaten in complete silence; no one dared to step in Qi Shengtian's footsteps at this moment. Finally, Sun Ai'er glanced at Qi Yuan and asked, "Husband, is this child going to..."

What does she want? It doesn't need to be explicitly stated. In reality, Sun Ai-nv had more than two daughters, but due to poor living conditions at the time, all her sons were drowned.

"Forget it, it's not like we can't afford to raise her." Qi Shengtian glanced at Qi Yuan, ignoring Li Simei's pitiful appearance with red eyes as she looked at him, and made a decision.

Hearing her husband say this, Sun Ainu was somewhat incredulous. When she gave birth to her son, her husband's attitude was completely different! Sun Ainu's gaze swept over Li Simei, who was looking at her husband with a pitiful expression. She cursed inwardly, "You little slut."

"Boss, you should go back to your room to sleep tonight," Sun Ainu said to Qi Yaozu, not wanting Li Simei to have any free time.

Qi Yaozu, looking impatient, finished the last bite of rice in his bowl and was about to refuse when he heard his father say, "He's not some rich young master, he doesn't need to wait for the right time. They say it's the best time to have a daughter, you two should hurry up..."

Upon hearing that he would have a daughter, Qi Yaozu's impatience vanished instantly. He secretly took his father's words to heart and decided to try it tonight. What if he could really have a daughter? A daughter is hundreds of times better than a son.

No one cared about the newborn Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan wasn't angry. Didn't he want a daughter? Dream on. Apart from him, they could forget about having a daughter or even a son in this lifetime. It would be better if his second uncle's younger brother was never born.

Since the younger brother of Second Uncle Qi Yaozong's family would suffer anyway, it would be better not to be born at all. Qi Yuan ignored the opinion of the unborn Qi Yingmei and sent his soul directly into reincarnation.

After administering sterilization medication to the entire family, Qi Yuan smacked her lower lip and slept soundly.

As for the future of the Qi family line? What does that have to do with Qi Yuan? He's still alive, so it doesn't mean the Qi family line has ended, right? So what if there are no daughters or grandchildren? That's not important, since there's no throne to inherit.

On the day of the full moon celebration, Zhou Mumei, who was seven months pregnant, suddenly fell and miscarried.

"Dad, my life is so hard. If it weren't for the water on the ground, I wouldn't have miscarried. My daughter is already six months along and will be born safely soon..." When Zhou Mumei woke up, she didn't see Qi Yaozong, so she could only vent her grievances to her father-in-law.

"What daughter? Is a little boy worth crying over? Hurry up and get better so you can get pregnant again. If you give birth to a daughter, your mother and I will reward you..." The son-in-law had a miscarriage, and it was inconvenient for the father-in-law to be absent, especially since his own daughter was unwilling to take care of her husband. It would be a laughing stock if word got out that he, as the father, didn't come.

Upon hearing that she had miscarried a boy, Zhou Mumei's crying, which sounded like her mother and father had died, stopped abruptly. She felt somewhat relieved that the son had been lost and not born.

"Dad, I'm pretty amazing, right? I sensed it was a son and miscarried on my own, saving me the trouble of giving birth..." Zhou Mumei stopped crying and instead smiled proudly, even having the energy to praise herself. You couldn't tell she was in pain from just losing her child.

It's just a kid who's gone, so let's save ourselves the trouble.

After Zhou Mumei's miscarriage, she didn't take a break and started trying to conceive with Qi Yaozong that very night. Qi Yuan listened to the sounds coming from all around him, put a shield on himself, and then fell into a deep sleep.
