A month passed in a cycle of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, eating and defecating, defecating and sleeping.

Finally, the Jiang family's young master celebrated his one-month birthday.

That day, the entire Jiang family was busy, all dressed up in their finest attire.

When Lin Yueniang's family members arrived, her eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle all put aside their businesses and brought their families to congratulate their sister on her wedding.

Lin Yueniang's parents, nearing sixty, learned that their daughter had finally given birth to a legitimate son. Despite the long journey, they followed their three sons from a neighboring county to Changshou Village.

Actually, the elderly couple wanted to set off on the day they received the letter, but their daughters-in-law stopped them.

The distance is one issue, but the main problem is that the men have gone to buy goods and aren't home.

If the two elderly people go to their daughter's house by themselves and something goes wrong, the daughter-in-laws can't afford to take responsibility.

"Moon Maiden, my Moon Maiden, let your mother see you."

As soon as Lin's mother, supported by her daughters-in-law, entered the backyard, she began to think about her daughter. Her daughter had given birth in her thirties and must have suffered a lot.

"Mom, I'm fine. Please sit down. You haven't seen your eldest grandson yet."

Lin Yueniang was very touched that her mother paid attention to her as soon as she entered the door, but she still presented the big, fat boy to her mother like a treasure.

"Oh my, whose fairy is this? Only my daughter could give birth to such a beautiful child."

"The old lady is right. Only our young lady could give birth to such a lovely child."

“Aunt Zhou, you haven’t changed at all over the years. You’re still the same as when you were in the Lin family, always speaking the truth!”

"Hahahaha, that's right, Zhou's mother just loves to tell the truth."

Lin Yueniang's sisters-in-law had long since become numb to their mother-in-law's favoritism towards her younger sister-in-law.

Fortunately, we don't live under the same roof, so we don't have to worry about it too much.

Aside from the fact that the eldest sister-in-law of the Lin family married into the family early and spent several more years with her unmarried sister-in-law, Lin Yueniang married into Changshou Village in Changshou County less than two years after the second and third sisters-in-law entered the family.

Although the mother-in-law was biased, fortunately, the sister-in-law, Lin Yueniang, was not difficult to get along with, so everyone lived in peace.

"Oh my, this little one is so pretty! You can really see my charm in her. Her eyes and brows are so captivating!"

"He looks more like my brother-in-law to me. Look at that high nose bridge and small mouth, doesn't he look more like my brother-in-law?"

"By the way, has the child been named yet? This is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, so we must give him a good name."

The three sisters-in-law started talking, one after another.

Jiang Wenming, who had been dozing off due to the noise, opened his eyes.

“Oh dear, my little nephew has opened his eyes. Look at your aunt. Here’s a little silver lock for you.”

"My in-laws came up with several names, but they were all..."

'That's too awful, it's not good enough for my son!' Lin Yueniang thought to herself.

No matter how awful it sounds, it can't be as awful as 'Jiang Wenming,' right? Jiang Wenming was thinking this.

"My father-in-law suggested Jiang Jinbao, my mother-in-law said Jiang Duofu, and my husband said Jiang Wangjia..."

"Um, it's actually quite auspicious..."

Lin's mother didn't know what to say. Her father-in-law was supposed to have attended a private school, so how come he only had a few drops of knowledge?

And the son-in-law! It's one thing for the mother-in-law to be illiterate, but Jiang Wangjia? Why not call him Wangcai!

"Anyway, I won't allow it. This is the only male heir of the Jiang family in this generation, and I can't let my son blame me when he grows up."

After opening his eyes for a while and then pretending to sleep again, Jiang Wenming was temporarily relieved. Fortunately, this mother was quite reliable.

Having been here for so long, he had long since accepted his fate of becoming a little boy, since it was easier for men to survive in ancient times.

She also learned that she had two legitimate older sisters and four half-sisters, making her the seventh child.

My grandfather, Jiang Changshou, was a retired scholar who had passed the imperial examinations. His family owned hundreds of acres of fertile land and several shops.

Although not from a powerful or wealthy family, they were still a modestly well-off family that valued both farming and scholarship, and at least they could afford to send their child to a private school in the future.

"Is Xiaoqi hungry? Let the baby nurse first."

At an age when he couldn't even control his bowel movements, Jiang Wenming repeatedly managed to control his appetite, simply out of embarrassment.

However, no matter how much she tried to control it, it wouldn't work. After all, this tender little body needed nutrition, and the instinct for survival forced her to bow to fate.

It only took three meals of milk for me to go from feeling embarrassed to feeling numb.

Lin Yueniang skillfully took the baby and breastfed it herself. Noticing the strange look in her mother's eyes, she explained:

"This child never cries, whether he is hungry or wet. At most, he will just whimper a few times. He is very sensible."

"Yes, the young master is very easy to take care of. Madam originally wanted to find a wet nurse, but the young master is really easy to manage. It's enough for me and Cui'er to look after him."

In addition, the wife rarely has an abundant milk supply, and the doctor also said that it's better for the child and the mother to breastfeed.

"This child has truly come to repay a debt of gratitude. It will make things much easier to discuss the marriage between Sister Wen and Sister Yue in the future."

"Who says otherwise? I had given up on the idea, but I never expected those two to be so disappointing."

"Hmph, they just weren't lucky!"

"And the son-in-law, couldn't he have waited a few more years? Then he would have a son! He had to buy them one by one, what a waste of money!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueniang's gaze darkened slightly. As for Madam Pan, she had agreed to take her in, and besides, she was her mother-in-law's distant cousin, practically family.

But that Qin family member was someone my husband liked, and he wanted to take her in.

She had a hunch that once Qin gave birth to a son, she would be elevated to the status of a secondary wife, and the child would not be raised by her.

Fortunately, that vile woman Qin couldn't bear a son, while I, the legal wife, have given birth to the eldest legitimate son.

Granny Zhou was perceptive and noticed that the young lady she had raised since childhood was in a bad mood, so she changed the subject.

"Haha, it's all thanks to our lady's good fortune. Our young master is destined for greatness!"

These words made Old Madam Lin nod repeatedly, and her gaze toward her eldest grandson became even more loving. After all, this was the child who could change her daughter's situation, so she naturally cherished him.

"Putting everything else aside, the most obvious change in my in-laws' attitude recently is that the servants in the house no longer dare to misbehave."

"Yes, the treatment of the two young ladies has also been improved. They finally have the dignity of legitimate daughters."

Hearing this, Madam Lin was even more pleased. She had always been worried about her youngest daughter's situation in her husband's family. If they weren't so far apart, she would definitely come to give her son-in-law a good talking-to.

"From now on, I'll just take care of my four children and I. I won't worry about anything else. As long as they don't cause trouble for my children, I don't care how much trouble they cause!"

'Mother, your son supports you! That scumbag father of yours, step aside! Go find his beautiful concubine!'

"Ya ya ya, ya~" Jiang Wenming was speechless as he could only make "ya ya" sounds when he opened his mouth.

She could only express her loyalty to her mother with her eyes while nursing.

"Well, that's fine. Men are the most unreliable thing. It's better to save up some money for myself."

After the daughters-in-law left, Old Madam Lin secretly gave Lin Yueniang a red deed for a general store.

"Mom, what is this?"

“Take it. It’s for my grandson. Your brother and sister-in-law don’t know. This is a property that your father and I recently acquired. It’s our private property.”

"Mother, you and Father should keep this for your own retirement."

"Shh~ Listen to me, this shop isn't in Wangjiang County, it's in your Changshou County, right next to the county school!"

As the land deed was tucked into her bosom, Lin Yueniang's eyes welled up with tears.

Her parents have thought about what Xiaoqi would do for the next ten years or so. That's what her parents are like.

"Alright, from now on, Xiao Qi will be filial to his maternal grandparents!"
