Hearing this, Old Fifth became anxious. “Ai yo, my sister-in-law, how can having a boy or a girl be the same? Let’s just put this out there first. Old Seventh and I are definitely not here to rejoice in other people’s misfortunes but are here as the elders of the Ruan Family to give you some advice.”
Hearing this, Madame Ruan laughed. “What advice is there to give?”
Old Seventh, seeing that there was an opportunity for him to speak, hurriedly opened his mouth and said, “Sister-in-law. If this was any other household, then having a baby boy or a girl is definitely the same thing. Right now, the reform movement has grown big, and we all understand that a girl can carry half of the sky. However, understanding it doesn’t mean that it is applicable to the Ruan Family. Who is Ruan Zeyan? He is the head of the Ruan Family! The Ruan Family is so large, and has so many descendants and relatives! Just how many pairs of eyes are staring at your daughter-in-law’s stomach? If it really is a daughter, she will need to marry in the future. Does that mean that from then on, our Ruan Family and Yuan Teng Corporation also has to change its name?”
Old Fifth nodded. “Exactly. Old Seventh is right. Sister-in-law, Brother and I are biological siblings from the same womb. We have watched Qishan grow up. Zeyan as well. We are your true relatives and therefore, we are here for your sake!”
“Hearing your words, it really does seem that you are not here to rejoice in other people’s misfortunes. However, the Ling girl is already nine months pregnant. It doesn’t matter if the baby is a boy or a girl; it already has a form and is a life. Are you saying that if it’s a girl, then it won’t do? You guys want to kill my granddaughter?”
Madame Ruan’s eyes flickered between Old Fifth and Old Seventh.
Old Fifth and Old Seventh were shocked and quickly shook their heads. “Of course not!”
Old Fifth smiled mockingly and retrieved a business card from his pocket. He handed it to Madame Ruan. “Sister-in-law, it’s just as you said. Tianya is already nine-months pregnant and has a daughter in her stomach. There is no way around it. However, Tianya is still young, and she can still give birth. The miracle doctor on the business card is amazing. He has inherited a mysterious pill that will allow one to birth a son. As long as it is used, then one will definitely have a boy!” Old Fifth pointed to his two daughters-in-law. “Those two ate the pill prescribed by the miraculous doctor and have successively been pregnant with two boys. The miracle doctor is really quite amazing. After Ling Tianya gives birth and her body has recuperated, you should go find the miracle doctor and get the prescription for the pill. I promise that she will quickly be pregnant the second time and it will be a boy!”
Madame Ruan indifferently looked at Old Fifth, who was in high spirits, and put down the business card. “You guys believe such a thing?”
Old Fifth’s eyes widened. “Why wouldn’t we believe it? My two daughters-in-law are the best evidence. Sister-in-law, trust your younger brother just this once!”
“As if I’d believe such nonsense! Do you guys not even have any knowledge of medicine? Whether a child is male or a female isn’t determined by the woman, but by the man! Our family doesn’t need to rely on any medication. Birthing a child who is physically weak and constantly is what is called a failure!”
Upon hearing Madame Ruan’s words, the two women’s faces became heavy with grief. Although their firstborns were definitely boys, up until now, they still hadn’t been able to speak and even walking took effort. Their development was much slower than other children’s. In reality, they also questioned the so-called miracle doctor, but the second they spoke their thoughts, they would be reprimanded. Their entire family, including their husbands, all fully trusted the miracle doctor. Even if they were unwilling, they must take the doctor’s prescription.
Now, they were definitely pregnant, however, they were constantly worried about the child’s condition.
Old Fifth’s nose flared with anger upon seeing that Madame Ruan was not only thanking him but was instead criticizing him. “Sister-in-law, I am only thinking about the Ruan Family’s future!”
“If the Ruan Family’s future were really to be placed in the hands of the miracle doctor, then it might as well be discarded!”
