Chapter 296: Better to Stay Poor Forever!_1
Shi Xiaolan did not hide anything: "Our family is doing so much better this year thanks to you and Brother Xiao. We’ve earned a bit of money, making life far better than before. People see that we’re living well and have their sights set on Fu Zi, with some even sending middlemen to our place. They’re propositioning for Fu Zi to take them as a concubine. If Fu Zi agrees, they could be taken into the household next year."
An Jing was at a loss for words and glanced at her devoted, high-and-mighty husband before asking, "What’s Brother An Fu’s attitude on this?"
"Actually, Fu Zi doesn’t wish to marry them, but my in-laws are tempted. However, since I’m pregnant, they haven’t added to my stress and rejected the proposals, saying they’re not considering these matters for now."
An Jing furrowed her brows. For now? Does that mean they will consider it in the future?
Just because there’s a little bit of money at home, they’re thinking about all these messes...
It would be better to stay poor!
"Sigh," Shi Xiaolan sighed deeply, "I don’t blame them. I just hope this child in my belly will do me proud and be a son. With a son, I’ll have firmly established my place in the family, and naturally, my in-laws wouldn’t let Fu Zi marry another, as they’re just worried about having no heir."
After a pause, Shi Xiaolan continued, "If it’s another daughter, I’d be thankful if they don’t force Fu Zi to divorce me and remarry. I can’t even hope for Fu Zi to truly spend a lifetime with me. Besides, Fu Zi is filial, and if they pressure him to take another wife, even if he’s reluctant, he’ll do it. There’s a saying, ’Of all the unfilial acts, having no heir is the gravest.’
