Chapter 286 - 183: Contrast _3
They then delivered year-end gifts to the Zhang family, Song Mansion, and Di Mansion. Qian Yeejin was in charge of delivering the gifts to the Song Mansion and Di Mansion, while Yixiu went to the Zhang family.
Huang Yue’e was already five months pregnant, with the Little Divine Doctor on his way to becoming a father next year. Both the elder lady and Lady Song were ecstatic; this daughter-in-law was deemed fertile—as soon as she married into the family she got pregnant. They continually sent delicacies to her room, like water flowing, and even exempted her from paying respects. It was just that Huang Yue’e found it boring to stay in her own courtyard, and she still came to amuse the elder lady every day.
Huang Yue’e was now fuller and more radiant than before, with a peaceful look in her eyes, and her lips were always turned up in a smile. With money, leisure, a husband who loved her, and harmonious family members, who could be happier than her?
Yixiu looked at the little woman beaming with sheer happiness and couldn’t help but feel envious for a moment. She wondered what kind of man she would marry in the future, but the thought of Uncle Liang’s face somehow popped into her mind, startling her into a shiver.
The gap in age and social standing between her and Uncle Liang was too great, an utter impossibility. Even if they had been of the same age and equal social standing, she wouldn’t foolishly marry such a man. In every prestigious family, it was common to have many wives and concubines. Uncle Liang was not only the eldest grandson of the main Liang Family, but it seemed that his mother had only him for a son, which put the responsibility of continuing the family line on him even more than others.
The Liang Mansion definitely wouldn’t be as benevolent as the Zhang family, and even if they longed for a grandson, they wouldn’t casually shove women at their son. The young Doctor Zhang was truly the most economical choice for a husband. It was just a shame that "he was born before I was born; when I was born, he was already old."
She felt that she shouldn’t have such thoughts and silently scolded herself a few times, which made her feel a bit better.
Huang Yue’e saw Yixiu staring blankly at herself and asked with a smile, "What’s on your mind, Yixiu?"
Yixiu’s face turned red, and she quickly replied with a smile, "My mother says that a pointed belly means a baby boy. I think auntie’s belly is pointed, so it’s likely to be a little brother."
Her words made everyone in the room burst into laughter.
The elder lady laughed heartily and said, "Let’s hope your words come true."
