Chapter 245 - 240
She knew that Zhou Yunmei was hoping for a grandson, which is why she was being so attentive. If it turned out to be a granddaughter, her face would probably turn ugly. Just now by the stove, she heard Zhou Yunmei suggesting Luo Zhiyong take her for a checkup to see if it’s a boy or a girl.
Anyway, it’s hard for her to come back now, and even in the future, she won’t be able to visit often, so she decided not to make a fuss with Zhou Yunmei and pretended not to hear.
But she definitely wouldn’t go for the checkup. She didn’t care whether it was a boy or a girl, why bother going through all that trouble.
After Zhou Yunmei finished making the bed, she went outside and busied herself with heating the kang bed-stove, telling Fang Pingying to just sit inside the house and not go out to the yard. She should ask if she needed anything as it was cold outside and she might freeze.
After Zhou Yunmei left, Luo Zhiyong knew Fang Pingying had also realized why Zhou Yunmei was being so attentive, so he whispered to Fang Pingying, "My dear, don’t take it to heart too much. Old folks are like that. Knowing it might be a grandson, they inevitably get anxious."
"I don’t care about that. Although she’s being nicer to me because of the baby in my belly, right now I am the one being valued," Fang Pingying said, then gave Luo Zhiyong a half-smile, "I just hope your mom won’t be like Huang Lin’s mom, forcing me to go to the hospital to check if the baby is a boy or a girl."
Luo Zhiyong laughed awkwardly and asked her, "Did you hear what my mom said in the kitchen just now?"
Fang Pingying nodded, her tone a bit teasing as she looked at him, "Yes, your mom’s tone was exactly like Huang Lin’s, not a bit different."
"Rest assured, I didn’t agree to it," Luo Zhiyong drew her closer and whispered reassurance, "Anyway, she’s here and we are in the provincial city. Even if we have a child, we hardly come back, so just let her say what she wants now. She can’t really be like Huang Lin’s mom and come to the provincial city to force you to have a grandson, right?"
Fang Pingying snorted lightly, noncommittally, "Given your mom’s personality, it wouldn’t be surprising if she actually did that."
"Don’t worry, I’m not like Huang Lin. I don’t favor sons over daughters. If that day really comes, I’ll talk to her myself, there won’t be a situation like at Huang Lin’s house, I promise." Luo Zhiyong said, and even raised three fingers to assure Fang Pingying that he would not be like Huang Lin’s family.
Fang Pingying just listened for now. She couldn’t imagine how Luo Zhiyong would handle it if Zhou Yunmei was insistent, "Remember what you said. If your mom acts like Ju Zi’s mother, I won’t be as easy-going as Ju Zi."
