Chapter 201: Shen Baolan Gets Beaten Up Again
"...Her days are not easy either. Her in-laws have always despised her for not having a son. Now that every family can only have one child, a daughter-in-law who hasn’t given birth to a son can’t hold her head up in front of her in-laws."
As she spoke, Feng Huiying lowered her voice to a whisper audible only to the two of them, "Her husband keeps finding excuses not to come home. It’s said he has a mistress on the outside. Just wait and see, if the mistress has a son, her position at home will probably not be secure."
Shen Mingzhu enjoyed a bit of gossip, but upon hearing such matters, she couldn’t help feeling disgusted.
It wasn’t that she sympathized with Jiang Jing out of a sense of saintliness, but rather she felt saddened and speechless about the sexism of the era.
What’s wrong with girls anyway? Without women to give birth, humanity would have gone extinct ages ago. If they’re so capable, then they shouldn’t be born from a woman’s womb, but instead leap out of a rock!
Seeing her silent, Feng Huiying laughed again, "Actually, many people in the family compound envy you. Though Ziheng isn’t your biological child, he isn’t any different from one. In the future, no matter whether you and Pei Yang have a son or a daughter, no one will gossip about it."
Shen Mingzhu casually replied, "I haven’t thought about that yet. Let’s wait until Ziheng is older."
Hearing her say this, Feng Huiying suddenly became hesitant, "Well, Mingzhu, I want to ask you something, and I hope you won’t be upset."
"Hmm, ask away."
Feng Huiying glanced behind her to make sure no one was there, then conspiratorially leaned towards Shen Mingzhu’s ear, "You and Pei Yang... you haven’t... consummated your marriage yet, have you?"
