Chapter 344 - 343: Miss my Grandson Like Crazy
After breakfast, Qin Jinlian slipped into the new cotton-padded jacket her daughter and son-in-law had bought for her and happily went out to make the rounds, eager to show off.
She hadn’t gone far from home when she saw several women from the village gathered together, chatting away passionately.
"What are you all talking about that’s so lively?"
When they turned to look at her, Qin Jinlian deliberately straightened her back and smoothed her clothes, ready to bask in everyone’s admiration and flattery.
But someone, annoyed at her show-off attitude, said, "Jinlian, you must not have heard yet. Cuihua’s daughter-in-law gave birth last night."
Qin Jinlian was taken aback and quickly asked, "A daughter or a grandson?"
"A big chubby grandson. Cuihua is over the moon, going from door to door borrowing eggs early this morning."
Hearing that Liu Cuihua had a grandson, Qin Jinlian almost died from jealousy.
Liu Cuihua’s daughter having borne a big chubby boy had already outshone her own daughter, and her son Shen Hao, an old bachelor who married later than her other two sons, unexpectedly had a grandson first.
"My Yuemei will have her baby soon too. I had someone look at her, and they said for sure this child will be a chubby boy."
