Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Decrease Lifespan by Ten Years Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Decrease Lifespan by Ten Years “Who are you raising your voice to?!”
Zhang Guihua glared fiercely and without sparing any feelings, she retorted, “This pork was bought last time by Eldest, what’s wrong with me saving some for him? If you think it’s unfair, why don’t you go out and make some money too? Buy a few pounds of meat for the family and I assure you, I’ll save a big bowl for you too. Can’t make money, but have plenty of idle talk.”
Sun Lixia hadn’t expected the old lady to protect Eldest’s family so much. Even when they were not home, she wouldn’t allow her to speak her mind freely.
Not long ago, she and her mother-in-law had been criticizing Eldest’s family together for being lazy and not working the fields, yet now, seeing that Eldest’s family had money, their attitude drastically changed.
While cooking in the kitchen, Zhaodi felt immensely satisfied hearing her grandmother scold Sun Lixia.
It was indeed rare, as last life, her grandmother and Sun Lixia had always been tight as thieves, joining hands to oppress their family.
But her grandmother was no saint either, favoring whoever had money and utility, and oppressing those who didn’t to death.
So biased it was as if her father wasn’t her biological one.
It would be best if they kept biting each other like dogs!
However, Zhaodi knew this wasn’t likely, since her grandparents cared mostly about their two grandsons.
But things were about to change, as she was soon going to have a little brother.
So, during dinner, she suddenly whispered, “I, I had a dream last night, I saw an old man with a white beard who said he was an Immortal, and he also said that I’m about to have a brother who is the reincarnation of an Immortal.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaojuan instinctively placed her hand on her stomach, and the meat in her mouth suddenly lost all its flavor.
She had been longing for a son, dreaming about it day and night for so many years.
Zhang Guihua instantly frowned, “I think you’re daydreaming! Look at how many money-losing children your mother has given birth to, if she could have birthed a boy, she would have done so long ago!”
Sun Lixia just rolled her eyes, “My sister-in-law is fated to produce only money-losing children, no matter how many she births, none of them will ever be boys.”
Jiang Changhe did not harbor any hopes either, just quietly continued eating his meal.
Zhaodi glanced around at everyone in the room, and like being frightened, she shrank her shoulders, but the hand under the table was tightly clenched into a fist.
Laugh all you want, just wait until my brother is born, then you’ll see how foolish you were today.
But Zhao Xiaojuan, who had been longing for a son for many years, couldn’t help but feel hopeful and whispered while washing dishes, “Zhaodi, did you really dream about an Immortal saying you’re going to have a brother?”
Hearing this, Da Ya and Er Ya also looked over expectantly, waiting for Zhaodi’s response.
“Of course it’s true, the Immortal also said that my brother is already in my mother’s stomach,” Zhaodi blinked, speaking earnestly and innocently.
The youngest, Laidi, immediately cheered happily, “Oh, that’s great, I’m going to have a brother too, with a brother, grandma won’t always scold and beat us anymore.”
These were the comforting words Zhao Xiaojuan often used to pacify her daughter, so the little girl remembered them well.
Zhao Xiaojuan’s eyes reddened slightly, although she knew it was just a dream, she still prayed earnestly with her hands clasped together, “Oh Lord, please give me a son, I’m willing to give up ten years of my life for it.”
Da Ya, listening by the side, also silently prayed in her heart: Lord, please let my mom have a son, I am also willing to give up ten years of my life.
