My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 503: Shall We Go In?
Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Shall We Go In?
So Lu Youzhen had to put up with them for the time being.
Ge Guifen was now quite good at observing Lu Youzhen’s expressions.
Upon seeing that Lu Youzhen seemed a little impatient, she immediately said, "But your brother just provided you an opportunity, the key is still on our family’s Youzhen to strive hard."
Lu Youbang laughed once, "Youzhen’s belly is particularly eager to strive."
Lu Youxi was really a bit surprised by that.
Lu Youzhen was actually pregnant.
No wonder she was so confident about marrying into the Lin Family.
It was just unknown whether Lin Jingshen’s parents knew about Lu Youzhen’s pregnancy.
Following that, Ge Guifen said, "However, our mother and daughter indeed have a strong spirit in this regard, I guess you have inherited that from me."
"I got married into the Lu Family two years later than Liu Yushu, and I entered the family, yet Liu Yushu hadn’t even conceived." Ge Guifen said proudly, "Back then, your grandparents were so anxious, they made Liu Yushu try countless folk remedies. Yet, within less than six months after I married in, I was pregnant with your brother."
"Your grandparents became even more anxious, they straightaway forced Liu Yushu to divorce Lu Zhenguo. Lu Zhenguo refused to divorce, and your grandmother cursed Liu Yushu every day for being a hen that doesn’t lay eggs. No matter what Liu Yushu did, your grandmother always brought the conversation back to that."
"In the family, only the men could eat eggs, and when Liu Yushu cooked eggs, your grandmother said Liu Yushu wasn’t even as useful as a hen."
"When eating eggs, they would share one with me while I was pregnant, but Liu Yushu got none, your grandmother said Liu Yushu couldn’t conceive, so why should she have the right to eat eggs? Even a hen was better."
"When Liu Yushu did the chores in the yard, your grandmother also said she was useless, might as well do more chores. Otherwise, what use was it to the Lu Family to keep her?"
Lu Youxi hadn’t known about this.
Now hearing Ge Guifen talk about it, Lu Youxi looked downcast.
Fortunately, Liu Yushu had already left the Lu Family, no longer having to suffer these humiliations.
Lu Youxi turned his head to look at Lu Zhenguo, seeing that Lu Zhenguo too had a grim face.
Originally, having not seen them for a year, he still cared somewhat about the Lu Family’s elders’ health, even felt a bit sympathetic towards the elderly Lu Family’s elders for having to suffer under Ge Guifen.
But now, listening to Ge Guifen’s words, Lu Zhenguo once again recalled the tough times when he first married Liu Yushu, and she hadn’t yet conceived.
"Later, after I gave birth to your brother, Liu Yushu finally conceived." Ge Guifen continued, "The ten months she carried Lu Youxi were okay, because they didn’t know whether it was a boy or a girl."
"At the hospital, the doctor couldn’t possibly tell them the gender, and your grandparents wouldn’t bribe the doctor. So they could only wait until the day Liu Yushu gave birth," Ge Guifen said.
"To their surprise, she gave birth to a baby girl." Ge Guifen smirked at this moment, "Unlike me, my firstborn was your brother, which made your grandparents really happy. When it came to Liu Yushu, they took good care of her during the pregnancy, didn’t let her work too much, even gave her an egg every day. But it all went to waste when Lu Youxi was born."
"Could your grandparents show any kindness to Liu Yushu or Lu Youxi?" Ge Guifen laughed, "It took many more years before Liu Yushu conceived again. But this time, your grandparents were wounded by the incident of Liu Yushu’s first pregnancy, they simply refused to have hope, convinced that Liu Yushu could never give birth to a son."
"So her pregnancy was far worse than when she carried Lu Youxi. Who knew that she would actually give birth to a son in the end." Ge Guifen pursed her lips.
"But she had Lu Youxue too late; your brother was born so many years earlier and had been spoiled rotten by the Lu Family. Even after Liu Yushu had Lu Youxue, his treatment was never as good as your brother’s," Ge Guifen said. "The eldest son might not be the most favored, but the eldest grandson definitely is."
"That’s why in the Lu Family, Lu Youbang gets the best treatment," Ge Guifen said. "So, if you ask me, that belly of yours definitely takes after me—your first child will surely be a boy."
"I heard you say that even though the two older brothers of Lin Jingshen are married, their first children were daughters," Ge Guifen said. "If you can give birth to a son this time, not to mention marrying into the Lin Family, your position there will be secure."
"It would be best if this child were a boy," Lu Youzhen said, touching her belly, "but it would be even better to get the marriage certificate with Lin Jingshen before finding out the gender."
"It doesn’t matter whether his parents accept it or not for now, as long as you first get the marriage certificate smoothly; gaining his parents’ acceptance can be dealt with later," Lu Youzhen said, looking down.
Ge Guifen’s eyes swiveled around before asking Lu Youbang, "Do you think there’s a way we could bribe someone so they would say it’s a boy regardless of the actual gender?"
"That way, when the child is born, even if it’s a girl, we could just say they made a mistake," Ge Guifen said.
"That could indeed work, and it’s not as if mistakes don’t happen," Lu Youbang slowly nodded. "But the issue now is, how do we find such a connection? We don’t know anybody in that area."
"Let’s all think of a solution," Lu Youzhen said. "The method Mom just mentioned could really work, and it’s the safest option we have right now."
Lu Youzhen bowed her head, thinking of someone she could ask for help.
Lu Youbang also nodded, "Okay, we’ll look into it later."
Lu Youxi turned to whisper to Lu Zhenguo, "Dad, should we go in?"
Ge Guifen’s words had reminded Lu Zhenguo of the past actions of the Lu Family’s elders.
Suddenly, Lu Zhenguo wasn’t interested in visiting the Lu Family’s elders anymore.
The elders were probably bedridden and not living well, but it likely wasn’t anything serious.
Ge Guifen still needed to get money from them, always having to take care of them.
So, Lu Zhenguo silently shook his head and turned to walk out of the yard.
Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan exchanged glances, then followed him out.
They had left the yard before the three inside the house—Ge Guifen and the others—even knew Lu Youxi and the others had been there.
Having walked a few steps away from the yard gate, Lu Zhenguo finally said in a muffled voice, "How did Lu Youzhen end up with... with Lin Jingshen?"
Lu Zhenguo now knew who Lin Jingshen was.
Back when Lin Jingshen and Lu Youbang had slandered Lu Youxi, the incident had been quite severe, and Lu Zhenguo naturally heard about it, thus knew Lin Jingshen.
Lu Youxi feigned ignorance, "I don’t know either; I was just as shocked when I heard it. These two have nothing in common; how could they end up together?"
Lu Zhenguo grimly said, "Lu Youzhen is the type to disdain the poor and love the rich, extremely materialistic. But even if she does look for a wealthy man, she should at least find someone decent. Lin Jingshen has such a poor character; she’s not afraid that Lin Jingshen will deceive her, leading her to lose both her husband and resources, ending up with nothing."
Regardless, Lu Youzhen was his niece, and he didn’t want to see Lu Youzhen suffer a disadvantage.
