Chapter 1490 Even though the son-in-law is male and cannot have children, his core still inherited t
Hiding behind the ugly rock, Granny He watched as her young mistress threw down a handkerchief, her heart pounding with anxiety.
I'm really afraid that the vulgar Su family will start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
Although the young lady was big and strong, she was lazy and unwilling to do anything, let alone practice martial arts. She was even reluctant to stand up and walk a few steps.
If it weren't for her daughter's urgent need to lose weight, and the fact that the young lady was even lazier than usual, she wouldn't be a match for the Su family, who were used to doing rough work.
Granny He waited and waited, but the second handkerchief never came down before Madam Su ran away.
They were instantly disappointed. They thought they could relax and fight, but the enemy was routed and ran away.
Granny He peeked out and watched as Madam Su's figure turned into a dot and finally disappeared behind the archway before slowly walking out.
I was just about to comfort the young lady and tell her not to cry so sadly, that it wasn't her fault that she couldn't give birth to arrowhead, it was entirely the son-in-law's fault.
Who made the son-in-law resemble Madam Su?
Su had given birth to four daughters before finally having a son-in-law. Even though the son-in-law was male and unable to have children, he still inherited Su's traits.
Her young lady has a hard life; she might end up like Madam Su, having given birth to four daughters before finally having one baby.
Granny He took a step forward and said, "Miss. Mo..."
Before she could even utter the word "sad," she realized that the young lady was faking her tears.
Aunt He: ...
Yun-jie touched her eyes, saying with a headache, "Sigh, my mother-in-law is finally gone..."
Aunt He: ...
That's really outrageous of you, Miss! You're even faking your tears.
Granny He immediately stopped worrying about Yun Jie'er and went straight to the heart of the matter: "Miss, the old lady's words are unpleasant, but she is right about one thing: there is no young master yet. What should we do?"
It was alright back in Sunjia Village, but now that we've been in Yuanlu County for over half a year, why is there still no sign of pregnancy?
If this continues, not only will Su Shi and Sun Bomin have objections, but the son-in-law might also have objections.
My son-in-law is not young anymore, he's twenty-six or twenty-seven, and in a few more years he'll be thirty.
Others have children as young as seventeen or eighteen, but the son-in-law only has a young lady. No matter how capable the He family is, they can't stop the Sun family from continuing the family line.
Besides, the He family certainly wouldn't object. If the legal wife can't have children, it's perfectly normal for her to take a concubine. The son-in-law hasn't divorced the young lady, so what reason does the He family have to interfere?
Granny He was so worried. Why was her young lady so unfortunate?
Why doesn't her little princess have a younger brother?
If she has a half-brother in the future, what status will the young lady have?
Sister Yun touched her belly, which was bulging inside, but unfortunately it was all fat.
She asked worriedly, "Granny, what should we do? I'm not pregnant, what should I do?"
You've been trying so hard, why aren't you pregnant yet?
Sister Yun repeated the steps to give birth to Little Fatty, pestering Sun Shan in every way, but why did it fail this time?
Are there any steps you missed? Or is it the environment that's causing your inability to conceive?
Granny He's eyes darted around as she looked at the surroundings, then she whispered, "Miss, you need to be more proactive and not be so reserved."
A blush crept onto Yun'er's cheeks as she whispered, "Granny, I...I didn't...have any reserve?"
How much more proactive could she be? Sister Yun felt she had already been very proactive.
And lately, Brother Shan seems to be avoiding him, often making excuses to read in the study. If Sister Yun didn't know Sun Shan's lifestyle, she would have suspected he was having an affair.
Yun Jie'er was so distressed. She had already abandoned the modesty of a well-bred lady and was quite promiscuous in order to have a son.
Granny He went on and on about this and that.
Sister Yun's face turned even redder.
Yun Jie hesitated and said, "Granny, is this alright?"
Granny He had no idea whether it would work or not, but it was always worth a try, what if it succeeded?
So he said confidently, "Miss, just do it this way. It will definitely work!"
The atmosphere at the Sun family's house became a little strange during dinner.
After Sun Shan finished his shift and returned to the dining hall, everything proceeded as usual, but Sun Bomin, Su Shi, and Yun Jie'er only mechanically went through the motions of eating.
Even Little Fatty, Little Black Girl, and Tiger Roar didn't talk much.
Of course, the only one who was normal was Uncle Sun, who was still chattering away in Sun Shan's ear.
Uncle Sun complained, "Shanzi, it's so boring being cooped up in the yamen all day. I want to go out and chat."
Sun Shan waved his hand, refusing without hesitation: "No way, we're unfamiliar with this place, and there are no guards with us. What if we get scammed outside?"
Uncle Sun immediately retorted, "Shanzi, who dares to cheat me? I am the Third Master of the yamen."
Sun Shan said calmly, "Third Uncle, I'm not afraid of others taking advantage of you, I'm afraid of you taking advantage of others."
These words infuriated Uncle Sun, so he kept muttering them over and over in Sun Shan's ear, buzzing like flies.
Finally, Sun Shan couldn't take it anymore and said, "Okay, let's take a couple of days off and go for a walk in the back mountain of the City God Temple, how about it?"
Not so great? What's so fun about hiking? Even though it's late summer and early autumn, the weather is still very hot. Hiking is torture. It's better to go to a teahouse to drink tea and listen to opera.
But when he met Sun Shan's stern eyes, Uncle Sun said timidly, "Alright, take your uncle out for a bit of fun. I'm getting moldy from being cooped up in the yamen all day. Ugh, life is so hard, so unbearable."
At that moment, Uncle Sun regretted coming to Yuanlu County.
The Third Master's attempt to assert his authority backfired; instead, he was locked in a dark room, where he suffered terribly.
It's better to go back to the village and chat with the villagers.
In that instant, Uncle Sun thought of his cronies' flattery; he hadn't heard any compliments in a long time and missed them terribly.
After dinner, it was time for Granny Wang's daily gossip session.
Of course, the most gossipy news in Yuanlu County recently is the case of Leng Shi filing a lawsuit, requesting the county magistrate to establish an heir.
Granny Wang said excitedly, "Master, this Leng family has sold off the Wen family's pawnshop and is no longer operating it. They only collect rent and don't do any business anymore."
Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Leng is a clever man."
For an orphan and a widow, doing business is suicidal; outsiders could easily gang up on them, take over their shop, and leave them with a mountain of debt.
It would be more cost-effective to close the business and rent out the shop to collect rent.
Perhaps the Leng family also considered this aspect, so they closed the business and simply collected rent instead.
Sun Shan initially awarded the land to Wen Xiaomei, also taking this into consideration.
The land is there; it's hard to lose it.
Buying and selling is different; it can disappear in an instant, and it's not so easy to control.
Sun Shan recalled that many second-generation owners of small businesses often face losses, bankruptcy, and even debts after the first generation retires, becoming defaulters.
The smartest approach is for the first generation to assess whether the second generation can take over. If not, they should cut their losses and sell off the family business, saving the money to support the second generation.
Otherwise, the family business will be squandered sooner or later.
The Leng family's approach was very clever. They would give up even the best deals, go home and lie low, carefully nurture their heirs, and preserve their strength to make a comeback.
