Hearing the old woman's words, Mother Lu smiled and replied, "Both boys and girls are good. As long as the children grow up healthy and safe, that's enough."
When they heard this, most people in the ward thought she was bragging.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to say those empty words. Which family doesn't want grandsons? Look at my family—my daughter-in-law is so useless. She's been pregnant three times, yet every time she only gives birth to a money-wasting thing!" a middle-aged woman said sarcastically.
Mother Lu frowned at her words and said, "Sister-in-law, even though women carry the babies, they don't have a choice in the baby's gender."
"What's more, children are not just the wife's responsibility. If the husband doesn't have the blessing to father a son, no matter how good the mother is, she will still give birth to a daughter."
As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman was angered. She glared at Mother Lu and asked, "Are you saying it's my son's fault?"
