The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 571 Second Daughter
Although Chen Sufeng was bumped by Chunwang, fortunately, she had a good diet and exercised regularly, so she was in good physical condition.

Therefore, apart from the production being brought forward by five days, the collision did not cause any other problems.

The entire birthing process went relatively smoothly, and around noon, a loud cry came from the delivery room.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Dahan, who were guarding the door, breathed a sigh of relief.

The midwife handed the baby to Tong Huaqiong, saying, "Congratulations, your family has gained another daughter."

After speaking, he squinted to see Tong Huaqiong's reaction.

Tong Huaqiong glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes. The newborn was wrinkled, but she thought that Hua'er was like that when she was born, but now she is plump and beautiful.

"My daughter is wonderful; she's always my little darling." After saying that, Tong Huaqiong asked, "How's Sufeng doing?"

Gu Dahan also asked, "Aunt Ma, is Su Fen alright?"

The midwife said, "She's fine, just a little weak after giving birth, so she drank a bowl of ginseng soup."

Tong Huaqiong was still worried, so she asked Doctor Zhang to go in and take Chen Sufeng's pulse. After Doctor Zhang came out, he said the same thing as the midwife, and Tong Huaqiong was finally relieved.

She was terrified all morning from hearing Chen Sufeng's shouts. After all, childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell, especially in ancient times when medical conditions were limited and childbirth was the only option, making the risks even greater.

Fortunately, Chen Su-fen pulled through.

Tong Huaqiong handed the baby to Gu Dahan.

Gu Dahan held his youngest daughter in his arms. He had originally hoped that this child would be a son, so that he could have a son and a daughter with Man'er. Now that it was his daughter, it was impossible for him not to feel disappointed, but he was only disappointed for a while. He smiled while holding his daughter.

Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Dahan, "I really think my daughter is great. When Su Fen wakes up, you can't say anything about having a son, or I won't allow it."

Gu Dahan nodded.

Chen Sufen would often touch her belly and tell Man'er that there was a little brother inside, which Tong Huaqiong naturally heard.

In this era, sons were very important in the family. If there were no sons, the family line would be cut off and the land and property would be distributed to nephews and nieces under the auspices of the clan.

It's understandable that Gu Dahan and Chen Sufen wanted a son since they already had a daughter.

Since the baby was a girl, Tong Huaqiong was afraid that Chen Sufen would be heartbroken. Therefore, she instructed Gu Dahan not to discuss the matter of having a son with Chen Sufen.

As for whether the two of them want to have more sons in the future, and how many they want, Tong Huaqiong will not interfere.

However, Tong Huaqiong would not tolerate any dislike they might have for their daughter who had arrived.

Ma the midwife clicked her tongue. She couldn't see any displeasure in Tong Huaqiong, and after hearing Tong Huaqiong personally instruct Gu Dahan, she finally believed that she really didn't care that her daughter-in-law only gave birth to daughters and not sons.

“Dahan, your mother is right, daughters are just as good. It’s a blessing that your wife gave you two daughters. As the saying goes, flowers bloom before fruits ripen. The two flowers have already bloomed, so just wait and see, there will surely be two fruits in the future,” the midwife said to Gu Dahan.

Like most people of this era, Ma, the midwife, still thought daughters were better, and it would be even better if she could give birth to a son, so her congratulations to Gu Dahan were off-topic.

She's forgotten about Xiaolong.

Gu Dahan chuckled and said, "Our Xiaolong is a son."

The midwife slapped her thigh, realizing she had forgotten about this fourth route.

Tong Huaqiong didn't mind, after all, the midwife Ma had no bad intentions.

"You've worked so hard."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Zhang."

Tong Huaqiong stuffed the two red envelopes into the hands of Ma the midwife and Zhang Shengshou.

The midwife squeezed the envelope, finding at least five taels of silver inside. A smile spread across her face; she genuinely hoped the Gu family would prosper. Zhang Shengshou, still angry at being captured by Su Chengmin halfway through, grabbed the red envelope, felt the silver inside, and asked Tong Huaqiong who in her family still needed their pulse checked.

Such a generous customer is only found among the wealthy Huang family and Tong Huaqiong in the entire Yanguan Town; he must maintain this relationship.

Everyone gathered around to congratulate Tong Huaqiong on the addition of another member to her family.

When the midwife announced that Chen Sufeng had given birth to another daughter, some people sighed while others were secretly delighted. But now, seeing Tong Huaqiong, they not only felt no regret, but were actually very happy.

So congratulatory words were showered on Tong Huaqiong like they were free.

"What's the use of Manager Tong's large fortune if she doesn't have many children? Chen Sufeng gave birth to two daughters in a row. No wonder Gu Dahan brought one home from outside before," a jealous old woman in the village muttered.

Her daughter-in-law applied for a job at the embroidery workshop but failed, and she was still angry. When she heard that Chen Sufen had given birth to a daughter, she felt relieved.

A chatterbox can't help but grumble and make sarcastic remarks.

Xiaoxi, Chen Sufeng's maid, was serving her ginseng soup when she heard this. She walked to the door and confronted the old woman, saying, "So what if she gave birth to two daughters? My master treats his eldest daughter-in-law like a treasure because she gave birth to two daughters. Unlike your daughter-in-law, who gave birth to two sons, she doesn't even get a bowl of brown sugar water, let alone ginseng soup."

“If you keep talking nonsense in front of my house, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

Xiaoxi is bold and outspoken. In the time she's been in the village, she's already figured out all the relationships there, including the gossipy old woman's family affairs.

The gossipy old woman was furious, but dared not argue back. Her daughter-in-law wanted to work in the embroidery shop, and if she offended Tong Huaqiong, she wouldn't be able to get in next time.

So he gritted his teeth and slipped away along the wall.

Tong Huaqiong was worried that Chen Sufeng might encounter an emergency after giving birth, so she had the maids and servants cook and leave the midwife and Zhang Shengshou behind until Chen Sufeng was completely alright before releasing them.

Unfortunately, when Tong Huaqiong arrived in ancient times, her biggest fear was childbirth.

In modern times with advanced medical conditions, postpartum hemorrhage can occur several hours later, and Tong Huaqiong dared not gamble that Chen Sufeng would never encounter such a situation.

Ma the midwife and Zhang the doctor naturally did their best, after all, the red envelopes they were given were so generous, how could they not do their best?
It wasn't until dusk, when Chen Sufen had drunk two large bowls of chicken soup and was able to get out of bed and move around, that Su Chengmin finally sent Ma the midwife and Zhang Shengshou back.

Tong Huaqiong placed the child next to Chen Sufen's bed.

When Chen Sufen learned that she had given birth to another daughter, she felt a pang of disappointment and tearfully apologized to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong: "."

Tong Huaqiong said, "Sufen, in our family, it's the same whether you have a boy or a girl."

Chen Sufeng cried and said, "It's still different. Sons can pass the imperial examinations, become officials, and bring honor to the family, but daughters can't. If there are no sons in the family, they will be bullied."

Tong Huaqiong was speechless for a moment.

However, it is normal for Chen Sufeng to have this idea. As a pure ancient person, she is much better than most ancient people. She just wants a son, but never mistreats her daughter.

Did Chen Su-fen know what kind of person her Man'er would eventually become?

That was the woman who tripped up Gu Jingzhe in her previous life, making her an empress despite being a commoner.

A daughter like this doesn't bring honor to her ancestors; she doesn't know what else does.

However, Chen Sufen was naturally unaware of these things.

“Who says daughters can’t bring honor to their ancestors? I think Tao Hua’s business and shop opening is quite an achievement. If you’re bullied because you don’t have a son, that’s only in other people’s homes. In our family, who would dare to bully you? Would Gu Dashu dare, Gu Jingzhe dare, or Yaozu dare?” Tong Huaqiong said.

Tong Pandi, sitting next to her, chimed in, saying that having daughters is a blessing, and that she would spend her life taking care of her two daughters.

Chen Sufen thought for a moment, touched her youngest daughter's face, and became happy again.
