A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

Even though it was confirmed in 1956 that the sex of a child is determined by the male, this knowledge was not popularized among the general public, even if some people did know it.

However, many older generations have heard the saying "a woman can't give birth to a son if she's not worthy" their whole lives, and their views change very slowly. They still blame women for not being able to give birth to a son.

"Lin Wan, what do you mean by this?" Liu Guiying asked, puzzled. "You're not saying that the sex of a child is determined by the man, are you?"

Jiang Linwan nodded: "That's right, women only have the ability to reproduce, while men's chromosomes determine whether a child is a boy or a girl..."

Liu Guiying looked surprised, but quickly raised her chin and said confidently, "If I don't give birth to a son this time, then it's not my fault, it's all your brother-in-law's fault."

"Lin Wan, you absolutely must speak up for me then."

Jiang Linwan nodded, knowing that everyone valued their sons more than their own lives, and that it was shameful for any family not to have a son.

These men clearly rely on women to serve them both at home and outside, yet they still complain that women are useless. They really want both and have no shame.

Especially some parents, who say they want to have sons to carry on the family line, but don't even consider whether their own family has a throne.

If sons can provide for you in your old age, and daughters are like water spilled out, then why not just let your sons take care of you in your old age? Why make your daughters take care of you when you're in the hospital?

Didn't they say that spilled water is useless?

After seeing Liu Guiying off, Jiang Linwan made a simple dinner, tidied up, and went back to her room after eating.

Lying in bed, she couldn't calm down. Thinking of Liu Guiying's words, she felt that Lu Qiyue might have returned.

They've been back for so long, yet they still haven't gone home. Could something have happened?

Or perhaps her mention of divorce hurt him, but if they didn't divorce, what if people found out she was helping her grandfather and the others in the future?

Lu Qiyue's hard-earned career will also be affected.

If they really had to get a divorce, she would be very reluctant to part with such a good man as Qiyue.

Not only is he able to earn money to support his family, but he also thoughtfully helps with housework. Plus, he's handsome, and his physique is... well, you know.

Jiang Linwan, thinking of those faces blushing like monkey bottoms, quickly patted her cheeks: "Jiang Linwan, what happened to make you such a pervert!"

On the other side, Lu Qiyue went to Liu Guiying's house as soon as he returned. He knew about the grievances she had suffered during this period. He originally wanted to go back and see her and then warn Cui Fusheng.

Unexpectedly, he heard that she had already bought a house. Does that mean she would move out as soon as he got back?

This woman is really heartless. She's slept with him so many times, and she turns on him like that.

He dared not go home, so he went to Commander Yang's house instead. Zhao Liping was surprised to see him return covered in dust and grime: "Xiao Lu, you've come back from a mission without going home first."

Although she despised Jiang Linwan's ruthlessness in severing ties with her family, she didn't gossip about other people's relationships, nor would she try to sow discord among them.

"Auntie, I have something I want to tell you."

Zhao Liping immediately noticed something was off about his voice; it was colder than usual. Thinking of what had happened at the family compound that day, her expression also darkened: "Xiao Lu, you've come to me angry because of your wife!"

Upon hearing the noise, Commander Yang immediately put down his newspaper and came out. As soon as he saw Lu Qiyue return, he walked out with a smile on his face and patted him on the shoulder: "Good lad, you did a good job on this mission."

Your wife is amazing too. She made a great contribution when you were on a mission. I heard from Lao Song that she extended the lives of cancer patients.

It has also provided new insights into cancer research; your wife is so young yet possesses astonishing abilities.

After he finished speaking, he saw the two people in the yard, both with cold expressions and not saying a word. He felt a little embarrassed and touched the tip of his nose.

He turned to his daughter-in-law and scolded her, "Liping, I'm telling you, you're so old, why are you still arguing with the children?"

"I wouldn't dare to hold a grudge against Xiao Lu. The eldest brother is gone, and the second brother is far away from me too."

"I've always treated Xiao Lu like a son all these years, and the first thing he did when he came back was to settle scores with me about his wife." Zhao Liping's eyes reddened slightly.

Seeing his wife like this, Commander Yang sighed and tugged at Lu Qiyue: "Qiyue, don't blame your aunt. You know what your aunt's family is like."

She dislikes people who cut ties with their families as soon as something happens; she thinks such people are selfish and self-serving…

"My wife is not selfish, and she has not cut ties with her family. It was her grandfather who insisted on cutting ties with her."

"And the reason she married me was for her family." Lu Qiyue stood there, his back ramrod straight. Aunt Yang took good care of him, but he didn't want his wife to suffer any grievances.

The women in the family compound are the most opportunistic and sycophantic. When Aunt Yang developed a grudge against her daughter-in-law, those people also became hostile towards her daughter-in-law.

Sometimes, people's words can be terrifying, and they can bully people invisibly. His wife has already been pitiful enough, and he doesn't want her to be misunderstood and bullied by those people anymore.

Gu Anrou, who was standing behind the main room door, brightened up when she heard this. She quickly walked out, supporting her belly, and said to Zhao Liping, "Mom, I understand. Jiang Linwan must have married Lu Qiyue to take care of her family."

Zhao Liping's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, but she frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Jiang Linwan's family is on our island?"

Lu Qiyue nodded.

Gu Anrou was overjoyed, she hadn't expected that she had guessed right: "I knew that Lin Wan was such a kind-hearted person, how could she possibly abandon her family?"

Song Manru has always held a grudge against Lin Wan, and she definitely said those things on purpose to sow discord among you.

Zhao Liping's face turned ugly, and she was even more embarrassed that she had fallen for her trick. She looked at Lu Qiyue and said, "Alright, if you don't have anything else to do, hurry back and check on your wife."

"Why are you rushing me? It's not easy for Xiao Lu to come to the hospital. Let him have dinner at home before going back," Commander Yang said with a smile, trying to give his wife a way out.

Lu Qiyue didn't dare to go back now, afraid that his wife would divorce him if he went back. He nodded, and Aunt Yang saw that he didn't refuse, so she smiled and went to the kitchen to cook.

They waited until after 7 p.m., after they had finished eating, when there was a knock on the door. Zhao Liping quickly got up and asked curiously, "Who is it? What brings you here so late at night?"

As soon as she opened the door, Song Manru knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Aunt Yang, please help me get my child back. I really know I was wrong."

Zhao Liping saw Song Manru's face turn ugly: "What's the use of begging me? You were the one who didn't want him in the first place."

"I already know I was wrong. I've lost Jiang Xun, and I can't lose him and our child too." Song Manru's sobbing attracted Commander Yang and Gu Anrou and the others.

Zhao Liping directly rejected Song Manru. Song Manru glanced at Commander Yang and Lu Qiyue, and finally her gaze fell on Gu Anrou's big belly: "Anrou, you are about to become a mother too."

You surely understand a mother's feelings. I truly know I was wrong. I will treat Zixuan well from now on. Please beg your mother-in-law to give my child back to me.

Gu Anrou was startled and instinctively stepped back, but her heel tripped on a protruding brick.
