Although Gu Nuan appeared very strong, Zhao Zirong was, after all, a man who was married with children, and he could tell what kind of woman was like his wife and suitable to be a homaker.
Gu Nuan was extrely suitable.
The reason was simple.
Attention to detail.
A good mother, the most basic requirent, must be attentive, plan everything, and unlike Xiao Shulan, confine the children completely due to actually lacking true confidence in her approach to education.
Gu Nuan had all these qualities.
This was sothing Zhao Zirong had never even considered before with his wife. Nice job, this little brother-in-law—despite rumors that he was a playboy and useless at everything, how could he have found such a precise match for a wife?
Little Yebai certainly wouldn’t casually reveal his secrets for choosing a wife, he and his wife were just a perfect match.
He had lacked maternal love since childhood; Gu Jinrong could cook and did household chores, her dostic skills were very strong, just right to fill the void in his little heart. Therefore, Yebai couldn’t help but cling to his wife.
Zhao Zirong pondered it over and over, his brain whirling, then a light bulb went off, and he said to his brother-in-law, "I’ve heard people say that if a child is around a pregnant woman carrying her first baby, it can affect the health and growth of the baby in the pregnant woman’s belly."
Xiao Yebai first frowned, then quickly recalled what people in the village said. Hadn’t he visited Lai’an Village recently? He had heard the villagers gossiping about various local customs, and although these things seed to have no scientific basis, sohow the elders and gossipy won could present them convincingly, making it hard not to believe them.
It seed they said that if a child stayed close to a pregnant woman, it could directly affect whether the unborn child would be a boy or a girl, ultimately giving the parents the gender they wished for.
Now hearing Zhao Zirong ntion this, it seed there really might be sothing to it, so Yebai’s imagination ran wild. He thought, if Zhao ngqing were to stay close to his wife, didn’t little boys prefer little girls? With Zhao ngqing around, wouldn’t his wife be likely to have a girl?
Yebai really wanted a girl first because they are good, like their mother. And everyone says a daughter is her father’s comfort.
That way, even if his wife were to have a boy later, eh, the girl, being the older sister, would side with him, her dad, and help him keep the boy from clinging to his wife.
The shrewd little Yebai pondered so hard he completely forgot any scientific thods and only rembered the change-the-weather tales told by the gossipy won in Lai’an Village. There was no helping it, if it was already a done deal, who else could Yebai believe but these tales?
"Brother-in-law, how about this, since you and the family are not in a position to take care of ngqing, and there’s no one else to entrust him to, Nuannuan and I happen to have the ti. Letting ngqing co back to the country to live with and Nuannuan for a while isn’t a bad idea," he said.
"Really?" Zhao Zirong’s eyes lit up, and his smile widened.
Xiao Yebai shuddered internally: Hadn’t he just fallen into Zhao Zirong’s trap?
Zhao Zirong quickly hid his joyful expression and pretended to consider, saying, "But ngqing has never lived with anyone else in our family before, I’ll need to go back and talk it over with him well."
"Okay." Yebai agreed surprisingly swiftly.
Zhao Zirong continued, "I think there shouldn’t be a big problem. ngqing likes his big sister. And ngjin has a good impression of you and your wife."
