Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Acting Like a Young Mistress Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Acting Like a Young Mistress But this time, Jiang Changhe wasn’t displeased. Instead, he looked at his asking aunt and said very confidently, “Aunt, my wife’s baby is absolutely a boy.”

Zhang Guihua, hearing their conversation, also chimed in, “Yes, the second son’s wife is carrying a boy. An Immortal told us in a dream.”

The old lady who had almost fought with her earlier burst into laughter as if she had heard a huge joke.

“Oh, Zhang Guihua, I think you’re so desperate for a grandson that you’ve dreamt such dreams. I see Xiao Juan’s belly and it’s mostly likely a girl.”

This was absolutely a blatant lie!

After all, Zhao Xiaojuan’s belly was just over three months along and you couldn’t even tell she was showing with clothes on, who knows where she was seeing from.

“You gossiping women better stop talking nonsense. The second son’s wife is definitely carrying a boy. I think you are all just jealous our family is doing well and just want to say things that are upsetting.”

Zhang Guihua glared protectively like a mother hen at the few women insisting that Zhao Xiaojuan had a girl in her belly.

“Fine, fine, fine, the child is still in the womb and hasn’t been born, you can say whatever you want. When it turns out to be a girl, I’d like to see how you turn it into a boy.”

“Turn what turn, we originally have a boy, no need to change anything. The Immortal said it’s a boy, whatever you say doesn’t count.”

Seeing her so determined, the few did not retort further, afraid she might truly start hitting people in her frustration. They didn’t want to lose their work points, nor did they want to stand there and be hit.

After all, Zhang Guihua really wanted a grandson, and it seemed she was somewhat obsessed over it.

At that moment, another young wife said, “Aunt, Sister-in-law Wanyu is really blessed to have married into your family, she’s practically treated like a young lady of leisure.”

Even though the village women verbally expressed their disdain for Su Wanyu’s laziness and gluttony, many secretly envied her good fortune, doing the easiest chores after marrying into the Jiang family.

And the notorious Grandma Diao, who usually loved to pick on her daughters-in-law, sneered provokingly, “Exactly, as a mother-in-law, you have to work in the fields every day, while she, a daughter-in-law, just idles at home every day. Your son is practically being raised by someone else.”

The old lady already disliked Su Wanyu for being lazy and greedy, and now being squeezed and mocked, she felt even more annoyed.

But she knew those speaking were just jealous of their family’s harmony, hoping to incite conflict for their amusement.

If she truly believed their words and went home to cause trouble for the eldest son’s wife, that would be exactly falling into their trap.

So, Zhang Guihua said in the warm tone of a good mother-in-law, “Oh, you have misunderstood. My eldest son’s wife is not lazy or avoiding work. She has health issues. Just a few days ago, she almost had an asthma attack while working at home. I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law, so I let her rest at home. It’s not like your family, where the daughter-in-law has to work in the fields right after giving birth, almost worked to death.”

What Zhang Guihua was referring to was exactly what the trouble-making Grandma Diao had done.

The notorious Grandma Diao, seeing her past deeds being brought up, suddenly felt somewhat guilty. She knew Zhang Guihua’s sharp tongue never held back and immediately stopped talking.

Meanwhile, the village’s young wives and daughters-in-law began to envy Su Wanyu.

The men were promising, working in town, and the girl was a well-known prodigy in the village.
