I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1487 Su Shi Instructs Xiaoxiao to Call Her Zhaodi

The general public paid very little attention to how the Wen family would distribute their assets, focusing entirely on the fact that Leng had been a jinx to her husband.

Sun Bomin and Su Shi in the backyard were completely different. After hearing about the "heirship case," they couldn't sleep day and night, and the couple focused their attention on having an heir.

Even Sun Bomin had some complaints when he saw Sister Yun passing by.

Su hugged the chubby little girl and glared at Yun'er's departing figure.

He said to Sun Bomin, "Honey, what did Master Zhang say last time? When will our Shanzi have a son? We've been married for so many years, other people's grandsons are old enough to run errands, but what about us? We don't even have a son yet."

As for the chubby little girl in my arms, she's just a little brat and not worth mentioning.

Sun Bomin sighed, his deep, cloudy eyes looking at the newly planted vegetable patch.

He said sullenly, "You ask me? Who should I ask? We're just unlucky people; no matter how much we hope, we'll never have a grandson."

Sun Bomin felt extremely sad. He was destined to be childless. It was bad enough that his biological son became a distant relative, but even this distant relative son had no children. What should he do?

Is it not enough for me to sever my father-son relationship with Shanzi?

Could it be that I am somehow incompatible with Shanzi, preventing him from having a son?

Sun Bomin pursed his lips and muttered, "Why don't we go back to Sunjia Village and stay here in Keshanzi?"

He wondered if he was unlucky and might bring misfortune to his family, which was why Shanzi had no children.

Su looked at Sun Bomin speechlessly, her eyes wide as she asked, "Master, what do you mean by that? What Keshanzi? If we had Keshanzi, he wouldn't be so successful. Humph, I'm not going back to Sunjia Village."

She wants her to go back to Sunjia Village? No way!

He wouldn't go back to that remote mountain place; he wanted to stay in the Yuanlu County government office and enjoy his life.

The Su family never engaged in internal strife, unlike Sun Bomin who was filled with sorrow. They pointed in the direction where Yun Jie'er had just left.

She said matter-of-factly, "Husband, Shanzi's inability to give birth to a son is entirely his wife's fault. Humph, she's been married into our Sun family for so long and only given birth to a girl. What about the others? They had a son on their first child. If it's not his wife's fault, whose fault is it?"

He paused, then continued, "Giving birth to a girl is bad enough, but after so long, she still hasn't gotten pregnant with a second child. It's obviously a problem with the daughter-in-law."

Like Yongge'er, he had daughters one after another, but he's got the capacity to have many. As long as you have a lot of children, you'll eventually have a grandson. Look at our daughter-in-law, she's only had one daughter, Fei Mei, all these years, it's infuriating!

After saying that, Mrs. Su patted her chest, getting angrier the more she thought about it.

In an instant, he even disliked the chubby little girl in his arms.

Pointing at the chubby girl, he scolded, "You chubby girl, all you do all day is eat, eat, eat! What else can you do besides eat? I think your name is Zhaodi, so bring Grandma a little brother back."

Fat Girl had just finished her needlework class when she ran to the vegetable garden to find Sun Bomin and Su Shi.

At this time, Grandpa and Grandma would secretly give him pastries.

Just now, Sister Yun floated by lightly, which frightened Little Fatty so much that she immediately hid in Su's arms and buried her head in her pastries.

Although Little Fatty didn't quite understand what Su said, she vaguely sensed that her grandmother disliked her.

It's one thing for Grandma to dislike me, since she does it all the time; the most important thing is that I've noticed Grandpa is starting to dislike me too, saying I'm a girl, not a boy.

The chubby girl said with a wronged expression, "Grandma, my name is Xiaoxiao, not Feimei or Zhaodi."

Su was about to scold you for bringing your younger brother instead of your name, Zhaodi.

Sun Bomin waved his hand.

She glared at Madam Su and said, "What are you talking about? How can our Xiaoxiao be called Zhaodi?"

She paused, then murmured, "Even if she weren't called Zhaodi, our Shanzi would still have a son."

The little chubby girl instantly felt her grandfather's love for her again. She arched her chubby body, landed on the ground, and clutched the pastries tightly in her hands before rushing into Sun Bomin's arms.

She called out softly, "Grandpa, Xiaoxiao loves Grandpa the most."

Looking at the chubby, pink-cheeked little girl, Sun Bomin felt a tiny bit better.

Holding his chubby little girl, he said, "Grandpa's sweet granddaughter, Grandpa loves to laugh."

He turned to Su and scolded, "Don't say such nonsense again. If your daughter-in-law can have her first child, she can definitely have a second. I think the best course of action is to find Taoist Zhang and get some fertility medicine for Shanzi and Yun'er to drink. Instead of complaining here, we should think of some solutions."

Sun Bomin's eyes were red and his nose was sore as he said, "Why is it so hard for our family to have children, while other families have it so easy?"

Madam Su immediately objected: "Master, what do you mean our family is in trouble? I think it's He family's daughter who's in trouble. What does it have to do with our Shanzi? It's obvious our daughter-in-law is useless."

He paused, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "We need to take our daughter-in-law to see a doctor; it's clearly her problem!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry, leaving behind a bewildered Sun Bomin and the chubby girl who was munching on pastries.

Su pretended to walk into Yun Jie'er's courtyard.

Yun Jie was idly reading a storybook when she suddenly heard her mother-in-law coming to find her.

She frowned and asked, "Granny, what does my mother-in-law want with me? Is it about Xiaoxiao?"

Granny He didn't know what was going on, but through the window she saw Su Shi running over in a huff, still wearing her mud-covered farm clothes.

He asked in a low voice, "Miss, did you say anything when you passed by the vegetable garden just now?"

Yun Jie'er replied with a bewildered look, "Granny, I didn't say anything! I just told my mother-in-law and father-in-law not to do too much work and to take care of their health."

While her parents-in-law were working, Yun-jie would ask them about their daily tasks as a matter of routine, to demonstrate her virtuousness.

How did she offend the Su family? How come she doesn't know?

Su walked to the front door and called out, "Daughter-in-law, come out."

Yun-jie quickly responded, "Mother, what is it?"

Su glanced around and saw Yun'er sitting leisurely in a recliner reading a book, with tea and pastries on the table next to her. Her carefree demeanor infuriated her.

Thinking of how hard her son Shanzi works, while his wife and children enjoy a life of comfort.

It's not that you can't enjoy life, but at least you have to have children to carry on the family line.

The more Su thought about it, the angrier she became. When she saw Yun Jie'er come out, she told the maids and nannies to leave.

He then burst into a tirade: "You He family, are you happy that we, the Sun family, are handing over our vast wealth to someone so talented?"

Sister Yun paused, her eyes darting around. The surroundings were empty; there wasn't a single helper in sight.

And my mother-in-law? She seemed very angry.

Knowing that she was famously strong and capable, I had never won against her when it came to competing for the chubby girl.

What if he suddenly punches me while we're talking?

Yun-jie took a step back in fear, and asked in confusion, "Mother, what did you say? Your daughter-in-law doesn't understand?"

He secretly threw a handkerchief on the ground, a signal to Granny He.

One was to let Granny He prepare, and the other was to let Granny He rush up to help.

The situation is serious, but fighting has not yet broken out; it remains to be seen.
