Qiu Baizhou and Ruan Chu, the two law majors, frowned at the same time. “This is considered going over the child limit.”
Although the child limit in the country was more relaxed because of the aging population, there were many places where they could only give birth to three children.
Not to mention that Sun Jianmin’s children were obviously born before the country relaxed its childbirth policies.
Sun Jianmin was obviously used to hearing such words, so he didn’t take it too seriously. He said with a smile, “We’ve already given birth. There’s nothing we can do about it. We can only raise them. Besides, aren’t they encouraging childbirth now?”
“Then why did you think of giving birth to so many children at that time? With your family’s situation, it must be difficult to raise so many children, right?” Gu Yang looked around Sun Jianmin’s courtyard.
There was no shortage of land in the countryside. Sun Jianmin’s courtyard was also big. It consisted of an unrenovated three-story cement building and two bungalows. In the middle was a tall old grapefruit tree, and a chicken coop was built beside the grapefruit tree.
Of the two bungalows, one was more well-equipped and had a chimney above it. It was obviously used as a kitchen.
The other was an abandoned mud house. The yellow mud wall was cracked, and the wooden door was closed. There was only a small window enough for someone to look out. There was no light inside, and through the small window, it was dark.
From the outside, Sun Jianmin’s family’s financial situation was not good. They were probably considered average in Qingsha Village.
Gu Yang was beautiful and lively, and her words were gentle and soft. She gave people the feeling that she was gentle, obedient, and very amiable. It was very difficult for people to be wary of her.
Sun Jianmin also thought that the young lady was kind-hearted and concerned about his family’s situation. He sighed and said, “I got married late and didn’t get a wife in my thirties. The villagers mocked me for not having a son to send me off in my old age.
“I’ve been holding back my anger. After I got a wife, I gave birth to children one after another. Now that I have nine sons, who would dare to look down on Toward the end, Sun Jianmin felt proud and elated.
However, when he thought about how these celebrities were here to help the poor, Sun Jianmin started to talk about how difficult it was for him. “It’s quite tiring to raise so many children, not to mention that I have an 80-year-old mother and a disabled brother at home.”
The eldest son, Sun Kang, also said, “That’s right. It wasn’t easy for Dad to raise the nine of us.’
“You have so many sons. Don’t you have daughters?” Qiu Baizhou asked suddenly.
Sun Jianmin and Sun Kang were stunned. Qiu Baizhou was a cool and serious lawyer, so they were unable to remain calm talking to him.
Sun Kang did not dare to look directly at Qiu Baizhou. His eyes flickered. “I don’t have a younger sister.”
“Girls…” Sun Jianmin smiled honestly. “I’m lucky. They’re all sons, not a single girl. ”
The women present frowned, feeling uncomfortable with this obvious preference for boys.
Qiao Xuan scoffed coldly and did not care that this was a live broadcast. She mocked, “Just because you don’t have a daughter it’s considered good fortune, huh? Why did you marry a woman then?”
Qiao Xuan was born in a village and was born into a family that favored boys over girls. She had two younger brothers.
She had good grades since she was young and was one of the top students. She was originally admitted to university, but because she wanted to provide for her two younger brothers to study in a technical school, her parents tore her admission letter and forced her to drop out of school to work.
How could an 18-year-old girl escape from her parents’ arrangements when she was not financially independent and was not mature enough?
Her dream of college was shattered.
Even though she was accidentally discovered by a talent scout and entered the entertainment industry, becoming a big star with boundless fame, she still couldn’t get over it when she thought of the admission letter that was torn apart and mixed with tears..
