Love at First Novel

The old lady smiled and said, "Sonny is very sensible and well behaved. When he is naughty, he is really naughty. As long as he is quiet, he must be causing trouble."

Serenity took over the conversation. "One time, he was playing by himself quietly, and I wanted to see what he was playing with, but it turned out that he was playing with my skin care products and makeup, and the lipstick was all over the table and the floor. He even painted his mouth and face with it, which made me laugh and cry."

Imagining the scene, everyone laughed.

Sonny felt embarrassed by everyone's laughter, so he buried his head in Old Mr. Jimenez's arms and called softly, "Great Grandpa, my aunt laughed at me."

Old Mr. Jimenez's heart melted when he was called "Great Grandpa." He immediately protected Sonny and said to Serenity, "Miss Serenity, don't laugh at Sonny. Children are like this when they are young. Your mother was also very naughty when she was young. When your mother was a child, she would pour out the owner's collection of fine wine, smash the bottles, and cut everywhere with a pair of small scissors. I don't know how many of our clothes were damaged by her. Later, Madam Matriarch told everyone to put the scissors up high so that Harlow couldn't get them. Sonny inherited his grandmother's mischievousness."

Serenity laughed. "That's the energy to get into trouble. My mom loved getting into trouble when she was little. In our memory, my mom is a very gentle person, very filial, and has a very good relationship with my dad. But filial children are often not the most beloved children of their parents."

When she finished speaking, Serenity's smile disappeared.

When her parents died unexpectedly, she was already ten years old, sensible, and had memories.

She just remembered that her grandparents were unfair to her parents and often bullied them. They also disliked her mother for only giving birth to two daughters, saying that this had cut off the family line for their three sons. They asked her to either secretly give birth to a son, as family planning was strictly enforced at that time.

The parents had two daughters, and according to policy, they were not allowed to have more children.

If you want to have another child, you have to do it secretly. You have to hide from others when you are pregnant, for fear that the family planning officials will find out and come to your house to force you to have an abortion or get the baby r*ped.

Otherwise, the things in the house would be moved out. Anyway, family planning was enforced quite strictly at that time.

Parents who have rural household registration and whose first child is a daughter are allowed to have a second child.

If the second child is a daughter, you cannot have another child.

Serenity didn't know whether her mother had a sterilization, but she knew that her parents had said they would not have a third child. They said that if they had a son, everyone would love him, and it would be unfair to the two daughters.

So the parents insisted on not having a son, thinking that two daughters were also good, and as long as they were brought up well, sons and daughters were the same.

Now let's look at this realistic problem.

In rural areas, the current situation of many people is that those who have sons in the family are still working hard, even at an old age, to buy a house for their sons and to marry them off. After they get married, the sons have to help take care of their grandchildren. Some people self-deprecatingly say that after raising their sons, they still have to raise their grandchildren.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Families with only daughters and no sons are always criticized behind m their backs for cutting off the family line or for having no male heirs in the family.

However, for families with only daughters, life will be much easiem when the parents get older. If the daughters and sons-in-law are filial, they will be happier in their later years.

Her mother often told her and her sister to study hard and become m better, saying that this society was still harsh on women and that as long as they became better, they would not be looked down upon. Zachary held Serenity's hand.

Whenever she mentioned her parents, her mood would become depressed.

The pain that the death of their parents brought to the two sisters was something they would never forget and would be difficult to heal.

This was also why the two sisters could never truly forgive their relatives in their hometown.
