Chapter 486: There are three ways to be unfilial, but it is the worst to have no heirs.
Xiaoman looked at Sun Shan in distress. She really couldn't understand why her sisters could all give birth to sons but she couldn't?
After giving birth to the third girl, she has not been pregnant since.
Su secretly took her to see a doctor, who told her that she was weak and needed to take good care of herself before she could regenerate.
Su and Xiaoman didn't dare to let the Hong family know, so they took advantage of Huang's birthday to let Xiaoman stay at home with their daughter to recuperate.
But I took a lot of medicine, but there was still no effect.
Xiaoman felt sad.
In recent years, my father-in-law and husband have been able to get along well, but my mother-in-law is clearly dissatisfied. She dares not say it openly, but secretly speaks in a sarcastic way. Xiaoman is not a fool, so she can hear it.
In the past year, not only my mother-in-law has complaints, but my father-in-law and husband have also had complaints.
Xiaoman had no words to express her suffering. No matter where she went, even asking officials to seek justice, it was always her fault. She could not give birth to a son, which was unacceptable anywhere.
Xiaoman is having a hard time, but he has no one to cry to, so he can only stay at home all day without going out.
The news that Sun Shan had passed the imperial examination not long ago improved the atmosphere at home, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also asked him and his wife to go back to his parents' home as soon as possible to help.
However, Xiaoman believes that such an atmosphere will not last long. As time goes by, as long as she cannot give birth to a son, it will be a sin.
Su analyzed the situation with her these past two days and told her to try to get pregnant and give birth to a son as soon as possible.
In the past few years, the Hong family certainly didn't dare to do anything to her. After all, she had a younger brother who was a juren, which was unique in Huangyang County, and no one dared to bully her.
But she couldn't give birth to a son, so it was useless even if she had a younger brother who was an official.
There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. It makes no sense to say it anywhere.
The window period left for Xiaoman is at most ten years, and at least five years, so Su persuaded Xiaoman to hurry up and give birth to a son.
Of course, Su also told Xiaoman that the Hong family did not dare to divorce her.
Their family had only two choices: one was to find a woman to give birth to a son, and then the son would be considered Xiaoman's son.
The second is adopted brothers or young boys in the clan.
However, most men would choose the first one, and go out to find a woman to give birth to a son. At most, the mother would not bring the child home and would just give her some money to send her away.
One's own blood is always better than one's brother's blood. All normal men want their own flesh and blood.
The Hong family is not the kind of family that is so poor that they can’t afford food or marry a wife.
So there is no such thing as a man without a woman giving birth to a son for him.
Su analyzed the situation with Xiaoman, but never told Xiaoman that there was a third option, which was to divorce and return to her parents' home.
Su believed that a woman would only return to her parents' home when she had no other choice or was forced into a desperate situation.
For example, Su's eldest sister, Second Aunt Su, it was because the man didn't want her, not because she chose to leave on her own. She had no choice but to return to her parents' home because she was forced to do so.
Mrs. Su believed that Xiaoman's return to her parents' home could only be due to the situation of Second Aunt Su.
Of course, this situation is difficult to happen. There is Hong Xiucai watching over him, and there is Sun Shan's younger brother.
Hong Chenglin wanted to divorce Xiaoman and marry someone else, but the resistance was very great.
Su did not give Xiaoman a third choice, but Sun Shan did.
Sun Shan held Xiaoman's hand tightly and said very seriously and gently, "Third sister, don't be afraid. Even if you can't give birth to a son, you can't give birth to a son. It's no big deal.
You already have three daughters. They are also your children and my nephews.
Third sister, if you really have to, you can choose to go home.
Look at our Sun family, we have so many rooms. Not to mention you alone, Shaoting and three others can all live there.
Third sister, don't forget that I, your brother, am now a scholar. This is unique in Huangyang County. With my status, no one dares to bully you. "
Xiaoman's eyes were red and she could no longer hold back her tears.
She shook her head and said, "Shanzi, I'm married now, how can I go back to my parents' home? Even if you don't mind, my mother, father, and the elders will mind. Married girls always go back to their parents' home and divorce at any time, which is not good for the reputation of our Sun family girls.
Besides, I can't give birth to a son, which is totally unreasonable. Whatever the Hong family wants to do is justified. Shanzi, I know you want to protect me, but you can't do this. It's my fault, not the Hong family's fault. "
Xiaoman has always wanted to find someone to talk to, but after looking for a lot, she saw that everyone else had given birth to sons. Who could understand her confusion?
Even my mother, Mrs. Su, wouldn't understand.
Maybe I could understand it when I didn’t have a brother, but now that the hardship has paid off, I probably don’t remember the fear I felt back then.
Xiaoman is experiencing this right now. Maybe she can get through this hurdle, or maybe she will never be able to.
Xiaoman was full of fear and anxiety.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Third sister, let others say whatever they want. I don't mind, so who would mind?
Say something unpleasant.
Third sister, I am younger than you. If you return to your parents' home, I can protect you until you grow old. As for what happens after death, we are all dead and reincarnated, so why should we care so much? As long as I am here, you can stay in your parents' home. No one can drive you away.
I will be the one who makes the decisions for the Sun family from now on. Third sister, you know my temper. My father and mother must listen to me. "
Sun Shan's words were so powerful that Xiaoman was stunned.
Sun Shan continued, "Third sister, tell me the truth. The Hong family doesn't dare to divorce you. Whether you want to stay in the Hong family or the Sun family, it's all up to you."
Sun Shan analyzed to Xiaoman what the Hong family would do if she couldn't give birth to a son.
In fact, this is the approach analyzed by Su.
One is to find someone to give birth to a son, kill the mother and keep the son for Xiaoman to raise. The other is to adopt a brother or a boy from the clan.
As for Xiu Xiaoman, unless the Hong family has a high-ranking official and a backer.
Obviously, there is none at present, and there won’t be any in the next decade or so.
On the contrary, Sun Shan is the biggest supporter of the Hong family. If Xiao Man wants to take a leave, I am afraid that no one in the Hong family will agree.
Sun Shan said to Xiao Man very calmly, "Third sister, if you can give birth to a son, that would be the best and everyone would be happy.
If you can't have a baby, the Hong family is willing to adopt a boy from the clan. We welcome that and you should accept it.
If the Hong family wants to find another woman to give birth, they can kill the mother and keep the child. If you don't want to, don't argue, just divorce and go back to your parents' home.
The Sun family is big enough to accommodate you."
Sun Shan couldn't use his identity to prevent the Hong family from having a son. After all, the Hong family had the right to have a son. He couldn't stop the Hong family from having a son just because Xiaoman couldn't give birth.
This world doesn't make sense.
If you can't get along, then break up. The property should be divided, and compensation should be paid. If you can't part ways amicably, then go your separate ways and have no further connection.
The only thing Sun Shan could do was to give Xiaoman a port to dock and let her have a home.
Although Sun Shan is not wealthy now, he can still afford to support three girls, Xiaoman, Shaoting and others.
It is possible to provide Xiaoman and her daughter with sufficient material supplies.
As for spiritual comfort, there is really no way. It all depends on what Xiaoman thinks.
Xiaoman stared at Sun Shan closely without saying a word.
Sun Shan didn't know what she was thinking and held her hands tightly.
As gentle as the spring breeze: "Third sister, you have to remember. You have many paths to choose from. It's up to you to choose. Don't be swayed by others. Don't be afraid, you still have me and the Sun family behind you. You have to remember that you are not alone, and you are not helpless. You will not be like Second Aunt, and our Shao Ting will not be like Big Sister and Cousin."
Xiaoman's face was full of tears. She nodded heavily and said "hmm".
Sun Shan wiped her face with his sleeve and sighed secretly.
The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was as silver, and the stars were twinkling. Only Sun Shan and Sun Xiaoman were left in the Sun family's old house.
