War Yin said, “I hope you get your grandmother’s 500 million reward.”
Hai Tong thought deeply about this question, she thought for a while and then said, “Your family has no daughters several generations up, it’s a feng shui pattern problem, right? Maybe your family’s feng shui pattern is that of two prosperous people, Ding, usually means more sons.”
War Yin said after a silent moment, “It’s also possible, because the ancestors did have daughters, but did not raise them, and since that female child died, our family has never produced a daughter. I remember that before my little aunt got pregnant with Lao Jiu, she had all kinds of conditioning, saying something about acidic birth of a daughter, and she ate all kinds of acidic food.”
“After she got pregnant with Lao Jiu, her pregnancy also looked different from her first two children, and the whole family thought that her birth would be a daughter, and when the foetus took shape, they got an acquaintance to help them look at it, and they said it was a daughter, and everyone went crazy with joy.”
War Yin recalled the events of that year, “I was a teenager at that time, so I was particularly impressed with what happened when my little aunt was pregnant with Lao Jiu, and I was particularly looking forward to the arrival of my little sister when I heard that she would be giving birth to a baby sister.”
“I also secretly prepared a lot of gadgets for my sister to play with, and when I saw that the adults in the family had bought a lot of pink clothes and shoes back, I secretly bought pink dresses for my sister too, and when my second and third were about the same age as me, they did the same.”
“By the time my little aunt gave birth to Lao Jiu that day, it happened to be a Saturday, and then our family, old and young, even the side lines of our War family, went to the hospital with so many people that it filled up the corridors.”
“Everyone was overjoyed, happier than the New Year, my grandmother was laughing so hard that her mouth split, full of expectation that she would be able to hold her granddaughter, only for the nurse to carry out a big fat kid, my grandmother’s reaction at the time was to grab the other nurse by the collar and question whether she had carried the wrong one.”
“She also said that my little aunt was obviously pregnant with a daughter, how come she carried out a fat boy, everyone suspected that the nurse had made a mistake, the nurse was in tears and laughed, explaining repeatedly that my little aunt was the only one in the delivery room and that she was giving birth to a son.”
Hai Tong wanted to laugh as she listened, imagining that image. m.
War Yin continued, “Everyone could only accept the reality, the nurse even muttered, saying something about how others would only be happy when they knew it was a son, just our family knew it was a son and chased them for a daughter, as if their hospital owed our family a daughter.”
“Then, the hundreds of people who were there, when they found out that our family had added a ninth son, dispersed, and the firecrackers that the family had prepared to set off were not set off either. Because they thought it was a daughter, all they prepared were girls’ clothes, and Little Nine wore pink clothes during those days in the hospital.”
“Only after he was discharged from the hospital did he change into his brother’s old clothes, and my youngest uncle dawdled for half a month before he went to buy new clothes for Xiaojiu. People outside say that our War family is a monk’s temple and can’t give birth to daughters, and even if they did, they couldn’t raise them.”
Hai Tong said, “I think it might be because your family’s ancestors built a house or an ancestral grave in a yin house, so that all your descendants had sons and it was hard to raise daughters.”
“The lodge we live in now was built by my grandfather’s generation, so it should be a problem with my grandfather’s generation’s residence or ancestral graves, and we haven’t thought about it, we haven’t asked a master to look at it. These days, there are very few masters with real material, and many of them are gods and goddesses who have learnt a little and come out to cheat some living expenses.”
“There are masters, but they are very few and far between, and it’s hard to find out where they have retired to.”
Hai Tong was interested in the metaphysics left behind by the old ancestors, and her bookstore had quite a few books on physiognomy, yang house feng shui and yin house feng shui, but unfortunately she didn’t have that kind of talent and couldn’t read those books.
Her customers are middle school students, and young people don’t believe in metaphysics, so who would read those books, which sit in the corner of the shelves in her bookstore like dusty beads waiting for someone to read them and help them wash away their beauty and shine.
“I’ll mention this to my grandmother some day, she’s old and knowledgeable, maybe she’s heard some legends of high people and really needs to find someone to look at, I want to have a daughter.” ……
War Yin is afraid that he is like his great grandfather’s generation, so easy to have a daughter, but the result is unable to raise, then it is simply the pain of gouging the heart and cutting the flesh.
Although it used to be that medical skills were limited, nowadays medical skills are superior, but sometimes, money doesn’t always buy life.
