The other people at the same table also took advantage of Mrs. Wang and could only watch helplessly as others ate their food.
Every time when the dishes were brought, Dumei, Tian Niu, Wintersweet, and Begonia all walked around her. They were obviously closest to the kitchen, but they were the last ones served. The angry Wang Po gritted her teeth and could only talk to Datong with a smile on her face.
Datong looked at the busy female relatives. Although he was not a man, he had no male chauvinist ideas. He wanted to go over and help, but he was stopped by Granny Wang time and time again. This was what Granny Haitang specifically asked Granny Wang to do.
We cannot let the Number One Scholar work, as his hands will be used for sealing in the future.
"Datong, I have watched you grow up. Your mother has worked hard on you. You must be filial to her in the future." Wang Po looked at Datong, her eyes almost narrowed into a set of threads.
Now, if he were several decades younger, he would want to marry him.
"Aunt Wang is right. I will honor my mother well. It is not easy for my mother to raise me with all the hard work. I heard that you also delivered my daughter Tian Tian. Datong thanks me again." Datong knew that Mrs. Wang was kind to him.
, but didn’t know that she had now changed from a midwife to a matchmaker.
"Filial piety is not something to talk about, Datong, it will be done at that time. Don't you scholars pay attention to the rule of the country by the family, and the Qi family ranks first." Wang Po said while waiting for the dishes.
"I have already settled my family and have children. Thank you Aunt Wang for caring about me." Datong didn't understand what she meant. Maybe she had delivered too many children and had forgotten Tian Tian.
"Silly boy, the Qi family doesn't just marry one wife, it means three wives and four concubines. Since ancient times, which family hasn't been like this? Those who can't afford it don't count. Besides, the girl born by Haitang is not an heir.
After more than ten years, when you get married and pass on the family lineage to someone else, you have to have someone to guide you, and then you can call him an heir."
The food hadn't been served yet, so Mrs. Wang had to continue eating melon seeds. Everything on the table was almost eaten.
"My wife and I will work hard on this." Datong lowered his head in shame, not because he was ashamed of not having a son, but because Aunt Wang said such unpalatable words in front of so many people, making Datong ashamed.
He didn't want to discuss such an issue with her anymore, and he didn't even bother to eat. Just when he was about to find a reason to get up and walk away, his mother came over and held him down.
"Aunt Wang is someone who has been here before. What she said makes sense. You should listen carefully, my son."
"I was the one who delivered your daughter when she was born. Based on my many years of experience, I know that Haitang will not be able to give birth to a son if she gives birth to another ten or eight." Aunt Wang lowered her voice.
Datong was even more blushing and thick-necked when he said this. He was an elder and it was difficult to refute him face to face. This was still the case when he was entertaining guests at home.
"I see you, you have to do it early. Don't worry, aunt is keeping an eye on you."
"Tian Niu, serve the food quickly." the old lady shouted.
"I'm sorry, I really have to go for a convenience. I'll come back later, later." Datong went out with a red face, his face was still hot, hot...
I didn't mean to make a fuss, I just wanted to get away from the table and get some fresh air.
"Sister, what do you think? Can Datong agree?" Granny Haitang inquired.
"A scholar has a thin skin and wants to marry her a wife. He doesn't say anything, but he is actually happy in his heart." Aunt Wang was sure of this matter.
