Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1036

Chapter 1036: 249: A saying comes true

At this point, Mother Zuo grudgingly raised three fingers, "Fine, I swear!"

Seeing his mother had sworn the oath, Zuo Ling then handed the knife to her.

Taking the fruit knife, Mother Zuo felt a sigh of relief.

Zuo Ling continued, "Mom, don’t worry, Xiaoxi is a very good girl. She will take good care of you and dad in the future."

Mother Zuo sighed, "What’s the use of being filial? She can’t even give birth to a son! Our Zuo Family will be ruined by that woman!"

And who knows whether she’s genuinely filial or just pretending?

How filial can someone be who’s bewitched her own son into threatening his parents with his life?

Mother Zuo was now seething with suppressed anger!

Just wait.

Once that little bitch Shangguan Xi marries into our family, she’ll see how I’ll deal with her!

Zuo Ling said with a smile, "Mom, don’t worry. After we get married, I’ll have Xiaoxi quit her job to take care of you two at home, and then we can have two children. I guarantee every single one of them will be a boy!"

"You guarantee?" Mother Zuo looked at Zuo Ling, trying to suppress the fury in her heart, "You talk nicely, but what can you guarantee with? You must have been bewitched by that woman!"

It’s not like you can just say it and it happens.

People like Shangguan Xi, you can just tell she won’t give birth to a son.

Zuo Ling said with a smile, "Nowadays, with the advancement of science and technology, as long as one is five months pregnant, you can find out the gender of the baby. When Xiaoxi is pregnant, we’ll go to the hospital to check. If it’s a girl, we just abort it, right?"

In the 1980s, B-ultrasound was popular due to family planning reasons, and many families would go to unlicensed clinics to check the gender of the fetus during pregnancy.

If it was a girl, they would abort it; if a boy, they would keep it. This laid a severe foreshadowing for the unbalanced gender ratio in later generations.

Why would the dowry prices skyrocket in the future?

Because there are fewer and fewer girls and more and more boys.

Hearing this, Mother Zuo’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Zuo Ling nodded, "Would I lie to you?"

Mother Zuo asked, "How do you know this?"

"Our coworker Xiaosun just ended up with a big fat boy! Didn’t his wife first give birth to a little girl? I heard they aborted five times before finally having a boy!"
