Chapter 637: Such a Big Background

Shi Youxuan refused: "I'm not going in. If your mother-in-law sees me bringing you back this late, I'm afraid she'll eat me alive. Drink water? Who ends up in whose stomach is not yet certain."

Jin Wan'er knew that her mother-in-law did not like Shi Youxuan.

She joked: "It's okay, A Ning will protect you."

"No need, it's safer for me to go home and find my husband to protect me." Shi Youxuan waved at Jin Wan'er, then stepped on the gas and drove away.

As soon as Jin Wan'er entered the door, her mother-in-law hurried up to greet her: "Wan'er, where did you go? You worried me to death. I called you and you didn't answer. If you didn't come back, I was going to call the police."

She was helped by her mother-in-law to sit on the sofa: "I went to the Songzi Niangniang Miao to worship the Bodhisattva, and I also wanted to see the abbot you mentioned, but unfortunately, I didn't see her."

"I'll go with you tomorrow."

Lady Jian didn't think much of it, only assuming her daughter-in-law also valued worshipping the Songzi Niangniang, and she was quite happy.

"Okay."

Early the next morning.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the Songzi Niangniang Miao, and this time they saw the abbot.

The chubby abbot looked kind and benevolent, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes occasionally.

Jin Wan'er only had to look once to conclude that this person was not as simple as her mother-in-law had described.

She got straight to the point and asked directly about that woman.

The abbot smiled and said: "I'm very sorry, I don't know her."

Lady Jian became anxious: "How could you not know her? Last time I was sitting right here and watched you two walk out from inside. You two chatted inside for a long time..."

The abbot interrupted her: "Madam, I have pilgrims here every day. You were also invited here at the time, right? But are you very familiar with me? I don't have your contact information either, do I?"

Lady Jian:...

It seemed correct, that was how it was.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned from the temple empty-handed.

Shi Youxuan and Jin Wan'er met at a hotpot restaurant.

The hotpot base Shi Youxuan ordered was a mandarin duck pot; the clear broth was prepared for Jin Wan'er, but she specifically chose to eat from the very spicy red oil side, and even then, she had to pair it with a very thick spicy sauce.

"Eat less spicy food, it's easy to get internal heat," Shi Youxuan advised.

Jin Wan'er didn't stop, picking up a thinly sliced piece of meat to swish in the red oil pot before putting it into her mouth.

She fanned the heat with her hands: "So spicy, so refreshing!"

"Xuanxuan, do you know? I didn't eat spicy food before, but ever since I got pregnant, I don't know why, I can suddenly eat spicy food and I love it very much. I can't go a meal without it."

Shi Youxuan asked: "Did your mother-in-law say anything?"

Jin Wan'er: "She told me to drink vinegar. I didn't want to, and then her expression didn't look very good. I don't know why either."

"I know."

Shi Youxuan told her: "There is a saying in Jiangzhou: 'sour for a boy, spicy for a girl.' It means that when a woman is pregnant, if she likes to eat sour food, she is carrying a boy, and if she likes to eat spicy food, she is carrying a girl."

Lady Jian was obsessed with hoping for a golden grandson, so if her daughter-in-law only ate spicy food, she would naturally be worried.

"You believe this too?" This was the first time Jin Wan'er had heard such a saying, and she found it novel, though of course she didn't believe it.

Shi Youxuan shook her head: "I don't believe it, and it's not one hundred percent accurate. However, most elderly people are superstitious about such sayings. Anyway, you are three months along now; in another month, you can have an ultrasound, and you'll know if it's a boy or a girl then."

After some small talk, the two moved on to the main topic.

Jin Wan'er recounted what the abbot had said at the temple today to Shi Youxuan.

Not a word was missed, and she even mimicked her tone.

"She is lying."

Shi Youxuan picked up a slice of lotus root from the pot and put it in her mouth, saying vaguely: "That abbot must be lying. I have a premonition that the woman is targeting the two of us, but the timing isn't right yet, so she can't see us."

"Targeting you, perhaps? I have always been in the United States, and coming to Jiangzhou was a spur-of-the-moment decision. It's impossible for me to be in that person's plans."

Shi Youxuan nodded in agreement.

But regardless of who she came for, that woman must have a very close connection to them.

Neither sister said it out loud, but they both understood in their hearts that the person was very likely from their mother's Clan!

Their grandfather and grandmother had always been deeply wary of their mother's Clan and rarely mentioned them.

It wasn't that Shi Youxuan hadn't investigated, but she couldn't find anything at all!

It was as if they were so mysterious that they didn't exist in this world; there wasn't the slightest trace to be found.

Now, a woman who looked exactly like them had suddenly appeared, and according to Lady Jian's description, that woman's clothing and style were not from Jiangzhou.

The two instinctively felt she was from their mother's Clan, but since she had already come, why not meet them? Why even deliberately avoid them?

They couldn't figure it out, so they stopped thinking about it.

The sisters finished their hotpot and went home separately.

An organization called the "Women's Rescue Association" suddenly appeared in Jiangzhou, seemingly springing up from the ground overnight, blossoming everywhere and spreading to every corner of Jiangzhou.

Domestic violence.

Men cheating.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts.

Women having difficulty finding jobs in society.

These major problems plaguing modern women could all be solved at the Women's Rescue Association, and it didn't cost a single cent!

Not only was it free, but if a woman had financial difficulties, the "Women's Rescue Association" would also provide money for relief.

Furthermore, no proof was required, the money was disbursed on the same day, and they were quite generous.

In a short time, the news spread from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to thousands upon thousands.

The name of the "Women's Rescue Association" spread across the country in a very short time, and there was basically no one who didn't know about it.

This organization claims on the surface to protect women's rights, but everyone soon discovered it wasn't that simple!

……

Jin Wan'er had a prenatal checkup today to get an ultrasound.

After coming out of the hospital, the expression on her mother-in-law Lady Jian's face was not very good.

The reason was very simple.

The triplets were all girls.

Although the babies were healthy, it would have been fine if at least one was a boy, but since they were all girls, she was very unhappy.

She was unhappy in her heart, and it was also very obvious on her face.

When walking out of the hospital, she walked in front by herself, not caring at all about her daughter-in-law walking behind her, which was a stark contrast to her attitude when they first arrived at the hospital.

Jin Wan'er wasn't angry; she just found it amusing.

Is there really such a big difference between boys and girls?

Her sister-in-law Jian Yixin is a girl, and hasn't she managed the Jian Family's business very well?

She didn't take her mother-in-law's attitude to heart either.

Being a bit cold is better; there is no need to be too enthusiastic, as she truly couldn't handle it.

Just as she stepped off the stairs, a woman mysteriously leaned in and whispered, "Being disliked by your mother-in-law because you're carrying girls? This is my business card; call this number if you need anything."

A piece of paper was stuffed into her pocket.

Jin Wan'er took it out intending to throw it away, but after catching a glimpse of the three characters "Women's Rescue Association" on it, she thought about it and stuffed it back into her pocket.

In fact, Lady Jian just hadn't thought it through for a moment, and she had figured it out before they even got home.

It isn't like the old days anymore; having boys or girls is fine.

Besides, this is her daughter-in-law's first pregnancy, so if it's girls, then it's girls.

Shi Youxuan's first child was also a girl, and Jin Wan'er is carrying three, so all things considered, she can still get the upper hand over Shi Youxuan.

As long as she is better than Shi Youxuan, she won't feel so uncomfortable.

By the time they arrived home, Lady Jian had returned to the state she was in when they left, even apologizing to her daughter-in-law, explaining things, and telling her not to overthink it and to focus on a healthy pregnancy.

Jin Wan'er sent a WeChat message to Shi Youxuan, asking if she was interested in accompanying her to the Women's Rescue Association?

Shi Youxuan replied in a second: Okay.

……

Women's Rescue Association.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance, they were startled; they hadn't expected that it would be so early, yet there were already so many people inside.
