Chapter 103. Determine to get a daughter
Last year the family watched "Large Chaos in the Sky", and this year they also watched a cartoon called "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mommy".
Both of these movies were attention-grabbing, even Lin Qing He was interested in watching, let alone the boys.
Zhou Qing Bai had no expression. Lin Qing He occasionally glanced at him. He felt it, then glanced back at her. His expression was bland.
Lin Qing He knew that this guy was holding a grudge against her.
"Whatever the matter, we can talk about it at home. For now, watch the movie and don't be angry." What else can Lin Qing He do? She can only hold his hand and whispered.
Zhou Qing Bai shot her an indifference glance before continuing to watch the movie.
After the movie, the gaze Da Wa had toward Lin Qing He had a little bit of watery.
Needless to say, Er Wa and San Wa. San Wa simply expressed it by wanting his mother to hug him, while Er Wa wanted his Mother's hand.
They didn’t want to be like the little tadpoles, who couldn't find their own mothers. It was so pitiful to search for so long.
Lin Qing He: "..." What was going on with each and every one of them?
In the end, San Wa was held by Zhou Qing Bai, while Lin Qing He held onto Da Wa's and Er Wa's hands. Together, they headed over to the restaurant. They bought apples again and then went home.
"Da Wa go to write a page of your afterthought." After arriving home, Lin Qing He sent Da Wa off with this.
"What afterthought?" Da Wa froze for a moment.
"It's your feelings and thoughts after watching today's movie." Lin Qing He clarified.
Actually, Da Wa did have quite a lot to express, so off he went. Er Wa piped up: "Mother, I also have afterthoughts."
"You still don't recognize many words, just use do it verbally." Lin Qing He nodded.
Er Wa voiced out his opinion: "When the little tadpoles were young, they didn't know what their mother looked like, so they misunderstood that the goldfish, crab, tortoise, and catfish were their own mothers. They looked different from their mothers. When they grew up, they became like their mothers, and they know who their mother was then."
"Wonderful." Lin Qing He affirmed.
Er Wa continued: "But we are different from frogs. They all look the same. We grow differently, so Mother, you can't abandon us, otherwise, you won't recognize us as your son once we grow up."
Taken aback, Lin Qing He looked at him: "When did I say I'll abandon you?"
"Mother never did. I was just saying." Er Wa said.
I'm afraid you weren't just mentioning it, more like hammering it into me.
Lin Qing He gave an unamused smile: "Zhou Er Wa, do you miss getting a beating?"
"Hee hee, I really like you." Er Wa hugged her legs as he spoke.
"Go and stay in your room." Lin Qing He didn't fall for it and sent him away.
Er Wa giggled back into his room. Lin Qing He came to the backyard. Zhou Qing Bai was taking care of the pigs in the backyard.
"Cough, Qing Bai, I will give you a hand." Lin Qing He dryly coughed and said.
Zhou Qing Bai just swept an indifferent glance at her and then continued to work on his own. Lin Qing He said in a hushed voice: "I say, that should be about it. If you keep giving me that attitude, I won't wait upon you."
Zhou Qing Bai still ignored her and continued to work away.
Lin Qing He harrumphed and turned back around. This obstinate ox really want to go head-on against her, let's see how long he can keep it up.
Zhou Qing Bai helplessly watched her back.
After going to bed at night, Lin Qing He ignored him, but that didn't stop Zhou Qing Bai at all. The two of them battled under the quilt hard and made a lot of movements.
"Father, Mother, what are you doing." Da Wa said in confusion.
Lin Qing He was startled, while Zhou Qing Bai ordered, "Continue to sleep."
Da Wa said: "Then you must be good, don't quarrel." After that, he went to bed.
Then Lin Qing He was taken advantage of by Zhou Qing Bai. Lin Qing He couldn't help but call out. Zhou Qing Bai laughed and Lin Qing He hit him: "Get off me."
Zhou Qing Bai turned deaf to words. At this moment, he just worked and did not speak.
Lin Qinghe didn't have time to care about other things anymore. When she got blown away, Zhou Qing Bai interrogated her: "You don't want to have a daughter?"
Lin Qing He really wanted to hit someone. Every time he pushed her up to the skies, he challenged her: "Zhou Qing Bai, are you still a man?"
Zhou Qing Bai chuckled, then gave her a wild storm.
Lin Qing He endured a lot when she received the rain against banana. She couldn't even utter a sound.
Everything calmed down, and Zhou Qingbai asked as his arms wrapped around her: "It'll be great to have a daughter."
Lin Qing He gasped for a while and then ordered him: "Quickly get off."
"It's good to block it in." Zhou Qing Bai said.
Lin Qing He blushed. Zhou Qing Bai kept hugging her: "Sleep."
I want to sleep, but how can I sleep with you like this!
"Everyone else wants a son. Why do you want a daughter? I saw my Third Sister-in-law (Lin)'s eyes lit up when she saw Da Wa and his brothers." Lin Qing He said.
When Third Sister-in-law Lin saw the boys on New Year's Day, her eyes were burning hot. Third Sister-in-law Lin had two daughters in a row.
The first one was all right. But when the second one was a daughter, she couldn't even have proper post-natal confinement.
Despite Father Lin and Mother Lin being ignorant, Third Sister-in-law Lin also wanted a son.
"Sons are alright, daughters are even better. A daughter like you, I will treasure her." Zhou Qing Bai kissed her and declared.
"It was said that the daughter is the lover from the last life. So you want the lover from the last life over me?" Lin Qing He questioned.
"Daughter is a daughter. You are you. Not the same." Zhou Qing Bai laughed before responding.
"If I am pregnant, then you cannot touch me for so long. Do you think you can bear it?" Lin Qing He sacrificed this killer move again.
As anticipated, Zhou Qing Bai hesitated for a while. But it was just a moment: "I should be able to bear it for a year. Before I came back, that was how it was."
"You slept on your own before you came back. Now you're home, you sleep with me every night. Do you think you can restrain yourself?" Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow.
"I want a daughter." Zhou Qing Bai moved a little and stated with slight evasiveness.
This stubborn guy. Lin Qing He didn't know that he had this side of him. Lin Qing He pulled his face and said, "I want to see how thick your skin is."
"Wife, birth me one." Zhou Qing Bai pecked her and persisted.
Lin Qing He looked at him and turned her face: "Didn't I birth you three?"
Zhou Qing Bai knew that. But when she gave birth to the boys before, he didn't get to watch any of it. Mother Zhou watched the whole journey.
He would like to have another one with her. As long as it was one, it was enough.
"It's painful to give birth to a child. You stinky man, just care about himself. Do you know how much pain I was in?" Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Qing Bai sighed helplessly. Then he remained unmoving on her body. As he said, he'll block it in.
Lin Qing He uttered: "Don't you know how heavy you are. Do you want to crush me to death?"
Zhou Qing Bai half supported himself up but showed his determination for a daughter with his actions.

Zhou Qing Bai always pisses me off with his actions in bed. He's being a selfish bastard putting his wants, not needs cause he ain't gonna die if he don't get some, above his wife's wants. He only talks about it after doing the deed and blocking it in to increase the chances for a daughter his wife doesn't want. If she does get pregnant and gives birth to another son, is he gonna pull this shit again?
ReplyDeletehonestly she already said that she didn't want more kids but hes being a ass, shes the one that have to suffer. i get it its another time period but come on daughters arent cherished (English is not my first language)
DeleteHonestly. He isn't the one fucking giving birth to the damn child. She's already given birth Three whole times... A four one??? And she already has to look after the current three because they aren't grown, imagine her having to deal with herself, them, the new baby and her husband. He's so selfish istg she has to suffer just because he wants a daughter to look at????
DeleteHere we go again with the usual Chinese webnovel problem of overbearing male love interest that is seen as acceptable because of time period. Hope it doesn't go the usual route of female MC submitting to abusive male love interest 'for love'
ReplyDeleteHonestly I am confused with the author. Does the FL really not want another daughter?! I mean it is mentioned but her actions seem ambiguous to me because of her character. So far FL is headstrong and not a push over ( remember how long it took before she agreed to sexual relations with ML). She has consistently shown that you can't make her do what she doesn't want to. So I don't think it makes sense with her character to keep letting the ML pressure her to have a child if she is really against it. This whole baby drama I feel is a deviation from her character.
ReplyDeleteThey need to have a serious conversation about this wanting or not wanting of a baby.
agreed
DeleteI feel she doesn't wanna hurt him... She is headstrong but gentle too...
DeleteHmm... maybe she's fine with intimacy but just not mentally prepared to go through childbirth during this era. It's gonna very pain without modern world's technology and improvements. I would be scared too.
DeleteTo me, she's fine with kids from the way she handle all the kids that appeared now and in the near future.
Urgh I genuinely hate this. It makes me so uncomfortable. Sex without consent is rape. Also one doesn't have kids by themselves... He's not the one going to have physical and emotional changes for 9 months and go through life and death wtf. AND I always feel like all these chinese authors never had sex... Like having sex forever is not pleasurable and being with a partner who doesn't have the same sex drive is the worst... anyways this makes me very uncomfortable I hope this little subplot goes by faster
ReplyDeleteagreed.
Deletelove that someone said the second part! totally with you there
This is really uncomfortable to read. I actually hope they don't have any more kids just because of the way he's acting. It feels like the author wants me to like him, but I don't because he's super pushy. Why would they have another kid when only one parent wants one? I really hope she gets her way.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for ZQB because he wants a daughter but things like this should be discussed. In the time period that they're in, I gave ZQB more leeway but it still feels uncomfortable because he's actively pushing for it.
ReplyDeleteIt's also a very odd situation because the way the author wrote how LQH is responding. She's not really pushing for the refusal and even seems to be like 'whatever' in the moments where ZQB is being actively pursuing it and she had been 'trying' to voice a refusal. I wish the author had written LQH to not be so passive about it or show some sort of development with their relationship in these kinds of situation. Especially since they're trying to put ZQB in a good light
My impression is that the MC has understandable fears about having a child since it would be her first time from her point of view. But at the same time, she's becoming resigned for it to happen anyways, because at that time period, there's no concept of limiting conception or the modern kind of family planning. This conflict between her fears and expectations makes her verbally snap back whenever the topic is brought up, but then later backtracks.
ReplyDeleteThis is mean to say but I would have LOVED to see her die during childbirth and his reaction... Things like this happen and here he is pushing her into giving birth to a child because he's bored and wants to look at a god damn daughter...
ReplyDeleteIm so upset rn. He deserves to suffer.
All right, all right a lot of people here are being too dramatic, she wants sex but not to have a kid this isnt rape or anything like that, god people are so retarded.
ReplyDeleteI do agree male lead is being too much, but the mc should tell him off better in that case it's clear she likes the D though, and the dude is putting a lot of effort into keeping her happy.
Totally agree with you people here are being abit too dramatic about all this. The dude is being selfish yeah but i feel like the dad knows that she is different like she sends off a different vibe. He wants a daughter yes but i think that it's more than that as he wants a child coming from "HER". plus this time he wants to be there for her. Having a child will solidify their relationship, I'm sure the dad feels so too.
DeleteActually, both of them are in the wrong for all of that. Him, of course for just being selfish, in bed and pregnancy matters.Of course she's not refusing in bed, however what happens in this chapter is just wtf. Hey, it's 3 kids already.
ReplyDeleteAnd her, we didn't see a line about telling her identity. I don't mean everything, but at least she's not completly the same person as back then. Because her not wanting a child, is it only because " it's annoying to be pregnant " ? Or because it will be " her " child with him, contrary to the 3 little guys. Can say " what does it matter, ignorance can bring happiness too ", yes we can. However it's not living togheter for 6months, it's a lifetime, and children
Actually, he'a forceful, yes, but if you consider the time period and how the people in that era thinks the strange one is Ms. Lin.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not chinese but I heard that during my grandparents' time having more kids is just normal. If you notice, Mr. Zhou doesn't even know what a condom is. I think if you consider it, he's already gave her a lot of advantages since, I believe, in that time women are expected to be more servile to men
But also she's just saying "whatever" because she thinks she won't get pregnant because of the "plotline".
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about the frustrations of the other commenters lol. ML is from another era where he literally grew up with a different mindset than modern people. Cut him some slack people.
ReplyDeleteexactly they're overreacting. this story is literally set on the 70s lol
DeleteAtleast you have a high pragmatism lol, I just can't with the readers, research what was the mindset in 60s and it should be in the Chinese setting. I just can't with the comments 🤭 besides with the bed play, are all of the readers virgins here? What's with the reaction haha
DeleteЯ в шоке от пословицы: "дочь - любовник из другой жизни". Как же плохо тогда относились к женщинам, это просто мрак и ужас.
ReplyDeleteEven now in most countries people have 2-3 kids. This is 70s, of course people will want more kids. The male lead wanting to have a kid is very logical. It's the female lead who keeps forgetting in which time frame she is in. Also the male lead already treat her better than every men in the village.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLYYYYY! the time frame! People should cut the ml some slack and try to understand where he comes from. He already is doing his very best for her. The FL is really lucky to have such a good husband! There's no one like him in the village as his behavior is so unlike any guy in this era. The FL basically hit the jackpot she should be grateful (thank God she is).
Deleteİ do understand that she is scared of the whole pregnancy thing as SHE has never had been pregnant before. But why are y'all having such a negative reaction when those two are having sex. Lol i really don't understand how what the ml is doing is qualified as rape. Come on y'all 😂 the FL always seems to show that she is reluctant to have the D but it's obvious that she wants it too. Women tend to be hypocritical sometimes, the FL just has too much pride and doesn't want to proactively show that she wants to be banged. She herself admits that she is very happy with her sex life so calm your horses y'all and cut the ml some slack. He can't be perfect okay and already this male lead tries his best to make her happy.
ReplyDeleteLots of harpy women with no children commenting here lol.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! What rape are you talking about?! What forced are you talking about?! Helloooo.... The ML only wants to have another child especially a daughter. On that era/time, it's normal to have lots of children because they're a blessing/treasure/gifts etc. It also depends on what part of asia are you in. So, it depends on what belief, culture, situation etc. So I understand the ML but I can't understand the FL. FL should sit down with the ML and talk/discuss properly her concern regarding the issue. Anyway, thanks for the chapter
