Fortunately, Third Aunt also brought good news. Having given birth to the fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth sons, she wasn't young anymore, being 38, just two years younger than Mom. Brother Eight is Third Aunt's third son. When he joined the army, he was only twelve; even the eldest, Brother Five, is already twenty this year.
For a long time, she wanted a daughter and thought she'd never have one in this lifetime. But Second Sister-in-law's luck rubbed off on her.
Only after seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who confirmed that the fetus was stable did she share the joyous news with the family. Now, everyone in the family is even more delighted.
Double the joy, how could they not be happy?
Elder Aunt also had four sons, but at 45, she has no hope of bearing any more.
Though she's envious, she's not jealous. With a harmonious family, she sincerely rejoices for her two sister-in-laws and takes even better care of them.
