Ye Mo stood by the door and because he didn't get a response from Liu Duo, he didn't push open the door and go in.

"Beloved, I know you aren't asleep yet right now and that you are only ignoring me. But you can just listen as I speak!"

Liu Duo was a bit surprised by how polite his actions were.

Speak while standing outside?

Ye Mo thought silently for a while before saying, "Beloved, I know ever since you came to our house till now, I've sometimes treated you a bit too aggressively."

Sometimes a bit too aggressive? More like always being very aggressive! Liu Duo responded in her heart.

"That is actually not my intention. I am similar to Yang, Liu, and Ling, in that I am someone who is easy to get along with. I don't know when I started to like you and care about you. That's why I sometimes become aggressive towards you, just hoping to get your attention."

If you are someone who is easy to get along with, then the meaning of the words "easy to get along with" needs to be changed! Get my attention? What kind of logic is this?

"Beloved, I really do want you to have a boy, and I've also said it many times. Maybe I am sexist, but if the firstborn isn't a boy, how could she be the pillar of the household when we grow old? After all, women need to be given away for marriage."

One corner of Liu Duo's mouth moved up when she heard him say this.

What did he mean by women not being able to be the pillar of the household?

Was it compulsory for women to get married?

Such feudalistic ideologies were so detestable!

Ye Mo sighed after he said this. "Sigh… beloved, you know our family's condition. Our parents died when we were young and Yang had to be our pillar. He led us to continue to living strongly. If Yang were a woman, I don't dare to imagine Ling would still be alive, as he is sickly and needs a lot of money."

At that time, most of their family's income depended on Ye Yang's hunting. The money Ye Liu earned wasn't much. After all, he was young back then and he naturally wouldn't have earned much as he didn't have much strength. As for him, he stayed at home to take care of Ling. The food he planted was only just enough for them to eat.

If Yang were a woman, how could he have earned most of his income?

After Liu Duo heard him, she couldn't find words to retort him.

She suddenly felt that what he said didn't seem wrong.

In such a feudalistic society, women were at a disadvantage. It wasn't that they couldn't make money, it was just extremely difficult.

"But now that I think about it, our family's condition isn't the same as when we were young. Our family also doesn't have elders so she wouldn't be treated differently. Even if you had a girl, she also wouldn't need to worry about making money to support the family.

"That's why I know I am wrong. I will never bring up having a boy in the future. Beloved, can you forgive me this last time?"

After Ye Mo said everything in his heart and thought it through, his entire body felt relaxed.

Liu Duo lay on her bed, and after she finished listening to him, she didn't know why, but she didn't feel upset.

Perhaps the reason Ye Yang, Ye Liu, and Ye Ling, the three of them, didn't mind if she had a boy or a girl was purely because they were concerned for her. In any case, they would still share the same blood. However, because Ye Mo went to school before, he would think more deeply. He didn't want her daughter to face too many hardships and that was why he always wanted a boy.

This was the first time she realized the violent and short-tempered Ye Mo was actually so considerate...?

The light rain continued to drizzle and the tall and straight Ye Mo just kept standing by the door, not leaving.
