Superpower Small Farmer

Chapter 1997 - 1956: Wang Potian Leads the Charge

"Yes!!" the descendants replied in unison, and then they dispersed. Wang Xiaobao stepped forward and said, "Dad, I've already had people prepare the food and drink for you. Shall we start the meal now?"

Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Have you all eaten?"

"We've all eaten, so we won't disturb you."

"Alright, I'll eat alone. Oh, True Person of Taiyi is a guest, have him join, and also invite your grandparents, along with your uncle. They probably have things to say..."

"Yes." Wang Xiaobao responded and went to make arrangements.

In no time, Wang Kuishan and his wife, Wang Dali, Wang Xiaoqiang, and True Person of Taiyi sat in the spacious dining room, feasting on a table laden with exquisite dishes and fine wine.

Seeing no outsiders were present, Wang Kuishan pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Kid, you're quite the spectacle today. Look at all your wives. In the old days, you could've been an Emperor with this many."

There was a hint of reproach in his words. His mother just shook her head with a teasing smile, knowing nothing could change now, she kept silent.

True Person of Taiyi felt awkward at the scene, thinking there might be no one else on Earth who dared to scold Wang Xiaoqiang like this but these two elders. As for himself, once Wang Xiaoqiang's master, he wouldn't dare do so now.

Wang Dali smoothed things over, chuckling, "Hehe, all men are like this, Dad, Mom, since things have already happened, don't blame Qiangzi. It's likely he didn't have much choice. But, you know, everything has two sides. Although Xiaoqiang brought you back so many daughters-in-law, they're not freeloaders, right? They gave you so many grandchildren. I only have one wife and gave you just one grandson; frankly, I'm embarrassed..."

This remark softened Wang Kuishan and his wife's expressions. They loved their children and grandchildren, hoping for a large family. Wang Xiaoqiang's actions actually catered to their desires, so they refrained from more scolding.

"Besides, times have changed. It used to be the one-child policy. Back then, having so many wives wasn't an issue, but having so many sons certainly was. Probably, the fines would've been severe. But now it's different; after Earth's monster disaster, half the humans are gone. Forget about the national population; even the global population has drastically shrunk. Now worldwide, having more children is being encouraged. Xiaoqiang's actions really contribute to the country's well-being, haha..."

"Che, look at you, turning a bad thing into a good one," Wang Kuishan glanced at his eldest son, then said, "Let your wife give you a daughter..."

The mother's eyes lit up at the mention of a daughter. The old couple's wish now was for a granddaughter. Though Wang Xiaoqiang had many children, and two grandsons, no girls were among them—all boys. Wang Dali had only one son, unmarried. Thus, despite the Wang family's numerous grandchildren, none were girls, a bit imbalanced in gender.

They couldn't help but yearn for a granddaughter or great-granddaughter.

Wang Dali pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Let Qiangzi's wives give a try. With so many beautiful wives, the granddaughter would be surely lovely... Hahaha..."

It's not that Wang Xiaoqiang didn't like daughters, but fate seemed to mock him, leaving him without one. Perhaps it was karma for his unfaithfulness. Despite many wives, only sons were born.

At that moment, the Two Elders of the Wang Family looked expectantly at the younger son, "Xiaoqiang, if you agree, we might soon have a granddaughter..."

"That's quite uncertain." Wang Xiaoqiang shrugged, "How about this? I'll tell Xiaobao or Pengcheng to try hard and give you a great-granddaughter. Anyway, they're all descendants of the Wang Family, the same big family, granddaughter or great-granddaughter, what's the difference..."

Granddaughter or great-granddaughter, there's indeed a difference, but the old couple was not picky at this point, nodding, "That works too. Our only wish before we close our eyes is to see a girl in the Wang family, "

"Dad, Mom, don't talk about closing your eyes. I promise, you can live another hundred years..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Che, impossible, we're already in our late seventies and eighties, contented with reaching this age. How can we dare wish for a hundred more years, it'd be inhuman!" The old couple waved their hands, smiling.

Wang Xiaoqiang turned to True Person of Taiyi, "Taiyi, do you think my parents can live another hundred years...?"

True Person of Taiyi seriously and solemnly told Wang Kuishan and his wife, "I can't guarantee it, but Xiaoqiang can. With him around, you are guaranteed another hundred, even a thousand years..."

"What? A thousand? We'd be old monsters." The old couple shook their heads, though their hearts trusted their son.

"Come on, stop talking and eat..." Wang Dali urged, "Xiaoqiang, Master Taiyi, you've not eaten yet, have more."

Wang Xiaoqiang scanned the table full of dishes, all exquisite delicacies, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Does such a meal still exist on Earth now??"

Wang Kuishan and his wife said, "This is too extravagant. There's no need to eat so well in the future."

True Person of Taiyi shook his head, "Not to hide it from you, Xiaoqiang, since the monster disaster, people's living standards have plummeted. Forget about delicacies, having enough to eat is lucky. But the elders' meals have been kept at this standard..."

"No need for this, Master Taiyi, our life was destined to be humble, simple meals are fine. Why waste so much? Besides, the country isn't wealthy now."
