Is son preference really so serious?

I was born in the 1970s. When I was a child, I only knew that my parents had many younger brothers and sisters. This is normal.

In our generation, there are three brothers and sisters in my family. My younger brother is young. Not only his parents love him, but also our two sisters protect him, because we are sisters. At that time, the family planning policy had been implemented. In order to have a son, my uncle's family actually gave birth to seven daughters and a son. Every time the team goes to his house, my uncle will lose his temper and my aunt will be "crazy". The names of the two sisters are Huaya and Ling, except for a few older ones. The rest are "big brother", "big brother" and "fork". He didn't stop until the eighth gave birth to a son. There is also a second aunt who knows that super-life will be punished or secretly goes to other places to give birth to a son. Parents are more open-minded and provide education for younger brothers and sisters. My sister went to college, I went to normal school, and so did my brother.

I didn't study as well as we did. I studied home appliance repair. At that time, I thought it was in the countryside, and physical labor was heavy. I can't do it without boys.

After I got married, I really realized that this is a concept of "son preference". I have a brother-in-law I am a teacher and my husband is a soldier. We responded to the call of the country and only gave birth to one child. I'm not with my in-laws. They said nothing.

When the brother-in-law has children, the first child is a girl. After the child was four years old, they began a long way to find a child. Calculate divination, burn incense for Guanyin, and do everything possible to do B-ultrasound. Knocked a few girls out. At the age of nearly 40, a boy was ushered in. But my sister-in-law's health left many problems.
