The Lin family is large and prosperous, with the old man having lived a life of indulgence, marrying several wives in succession, which led to the Lin family's flourishing branches and numerous descendants. Even though his grandmother was the first wife and he is the legitimate eldest grandson, it couldn't prevent the later alluring women from trying to compete with him for the family inheritance.
Although he disdained having children, the wives in the third and fourth branches were desperate to give birth, churning out son after son in recent years.
Lin's mother never pressured her son to marry and have children, always granting him absolute freedom. But now, upon hearing her son mention someone gave birth to a daughter for him, how could Lin's mother not be excited? Isn't this akin to the saying, "Trying to plant flowers with intention fails, yet planting willow trees inadvertently succeeds?"
"Son, quickly bring our precious granddaughter home for me to see."
