From generation to generation, my family has passed down a set of methods for seeking men, which are claimed to be able to ensure that pregnant women will give birth to boys, and I am the only exception to this method. When my father was dying, he stared into my eyes and suddenly realized that it was not that the method was useless, but that it just failed on me. He could not figure out the reason until his death. This method is not the right way. It is a side-step treatment method devised by our ancestors. Pregnant women are asked to drink a secret decoction to intervene. Ever since my great-great-grandfather, he has saved a lot of money by doing this for others. Although most of the boys born through this method were weak and did not live long, the prevailing culture at that time was that sons were favored over daughters, and they were eager to have a son.
