Eye of Sin

Zhang's mother was silent for a while, as if she was hesitant. It is estimated that she may not have explained many things to Zhang Guanghui in such detail. She has been bored in her heart for so many years, and has never planned to tell others.

Now being questioned in front of her daughter, the person who asked the question was still the policeman, and it was not right to ask her to speak up, nor was it not to not speak up.

"Mom, just say what you have. Anyway, in the final analysis, it's all the immoral things done by Deng Qingrong alone. If she dares to do it herself, there is nothing you dare not say."

Zhang Guanghui understood his mother's hesitation, and gently put his arms around his mother's shoulder: "I already knew from you and my dad that I was not your biological child when I was young, and that didn't affect the relationship between the three of us, let alone me. character!
You don't have to worry that I will feel uncomfortable after hearing this! "

Zhang's mother thought about it, and probably felt that what her daughter said made sense, so she said to Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan: "We were from the same town as Deng Qingrong back then, and we both lived in the same village, but the two families don't know each other very well. , usually no contact.

Both of us are not in good health, and we have no children for many years after we got married. When we went to the hospital for an examination, they said that there was no hope for us to have children on our own.

At that time, it was not like now, where there was no other way to have a child through test tubes, and one had to accept one's fate.

Later, I heard from a villager that there was something wrong with the couple Chang Rong and Deng Qingrong in our village. "

"What's wrong?" Zhang Guanghui asked her mother with some doubts.

Zhang's mother said: "Deng Qingrong was pregnant with a big belly. I heard that many old ladies in the village helped her look at it. They all said that the shape of the belly was a boy, which made her very happy.

Later, I gave birth in the next day, it was 33 or four years ago. At that time, some women in the village gave birth, and they were unwilling to go to the village health center. The midwife who delivered the child gave birth to the first child in her own home.

Later I heard that Deng Qingrong gave birth to a daughter, and after a while, the confinement should be over, and I didn't see their family carrying the child out, so someone was easy to inquire, and ran to ask, did their child go? On account.

As a result, Chang Rong told others that without a registered permanent residence, the child was born with a problem and died within a few days.

There is something taboo in their family. When a child so young dies, he can't make a public announcement, and he can't hold a funeral, so he is quietly taken away and buried. "

"Is that me?" Zhang Guanghui was a little puzzled. She knew that she was Deng Qingrong's daughter, but when her adoptive mother talked about it, she felt a little confused.

Zhang's mother shook her head: "That's not you, if you talk about it, it should be your eldest sister!
Anyway, the child was said to be unsupported, dead, and buried.

What should Deng Qingrong do after confinement, just like a normal person, but some people in the village also spread some rumors in private.

They said there was nothing wrong with the first child at all, and that he didn't really die shortly after birth.

It is said that Deng Qingrong and Chang Rong wanted to have a son wholeheartedly, but it was not because the policy was stricter in those days, and it was more stuck. It cannot be said that you gave birth to one and then another.

The two of them were afraid that if they gave birth to a daughter, they would occupy the quota after registering their household registration, and they would not be allowed to have another child after that.

So the daughter who was born before was probably given away secretly, or was thrown away quietly.

Because no one knows how they did it, they can only guess everything. "

Zhang's mother's words were very consistent with Ning Shuyi's previous guess, so Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan were not particularly surprised when they heard it.

On the contrary, Zhang Guanghui's face became even more ugly when he heard it, probably because he couldn't help but make some associations with himself.

Mother Zhang took her daughter's hand, held it in her own, and sighed: "After we heard about this, we didn't take it too seriously at first, but felt that sometimes God is not fair. , we don't care if it's a boy or a girl, as long as we can have one.

As a result, none of us were born!

When Deng Qingrong's family was able to give birth to a healthy child, they still hated things because they were girls.

Later, less than a year later, I heard people say that Deng Qingrong seemed to be pregnant again, but this time she was different from before, she was not so ostentatious, walking around with her belly upright, it was like a thief , East hiding XZ's.

At that time, my wife and I murmured, wondering if Deng Qingrong would be like last time again, afraid of having another daughter, that's why she kept it so quietly, as if pregnancy was shameful.

It is estimated that she is thinking that if it is another girl this time, she can do it again like before, then the fewer people who need to know, the better, otherwise two children will die in a row, who will replace it? Can afford to be suspicious. "

"This child is me, right?" Zhang Guanghui asked her adoptive mother with a complicated expression.

Mother Zhang nodded: "Yes, this time it's you! The more your dad and I think about it, the more we think it's what we guessed.

So the two of us have been keeping an eye on them both secretly, thinking that in case another girl is born, if they want to give people and want to throw it away, we will!
Later, when it was almost time to give birth, your father went directly to find Chang Rong and told us what we both thought. Chang Rong probably saw that his wife was about to give birth. If it was a girl again, they really needed a place. Handle the born child..."

She paused and held her daughter's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that her daughter would be hurt because of this fact: "Later, on the day when Deng Qingrong gave birth, she didn't dare to give birth at home, so she ran to their house to be in other places. The home of distant relatives in the village.

My wife and I followed, and when she gave birth, it turned out to be a girl again, so I took her home directly.

Deng Qingrong and the others came home after a few days. They didn't admit that they were pregnant and gave birth to their second child. Anyway, they didn't admit it.

In order to prove that she didn't sneak out to give birth, Deng Qingrong went out to do farm work for everyone to see. In fact, people didn't believe her in private, and they said that she should not turn around and ruin her body after such a toss.

After all, having a child is a matter of physical injury, and their family is willing to let go just to have a son.

But that has nothing to do with us, and we didn't talk too much. "

"How did you think about leaving your hometown and developing elsewhere?" Ning Shuyi asked.

"It's mainly for the child." Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Guanghui, "We told people that the child came from elsewhere, but they were very kind, and didn't ask whether Deng Qingrong secretly gave birth to us.

After all, it was really a coincidence that this time was placed there.

But people in the village also reminded me that such things have happened before. Recognize the child and take care of yourself.

When we thought about it, Deng Qingrong's family was not a reliable and safe person. In order to prevent them from going back on their word in the future, we really had to leave. "
