Chapter 259 It’s a girl again
That afternoon, Wang Mengbi sat in the main room with a big belly and asked the girl.

"Girl, do you want to eat fish?"

The girl's face was red, and she was holding a lettuce leaf in her dirty hands.

After hearing Wang Mengbi's words, she first looked at the green vegetable leaves in her hand, and then looked at Wang Mengbi timidly.

He nodded slightly, with a little fear and confusion in his eyes.

It’s been so long since I’ve eaten fish that the child seems to have almost forgotten what fish is. He only vaguely remembers that it tastes good and fragrant.

Wang Mengbi stood up with support on her waist and stretched out her hand towards the girl.

"Let's go to the river to catch fish."

Looking at the hand in front of her, the girl took two steps back in fear, but the next second, she was held by Wang Mengbi again.

Wang Mengbi was wearing a black cotton coat, and her belly was wrapped in heavy clothes, making her look even bigger.

But the little girl didn't wear so much, just a short jacket, and her little hands were red from the cold.

It was a long way out and there were many mountain roads. Wang Mengbi was tired from walking and stopped holding the little girl.

"Go faster, you're too slow."

She seemed to have some pain in her back, and frowned as she looked at the girl behind her who was panting and almost unable to keep up.

The girl was still thinking about the fish and didn't notice the disgusted expression on Wang Mengbi's face.

But why don’t we go to the small river ditch next to the village to catch fish, but why do we come so far away?The girl couldn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

Finally we reached the other side of the mountain, in front of a small river ditch.

Wang Mengbi pointed at the river and said.

"Look, there are fish in here, all big fish."

The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'll go down and fish."

As she said this, she wanted to bend down and take off her shoes, but Wang Mengbi held her back again.

"Eh wait."

Wang Mengbi looked around.

"I don't have a frame. I'll find a frame. You can catch fish when I come back. Just stay here and don't move. Don't follow me. Only if you obey me will you get fish!"

The girl nodded heavily with her eyes widened.As long as you obey, you will have fish to eat tonight.

Watching Wang Mengbi's back getting further and further away, until it turned into a small dot.

The little girl got tired of standing, so she sat down and rested her elbows on her knees in a daze.

When she was very hungry, she would hold some water from the river with her little hands that were red from the cold.

When it got dark, Wang Mengbi finally returned to the village. Xia San had been waiting for her at the door for a long time.

"Why are you back at this time? You are so slow to do something."

When he saw Wang Mengbi pushing open the bamboo courtyard door and walking in, Xia San spat on the ground, took a deep puff on his cigarette, and then let out a puff of white air.

Wang Mengbi patted her waist, frowned and said displeased.

"You bitch, you know what to say, I'm going to throw that little hoof away with my big belly, why don't I find a place far away? Otherwise, what if she finds it back on her own?"

Xia San didn't want to hear more from her, so he just waved his hand and told her to go to the kitchen to cook.

Wang Mengbi cursed and beat her waist again and went to the kitchen to cook.

"Is the place you're looking for reliable? Is it true that Xiao Nizi won't come back again?"

Sitting at the dining table, Xia San thought about it but still felt uneasy.

Wang Mengbi took a mouthful of white rice into her mouth.

"Don't worry, I took her to the Xishan Valley. There might be wild wolves there at night, and she won't be able to escape on her own." Stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's just a waste of my money. If I had known it was so easy to conceive a son, I shouldn't have bought that little girl back. What a Taoist priest from Maoshan, Dunima is not a good thing."

Wang Mengbi rolled her eyes at him.

"You don't have a son now, why are you still talking about this? The money is spent, just think it is spent for our son."

The two of them finished their meal, turned off the lights and went to bed, and fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillows as usual.

Afterwards, neither Wang Mengbi nor Xia San went to visit Xishangou. They were two mountains away from the city, and the road to the city was over the next mountain in Xishangou.

But neither of them believed that a little baby could find its way to the city on its own.

I can't guarantee that the girl has entered the belly of a wolf now.

Xia San and Wang Mengbi acted as if there had never been a girl in the family.

Wang Mengbi does housework and cooking at home, and occasionally goes out for a walk.Xia San grew vegetables and grain in the fields every day, leaving early and returning late.

Everything is in order.

Wang Mengbi's taste has not changed and she still likes sour food.

People in the village didn't like their family very much, but they all knew that Wang Mengbi was carrying a boy.

In that information-deprived village, no one doubted.They all use various folk remedies or physical characteristics to determine the gender of the fetus in a pregnant woman's belly.

Although sometimes the gender of the fetus after birth is different from what adults think, no one doubts the law of sour children and hot girls. They only wonder whether this person had a collision when she was pregnant, which made her originally supposed to have sex. It was the son's belly, and inside he turned into a daughter.

That's what those people said after Xia Zhaodi was born.

An hour after the midwife came out of Wang Mengbi's house, the whole village knew that Wang Mengbi had given birth to a daughter.

Xia San angrily flicked all the bowls on the table that were used to honor ancestors to the floor. The baby in the room cried very faintly, but the fire in Xia San's heart became louder and louder with the baby's cry.

"Cry, cry, cry! You damn girl, you only know how to cry when you are born! If I chop you with a knife, maybe I can still have a son!"

Wang Mengbi was so weak at this time that she couldn't move even while lying on the bed.

As Xia San said, he turned back to the kitchen and took out a notched kitchen knife.

"I'll chop you with a knife!"

Wang Mengbi finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a pillow next to her and threw it at Xia San's head.

"You're a murderer, what do you want to do?"

"I let her die!"

Wang Mengbi sat up and held the baby wrapped in navy blue velvet in her arms. Tears could not stop flowing.

"If you kill her, you won't have a son."

Xia San was stunned immediately.

He looked straight at Wang Mengbi, who was weakly holding on to the bed frame by the window.

"I liked eating sour food from the time I was pregnant to the time I gave birth to her. Why did I give birth to a daughter? Have you forgotten what the fortune-telling Taoist priest told us before?"

Wang Mengbi wiped away tears.

"We must have lost the baby girl, so retribution has come. Earlier I saw that the baby girl was uncomfortable, so I threw her away. Now it seems that retribution has come!"

As she spoke, tears fell again.

"If you get rid of this now, where will our son come from?"

Xia San's hand dropped, he turned around and walked out of the room with his head lowered, mumbling continuously.

"Is it really wrong that the boy will come only after the girl leads the way?"

The two of them became more and more convinced that they were punished because they had violated the gods.
