take a wife to support the family

Chapter 245 The most poisonous is the human heart
Xiucai's mother urged her to ask if it was a man or a woman, and after seeing it, Wen Po took a breath, forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, old sister, you are a girl, and you will definitely bring a bunch of brothers with you in the future. "

Xiucai Niang let go of her hand abruptly, almost out of breath: she thought that this was her grandson in Song Xiuxiu's stomach, and that's why she asked Song Xiuxiu to ride on her head to do her best. If she had known that she was a loser, she shouldn't have been asked to give birth !
Mrs. Wen collected money to do business, and now she gave the baby two mouthfuls of warm water, put her on the bed, cleaned up for Song Xiuxiu, and used loess paste on the wound to stop the bleeding.

Seeing that her face was like gold paper and her breathing was weak, Xiucai's mother asked in a low voice, "Old sister, do you think my daughter-in-law can live?"

Wen Po said: "It depends on luck."

After giving birth to a seven-pound, five-two-pound doll, it was still difficult to give birth. It is a fate for the child to be alive at this time. Whether he can live in the next few days depends on whether God is open or not.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the rooster was crowing outside, and Xiucai's mother hurriedly withdrew money to send Wen Po away.The scholar's father was sitting on the steps smoking a pipe, and his daughter-in-law was making such a fuss that he couldn't fall asleep. When he saw the old woman coming out, he quickly stood up and asked, "Boy or girl?"

The scholar's wife said listlessly: "Girl, lose money!"

Xiucai's father was startled, he almost couldn't hold the pot in his hand, and changed his expression, "Why is it a woman?" Obviously everyone said before that Song Xiuxiu was pregnant with a boy!
Xiucai's mother cursed a dirty word, went to her bedroom to open the box, took out dozens of money and gave it to Mrs. Wen, and said, "Trouble old sister, please go slowly."

Wenpo knew that families who gave birth to daughters were usually so indifferent. If they gave birth to sons, she would get more rewards, and the masters would often keep her and treat her to something to eat before leaving.She was not happy when she gave birth to a daughter, so she didn't leave Zhaoren's attention. She looked at Song Xiuxiu who had passed out, sighed, and went home with the money.

Over there, the scholar lady didn't care about Song Xiuxiu, and told her to fend for herself, and it would be best to die.Song Xiuxiu gave birth to money-losing goods, she didn't know what to do for a while, so she put them in front of Song Xiuxiu, and waited for her son to come back tomorrow before dealing with them.

The room is full of filth and blood. After all, Xiucai's mother is not young. After a day and a night of tossing, her bones are already broken. She doesn't care about her daughter-in-law and newborn daughter. She yawns, turns around and goes to sleep.

The newly born baby lacked physical strength after all, and had no strength to cry for a while, so he fell asleep in front of her mother, unaware that he was not far from death.

But she said that little Xiucai spent the night at relatives' house, and when she came home early the next morning, she didn't hear Song Xiuxiu's screams, nor did she hear the baby's distress, and there was no bow and arrow handkerchief hanging on the door. When he died, his heart was overjoyed, but his face was sad, he approached the door heavily, and asked his mother: "Mother, my wife..."

The lady of the scholar all fell asleep for less than an hour before getting up to do the housework again, and she said out of anger, "I gave birth to a loser, and I'm laying a dead body in the house!"

The little scholar was already ready to cry, crying for his poor wife and the child who didn't make it to the world, when he suddenly heard that he was born alive, he stuttered and asked in disbelief, "Why are you still alive?" ?”

"The fate of the mourning star is hard, but he didn't die." Xiucai Niang said, "I was waiting for you to come back and ask you. Your prodigal mother-in-law is not going to survive. Regardless of her, she can't live for a few days. But this little one What should I do?"

Human life in the countryside is not worth much. How many baby girls did Xiucai's mother see when she was young and drowned in the toilet?Either thrown in a latrine or thrown into the Baishui River, the newborn baby girl's bones are tender, and the bones will melt away in two days, and they can't be found.

That is to say, life has been easier these years, and the imperial court does not allow the killing of female infants, and raises daughters to barely support them, so there are more daughters in the town. Otherwise, it is very rare for a generation like Xiucai's father to marry a daughter-in-law Well, there are many people who stay single all their lives, and when they die, they are buried with a seat in the family, and there is no one who goes to the grave.

Rao is that the number of female infanticides has decreased, but it is not impossible. What Xiucai Niang means is that Liu Rulong's own daughter is after all. They can spin and weave, and they can cook with fire. If they are older, they can marry into other people's homes in exchange for dowry gifts.

If you think it's bad luck and don't want to feed yourself, you just drown in the toilet and pour it into the Baishui River, just say that Song Xiuxiu gave birth to a dead baby, and Song Xiuxiu will die in two days. Annoy the in-laws.

The little scholar originally had a good idea: his mother will do everything well, and he will just prepare to marry Ms. Huang when he returns home, and he doesn't have to touch any dirty things.

Unexpectedly, Xiucai Niang was useless, she said so well, but in the end she didn't dare to do it, so that the stupid woman would give birth to a daughter in peace.The little scholar couldn't help but sighed deeply: "What else can you do, old man?"

At this time, Xiucai's father also got up, saw the old woman and his son discussing things furtively, stopped and listened for a while, although he didn't know the reason, he knew what they wanted to do.

Scholar's father frowned and said: "It's our family's flesh and blood, even if we change the bride price in the future, we can get a lot of it."

Xiucai's mother hurried to catch up and told him about the little Xiucai and Miss Huang. Xiucai's father couldn't help but smile, and immediately decided: "In my opinion, your daughter-in-law's fate is not very good, and this child may not live long. , don't be too caring, lest she is too young to bear such a blessing, and she will not be able to join a good family in the next life."

Once he made a decision, Xiucai's mother knew what to do, and immediately went to drown a child who had been on the ground for less than half a day.

Only then did the scholar's mother pick up the little girl, and it so happened that Song Xiuxiu woke up from a coma at this time, and asked weakly: "Mom, is my baby a boy or a girl?"

Xiucai's wife was feeling guilty, when she heard Song Xiuxiu's question, her heart trembled, she thought for a while and then whispered: "It's a girl who dies after birth, don't be sad, there will be children in the future."

Song Xiuxiu was dazed, her whole body ached, and she was very disappointed that she didn't give birth to a lively and fat boy, so she almost believed her nonsense.

Suddenly, the baby girl in Xiucai's mother's hands seemed to sense the danger in the dark, and burst into tears. She was well nourished in the womb, and she grew up already, and her voice was even louder when she cried. Song Xiuxiu woke up suddenly: "My baby! Still alive! Before I passed out, I clearly heard crying!"

Xiucai's mother was holding the baby girl and was about to go out, she covered the baby's mouth with one hand, and said, "You are too sad, you may have misheard."

Song Xiuxiu's eyes were dizzy, her eyes couldn't be opened wide, suddenly she didn't know where the strength came from, but she struggled to get up, jumped off the bed, and grabbed Xiucai's mother tightly: "Mother, tell me to see my child!"

All the flesh she raised during the ten months of her pregnancy seemed to disappear overnight. Her face was haggard, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her body was covered in blood, not like a living person, but like a female ghost crawling back from hell.

Xiucai's mother already had ghosts in her heart, and when she saw Song Xiuxiu's ferocious face, she immediately felt guilty, and hurriedly stuffed the baby into her hand and said, "Here! You can see it if you want!"

Stride out to discuss countermeasures with her old man and son: "The person who was about to die suddenly came back to life, what a loser!"

Song Xiuxiu clings to the baby she gave birth with all her might, hating her for being a girl and not being able to improve her status in her husband's family.

But after all, she was born in October of her pregnancy, and she was her own daughter.

Sitting on the ground with the child in her arms, she recalled that before she woke up, she vaguely heard what Xiucai's mother said to Xiucai's father, and some thoughts that she had never thought of clearly appeared in her mind: her daughter was clearly alive and kicking, but her mother-in-law said she was born Just die, for what?

Ever since she married into the Liu family, she has told herself every day that marrying Xiaoxiu is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, she must cherish the blessings and know how to be grateful.

In the past, Xiucai's mother would not allow her to eat, but she said to herself that it was because Xiaoxiucai liked slender women, and a daughter-in-law had to eat less to save food for her husband's family.

When she got pregnant later, the treatment was different immediately, she completely forgot the bitter days of starvation, and only thought about the future Fengguan Xiapei in her heart.

At this time, thinking about it one by one, Feng Guanxia couldn't earn a piece of clothing, but the shroud was probably able to earn a piece of clothing soon.

How could she have married into a good family, this Liu family is clearly a den of wolves!Liu Rulong and his parents are clearly cannibalistic jackals!

The little doll in her hand cried a few times, but she had no strength, and moaned and searched for food on Song Xiuxiu's chest. Song Xiuxiu's eyes were dazzled, and she quickly untied her skirt and fed it to her mouth.

But she gave birth to her first child, and her colostrum came late. She was seriously injured when she gave birth last night, and no one took care of her. She didn't even have a sip of water. How can she secrete milk?
The little baby sucked for a while, but didn't get any milk, and became weaker and weaker.

Song Xiuxiu originally wanted to give birth to a son, but she held a daughter weighing more than seven catties in her arms. She didn't know where the infinite love came from, and she would never allow anyone to hurt her.This family is full of wolves, and she wants to hug her daughter and live in the wolf's den!
Song Xiuxiu got up from the ground, she had no strength in her body, she couldn't help slipping down, and barely stopped.He didn't dare to let go of the child, for fear that if he didn't see him by mistake, the child would be snatched and drowned by Mrs. Xiucai.

She walked out of the house with the child in her arms, panting for a long time after every step, and the warm blood from her lower body kept gushing out. When Xiucai's mother walked over, she didn't know whether to grab the child or give her a hand. Song Xiuxiu looked at her viciously and said, "You If you dare to come here, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

She was no different from a female ghost, with a ferocious appearance. She really frightened the family. She carried the child to the door, hung a piece of cloth on the door, and fell down along the door.

Coincidentally, yesterday when she gave birth to a baby, she screamed loudly, and someone had already heard it, and now she saw the Liu family hanging up the veil, knowing that she gave birth to a daughter, someone had already come to congratulate her.

Xiucai's father made a decisive decision, immediately snatched Song Xiuxiu into the house with Liu Rulong, and complained loudly: "Kill a chicken, the chicken ran away, look what the blood looks like!"

Xiucai Niang also reacted, and secretly scolded Song Xiuxiu for being a short-lived ghost. If she was going to die, she would cause trouble for his family. She insisted on publicizing the fact that she gave birth to a loser. , I was born, but it's a pity that it's a girl..."
