take a wife to support the family

Chapter 246 The Hen and the Red Egg

The neighbor woke up early in the morning without taking anything in his hands. Seeing the mess of Liu's house, he laughed quickly and said, "What are you afraid of? It will bloom in the first place and bear fruit in the end. It won't take two years for your male dolls to run away in groups."

After talking, he went home to fetch some eggs, and wanted to visit the mother formally.

Xiucai Niang hurriedly replaced the blood-stained bed sheet in Song Xiuxiu's room, twisted a handkerchief and threw it on her face, saying, "Wipe, what do you look like with disheveled hair!"

Song Xiuxiu wiped her face with a handkerchief, as long as people kept coming, her and the child's lives could be saved.Her lower body was still bleeding, and soon soaked the bed sheets. Xiucai Niang frowned and used loess soil to stop the bleeding again, and finally gave her a bowl of water to drink in order to make her look decent.

In the courtyard, Xiucai's father had almost cleaned up the blood all over the floor, and he sighed and said to the little Xiucai: "Whether this woman can survive or not, the baby has to be raised."

After a while, all the neighbors will come to visit the newborn baby. Song Xiuxiu's appearance shows that she won't live long, but the little baby is fat and energetic. If it is said that she is in poor health and dies within a few days after birth, it will be embarrassing.

The little scholar's face was distorted: "That stupid woman gave birth to it, I won't raise it!"

Xiucai's father said: "It's just a girl. How many catties of food will it cost to raise it for a few years?" He explained the pros and cons in detail with him, and finally added, "It's that Miss Huang. If you can't tolerate this baby, I'm afraid he's not a magnanimous person, so our family doesn't dare to marry him."

It was so easy to convince the little scholar, some neighbors had already brought six or eight eggs to congratulate her, and someone asked: "Your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby. You have forgotten everything about your happiness and didn't tell your mother-in-law, right? You say go!"

The talented lady here did not stop her, she had already rushed to the Song family to announce the good news, saying that Song Xiuxiu gave birth to a fat girl last night.

Niu wholeheartedly hoped that his daughter would give birth to a son, but fortunately the Song family had a foothold, but she didn't expect to have a daughter, so she couldn't help but stumbled and said, "Bad luck!"

After all, she was her own daughter, so she felt a little distressed, and quickly asked Mrs. Dong to cook the red eggs, took a hen, and went to visit Song Xiuxiu with herself.

When a girl gives birth to a child, her mother’s family wants to spread red eggs, and Lao Song’s family has to disperse one or two hundred eggs a day. Just thinking about it, Dong’s body hurts, and he asked her mother-in-law in a low voice: “Mother, Xiuxiu gave birth to a girl, Most of our family is like this, don't make my uncle's family unhappy."

Niu stared at Dong fiercely and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Xiuxiu worked so hard to conceive for ten months for his family, and gave birth to a child, not to mention a girl, even an insole. I have to take good care of my daughter! And you, the old man and I are the ones in charge now, if you dare to be mean to Xiuxiu, how dare I hand over the property to you in the future!"

As she said that, she wanted to ask Song Haoshi to teach Dong a lesson. Thinking of Song Haoshi's big slap, Dong quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to part with eggs. Is it because I'm afraid that Xiuxiu will have a hard time at her in-law's house?"

To prevaricate a few words, I will go to the neighbors to buy eggs first: they can have at most twenty or thirty eggs at home, and if they have more, they have to go outside to buy them.

There are not many extra eggs in the neighbor's home, and each family has seven or eight dozen eggs. When will I receive them?

Niu felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was useless, and scolded: "The second son's family raises so many chickens, how can there be no eggs? His sister gave birth to a child, and he, as an uncle, can still pretend to be dead?"

Dong was full of displeasure, and on second thought, if she asked Song Haonian for eggs, she didn't even have to pay, but if she asked for fifty eggs, she could give some to Jinbao. In front of Hao Nian's house, he laughed loudly at the door: "Second brother, the family of the second child, great joy!"

Lily was not at home in the store to settle the accounts, Song Haonian was working in the cellar, although the door of the house was open, but there was no one there, only Heihu looked after the house.

Heihu didn't recognize Dong Shi, when he saw her barging in, there was a growling threat from his throat, he lowered his body as if to pounce, Dong Shi was startled, and hurriedly backed out and closed the door, not to be chased by Heihu.

Mrs. Dong called for someone through the door, and Song Haonian came up from the cellar to drink water after a while, only to see her standing in front of her house, and asked calmly, "What is sister-in-law doing here?"

As he said, he pushed open the door, and the black tiger was about to pounce, but Song Haonian stopped it, not letting it bite.

While taking a peek at Heihu's movement, Mrs. Dong said with a smile on her face: "Xiuxiu gave birth to a baby girl yesterday, mother asked me to announce the good news to you!"

"It's really a good thing." Song Haonian said, "When my wife comes back, let's go see Xiuxiu."

Seeing that he was about to enter, Mrs. Dong hurriedly said, "Second brother, we need to scatter red eggs at home, and there are not enough eggs. Mother asked me to ask you for them."

Song Haonian looked back at Mrs. Dong: "Come to ask for eggs, or come to buy?"

"...I want eggs." Mrs. Dong bit the bullet.

Song Haonian sighed, thinking it was a big happy event for his sister, he went into the house and brought out twenty fresh eggs, and said: "We only have these at home, you can take them."

Boss Dong is not happy, she came all the way here with the idea of ​​earning a few eggs, Song Haonian wants to get rid of her just because of this idea?

When she was about to make a fuss, Song Haonian stood in front of her, tall enough to cover the sun, Dong immediately didn't dare to make a fuss, and forced a smile: "This is not enough, after all, you can't get any extra , that's all."

He left with the basket in his hand, for fear that Song Haonian would repent and chase after him to ask for the eggs back.

Mrs. Dong pieced together seventy or eighty eggs, boiled them in one pot, dyed them with red yeast rice, carried them in a basket, and went to Song's house with her mother-in-law.

Niu had been optimistic about a fat hen earlier, and was going to nourish his daughter and grandson. Now that he heard that it was a granddaughter, he let the fat hen go, and picked another hen that was a circle smaller and weighed two catties. He wrapped the hemp rope around his feet, and carried him to Liu's house from the root of his wings.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the gate of Liu's house, they saw many people talking around. The women who were closer were in Song Xiuxiu's room, and the women who were farther away were standing on the steps or sitting in the courtyard. , Others joked a few times, and she only replied, and there was no smile on her face.

In his heart, Niu was not very satisfied with his daughter's unsatisfactory belly, but she could be dissatisfied with her daughter, but Xiucai Niang couldn't shake her face, and immediately laughed loudly: "Mother-in-law, congratulations!"

The talented lady simply didn't know how to put on a good face, so she saw Niu smiling and offering red eggs to everyone, "Everyone is very happy."

Everyone took her eggs, and since they wanted to say good things to her and her daughter, they jumped out of the house without paying any money, which made Niu smile all over his face. Song Xiuxiu's confinement room.

Xiao Xiuxiu is a scholar, she wants to save face, and must not let outsiders know that he plans to kill his wife and children, so Song Xiuxiu has brown sugar water to drink at this time, and feels that the strength she lost has regained a little bit.

She hugged her daughter and did not let go. As soon as Niu entered the door, she saw her weak appearance, and exclaimed, "Xiuxiu, why are you like this?"

Seeing her mother, Song Xiuxiu wanted to sue, but she opened her mouth but didn't know where to start, a string of tears fell first.Niu only thought she was squeamish, and said with a smile: "Why are you crying, now that you have a daughter, you can conceive another one in a few months after confinement, and then you will be a son!"

Song Xiuxiu was still spinning around the gate of hell, choked up and said to Niu: "Mother, I'm not in this room, you take me back!"

Niu said hurriedly: "They are all people with daughters, and they are not little dolls. Why are you getting angry?"

Mrs. Dong also persuaded her sister-in-law: "A man of this age still talks like a child, put away your tears and show us your daughter."

Song Xiuxiu said aggrievedly: "I didn't get milk, when she was born, the milk still hasn't touched her lips!"

Mrs. Niu hurried out and said to Xiucai's mother: "Mother-in-law, make some rice soup to feed my granddaughter. You think you are so confused, you are too busy talking with others, and the baby hasn't even got a sip of water."

Xiucai's face was white and red, and she quickly took a handful of rice to make rice soup, thinking: "The voice star has no milk, can you live with rice soup?"It's better for the mother and daughter to die together quickly.

Song Xiuxiu was still arguing with Niu to go home, but Niu got impatient and scolded her: "When you marry the Liu family, you were born as a member of the Liu family and died as a ghost of the Liu family. What nonsense are you going back to your natal family!"

She was also worried, the little scholar herself was a tall branch that was difficult to reach, and she finally fell into Song Xiuxiu's hands. She only hoped that Song Xiuxiu would give birth to a son as soon as possible, and gain a firm foothold in the Liu family. It's a good thing that she didn't send her daughter back in face, and Xiuxiu, who doesn't know what's going on, is still making a fuss about going home, so she's not afraid of being upset by her in-laws.

Many relatives of Liu Rulong's family followed to persuade Song Xiuxiu: "Your luck is yet to come."

Song Xiuxiu threw off the quilt, pointed to the mattress that she had soaked a lot of blood, and said, "Look, how can I be blessed? I heard their Liu family discussing to put me to death early in the morning, and put my daughter to death." Mom, you take me home, this place can't survive!"

Everyone changed color, and it was a relative of the Liu family who said: "Xiuxiu is in pain and confused, but bleeding is not a trivial matter, please go to the doctor."

Mrs. Niu hurriedly urged Mrs. Dong to invite Liu Langzhong, with tears in her eyes: "Mother didn't know that you are like this, and you are so hard on me." My heart aches, but she still doesn't allow her to say back, "Take care of your body and take care of yourself." Good health and everything else is easy to say."

Song Xiuxiu closed her eyes in despair, she should have thought of it a long time ago, firstly, no one wanted to offend the little scholar, and secondly, no matter how much her mother loved her, she would not take her back to her natal home.

Now that she is in such dilapidated condition, she can't do anything except spend money to bring her back, and she has to bring a baby who is only a day old.

Her husband's family doesn't allow it, her mother's family doesn't want it, she should have known that now she can't rely on anyone, only she and this poor little thing hug each other to die.

Niu didn't know what was going on, and said that her daughter was having trouble, and when the rice soup was ready, she wanted to take the baby to feed the rice soup, but Song Xiuxiu went crazy, and no one was allowed to touch her daughter, and whoever wanted it would fight desperately.

Niu had no choice but to ask her to hold the baby by herself, and she blew the rice soup to make it warm, and fed it to Nai Wazi who was already starving.
