In recent years, Zhao Xiaomei has gradually begun to help Zhao Guihua with work.
As Xiaomei Zhao becomes more and more useful, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao's attitude towards the grown-up Xiaomei Zhao has changed.
From turning a blind eye at the beginning, to not saying much except asking Zhao Xiaomei to work every day, it seemed like she had two long-term workers at home.
This year happened to be the beginning of universal compulsory education, calling on all children to go to school.
But since Zhao Guihua, who is now ten years old, has fully taken on the responsibility of washing, cooking, and housework in this family, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother both chose to forget this because they could not lose Zhao Guihua's labor force.
The parents of the Zhao family thought very much. After all, their daughter would marry into someone else's family when she grew up. As long as she didn't miscalculate the money, reading so many books would ruin her brain.
And because Zhao Guihua couldn't worry about Zhao Xiaomei being alone at home with her parents, she never took the initiative to mention schooling to her parents, so the schooling was delayed. .??.
So, the family lived peacefully.
It wasn't until one day that Zhao's mother felt nauseated and retched when she got up in the morning, she was pleasantly surprised to find out that she was pregnant again.
This time, Zhao's mother carefully hid her belly for fear of being discovered by others, because she felt that everyone around her was like a whistleblower.
Mother Zhao had a good idea. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. She is extremely petite, and her due date is in the depth of winter.
When the time comes, as long as she wears more clothes and goes out less often, no one will suspect that she is pregnant again.
Although the fine would be doubled for giving birth to three children, she would accept the fine no matter how high it was as long as it allowed her to have a son.
In recent years, because she had no son, she could not hold her head up in her husband's family or even in the village. She had already had enough of this kind of life.
As for what to do if she has another daughter, Mother Zhao doesn't think about it at all. She must have a son who can carry on the family line for her.
At the same time, Zhao's parents warned the Zhao Guihua sisters that they should never tell anyone about their pregnancy.
Seeing the two sisters nodding obediently, Mother Zhao touched her little daughter's head for the first time and gave her a loving smile, which made little sister Zhao feel very flattered.
In this way, with the efforts of the entire Zhao family, Zhao's mother's pregnancy was actually concealed.
Until one day, when Zhao Xiaomei followed her sister up the mountain to collect hogweed, she was pushed to the ground by several little boys. Not only did they trample the Zhao sisters' hogweed to pieces, they also clapped their hands in a circle and called the sisters "extremely wealthy"
"The dead girl".
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaomei was very angry. She rushed towards the fat man in the lead and pushed him down. She shouted, "We are not a destitute family. My mother is about to give birth to a brother!"
Zhao Guihua got up from the ground and tried to hold her sister's mouth, but it was already too late. She could clearly see the strange expressions on the faces of the adults watching the excitement in the distance after hearing these words.
Zhao Guihua felt bad, so she grabbed her sister and ran home. She had to go back and tell her mother to run away. The eyes of these people looked like they wanted to eat them.
But her plan failed. Before she and Zhao Xiaomei could run a few steps, several adults twisted their arms and held them in place.
<
br> When they were released home, they were greeted by a messy house made by their mother being dragged away, and a beating and kicking by their angry father.
Zhao Guihua had no way to resist her father's violence and could only use her small body to protect her more vulnerable sister.
Mother Zhao was released three days later, with two pieces of news that were like a bolt from the blue. The first one was that she was forcibly sterilized by the doctor because she was trying to challenge the authority of the staff because of her persistent incorrigibility. The second one was that she was sterilized.
The seven-month-old child who was aborted was really a boy.
Father Zhao was hit hard by these two pieces of news and fell seriously ill. It seemed that he would really have no choice but to remain a homeless person for the rest of his life.
Out of anger and unwillingness, the Zhao couple vented all their anger on the two sisters, beating and scolding them every day, without any warmth at all.
Zhao Guihua and Zhao Xiaohua were injured every day. Although Zhao Guihua tried her best to protect Zhao Xiaohua every time, Zhao Xiaohua's character became quieter and quieter. In the later period, she did not even say a word for several days.
Finally, one morning when Zhao Guihua was twelve years old and Zhao Xiaohua was six years old, Zhao's mother had nausea again because she discovered that she was pregnant again after having been sterilized.
Surprised, Zhao's mother began to inquire in private, but heard that the hospital had to perform a large number of ligation surgeries every day, so there were cases of surgical failure.
For some people, the surgery didn't work at all, and they became pregnant again.
And these pregnant people were dragged onto the operating bed again, repeating the original pain.
Mother Zhao was shocked when she heard this. She did not expect that such a lucky thing would happen to her. God would allow her to have such an opportunity to give birth to a son again.
After that, Mother Zhao found an excuse to leave. She still remembered clearly how she had no children last time. The seemingly harmonious and friendly neighbors in front of her were actually not good people.
Zhao's mother suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and returned home to discuss countermeasures with Zhao's father. After being surprised, Zhao's father's wishes were very consistent with hers. They must give birth to this son.
The couple lay on the bed and talked about the pain and uneasiness they had experienced for more than ten years, and then hugged each other and cried for half the night, as if the child in Zhao's mother's belly had become the only reason for their survival.
Finally, the two people who had cried enough finally got down to business and began to discuss where the two sisters would go.
When there were no sons, these two daughters were indeed very useful. They took care of people and poultry in the mountains and rivers at home and in the house. Occasionally, when they were in a bad mood, they could use these two sisters to vent their anger. These two people
Like two hard-working punching bags.
But now the situation is completely different. They are about to have a son, and these two sisters have become a stumbling block. If these two sisters do not disappear, their son will face threats at any time.
The most important thing is that when they already have two children, if they have another child, the number of people in their village will be exceeded.
Those workers would definitely tear down their house completely and drive their family out of the village.
Therefore, in order to stay in the village and live well, they must get rid of their two daughters.
As for the possibility that the child in their belly might be a girl, the couple never considered it. Over the years, Zhao Xiaomei gradually began to help Zhao Guihua.
