Chapter 53: Women Sent to Fertility Centers

After saying good day, Nedra still remained extremely pious in his heart. The intonation and even rhythm of the four state-owned serfs were exactly the same, and this situation was played out in every room.

Then Nedra lay on the bed, and the pamphlet with the decrees of Our Lady was placed beside the bed. She guessed what her Lord looked like, and couldn't help but close her eyes.

As long as the laws are strictly followed, Nedra feels very lucky to be here.

Then, a smile appeared on her lips and she fell into sleep.

The next morning, Nedra put on the spring uniform. I heard that this uniform was designed by His Majesty himself, and everyone had her size.

Nedra felt that wearing this uniform made her whole person feel much more sacred, as if she were His Majesty's messenger.

Then, after the usual sun chanting, Nedra walked out with a joyful expression.

She saw this look on every woman's face. Each of them would move towards the light under the guidance of the Virgin Mary's decree.

The time to get up was six o'clock. They washed up at half past six and finished singing at seven o'clock. Then they started strange exercises in accordance with the requirements of the law.

The law says it's called running, and it has a standard posture.

But the person responsible for leading the run is not the nun, but the person designated by the nun.

He has the same identity as them, but he became the leader at this time.

Nedra looked enviously at the people who were organizing them to stand in formation. It had only been less than three days, but it was already much better than the first day.

Nedra's uniform no longer needed to be arranged. The uniform fit perfectly and Nedra stood together with the sisters in the room.

She could hear the running sounds of male serfs in the distance, but they were separated for men and women, and no one wanted to take a look.

After twenty minutes of running without breaking out into a sweat, Nedra felt refreshed. It was the time that she, or rather all the serfs, were most looking forward to.

Have breakfast.

Although they said they had to go home for lunch, breakfast and dinner were free. They were supposed to be exempted from several taxes. Nedra never expected such a good thing.

He and Barbaria looked at each other, and both of them saw the excitement in each other's hearts.

None of them were only children. There were at least seven or eight children in the family, but only one or two survived. Some even gave birth to more than twenty children, and one or two survived. They all understood very well.

The value of food.

Although it was a pity that the food here could not be taken back, they were very excited to have free meals.

The other two women in the same room also sat down next to them. Although they were not as close as Nedra and Barbaria in terms of relationship, the four of them did not dare to get into trouble. Instead, they had to unite as one, lest one of them make a mistake that would harm the others.

.

After breakfast, Nedra started her day's work.

She formed a team with a higher-ranking woman, and under the leadership of several adults who could only follow orders, they began to inquire where there were abandoned babies based on various intelligence and clues.

That woman was also a state-owned serf, but her status was higher than hers because she had nursing experience.

As for the adults, they heard that one of them was temporarily transferred from the mysterious office, and they did not dare to offend him at all.

But these adults did not bully them, because it was written in the decree of Our Lady that although they were state-owned serfs, wearing red armbands and white armbands were different from ordinary state-owned serfs, and harassing them was also punishable.

Moreover, the Virgin Mary's decree states that if they want to be sold, not only do they need their consent, but they also need to go through additional signatures, which is much more complicated than the ordinary procedures for selling serfs.

Now, in addition to the freedom to take a bath at night and go to church, they also have another freedom, that is, whether to allow themselves to be sold.

And even if you agree to be sold, half of the money sold will belong to you, which was unimaginable in the past.

Nedra does her job seriously, and no one dares to slack off, because everyone cherishes this opportunity very much.

Compared to the past where it was very easy to find abandoned babies, now we have to go further to find them.

When Nedela was returning with an abandoned baby, she passed by a street and saw a commotion. She had not planned to stay, and her mission was to bring the abandoned baby back, so she should not be delayed by other things, but she accidentally

Della saw Barbaria, Barbaria saw her, and then winked at her.

Nedra left quickly.

In the evening, when the two of them were taking a bath together, Nedra asked Barbaria:

"What happened during the day?"

The division of labor between the red armband and the white armband is different. The red armband has to travel more, and is responsible for bringing back abandoned babies from far away, and also bringing back their information.

The White Armband mainly uses horns, rattles and pulleys to collect babies in various Moscow neighborhoods.

Those who do not intend to have children will put the baby down from the window at night after hearing the sound of a horn or bell.

Relatively speaking, the work of white armbands is easier.

But what Nedra saw during the day was not just about the baby.

Although she did not stay, she also saw a detained woman who looked frightened and depressed.

Barbaria glanced at Nedra and whispered:

"That woman was going to send the baby to an orphanage, but she sneaked in secretly and took off her biological daughter's clothes in exchange for wine. I heard that this matter was spread to the ears of adults, and I was very angry."

Nedra couldn't help being stunned and whispered:

"How will it be dealt with?"

Barbaria curled her lips and said:

"What else can I do? It's considered infanticide."

After Barbaria said this, Nedra understood that in the Virgin Mary's decree, infanticide and infanticide were the same crime. If it was done by a man, he would be exiled to work for a lifetime. If it was done by a woman, he would be punished after giving birth.

In terms of age, they have to give birth every year until they are 45 years old, and then they are sent to work.

Nedra had no sympathy for this kind of punishment.

Although it's spring now, winter has just passed, and sometimes it's still quite cold. If you weren't in an orphanage, stripping off the baby's clothes in exchange for alcohol would be infanticide, and the baby would freeze to death.

No one will say anything about this kind of punishment.

Nedra asked softly:

"Are you sending her to a birth center?"

Barbaria nodded: "Yes, send it there."

Nedra said curiously:

"Have you been there? What's it like?"

The Holy Mother's decree only said that it would be sent there, but did not give more details, so Nedra just asked.

Barbaria glanced at Nedra and said:

"Don't ask about the birth center. You definitely don't want to go see it."

Thinking of the scene where the woman was escorted to see her today, Barbaria couldn't help but feel very happy.

That woman was still a small bourgeois and was even superior to them, but she just sent her in.
