Although the Flower Country in the early 1980s had reformed and opened up, Donglin Village was still one of the poorest places.
The people in the village were poor, and the people in the village could not save much money despite working hard for a whole year.
The poorer the family, the more obsessed they are with the idea of continuing the family lineage.
"Guoqiang, I'm not talking about your wife, she is just a hen that can't lay eggs. Look at her. When she was pregnant, nothing in the house kept her from eating and drinking. But now it's better. She has given birth to another baby for our old Li family.
You are a loser. Let me tell you, this child must be given away to me, otherwise, I will let her go back to her parents' family. My old Li family cannot afford to have a daughter-in-law who will ruin the family's descendants."
Mother Li shouted the last sentence loudly to Cheng Juan in the room.
After yelling, he patted his heart hard, feeling like he was going to be mad to death.
After listening to his mother's words, Li Guoqiang squatted silently in the corner of the door with his head in his hands, his face full of bitterness.
With this pregnancy, everyone said that Juanzi was pregnant well and that it would definitely be a son, but they didn't expect that after a day and night of pain, she gave birth to a little girl named Pianzi.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the eldest and second eldest brother sitting together on the stone slab at the door of the kitchen.
I have already given birth to two daughters, and now I have another daughter. I can’t blame my mother for being so angry.
Similarly, when she heard her mother-in-law scolding her in a shrill voice outside the house, Cheng Juan held her newborn daughter in her arms and burst into tears.
Those hot tears dripped on Shi Jiang's face, and Shi Jiang felt... so fucked up.
That's right, the body that Shi Jiang woke up in this time was the baby he had just given birth to.
Cheng Juan's tears fell on her face, making her very uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but twist her body, hands and feet. She didn't know what she felt in Cheng Juan's eyes, and she started crying again.
Shi Jiang...Shi Jiang was very uncomfortable.
However, now that she could not speak, she could only give up her struggle and close her eyes, her mind wandering too much to pay attention to the cry that filled her ears with a demonic voice.
No matter how distressed Li Guoqiang is, this matter must be dealt with.
So, after Cheng Juan finally stopped crying, she walked slowly into the house.
He did not dare to look at Cheng Juan, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the daughter who had just been born.
Then he gritted his teeth and said in one breath: "Juanzi, our family is really poor. It's not easy to support the eldest and second eldest son. Let's give the third son away!"
Hearing her husband's words, Cheng Juan's tears that she had managed to hold back burst out again.
After all, this is the meat that fell from my belly. When I was pregnant with her, I touched my belly before going to bed at night, and I didn't know how many whispers I said.
Even though she was a daughter, she felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard her husband's words!
However, she also knew that this child must be sent away.
Otherwise, her mother-in-law could do whatever she said and do and drive her back to her parents' home.
Hearing his wife's sobbing voice, Li Guoqiang did not dare to raise his head to look at her.
He was afraid that when he saw his wife's pleading eyes, he would soften his heart and keep the child.
The old Li family must not lose their roots here.
This is for the sake of Lao Li's family and Juanzi's good.
What his mother said before was definitely not a joke.
If he said he wanted to send Juanzi back to his parents' home, he would definitely not be lying.
He has feelings for Juanzi, and if he is asked to drive his wife back to her parents' home, he will definitely not be willing to do so.
Therefore, sending the third child away is the best choice.
"Juanzi, don't cry. Our family is poor. When the time comes, we will find a better home for our third child. She will definitely live a more comfortable life than staying at our house. Think on the bright side, she is going to enjoy happiness, so she won't be so
Feeling uncomfortable.
Hearing her husband's words, Cheng Juan's original sobbing paused, and then became noticeably smaller.
When Shi Jiang heard Li Guoqiang's words, he wanted to roll his eyes.
If you can't afford to raise a child, then don't have one. The family is so poor and they still favor sons over daughters and treat their wives like sows.
If you give birth to a daughter, you can't afford it, but if you give birth to a son, you can afford it?
Moreover, who can guarantee that after sending her away, the next child they will give birth to will definitely be a son?
What's more, what if they gave birth to a son?
Is it possible that this poor Dingdangxiang family has a throne to inherit?
The words full of complaints turned into saliva bubbles and were blown out of his mouth by Shi Jiang.
As a baby, Shi Jiang had no human rights. When she woke up, she was already in another place.
"Dawei, this kid looks really good."
A woman with a round face and short hair wearing a lotus leaf collar, small florals, and a long skirt was bending down to pat the swaddle holding Shi Jiang, and said with a smile.
Following what the woman said, Shi Jiang's black grape-like eyes moved and looked to the side.
I saw a man with a slicked back hair, probably a lot of hair oil on his head, his hair was meticulous, and he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit with his mouth pursed, standing aside and looking at the child in his wife's arms.
Speaking of this, Shi Dawei felt a little irritable.
When Liu Meifeng heard her husband's words, her smiling face could not help but stiffen.
He lowered his head, feeling grievance welling up in his heart.
Does she want to spend this wasted money?
Isn’t it the fault of the two of them? They have been married for ten years, but for some reason they just can’t get pregnant!
They also went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that both of them were fine.
But I don’t know why, but I just can’t give birth to a child.
The last time I went back to my husband's house, my mother-in-law came to see the couple quietly and said that they might have committed some crime.
That's why we were married for so long without giving birth to a son or a daughter.
They also said that the best way is to adopt a child, deceive the king of hell, and then let the child take care of him, so that he can bring a child of his own.
After hearing what their mother-in-law said, the two of them were very moved.
