The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 97 The Bought Child Bride ([-])

In a small courtyard in Mojia Village, there are two or three ordinary huts.

Inside the hut, built above the kitchen at the corner, a chimney that had already been blackened was wafting curls of cooking smoke.

In a thatched hut not far from the kitchen, there were screams of women one after another.

The scream was extremely shrill, and it was obvious that the owner of the voice was suffering unimaginable pain.

In the house, Wen Po, who was in charge of delivering babies, was sweating profusely, and the copper basin in her hand was filled with bright red blood.

A few dark red coarse cloths were hung on the edge of the basin, and there was a bloody smell with a rusty smell in the house.

This elderly steady lady stood up and straightened her waist, wiping the sweat off her face.

"Why is Bai Lin's baby so difficult to conceive? It has been tossing me for a long time. Xiujuan, bring me a bowl of water, I'm thirsty."

The girl called Xiujuan looked at the pale pregnant woman on the bed, turned around and poured a bowl of water, and handed it to Granny Wen.

As she stepped forward to wipe the sweat of the pregnant woman on the bed, she was talking to the midwife.

"Wen Po, how can I say that my brother and sister are having their second child, why is it so difficult to have this one?"

She looked at her brother and sister's big belly exposed under the quilt, which was still pointedly bulging, without any sign of deflation.

Although the amniotic fluid below had broken long ago, the child in the stomach refused to come out.

"According to my experience over the years, when Bai Lin was pregnant with this child, she must have not taken care of her body well. Look at her body is so thin. When she was pregnant, her body bones were not well taken care of. This baby will be very difficult to conceive. "

The lady Wen who spoke was surnamed Zhang, and was called Wen Po Zhang.

In the ten miles and eight towns outside Mojia Village, no one does not know her reputation.

Xiujuan listened to what Wen Po Zhang said, but she couldn't respond well, after all, the woman's body on the bed was indeed a little thin and deformed.

It is extremely rare for a pregnant woman to be so thin.

She knew that her younger brother and sister were pregnant, and her mother would not welcome her.

The blame for this incident can only be attributed to the sarcastic women in the village, who told my mother all day long that the baby my brother and sister were carrying was a girl.

But across a belly, who can know whether the child born in the future will be a boy or a girl?
She glanced out through the slit of the papered window, the sun outside was already getting bigger.

She still remembers that from the moment the rooster crowed for the first time, her younger brother and sister began to have stomach pains, which woke up the whole family.

Mother just turned over on the bed and said, "Don't worry, she won't be able to give birth for a while." She didn't even get out of bed to see her siblings.

In the end, it was she who braved the hazy sky and ran all the way to invite Mrs. Wen from the next village.

Now that the sun is setting, the child conceived by the siblings has not yet been born.

She also didn't see her mother bringing in some soup to give her strength.

Thinking about waiting for the younger siblings to give birth to this child, I'm afraid they will be disappointed.

Xiujuan was still thinking about it, when a scream of "ah" suddenly sounded in her ear.

She looked down and saw beads of sweat dripping down the faces of her siblings who were giving birth.

At this time, the siblings looked like gold paper, as if they were about to die.

Before she could take a closer look, Mrs. Wen Zhang spoke.

"Hurry up and get another pot of hot water. If the head doesn't come out at night, she probably won't be able to keep the baby."

Xiujuan was stunned when she heard this. She stood up and went to change the hot water.

Before leaving, she took another look at her sister-in-law, and saw that the latter's fingers were pinching the head of the bed hard, with bloody marks on her fingertips, and she felt a trace of unbearable in her heart.

When Xiujuan entered the kitchen, Bai Lianshi, who was making lunch, glanced at the copper basin in her hand, and asked, "Have you not given birth yet?"

Xiujuan didn't realize it for a moment, and when she finished scooping hot water into the basin, she remembered to reply.

"No, Wen Po Zhang said maybe we should wait until the evening. Mom, I think my sister-in-law is not having it easy either. She started eating chicken and now she hasn't even had a bite of food..."

"Bang Dang" sounded.

But Bai Lianshi, who was cooking, threw the spatula in her hand into the pot. The hot oil in the pot splashed on Lin Xiujuan's hand, making her grimace in pain.

"What, you damn girl feel sorry for her because she has no food to eat, don't you? When your mother and I gave birth to you, it was the same for a few days and nights when I gave birth to you? Which woman would not go through the test of having a child in her life? You will send Kindness, you have such a great ability, let someone from your husband's family come and take you back!"

When Bai Xiujuan heard the word "husband's family", she immediately became frightened.

Bai Lianshi was still chattering, "You are a married girl who still eats and drinks at her mother's house, and you still have the nerve to sympathize with others? Don't forget that she, Lin Shu, was the one that my father and I spent three and a half dollars on. The child bride-in-law bought from Tie Tuogou with a lot of money! Whether she lives or dies in this family is up to me alone!"

Bai Xiujuan was scolded so much by Bai Lianshi that she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, her husband's family was sure they didn't want her, so she dared not tell her mother, for fear that her mother would kick her out.

Seeing that her daughter was about to go out timidly, Bai Lin reached out and lifted the wooden cover above the cauldron on the left.

From the white rice, she grabbed two dry and hard steamed buns left over from eating last night, put them in an empty bowl, and asked her daughter to hold them.

"Go and put some hot water in this steamed bun, soak it and give it to her to eat. Don't let people say that I have treated her as a child bride. How can she have the energy to eat dry rice after giving birth to a woman? The meal will be ready later , you get a side order and send it to Mrs. Zhang."

Hearing her mother's eccentric words, Bai Xiujuan could only say "Hey" and dared not speak any more.

Holding the wooden basin filled with hot water in one hand and the blue and white bowl containing two steamed buns in the other, she walked towards the room where her siblings were.

Around dusk, Bai Lin's second child was born.

This one is still a daughter.

Bai Lianshi, who sent Wen Pozhang away with money, returned to his room with a gloomy and terrifying expression.

Daughter, daughter again!
Is it so difficult for her to want a grandson who can carry on the family line?
You know, she has given birth to a son like Bai Shisheng for the first time in her life.

She had hoped that Lin Shu, the bought child bride-in-law, would be able to spread the branches and leaves for the Bai family, but now it seems that there are two extra burdens.

The older one is three years old this year, and will be able to work in a few more years.

If you are older, you will be able to marry and get back a gift money.

As for the little one, should we just kill it?
Bai Lianshi was sitting on the bed in the room, with a wavering light in his eyes.

These days, there are not too many families who drown their baby girls.

Everyone wants a son, so what's the use of having a daughter?In the future, they will all be losers who want to marry off.

Just when she was about to make up her mind to throw the baby born by her daughter-in-law into the dung bucket and drown, the daughter outside suddenly called out, "Brother, why are you back?"

As soon as Bai Lianshi heard the shout, he immediately realized that it was his son who was attending a new school in the city who had returned.

What's going on today?

How could he come back at this time?
Bai Lianshi quickly sat up from the bed, walked and ran to go out to see her son.

　There have been too many cases of infanticide in modern history... I dare not go into details for fear of being banned.
