"Dad...Dad...Dad..." There were anxious calls, and a young man ran from not far away.

Wearing a patched shirt, he ran forward and kept shouting.

Father Li, who was peeling bark from a tree, almost fell down.

"What are you shouting for? Are you shouting for souls?" Father Li scolded his eldest son under the tree.

"Dad...my mother just fainted!"

"What? Your mother fainted?" Father Li climbed down from the tree with nimble hands and feet.

The eldest son Li Jin had to say that his father is still going strong.

"Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you go find Old Man Zhang?" Father Li wanted to hit someone.

"Looking for it, looking for it, hey hey hey... It's still you, dad... hehe hehe..."

"Hey, you are so big. Your mother fainted, but you are so happy, right? Your mother must be reluctant to take a bite, she is hungry!"

"no no…"

"Nothing is wrong, they are all debt collectors. Your mother and I are pitiful..." After father Li lectured his son, he did not forget to put the freshly peeled bark into his cloth pocket.

"My mother is pregnant!" Li Jin finally managed to interject, saying that we made her faint from hunger.

After all, he still blames himself.

He's so hungry now, and he still...

"What? What did you say?" Dad Li couldn't believe his ears.

My mother-in-law is already forty, and my grandson is several years old. This...

Thinking of this, the old man blushed, then turned his head and glared at his son.

"You didn't tell me earlier!" After saying that, he ran home quickly.

Father Li is an ordinary farmer in Xiaopo Village.

There has been a drought here for two years, and no crops can grow in the fields. They are so hungry that they can only peel bark from trees to eat.

Sometimes we don't even have to eat the bark.

Now more than a dozen members of Father Li's family are sitting around discussing whether to keep the child.

Father Li now has three sons.

The eldest son Li Jin is also married and has two sons.

The second son, Li Yin, has also married and now has a son and a daughter.

The third son is still young, only ten years old. Unfortunately, he had a fever when he was a child and became mute.

Counting Father Li himself, their family has a total of eleven people.

So now that our mother-in-law has given birth again, everyone is discussing whether to keep this child.

"What do you say?" Father Li looked at his two sons.

The eldest son shook his head, and the second son also shook his head.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Qian Xiaoxiao, looked at her father-in-law, "We...even if we wanted...we don't have food at home...we can't keep it..."

After speaking, he looked at his two sons again.

He is as skinny as a stick, and his eldest son is obviously six years old, but he still looks like he is four years old.

"What do you think?" Father Li looked at his second daughter-in-law again.

"Mom, you can keep it if you want. How much can a little milk baby eat?" Liu Meihua shouted with a loud voice.

Little Qian glanced at her secretly.

She will be a good person.

At this time, the door of the hall was opened, and mother-in-law Mrs. Liu walked in.

She first glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law. Qian Xiaoxiao immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at her mother-in-law.

"Mom...are you okay?"

"mother…"

Li Jin and Li Yin got up from their chairs.

"Mom... you can keep it if you want. Maybe this child will be a girl. Don't you and dad just want a girl?" Liu Meihua stepped forward to support her mother-in-law and aunt.

Father Li looked at her, "Old lady, what do you think?"

From the joy after just knowing that she was pregnant to the difficult decision now, Dad Li was also very sad.

It's a hard time.

How can a family survive if we keep this little baby?

Ms. Liu sighed, "I won't keep him anymore. He has no connection with our family."

"Mom...the medicine is here!" Qian Xiaoxiao tremblingly carried the medicine into the back room.

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and said, "Let this go..."

"Ouch..." Qian Xiaoxiao slipped and sat on the ground, and the medicine in the bowl was knocked to the ground.

Mrs. Liu looked at her with an expression like "What else can you do?"

Qian Xiaoxiao quickly got up from the ground, "I'm going to make a bowl." After saying that, he picked up the pieces on the ground and ran out.

"Isn't medicine a thing? You don't have to buy a bowl with money! I bought this for a piece of bark. Don't you need to chop the firewood? You prodigal woman!" Mrs. Liu came out of the house and shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

Qian Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and hid inside, not daring to speak back.

Li Jin came in from outside, "Hey... Mom is in a bad mood, so don't mess with her."

"I didn't mean it. I was handling it well, but I don't know what happened, but my foot slipped all of a sudden..."

Li Jin nodded, "Okay, okay... I'll make a bowl soon."

Qian Xiaoxiao complained, "I didn't cause my mother-in-law to be pregnant, so why are you angry at me..." Although he complained, he kept moving and boiled another bowl of medicine.

Mrs. Liu sat in the yard and stared in the direction of the kitchen. After a while, Qian Xiaoxiao came over with medicine.

"Mom..." Just as he was about to reach his eyes, Qian Xiaoxiao suddenly staggered again and fell to the ground face up.

Another bowl was broken and the medicine was spilled on the ground.

"You're going to die...! My bowl..." Mrs. Liu looked at the fragments on the ground distressedly.

Li Jin ran over quickly, "What's wrong? Why did you fall again!"

Qian Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, "There is a ghost... there is a ghost..."

Mrs. Liu slapped her on the back, "What are you yelling about?"

Qian Xiaoxiao got up from the ground, "Mom... I really walked well... Someone pushed me..." She immediately turned back and looked not far away.

Liu Meihua just came out of the house. There was nothing to eat at home, so she stayed still if she could to save herself from hunger.

As soon as she came out, her sister-in-law said someone pushed her. She quickly waved her hand, "It wasn't me. I just came out..."

Mrs. Liu snorted and said, "You..." She wanted to curse something but then she covered her stomach.

It's only been a month, but she just felt like her stomach was moving.

"Mom...what's wrong with you?" Liu Meihua quickly came over and helped her.

"Go...make me another bowl of medicine."

Liu Meihua nodded, "Okay."

When Liu Meihua boiled the medicine and came out, Mrs. Liu, Father Li and others were waiting in the yard.

"Here comes the medicine..." Before she could finish her words, a tile from the kitchen fell and hit Liu Meihua's feet.

Liu Meihua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly she covered her feet and shouted.

"Ahhhh!!! My foot!" The medicine bowl fell to the ground again.

Fortunately, Ms. Liu reminded her and asked Liu Meihua to bring the wooden basin.

Otherwise, another bowl will be scrapped.

"mother…"

"plum bossom…"

Li Yin ran over with his two-year-old daughter in his arms, followed by his four-year-old son.

Father Li looked at the sky, "Is this a warning from God?"

Liu retorted: "How is that possible? They are just too stupid."

Gods and ghosts don't exist at all.

Father Li stood up and said, "I'll go and get through it." After saying that, he looked at everyone, "If something happens again this time... this child will stay..."

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly. She really felt weird. This thing was too weird.

She just felt like someone pushed her from behind.
