Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"There are only two families in the village whose wives are pregnant!" Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "The only family that is about to give birth is Zhu Laoshi's family!"

"Then let's go over and take a look, Secretary Tang." Captain Zhu said as he started to walk out, but after taking two steps he suddenly stopped and looked back at Tang Mei and the others.

"Okay, let's go. You lead the way." Tang Mei found the look on his face a little funny.

So, a group of people, led by Captain Zhu, came to the most dilapidated adobe house in the village.

The house looked horrible. The dirt at the corners had been eroded and was falling off, and the thatch on the roof looked shabby, obviously not the new straw that was replaced this year.

It goes without saying that the man living here must be a lazy guy.

"Zhu Laoshi! Zhu Laoshi! You lazy man, come out here!" As soon as Captain Zhu arrived at the place, he shouted at the top of his voice.

His voice was so loud that even Tang Mei couldn't help but wonder if her eardrums would be broken.

However, having a loud voice sometimes has its advantages.

In less than a minute, a shirtless man wearing only a pair of worn coarse cloth trousers ran out in a hurry.

"Oh, Captain! Aunt Wang! Why are you two here?" When Zhu Laoshi saw the captain, he was so fawning and attentive. But when he saw Aunt Wang, his eyes narrowed obviously, and he looked like a guilty thief.

"Stop talking nonsense! Call your wife out!" Captain Zhu looked at Zhu Laoshi in front of him with a look of disgust on his face.

"She...she...she is sleeping." Zhu Laoshi's expression was very unnatural.

Even a rough man like Captain Zhu could see his discomfort at this moment. Aunt Wang didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just walked sideways past Zhu Laoshi and went straight in.

"Hey, hey, sister-in-law, don't... don't go in!" Zhu Laoshi saw Aunt Wang walking straight in and suddenly panicked, and tried to stop her in a hurry.

However, how could he stop a determined and experienced hunter?

Aunt Wang waved her arm, and Zhu Laoshi seemed to be hit by a huge force. His body suddenly tilted forward, and then he fell awkwardly on the dilapidated door panel.

Tang Mei witnessed all this and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This aunt is really a heroine! Even a grown man can't do anything to her, she is really amazing!

"Captain, look at her, she is such a fierce woman. She even hit people! You have to seek justice for me!" Zhu Laoshi covered his swollen cheeks and complained to Captain Zhu like a punching bag.

Captain Zhu glared at Zhu Laoshi fiercely after hearing what he said, and said loudly: "She hit you lightly, and that was not enough! Do you still expect me to do it? If I do it, it will be more than just a slap in the face! I will record your account first, and after I investigate it clearly, I will see how I will deal with you!"

Zhu Laoshi felt aggrieved, but he dared not say anything more. He could only stand there and watch the group of people walk into the house. His eyes were full of helplessness and fear, as if he knew that he might face more severe punishment next.

Tang Mei and the other two tiptoed into the house. The light in the house was dim, with only a few small windows letting in a faint light.

The ground was covered with compacted earth, with some potholes and uneven surfaces. The furniture in the house was very simple: a rough wooden stake with four uneven legs that seemed like it would fall over at any time;

Several homemade wooden stools looked very fragile. Tang Mei thought that if she sat on them, they might make a creaking sound.

In the corner stood a shabby wooden stick door, a little crooked, and it seemed that there was nothing inside.

Although the whole house is a bit shabby, every place is tidy, which shows that the daughter-in-law of this family is quite clean.

However, as soon as I stepped through the door, a strong smell of blood hit my nose.

In this era, there was no such thing as sanitary napkins, and most women used wood ash to deal with menstrual problems.

Tang Mei guessed that the daughter-in-law of this family probably also used wood ash. In this way, there was no need to go anywhere else, as it was basically certain that the child was from this family.

Tang Mei signaled Jiang Qing to stay outside the door and act as the "door god" with Captain Zhu.

She and Luo Xiuyun held the child and walked into the room where Aunt Wang was talking.

There was a shabby wooden bed in the room, which was surprisingly made of several pieces of wood.

The bedding on the bed was even more terrible, with patches all over the fabric like a puzzle.

At this time, a woman with a face as pale as paper, as if shrouded in death, was lying there quietly.

Her hair was a mess like a bird's nest. Perhaps she had just given birth. Sweat soaked the ends of her hair, and a few strands of hair stuck tightly to her forehead.

Those once bright eyes were now filled with fatigue and despair, completely lifeless.

She was covered with a slightly faded coarse cloth dress. Despite the loose clothing, it was still difficult to hide her extreme weakness after giving birth.

Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, her figure looked extremely thin, and her slightly bulging belly still bore traces of childbirth.

When Tang Mei and another person walked into the room, the woman did not react at all, but just looked at them blankly.

Seeing this, Aunt Wang asked in an unfriendly tone: "Why don't you speak? Where is your child?" However, the woman just raised her eyelids slightly and remained silent.

"My dear wife, are you really so cruel that you don't even want your own flesh and blood?"

Aunt Wang's tone was full of disappointment and anger, and she looked like she was really disappointed in someone.

After a brief pause, she strode up to Luo Xiuyun, took the pitiful child from her hands, and carefully held it in front of Zhu Laoshi's wife.

"Honest wife, take a good look, who is this?"

When Zhu Laoshi's wife heard this, she slowly turned her head. When she saw the familiar blanket in front of her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes - that was the blanket she had carefully prepared for a long time!

Looking inside the blanket again, she saw the child's eyes were clear and bright, staring at her.

"This...this...this is my Niu Niu!" The woman was surprised and happy. She quickly reached out to take the quilt, and then gently stroked the child's delicate little face with her slightly rough hands.

At this moment, her face was no longer as lifeless as before, but instead glowed with a maternal radiance and vitality.

"This child was found on Xiaogang Mountain by the town's secretary and clerk.

How could you be so cruel to just say you don't want this girl?

Think about it, if those ferocious beasts come out at night, can your little girl survive?"
