Chapter 148 How could she be so heartless?

 It’s really a mystery for a woman to give birth.

Some women give birth to children. No matter how many babies they have already given birth to, they still experience excruciating pain every time. The pain often lasts for most of the day. It can be said that they have been tortured so much that they want to kick the "culprit" away.

 But some women have a particularly easy time giving birth. Except for the slight pain when giving birth to the first child, the other births are as simple as having a bowel movement. The child is born without much feeling at all.

Therefore, in rural areas of this era, it is often the case that pregnant women just go to the toilet and then "pull" their children directly into the urine bucket.

Ah Zhang Qi has the kind of physique that makes it easier to give birth to children. Except for her first daughter, who suffered a little while giving birth, her other three daughters were all very easy to give birth to, so she is not afraid of giving birth at all. .

What she was afraid of was that if she could not give birth to a son in this pregnancy, she would have to bear the wrath of her mother-in-law.

At this time, Ah Zhangqi was lying on the bed preparing to give birth to a baby. The person who delivered her was a cousin of Deng Changchun.

She wrapped the child in a cloth and placed it next to Zhang Qi. She comforted him: "Don't take your mother's attitude to heart. Take good care of your body and give birth to another child next year."

When Deng Shirong passed by the gossip gathering place in the village, he heard several aunts and wives in the village chatting about this fresh gossip.

 “Have you heard?”

After Aunt Eight left, the tears that Zhang Qi had been holding back finally fell.   …

Deng Yunzhen responded and went back to the kitchen to bring brown sugar eggs.

 Along with the baby's cry, Azhang Qi's fifth child was born.

“Fortunately, the first child I gave birth to was a son. If I had given birth to five daughters in a row like Zhang Qi, my life would not have been much easier.”

After saying that, he ignored her and just turned around and walked out of the house.

When the eighth aunt saw this, she secretly shook her head. She couldn't stand what her cousin-in-law was doing. She was also a rural woman. Affected by the environment, she was somewhat patriarchal. Her daughter-in-law had given birth to a daughter before, and she I wasn't very happy either.

"Oh well."

Hearing this, Zhang Qi’s face turned pale instantly.

"Um!"

A Zhang Qi was also unwilling to admit defeat in this regard. She took a deep breath and said, "Aunt Eight is right. No matter how many I give birth to, I will definitely give birth to a son."

"You don't know. I used to scold him, but at least I would help kill chickens and cook a few bowls of **** wine for Zhang Qi to drink. This time I heard that her mother-in-law didn't even care about it, and she didn't even have to eat sweet potatoes at noon. Not to mention killing chickens and making **** wine."

 “What did you hear?”

"Although Zhang Qi's belly is really disappointing, what her mother-in-law did was really too much."

 Actually, her body was not as weak as that of later mothers. Even if she had just given birth, she could get up and make food by herself if she wanted to.

As soon as he took a breath, Zhang Qi couldn't wait to ask: "Aunt Eighth, are you a son or a daughter?"

Changchun's mother looked ugly and snorted: "It's really useless, I can't even give birth to a son, so I just give birth to these losers."

The eighth aunt looked at the niece-in-law, her heart full of sympathy, and she could only encourage: "Don't think so much, this one must be a son."

“Sister A Ping, you continue to study, and we will come back as soon as we go.”

As an elder in the village, Deng Shirong naturally cannot tolerate such things that corrupt the village customs.

She has experienced this situation several times. Zhang Qi quickly recovered her mood and said to her cousin: "Aunt Eight, thank you. I will take good care of myself. If you have anything else to do, go back first!"

A Zhang Qi was lying on the bed, almost blind from crying.

Ah Zhang Qi has been disappointed four times in a row, and each time her expectations turned into disappointment. She no longer had the confidence to give birth to a son, so Aunt Eight's comfort did not reassure her. She said in a faint tone: "If this is still a daughter, , my mother-in-law doesn’t know how to scold me!”

Although it is not good to meddle in other people's affairs, Deng Shirong saw that the mother-in-law blamed her daughter-in-law for not giving birth to a son because of her own ignorance, and even refused to even give her a child a bite to eat. It was indeed a good thing to do. unacceptable.

 …

 Therefore, after returning home, Deng Shirong cooked a large bowl of brown sugar, longan meat and boiled eggs, which is the most ideal nourishing food for pregnant women.

 …

 In this era, rural people almost always gave birth at home, rarely going to the hospital, and the midwives who delivered the babies were not professional midwives. At most, they were women who had given birth to a few children and knew a little bit about midwives.

 “A Zhang Qi gave birth to another daughter.”

After it was done, Deng Shirong went to call his eldest daughter who was studying under the longan tree and said: "Azhen, Zhang Qi of the Changchun family has given birth. I cooked a bowl of brown sugar eggs. You go to the kitchen and follow me. Be careful not to It’s hot.”

"Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, ask the children to come over and call me."

Over the years, the eighth aunt had seen so many scenes of her nephew-in-law being scolded by her mother-in-law. She didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. She could only say: "Let's give birth to the child first. If it's a daughter again, then... Rebirth, you are still young anyway, it’s no problem to give birth to a few more children, you will always be able to give birth to a son.”

"That's not right. With the temperament of her mother-in-law, A Zhang Qi was not that miserable when she gave birth to her first and second daughters. When she gave birth to her third and fourth daughters, her mother-in-law They always stood at the door of their house and scolded them for a long time before they stopped. How come there was no movement at all this time? "

 “Isn’t it right? Going so far?”

“It’s my daughter again, this should be the fifth one, right?”

 “Alas, this is the fate of us women!”

Aunt Eight picked up the scissors boiled in boiling water and cut the umbilical cord, and said concisely: "Daughter."

Seeing that her cousin was ready to deliver the baby, Zhang Qi sighed and said, "Aunt Eighth, what do you think I should do if this baby is still a daughter?"

ten minutes later.

　　　…”

At the same time, hearing the cry of the baby, Changchun’s mother also came in and asked: “Aunt Eight, is it a boy or a girl?”

When she gave birth to a child, her husband went out to work in the morning and had not returned yet, and her mother-in-law ignored her. She was hungry at noon and did not even have a bite to eat. This treatment really made her feel extremely wronged.

 But no matter what, you still need to take care of her, and you cannot go too far like your cousin-in-law.

But she didn't move, just to see how heartless her mother-in-law was, and whether she really didn't care whether she lived or died after giving birth to a daughter.

 As a result, the longer she waited, the colder her heart became. Especially when her eldest daughter and second daughter came back and told her they were hungry, she collapsed instantly!

Although the couple and her parents-in-law have separated, even if they are just neighbors, when she gives birth to a child, she will help her in any way she can. What's more, she has to call her mother-in-law "Mom", and her daughter is still Granddaughter of mother-in-law.

How could she be so heartless?
