Xiaolan, who was sobbing on her knees, whimpered and nodded, although the big melon was a little bald and wearing small clothes like a boy, she was indeed a girl.

Bai Lu has a guess that the isolated mountain village still pursues more children and more blessings, but there are big letters on the mud wall:

"To get rich, grow more trees, have fewer babies and raise more pigs."

It shows that there is still the so-called "family planning advocacy", and it is very important that raising an extra child is one more burden, and the boy will pass on the lineage, what should the extra girls do?

"When the big melon grows up, he will marry in another village and save a wife for the little melon, right?"

Xiaolan continued to acquiesce.

"The big melon can still grow until now, you are still young, if... What if you're going to have another girl? Isn't it ......?"

Frightened, painful, tearfully shaking his head.

Xiaolan's reaction verifies Bai Lu's guess that a girl who doesn't even have the value of exchanging relatives has only one way out, abandonment or drowning.

What if it was given to someone else in the village as a child bride?

No.

The villagers work together with outsiders, but internally, they don't want to be taken advantage of by others anyway.

They will calculate how much food will be wasted when the child daughter-in-law is raised from childhood to adulthood!

What are the waste of rations and money-losing goods, what are you doing in vain, since ancient times, landlords and rich peasants will raise them, and Ligou Village is full of poor peasants, and even if there is a surplus of food, they are not willing.

These villagers take selfishness, indifference, and patriarchy to the extreme.

"Before Xiaogua, I also gave birth to a girl, but I was thrown into the ditch by Wang Sheng and drowned......"

Bai Lu was taken aback, originally it was just a guess, but she didn't expect Xiaolan to have already experienced it.

"I don't want to, that's the meat that fell from my pregnancy in October, but how can I rob Wangsheng, he beat me, I can't stand the pain, but I still don't let go, Wangsheng grabbed the big melon ...... that is only one year old"

Brute! Bai Lu reprimanded angrily in his heart! Tiger poison does not eat children, and it is not completely impossible to open the pot, and the flesh and bones can be used!

"I can only keep one, just ...... Later, when I saw the people in the village scooping up the long poles, I didn't dare to approach, and I heard that they were all soaked ...... I'm sorry for that kid......"

Bai Lu wanted to comfort her a few words, but unfortunately after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find the right words, this is Xiaolan's fate, and it is also the fate of the original customer Zheng Huansha, and it is also the common fate of the women who were abducted or married in Ligou Village, why can such a cruel village still exist in the world?

Xiaolan didn't have much time to lament her fate, because her man Wangsheng returned, and Bai Lu looked at the vulgar man and hurriedly left the courtyard.

A Guiniang beckoned Bai Lu to add firewood, Bai Lu squatted on the ground and looked at the flames jumping in the stove, she really wanted to burn the village down with a fire now, to comfort the poor baby girls who were innocently deprived of their lives.

However, the reality is that she can't do anything, and the ultimate hatred is matched with the ultimate helplessness, which makes people hate their powerlessness.

Ah Guiniang was making cornmeal batter, putting her own home-milled corn flour in the pot, and telling Bai Lu while putting it that she couldn't put too much at a time, it depends on the heat and how viscous it is, the spoon should be stirred quickly and constantly, it is time to add firewood, it is time to add water, etc.

Bai Lu did as the old lady said, she needed enough time to plan her escape, so there was no head-on conflict for the time being.

If she could put off the so-called chapel until a month later, then this time would be the most intense time for her to prepare her plan.

According to A Guiniang's instructions, he obediently laid his hands on the side, and the simple and rough lunch was ready, and it was served on the table, Bai Lu planned to sit down and rest, but unfortunately he was yelled:

"Daddy hasn't sat yet, your man hasn't done it yet, how can you sit?!"

Bai Lu just added firewood and fanned the fire, and did a bunch of trivial things, and he already felt uncomfortable with black and dirty, but now that he was yelled at like this, he couldn't wait to smash Ah Gui's front teeth with a straight fist.

Nima's, Bai Lu has a sense of grievance that "the phoenix that falls to the ground is not as good as a chicken" and "the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs".

Standing silently aside, Bai Lu was extremely nostalgic for the last task, the customer Ms. Wu Xi had no problem single-handedly picking up five or six adult men, if there was still a body of kung fu, then you could fight violence with violence, who would still be angry!

The old man spoke: "Ah Gui, let your daughter-in-law sit aside." ”

Agui pushed Bai Lu, and Bai Lu looked up.

"Dad asked you to sit, what are you doing standing stupidly. ”

Bai Lu felt that the arm touched by Agui was instantly like accidentally rubbing into the mud of the stinky ditch, which was really uncomfortable.

Picking up the coarse porcelain bowl, taking a sip of corn paste, picking up the cake and taking a bite and swallowing it, Bai Lu felt like a brush scraping his throat, and he was really unaccustomed to eating.

Although in recent years, it has also been advocated to eat more coarse grains to increase coarse fiber and improve the dietary structure, but after all, the "coarse grain style" in the city is actually improved according to the eating habits of the city.

The taste of Tongjue wax, plus the food is indeed like wax, Bai Lu misses the meals cooked by Bai's mother too much, as well as the various takeaways eaten in the company, of course, she doesn't know that those takeaways are actually carefully cooked by Senior Brother Awen according to the ancient book of "Palace Imperial Food".

"What's the matter, you tell your father what you said about Mr. Zhou. ”

It's finally time for the topic!

Bai Lu looked frightened: "Mr. Zhou is a well-known Mr. Xiangming in our ten miles and eight towns, he said that my life is evil, so I will kill my mother, the midwife, and my grandmother, my father...... Mr. Zhou said that I can't marry before the ghost moon and the ghost month, otherwise I will marry directly into the ghost door when the ghost door is wide open...... It's okay for the husband's family to be hard, but it will definitely be transferred to the husband's fellow villagers......"

According to the previous words, adding oil and vinegar to the depiction, Bai Lu tried her best to present an image of "bad life, will lead to disaster", anyway, anyway, if you visit the church in three days, then there will be bad luck, either your family, or other people's homes, and then the other villagers will blame, it is not her business.

Ah Gui's father smoked a cold cigarette, thinking about Bai Lu's words.

I've lived for sixty or seventy years, and when I encounter things that are "unspeakable", I've heard the saying that the ghost moon is not suitable for going into the water and not kissing, but if you can't even go before the ghost moon, you haven't heard much of it, but if it's true, then it's troublesome.

Calculate the days, it will take about thirty or forty days after the ghost month, people are old and afraid of death, in order to be safe, thinking that Agui has been waiting for so many years anyway, and he is not in a hurry these days, otherwise he will postpone it until after the ghost month.

"Agui, you leave the village and say it, the day has changed, and it will be changed to the first day of August. ”

"Dad, I ...... it so hard."
