Chapter 43: The Secret (2nd Update)

Zhang Ertao, who was lying on the ground, had never been beaten outside, the Zhang family beat the children in their own home, at the age of eight, she inherited the selfishness and ruthlessness of the Zhang family, and the virtue of dying to save face and suffer crimes, and now she has resentment and anger in her heart that does not belong to the child.

After Hu Xiujuan kicked her again, Zhang Ertao finally broke out. She stood up neatly, turned around and pushed Hu Xiujuan violently, staring at her with yin owl eyes, and telling a secret that had been hidden for three years regardless of it, "Do you think you can still give birth?! I didn't kill the little cub in your belly at the beginning, but it broke your body!

Zhang Ertao pointed at Hu Xiujuan and screamed, Zhang Tao, who was hiding on the side, suddenly turned white, panicked and overwhelmed, and subconsciously stepped forward to cover the second sister's mouth.

"What are you talking about?!Say it clearly!" Hu Xiujuan waved her hand and pushed Zhang Tao away, staring at Zhang Ertao with gloomy eyes to ask her to make it clear.

The onlookers were also stunned, why did they pull out something else? Look at the second elder of the Zhang family and Zhang Fusheng, the three of them were also confused, what did Zhang Ertao mean by this?

The old village chief felt that something was wrong, "Er Tao, what did you mean by that?"

"Say it quickly!" Hu Xiujuan became more and more flustered for some reason, and in a fit of anger, she wanted to reach out and beat someone.

Zhang Ertao took a step back vigilantly, being stared at by so many people, she was afraid for a while after her brain cleared up, but she still felt a little happy in her heart.

What can I do if I say it? It's been so long, no matter what, the family won't beat her to death, it's just a beating, and after the beating, life is still the same.

Zhang Ertao is still a child in the end, there is no bottom line without worries, and he always feels that no matter how bad he is, he can be worse.

"Dead girl, do you want to say it?!" Hu Xiujuan frantically twisted Zhang Ertao's cheeks again, and the skin was broken ruthlessly, and Zhang Ertao's tears fell down in pain.

"Woooooooooo......oo It's grasshoppers!" Zhang Ertao couldn't stand it and shouted, while breaking free of Hu Xiujuan's hand, "The eldest sister said that grasshoppers can make the child in your belly not survive......!

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Tao in surprise, but the nine-and-a-half-year-old girl, with black hands like hemp sticks, was panicked and scared at this time, and subconsciously wanted to retreat and hide.

Hu Xiujuan didn't know why the grasshopper couldn't make her own child, "Say! what's going on?!" couldn't control her anger, Hu Xiujuan slapped Zhang Tao again, which happened to be symmetrical left and right, but this time, no one helped their sisters speak.

Although Zhang Tao resented Hu Xiujuan, she was also very afraid of Hu Xiujuan, and after being slapped, Zhang Tao finally relented and told the truth about what happened back then.

Speaking of which, this matter still has to start with Zhang Fusheng's deceased wife Wang Cuiying.

Sisters Zhang Tao, Zhang Ertao and Zhang Santao have been listening to their mother Wang Cuiying since they can remember, and she must have a son when she gives birth to a son and a son. can't give birth to a son, Wang Cuiying is more and more unwilling to see her sisters, extremely patriarchal thinking, beating and scolding them at every turn, and she is even more ruthless than Mrs. Zhang.

The sisters lived cautiously in front of their mothers, and after a long time, resentment grew.

Until Wang Cuiying was pregnant again, the eldest of the sisters was more than five years old at that time, and after knowing that her mother was pregnant, her first thought was not happiness, but jealousy and resentment.

What if it's a male baby? Why are they female babies, and this has to be a male baby?

The sisters have been secretly hoping that this baby will either be a girl like them, or ...... Just like the family in my grandmother's village, I can't support my son even if I give birth!

Wang Cuiying attaches great importance to the child in her belly, and always says that it is a son, so she specially went back to her parents' house, and Zhang Tao accompanied her at that time.

The grandfather of the Wang family is half a barefoot doctor, and he understands more about the taboos of pregnant women, so he instructed a few words about what not to eat, including grasshoppers that are very common in the fields.

Not only Wang Cuiying remembered herself, but Zhang Tao, who was in the house at the time, also remembered it in her heart.

Since then, Zhang Tao has always secretly stared at her mother's belly in a daze, and the grasshoppers that she dug up secretly several times did not make a ruthless move in the end, until Wang Cuiying suddenly gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a thin female baby, Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Cuiying gave birth to daughters one after another, and she couldn't get nutritional supplements, her body was already in deficit, and there was a famine when she gave birth to her fourth child, and she survived for two or three days before she died.

Zhang Tao didn't shed a single tear, but she was faintly happy in her heart, and she could be beaten less in the future.

But she didn't expect her father Zhang Fusheng to marry again so quickly, and in less than half a year, she married Hu Xiujuan and entered the door.

Hu Xiujuan was reluctant to marry into the Zhang family, and she had a big temper, and the punching bag was the Zhang Tao sisters, including Zhang Siya, who was still in infancy.

They can bear these Zhang Tao, Hu Xiujuan is not too heavy compared to her mother who has some nerves in order to give birth to her son, but what no one expected is that Hu Xiujuan became pregnant after more than a month.

The Zhang Tao sisters can be jealous of the child in their mother's mother Wang Cuiying's belly, and the belly of Hu Xiujuan, who is not related by blood, is equivalent to a thorn in their eyes.

The child is forgetful, Zhang Tao also forgot about the grasshopper at first, and looked at Hu Xiujuan holding her stomach every day and said that it must be her son, Zhang Tao's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

It wasn't until the child in Hu Xiujuan's womb was seven months old that Zhang Tao saw a few grasshoppers in the wild vegetables that Zhang Ertao dug up, and he remembered his grandfather's instructions at that time.

At first, Zhang Tao hesitated to get started, and then secretly told Zhang Ertao and Zhang Santao, Zhang Santao was still young at that time and didn't know much, but he didn't want his stepmother to have a male baby, and Zhang Ertao was the same.

Although Qinghewan was in the midst of a famine at that time, there was a southwest mountain, and the wild vegetables that were sparse and lala could still be found, and the Zhang Tao sisters went up the mountain to find a lot of grasshoppers and came back, and made up their minds to start secretly adding grasshoppers to Hu Xiujuan's meals every day.

Grasshopper (purslane) has the effect of inducing contractions, one or two meals are fine, but if you eat it every day, you will have a miscarriage within three days.

Hu Xiujuan didn't do anything after she was pregnant, and let her sisters serve her every day, so Zhang Tao easily mixed the grasshopper vegetables with all kinds of green vegetables.

Hu Xiujuan ate grasshopper vegetables for two days, and began to attack in the middle of the night that night, tossing until the sky was bright, and then gave birth to a sick girl - Lin Qing, and because she ate too many grasshopper vegetables, she completely injured her body this time.

A sick girl, the second elder of the Zhang family had a black face, and while the sky was not yet bright, Zhang Fusheng took Lin Qing, who was covered with blood, into the southwest mountain, found a grass nest, and threw it there, and when he went down the mountain, he met the old lady.
