Chapter 5: The Dominant Wind
"Mom!"
At the last moment, Yu Youfu grabbed her arm from behind Xie Xiaofen with one hand, and quickly snatched the child she was about to fall to the ground with the other hand.
"Mom, what are you trying to do!" Yu Youfu was so anxious that he took a few steps back. He seemed to feel more and more terrible about his mother, who had become an unbelievable homicidal maniac.
The child in Xie Xiaofen's hand was snatched back by her own son, and she roared at Yu Youfu at the moment, and replied loudly: "I want a grandson!" I want grandchildren! ”
Xie Xiaofen's roar attracted countless audiences.
"Mom......." Yu Youfu shouted helplessly.
"You give her to me!" Xie Xiaofen looked angry and stretched out her hand to point at her son Yu Youfu.
At this time, Yu Jingjing was already sitting on the ground and crying. Liu Cuilan was particularly sad and stood there dumbfounded.
Yu Youfu took two steps back with the child, gently touched Yu Jingjing's head with the other hand, and said, "Jingjing, don't be afraid, stand up quickly." ”
"I can't give it to you!" Yu Youfu looked at Xie Xiaofen and replied.
As soon as Yu Youfu's words fell, Xie Xiaofen slapped Liu Cuilan hard with her backhand. Xie Xiaofen's slap on Liu Cuilan was very heavy and heavy, and the voice was also very loud. The crowd was stunned.
"You little slut! Stinky nun! The old lady threw her away! Why did you go and pick her up again?! Xie Xiaofen slapped Liu Cuilan, and then stretched out her finger and poked Liu Cuilan's forehead.
Liu Cuilan was beaten and scolded, she could only lower her head and bear it silently, not daring to fight back or dodge. Because, she knows, she is indeed doing something wrong.
At this moment, everyone gathered around, and one of them, an old lady in her forties, asked, "What's the matter, what are you arguing about?" ”
Xie Xiaofen replied: "She gave birth to another daughter, and our Yu family is going to die!" ”
"Oh! That's not going to work! Continuing the incense is the big deal! It didn't take long to give birth, did it? Then take it to Raven Mountain and throw it away! ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd responded.
"That's it! I've already taken it and thrown it away today, but I was picked up by this little slut again, and I'm really going to be angry! ”
"Cuilan......, this is your fault! Blessed is this, at least one son must be passed on to him. You are his daughter-in-law, and you have this responsibility. Work harder! ”
In the face of secular eyes, Yu Youfu, an intellectual, was speechless. He felt extremely lonely.
Because Yu Youfu's house was built on the side of the road, and he was the secretary of the town party committee, a few white characters were clearly painted on the wall of his house. These white words are: late marriage, late childbearing, fewer births, and eugenics.
"Fewer children, better children" is the slogan put forward by the government. No amount of education and guidance can change a heart that refuses to change. In everyone's eyes, this so-called life is to give birth to a boy, not a girl.
Yu Youfu was silent, thinking about how to educate this group of backward people.
At this time, the villagers began to talk again.
"Mom, you can't blame Cuilan, if you want to beat me, hit me!" Yu Youfu said and stood in front of Liu Cuilan.
"You ......" Xie Xiaofen was so angry that she didn't know what to do.
"Hey, tell me, such a cute child, what a pity to throw it away!" An old lady beside Yu Youfu looked at the child in Yu Youfu's arms and sighed.
Another person said, "That's no way!" The top didn't let more people have more children, so they could only throw her away! It's okay, it's okay, anyway, the female doll is not worth much, throw it away and wait for someone to read. ”
At this time, Yu Youfu said loudly: "Folks, female dolls are worthless, that is feudal thinking, we can no longer be as superstitious as the old society!" Now we advocate equality between men and women, girls and boys alike. If you think like this, how can this society make progress and achieve equality for all? Let's go to the hospital, and I will take this opportunity to convey my new ideas to you. ”
"Cuilan, let's go, go back to the house and rest." Yu Youfu said to Liu Cuilan.
At this time, Yu Youfu's neighbors only came to watch the excitement, not to listen to his tirade. Therefore, everyone was also happy to walk into the compound of Yu Youfu's family.
Xie Xiaofen gritted her teeth and glanced at her son. She is a great mother, in order to be able to leave a seed for her son, she began to look for how to convince her son in front of her who has a high culture.
At this time, Liu Cuilan's body was injured, and Yu Youfu should have taken good care of his daughter-in-law. However, in order to be able to change the old feudal mentality of his neighbors as soon as possible, he decided to put his wife and children aside first.
After Yu Youfu helped Liu Cuilan back to the house, he handed the child to Liu Cuilan and said to Liu Cuilan: "Cuilan, you take a rest first." I'll go get you medicine and wine so that Jing Jing can wipe your wounds for you, and then I'll go out first. ”
"Hmm!" Liu Cuilan nodded, and then put the child in her arms on the bed. In fact, how much Liu Cuilan wanted her husband's love and care at this time. But he knew the responsibility that his husband carried. Therefore, she did not ask her husband to stay and help and take care of herself. However, Liu Cuilan's contradictory thoughts were broken by her husband's simple words.
"Thank you! Cuilan. After Yu Youfu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.
It's because of a simple thank you. Liu Cuilan could feel Yu Youfu's helplessness and difficulty in choosing. She can understand her husband, if he chooses the people, he can't choose his family, and if he chooses his family, he can't choose the people, and he must choose one of the two.
Yu Youfu quickly walked into the room with the medicinal wine again. At this time, Yu Jingjing was standing beside Liu Cuilan in a daze and asked, "Mom, does it hurt?" ”
"Mommy doesn't hurt!"
In the eyes of all children, the mother is a goddess. She doesn't hurt, she doesn't get hungry, she doesn't feel thirsty, she doesn't feel bad.
Yu Youfu almost burst into tears, but he held back again. He opened the bottle of medicinal wine in his hand, then handed it to Yu Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, help your mother wipe it." Don't break the bottle. ”
Yu Jingjing looked up at Yu Youfu and asked, "Dad, Mom is injured, why don't you help Mom?" ”
Yu Youfu reached out and touched Yu Jingjing's head, pursed his lips and said, "Dad...... there are more important things." Jingjing must study hard in school in the future, and when she grows up in the future, she will benefit the society. ”
"Oh......"
When Yu Youfu walked into the courtyard, the neighbors were still in the courtyard. In this courtyard, there were already forty or fifty people, old and young, standing at this time.
Yu Youfu stood on the steps of his courtyard, opened his voice, and shouted:
"Folks, big brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters,
This is a new era, and our thinking can no longer be conservative! We need to understand and accept new cultures, new ideas! Although we are in a remote area, our thinking must also follow the city, and the conservative concept of preference for sons over daughters is not right! This man and woman are the same, except for the different genders. Girls can also read, study, and contribute to the country and the nation. Whether he gave birth to a boy or a girl, he should be left behind, not that if he gave birth to a girl, he should throw the girl away. Such acts are inhumane and cruel......
We should ......"
Yu Youfu's speech was quite vivid, and although most of them couldn't understand it, they still felt very reasonable.
At this moment, Xie Xiaofen suddenly ran in front of Yu Youfu. She stretched out her finger and pointed at Yu Youfu, bared her teeth and grinned angrily, "Okay...... All right! Your wings are stiff! My mother was fortunate enough to provide you to go to school in the city in those years, but you didn't listen to your mother when you learned culture, right? You're going to make the old lady angry to death, aren't you? ”
