Chapter 299: My Favorite Person (3)
Over the years, Zhao Xiaomei has gradually begun to help Zhao Guihua work.
As Zhao Xiaomei became more and more useful, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother changed their attitude towards Zhao Xiaomei, who grew up.
From turning a blind eye at the beginning, to not saying much every day except for letting Zhao Xiaomei work, it was like raising two long-term workers at home.
This year coincided with the beginning of universal compulsory education and the call for all children to go to school.
But because Zhao Guihua, who is now ten years old, has completely taken on the work of laundry, cooking, and housework in this family, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother both choose to forget this, because they can't lose Zhao Guihua as a laborer.
The parents of the Zhao family want to open it very much, anyway, their daughter will marry into someone else's family when she grows up, as long as she doesn't miscalculate the money, what do you do when you read so many books, you will read bad brains.
And Zhao Guihua couldn't rest assured that Zhao Xiaomei was at home with her parents alone, and she never took the initiative to mention studying to her parents, so the matter of going to school was delayed.
So, the family lived so peacefully.
It wasn't until one day that Zhao's mother got up in the morning and had nausea and retching, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that she was pregnant again.
This time, Zhao's mother carefully hid her belly, for fear that someone would find out that she was pregnant, because she felt that everyone around her was like a whistleblower.
Zhao's mother's idea is very good, the more dangerous the place, the safer, her figure is extremely petite, and her due date is in the depths of winter.
When the time comes, as long as she wears more clothes and goes out less, no one will naturally suspect that she is pregnant again.
Although the fine will be doubled for giving birth to three children, as long as she can give birth to a son, she will admit the fine no matter how much money she is.
Over the years, just because she has no son, she can't raise her head in her mother-in-law's family or even in the village, and she has long had enough days like this.
As for what to do if she has a daughter, Zhao's mother doesn't think about it at all, she must have a son who can carry on the family for herself.
At the same time, the parents of the Zhao family told the Zhao Guihua sisters that they would never tell the story of their big bellies.
Looking at the two sisters nodding obediently, Mother Zhao touched her little daughter's head for the first time and gave her a loving smile, which made Zhao Xiaomei very flattered.
In this way, with the efforts of the whole family of the old Zhao family, Zhao's mother's pregnancy was really hidden.
Until one day, when Zhao Xiaomei followed her sister up the mountain to hunt pigweed, she was pushed to the ground by several little boys, they not only stepped on the pigweed of the Zhao sisters, but also clapped their hands in a circle and called the sisters "dead girls from the head of the family".
Zhao Xiaomei was furious when she heard this, and suddenly rushed towards the little fat man led by him and pressed him down, shouting loudly: "We are not desperate, my mother is about to give birth to a younger brother!" ”
Zhao Guihua got up from the ground, and wanted to hold her sister's mouth but it was too late, she had clearly seen the adults watching the excitement in the distance, and the strange expressions on their faces after hearing this sentence.
Zhao Guihua only felt bad, so she ran home with her sister, she had to go back and inform her mother to run away, the eyes of these people were like they were going to eat them.
But her plan did not succeed, and she and Zhao Xiaomei were held in place by several adults before they could run a few steps.
When they were released home, they were greeted by a mess of the house that their mother had made when they were dragged away, and a punch and kick from their angry father.
Zhao Guihua had no way to resist her father's violence, so she could only use her small body to protect her more fragile sister.
Zhao's mother was released three days later, and at the same time brought back two pieces of news like a bolt from the blue: the first was that she was forcibly sterilized by doctors because she tried to challenge the authority of the staff because of her repeated teachings, and the second was that the seven-month-old child she was aborted from was really a boy.
Zhao's father was hit by these two news, and it seems that he can really only be a desperate person in his life.
Out of anger and unwillingness, the Zhao family and his wife vented all their resentment on the two sisters, and beat and scolded the two sisters every day, without any warmth at all.
Zhao Guihua and Zhao Xiaohua have injuries on their bodies every day, although Zhao Guihua tries her best to protect Zhao Xiaohua every time, but Zhao Xiaohua's personality is becoming quieter and quieter, and she doesn't even say a word for a few days in the later stage.
Finally, one morning when Zhao Guihua was twelve years old and Zhao Xiaohua was six years old, Zhao's mother had nausea again, because she found that she had been sterilized and was actually pregnant again.
Surprised, Zhao's mother began to inquire in private, but heard that because the hospital had to do a large number of ligation operations every day, the operation failed.
In some cases, the surgery did not work at all, and they became pregnant again.
And these pregnant people are once again dragged to the operating table, repeating the original pain.
Hearing this, Mother Zhao was stunned, she didn't expect that such a lucky thing would fall on her, and God would allow her to have such a chance to give birth to a son again.
After that, Zhao's mother found a reason to leave, she still remembers clearly how she didn't have a child last time, these neighbors in front of her who seemed to be friendly are actually not good people.
Zhao's mother suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and went home to discuss countermeasures with Zhao's father, and Zhao's father's willingness expressed in surprise was also very consistent with her, and they had to give birth to this son.
The couple lay on the bed and chattered about their pain and anxiety in the past ten years, and then hugged each other and cried for half a night, as if the child in Zhao's mother's belly had become the only reason for their survival.
Eventually, the two men, who had cried enough, finally got down to business, and they began to discuss where the two sisters would go.
When there are no sons, these two daughters are indeed very useful, they go up the mountain and go to the water, and even the people and poultry are well organized inside and outside the house, and occasionally when they are in a bad mood, they can also use these two sisters to spread their anger, these two people are like two hard-working punching bags.
But now the situation is completely different, they are about to have a son, and the two sisters have become a stumbling block, if the two sisters do not disappear, their son will be threatened at any time.
On top of that, if they already have two children, if they have one more child, their village will be overnumbered.
The workers will definitely tear down their house and evict the family from the village.
Therefore, in order to stay in the village, they had to dispose of their two daughters.
As for the fact that the child in the womb may be another girl, the couple never considered it.
