Seeing the worry and sadness on Ma Cuihua's face, Wang Jinlian smiled proudly at that time.

That's what she's like.

Every time she sees someone who wins a man smoothly and smoothly, she feels unhappy in her heart.

Because when she was back then, in order to have more sons, she did her best!

At that time, every time she gave birth to a daughter, or when she learned that the child in her womb was actually a girl, she would try her best to kill her.

Wang Jinlian killed at least seven or eight daughters by herself.

She felt that as a mother, she didn't want to be like this.

The reason why she is like this is that she was forced by others.

The atmosphere of this place has always been like this. Patriarchal. After the woman is born, no one will take her seriously.

All peasants are calculating. Because the peasants who can't calculate have long been starved to death, and their lives have long been unbearable.

Many farmers, who count all day long, live with the food at home. How many catties of grain can be eaten by their family today, and how many catties of grain can be eaten by their family tomorrow, they can calculate clearly.

They are so good at settling accounts, and they are more shrewd and snobbish in terms of giving birth to boys or girls.

That's what all the farmers think.

In his own family, as long as he gives birth to a male baby, and gives birth to a few more male babies, then, when the male baby grows up, he can directly marry the daughter who has been raised by someone else's family for more than 10 years with only a small amount of money.

It's a good deal.

After all, after his son marries someone else's daughter, it is equivalent to his own family directly buying out the second half of that girl's life.

The daughter-in-law married into the door, and the family directly added a labor force. And this labor force can also give a steady stream of sons to their own families.

In this way, won't the power of his family become stronger?

And if someone else's family loses a labor force, won't the other party directly lose?

All farmers do not want to suffer this loss.

All farmers don't want to work hard for more than 10 years to help others raise their daughters. Give someone a sturdy workforce that can give birth to a son.

Therefore, many people who don't want to suffer this big loss, as long as there is a girl in the family, they will directly kill that girl.

That's what the family thought. That's what every household thinks.

So, over time, there were more men and fewer women in this place.

……

Of course, many people like double standards.

They can go around and kill their daughters, but they just don't want other people's families to beat girls and kill them.

Because that's what these people think.

It's other people's families who have killed their daughters, so when their sons grow up, whose daughters will they marry as wives? !

As a result, there is a huge contradiction of interests between them.

I don't want to have a daughter, but I hope that other people's families will not have sons, but only daughters.

That's what everybody thinks.

Therefore, there are very few families who really have daughters.

As a result, the bride price went up.

Many families who can't afford to marry a wife start scolding loudly when they see the high bride price.

"You're selling your daughter!"

"How can you be such a parent?"

"When you married your daughter, did you think about it for the man? It's not easy for us to raise a son! Our adopted son, who grew up drinking the northwest wind? ……”

Even if these families with sons are messing around, those parents who have raised daughters still want their daughters to find rich people to marry.

Looking for poor and poor men, those women will not have a good life.

Because after marrying this kind of man, they have endless housework every day, endless sons, and endless beatings and scolding.

They also have to be filial to their in-laws at home.

Life and death, honor and disgrace are all tied to all the people in the in-laws' family.

If you can't give birth to your own man. Born to be an unseeded one. Such a poor daughter-in-law has to be forced by her parents-in-law and other men to borrow seeds from other men in the family.

Just thinking about such a thing makes me feel cruel.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is the way of nature.

Those who disobey the way of nature are punished by heaven. It comes at a huge cost.

Therefore, in this poor and backward rural area, many men have to be beaten for life after they are born.

Therefore, Wu Erhu, who has two wives, naturally becomes the object of jealousy of other men.

Although they are all in the same family.

Wu Dahu, Wu Erhu, Wu Sanhu, are still brothers born from the same mother.

However, as long as Wu Dahu and Wu Sanhu thought in their hearts that their brother could easily get two wives, they felt very unhappy in their hearts.

After all, they're men too!

This man and man actually like to compare the most.

Because they really love face.

How much money does he earn today? What kind of clothes are you wearing? How about getting around? What about the food? Are you having a good time?

They will all be secretly and quietly making comparisons.

Wu Erhu now has two wives.

Moreover, this second wife was about to give birth to a child for him, and Wu Dahu, who was very unhappy in his heart, whispered to his daughter-in-law at night.

"Jin Lian, why do you say that my second brother has such good luck?"

The second brother and sister bore him seven children, four boys and three girls, all of whom were well raised. Now this surnamed Ma is suddenly pregnant again. In the future, their family will definitely add Ding. In this way, our family seems to have suffered a loss. After all, there are only five people in our family. I have you and three sons. Compared to their family of twelve, we usually eat half as much as theirs......"

Hearing her man say this, Wang Jinlian knew the seriousness of the matter at that time.

Oh, yes!

The boss is right!

There are only 5 people in his family, and the second brother's family now has more than 10 people, and they will have children in the future, so ...... In this way, your own family will really suffer!

Moreover, it is still a big loss.

For all the food and clothing they now have are made in the public.

The things from the parents-in-law are nominally the two of them, but in fact they belong to the whole family.

Or to put it another way, most of the things they have in their hands are meant to be passed on to her man.

After all, her man is the eldest son in the family!

As a result, Wang Jinlian didn't even sleep at night. She sat up from the bed.

With a nervous face, he grabbed Wu Dahu's arm and said, "Master, what do you think we should do now?" ”

"Look at me going fishing every day, doing so much work, and you are at my father-in-law's place, helping all the time. You said that we lived so hard, didn't we do it for the second and third families? ”
