Chapter 1: Giving birth to a daughter
Late at night, the Lin Mansion was brightly lit.
Mrs. Lin is about to give birth.
In the inner courtyard, the midwives and girls were busy going in and out, and there was a lot of noise and chaos.
The eldest lady Lin Yingyue stood at the door of the bedroom, stretched her neck, and kept looking inside. She was nervous and hoped that her mother would give birth to a boy in this birth, otherwise ...... would make life difficult.
After all, she already has a younger sister.
If the mother still gives birth to a girl in this child, then ...... will have three daughters in a row.
Lin Yingyue turned her head slightly, looking at her grandmother Mrs. Lin who was sitting next to her and turning Buddha beads, her expression was tense, and there was a faint fierce color between her eyebrows, and the girls were so frightened that they didn't dare to pant for breath.
Grandmother is bent on seeking a man.
When her mother gave birth to her, her grandmother saw that it was her daughter, and she was so angry that she sneered. Later, my mother became pregnant again, and my grandmother was full of expectations, but my mother gave birth to a second sister, and my grandmother dropped something on the spot. It's just that my father is doing business outside all the year round, and my mother doesn't even have anyone to support him.
If this child is still a girl, the grandmother ......, but I'm afraid it won't be as simple as scolding and throwing things.
I heard that because my mother has never added a boy to the Lin family, my grandmother intends to give the girl Cuiqiao to my father to sleep. also promised that as long as Cui Qiao gave birth to a son, she would be named an aunt.
Lin Yingyue's eyebrows frowned slightly.
She doesn't want a concubine, let alone a younger sibling.
"Why hasn't the Li family been born yet?" Mrs. Lin looked distraught.
The girls comforted: "It should be soon." ”
Mrs. Lin stood up anxiously, took two steps, turned her head to see Lin Yingyue, and couldn't help but say, "What are you doing here?" Hurry back! ”
Lin Yingyue replied: "I'm worried about my mother, and I want to wait for her to give birth before sleeping." ”
"Just you?" Old Lady Lin sneered, "How can you help?" I'm worried about fart! ”
Lin Yingyue frowned when she heard her say rudely, "Anyway, I didn't make a mess." ”
Mrs. Lin was very upset when she looked at her granddaughter, she had never liked it, and she felt even more annoyed tonight, "Go and go!" The little girl is standing at the door of the delivery room, it's really unlucky! Don't infect your mother. ”
Lin Yingyue bit her lip.
Grandmother is an elder, and she can't talk back, so she can only hold her sulk in her heart.
Mrs. Lin said again: "I'm still waiting, hug a white fat grandson......"
"Wow, wow......" A baby cry sounded.
"It's raw!" Mrs. Lin stood up excitedly, and ran directly to the delivery room without the help of the girl, and asked urgently: "Is it a man or a woman?" Hold me over and let me see. ”
Lin Yingyue also followed.
The midwife lowered her head and stepped forward with an ugly face and replied: "If you go back to the old lady, it is ...... and a sister." ”
"Girl?!" Old Madam Lin suddenly became annoyed.
"Yes." The midwife was terrified.
"I don't believe it!" Mrs. Lin rushed into the delivery room angrily, took two steps in three steps, walked to the side of the bed, and reached out to untie the big red swaddling clothes. Then lift the baby's two calves, break them open and take a look, sure enough, ......, it is really a girl! Suddenly it was like a deflated ball, deflated.
Lin Yingyue's mother-in-law, Li, was born in a scholarly family, gentle, delicate, and introverted. usually teaches her daughter, but also to go to the road of dignified and generous, so her temperament is very demure.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was so vulgar, she didn't care about it and broke her sister's legs to look at men and women! It's just the style of a rural village woman, and I can't help but be stunned!
It's just that I can't argue with my grandmother at the moment, I'm worried about freezing my sister, and I hurriedly said: "Nurse!" Wrap up the swaddling clothes, don't freeze the third sister in the winter. ”
"Hey." The nurse hurriedly stepped forward to wrap herself in swaddling clothes.
"Hurry up." Lin Yingyue also stepped forward to help, wrapping up the swaddling clothes with all hands and feet.
Mrs. Lin has been looking forward to her grandson for more than a year, and now she is extremely disappointed, and her anger has not subsided, so she can't help but scold, "What baby? It's just a girl's film! Lose money! Waste our Lin family's silver in vain! ”
Because the sound was too loud, the little baby girl in the swaddling clothes cried, "Wow, wow, wow......"
Mrs. Lin was even more annoyed, and said, "Cry, cry, cry!" What do you cry about? Your mother isn't dead yet, is she mourning? What a dead star, broom spirit! ”
Li lay on the bed weakly, extremely aggrieved, and tears fell down in strings.
"Mother, don't cry." Lin Yingyue's heart was on fire.
Grandmother scolded her just now, and now she scolds the third sister, and she actually curses her mother for her early death?! What kind of bullshit mother-in-law is this? Is it still like an elder? The father was not at home, and the grandmother bullied their mother and daughter like this, which was too much.
Mrs. Lin scolded again, "The nickname is lost!" Annoying. ”
Lin Yingyue couldn't bear it anymore, and answered: "Grandmother, what you said is wrong. Even if the third sister is a girl, it is also the blood of her father and mother, and the blood of the Lin family flows, how can she be a mourning star and a broom essence? When you talk like this, aren't you scolding the entire Lin family? ”
Old Mrs. Lin's face turned red with anger, and she pointed, "You dare to talk back to me?" ”
Lin Yingyue let it go.
If she doesn't say a few words, she won't die of anger, and her mother will have to cry to death for sadness.
So he straightened his waist and said, "If the granddaughter has a wrong sentence, the grandmother points it out, and the granddaughter changes." "I don't believe it, and I can still find fault with it.
Mrs. Lin really can't make a mistake.
But ......, what is the problem of wanting to add sin? immediately scolded: "You are a junior, is it reasonable to talk back to your grandmother?" What's wrong with that? It is a great mistake to commit the following crimes without dignity! ”
Li was afraid that his daughter would be scolded, so he panicked, "Yingyue, hurry up and compensate your grandmother." ”
Lin Yingyue said coldly, "Okay, then go to my grandfather to comment!" ”
My grandfather was the most stern and old-fashioned, and he had a strong temperament. If you know that your grandmother is scolding her granddaughter, scolding her daughter-in-law, and cursing her daughter-in-law to death, she will definitely be furious.
After all, the grandmother didn't take care of it.
As soon as Mrs. Lin heard her granddaughter's words, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet angrily, "I'm too lazy to see you in general!" He shook his hand and walked out of the door, scolding outside: "Phew! A chicken that can't lay eggs can't even give birth to a son! How could Shi Zhao marry such a daughter-in-law, it was really a blood mold that had poured eight lifetimes! ”
scolded all the way and walked away.
Lin Yingyue gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't catch up and scold. As for going to her grandfather to complain, her grandmother was certainly at fault, and she, a granddaughter, sued her elders, and she would not be left behind, so she could only hold back.
When I looked back again, I saw Li crying in bed, and he couldn't leave.
Lin Yingyue stepped forward and persuaded: "Mother, don't cry. ”
The girls also advised, "Mrs., you can't cry during the confinement, if you fall ill in the future, you will be in trouble." ”
Li Shi still cried and choked up: "I ......, I am really a sinner of the Lin family." gave birth to one daughter, two daughters, and the third daughter, and the old lady was angry......"
"Mother!" Lin Yingyue didn't like it when she heard this, and argued: "What's wrong with my daughter? My daughter is also a human being! If there are no women in this world, where are the children? Grandmother, she is also a daughter. ”
Li choked up and said, "But your grandmother gave birth to your father, your third uncle and fifth uncle, three sons." ”
Lin Yingyue pursed her lips, "That grandmother also gave birth to three daughters, the second aunt, the fourth aunt and the sixth aunt." Mother, you are still young, even if my second sister and I are girls, we can have another brother in the future. ”
"yes." The nurse followed and persuaded: "It is common to bloom first and then bear fruit." As long as the wife is well-raised, when the old man comes back from doing business in the north, the husband and wife will be in love, and sooner or later the little master will be reborn. ”
Lin Yingyue changed the topic, "Mother, look at how cute the third sister is." ”
Li was really attracted by his little daughter's attention, held back his tears, and beckoned: "Quickly bring my sister over and let me take a look." Pitiful, he was scolded as soon as he landed, and he was also a person who would not be reincarnated. ”
The nurse brought the swaddling baby over.
Lin Yingyue stepped forward and looked at the newborn third sister carefully.
The baby girl in swaddling clothes had wrinkled skin, slightly reddened, and her hair was also sparse, looking very thin. Because I cried for a while, I was tired of crying, and my voice became thin, like a kitten barking, which was really pitiful.
"My poor son." When Li saw it, he couldn't help but cry again.
Seeing this, Lin Yingyue persuaded: "Mother, you are very weak after giving birth, so let's rest first, don't think about it." Afraid that she would continue to be sad, she instructed the nurse, "You go and take the third sister away first, and the milk is full, and sleep for a while." ”
"Okay." The nurse went to the warm pavilion with the swaddling clothes in her arms.
Li Shi looked at the eldest daughter who was young and precocious, ironing and sadness, "Yingyue, fortunately, you are sensible and considerate, how much can you help your mother a little bit, and explain a few words." Otherwise, my mother really doesn't know how to live her life. ”
Lin Yingyue took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Mother, listen to some words as the wind in your ears, don't take it to heart." Now that Dad hasn't come back, you're crying out a jar of tears, it's useless, and you're ruining your body in vain. ”
"I know." Li choked.
"Sleep." Lin Yingyue stepped forward and tucked the quilt and put down the bed tent, "You are so resting, I'll go next door to see the third sister, and then take a look at the second sister, and then go to sleep." If there's something to do, call me, I'll be fine if I'm idle anyway. ”
"Hmm." Lee's birth was not smooth, it was a day and a night, and now he is really tired. I didn't have the strength to think about my mother-in-law's vicious words, and as soon as my spirit was relaxed, I fell asleep.
Lin Yingyue was also a little tired, so she went to the warm pavilion to see the third sister, and saw that she was fine, so she went to bed.
She lay flat and looked at the bed tent embroidered with magnolia flowers.
Thinking of Li praising her for being young and sensible just now, she couldn't help but smile slightly. It's not that she's really precocious, it's that she has the soul of an adult, not really a six-year-old girl.
Ten years ago, Lin Yingyue, who fell into the water that winter, had died.
Lin Yingyue sighed softly.
Ten years, she has been in the Lin family for ten years.
From the beginning of not accepting and unwilling, to gradually getting used to it, getting used to the gentleness and cowardice of the mother-in-law Li, and the delicate attitude of the second sister, she unconsciously became a member of the Lin family.
Lin Yingyue smiled, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
