Chapter 30: Divorce her
It was easy to get home, Meng Yao held her stomach and lowered her head and hurried into the yard, and the old hens tilted their heads to look at her, as if asking what was going on. The old woman saw her through the glass window, and she didn't mean to come out to see the child at all.
Just look at her and get flatulent.
She is a junior, why should I, the eldest woman, be far away? If she is reasonable, even if she has a big belly, she should be generous enough to come to my room to say hello first. Hum! Since you didn't take me as an old man, don't blame me for being unreasonable.
She had just finished burning incense, and this time she prayed - if this child is a female fetus, let the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals severely punish the lower realm.
The old woman listened depressedly as she entered the outhouse, and then entered the westhouse, and her heart slowly rose and shrouded in gloom. I haven't been too lazy to bother with her these days, so I will show my demeanor and compassion first, and let her go. So three meals a day, for the time being, coarse tea and light rice are not loud.
Mengyao saw that on the stickers on the four walls, the baby boy posed in various poses as a hero. I haven't been stimulated for a long time, and this sudden dark cloud pressed down, my liver trembled a little, and my chest was blocked, and I was extremely uncomfortable.
Sitting on the eaves of the kang and stroking the pregnant belly.
Thinking about the failure of her first two births and so many pictures of baby boys, she was dizzy and ringing in her ears and extremely lost.
Every day I look out the window and am silent.
Only the sound of the wind blowing the curtain, and the occasional light and shadow under the eaves, it turned out that the swallow of the neighbor had returned and found the wrong nest.
The spring rain was like a sorrowful thread, and in a blink of an eye, it began to rain again.
The light rain spread in circles under the eaves, and the peach trees in the distance were moistened, faintly showing tender red buds. On the streets, people walking in the rain are shrouded in mist, and if you don't use an umbrella, your hair and eyebrows can be dyed white in a few moments.
A week later, at 10 o'clock in the evening, Westinghouse began to toss again.
The old woman didn't want to see it, and she didn't want to see it, so she hid behind the door of the east house, burned incense and prayed to the Buddha and prayed to the boy, and she reverently chanted in her mouth.
I've already fallen asleep.
Since the fight was picked up by the shovel once, he has always been very sleepy when he woke up. At this moment, her little red mouth was moist and pouted, and she seemed to be breastfeeding. The long, dark eyelashes, which cover the watery cheeks, are beautiful and impatient before they have even grown.
The smell of plants and trees and the shouting of Westinghouse ...... was disturbed, and after "humming" twice, he turned over and fell asleep immediately.
The old woman was talking about the boy and the boy in her heart, and suddenly she heard the cry of "Erla-la-la" from the West House, and the broom star also stopped shouting. The old woman immediately stood up, moved half a big foot and ran over quickly, and lifted the door curtain, "Male and female?" ”
She asked anxiously.
At this moment, Erxi was leaning over the kang, carefully looking at the child between Mengyao's long legs, and then he didn't move or care, so he got off the kang directly. Hung his head at the old woman: "It's really unlucky, it's a woman again." ”
When the old woman heard this, her body stiffened, and she was about to sit on the ground in an instant, but fortunately she held on to the bench and was stunned for a long time before she hid her face and cried.
"Ah, a shameful thing, why is it so uncompetitive, the big belly has begged his mother's family to beg his mother-in-law's family, but I never expected it, I didn't expect it to be a girl again, and I lost this old face in a circle!" At this point, her withered fingers covered her desperate old face, and her body rose and fell with it, as helpless and desperate as her husband who had just died.
Suddenly, the hand was torn off, and he stopped wailing for a moment.
Pointing to the kang: "This broom star, broom star, Erxi, you give me a divorce with her, don't want this harmful spirit, divorce her, divorce her." Then he slapped his thigh in despair, "Ahh
I don't know how long it took, and she didn't bother to wipe her snot for more than a foot, when she suddenly turned around and came to the outhouse, sat on the ground and slapped her thighs, and began to howl to the sky.
Erxi drooped his head, and his face was half crying and not smiling, which was also full of despair.
Suddenly, he climbed back onto the kang.
picked up the broom Gada, and began to beat the fainting Mengyao, but the wall of his house was too short, and the black shadow of the broom Gada on the kang to beat people happened to be seen by the big joy who went home, and the black shadow was whipped violently, and countless broom seedlings were splashed around.
The legs kept rising and falling, as if they were kicking something.
The foothold of one after another is so powerful and so real. And it was accompanied by the cry of the mother not far away, the voice was terrible and procrastinating, soaked with sorrow and despair.
"What's going on? Could it be so unfortunate that she gave birth to a baby girl again? Daxi leisurely looked at the big black shadow on the mountain in front of him and the back room, puzzled.
The old woman saw that Erxi, who had been howling just now, was tired of kicking and tired, so she went back to the east house to get a toothpick, and stabbed Mengyao's palms, hands, and thighs at the thick parts of Mengyao's bare flesh. But the stabbing was fierce for a long time, and the light seeped blood, and Mengyao didn't struggle as if he was dead.
When the old woman saw it, she suddenly felt bored.
So he got up, threw the bloodstained toothpick, and got up and went back to the East House. She sat in front of the Buddha shrine, neither praying nor burning incense, but was stunned.
I had no sleep all night, the rooster crowed three times, and Erxijia was depressed all night with the lights on. The child was on the side, and no one cared about the umbilical cord dragging it, she opened her small mouth, crying and causing a lack of oxygen to the brain.
I am happy to work outside the bread, and I will go home for the first Spring Festival, and I will leave in the next few days. Early in the morning, before the sky was completely bright, he came to knock on the door of Erxi's house again.
Erxi came out to open the door.
Daxi heard his mother's hoarse cry, which seemed to come from the outhouse, so he whispered a few words to Erxi at the fence in the courtyard. Erxi's face was extremely serious and sad, and finally he was obviously resolute and helpless.
"It's up to you." Erxi had a black and purple face, and his head drooped with a failed look.
People are happy that it has been smooth sailing for so many years.
Although he didn't read much, he was a contractor for so many years, he worked vigorously and resolutely, saying that things were reasonable, well-founded, and discerning, not only being skilled, but also keeping up with the national situation, and winning the respect of many people. The people were overjoyed and gave birth to two sons in succession, and the eldest son gave birth to sons at once. And I, I, lost face, and there were tears in my eyes.
It's really more popular than people.
Erxi Peng bowed to his heart, turned around and went back to the outhouse. As soon as he lifted the curtain to the West House, he cut the child's umbilical cord, wrapped a simple old quilt and ran out, ignoring her crying, and quickly walked to the courtyard.
After a while.
It was the short man from last time, with his face covered tightly, and took out 1,500 yuan from his arms. A pile of sturdy knots, Erxi took it and quickly carried it in his arms.
Loosen the little quilt.
Although he didn't know what the other party was doing to have a child, he firmly believed that it should not be an organ cut, at most it should be adopted by a childless family. He didn't think much about it, the next step was to take the money and quickly take care of his body, just like Daxi persuaded him, don't ink and don't waste time and emotion, hurry up and give birth to one.
Looking forward to the next one, it must be a male fetus.
When the day dawned, Meng Yao woke up, her lower body was covered with blood, her whole body was very painful, and some places were blue and purple, and her cheeks were also bruised. There are countless blood-colored spots on the palms of the hands, as well as on the thighs, which are also densely covered with purple spots.
Am I having a rash?
Her eyelashes lifted slightly, and she turned her head to look to the side again, but there was no hot child. She was suddenly stunned, and suddenly realized something, and her eyes turned from countless broken rays to a quiet, moonlit ocean under the light.
Could it be that this baby is a baby girl again?
How is it again? Could it be that I didn't have the life to give birth to a boy? God just punished me like that? She has learned to be obedient this time, what qualifications does the person who has committed a crime have to pay attention? She didn't ask around anymore, she didn't look for it anymore, she had no choice but to cry.
yes, in this world.
The only thing I can dominate is tears, cry when I want to cry, although there have not been too many tears for a long time, although no one has ever coaxed ...... But after the sobbing and howling, there is a long silence instead of a blockage.
Otherwise, who will accompany and coax you when you are depressed? Who evacuated the wisps for themselves? Now, I can only coax myself and cry to slowly remove the stains and clumps blocked in the holes. Maybe before giving birth to a baby, crying can still be coaxed to be cared about, but after that, it is a daily sadness and panic to this day.
That's true.
In the days when she was newly married for more than a year, she was bathed in the spring breeze every day, and she would be woken up by laughter in her dreams, how could she be sentimental and crying? Hey, I blame myself for my little blessing, so soon, the blessing will be enjoyed, and it will be no longer attractive, and it will no longer be fragrant and sweet. Think about how you should face the long future life of decades?
Why do people live so long?
Think about my mother-in-law's age in her 70s, still dominating the family, think about my 20s, when will I be able to build up that long 5 or 60 years? What's more, time is broken up into small minutes and seconds, and it is not easy to have a good time in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Looking at the pictures on the wall, the boy smiled so purely, and the fat legs were still open. She was like a fish in her throat, and she closed her eyes in pain. If you swallow a fly alive in broad daylight, you are nauseous but you can't vomit.
Erxi also saw that Mengyao was not at all promising, too lazy to watch, so she didn't want to nest at home, the day after she gave birth to a baby girl, the spring was cold, so she followed Daxi to go outside to work part-time.
This time, the short-term workers are in Langfang, and every time the salary is paid, Erxi will come to visit the old lady at home.
The old lady burns incense and worships the Buddha all day long, and then there is a huge task, which is to repair Mengyao. This stupid and stupid thing has to be whipped in the calf dozens of times a day because she always makes mistakes. Let the left foot step first, but it is always bad feng shui and luck, the big stupid fork that has no brain, which one is not divided, which one is not the one, how to do it, arbitrarily horizontal, there is no rule and etiquette at all.
This evening.
Erxi returned home with a newly opened salary of 2,000 yuan, which he had accumulated for a long time, and the old woman still held the financial power. Since Mengyao repeatedly counted the 800 yuan in front of her fellow villagers and committed a big taboo, she has never been allowed to touch the money, and she has long had that meaning.
After the excuse, it became true that the boat was pushed along the water.
recalled that when she fell in love in the past, she had no money, and she actually threw two steel plates in the beggar basin in the subway station, and at that time he had already concluded that she had no heart and no clear brain, not the material for life, and she had to correct the problem of this poor hand.
Now I have been observing and training for many years, and I am completely disappointed.
Thinking of this, Erxi secretly admired his vision and wisdom and transparency back then.
"Mom, give you the money!"
The old woman took a wad of money with trembling hands and sighed. She lamented that she married a pit daughter-in-law 250, and she couldn't spare her life, and she always thought about the bottomless pit poor mother's family, and she was a thief.
With old arms and legs, how can you do it if you don't support your family?
No matter what, she can't count on that cheat, she has a bad heart and a bad style, and she is not qualified to be in charge at all. But I'm already in my 70s, and how many days do I have left?
"Hey!"
The old woman darkened her face, stuffed the money into the inner pocket of the padded jacket, and sighed again.
Erxi entered the Westinghouse.
Seeing Meng Yao sitting on the eaves of the kang in a daze, after a month of relieving his body, he seemed to have recovered a lot, and his face became ruddy. Erxi found that the sleeves of her sweater had been torn a large piece, and they were plugged with cotton cloth of similar color, which looked very uncomfortable.
And one day, I also heard some gossip. The shameless rappers at the entrance of the village often pointed at Erxi, saying that he abused his daughter-in-law.
When he heard this, he hurried forward to theorize.
