Until the early hours of April 20, a loud child's cry of 'wow' relieved everyone.

Yu Cai held his last breath and asked the midwife, "Male or female?" ”

The midwife didn't say anything, just shook her head, indicating that it was not a boy, this is their custom here, and if it was a boy, there would definitely be all kinds of congratulatory voices. If it was a girl, she could only shake her head helplessly.

Yu Cai's eyes suddenly darkened, she felt that her future life might be as infinitely dark as the black in front of her, and her last words before falling asleep unconsciously were, "Why is it a girl?" ”

When Fang Jian's mother saw that the child she gave birth was a girl, her face, which was still looking forward to it, froze like water in an instant, and she was indifferent, as if the child was not her granddaughter, she sat down on the edge of the kang and didn't say a word.

After the midwife washed the child and put it on the kang, she didn't have time to clean up her messy hair, walked out of the door and looked at Fang Jian, but she didn't dare to mention the delivery money, after all, it was a girl who delivered a baby.

The midwife smiled awkwardly, "Fang is in charge, congratulations, then our three sisters will go back first." ”

Fang Jian, who heard the child's crying, wanted to go in, but the midwife said during the day that he would not let him in, so he kept holding back the impulse in his heart and waited outside the door, and finally waited for the midwife to come out, "Granny Wang, is my woman giving birth to a son?" ”

The midwife looked embarrassed, "Fang is in charge, whether it is a man or a woman, it is all given to you by God, all right." It's not too early, so let's go back first. With that, the midwife disappeared with a puff of smoke from the other two mothers-in-law.

Fang Jian listened to the midwife's words, and chuckled in his heart: Why did this mother-in-law's words sound wrong? Did you give birth to a girl? No, no, the fairy grandmother said she would ask for a son for me.

Fang Jian rushed directly into the house with full suspicion, under the dim light, the small room was a mess, and the water on the ground reflected the shadow of light. Yu Cai was lying on the kang as in the morning, and there was a small thing wrapped up next to her, which should be his child.

Fang Jian looked again, and saw his mother sitting on the side of the kang without any expression on her face.

Fang Jian looked at her mother with a smile on her face, "Mom, son or daughter?" ”

Fang Jian's mother raised her eyes and glared at Fang Jian when she heard the voice, "If you don't fight for it, you still have a money-losing product in the end." ”

Fang Jian instantly felt like he had been struck by lightning, he fell to the ground, the water under his ass soaked his pants and sent a cool feeling to the bottom of his heart, he didn't know what words to use to express his mood now.

Fang Jian raised his eyes and looked at his mother again, his mother's eyes were disgusted, not only disgusted by him, but also disgusted by Yu Cai, and even more disgusted by his newborn child. If it weren't for her mother's tiredness, she would have gone back a long time ago, no, she was afraid of facing her father.

Fang Jian looked at Yu Cai and the small thing lying on the kang again, he was obviously still happy when he came in just now, but he didn't know if he was infected by his mother at this time, his eyes were full of disgust, disgusted Yu Cai didn't know that Entu gave birth to a male baby, and disgusted that small thing was his daughter first, not his son.

Such a picture was frozen, if it weren't for that dazzling spring morning light, if it weren't for the cry of that little thing, Yu Cai wouldn't wake up, and Fang Jian wouldn't feel his body numb.

Yu Cai carried the child to herself, and the crumpled little thing had been in her stomach for so long, and this little thing was the meat that had fallen from her body.

There was an emotion called maternal love emanating from Yu Cai's heart, but before Yu Cai stepped forward to pick up the child, Fang Jian's mother's voice pulled her back to reality.

"It's really unlucky, I don't know what I did wrong in my last life, I married such a daughter-in-law in this life, not to mention, after looking at my belly for more than half a year, I finally gave birth to a money-losing product." As he spoke, Fang Jian's mother jumped off the edge of the kang, stood on the ground, patted the clothes on her body, as if she wanted to pat off the bad luck, and then walked out of the house without looking at it, and went straight home.

The child on the kang was still crying, Yu Cai's hand stopped in mid-air, she couldn't hug it, she didn't hug it. In such a entanglement, she secretly glanced at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian was still sitting on the ground, the numbness in his legs and thoughts was conscious, and it was accompanied by pain. He didn't want to get up and face it, and he didn't want to believe why he had worked hard for so long in the end in exchange for a girl.

"Boss." In the sound of the child's crying, Yu Cai tentatively called Fang Jian.

Fang Jian raised his eyes expressionlessly and looked at Yu Cai, he couldn't say words of comfort, he tried to prop himself up, and then didn't look at Yu Cai and the child, and limped out of the house, perhaps, only in this way did he not have to face reality.

The child's unstoppable crying made Yu Cai have no extra thoughts to explore Fang Jian and her mother-in-law's thoughts, and she picked up the child.

After tasting the mother's milk, the distressed child was quiet, looking at the world in front of her through the gap, and also at the strange woman in front of her, and she seemed to think that her happy life was about to begin at this moment.

In the past few days since the child was born, Fang Jian did not talk to Yu Cai, and Fang Jian did not enter the main house, but slept on the small kang in the side room for a few nights, and disappeared at dawn.

In the past few days since the child was born, Yu Cai's parents came to see, although their daughter has been running home since she got married, and then the old couple didn't plan to care, but after all, it was their own daughter who gave birth to a child, even if they didn't look at family affection, they also had to look at the world, and they didn't want the people in the village to say that their daughter had a baby, and their biological parents didn't come to take a look.

Yu Cai's mother asked Yu Cai a few words, and Yu Cai should bear it, she and her mother have not had much self-consideration since they were children, and after getting married, her mother's attitude towards her made her even more estranged from her mother.

Yu Cai's father just sat at the table and looked at Yu Cai and the child in her arms from a distance, and after putting the ten yuan on the table, he didn't say a word until he left.

When the people in the village heard that Yu Cai had given birth to a child, they all came to visit Yu Cai in groups. Every time, Yu Cai was at home alone, and Fang Jian couldn't be seen.

In the congratulatory voices of the villagers, Yu Cai could hear the schadenfreude and dislike for the girl Yu Cai had just born.

At night, when those visitors with false masks left, when Fang Jian's snoring came from the side room, Yu Cai would look at the sleeping little thing next to him, imagining what he looked like when he was a child, whether he also suffered such dislike at that time, so his parents did not treat him so badly.

Yu Cai thought about what happened to him, so he secretly swore to himself: Even if everyone dislikes you, the mother will protect you.

Such an idea underwent a subtle change after Qi Qin came to see Yu Cai on the second day.

On the second day, Qi Qin took his two-and-a-half-year-old eldest who was walking around, holding his six-month-old second child in his arms, sitting on the edge of the kang with a smile on his face, and his eyes secretly glanced at Yu Cai's newborn daughter.

"You are really agreeable, and you gave birth to a caring girl for yourself, unlike me who gave birth to two sons." The envy on Qi Qin's lips didn't show anything, but when she said that she had given birth to two sons, she looked back and forth with a proud face at the two sons running on the ground and the two sons in her arms.

Qi Qin's face smug stinged Yu Cai, Yu Cai could only lower her head and smile dryly, I don't know if it was a change in mentality, or because of other reasons, she wanted to get real comfort from these so-called friends for her daughter, but these people always made her feel uncomfortable, and even felt that their words made Yu Cai feel that it was a sharp blade, piercing her heart again and again.

Seeing Yu Cai like this, Qi Qin's pride in her heart was naturally even worse, "I said good things, why do you keep your head down." ”

Yu Cai could only raise his eyes and look at Qi Qin, "No, my sister is from here, so naturally everything she says is right." ”

"What people come over can't come to people, it seems like how old I am, we are not a few days apart in age, I will only get married three or four years earlier than you at most, and I will have two more sons than you, so I naturally know more about the hardships of bringing sons than you." After Qi Qin finished speaking, he didn't forget to use laughter to hide his blatant show-off, "Hehe... Look at my mouth, you gave birth to a girl, so naturally it is better than me to give birth to a son, after all, the girl's family doesn't have so many things. ”

After listening to what Qi Qin said, Yu Cai knew that Qi Qin was saying the same things as usual, even the tone of her speech did not change much, she looked like an eldest sister, she looked like she was good at everything and worth showing off. But Yu Cai didn't know why, at the moment when she had just given birth to a child and was a girl, those words were like a mountain pressing her down the mountain, making her feel unable to breathe.

Qi Qin's words, for Yu Cai, are not only because of the word about her son that she emphasized again and again, but also others, those pasts that Yu Cai has never wanted to touch, those past and present are like nightmares in Yu Cai's thoughts again and again.

Yu Cai didn't respond to a word, but his face became more and more pale from after Qi Qin finished speaking just now, which made Qi Qin, who was originally full of smiles, freeze instantly, thinking: What is this girl, she just told a few words of truth...

As if thinking of something, Qi Qin pushed Yu Cai, "Yu Cai, you are saying something." ”

"Ah~ What's wrong with me?" Yu Cai struggled out of the pain, she pulled out a smile, "Sister, I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired after giving birth, and maybe I haven't adapted to the reality that I've become a mother." ”

As soon as Qi Qin heard Yu Cai's words, she naturally thought that Yu Cai was really fine, "You scared me, your face turned pale just now, I thought something was wrong with you." Giving birth to a child is certainly tiring, but what is it to adapt to the identity of a mother, you look at me, I am both..."The son behind Qi Qin stopped talking before she could say it, she peeked at Yu Cai's expression, and seemed to be still in a trance, she should be very concerned that she gave birth to a girl. So Qi Qin immediately changed her words, after all, in her opinion, she and Yu Cai grew up together, and they are both women, why should women embarrass women, "I have two children, and after a long time, I will get used to them." ”

After speaking, Qi Qin took Yu Cai's hand and patted it a few times, "But Yu Cai, listen to my sister's advice, when you can give birth, you must have more children, and it is best to have more sons." You know, in our place, having a son is the right master. Although the daughter is a caring little padded jacket for her mother when she grows up, she is a money-loser. Qi Qin's eyes involuntarily glanced at Yu Cai's newborn daughter, "Take care of your body and continue to work hard." ”

Qi Qin didn't stay any longer, and after a few more greetings, he left.
