When the magic stick summons cute pets

Ye Changsheng's eyes flicked from the old lady's face, and then stopped on the young woman.The woman's belly is already very big, and it is about the month when she is about to give birth.When she sat down, she needed to spread her legs, move them down slowly, and then supported her waist with her hands, which seemed to be quite hard work.

Of course, he heard the argument between the two before, but he didn't show anything, he just raised his eyes and smiled at her and asked, "I don't know what you two want? "

The young woman raised her head and glanced at Ye Changsheng, her complexion was a little pale, and the hand supporting her lower back wiped the hem of her clothes a little uneasily, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Just... ... Calculate..."

The woman hesitated, and when she spoke, she unconsciously glanced in the direction of the old lady from the corner of her eyes, her voice still sounded a little reluctant.

The old lady Li next to her saw that she was so awkward and couldn't finish a sentence for a long time, so she couldn't help frowning, and patted her on the back very dissatisfied.He lowered his head and scolded her in a low voice, and then smiled at Ye Changsheng instead of her and said, "Tianshi, it's like this, we just want to figure out whether the baby in my girl's belly is a boy or not! "

As soon as the old lady Li finished speaking, before Ye Changsheng could reply, the young woman on the other end suddenly stood up holding her belly.

She stood there for a while, all the facial features on her face were tangled together, she looked at the old lady and said beggingly: "Mom, don't forget it, what can I do if I forget it? I'll be there in a few days It's the due date, if I tell you now that I'm pregnant with a daughter, can you still let me throw the baby away?"

Mrs. Li didn't speak immediately, but just turned her head and glared at her, as if she was blaming her daughter for her ignorance: "Bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't talk about daughters and daughters all day long, let people listen to you." How unlucky it feels!"

She touched the woman's protruding belly, with a smile on her face: "Look at your belly, it's small and pointed, it's exactly the same as when I was pregnant with your brother. Look at it, it's not a loss of money." The picture of the goods!"

The woman was anxious again, she said: "Then if you really think that's the case, why bother? Anyway, the gender won't change in these few days, won't we know by then?"

Mrs. Li was a little angry: "What's the matter with you, kid? I just want to tell my grandson a fortune, but you just want to screw with me, don't you?"

He forcefully pressed her back to sit on the stool, nodded and bowed to Ye Changsheng and apologized with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I let the celestial master see the joke. This is the first time my girl is pregnant. She is young. I'm not sensible yet!" He got closer again, and lowered his voice, "However, can a celestial master calculate the gender of this doll?"

Ye Changsheng smiled slightly. He didn't answer immediately, but just looked at the young woman and asked, "What's the name of this young lady?"

The woman glanced at him and was silent for a while, but the old lady beside her looked too eagerly, and then she could only say in a low voice, "Xu Zhaodi."

Hearing the name, Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered for a moment, then he nodded, then pushed the pen and paper towards the young woman, and said, "Then Miss Xu, let's write something on the paper first."

Xu Zhaodi bit her lip, and seemed to be hesitant, but after sitting for a while, she couldn't resist the urging of the old lady beside her, so she reached out and took a pen and wrote a crooked word "good" on the paper, and then handed the pen and paper back go back.

Ye Changsheng lowered his eyes and casually glanced at the words she wrote on the paper, then smiled at her and said: "There are sons and daughters, it seems that Miss Xu wants to have both sons and daughters."

Xu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Changsheng's words, then reached out to touch his stomach and said softly: "I really think so."

As soon as she said this, the old lady Li next to her was not very happy: "What nonsense are you talking about! Raising a child these days is not like our time, just give you a bite to eat. How hard it is now! "

She babbled: "You are not very old when you are just born. Now those children have to learn this and that. If they want to be sent to study in the city, the tuition fee for one month will kill them!" "If you have a son for the first child, you will have to pay a fine if you raise the second child. What do you want to have both children? What's the point of raising someone who loses money? One son is enough!"

As soon as Mrs. Li's words came out, Xu Zhaodi's eyes, who had already softened a little, dimmed again.Her hand touching her belly froze slightly. She raised her head as if she wanted to say something, but some words had already reached her mouth, and she finally swallowed them forcefully.

It's just that she fell silent, and the old lady Li who was next to her immediately replaced her, and continued to chat with Ye Changsheng endlessly: "Master Tian, ​​what is this child—"

Ye Changsheng tapped the word "good" on the paper with his finger, and said: "Miss Xu's character is female-oriented, and the sub-character is pressed on top of it. The latter suppresses the former's fate by more than half. ..." He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, both of you, if there are no accidents, Miss Xu's belly should be a boy."

As soon as Ye Changsheng's words came out, the eyes of the old lady in front of her immediately widened a little, and her wrinkled face instantly burst into an astonishing brilliance.

"Really? Really a boy?"

Ye Changsheng nodded slightly with a smile: "Judging from Miss Xu's words, that is indeed the case."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately danced with joy.She turned around and took Xu Zhaodi's hand, her whole eyes were bright: "I knew it was a son, I knew it! You are more blessed than your sister. I can tell when you have a belly. It must be a boy." !"

Although Xu Zhaodi on the side didn't look as happy as the old lady, but at the moment when Ye Changsheng said that she was pregnant with a boy, she glanced at the dancing old lady beside her, and a pair of eyes flashed There was a look of relief and relief.

She shook the old lady's hand, glanced sideways in Ye Changsheng's direction a little embarrassedly, and said to her in a low voice: "Mom, this is just a casual saying, and it may not be true. Yes. Whether it’s a man or a woman, you won’t know until after you’re born.”

"You child, you don't know how to say auspicious words all day long!" The old lady listened to her whispered defense, and gave her another look, "This is calculated by the heavenly master for you, and he can make mistakes. ?"

As he said that, he trotted around the fortune-telling booth and walked up to Ye Changsheng, bowed his waist and leaned over to ask: "Master Tian, ​​my great grandson, do you see that everything is alright? There won't be anything after this birth." Question?"

Ye Changsheng looked up at her, and said in a deep voice, "Judging from Miss Xu's handwriting, the word 'zi' is round and full, with good luck, it seems that there should be no problem..."

Not waiting for the other side to be happy, this side said again: "It's just..."

Mrs. Li immediately held her breath, and asked cautiously, "Just?"

Ye Changsheng's gaze stopped on Xu Zhaodi's body: "It's just that this child came here with the prayers of all parties absorbed, and the fortune is too domineering. I'm afraid Miss Xu may have some disasters on the day of delivery."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady Li, who was still full of joy, was taken aback for a moment, turned her head and glanced in the direction of her daughter, and then couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "This... can't it? My daughter's body is always Very good, just come to have a baby, nothing can go wrong, right?"

Xu Zhaodi's face was also stunned, she tugged on the hem of her clothes uneasily, looked at Ye Changsheng and said with some hesitation: "What do you mean by disaster? - Is it serious?"

Ye Changsheng smiled, looked at her and said slowly: "The moment of giving birth is the moment when the boundary between yin and yang is the most blurred. If you want to go through the gate of hell...you have to watch Miss Xu if it is serious." own creation."

Xu Zhaodi's face turned slightly pale, she and Mrs. Li looked at each other, and hurriedly asked on the other side: "Tianshi, do you know if there is any way to solve the disaster?"

Ye Changsheng thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "What is Miss Xu's husband's family name?"

Xu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "My husband's surname is Zhang."

Ye Changsheng nodded, folded the piece of paper that Xu Zhaodi wrote on into a small triangle, and wrote a small "Zhang" character with cinnabar on the outside of the triangle, and said a series of incantations lightly and quickly, At the same time, the pulp of the right thumb crossed the surface of the triangle.

I saw that the small characters written with cinnabar stained with cinnabar slowly melted into the paper with his movements, and when he moved his fingers away from the paper folded into a triangle, the original vermilion words The small characters just disappeared completely.

Xu Zhaodi and the old lady looked at Ye Changsheng's actions with a little bit of surprise, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy for a while.

The other end raised its eyelids and looked at Xu Zhaodi, then folded the paper in his hand into a small triangle and handed it over.

Xu Zhaodi took the little triangle over in a daze, looked at Ye Changsheng suspiciously and said, "This is—"

Ye Changsheng said: "When you go back, burn this piece of paper, mix the ashes with water, let your husband drink it on the day of your delivery, and it will keep your mother and child safe."

Xu Zhaodi clenched the talisman in her hand, pursed her lips and asked, "Will drinking this harm my husband?"

Ye Changsheng smiled and shook his head: "Your husband has a lot of yang energy, and it won't be a big problem to resist part of the evil energy for you. The worst thing is to have diarrhea a few times."

Xu Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.Although she didn't fully believe Ye Changsheng's words, she still put the triangle away carefully.

Mrs. Li saw that her daughter had already put away the paper triangle that Ye Changsheng had made, and then hurriedly asked Ye Changsheng: "Master, as long as we let my son-in-law eat this paper , then my daughter will be all right?"

Ye Changsheng nodded: "As long as he can share a little evil spirit for Miss Xu on the day of delivery, there will naturally be no major mistakes or omissions."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she let out a long sigh of relief.He settled the divination fee from his wallet, thanked Ye Changsheng again, and then carefully walked away with his daughter.

Seeing that the two men turned a corner at the end of the street, and their figures were no longer visible, He Jiuzhong, who had been leaning on the tree next to him, lowered his eyes to look at Ye Changsheng and asked, "What did you see again?"

Ye Changsheng turned around, looked up at him, and said, "Didn't you see it?"

He Jiuzhong jumped from the tree and landed beside him: "What do you see?"

Ye Changsheng gestured to the direction of his stomach, then narrowed his eyes and said, "The first thing that woman was pregnant with was a pair of dragon and phoenix twins."

He Jiuzhong paused for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "You mean, that female fetus is already dead?"

Ye Changsheng lowered his eyes slightly to look at the decorations on his booth, rubbed his fingertips on the corner of the table twice, and said in a deep voice, "Not only is she dead, but she was already whole before she took shape." The child was swallowed by the boy next to him."

He Jiuzhong seemed to be hearing such a weird thing for the first time, with a smile on his lips, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This sounds interesting."

"You don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and you don't think it hurts your back when you stand and talk." Ye Changsheng glanced at him sideways, expressing his deep contempt for his words and deeds that he feared that the world would not be chaotic, "One of the twins has a good fortune. It’s not surprising that it’s extra domineering, but it’s rare to be so domineering that it can swallow another carcass itself.”

He clicked his tongue again, shook his head and sighed: "Being able to accumulate such a domineering luck before he was born, and to be stained with a blood debt, I don't know how Heaven will ask him to repay this karma. Woolen cloth."

He Jiuzhong asked: "The talisman paper you gave that woman—?"

Ye Changsheng sat down and looked at him sideways with his chin in his hand: "Although the effect is not as strong as imagined, but if her husband is really willing to help her bear part of the evil spirit formed when the child was born, then at least To some extent, it is not difficult to save life."

As he spoke, as if thinking of something, he took out a talisman paper from his pocket, carefully cut it to a suitable size, and flexibly let the talisman paper fly between his fingers, and after a while a delicate paper The crane jumped into his palm.

Tilting his head slightly, he smiled at the other end and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

He Jiuzhong's eyes flicked over the paper crane, and finally landed on Ye Changsheng's eyes.He stretched out his hand and twirled the ends of his hair: "Will you bet that woman's husband will drink that bowl of talisman water?" The corners of his lips curled up, and there was a casual smile in his voice, "Longevity!" , you know that I have always supported the theory that human nature is inherently evil."

Ye Changsheng lifted the paper crane in his palm and placed it at the height of his eyes to look at it for a while, then raised his eyelids and looked towards He Jiuzhong: "In this case, our bet cannot continue."

He Jiuzhong smiled, and looked Ye Changsheng up and down: "Didn't you say you like 'people' very much?"

Ye Changsheng blinked: "Yes, I like it." Gently lifted the paper crane up in his hand, and saw a little red light flickering in the eye of the paper crane, which was just an object, suddenly like It seemed to be alive, it wobbled in the air twice, and then suddenly jumped up.

The paper crane flew into the air, and gradually became translucent. It circled around slowly for a while, and then seemed to have finally found its way, and wobbled towards the place where the mother and daughter had left before. The direction flew over.

Ye Changsheng withdrew his gaze from the paper crane, looked at He Jiuzhong again, and said confidently, "But I have never denied the ugly side of human nature."

He sat down, stretched out his hand and took a pen to write the strokes and strokes on the paper slowly, and said with a smile: "There is good and there is evil. There is advanced tolerance and backwardness and ignorance. With so many complex characteristics, this talent It's human."

He Jiuzhong raised his brows slightly, noncommittal to his remarks.

Putting down his pen and looking at the gradually hotting sun, Ye Changsheng stretched his waist: "It seems like there is not much business today, pack up and go home, I feel a little hungry."

When Xu Zhaodi and the old lady returned to the hospital together, they bumped into Xu Laidi who was coming out to look for them. When they saw the two at the other end, they rushed up quickly: "Mom, little sister."

She walked to Xu Zhaodi's side and carefully supported her, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you just take the little girl around, why did you delay until now? My brother-in-law and the others were still asking."

Mrs. Li was in good spirits every happy event, and she even looked better for Xu Laidi, she just waved her hand: "It's nothing to do with you, just help me get your sister back up."

While speaking, he opened the door of the ward and walked in first.

Although it is a double ward, fortunately, it is not the peak period for pregnant women to give birth. There are no other pregnant women in the room, only a man and another rural old lady who is about 60 or [-] years old are sitting in it.

"Dear family, I have a happy event to tell you!"

Before Xu Laidi and Xu Zhaodi from behind entered the room, Mrs. Li spoke loudly and walked towards the little old lady over there: "Didn't the hospital keep refusing to show us the sex of the doll in my daughter's stomach? In that time, I took Zhaodi out to find a master to give her a fortune."

It sounds absurd to say this, but the two people in the room don't think so.The little old lady in the countryside walked up to Mrs. Li in three steps at a time, poked her head and asked, "How is it, is it a boy?"

Mrs. Li nodded, with a rather smug expression: "That's not to mention! In-laws, look at Zhaodi's belly, it's sharp and small, it looks like a boy!"

Hearing this, the other end immediately smiled comfortably, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be flattened: "Amitabha, Amitabha. It's good to be a boy. If it's a boy after birth, it's not in vain. I spend every day at home Burning incense and praying."

The two old ladies were chatting and laughing together. It seemed that because of the "boy" Xu Zhaodi, their lives had been completed, and their faces were full of joy and joy. Although the man on the other side did not join the discussion between the two old ladies , but he also had a look of joy on his face.

Walking over, he gently pulled Xu Zhaodi from Xu Laidi into his arms and hugged her, with obvious excitement in his voice: "Honey, if you really gave birth to a boy with this baby, then you are the head of our old Zhang's family." The number one hero!"

After hearing this, Xu Zhaodi felt satisfied yet awkward, and asked after a while, "Then if I didn't give birth to a boy, what if I gave birth to a girl?"

The man froze for a moment, patted her hand lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xu Zhaodi was vaguely uncomfortable in her heart, but after seeing the man's reaction, she began to expand inexplicably. She pursed her lips, and suddenly twisted and asked: "I'm serious, what if? What if? What if I gave birth to a girl?"

The man touched her head, and said casually: "If you really give birth to a girl, then... have another one. Anyway, the first child is a girl, so you can have another one."

Xu Zhaodi felt even more awkward in her heart. She looked up at her husband, opened her mouth and asked again: "What if the second one is a daughter?"

The man froze for a moment and laughed, "Why do you keep asking these inexplicable things today?" He reached out and touched her stomach, "Didn't everyone say that your baby is definitely a son? It's already a certainty, There is no such thing as a first and a second daughter."

Xu Zhaodi was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, she said stubbornly: "Just tell me, what if I are daughters twice in a row?"

The man on the other end seemed to be a little impatient at being asked, but he still looked at her protruding belly, and softened his voice as patiently as possible: "Then regenerate!" He looked at her and said as a matter of course, "As long as you keep After birth, there will always be a kid."

Xu Zhaodi felt a chill in her heart when she heard this sentence, she was silent for a while, but she still asked in a low voice, "Isn't the country family planning? How can there be so many births?"

The man raised his head, gave her a meaningful look, then smiled and lowered his head, reached out and shook her hand gently: "There will always be a way."

The meaning in these words was profound, and the few people around heard it and didn't understand it.

The two little old ladies over there stopped talking, they turned around and looked this way, and they also seemed to agree with what the man said.

Xu Laidi, who was standing aside and pouring water for Xu Zhaodi, heard the man's words, and her hand holding the water bottle trembled slightly.

As soon as the water bottle swayed, the water in it overflowed, and a few drops of hot water splashed on the back of her hand, causing her to yell "ah" in pain, and shivered slightly.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xu Zhaodi heard the movement over there, and quickly turned her head to look at Xu Laidi.

Xu Laidi found a rag to wipe off the splashed water on the table, turned around and forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Just now, I couldn't hold my hand firmly, so I just shook it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li hurried over to her and scolded her in a low voice: "You are really clumsy, you can't do this well. Your sister is pregnant with your aunt and nephew now! It's okay if you burn yourself. What if you burned your sister?"

He took the cup from her hand and handed it to Xu Zhaodi, still muttering: "I can't have a son at first, if you can't even do things well, what will you do in the future? You will be like this sooner or later. To be killed by your husband's family—”

"mom!"

Xu Laidi on the side buried her head so deeply that she didn't dare to make a sound, but Xu Zhaodi on the side couldn't listen anymore.She frowned and pulled Mrs. Li to interrupt what she hadn't finished speaking, and said in a low voice, "I feel a little tired and want to sleep here for a while. Your little grandson also needs to be taken care of at home. You go back first." Bar."

Mrs. Li paused, looked at the time on her watch, and then slapped her thigh: "Oh, it's already time, I have to go back to cook! Otherwise, my little grandson will be starving!"

As he spoke, he glared at Xu Laidi, touched Xu Zhaodi's belly lovingly, and greeted Zhang's mother and son in the room, and then left the ward in a hurry.

The old lady Li at the other end left, and the two people in the room thought that it was time to go back and cook some food for Xu Zhaodi, talked to her for a while, and then left the ward together.

After several people left one after another, only the two sisters of the Xu family were left in the lively ward just now.

Xu Laidi helped Xu Zhaodi to lie on the hospital bed, and reached out to touch her stomach.Suddenly, through a thin layer of skin, she seemed to be kicked gently from inside. She looked at Xu Zhaodi with a little joy on her face and said, "Little sister, look, my aunt My nephew is kicking me!"

Xu Zhaodi naturally felt the fetal movement.She also stretched out her hand to touch her stomach, and there was a happy feeling of being a new mother on her face, but at the same time, there was a little unspeakable sadness.

She looked at Xu Laidi, and said softly: "Sister, do you want Mom to keep talking about you like that?"

Xu Laidi sighed with a smile, and resigned herself to her fate: "Then what can I do? Who made me give birth to both babies who lost money." She looked down at Xu Zhaodi's belly, with a bit of envy in her expression: "It's still hello, pregnant You can conceive a child. Hey... your life is really good."

"Before he was born, why must he be a kid?"

Seeing Xu Laidi like this, Xu Zhaodi felt panicked. She took Xu Laidi's wrist and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, why did you become like this? Didn't we say it when we were two children, and we will never be like our father in the future?" Like our mother, no matter whether we are pregnant with a boy or a girl, will we cherish them?"

Xu Laidi was silent for a while, and then gently helped Xu Zhaodi to straighten Xu Zhaodi's hair with the other hand, with a paranoid and faint fanaticism in his expression: "Little sister, what I said when I was young was too naive, so it's fine to talk about it, we are all grown up now How can you still keep thinking about the kind of things you said casually when you were a child?"

"In a family, a man is the god. A woman, the only value in this world is to pass on the family line to a man. You say, as a woman, if I can't even help my husband give birth to a son, I will still be alive in my life." What's the point?"

Xu Zhaodi saw that the expression revealed in Xu Laidi's eyes gradually coincided with the strong desire for a son that she had seen in the eyes of countless other women in the village since she was a child, and her back couldn't help but feel a chill .

"Sister, what's the matter with you? It's fine for our mother to talk about it, but why did you start talking like this?"

Xu Zhaodi's voice trembled a little, she held Xu Laidi's hand, her facial features were all wrinkled together, she seemed a little anxious: "Now it's all about equality between men and women, here is the national policy, boys and girls are the same !"

"Same?" Xu Laidi shook her head, she smiled slightly, but her eyes were a little empty, "It's not the same."

"Since I gave birth to my daughter, my mother-in-law and the others have never looked at me and my daughter. During the confinement period, except for you who came to take care of me, you also saw it. Even our mother rarely came over. .”

She said in a faint voice: "They will treat me better when I am pregnant with the second child, but God is too cruel to me. I clearly went to the temple to offer incense and worship the Bodhisattva seriously, but in the end But still a daughter."

Xu Zhaodi said eagerly: "Although they are two daughters, they are very good-looking, aren't they? They are very obedient and sensible."

Xu Laidi nodded: "Yes, very obedient. Because if they are not obedient, they will have nothing to eat."

She lowered her head and freed her hands from Xu Zhaodi's grasp, and then touched her stomach tenderly and lovingly: "When Dabao was five years old, he accidentally dropped the spoon on the ground while eating. The person who got down from the chair to pick up the spoon When I accidentally fell down, the whole body just hit her grandma's foot."

"Her grandmother was so angry that she hit her with a feather duster like crazy. I didn't dare to hide, so I hugged her next to her. She beat her like this for more than ten minutes. Since then, her grandmother has not allowed me for more than half a month. Have dinner with her again."

"When Xiaobao was born, because he was born prematurely, his body was weak, and he would get sick every now and then. My husband's family didn't want to spend more money to see a doctor who was losing money, so I had to work a few more jobs here and there. It’s better to exchange some money to buy medicine for her.”

"One day, I came home very late, and it was pitch black everywhere. It was cold, and I went home with the salary I had just received, but when I got home, I didn't see my baby in the cradle. "

The look in Xu Laidi's eyes was a bit numb: "They said that Xiaobao had died of illness, so they just threw it away. I don't believe it. She was fine when I went out, so why didn't she disappear? I went out and searched everywhere. ..." She looked up at Xu Zhaodi at the other end, and smiled slightly, "Then I found her in the nearby garbage dump."

"She was so young and sick. When I found her, her face was purple from the cold... I snatched her back from the arms of Death."

This is the first time Xu Zhaodi heard this from her sister's mouth. Her heart was tightly huddled together, and a surge of air pressure was on her chest, which made her almost breathless: "Sister..."

She said in a low voice, "But then I regretted it again."

"Anyway, she might just suffer in this world. What would I do if I brought her back?" Xu Laidi looked at Xu Zhaodi, her empty eyes seemed to be suddenly lit with fire, "If I hadn't found her at that time, She, maybe she has been reincarnated now, has a healthy body, has an ordinary family, and has lived a new life happily?"

She looked at Xu Zhaodi: "And after she dies, I can also have another son. With this son, I will no longer be looked down upon by the whole family—my in-laws will no longer always pick on me Bones, I don't have to shrink my head and tail anymore when I go out, my life will no longer be like it is now, so gloomy that there is no hope in sight!"

Xu Laidi's expression became more and more excited, her eyes became brighter and brighter, her voice was almost trembling with excitement because of the fantasy scene: "In that way, I can be free."

Xu Zhaodi froze from being frightened by such a strange and frightening Xu Laidi.

The Xu Laidi in her memory is obviously the best sister who is silent and introverted, but still gentle and full of fantasies and hopes for life.

——But after a few years, how could she be destroyed like this?

Xu Laidi seemed to read her panic from Xu Zhaodi's eyes, she sighed softly, and restrained her madness again.

"Little sister, it's not that my sister has changed." Xu Laidi smiled softly, "It's that my sister has been dreaming all the time, and now she has woken up from the dream. But you are okay."

She stretched out her hand and touched the protruding belly of her hand lovingly: "As long as you are pregnant with a boy, you are fine. You will become a hero of the Zhang family. As long as you have a son, you will find that everything you do is right .”

"Women, your talent, beauty, self-cultivation are all fake! Nothing is as important as a strong belly. As long as you can give birth to a boy, everything will be fine... everything will be fine..."

"sister……"

"So I really envy you, your life is so good..." Xu Laidi murmured, she lowered her head, and for a while, tears rolled down from her eyes.The tears dripped down on the bed sheet with a "pop", and were instantly absorbed by the quilt, leaving only a shallow irregular circular mark.

Since Xu Zhaodi could remember, she had never seen Xu Laidi cry in front of her, and when she saw the other end crying, she immediately became flustered.

"Sister... don't cry, don't cry!"

With difficulty, she straightened her stomach and leaned forward, holding Xu Laidi in her arms: "You can't think like this, it's wrong to think like this. It's already a new century, look around us, there are still capable women Is it less? Your two daughters are very good, you can’t let them go... We’ve had enough of being discriminated against by our family, do you still want your daughter to repeat the experience of the previous generation?”

Xu Laidi hugged Xu Zhaodi, and suddenly fell on her shoulder and burst into tears: "You don't understand...you don't understand! You don't understand! Girls are born...born to suffer! I must give birth to a son , if I don’t have a son, my two daughters will not have a good life!”

Xu Zhaodi hugged Xu Laidi with a pale face. After a while, she said in a very low voice: "Sister, you are like this... I'm afraid."

"I'm afraid, what if this child is also a daughter?"

"I don't want to become a woman like my mother. I want to treat my child equally. I want to love him and protect him from growing up healthily."

"Sister, I don't understand, is it wrong for us to do this?"

Xu Laidi was silent for a long time, but she did not answer this question.

Stretching out her hand to wipe her eyes, she let go of Xu Zhaodi's hand and stood up slowly: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong now, all I know is that if the two of us want to gain a foothold in our own family, we must give birth to a son."

She looked at Xu Zhaodi, and said softly: "Little sister, as someone who has experienced it, I will give you a piece of advice."

Xu Laidi's eyes paused slightly on Xu Zhaodi's stomach, and then she spoke again, her voice was cold and thin: "If this baby is a daughter, if you don't want to do evil, then just don't want it."

"Maybe some families really don't care whether the child is a boy or a girl, but obviously this is not the case in your family. You have heard what they said just now. Do you think that if this child is a daughter, your fate will be much better than mine? ?”

"In your current family, once you give birth to a daughter, you will not only drag yourself down, but also harm her, do you understand?"

Xu Zhaodi's pupils suddenly constricted when he heard the words on the other side.

She looked at Xu Laidi over there, whose demeanor had become indifferent although there were still some tears in the corners of her eyes, and finally understood in her heart that her gentle sister had been completely obliterated in her ten years of unfortunate marriage. clean.
