Wang Ying showed the child to Qian**. Qian** was already exhausted. He touched the child's face and looked at Wang Ying with hope.
Wang Ying: “It’s a girl.”
The light in Qian**'s eyes went out instantly, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
She suffered a lot, but in the end she still failed to give birth to a son.
Wang Ying didn't know what to say. Having a daughter was a relief for Da Ya and Er Ya. After all, if the two girls had a younger brother, their future lives would be visibly devoted to the younger brother. The two children's already poor living standards might even get worse.
But I gave birth to a sister...
Wang Ying knew without thinking how big a blow this was to Qian**. She would have to live her life being laughed at for not having a son, and would have to lead a difficult life between her cowardly husband and her unruly mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
After a long while, Wang Ying said to Qian **: "Both of your daughters are good, so I always thought you had a bad temper, but I never thought you were a bad person."
This is the truth. Daya and Erya are both well-behaved children. Of course, this is because of the harsh family environment, which forced them to restrain their tempers and lose their innocence. But it is also due to Qian**'s education.
Children are a reflection of adults, just like Wang Yongshun's family. Not only are their parents like this, but their three children also have their own problems, some are even worse than their parents.
"If others laugh at you, you should strive to be better. In the past, you were striving to be better by giving birth to a son, but in the future, you can strive to be better on yourself. Just like me, my parents are gone, and my mother didn't have a son at that time. But my mother managed to live alone..."
"To put it bluntly, it's because my mom knows some medical skills that people dare not laugh at me even if they want to."
"You can do it, too. You can make yourself proud, and then no one will look down on you anymore."
After Wang Ying finished speaking, Qian** fell silent.
Wang Ying didn't know why the other party was silent, so she could only hand the child to her and hug her.
The midwife also came in. Her handling of the matter was obviously more professional. Not only did she check Qian**, she also held the baby for examination.
There was a lot of hustle and bustle inside, and Qian** had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Wang Ying was dirty. She said a few words to Grandma Tian and left with the medicine box.
Walking into the yard, Tian Dazhui's eyes were shining as he stared at Wang Ying.
Wang Ying curled her lips. She totally disdained such men.
The reason why Qian** is so strong-willed is simply because her man is too weak.
Tian Dazhui’s cowardice is the root cause of this family’s suffering.
Wang Ying was in a bad mood, especially when Da Ya and Er Ya looked at her with sharp eyes, which made her feel a little sad.
"You have a little sister now." Wang Ying ignored Tian Dazhu and spoke directly to the two children.
Daya's eyes suddenly dimmed. Although Erya was young, she knew that she should have a younger brother instead of a younger sister. She held her sister's hand, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xu Shuang saw that Wang Ying was not in good condition, so she stepped forward to support her and said, "The midwife is here, we'll leave first."
Xu Shuang took Wang Ying's hand and left, and behind them was the sound of Tian Dazhu kneeling in the snow and crying.
The crying sounded really aggrieved. Tian Dazhu was crying, but Daya and Erya didn't cry.
Yes, these two children cried silently.
Xu Shuang led Wang Ying in the snow, neither of them spoke. Wang Ying was too tired, she had been busy all night, and there were two dangerous moments when Qian ** was giving birth, and it was only because she was quick to watch that nothing happened.
After such a night, Wang Ying was exhausted both mentally and physically. She didn't want to say a word.
When they returned home, Xu Shuang helped Wang Ying change her clothes and got her a basin of water to wash her feet. Wang Ying was dazed while he washed her, then quickly fed her some food and covered her with a big quilt.
Xu Shuang's voice was faint and vague: "Let's sleep first."
Wang Ying fell asleep in the warm bed. Xu Shuang tidied up the things at home and then lay down on the bed.
When Wang Ying woke up, it was already the afternoon. She was still half asleep and reached for her pocket watch, but when she took out her hand she shivered from the cold.
Xu Shuang hugged him tightly from behind, put his hands back into the quilt, and said, "It's only noon now, sleep a little longer."
The two of them came back at around five in the morning and had only slept for more than seven hours.
But Wang Ying couldn't sleep anymore. She covered her rumbling stomach and felt that she needed some fuel to get moving.
Xu Shuang had no choice but to get up to cook. Wang Ying also wanted to get out of bed, but Xu Shuang ordered her to stay in the bedroom.
Xu Shuang put two quilts on her and said, "Just sit down and eat."
As he said that, he stuffed two candies into Wang Ying's mouth to fill her stomach.
Xu Shuang went out to heat up the dishes from last night. The prepared dishes were all covered with oil, so they had to be cooked again.
There was a bowl of steamed buns next to the stove, still soft, probably sent by Old Lady Xu.
Xu Shuang heated up the steamed buns and cooked the pork and cabbage, and served them together.
Wang Ying gobbled it up in big mouthfuls. The pork had a crispy aroma and tasted delicious even when it was cold or reheated.
The meat buns were also delicious, with a whole boiled egg stuffed inside. Wang Ying was still wondering: "Why do you put eggs in the buns?"
Xu Shuang: "This is what my mother made. She likes to wrap a boiled egg in a meat bun. When I was a kid, my brother and I also ate bird eggs like this."
When Wang Ying heard that it was made by her mother-in-law, she savored it and said, "It's delicious."
Xu Shuang: "When my brother was a child, he didn't like egg yolks. My mother put eggs in the buns on purpose so that he could eat egg yolks."
Although Wang Ying had never met this Xu Ming, she understood now: "Is your brother a picky eater?"
There are two cooks at home, and they are both picky about food
Xu Shuang nodded: "My brother is very picky about food. When he was a kid, he would refuse to eat anything."
Wang Ying sighed, it really can't be deduced by genetics. The personalities of these two brothers are too different.
Two people finished their pork and cabbage, and one of them ate two buns, and only then did they feel full.
Anyway, Tian Youfu knew what happened last night, and he probably wouldn't come to work or hold a meeting with them today, so the two of them simply stayed in bed.
Wang Ying played with Xu Shuang's fingers. Xu Shuang was a cook, but her fingers were not black and greasy, but long and slender.
Xu Shuang suddenly said: "Yesterday Qian**..."
Wang Ying sighed: "She had a hard life."
In fact, she hadn’t told Qian** that due to this delivery and the premature birth, Qian**’s body could not sustain another pregnancy.
In other words, the possibility of Qian** wanting a son again is very low, so low that it can be ignored.
Wang Ying: "I just feel it's a pity for Daya and Erya."
Both girls are smart and sensible, and if they are brought up well they may not be worse than boys.
Xu Shuang suddenly said, "Let's not have children for the next few years."
Wang Ying had been planning to say it at this moment, but Xu Shuang said it first.
Wang Yingmu leaned in Xu Shuang's arms blankly. Xu Shuang said, "You were in there last night, and I was outside listening all night... I thought several times, what would I do if it was you in there."
"Then I thought about it and felt that if it were you, I would rather not have this child."
Xu Shuang put her chin on Wang Ying's shoulder: "Let's wait a few years. You are young now, and I am worried. We are in the countryside, just like Qian **, it is not easy to have a child in the countryside."
"I've thought it through. I'll see if there's a chance to be transferred to the city in a few years. Then we can give birth in the city. That way I'll feel more at ease."
Wang Ying: "If my mother urges me..."
Xu Shuang: "I just said I don't want it for now. Everything is up to you. If you think it's too early in a few years, we can do it later."
Wang Ying: "Do you really think so?"
Xu Shuang was very firm: "You gave birth to the child, so the decision should be based on your opinion."
Wang Ying was very moved and threw herself into Xu Shuang's arms.
Xu Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't... We both agreed not to have children for now..."
Wang Ying was a little surprised. What Xu Shuang meant was...
Xu Shuang held Wang Ying's hand and said, "Let's just bear with it for the next few years and wait until we get into the city."
Wang Ying raised her eyebrows, unable to believe that Xu Shuang was so naive about such a thing.
Xu Shuang was also worried. If she had known this would happen, she should have discussed this matter before the marriage. This way, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassed not to have sex, and it would have been easier to endure for a few years.
Now…
He really felt that he was asking for trouble.
Wang Ying leaned over and whispered something into Xu Shuang's ear, and Xu Shuang's eyes lit up instantly.
"Is there such a thing?"
Wang Ying: "Why would I lie to you? They're all available in the hospital."
Wang Ying was also surprised that Xu Shuang didn't know about the little raincoat at that time, but it made sense. One of the reasons why there are so many births in rural areas is that family planning products are not widely available, so people don't have the concept of contraception.
Xu Shuang solved a big problem that was bothering her, and her mood improved a lot.
The two of them also got up to prepare dinner. Yesterday was originally planned to be a harmonious family meal, but now they couldn't make it.
Xu Shuang said that everything had been prepared and the festival had to be celebrated.
So he prepared another meal in the evening and asked Wang Ying to go find Old Lady Xu.
When Wang Ying went there, she found that the matter about Tian Dazhu's family was already all over the place.
Old Mrs. Xu was chatting with someone by the brazier in her house. When she saw Wang Ying coming over, she immediately pulled her to sit next to the brazier with a caring look on her face.
The old ladies were also convinced and praised Wang Ying for her ability.
If everyone had doubts about Wang Ying's medical skills before, no one has them now.
Praise for Wang Ying comes out freely without any cost.
"Ying girl, you are really good. I heard that you even corrected Qian**'s fetal position."
"Where? I heard you cured Qian** with just one shot."
"I heard that the baby was supposed to take more than a day to be born, but it was born smoothly with just one injection."
…
Wang Ying quickly explained: "It wasn't just one injection, it was a lot of injections, it was for the leg, and it didn't happen all at once, it took a whole night..."
But the old ladies don't care about that. They all feel proud of it.
As they were talking, someone mentioned Tian Dazhu's family.
"Their family is really guilty. Erzhuzi's mother is such a piece of shit. How could she kill her eldest son's wife just to make her eldest son raise the younger son? Isn't this against her conscience?"
"That's right, my heart and eyes have turned to my lungs."
"There's another girl in Dazhuzi's family. What are we going to do in the future?"
"Haven't you heard? His mother said this morning that she wanted Qian** to find the team leader and tell him not to punish her, or else she would divorce her daughter-in-law!"
