Chapter 121 Pregnancy
"Grandma, I don't want to be a maid. Please don't sell us. My sister is only three years old. She is only three years old!! Grandma, I beg you, please take my sister home, just her!"
The ignorant Sun Simei only knew that her sister was very sad.
She knelt on the ground like her sister and cried loudly.
Sun Laidi crawled to Zhou Xiufen and hugged her legs tightly.
Praying.
The small hands and thin arms seemed to have used up all their strength.
They were afraid that grandma would abandon them and run away.
"Stop making trouble. The contract of sale has been signed. From now on, you are no longer my granddaughters. I am leaving. Remember my words. When you make money in the future, you must bring it back to repay us."
For fear of being pestered by her granddaughter, Zhou Xiufen did not dare to say too much.
She cruelly pried Sun Lai Di's hands apart.
He left without looking back.
The resolute look made Sun Lai Di let out a shrill scream.
"grandmother--"
This voice has strong penetrating power.
Zhou Xiufen heard it clearly.
Her pace did not slow down, but became faster.
When I returned to Sunjia Village.
It was already the end of the afternoon.
"Mother, how much silver did you get?"
Mr. Sun came out of the outhouse in the backyard holding up his pants after defecating, and just in time he saw his mother coming back with a lot of bags.
The two daughters who went out with him were not around.
He knew in his heart that his daughters had probably been sold.
So he asked about the price.
"Sold it, sold it. The situation is bad now. Many families are selling their children. The price is a bit low. I spent the whole morning looking for a suitable one. I sold it for four taels of silver. I bought a pound of meat for you and Sanhe to replenish your bodies. Oh, and I also bought the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that Sanhe takes in June, so you don't have to make another trip."
Zhou Xiufen looked very happy.
"Four taels? That's good, it's not a loss to sell them. Even if you marry them off, the gift you get is only two taels. If you had known that girls are so valuable, you should have sold them when they were just born."
Mr. Sun has no feelings for his two daughters.
The eldest daughter is fine.
After all, this is his first child.
Although she is a girl, she is special.
He was reluctant to sell it.
But he didn't even want to look at his other two daughters.
It’s all because of them that he still has no son.
They were the ones who blocked their brother's way.
It's better to sell it.
There is too much negative energy in the house. What if my son doesn’t come?
Mr. Sun thought to himself.
"Alright, the wound on your face hasn't healed yet, go inside and rest, mom will go cook."
Zhou Xiufen couldn't hide the joy on her face.
At dinner time.
It was rare to see a plate of meat on the Sun family’s dining table.
Zhou Xiufen took out half of it and filled a bowl of brown rice porridge and brought it to Jiang Sanhe's room.
"Mom, I only need to eat half. This is too much. I can't finish it. Besides, didn't the doctor tell me to only eat until I'm 70% full?"
Jiang Sanhe looked at the full bowl of brown rice porridge and the finger-thick layer of vegetables.
She was stunned.
"Don't take what the doctor says seriously, he's just trying to scare you. Eat well, and my grandson will be healthy. Take good care of the baby, the bigger he gets, the easier it will be to raise. Listen to me, don't worry, I won't harm you."
Zhou Xiufen's eyes rolled around.
She picked up the bowl and put it in Jiang Sanhe's hand.
Persuade her to eat more.
She has no control over whether her daughter-in-law will have a difficult delivery.
As long as her grandson can be born safely.
It is said that the most nourishing baby is in the mother's womb.
As long as she feeds her grandson plenty and makes him fat, he will naturally not get sick.
Jiang Sanhe didn't know what Zhou Xiufen was thinking.
She thought her mother-in-law cared about her a lot.
That was so touching.
In the end, Jiang Sanhe ate the entire bowl of porridge and vegetables.
She was so full that she almost vomited.
Until it was almost dark, Jiang Sanhe did not ask her mother-in-law where her two daughters had gone.
Until Sun Zhaodi walked in quietly.
"Mom, did grandma sell my sisters?"
Sun Zhaodi's eyes were red.
"Well, it's sold. From now on, there will only be you and your brother at home. You have to work harder. When your brother comes out, our life will be better."
Jiang Sanhe leaned on the bed.
Her expression did not change.
It seemed like she was talking about someone who had nothing to do with her.
"Mom, why did you agree to let grandma sell my sister? Mom, you..."
Sun Zhaodi didn't finish her words.
He was interrupted by Jiang Sanhe.
"Shut up! If you keep making trouble, I'll ask your grandmother to sell you too. Our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. What else can we do if we don't sell them? How can your brother be born safely? I think it's worth it to exchange two worthless girls for a son!"
Jiang Sanhe's voice was exceptionally cold.
After that, she kicked her daughter out of the house.
In the backyard.
Sun Zhaodi squatted beside the chicken coop, crying silently.
No one knows.
Jiangjia Village on the other side.
After finishing her meal, Zhang Jinlan took Jiang Fubao to Ma Chunxia's house next door.
Although both families lived at the end of the village, they were not next to each other.
The door is not closed.
Zhang Jinlan knocked on the door and walked in confidently.
"No one's home—"
She shouted.
The next second, Ma Chunxia came out of the main room holding a bowl of rice.
"Hey, sister-in-law Jiang, I haven't seen you for several days. You are such a busy person, but you still have time to chat with me?"
Because I'm busy with shop matters these days.
Zhang Jinlan basically goes to bed after dinner.
As a result, Ma Chunxia didn't see her for several days.
She took a mouthful of brown rice porridge, knocked on the bowl and said jokingly.
"You eat first, I'm not in a hurry, I just came to talk to you about something."
Zhang Jinlan took a bench and sat in the yard with her granddaughter.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Ma Chunxia felt that the rice in the bowl no longer smelled good.
She quickly finished the last few bites.
After putting the bowl on the table in the main room, he asked Zhang Jinlan.
"I'm telling you the truth. I've been so busy lately because I'm doing some food business in town. Please don't tell the villagers. I don't want them to know for the time being.
Over the years, we have had the best relationship in the village. When I have something good to do, I will come to you first. Here, the bamboo tube on your table, polished smooth, bring it to me, I will give you a penny for every five you receive, no upper limit. "
Zhang Jinlan pointed at the bamboo tube on the table and said to Ma Chunxia.
"You're in the food business? No wonder you've been out every day lately. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. As for the bamboo tube you mentioned, are you really going to take it? There's a large bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. You can just go cut some bamboo yourself. It won't take much effort."
Ma Chunxia thought Zhang Jinlan was joking.
She didn't take it seriously.
"I really do. Of course, if you don't have time, I'll go find someone else."
Zhang Jinlan picked up Jiang Fubao and pretended to leave.
Ma Chunxia was so scared that she grabbed her.
"Oh, Sister Jinlan, what is our relationship? Even if I don't have time, I have to make time to make bamboo tubes for you. Don't look for others. Hehe, I agree to this matter, but how many bamboo tubes do you want?"
