Changping Village.
No matter what era it is in or what kind of family it is, having a child is a happy event for a family. Everyone wants a family with many children, a lively and prosperous family, with brothers helping each other, and married girls with backers and elderly parents. When you are old, you have something to rely on.
However, for the third wife of the Yang family at this time, the fact that Xiaoduo was pregnant was a mixture of joy and sorrow, and they were extremely tangled.
After sending Wang Sheng away, Baby Luo wisely returned to the Luo family next door to accompany his two younger brothers. Then Wang Cuilian and Blacksmith Luo came to discuss in the yard.
In Xiaoduo's house, He Lianer took Jiaojiao and Lingling to the kitchen.
Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang were sitting at the table drinking tea in silence, while Wang Cuilian and Sun were sitting sideways on the bed. Sun was holding a bowl of brown sugar water with donkey hide gelatin in his hand, urging Xiaoduo to drink it.
Xiaoduo was sitting on the bed with a quilt on her legs. She was stroking her lower abdomen with both hands. Compared to the complicated and tangled moods of Sun and others, Xiaoduo, the person involved, gradually calmed down after a brief shock.
No, Mrs. Sun brought the brown sugar water over. As soon as she opened her mouth to persuade Xiaoduo to drink it, Xiaoduo took the sugar water and started drinking it.
This made Mrs. Sun very surprised. After the surprise, she was happy because her daughter knew how to take care of her body and treat her body well.
Wait, what is the purpose of conditioning and kindness?
Could it be...
As a result, Mrs. Sun became more and more entangled, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Yang Huazhong at the table.
"Dad, don't just drink tea. You are the head of the family, so you should speak up and down." Mrs. Sun said in a low voice.
Yang Huazhong put down the tea bowl, raised his head, looked at Xiao Duo for a long time, seemed to be considering his words, and then asked her carefully: "Duo'er, what are your plans for this baby?"
Just half an hour ago, Wangsheng called Mrs. Sun into the next room to tell Mrs. Sun that Xiaoduo was pregnant.
Judging from the pulse, it should be more than a month old.
Because Xiaoduo is thin and the clothes she wears are too wide, she can't tell yet.
Wangsheng knew Xiaoduo's current situation and didn't want to touch Xiaoduo's emotions, so he asked Sun to check with Xiaoduo about her next menstrual period, as well as the approximate dates of the last two meetings with Shengnan, so that he could calculate more details. Detailed baby month.
After Mrs. Sun came back, she sent Yang Huazhong and the others away and questioned Xiaoduo in private.
Only then did I learn that Xiaoduo had not been here for three months because her menstruation was not very regular before, and what happened to Shengnan later made Xiaoduo even less interested in paying attention to what happened to her.
Mrs. Sun fed back to Wangsheng what she learned from Xiaoduo, and calculated that Xiaoduo's pregnancy period should be nearly three months.
Katsuo has been missing for more than a month. Calculating this, Katsuo should have been conceived one and a half months before the accident.
According to Xiaoduo, the couple did do those things during that time. After all, they were a young couple. They were busy during the day, and when they lay in bed at night, it was only natural for them to do 404 on the hour.
"Duoer, your father is asking you something, but you are talking."
Seeing that Xiaoduo didn't respond after Yang Huazhong asked, Sun became anxious and asked a question.
Only then did Xiaoduo cast her eyes on her parents, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, revealing her first heartfelt smile in a long time.
"Father, mother, you don't have to think about it. I will definitely give birth to my baby."
Yang Huazhong and Sun looked at each other, and they both saw the same worry in each other's eyes.
Yang Huazhong frowned and said: "Duo'er, don't blame dad for saying depressing words. If it were in normal times, parents would have clapped their hands and be happy for this new grandson. But the situation is different now. My daughter, you have to be careful. This baby... Consider it?"
Yang Huazhong couldn't bear to say such cruel words as aborting the baby, which was unjust.
But as an old father and a family member, Yang Huazhong still has his own selfish motives.
When Xiaoduo heard Yang Huazhong's words, her expression remained calm, as if she had expected her father to say this in advance.
"Dad, I understand your worries, but I have already decided that no matter whether Shengnan comes back or not, I will not remarry. I want to give birth to this child. If it is a son, I can leave a legacy for the Xiang family." With a bit of blood, in the future, Jiaojiao and Lingling will get married, and at least she will have a brother from her mother's family to support her. If she is also a daughter... no matter how she adds one more person to the family, it will always be more lively."
Yang Huazhong was silent.
Mrs. Sun's eyes were red and she said, "Daughter, let me just say something selfish. You are only in your early twenties. With your conditions, you can't leave another family. Why hang yourself on the tree of the Xiang family? "
"Mom, this is of my own free will."
"Duo'er, you are still young and don't know how hard it is. Your Aunt Cuilian and I have been a widow. It is not easy for a woman to raise two children. Even with the help of her mother's family, it is not easy. It is not because of your words at the moment. Just warm blood will do it!"
Mrs. Sun looked at Wang Cuilian with red eyes, hoping that her personal statement would make Xiaoduo change her mind.
However, everyone underestimated Xiaoduo's stubbornness.
In other words, this is not stubbornness, but a tenacity and persistence beyond their imagination.
"Aunt Cuilian, I appreciate your kindness," Xiaoduo looked at Wang Cuilian sincerely and even took the initiative to hold Wang Cuilian's hand.
"I know that if you didn't really feel sorry for me, you wouldn't have said those heart-wrenching words to me, and you wouldn't have opened your own wounds for me to see..."
Wang Cuilian had tears in her eyes, "Good girl, I wish you could understand Aunt Cuilian's intentions. You are still young. It is very easy to have children and live in harmony with each other. Don't go astray."
Xiaoduo smiled and shook his head slightly.
Her eyes turned to the other people in the room, and finally fell on Mrs. Sun, "Mom, I have made up my mind. I must stay with this child."
"Don't try to persuade me. I think clearly. No matter how hard it is, I will keep this child! Even if I never get married, I don't care."
Mrs. Sun's face was ashen, as if she had seen her daughter dying alone, tears streaming down her face.
Yang Huazhong sighed, "Oh, what a bad fate!"
What they originally thought was that after a year and a half, or three to five years, Xiaoduo's sadness would subside a little, and they would make arrangements to marry her into another family.
By then Jiaojiao will be older, and she can either stay with the Xiang family or remarry with Duoer.
Although this is a bit sorry for the Xiang family, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. The Yang family does not owe the Xiang family anything, and there is no need to involve a young daughter in order to continue the Xiang family's relationship!
But now this girl has to stay in this pit of fire for life and death, and the second child in her belly is a chain that tightly ties her to the Xiang family and cannot be untied...
