The male host saw the jade plaque on the baby's belly again, picked it up and looked at it: "There are words on it, and I don't recognize it. I'll take it and ask the village chief."
But he knew that this kind of jade must be valuable. He had seen a similar shape when delivering firewood to rich families.
Although the couple was poor, they were not very stupid. They knew it would be bad if they took this thing out, so they used the paper in their swaddling clothes to draw the words on the jade plaque.
One word on a piece of paper.
After the man took it to the village chief and asked about the word, he came back and said to his wife, "The village chief said this word has a bad meaning."
I read it to him anyway, and he read it to his wife.
The two discussed it and concluded that this might also be the reason for the child's biological parents. Otherwise, with such a good jade plaque and a swaddling cloth of this kind of fabric, it would be impossible to afford it. The problem could lie with the mother.
The hostess had obviously heard of this kind of gossip. She said, "Even if you come from a wealthy family, being a concubine is not easy. I heard that you can't give birth to a boy, so the male host will still dislike her."
But they weren't smart enough to guess what kind of wealthy family it was that had thrown it away.
Therefore, the male host thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do this. This child's name will be my surname, Ye Shang, and she will be my daughter from now on."
Ye Dalang happily hugged his new daughter.
The hostess also laughed. Although she was a little regretful that her husband could not give birth, she thought it was her problem at first, but her husband did not blame her. Instead, he comforted her and accompanied her to see the doctor, and then she realized that it was her husband's problem.
At the beginning, her husband also said that he could reconcile with Li and let her go.
She didn't agree. No matter who she married into, she would have to work in the fields and serve her parents-in-law.
It's better to stay, at least you don't have to serve your parents-in-law, and your life will be poorer, but comfortable.
The couple had not had children for many years, and suddenly they had such a child. They discussed it and said that it was just a play, and they said that the wife was already five months pregnant, which happened to be a time when she didn't show her pregnancy very much.
You can continue to install it later.
It was winter at this time, and it rained non-stop. Every day I went out just to see if there was any water in the fields.
Basically can't do much work.
The location where they live is also some distance from the next family, which is convenient for raising children.
Slowly, several days passed, and the rain stopped. Hongxin would come to visit from time to time in the first few days, but when she saw that the little guy looked the same every day, she stopped coming.
Many people in the village were a little surprised when they saw Zhang's pregnancy. Later, they saw that his family had bought a sheep, saying that it would produce milk for the baby.
The mother of the child is getting older and is afraid that she will have no milk by then.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses. When many aunts came to visit, they really couldn't come back to their senses when they saw her pregnant belly.
It wasn't until a few months later, when Ye Dalang was holding a baby, that everyone realized that Zhang's life must have gone too smoothly.
But when I saw the smiles on the faces of the two couples, they almost blossomed, and then I believed that they really had a baby.
I also heard that Mrs. Zhang had a difficult time giving birth to her child. She was devastated and would never have any children in the future.
Therefore, the people in the village are very kind to this little girl. Although Zhang and his wife are usually smiling, in fact, they are very aggressive. It will be difficult for anyone in the village to mess with her, and they will have to make a scene.
Xiao Yeshang grew up under the love of her husband and wife. The family did not let her do any work, and even paid for her to go to school.
She is one of the few girls in the village who can go to school.
