The two families were not far apart, and soon they arrived in front of Ma's courtyard. The door was open, and Ma Zhaodi's cry was heard.
I heard Ma Dafeng's daughter-in-law say, "Zhao Di, why don't you say that's your real father? Just go to the brigade headquarters and say that you volunteered to rescue your father. Do you hear me?"
"I...I won't go!" Ma Zhaodi cried, "I don't want to be a child bride. It's against the law for you to do this. I still have to study."
"You have to go even if you don't want to. Your father gave your grandma the money. If you don't want it back, what will you do if you don't go and get the money?"
"Mom, shouldn't it be the uncle who spends money on my first cousin's wife? Why should he sell me out?"
Ye Lan saw a strange smile on Gu Mingtang's face.
She didn't know what Gu Mingtang was laughing at. Wasn't this something very angry? Why was he laughing?
Ma Dafeng's wife's name is Li Hua. She said with a grimace, "What can I do? It's all because you are girls. You are all losers. You are useless after leaving the house. I also blame your mother for not being able to live up to my expectations for my stomach. When dad gives birth to a son, your dad and I will look after your eldest cousin to support him in his old age. Can't we be nicer to him?"
Ma Zhaodi said, "Mom, my cousin doesn't care about you now. When you get old, will they care about you?"
Ye Lan's eyes lit up.
I hadn't noticed before, but I didn't expect that Ma Zhaodi was only ten years old and had such a powerful mouth.
Gu Mingtang entered the yard and saw someone coming in. Li Hua stopped talking. Ma Zhaodi saw that it was Gu Mingtang. For some reason, she felt a sense of grievance in her heart and cried harder.
Li Hua glanced at Gu Mingtang uncomfortably. Boss Gu had just arrived and said that Ma Dafeng had lured the wolf into the house. When Ma Dafeng came back, he would never spare him.
"Um, Tangtang, Ma Dafeng really didn't mean it, I'm sorry..."
Gu Mingtang waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, I don't blame you. You were also implicated by Ma Dafeng, otherwise you would have several sons now."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Li Hua's eyes widened.
Ma Zhaodi also forgot to cry.
"You don't know yet. Oh, it's not your fault. It's just Ma Dafeng's fault for hiding it from you. In fact, it is men who decide whether to have boys or girls." She glanced at Ma Zhaodi and said, "Zhaodi, take Niuniu and sister to play in the yard. meeting."
Ma Zhaodi wiped away her tears, obediently picked up Niuniu and took her two sisters out.
Li Hua was a little confused.
Looking at Gu Mingtang with wide eyes, "Tangtang, what do you mean?"
"Let me tell you, this time Lu Liangzhou came back from the city and told me that the body shape actually determines whether a boy or a girl will be born."
Ye Lan whispered from the side, "Chromosomes."
"Yes, yes, it's chromosomes. There is a relative in his family who came back from studying abroad. He seems to be the director of a hospital. He said that too many women are deceived by men now. Women give birth to Whether the child is a boy or a girl is decided by the man. Sister-in-law, think about it, even if the soil is fertile when we farm, can you grow corn from a radish seed?"
Ye Lan burst into laughter.
After laughing, I was shocked.
She hadn't laughed for a long, long time.
Li Hua opened her mouth wide, "Then...that's definitely not possible."
"So, my relatives, the dean of my family, said that if you sow melons, you will get beans. If a woman doesn't have a boy, that's because men are not good. It has nothing to do with women. But men are bad. In order to shirk responsibility, for hundreds of years, Blame all this on women.”
Not being able to give birth to a boy is Li Hua's heartache.
When I went to my husband's house, I couldn't even lift my head.
"Also, I read in a fairy tale that some little boys have so many things to do that they have to choose someone for reincarnation. Those whose family conditions are not good will not like to come. If you look carefully, there are some in our village. Boy, look at how many of them have a house as messy as yours?"
Li Hua didn't care about anything else, but she was serious about this matter.
Thinking back on it, he nodded, "That's what you said."
"Besides, I don't understand how you sold your daughter to Zhao Di's cousin to get a wife. I have a father and a mother, so why should I give you an aunt to support me in old age? Who do you think you are? Look at our village, there are so many The daughter-in-law is angry, but there are also many people who abuse the elderly. Have you forgotten who used to live in that cellar in the north of the village? "
I haven’t forgotten that Mrs. Liu once lived there, and she had four biological sons. However, no one could support her when she got old, so she was driven into a cellar and the whole family was given a meal for a day. Later, the eldest son stopped going. , the second child saw that if you don’t go, I won’t go either. In the end, the old lady starved to death alive.
"You, taste it carefully. It's not like Lao Ma's family has no money. Why should you sell your daughter? Let me tell you, this is illegal."
"But I can't get the money back."
"I'm just kidding, that's stolen money, illegal income, and the police will come to collect it. Just pretend you don't know. Ansheng is living at home. If someone says you can't give birth to a son, you'll rely on Ma Dafeng. Just say he was the one who harmed you. Look, you are taller and more capable than Ma Dafeng. Why are you asking him to beat him on the kang? If Lu Liangzhou dares to do this to me, I will dare to tie him up and cut off his flesh piece by piece with a knife. …”
Lu Liangzhou, who was far away in a secret base in a certain country, felt a chill all over his body, and then sneezed several times in succession.
The assistant next to him asked with concern.
Lu Liangzhou waved his hand, said it was okay, and then continued working.
On the way back, Ye Lan gave Gu Mingtang a rare smile and said, "I really admire you. If you are the women's director, you will definitely do a good job."
Gu Mingtang shook his head, "I can't get rid of the dirt in my eyes. If you offend me, no matter how miserable your life is, I will be indifferent. On the contrary, I can help each other." After a pause, she said , "So, I'm not suitable."
Ye Lan put away the smile on her face and said in a hoarse voice, "Tangtang, if I didn't report to you, wouldn't you have come to say this to me?"
"Of course, you are full of malice towards me. What does it have to do with me whether you live or die?"
Ye Lan stared blankly at Gu Mingtang standing in front of her.
It was very cold today, and she was wearing a nice-looking mask, revealing only a pair of watery, but cold and heartless eyes.
She stood upright in front of her, a few centimeters taller than her, with picturesque features. Although her voice was gentle, she said the most ruthless words.
Ye Lan turned around and entered the yard with the child in her arms.
He never looked back at Gu Mingtang.
But deep down, I don't know why I'm so hot. Gu Mingtang, Gu Mingtang, I should hate you, but... I just feel that you are as cool as a queen at this moment.
She decided to apply for the Public Security University.
Gu Mingtang curled his lips, women like to hear sweet words, she is not trying to scare her, she is telling the truth.
Just like during the snowstorm, she noticed something was wrong with the Liu family, and also noticed Ye Lan's desperate mood. At a glance, she even saw a piece of hair missing from her head.
