There are two paper figures, one large and one small. The older paper figure is wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and has short hair that reaches the ears. The smaller paper figure is wearing a red bellyband, pigtails, red lips, and stands with two pairs of eyes without eyes. At the door, the paper clothes on my body rustled as the wind blew.
It looks like they are two girls.
Behind the paper man are burning paper flying all over the sky. The unburned paper money is mixed with the paper money burned to ashes and fluttering in the wind. The scene is a bit messy.
The two paper figures were swayed back and forth by the wind, and the bamboo skeletons creaked loudly, as if they were trying to break into the house while talking.
Liu Wenbin was so angry that he quickly put out the burning paper money with a broom, then kicked the two paper figures up the stairs angrily.
The half-burned ashes were flying wildly in the north wind like black butterflies. The two paper figures that fell on the stairs were also shattered, revealing a bamboo frame and a corner of an old newspaper.
What’s funny is that the black and white words on the newspaper say “Destroy the Four Olds” and believe in science but not superstition.
"Liu Wenbin, you are trying to kill Xiaolan and the child! These two paper figures are the substitutes I specially asked the goddess to make! You broke the paper figures, and the paper money cannot be burned and cannot be sent to them. Your wife and children You can’t blame me if you die!”
The skinny old woman was so angry that she puffed out from her mouth. She huffed and walked downstairs, just in time to meet Sister Wang Xiaoling who was walking up.
He raised his head and glared angrily, without even saying a greeting.
The old woman is Liu Wenbin's wife, Fang Jinhua, and the man is the deputy county magistrate of Lianhua County. She is a real official's wife.
She jumped from an illiterate old country woman to a government wife. She looked like an inflated balloon. Her eyes were on her eyebrows and she looked down on others at all.
She has been in a state of expansion for a long time, which is really called being arrogant.
She had been opposed to her eldest son Liu Wenbin's marriage from the beginning.
The daughter-in-law, Wang Xiaolan, is pretty and has a formal job. She is also from Lianhua County. The Wang family's parents were both formal workers, so they are considered to be well matched.
The reason for the objection is very strange. The Wang family can only have daughters, but they are afraid that daughters will still have daughters. According to the current regulations, regular workers can only have one child, so Liu Wenbin's lineage will be cut off.
Her worries really came true.
When Wang Xiaolan gave birth to her daughter, her face turned into a donkey's face, and she said some nice things in front of her daughter-in-law.
She wanted to give the child away to find someone to raise her, saying that the child would die at birth and that she would give birth to another child in a year.
He also said that Wang Xiaolan was a loser, and she went through a lot of trouble to give birth to a child and gave birth to a loser.
Wang Xiaolan was so angry that she couldn't think about it anymore, so she dragged her weak body to the hospital bathroom and hanged herself.
After this incident, Liu Wenbin couldn't even attend to work, so he simply asked for leave to come back and take care of his wife and children.
Fang Jinhua didn't help with anything except talking nonsense.
If the diapers are not washed, the meals will not be cooked, and Liu Jianshe is on a business trip during this period. Liu Wenbin can only take care of the children's diapers, wash the diapers and cook by himself.
Who would have thought that when she went out to buy chickens, Fang Jinhua would cause trouble again!
That's it for Wang Xiaoling. The eighteen-year-old girl is not married yet, so she can't keep her face and make trouble, but the boss Wang Xiaoni is not someone to be trifled with.
Listening to the sister upstairs crying with a hoarse voice, Wang Xiaoni got angry and swung her arms to come up and beat Fang Jinhua.
Fortunately, Yao Jingping stopped him.
She recognized this skinny old woman. She was the one who had made a big fuss with Zhou Chang'e in the ward. She was an unreasonable piece of meat. If she was really injured, Wang Xiaolan would be even more miserable in the future.
"Let's go upstairs to see your second sister first!"
"Fight, if you can, then fight. Believe it or not, I will ask Wenbin's father to arrest you!"
Fang Jinhua hurriedly ran to the first floor. When she saw someone starting a fight, she knew that she would not suffer. She held her neck and screamed at the top of her voice.
It was just a waste of saliva and no one paid attention to her.
Liu Wenbin had already brought Wang Xiaoni and others into the house. Once the door was closed, no one responded even though she tore her throat.
"Humph, why are you so particular about the movie after giving birth to a girl? Go to the hospital and spend money and let so many people see you ugly! It's not embarrassing enough! You still want me to serve you! What a beautiful thought..."
The old woman cursed angrily and went downstairs.
Liu Wenbin also recognized Yao Jingping at this moment, shouted repeatedly that the savior was coming, and told his wife, who was lying sickly and bloodless on the bed, that the girl in front of her was the expert doctor who saved her life in the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaolan opened her eyes and struggled to get up from the bed with tears in her eyes to talk to Yao Jingping.
She was terrified of her own suicide.
If she really died, according to her mother-in-law's virtue, she would not be able to tolerate the child. I'm afraid the child would really be sent away by her.
And Wen Bin, he was so good to her, so if something happened to her, would he go crazy?
She held Yao Jingping's hand and refused to let go of anything. She was so excited that she couldn't speak incoherently, and she repeatedly said words of gratitude like a rolling wheel.
Sisters Wang Xiaoni and Wang Xiaoling realized that Yao Jingping had saved Wang Xiaolan once, and they were even more grateful.
The boss, Wang Xiaoni, has a hot temper and is always scolding.
Yao Jingping comforted her and asked the mother to lie down and rest, and signaled Wang Xiaoni, who was cursing, not to say any more unpleasant words and to pay attention to calming the mother's emotions.
Postpartum depression is easy to occur, not to mention a mother-in-law like Fang Jinhua. If you don't get psychological relief in time, some accidents are really easy to happen.
"What a coincidence. I was staying in a hotel, and when I heard Xiaoling talking about it, I came over to help take a look. Who would have thought that I would meet an acquaintance."
After exchanging a few words, Yao Jingping hurriedly checked on the child's condition.
The little baby was lying in the swaddling clothes, waving and squirming uncomfortably with his little body, and making weak cries from his little mouth.
Yao Jingping immediately saw the problem.
The quilt that swaddled the child was too thick, and it was wrapped as tightly as a rice dumpling. The quilt was specially tied with red cloth strips several times on the swaddling clothes. The child's body was too restrained, and the heat from the body could not be dissipated. When I came out, it was so hot that I had a fever.
"The child had a low-grade fever, about 37 degrees Celsius. He drank too little milk and did not feed the child water in time. The quilt was too thick and tightly wrapped. The child peed and felt uncomfortable. Naturally, he would cry non-stop."
"My mother-in-law insisted on wrapping it up like this. She said it was cold, so it would be warm if it was wrapped tightly..."
Wang Xiaolan became a mother for the first time and didn't know how to take care of her baby. She was weak and had no choice but to let Fang Jinhua do whatever she wanted.
She was so sad that she burst into tears, hating herself for being too weak to protect her child.
Yao Jingping opened the swaddling clothes and checked the child's condition. The child was developing well. She was a fair and chubby little girl. She was not in good spirits because of a low fever.
I helped change the diaper, and asked Liu Wenbin to help change a slightly thinner quilt and wrap it looser. Then I asked him to mix some milk powder. After drinking the milk powder, he fed him some warm water with a small spoon.
The little guy was obviously hungry, so Wang Xiaoni held the baby and drank more than 20 ml of milk powder.
After eating and drinking, he felt much better and the child finally fell asleep peacefully.
"Thank you, thank you. I still don't know what to call the girl."
Seeing Yao Jingping finish watching the child and then coming over to check on his wife, Liu Wenbin asked with a grateful look on his face.
"My sister-in-law's name is Yao Jingjing, and her eldest brother is a veteran! Second sister, don't worry, my sister-in-law is very capable. She will definitely be able to look after it for you, and even show it to the eldest sister! You have to stop thinking so much these days. I swap shifts with my colleagues. I'll help you during the day, and ask my brother-in-law to help you more at night. Just get over it..."
Wang Xiaoling looked at the lifeless second sister and felt terribly distressed.
He was listless, his face was sallow, his mouth was bloody, he had disheveled hair, and he was so thin that his eyes were sunken.
Yao Jingping felt bad.
Giving birth to a child is a journey away from death. Wang Xiaolan did not receive good care after giving birth to the child, her body was not cultivated, and she was mentally tortured by her unscrupulous mother-in-law. It was really sad to force her mother-in-law to do such a thing.
She has found out why.
The mother-in-law had started breastfeeding, but her mother-in-law made such a fuss that she did not feed the baby properly. The baby was hungry and she blocked the milk, causing inflammation of the mammary glands, which caused a high fever.
"You guys stay out of the way. I'll massage the mother's breasts. Xiaoling will help me find some clean cabbage leaves and two clean towels."
Once she found the cause of the problem, it was easier to solve. Massaging the meridians was a piece of cake for her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Wenbin went to the first floor to make chicken soup. My mother gave up her position as the shopkeeper, so he had no choice but to do it by himself.
Wang Xiaoni also followed downstairs. She has a hot temper and can't keep her temper. She must talk to Jinhua about this matter! If you mess with her again, beat her!
The hateful old woman was nowhere to be found. There was a pile of diapers and clothes to be changed in the yard on the first floor. Wang Xiaoni squatted in the yard while washing and scolding.
When I am not taking care of the children or cooking and taking care of my frail daughter-in-law, I am still in the mood to walk around with my bow legs. How can I be so free! Why is your heart so big?
Fang Jinhua didn't go far, she was sleeping in the bedroom on the first floor.
Fang Jinhua, who was hiding in the room and sleeping under a quilt, heard Wang Xiaoni's yelling and scolding, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Humph, we'll see!
