In this way, Liu Jinsheng let out the news and let anyone who wanted to adopt his child adopt it. Like an advertisement, it quickly spread from the village to outside the village, spreading a lot. But no one asked for two or three days. Because the child could not get along with Qu Li, Qu Li stayed with her parents for the past few days and did not allow the child to breastfeed. The breasts were still swollen, but after that, the milk supply stopped.
When she came back from her parents' home that day, she found that no one had come to take care of her child Z. She was a little worried because her husband had made a mess at home alone, and the sloppy clothes of adults and children were piled there and had not been washed.
When she was worried, she saw an old white-haired woman coming from outside the village with a stick and a cloth bag slung over her shoulder. The old woman walked into the main room of Liu Jinsheng's house and looked at the baby in Liu Jinsheng's arms. With a sweet smile on her face and her dimples gleaming with joy, she said, "I have never had a baby in my life and I want to have a child." Liu Jinsheng stared at the old woman with wrinkles on her face, and suddenly remembered that she was Aunt Li from the tofu shop whose man died in her early years.
He speculated that although Aunt Li was no longer in the tofu business, she had made money and was considered a wealthy old man, so he tentatively said, "My dear girl is a girl, and I can't add to your family's incense. Why are you adopting her?"
Aunt Li said, I think men and women are the same, and I think it is more heartbreaking to adopt a girl. Aunt Li also said something about how much she wanted to be nurtured. She sat on a rustling bamboo chair, put her crutches aside, and asked Liu Jinsheng to hold the baby for her. She looked at the baby's pink face. His face was very happy. He took off the cloth bag on his shoulder and handed it to Liu Jinsheng and said, "This bag of rice is for your home. I am willing to adopt the child. You can send it to my home!"
Liu Jinsheng didn't want this bag of rice. He thought that no matter how cheap his life was, his child wouldn't be worth the price of a bag of rice! Just round the corner and said, even if I give you the child to adopt, it won’t work! You are so old and you need someone to take care of yourself. Do you still have the ability to raise children?
Seeing that he refused to take the bag of rice, Aunt Li said, "Don't worry. There are many healthy old people in our village. They said that as long as I can take back a baby, they will help me take care of and raise it." Liu Jinsheng had nothing to say. Qu Li had been standing at the door and said nothing. It was a gloomy sky outside. Like her mood, the reason why she didn't speak was because she was afraid of having children and was afraid of getting into bad luck.
In the hall, Aunt Li took out 10 yuan from her body and gave it to Liu Jinsheng. Liu Jinsheng didn't want it because it was too little. He simply showed his cards: Aunt Li, you should take this bag of rice back and eat it yourself. I don’t want the 10 yuan. If you really want to take the child away or I will take the child out of the village and send it to your home. But I have an idea.
Aunt Li interrupted, tell me what you think. Liu Jinsheng smiled and said, "You have never given birth to a child, so of course you have never been pregnant with a child. Do you know the difficulties of having a child?" Even if I give the child to you for adoption, my wife will not agree! She was pregnant in ten months, and she had no merit but hard work.
Aunt Li asked, what do you mean? Before Liu Jinsheng could answer, the child in Aunt Li's arms began to cry as soon as her mouth flattened. Liu Jinsheng said, so be it! If you are pregnant in ten months, the labor fee is calculated as 100 yuan per month. You have to pay 1,000 yuan, and I will send the child to your home immediately. Aunt Li didn't agree, so she stuffed the child back into Liu Jinsheng's house, left the seat, picked up the bag of rice, and walked out of the door with her crutches.
Qu Li walked into the house and complained to Youwei that it would be nice to let her take her away. This child's horoscope is incompatible with mine. If I keep him at home to raise him, my family will not be peaceful. Liu Jinsheng didn't listen to her, and Qu Li said, "I can't go home if there are children at home. I can't go home. There's no one to do the housework. You see."
She pointed to the dirty clothes that had been piled up in the corner of the main room for many days. Liu Jinsheng felt that his wife was right, and he still wanted to give the child to Aunt Li to adopt, but he had a bit of a stubborn temper. He asked Aunt Li to give 1,000 yuan but didn't want to take it back.
At this moment, he thought that his younger brother Liu Jinhuo was a bachelor, so he planned to foster Jiaogui with him. Liu Jinsheng thought so, so he did so. He took Jiaogui to Liu Jinhuo's place. Liu Jinhuo was lazy, how could he raise a child? As it happened, he got involved with a widow in the village.
The widow, named Ma Guizhen, was kind-hearted and asked Liu Ji to have the child alive, saying that she would help take care of it in the future. Ma Guizhen was also a dead man, and she had no one alive, so she lived a makeshift life with Jixiong. She said she was helping to take care of Jiaogui, but in fact, she did all the work for her.
After that, Qu Li and Ji Sheng returned home and lived a harmonious life. Jisheng is a bit patriarchal and always hopes that Qu Li will give him a boy. During sex, he tries to implement this awareness. Although the couple is very happy together, this matter also puts pressure on Qu Li. She I always worry that if I have another baby, I will still have a girl.
Whenever I see a neighbor couple holding a lively and cute boy on the day of Qingming Festival to worship ancestors, I feel particularly strong. I feel that if I don’t give birth to a boy to continue the family line, I will be sorry for the Liu family’s ancestors. Zong, and men will often say that she is a hen that cannot lay male eggs.
Qu Li seemed to be putting pressure on herself mentally. As time went by, her lower body ached vaguely, so much that she could no longer have sex. Liu Jinsheng took her to the town hospital for a check-up and found that she had a fibroid that needed to be removed.
Qu Li became more and more nervous. She had another check-up on the day she was transferred to the county hospital for surgery. The doctor quietly told Liu Jinsheng the unfortunate news that the tumor on your wife's lower body contained cancer cells and had to be removed together with G. , otherwise your life will be in danger.
Liu Jinsheng was very surprised and had no idea. He just said casually that he should follow the doctor's advice. The doctor immediately asked him to sign. After he put down the pen with which he was signing, he took a long breath and finished speaking, not to mention the birth of a son. At this moment, he looked at a family planning poster on the wall showing a son, a daughter, and a flower, and let out a wry smile.
After Qu Li had the operation, she stayed in the hospital for a few days and came out before it was time to be discharged. She found that her husband was obviously indifferent to her. Of course she understood this. Removing the vagina meant that she would lose favor with her husband from now on. . What worries her husband and her even more is that the surgery cost more than 30,000 yuan of the family's savings over the past 5 or 6 years.
The more than 30,000 yuan was earned through hard work by her and her husband from growing ramie. Now, because of her, all the money was sent to the hospital. She came home unhappy, and her husband was sullen and silent. After Qu Li's surgery, she did not fully recover and could hardly do any heavy housework. She spent most of the day lying or sitting. Occasionally she looked out the window at the gray sky, feeling as depressed as her own mood, so she quietly Let out a sigh.
Liu Jinsheng didn't want to accompany her and always walked around outside. When a neighbor asked how Mrs. Qu Li was doing, he mumbled insincerely that she was fine. Or snort and answer speciously, or ask rhetorically, what if I am cured after surgery to remove my penis? More of a patient than a patient.
