"Third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, Qing'er, you must visit me when you are free!" she said.

"My mother keeps me locked in the house every day and doesn't let me go out. I'm almost suffocated to death," she added.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Tan came over.

"Silly girl, what do you know?"

"For this pregnant woman, the baby didn't take root in the first three months, so she had to cover it up."

"The water outside has not gone away at the moment. What should you do if you fall and knock yourself? My mother-in-law, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Mrs. Tan asked Ms. Shuanzi.

Shuanzi Niang nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense."

After hearing this, Sun and Bao Suyun didn't have much to say and left.

On the way back to the backyard, Bao Suyun said to Sun: "Be more careful in the first three and last three months. I agree."

"But I'm afraid that Mei'er will become more and more fragile like this. I was so pregnant that I had to cover it up because I was not well."

"I'm covering my back, and I'm getting weaker and weaker, ugh!" Bao Suyun shook her head.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "It's only because of that condition that I covered it up. If your eldest sister-in-law and your fourth sister-in-law and I were together, we would still be doing what we should do!"

"Go behind the boy, actually your sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter." Sun said.

"oh?"

Bao Suyun was surprised.

Yang Ruoqing also raised her eyebrows.

"I've never heard of it. Where is that cousin?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.

Sun said: "Died young."

"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised.

"Mom, tell me quickly," she urged.

Mrs. Sun then continued: "It was the time to pick cotton at that time."

"I remember it was noon. I originally picked them with her, but later I went back to the village to have lunch, leaving your aunt to pick them alone."

"She was more than nine months pregnant at that time. Maybe she had a stomachache, so she gave birth to a daughter while squatting in a ditch."

"The umbilical cord was bitten off by oneself. There was no place to put the baby, so your aunt turned the straw hat upside down on her head."

"There are a few cotton buds placed inside, and the child puts them on top of the cotton and drags them around."

"I cooked lunch and went to pick her up in the cotton field."

"As soon as I reached the pond, I saw her coming towards the entrance of the village. She was holding a child in her hand. A piece of the child's umbilical cord was dragged on the ground, like a piece of pig intestine..."

"hiss……"

Bao Suyun took a breath of cold air.

"Sister-in-law, it's easier to give birth to a baby than a hen laying eggs!" she said.

Sun shook her head: "There is nothing we can do."

Yang Ruoqing interrupted the two of them: "Mom, fifth aunt, this is not the point. The point is how many children did the cousin raise who died in infancy? And why did they die in infancy?"

Bao Suyun is also very concerned about this issue, and both of them are waiting for Sun's next step.

Mrs. Sun continued: "He died before he was even out of confinement, probably for more than ten days."

"Uncle Fu, the old village doctor, said that the child had umbilical cord disease, perhaps because it was not cured when he was born!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun sighed.

"If the child had not died in infancy, he would have been married and had a baby by now."

"Your aunt is a hard-working person and has raised four sons. If she had another daughter to help her wash clothes and do needlework, it might be better than now!"

Yang Ruoqing and Bao Suyun both agreed with this.

In this era, in a typical farming society, the son was the backbone of the family.

There is never too many men.
