Guangping Village under the jurisdiction of Lingshan County, Anzhou County of the Daqian Dynasty. The sun was scorching in the sky. At a house in Guangping Village, the people in the yard were a little panicked, as if something had happened.
"Could this be the Ling family's sister-in-law who is about to give birth?" Someone couldn't help but ask as they watched Ling Daren of the Ling family rushing home with the midwife.
"No way? This sister-in-law of the Ling family has only been pregnant for seven months. It stands to reason that even if she gave birth prematurely, it would not be so early. It should be due to miscarriage or physical discomfort."
"You can't be wrong, Grandma Wang is here, she is 100% expecting a baby."
"Oh, I'm afraid something big will happen if you give birth so prematurely. You might die early."
"Second sister-in-law of the Zhou family doesn't want to have such a venomous tongue as you. Although premature labor is not easy to give birth to, human life is at stake, and it is not a good idea to hate others."
"Bah, bah, bah, it's my fault, I lost my tongue." Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family hurriedly changed her words.
In ancient times, giving birth to a child was a big event. In ancient times, there were only natural births, not caesarean sections. In the event of a difficult birth, it would be a matter of killing two people. No one would curse people at this critical moment. As the saying goes: when a son is born, the mother dies. There is a layer of paper between life and death.
"I'm afraid the Ling family is going to have another baby girl." There was an inexplicable silence, and the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family began to talk again.
"How do you know it's a girl?"
"You can't be wrong. They have given birth to girls three times in a row, and this baby is definitely still a girl. Alas, the Daren family just doesn't have the life of a boy. No matter how many more children are born, it will be in vain. I feel sorry for the sister-in-law of the Ling family." The second sister-in-law of the Zhou family. Sighing, seeming to feel some sympathy.
"Xu, don't say this in front of old man Ling, otherwise he will fight you to the death. You don't know that their family is already weak. They only have one son when they grow up. They are looking forward to the stars and the moon and finally let him get married. After getting married, I originally wanted to spend money as soon as possible, but who would have thought..."
"Yes, this sister-in-law Daren has given birth to three girls in a row. If she has another baby girl, the Ling family may be cut off."
"Who in the village doesn't know that their families are almost blinded by their longing for a boy. During festivals, the ancestral temple in the village is the most popular, but in the end, it is all in vain."
"If you always speak sincerely, Guanyin will also appear..."
The people enjoying the shade under the trees at the village bridge were chattering away, and some who wanted to watch the excitement got up and walked towards the Ling family's house to the east.
Old Man Ling was sitting on the big stone at the entrance of the yard, smoking a dry pipe silently. His son Ling Daren was not as calm as Old Man Ling, and was currently wandering around like headless flies.
The two girls followed their father. The third baby was only two years old and probably didn't know anything. He just lay quietly in the arms of the second baby, blinking constantly.
The five-year-old Erba couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard the movement in the room. His eyes kept flashing, and his sunburned face showed worry and anxiety from time to time.
At the age of five, she already knew that if there were no boys in the family, their family would have no hope. Not to mention being bullied in the village, even if she got married, she would still have to work hard and be bullied by her husband's family. Without the support of her mother's family, she would be like duckweed.
As the saying goes, "If a family has five tiger generals, half of them will be a local emperor." Ling Yun, who grew up in the countryside, knows this very well. If a family has many children, no one dares to offend them when they run rampant in the village. However, those without sons will only be punished by others. Bullying.
"Okay, it's not the first time Yumei has given birth. Why are you so worried? You're spinning around in front of me like this, making me dizzy." Old man Ling's eyebrows were solemn, and there was a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Ling Ren frowned and was silent for a moment, then his eye circles turned slightly red, and he said with a sad face: "Dad, isn't my son worried about giving birth to a loser again this time? Besides, Yumei's pregnancy is only seven months old. If she is in bad shape,
I'm afraid it will cut off the incense of our old Ling family."
With a restless expression, he looked at his father and saw that his father was silent.
A heartbreaking voice came from the room, making him even more irritable and restless, his fingers trembling slightly. At this moment, he was not only worried about whether he would have a baby girl, but also worried about what might happen to his wife...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but panic.
"Nonsense, our old Ling family has been through ups and downs for so many years, and nothing has happened to us. Haven't we survived it all? Besides, I think Yumei, this child, has her own destiny, and she will definitely do it.
Turning danger into safety."
Old Man Ling scolded his son categorically, holding the welding handle tightly in his right hand and smoking a dry cigarette, surrounded by smoke.
"Besides, you are still young... As long as Yumei is okay, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, and the next time. You were only born in this world when I was 30 years old. I believe that this time the boy from our old Ling family will not
Too far."
After hearing this, Ling Ren quickly nodded in agreement, and his anxious heart calmed down a little. He secretly firmly believed in his heart that he must give birth to a boy, a boy who is upright and upright, so that these people who look down on others will look up to him with admiration.
In the delivery room, Grandma Wang was encouraging the Ling family's daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liang, was also anxiously waiting on the side. The eldest baby was running around non-stop, heating hot water, carrying water, and changing cloths.
"Darenjia, try harder, try harder, the old lady has already seen the baby's fetal hair. It's about to come out, and you will definitely get your wish this time."
Grandma Wang kept encouraging Mr. Yang at the critical moment, while Ms. Liang, the mother-in-law beside her, kept helping Mr. Yang wipe away her sweat.
In my heart, I imagined how great it would be if my daughter-in-law could give birth to a boy this time, and the Ling family would have a successor.
"Yumei, if you work harder, the baby will come out."
Yang was lying on the bed covered in sweat, with dry straw under her body, her wet hair stuck randomly to her forehead, her eyebrows were knitted together, her eyes were almost bulging out of her sockets, and her nose was flaring.
, panting rapidly, his voice already hoarse.
His hands tightly grasped the straw that had been soaked with sweat, veins popped out on his forehead and arms, and he kept exerting force on his lower body.
"Ah, it hurts, mother, I'm afraid I can't survive." Yang screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Don't be discouraged Yumei, put some ginseng in your mouth and try harder, the last... will come out in one go." Ms. Liang's heart almost jumped to her heart, and she kept encouraging Ms. Yang.
At this time, Yang's face suddenly turned livid, his whole face was twisted like a machine, his teeth were creaking, and he wanted to bite them into pieces.
The ginseng was squirming hard in her mouth, and her chapped lips could not make a sound. She opened her hands, desperately trying to grab something, and used all her strength again and again. Her fingers were turning white, but she
Never give up.
Ling Yun's body suddenly trembled, and when he regained consciousness, he felt like he was soaking in a hot spring.
My whole body felt warm, and I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. I couldn't help but think to myself: Where is this place? Didn't he fall into the ravine? He seemed to have seen grandma, am I dead?
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts sprang up in Ling Yun's mind. A sudden cold hit him, and he immediately felt an inexplicable force pulling his body.
Pulling it down hard made him shudder. He was so frightened that he subconsciously resisted and kicked his feet to shrink back.
All of a sudden, I heard a commotion outside, and in a trance, I heard who was giving birth? Could it be that I was already in the hospital? Or... maybe, it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Ling Yun was so shocked that his pores suddenly trembled. He just changed his mind and thought, regardless of whether it was because of it or not, he stopped struggling to avoid death in the fetus and let his body squeeze out on its own and slide down along the force.
"Ah..." "Wow, wow, wow..." The heartbreaking voice sounded, followed by the baby's cry that echoed throughout the sky.
"The Dashan family has given birth. It's a boy." Grandma Wang held the baby in her slightly trembling hands. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mrs. Liang with a smile.
She was only seven months pregnant, and this was the first time she encountered such a difficult delivery. Not only was it thrilling, but even though she was holding the child in her hands, she still found it unbelievable. It was really surprising that this child could come into this world.
"Really...really? Are you really a boy?" Mrs. Liang had just reacted to her daughter-in-law's scream. When she heard that it was a boy, her inner panic disappeared. In an instant, she came to Grandma Wang and lifted the cotton cloth, ***
caught in the eye.
With tears streaming down her face, she held the baby and giggled, and kept saying: "It's a boy, it's a boy. My old Ling family finally has a daughter."
While Ms. Liang was weeping with joy, Ling Daren, who heard the sound of a baby, broke in the door in an instant and saw his mother and Grandma Wang looking at the child and giggling.
"Mom, are you giving birth yet?" Ling Daren stepped forward nervously and asked.
"Give birth, give birth, it's a boy." Mrs. Liang said happily with a grin.
No one knew what Ling Daren was thinking in his heart at this moment. For a few long minutes, he went from nervousness, fear, to excitement, and it felt like he had gone through a cycle.
From the initial expectations, to praying that Yumei would be safe, and now such a surprise, even though he was nearly 2 years old, he was still in a daze. For a moment, he was stunned, and soon he bent down and looked down at the baby in his arms with a naive smile.
.
"Silly boy, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and show the child to Yumei." Mrs. Liang, who was smiling, handed the packed child into Ling Ren's hands. Looking at her stunned son, she couldn't help but push him.
After reacting, Ling Daren carefully caught the child, looked at the child in his arms, and was so happy that his mouth almost split open to his ears.
"That's great, Daren, you see this child is really blessed. My little sweet grandson, you really give our family something to look forward to." Mrs. Liang said softly to the child in her arms kindly.
"No, my wife, I have delivered babies for most of my life, and there is really no one as smart as you, my sister-in-law. I will definitely be a great person in the future, maybe even a literary star." On this happy day, Wang
Grandma said a lot of nice things.
Ling Daren was curious about his son for a while, and then carefully placed the child next to Yang.
"Yumei, thank you for your hard work." Looking at Yang who was sweating profusely and looking tired, Ling Daren smiled slightly and said softly.
"This is what I should do." Tears streaked down her haggard face. After all, it was because the Ling family had fulfilled their dream of a man. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and her cry turned into a smile, and she struggled to sit up.
"Don't move, Yumei, just lie down." Looking at Yang who was about to get up, Ling Daren hurriedly stopped him.
"Daren's family, just lie down and I'll make some chicken soup so you can make milk. We can't starve our family's great hero and little darling grandson." Ms. Liang said and went out.
Grandma Wang had just left the delivery room with Mrs. Liang, and the old man came forward with three babies to inquire.
"How's it going? It sounds like you've given birth to a baby? Is it a boy? Really?" Old Man Ling couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly pulled Ms. Liang and asked.
Mrs. Liang smiled happily and said happily: "Yes, yes, now our Ling family finally has a heir."
As soon as he said this, Old Man Ling said hello several times with red eyes, and then gave Grandma Wang some money as a reward.
Grandma Wang got money, and the Ling family had a new son. Everyone was happy, everyone was happy!
