"Sister-in-law, can you tell mother and let me drink a bowl of sugar water? I really don't have the energy to give birth..."
On the bed, Mrs. Zhao was sweating profusely, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her sweat-damp hair stuck to her face. She was looking at the woman standing tall beside her bed with a pleading look on her face.
Zhao's belly was bulging and she was giving birth, but she had been giving birth for a day and a night, and her strength had long been exhausted. At this moment, she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands. She knew clearly that if she didn't eat something, she would
She couldn't give birth to this child.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you making things difficult for me? It's not like you don't know what kind of character our mother is. If you give birth to a baby for your third brother, can you drink sugar water and not give it to me? You'd better work harder and do it as soon as possible.
Give birth to her, otherwise it will not be good if she continues like this."
Mrs. Li was very embarrassed and said to Ms. Zhao that if her second sibling, Mrs. Zhou, had not returned to her parents' home, the job of delivering the baby to Ms. Zhao would not have fallen solely on her. She would not have been able to give birth even after a day and night, which was extremely unlucky.
The one inside her must be a debt collector. Half of Zhao's life was ruined even before she was born.
Now it is the autumn harvest in August, and the whole family has gone to the fields. My mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, is taking a nap in the main room. She said early in the morning not to disturb her until she was born. Mrs. Wang is not easy to get along with, and Mrs. Li does not want to see her mother-in-law.
face.
Mrs. Li's disgusted look was clearly visible, which made Mrs. Zhao feel despair in her heart.
Mrs. Zhao swallowed her dry throat and prayed: "Sister-in-law, can you give me a bowl of water? Please."
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and said impatiently: "Then just wait, I'll pour it for you when I get to the hut."
After saying that, Ms. Li turned around and left. As she walked, she slapped her nose with her hand and muttered, "It stinks so bad."
Mrs. Li opened the door and opened it again, causing the briefly bright room to return to darkness in an instant.
Mrs. Zhao raised her hand to touch her belly with difficulty, tears streaming from her eyes.
Li left and didn't come back for half an hour.
During this period, Zhao had several labor pains, but she had no strength at all. As the movement in her belly became smaller and smaller, her heart gradually became colder.
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Hope rekindled in Zhao's eyes, and she shouted tremblingly: "Sister-in-law..."
"Mom, it's me, are you okay?"
Su Sanmei's voice was thin, and she walked to the bedside and looked at Mrs. Zhao worriedly.
When Mrs. Zhao heard her daughter's voice, she felt a little sad. She knew that Mrs. Li would not come over for an hour or two, and she could only rely on herself if she wanted to have a baby.
"Third sister, go get a bowl of water for mother."
"Don't be afraid, Mom will be fine."
Mrs. Zhao said weakly that she could not fall. If she fell, what would happen to her child?
Su Sanmei's eyes were full of worry and fear, but she still ran out obediently, used a bowl to get Zhao a bowl of cold water, and carefully supported Zhao to drink it.
Mrs. Zhao drank some water, took a breath and then said: "Third sister, come and press Mom's belly. When Mom asks you to push hard, push down..."
She didn't have the strength to give birth to the baby on her own. Mrs. Li, who delivered her baby, left and stopped coming. The baby in her belly moved less and less. She knew she had to give birth to the baby immediately so that the baby could survive.
.
Su Sanmei was only six years old. Because she was thin and not very strong, she pressed her little hand on Zhao's belly and immediately retracted it tremblingly. She cried and said, "Mom, I don't dare."
Mrs. Zhao shed tears, took a breath and said firmly: "Third sister, you can do it. Only you can save my mother's life. Come on, push down as hard as you can."
Zhao's body was shaking when the labor pain came, but she was afraid that Su Sanmei wouldn't dare to push, so she endured the pain and said tremblingly: "Sanmei, if you don't dare, mother will die..."
"No, I don't want my mother to die, I want my mother to live..."
Su Sanmei closed her eyes and pushed Zhao's belly hard.
Zhao also gathered her strength and exerted her strength, and the severe pain in her body made her scream: "Ah——"
With a slight weight on her body, Zhao lost all her strength in an instant. She gasped hard and said: "Third sister... let's see if it's sister... or brother..."
Su Sanmei was frightened and stood dumbly for a long time without moving.
The outer door was pushed open, and Mrs. Li hurried in.
"Third sister, I'm sorry. I had a stomachache just now. I thought you wouldn't be able to give birth for a while, but I didn't expect you to give birth just now."
"Let me see what it is."
As Li said this, he walked to the bed and lifted the quilt.
Mrs. Zhao's heart was aroused. At this time, she couldn't care less about blaming Mrs. Li. She just wanted to know the gender of the child.
Mrs. Li turned to look at her and said with a smile in her eyes: "Third brother and sister, congratulations, you have added another daughter to your family."
Zhao's expectant eyes dimmed for a moment, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Mrs. Li happily packed up the baby, wiped it casually, cut the umbilical cord, wrapped it up in old clothes, and slapped the baby girl on the butt.
"Wow--"
The baby girl cried.
Mrs. Li put the child down next to Mrs. Zhao and said with a smile: "Third brother and sister, please have a good rest. I will go and announce the good news to my mother first."
With that said, Mrs. Li turned around and went out without even looking at Mrs. Zhao.
Soon only Mrs. Zhao and Su Sanmei were left in the room.
Su Sanmei had been standing by the bed. She was so frightened when she saw Zhao's empty eyes that she cried out: "Mother..."
Zhao didn't respond.
Su Sanmei's voice was weak: "Mom, I'm afraid..."
Zhao's empty eyes became brighter, and tears fell silently.
"Third sister..."
Mrs. Zhao's voice was choked and full of despair. After giving birth to a daughter, their family had no life. Of her four children, the eldest was stupid and the second was stupid when she had a fever. The two daughters were healthy, but the daughter was useless in the eyes of her mother-in-law.
ah.
"Mom, don't cry. Third sister will take good care of her."
Su Sanmei knelt in front of the bed, holding Zhao's hand and said.
Mrs. Zhao turned her head and glanced at her newborn fourth daughter. The little girl had just been beaten and cried a few times and then became quiet. At this moment, she didn't actually fall asleep, but seemed to be looking at her with her eyes open.
Mrs. Zhao's nose was very sore and her tears were flowing silently. Her mother-in-law would definitely not like having a daughter and would not give her good food. She might not even have a mouthful of milk. I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to feed her daughter.
.
I was pregnant in ten months, and my heart aches when I think about her. She must have been a heinous sinner in her previous life, so God punishes her like this in this life!
"Another loser is born. It's really useless. If I were her, I would be so ashamed that I would just kill her..."
"Why did my old Su family marry such a scourge who specializes in wreaking havoc!"
Wang's curses were heard from the other side of the main room, and they were both unpleasant and unpleasant to hear.
