Jiang Qingshan did not take Lingbao's words seriously, thinking that his daughter was just kind-hearted and wanted to comfort him. After all, he had no feeling at all below his chest. The doctor said that he had a transverse spinal injury and would have to stay in bed for the rest of his life.
Shen Su'e had seen the power of Lingbao before and knew that she was no ordinary little girl. After her husband fell asleep, she pulled Lingbao out of the room and asked in a low voice: "Lingbao, can you really cure your father?"
"Yes!" The little baby nodded with a smile, "As long as you add Lingbao's blood to the water that daddy drinks and the food he eats, within seven days, daddy will be able to get out of bed, walk, and play with Lingbao."
Shen Su'e firmly believed in Lingbao's words.
Thinking that her child's father would be able to walk soon, she felt happy and excited. "When the time comes, let your father ride a high horse for you, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" The little baby held her mother's hand and jumped up and down.
Seeing her daughter's joyful expression, Shen Su'e couldn't help but feel happy. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and the smile on her face gradually faded away.
"Listen to Mom," she said seriously, touching the baby's head, "You must never tell anyone else that your blood can cure diseases!"
Lingbao blinked twice in confusion, "Why?"
"If anyone knows that Lingbao's blood can cure diseases, everyone will drink up all your blood!" Shen Su'e frowned worriedly, "I'm afraid I can't protect you."
The baby girl hugged her mother, raised her little head and said, "Don't worry, mother, Lingbao promises not to tell anyone else about this matter, so that mother won't worry."
"So good!" Shen Su'e's eyes were full of love.
Two days later, in order to separate the family, she asked Sanleizi to invite his uncles to her home, and also brought Captain Li with him.
Just after noon, Lingbao fed his father water mixed with dragon's blood.
Probably because there was too much blood, she fell asleep after a while.
While she was drifting off to sleep, she heard someone say: "Brother, your wife is crazy. If you divide Dadongzi and Erhuazi, who will take care of you in the future? You are relying on medicine to survive." , you have to spend money every month..."
The person who spoke was Jiang Qingshan’s eldest brother.
"That's right," after a pause, Uncle Jiang continued, "your other three younger sons haven't gotten married yet, right? It costs a lot of money to marry a wife. Without the help of your two brothers, when the time comes, your wife will I can’t even marry a son.”
"I agreed to the separation of families," Jiang Qingshan coughed a few times, "Brother, please go out. I'm talking too hard, cough, cough, cough..."
"Ouch, let me tell you what you are good at! My mother has scolded you before, saying that you listen too much to your wife. Even at this age, you are still such a bad habit. It's not my fault. Sooner or later, you will let your wife My son was killed!"
As soon as Uncle Jiang finished speaking, the little girl's angry voice came from the side, "Mom will not kill daddy!"
There was only one kerosene lamp lit in the room. Uncle Jiang squinted his eyes and walked forward, and saw a baby sitting on a small wooden bed.
"Are you the girl Dong Zi Niang picked up?"
Little Lingbao had no memory of before she was abandoned. When she regained consciousness, she saw her mother for the first time and believed that it was her mother who hatched her from the egg shell.
"Lingbao is not picked up," she said loudly, with her hands on her hips and her chubby little face bulging, "Lingbao is my mother's biological child!"
As soon as she said this, her uncles all laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Lingbao is my daughter!" Shen Su'e walked into the room and hugged her precious daughter.
Not wanting to talk nonsense with her husband's family, she drove them out, "Stop crowding in here, the captain is here, get out quickly!"
"Speak nicely and push whatever you want. I will leave on my own..."
In the lobby, the Jiang family stood in two rows. On the left were Shen Su'e, Lingbao and the third, fourth and fifth children. On the right were the eldest and second sons.
Witnessed by Jiang Qingshan's three elder brothers, the elders of the Jiang family, Li Guangzheng, the captain of the production team, read the separation agreement aloud.
"Jiang Qingshan, a villager in Baihe Village, and his wife Shen Su'e have five sons. The eldest son Jiang Dong and the second son Jiang Hua are both married. They are currently divided into two rooms with an area of 50 square meters each. After the separation, they will not be responsible for parental support and will not be responsible for their parents' alimony in the future. Then divide the inheritance.”
This is a unique rule of Baihe Village. The sons who are separated do not have to adopt their parents, and they cannot share the house, land and money left by their parents a hundred years later.
Afraid that her mother-in-law would regret it, Huang Yuezhu, the second daughter-in-law, emphasized: "Mom, once we separate the family, if you ask us for money to buy medicine for dad, it will be regarded as a loan."
"Don't worry, I know the rules better than you. We were a family before the separation, and we will be relatives after the separation," Shen Su'e said, "I borrow money from you, and in the same way, you will come to me to get money from now on." Taking something is also borrowing."
Huang Yuezhu snorted and murmured in a low voice, "Hey, this family is so poor, what can I borrow from you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Li Guangzheng coughed and read the list of small items again, "If you have no other opinions, then come over and sign and fingerprint."
Shen Su'e pressed her fingerprints without hesitation.
She then took the agreement back to the house and gave it to her husband to sign.
The corners of Huang Yuezhu's lips rose, thinking that without the two big burdens of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, life would be easier in the future! She had long thought about separating the family before, but Fu Gui's father said that his father was paralyzed. If he mentioned the separation, he was afraid that He was scolded by the villagers as an unfilial son.
Okay now, my sister-in-law was the first to propose the family separation, and she readily agreed to it. No matter how much outsiders gossip, they can’t be blamed on their family.
Not wanting to stay any longer, she pulled her husband and said, "Let's go."
Erhuazi originally wanted to go into the house to see his father, but now his wife kept urging him, so he had to say: "Mom, if there is nothing else, Yuezhu and I will take the children and leave first. The new house is still there." It’s not tidied up yet.”
Shen Su'e waved her hand, "Let's go."
After the eldest son and the second son's family were all gone, the production team captain and Lingbao and her three uncles were also ready to go home.
"Wait a minute," Shen Su'e suddenly said, "It's such a snowy day, why don't you guys come here to pay attention to my family's affairs? Why don't you eat some dog meat at night before leaving?"
"What?" Li Guangzheng was about to step out of Jiang's house with his right foot. He quickly retracted his foot, turned his head and said in surprise, "Auntie, did you just say dog meat?"
Not only him, but everyone else was also shocked and speechless for a moment.
"Mom, how can we have dog meat in our house?" Sihaizi was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and said with a red face, "Are you really an old fool?"
His fifth brother also felt embarrassed and stumbled to explain, "Captain Li, I, my mother has been a little unusual lately. I don't have a dog at home..."
Before he finished speaking, he was patted on the head by his third brother, "What are you talking about? Why is my mother abnormal? We have a dog at home! I caught it the day before yesterday."
He skinned the wolf and buried it in the snowdrift.
His mother told him in the morning that she planned to treat his uncles and captain to a meal of meat to celebrate the separation of the family and to celebrate the birth of a daughter, Lingbao.
Seeing Sanleizi digging out the skinned "wild dog" from the snowdrift, everyone around him was dumbfounded. They swallowed their saliva and said, "Wow! What a dog! It's so big. Look at it."
