Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Part 2

The gate of Zhou Zhaodi's courtyard was open, and many people had gathered outside the gate, pointing and talking, and no one went in to stop the fight. Zhou Xiaoshuan was stingy, and Yang Daniu was mean, and they didn't get along well with the neighbors around them, so no one wanted to get involved in their affairs.

The ones fighting were Yang Danniu and Zhou Xiaoshuan.

Yang Danniu had disheveled hair and a bruised face, but she still kept rushing towards Zhou Xiaoshuan, scratching his face with both hands: "You shameless bastard, why are you giving away the baby I worked so hard to give birth to? Damn it, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you coward, you want to sell my daughter for 80 yuan?!"

Zhou Xiaoshuan's face had long been scratched into potato shreds. He was usually a coward, but he was tough now. He dodged and said, "Who told you to give birth to a girl? If you had given birth to a son, would I have given him away?! Didn't you say you could give me a son? Why did you give birth to a girl again?!"

Zhou Xiaoshuan became more and more sad as he spoke and was almost crying.

He was really sad. He already had three daughters, and he felt that the baby in Yang Danniu's belly was definitely a son.

The one before Yang Danniu was also a son. She said that her brothers and sisters were all very good at giving birth to sons, and daughters were extremely rare in her family. For this reason, even though it was her second marriage, he gave a betrothal gift of 30 yuan and brought the child back to Wu Jiabao, loving him as his own son. She hoped that the child would know that he loved his sons and be reborn into his family as soon as possible.

Who would have known, who would have known it would be another daughter!

Zhou Xiaoshuan was completely devastated. He felt that God was too cruel and unfair to him. How could he have another girl?

Since she is a daughter, how can she stay at home and waste food?

Zhou Xiaoshuan was only thinking about saving some property for his son, and he was not willing to spend any money on his daughter.

Moreover, he didn't have to spend any money, but could even exchange his daughter for money. He had experience in this area, as he had sent two daughters away before, and had received some money from each of them.

This girl was born prematurely, and she is weak and hard to take care of, so she can't be left at home. Fortunately, there are people who are willing to take care of her and give her money, which is already very good.

Zhou Xiaoshuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. In the early years, many families drowned their daughters in buckets of water after giving birth, or threw them into the mountains. But he didn't do that. He found a good family to raise them and didn't feel sorry for them at all.

He didn't even understand why Yang Danniu reacted so strongly. Didn't she also want to have a son? After giving birth to a money-losing boy, did she still want to keep him by her side and raise him?

"You coward, you can't give birth to a son, and you blame me?" Yang Danniu was very confident, and didn't think that giving birth to a daughter was her fault. "Why did I give birth to a son with the previous guy, but I gave birth to a daughter with you? It's obviously you who can't give birth to a son. Look at you, the previous ones you gave birth to were all daughters. It must be your problem. You still want to blame me?!"

Zhou Xiaoshuan's sore spot was touched, and he immediately broke down: "Ahhh, why, why don't I have a son, God, why can't you let me give birth to a son!"

He stopped hitting Yang Da Nv and started to hit himself with his hands.

Yang Danniu was immediately frightened and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Shut up! There is no such thing as God. This is feudal superstition. If you keep yelling, I'll send you to the Revolutionary Committee!"

As soon as Zhou Mancang came in and saw what happened, he immediately spoke out to stop it.

He glanced at the messy yard. There were a lot of clothes scattered on the ground. They should have been washed and hung in the yard. Now there were countless footprints on them. There were also a few broken pottery pieces farther away, obviously jars that were smashed, and there were also some chicken feathers and chicken droppings... In short, the ground was a mess.

It can be seen that "the battle is fierce".

Zhou Mancang is really fed up with these two people. They made trouble when Zhou Zhaodi won the award and went to school in the county. Now that she has a daughter, they are making trouble again. How can these two people be so capable?

Zhou Mancang looked at Zhou Xiaoshuan with a serious expression: "Zhou Xiaoshuan, someone reported you for selling your daughter. Tell me yourself, is this true?"

When Zhou Xiaoshuan heard that he would be sent to the Revolutionary Committee, he immediately calmed down. He knew that feudal superstitions should not be practiced, but he just said it casually. He was really aggrieved!

As for selling his daughter, Zhou Xiaoshuan was not stupid. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, selling children was prohibited. He certainly could not say that he sold his daughter. He still said as usual: "No, captain, I gave her to my relatives to raise. They like girls, and my family can't afford to raise one, so we decided to give her to them."

"Bullshit! How can you not afford to support her? With three working people in the family, how can you not afford to support my daughter?!" Yang Danniu said with a pah sound: "If you really can't afford to support her, you can send Zhou Zhaodi away. Why should you send my daughter instead of Zhou Zhaodi?!"

In an instant, everyone in and out of the yard looked at Zhou Zhaodi, who was huddled in the corner holding a baby. Zhou Zhaodi's face turned pale.

Zhou Xiaoshuan also looked back at Zhou Zhaodi and said as a matter of course: "Zhaodi is able to work now, she can help the family, and she will be able to get married in a few more years, there is no need to give her to someone else to raise."

Yang Danniu angrily said, "What a shit job she does. She only comes home once a month and leaves before she even gets comfortable. If my mother hadn't come to take care of me, I would have had to wash my own diapers during my confinement! Have you ever touched a finger? You Zhou family are all sons of bitches. I was blind to marry a useless person like you!"

Zhou Xiaoshuan argued: "If you give birth to a son, of course I will wash your diapers. If you give birth to a girl, I won't wash your diapers! You can't give birth to a son, and you still dare to be so rude here. If you can't give birth to a son, you should serve me well!"

When this man's meanness was directed at others, Yang Daniu didn't feel anything at all, but when this man's meanness was directed at her, Yang Daniu was extremely angry: "Fuck, you son of a bitch, you coward, I worked so hard to give birth to your child, and you still want me to serve you. If I serve you, I will beat you to death first!"

With a roar, he rushed forward again.

Zhou Xiaoshuan: "You gave birth to a money-losing thing, why are you so tough? If you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death!"

Well, the two of them started fighting again.

Outside the courtyard gate, everyone couldn't help but chirp: "These two people are really different even though they sleep in the same bed. They are really..."

"Zhou Xiaoshuan used to be so cowardly, but since Yang Da Niu gave birth to a daughter, he has become tougher. It turns out that he used to be so humble just to give birth to a son."

"Hasn't he always been like this? He was like this when Zhou Zhaodi's mother was around. He didn't listen to his wife at first. After she had a daughter, he either beat or scolded her. Otherwise, Zhou Zhaodi's mother might not have died while giving birth to a child."

Wang Qiutong pulled Shen Moer: “Zhao Di is so pitiful.”

Shen Moer nodded and looked at Zhou Zhaodi, who was huddled in the corner with a look of despair on her face. The little girl had become much more lively and cheerful in the past few months. Sometimes she would come to tell her about what she had seen and heard in the county. She also said that she must study hard and paint well, and make money to repay her in the future. She also said that she wanted to be a teacher in the future and teach the children in the village to read and paint.

She also said that when she has money, she will go and find her two younger sisters.

In the yard, Zhou Mancang glared at these two annoying guys. He was so tired that he just kept beating them!

Last year, their Yangliu Brigade was recognized as an outstanding brigade that won many honors. This year, a group of people will become workers in state-owned factories. The brigade has also set up experimental fields, and results are expected to be achieved. It can be said that the entire brigade is getting better and better, and the lives of the members are also getting better and better.

Everyone is a good person, working hard to build a new life, but there are always some bad apples that cause trouble.

Some of them cheated the educated youth out of money, some of them gave birth to daughters and wanted to sell them. Instead of leading a good life, they kept doing these nonsense to bring discredit to the team.

Even so, they still have the nerve to fight!

"Qingguo, Zhuangzhuang's wife, come here and help pull them apart." Zhou Mancang called Zhou Qingguo and Li Xinmei for help.

Li Xinmei was standing by the gate, and she quickly ran over and tore the man apart with Zhou Qingguo. Zhou Qingguo was still holding his daughter in one hand, and he pulled Zhou Xiaoshuan away with one hand, and kicked him at the same time: "You are really capable, beating your wife and selling your daughter, why don't you go to heaven?!"

Zhou Xiaoshuan did not struggle. He could not fight back against Zhou Qingguo who had been a soldier. He simply sat down and started to cry: "I have a miserable life. Everyone has sons, but why don't I have any? Why, why don't I have any?! It's not that I want to sell my daughters. I don't have any and I can't afford to raise them. Can't I find a way out for them? I didn't abandon them to the mountains!"

Zhou Qingguo was speechless.

In a short period of time today, he was speechless twice, once to his sister and once to his cousin.

Yes, their family and Zhou Xiaoshuan's family are quite close relatives.

Cong Cong, who was held in one hand by him, looked down with confusion at Zhou Xiaoshuan who was sitting on the ground crying. No one knew what he was thinking, but suddenly he made a "Puh" sound and spat at Zhou Xiaoshuan... Actually, children don't spit much, but that's what he meant.

Zhou Qingguo: “…”

He quickly held his daughter and stepped back: "Congcong, let's not listen to these dirty things, let's go away."

Yang Danniu also sat on the ground and howled, "Why am I so unlucky? I married such a coward, I can't even give birth to a son, and he still wants to sell my daughter. This bastard is not a human being!"

“…”

Zhou Mancang was so overwhelmed by their howling that he shouted, "All of you, shut up! Do you really want to go to the Revolutionary Committee or the police station?!"

After being yelled at by him, Zhou Xiaoshuan and Yang Danniu both fell silent.

Zhou Mancang said seriously, "Didn't the commune's propaganda workers go to the brigade and preach that it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl, and that women hold up half the sky? You're dying to give birth to a girl. Are you afraid that people don't know that you're backward? You even dare to sell your children. Didn't the propaganda workers say that selling children is illegal? You're doing all this mess, and you still have the nerve to fight?!"

"I just don't understand. What's wrong with having a daughter? Zhou Xiaoshuan, look at Zhaodi for yourself. What a promising child she is. If I had a granddaughter like her, I would wake up with joy at night! Whether it's a daughter or a son, it's good to raise him well and have a promising future. I'm speaking to you in a nice tone, so please listen to me. Otherwise, with your ideological awareness, you will be sent to the Revolutionary Committee, the police station, or have your work points deducted. It's up to you!"

The Revolutionary Committee, the police station, and deducting work points, Zhou Mancang used all three of his tricks to scare people. Zhou Xiaoshuan and Yang Danniu finally behaved themselves, with a hint of uneasiness and fear on their faces.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up. Zhou Xiaoshuan, don't give the child away again. Don't even mention giving the child away to relatives. If you take money, you're selling the child. Yang Danniu, don't make a fuss anymore. The child must not be sold. If he tries this again, don't fight him. Come to the brigade to find us. The brigade will definitely not watch him sell the child. We don't care if you two have a quarrel, but if you sell the child or fight, it's illegal. You should think about the consequences of breaking the law."

Zhou Mancang continued to talk a lot and finally said, "That's it. Stop making trouble."

Zhou Mancang stared at the two of them and nodded. Although he could see that they were reluctant, as long as they had this attitude, it would be fine. The child was still there and they didn't fight to the point of bloodying, so he could only criticize and educate them.

He really felt a headache when he looked at these two annoying guys for a second longer. He called Li Xinmei and Zhou Qingguo and walked out. However, he hadn't taken a few steps when he was stopped by Zhou Zhaodi who was holding a baby. Zhou Zhaodi looked up at him with a bit of determination and hope in her eyes and asked:

"Captain, can I separate from my father?"
