My mother-in-law said that her newborn daughter died last night. She stopped breathing not long after she was born.

But Xu Fanglan clearly remembered that her daughter was fine before she went to bed!

He slept beside her pillow with his fists clenched, and his breathing was obviously normal!

But my mother-in-law insisted that she was mistaken, and that the child died shortly after being born. She also said that they were afraid that if the child died, it would be bad for them if he stayed at home, so they took the child out and buried him.

He also said that Xu Fanglan was still young and could still have children, and that she and the eldest brother could have a big fat boy in the future.

Xu Fanglan just listened blankly, as if every word her mother-in-law said did not enter her ears.

But when she finally heard the news and struggled to get out of bed to look for her daughter, she was stopped by her mother-in-law, who also asked her husband, Boss Li, to hold her back.

"What are you looking for? You gave birth to a dead child and you still have the nerve to go out and look for him? Do you want the whole village to know that something like this happened in our Li family? Don't go!"

The mother-in-law glared at her fiercely.

"Don't ever mention this child again. Just pretend she never gave birth! Don't ever tell anyone outside that you gave birth. Just say it was miscarried or dropped. Do you understand? Otherwise, people will talk behind our backs. Then we'll have no shame!"

Xu Fanglan had just given birth and was already weak, and Boss Li was a man used to farm work, so she was no match for him.

In the end, she was almost half persuaded and half placed under house arrest to stay in the house.

But she just couldn't believe that her own daughter would suddenly die!

After she recovered a little, she ignored her mother-in-law's objections and searched all over the house, but she couldn't find it.

Perhaps because they had some affection for each other after so many years, Boss Li couldn't bear to see her desperate expression and couldn't help but reveal something.

He said.

"You don't have to look for her anymore. That girl is really dead. Even if you find her, she won't be able to come back alive."

Xu Fanglan cried and shouted that she wanted to see her daughter, even if it was her corpse.

But Boss Li said that the body could not be retrieved.

"Lao".

At that moment, Xu Fanglan suddenly realized that her daughter was not dead and buried as her mother-in-law said, but was most likely buried in some water!

Finally, after her repeated questioning, Boss Li finally told her that his daughter was in the well at the end of the village.

After he said that, he was afraid that Xu Fanglan would go to the well to fish it out, or tell other people about it, so he simply cruelly locked Xu Fanglan up for a while and locked her in the house.

It was during this period that Xu Fanglan thought a lot alone in the house. Finally, she connected everything together and soon realized that her daughter was definitely not dead at the beginning, and must have been killed by the old woman!

Later one night, Boss Li thought she was asleep, so he went outside to talk to Old Lady Li. Xu Fanglan happened to hear him, which further confirmed her guess.

Because she heard with her own ears that her vicious mother-in-law said that she disliked Xu Fanglan for giving birth to a girl, and that there would be one more mouth to feed at home. She did this for the good of the whole family, and she also encouraged Li Lao Da to be more motivated and get pregnant with a boy as soon as possible so that their Li family would have a successor.

"Big brother, don't blame Mom. I worked so hard to raise you two brothers. You've seen how difficult it has been over the years. Our family's situation isn't good either. If we have another girl who can't do anything, how are we going to get by?"

"And when she grows up, you'll still have to prepare a betrothal gift for her. It'll easily be several thousand, and in the future it'll probably be tens of thousands. Just think about how much you can earn from farming in a year. How can you possibly save up that much?"

"So don't blame me for being cruel, I'm just thinking about you!"

girl!
