The assistant doctor, who was relatively young and had never seen anything like this before, couldn't help but mutter, "She doesn't look uneducated judging by her attire. How can she be so superstitious?"
The old doctor had seen many patients like this and knew that they were controlled by their own obsessions: "She believed she was pregnant with a boy from the beginning and that she lost the baby because of her eating habits. She was mentally broken and would never believe it even if she died."
Only by deceiving yourself and blaming others can you have enough support to survive.
"Child... my child..."
Huo Xiaoman lay on the bed, touching her stomach which was obviously bloated, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Her bent fingers grasped the quilt, and her eyes stared at the ceiling dully: "Jiang Zao, you have to compensate me for my child."
"Squeak..."
The door opened, Xiao Wensheng walked in and stood beside the bed.
Seeing Xiao Wensheng, Huo Xiaoman's stiff eyes finally relaxed. She grabbed Xiao Wensheng's hand, sickly and anxiously: "Wensheng, you are here. Even if we lose the child, we can still have another one. I have found a way to give birth to a boy. Next time, I will definitely give birth to a boy for you."
"Don't worry, I will continue the Xiao family's lineage."
"I will definitely give birth to a boy for you before Jiang Zao does, so that our child can inherit all the Xiao family's wealth and you can surpass Xiao Shuisheng and not be outdone by him."
Huo Xiaoman's mouth was dry and she swallowed hard.
She can do it, she definitely can.
It was late at night and the hospital was quiet.
The window was open, and the wind blew past the window, bringing with it the coolness and silence unique to the evening, and the leaves outside the window rustled.
Xiao Wensheng lowered his head and looked at Huo Xiaoman. His hair was messy, his clothes were wrinkled, his serious face had fallen a lot, his eyes were blue, and his gaze was unfocused.
"Xiao Man."
He leaned over and pulled the quilt up for Huo Xiaoman.
People are just weird like that.
I often wish he would be gentler.
Sometimes, people would rather be beaten or scolded than see someone calm and caring, like the bowl of rice before leaving. If you want to eat chicken legs or pig's trotters, out of humanitarianism, the other party will satisfy you.
Huo Xiaoman was like hot oil boiling in cold water. It sizzled a few times and then returned to calm, never to make any more splashes.
"Vinsheng, please don't do this. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't look at me like that. I'm scared."
Xiao Wensheng sat down beside the bed and said, "Let's get a divorce."
"Life is unbearable. I don't want you to be the mother of my future children. Seeing you is painful for me. If you continue to do this and refuse to leave, I will find someone to send you away. I will also report everything you have done to the police. I believe that the people's police will uphold justice for me."
As long as he can separate them, he will use all means.
The nurse was changing the dressing for the old man in the next room and was yawning with sleepiness. She passed by the door of the ward for a pregnant woman who had a miscarriage due to eating human placenta during the day, and heard unpleasant roars from inside.
"I won't leave you. We've been married for so many years, you can't abandon me, ah!!!"
The nurse was startled awake.
She knocked on the door hard: "Comrade, please keep your voice down and don't disturb others' rest."
Huo Xiaoman's fierce resistance was of no use and they ended up getting divorced.
Over the years, most of the family's money had been taken back to her parents' home by her, leaving very little, only about sixty yuan. Xiao Wensheng gave all the money to Huo Xiaoman, asking her to keep it for her health.
Because of Huo Xiaoman's own actions, Xiao Wensheng and her divorce procedures were completed quickly.
She was sent back to her parents' home on a bullock cart.
It was cloudy outside, and the wind blew light rain on her head. Several large bags of luggage were also wet. An old ox walked slowly in front of her, and the mixed smell of cow dung and grass filled the air.
After walking through the streets and alleys countless times, some memories suddenly came to mind.
When she first married Xiao Wensheng, she was in love with him.
She was very happy and shy when she got married, and she imagined what her life would be like here in the future. She was thinking about sowing some seeds in the yard in the spring and cooking some meals when the crops in the fields matured in the autumn.
Later, everything changed a little bit.
Huo Xiaoman lay on her luggage and cried loudly.
Xiao Wensheng turned around and went into the house and closed the door.
After Huo Xiaoman left, the house suddenly became quiet.
June is a refreshing month with lush greenery. When I ride my bike to and from get off work, the wind on my face seems to open my pores.
Arriving at the food factory, Jiang Zao parked his bicycle under the iron shed, picked up the army green bag from the frame and walked into the factory.
"Zao'er!"
Chang Sanxi had just seen her, and she ran to catch up with her: "I'll go in with you."
"How's your sister-in-law doing? Are you divorced?"
As he spoke, he took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket, peeled them and put them in his mouth, and gave Jiang Zao a handful.
How can good sisters not complain about family matters? Chang Sanxi pays close attention to the progress of Xiao Wensheng and Huo Xiaoman's relationship every day, which is more exciting than the stories in the play box.
The surface of the peanuts was rough, and they were fried until slightly yellow. They broke into pieces with a light pinch, emitting a burnt aroma, crispy and fragrant. I put one of the ginger dates in my mouth and chatted while eating: "I got divorced. I was sent away yesterday."
"After she left, I ate an extra bowl of rice. It was the first time I saw a child swinging his chopsticks in such a circular motion."
It makes me sad just looking at it.
Chang Sanxi made a clicking sound: "Even a stepmother wouldn't dare abuse her stepchildren like this. She has such a cruel heart."
In her opinion, stepchildren are not her own children, but any stepmother who has some dignity and is afraid of what neighbors will say would not dare to abuse them openly, let alone treat them harshly with food.
"Who are you talking about? Don't you know that gossiping behind people's backs will get your mouth rotten?" Jiang Shan's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
