Chapter 95: Restarting the Devil, We Don’t Have Children
"Oh, my God, this is going to kill me..."
Li Cuihua was breathing rapidly and Wang Minzhi was so scared that she hid in the east room and dared not come out.
The man worked as a security guard at a coal mine. Even if he worked every day without missing a shift in a month, plus a fifty-yuan attendance bonus, he only earned three hundred yuan.
The daily expenses plus the money spent on buying seeds and fertilizers for autumn sowing amounted to seven or eight hundred yuan this year. At the end of the year, only when it comes to harvest time can we get some money for food. Only wealthy families can save one thousand yuan a year.
Wang Minzhi was out of breath and her face turned pale. This was a huge sum of 2,400 yuan. Where could she get so much money?
Wang Minzhi sat on the bed in a daze with her thoughts in a mess. In previous years when Zhao Mei was around, she would always carry a bamboo basket up the mountain to pick up cow dung, and add the dung from her own toilet, and she didn't spend money to buy fertilizer. Didn't she just want Zhao Mei to come back?
How did this turn out?
With a bang, Li Cuihua appeared in front of Wang Minzhi, trembling.
Wang Minzhi was so frightened that she stood up reflexively, lowered her head and stammered, "Mom, you... don't be angry, I didn't mean it, I just wanted my sister-in-law to come back."
Li Cuihua gritted her teeth and pointed her finger at Wang Minzhi, tapping several times in the air before speaking:
"You...are you the undead star of my Ye family? Why did you harm his sheep when you asked your brother and sister-in-law to come back? Come and see for yourself, take a look!"
Li Cuihua suddenly raised her voice, scaring Wang Minzhi so much that she shrank her neck and shivered violently. She subconsciously looked towards the yard.
There were piles of dead sheep and rabbits that would have been infested with maggots by now if left in the summer.
"I don't care where you get the money, you'd better fill this hole for me. It's not easy for your man to work hard all day to earn a few dollars. Why are you so cruel?"
Li Cuihua rolled her eyes in anger, and took a few shaky steps on her three-inch feet. She lowered her chest with all her strength, as if she was about to burst into laughter if she couldn't catch her breath:
"Oh my God, why did you offend that bitch Ye Xiaomei when you could do something else? Oh my God, I can't live like this anymore."
The little old lady walked into the yard tremblingly, looked at the pile of dead sheep and dead rabbits, and then sat down on the ground, unable to cry anymore.
"Mom, that..." Wang Minzhi carefully moved behind her mother-in-law and said hesitantly:
"Or, you can first give me two thousand four hundred yuan of the money that Mancang has deposited with you, otherwise..." Otherwise she would be taken to the detention center. The words written in black and white read out by the official's mouth clearly stated it.
Li Cuihua didn't wait for her to finish. As long as money was mentioned, Li Cuihua had endless energy:
"You can figure out what to do with your stupid behavior yourself. I won't care even if you get your head bruised at the door of the Ma family. The little money I have is from my son's savings for my funeral."
"..." Wang Minzhi was dumbfounded, watching her mother-in-law walk into the main room without asking a question, slam the door shut and put up the crossbar. She was a little confused, how could this become the money for her coffin?
She married a man, and men make money to support their families, right? How did it become hers?
"Mom, mom, please open the door. Mancang is my husband after all. You can't hold on to the money so tightly. I am his wife..."
Wang Minzhi quickly knocked on the door, but Li Cuihua's voice came from inside: "He is still my son. I raised him since he was a child. What's wrong with him making money and giving it to me to honor my old mother?"
There was no more news, and Wang Minzhi's eyes gradually dimmed.
She couldn't do such a lowly thing as going to the Ma family to kowtow and admit her mistake.
"Xiao Lin?" Wang Minzhi instantly remembered that Zhang Changjiang's family was so wealthy, and he should be able to easily take out more than two thousand yuan.
———
At the Ma family, as soon as Ye Xiaomei came back, Wang Lan came to watch: "Girl, you have lost weight. Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me? If Qijun hadn't come back, how could you, an illiterate girl, handle this matter at the police station?"
As she spoke, Wang Lan specially prepared a pot of chicken soup: "Drink it while it's hot to nourish your body."
Ye Xiaomei took it and looked at Ma Qijun in embarrassment. Chicken soup is chicken soup again. When she couldn't eat meat for half a year, she really dreamed of eating meat all day long, but she has been drinking this chicken soup for almost a month.
My mother-in-law just wanted her to get pregnant sooner, but after eating too much, she felt that even the feces in the toilet tasted like chicken soup.
"You don't like to drink? I'll drink it." What Ma Qijun couldn't stand the most was his wife's innocent eyes, which always stabbed the softest part of his heart like a knife.
"Hey, what are you drinking?" Wang Lan tapped the back of her son's hand with her chopsticks:
"This woman drinks old hen soup to nourish herself, what are you eating?" She took the chicken soup from her son's hand and stuffed it back into Ye Xiaomei's hands, saying with a smile:
"Men eat roosters, and women have to eat hens to replenish themselves."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the chicken soup full of oil, twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded: "Okay, Mom, I'll finish it now."
Ma Qijun looked at his wife drinking with a frown on her face, and instantly felt unhappy:
"Mom, I have something to tell you. Xiaomei and I don't plan to have a baby so early."
Ye Xiaomei coughed and quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks. Ma Qijun took out a handkerchief and handed it to the woman.
Ye Xiaomei was very embarrassed, not just ordinary embarrassed. Ma Qijun said that this matter was a bit inappropriate? After all, he was a big boss.
"What's wrong? Are you going to die if you don't have children after getting married?" Wang Lan never had a good face towards her son. She would only say a few soft words with joy when he took good care of his wife.
"Mom, look at your temper. I'm not saying I won't have a baby, I just don't want one right now." Ma Qijun said, putting down his chopsticks and glancing at his shy wife.
"Now that society has improved, you have to do a fertility test before having a baby. I didn't pass the test."
"What?" Wang Lan stood up suddenly, the chopsticks in her hand were shaking.
Ye Xiaomei cleared her throat awkwardly and turned away, and her man began to perform.
"Mom, I don't want to either. I checked and found that my sperm motility may be too low. I may not be able to get my little sister pregnant."
"What? Can't get pregnant?" Wang Lan's face turned pale. How is this different from cutting off one's lineage and grandchildren?
She quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and pulled Ma Qijun to go: "Come on, come on, mom will take you to the city to check again. This is not a small matter."
In the room.
Ye Xiaomei opened a book but had no intention of reading it. She held her chin with a sweet, doted-on smile on her face.
Her man is really impeccable, and her heart is like a jar of honey.
——Mom, I have checked everything. There is no need to check again.
——No, this is a big deal. You are the only son in our Ma family. Your eldest sister can’t give birth to a child with the last name Ma. I’m sending a message to your father that I’ve even thought of a name for the child. And you tell me that you can’t do it?
—Ouch, that hurts! Mom tore off my unrecovered arm. It hurts so much…
Ye Xiaomei was listening in the room and burst out laughing. She covered her face with a book to suppress her laughter.
——What's wrong? Why is it hurting again?
Wang Lan's voice was obviously anxious.
Ye Xiaomei was holding a book and looking out the window at the scene in the yard. Her face immediately twitched.
