Song Caixing remained silent.
She just doesn't like this child.
If it weren't for her pregnancy, she wouldn't have come to the provincial capital all alone, unable to go home.
Seeing Song Caixing's attitude, Song Yinhua knew that the child would only face death if he stayed with Caixing.
"It's so noisy!" Song Caixing covered her ears, unable to bear the baby's crying. "Cry, all you do is cry! Big sister, I beg you to send her away immediately, you can leave her anywhere."
"You feed the baby first, and I'll take her away tomorrow."
Are you leaving tomorrow?
“I also have some things to take care of at home. I’ve been here for more than half a month, and it’s time for me to go back.” Song Yinhua carefully placed the baby in Song Caixing’s arms. “I will leave you some money, enough for you to eat and stay for half a year. After half a year, you will have recovered enough to find a job and support yourself.”
Song Caixing reluctantly fed the baby.
"Caixing, are you really not going to keep this child?"
Looking at the nursing baby in her arms, Song Caixing burst into tears. "How can I raise her by myself? I still need to get married in the future. How can I get married with her in my arms?"
She asked Song Yinhua, "Elder sister, who do you plan to give her to?"
“She is Xie Daguang’s daughter. I will take her back to her father.”
"What if Da Guang's mother doesn't want her because she's a girl?" Song Caixing was annoyed by the child, but she couldn't bear to abandon her. "Big sister, can you raise her for me? Let her be your girl."
Song Yinhua was speechless at Song Caixing's words. "When I get back, I'll send the child to her biological father first. If Xie Daguang's family doesn't take her in, we'll see."
"It's all because of you, you burden! I should never have given birth to you!" Song Caixing snapped at the baby. Seeing the baby just nursing and not understanding her words, she felt a surge of anger rising within her. She deliberately stopped the baby from nursing. "Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! Don't you care about your mother? If it weren't for giving birth to you, would I have had a C-section? Would I be like this?"
"Waaaaah..." The baby was eating happily when suddenly the food was taken away, and he started crying.
"Caixing, what are you doing? She's only a little over ten days old!" Song Yinhua told Song Caixing to breastfeed properly. "We're leaving tomorrow. Take good care of her during these last ten or so hours. You may never see her again in your life."
Song Yinhua's words brought tears to Song Caixing's eyes.

The next morning, Song Yinhua boarded the train with her newborn niece, who was just over half a month old.
Song Caixing was not fully recovered and did not go to the station to see them off.
In the afternoon, Song Yinhua took the baby to Xie Daguang's house. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she heard Huo Jinfeng scolding her daughter-in-law, calling her a hen that couldn't lay eggs. The daughter-in-law scolded Xie Daguang in front of her mother-in-law, saying that he was not a man and couldn't have children, and that it wasn't her fault.
Huo Jinfeng went up and slapped her daughter-in-law. She couldn't stand hearing others say bad things about her son and insisted that her daughter-in-law had a health problem.
The daughter-in-law was beaten by her mother-in-law and vented her anger on Xie Daguang, wanting him to stand up for her.
Xie Daguang squatted to one side without saying a word; he was also extremely annoyed.
On their wedding night, he and his wife were being intimate when Song Baogen suddenly burst into the bridal chamber and made a scene. After that, he couldn't function properly.
Now his mother wants to have a grandchild, but his wife thinks he's not a real man. He secretly went to the local clinic and even to the county hospital for a checkup, but he still hasn't gotten better.
When his wife saw that Xie Daguang wouldn't stand up for her, she said some angry things and threatened to divorce him.
"Get a divorce right away!" Huo Jinfeng said disdainfully. "My son will divorce you the moment he wants and marry a virgin!"
"Xie Daguang, say something! If you can live like this, then live together; if you can't, then get a divorce!"
"Wife, don't argue with my mom every day. She's only trying to do what's best for us. You need to learn how to be a dutiful daughter-in-law and make her happy." Xie Daguang complained that his wife only knew how to make trouble all day long and was not filial to her elders.
When Song Yinhua saw Xie Daguang's father return at this moment, she quickly hid to the side while holding her child.
Mr. Xie carried a bottle filled with black liquid into the yard. “Daguang, come here and feed this to your wife. The village shaman says that if she drinks this, she will get pregnant.”
Xie Daguang's wife stepped back nervously, saying, "I won't drink, I won't drink anything. It's not my problem that I can't have a baby."
Huo Jinfeng unscrewed the bottle stopper, and the pungent smell made her quickly cover her nose. "Daguang, hold her down."
Xie Daguang stood up and grabbed his wife, "Wife, just listen to my parents and drink this so you can get pregnant soon."
He knew better than anyone why his wife couldn't get pregnant, but he couldn't let the villagers know that it was because he was impotent.
Xie Daguang's wife struggled desperately, and Huo Jinfeng handed the bottle to her husband, saying, "You feed her, Daguang and I will hold her down."
The Xie family mother and son held their daughter-in-law down tightly, while Xie's father poured liquid into her mouth.
"This is... ugh... horse urine... ugh... I won't drink it..."
Looking at the scene in the courtyard, and then at the sleeping baby in her arms, Song Yinhua couldn't bear to send the child inside.
In her previous life, Cai Xing died in childbirth, and her child became mentally disabled due to lack of oxygen. Xie Daguang's family did not care about the child, and in the end, the child drowned.
Song Yinhua took the child away, explaining to others that the child was found on the mountain behind the house.

Qiao Guilan looked at the baby that Song Yinhua brought back and said, "I have to say, this baby looks a bit like Yinhua when she was little. If I didn't know you picked him up from the back mountain, I would have thought you gave birth to him yourself!"
Song Yinhua didn't tell her parents that this was Caixing's daughter, for fear that they would worry.
"Yinhua, why did you pick up a child out of the blue?" Qiao Guilan tried to persuade Song Yinhua to abandon the child. "You will definitely have your own children in the future. Raising such a burden is both troublesome and expensive. I can't help you take care of the child. Baogen's son is not even three months old. I have to take care of my own grandson. Your father's health has not been good since he was injured by Dafei. He also needs someone to take care of him. I think you should just abandon the child and see which family doesn't have children to raise."
“I will raise this child myself, so I don’t need to trouble you to raise him for me, Mom.” Song Yinhua realized that her mother was afraid that she would leave the child to her to take care of.
"You live alone, and you have to take care of your crazy mother-in-law. You're also the only one running the wonton shop. How can you have time to raise this little one?"
"Don't worry about her, I can take care of her myself." Song Yinhua glanced around the room. "Where's Wenxiu?"
“She took the child back to her parents’ home.” Qiao Guilan was full of dissatisfaction and complaints when she mentioned her daughter-in-law. “She does no work all day long and still complains about this and that. I treat her like an ancestor, and she still says that I deliberately cook bad food. As soon as Baogen comes home, she makes Baogen do this and that. I couldn’t stand it and said something to her, and she took the child and went back to her parents’ home.”
"Wenxiu is still breastfeeding, what kind of work do you expect her to do? It's their business if Baogen wants to listen to Wenxiu, why are you interfering?"
"Why are you criticizing Mom too?" Qiao Guilan said, feeling wronged. "Did it not go easy for Mom to raise you all? None of you know how to care for Mom! Baogen listens to his wife in everything. Qiuxue said she would take Mom to the provincial capital to enjoy life, but now she doesn't even call Mom. If you hadn't reported it to the authorities, Dafei wouldn't have gone to jail. You even forced his family to pay compensation. Qiuxue must be angry."
