Chapter 122
Liang Nan and Aunt Liang quickly gathered around and asked the nurse, "Doctor, has my wife given birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Congratulations, it's a girl," said the nurse.
Liang Nan and Aunt Liang's faces fell instantly.
Aunt Liang still didn't believe it and asked, "Is it really a girl? Doctor, are you sure?"
The nurse found it funny and said in a bad tone, "If I can even make a mistake like this, why am I still working here?"
Aunt Liang was about to say something when the nurse interrupted her: "Alright, stop talking. Your daughter-in-law isn't doing well. She's very weak. She needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days to see how she recovers. You should nourish her well during this period. If she doesn't do a good job of nourishing her and taking good care of her during the confinement period, she'll easily develop a chronic illness."
Cui Yongfang was pushed out at this time.
Cui Yongfang, lying on the hospital bed, had a pale face. She already knew that she had given birth to a girl. When she saw Aunt Liang and Liang Nan, she felt a little guilty.
All the signs of pregnancy were the same as the previous one, so why was the baby a girl?
"Mom...Liang Nan..." Cui Yongfang called weakly.
"Doctor, why does my wife look so bad? She wasn't like this when she gave birth to her first child!" Liang Nan looked as if he thought it was the hospital that made Cui Yongfang look like this.
The nurse who had spoken earlier said impatiently, "Your wife didn't take good care of herself during her pregnancy, and she had a difficult delivery, which is why she's so weak. There are many people who are fine with their first child, but almost die with their second. If you want your wife to recover quickly, you should take good care of her."
Liang Nan and Aunt Liang looked at each other and stopped talking.
The next day, despite the hospital's opposition, Aunt Liang and Liang Nan discharged Cui Yongfang and sent her home.
On the way, Aunt Liang said, "What's the point of staying in the hospital? You can recover at home. Those doctors just want us to stay in the hospital for a few more days so they can charge us more money!"
Cui Yongfang, holding the baby girl, sat in the back seat and agreed, "I don't want to stay in the hospital either. It's too uncomfortable. It's more comfortable to stay at home."
"That's right, the hospital is not as comfortable as home." Aunt Liang said.
The three of them returned to the compound. When the people there saw them, Aunt Xu came forward and asked, "You're back! Yongfang, is it a boy or a girl this time?"
Cui Yongfang was too embarrassed to answer, and Aunt Liang said unhappily, "Girl."
Aunt Xu said, "A girl is great! Your family has a perfect family name, a son and a daughter."
Aunt Liang felt that Aunt Xu was deliberately insulting her. She yelled angrily, "If you want a girl, then ask your daughter-in-law to give birth. I don't want a girl, and my family doesn't want to have a good name. It would be better if your family is like Wu Zhenzhen's and gave birth to four girls!"
Aunt Xu was irritated by Aunt Liang's attitude and replied, "You must have taken the wrong medicine! I was just saying something polite and auspicious, why are you yelling at me? I didn't ask your daughter-in-law to give birth to a girl. Are you sick?"
Aunt Xu turned around and went back home, slamming the door.
Aunt Liang was even more furious at Aunt Xu's behavior. She yelled at the closed door, "You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick! All your family members gave birth to girls!"
This caused Aunt Xu to open the door again and throw a basin of dirty water at Aunt Liang and the others.
After pouring the water, without even looking at Aunt Liang and the others, he said to them at their feet: "Don't get in the way of my house, you dirty things. Get out of here as far as you can."
Then he slammed the door again.
Aunt Xu's indirect criticism made Aunt Liang so angry that she jumped up and down. Aunt Liang rolled up her sleeves and was about to start a scolding when Liang Tianxiong and his friends came back from playing outside.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, you're back!" Liang Tianxiong ran towards them.
He saw the baby in Cui Yongfang's arms and asked, "Mom, Grandpa said you gave birth to a girl. Is it really a girl?"
"Yes." Cui Yongfang was not in the mood to answer Liang Tianxiong's question: "You have a younger sister."
"I don't want a sister, I want a brother! Didn't you say that the baby in your belly was a brother? Why did it turn out to be a sister!" Liang Tianxiong yelled.
Cui Yongfang's face was filled with guilt and helplessness: "I don't know why I became a younger sister!"
"I don't care! I want my brother! Give me back the brother you promised me! I want my brother!" Liang Tianxiong looked like he was throwing a tantrum.
Aunt Liang felt distressed when she saw this and coaxed Liang Tianxiong: "My dear grandson, stop making trouble. Your mother will give birth to a younger brother for you in the future."
"Yes! I will give birth to a younger brother!" Cui Yongfang immediately responded.
Liang Tianxiong finally calmed down. He glanced at the wrinkled baby in Cui Yongfang's arms and said with disdain, "How ugly! I don't want to see her!"
"If you don't want to watch, don't watch. Come on, let's go home." Aunt Liang pulled Liang Tianxiong and walked home.
Liang Nan pushed the bicycle, Cui Yongfang sat on the back seat, and they also returned home.
…
The next time Ye Fuyue saw Cui Yongfang was when she was in confinement after giving birth.
At that time, everyone in the compound already knew that Cui Yongfang had given birth to a girl, and no one in the Liang family was happy about it.
People in the slum even gathered together to make fun of Cui Yongfang and the Liang family.
"Aunt Liang boasted in the yard every day, saying that Cui Yongfang must be pregnant with a boy. Well, now it's all good, the boy has turned into a girl."
"Cui Yongfang herself said something like this. She hasn't even given birth yet, but she's saying there's an 80% chance she's pregnant with a boy. I don't know where she got that confidence from. She can have a boy if she wants!"
"Actually, I think it's good to have a girl this time. The first one was a boy, and this one is a girl. It's a perfect match, a son and a daughter, a pair. How wonderful!"
"That's right! But seeing the Liang family unhappy, I'm quite happy. His family has done too many immoral things, so God won't let them have another boy!"
When Ye Fuyue came back from outside that day, she happened to see Cui Yongfang coming outside with a basin of water to pour it.
When she saw Cui Yongfang, Ye Fuyue was stunned for a moment.
Because Cui Yongfang's complexion and complexion did not look very good, and according to the time, Cui Yongfang should be in confinement after giving birth and could not stand the cold, so why would she come out to pour water?
However, Cui Yongfang went in after pouring the water and did not see Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue returned home and talked about this with Chen Guifeng.
Chen Guifeng said, "I heard Cui Yongfang didn't take good care of herself during her pregnancy, and she suffered a bit during childbirth, so her health wasn't good to begin with. She probably feels guilty about giving birth to a daughter and bringing shame to the Liang family. Even during her confinement, she wants to help with some work to avoid making your Aunt Liang dislike her even more."
"I did often see her with a big belly, squatting down to wash clothes, kill fish, and pick vegetables. I also saw her holding a quilt out to dry in the sun." Ye Fuyue said.
