The bleeding wouldn't stop, which was really unusual. Worried about her mother, the father took her to the local town clinic...
"It wasn't your period. You miscarried. Your body is too weak. I'm afraid you'll never be able to get pregnant again." Hearing the doctor's words, the beautiful mother, who had hoped to have another boy for her husband, was stunned as if struck by lightning.
She lay flat on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, tears streaming down her face, her lips trembling.
Her handsome father, with his back to her, took a deep breath and turned around to walk over from the doorway.
"Honey, don't be sad. We already have two kids, right? If you don't want to have any more, then so be it. I'm already content." The father understood the mother's feelings. He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and hugged her, and secretly let out a long breath. "To be honest, I never thought that I had to have you have a boy or anything. We are people of the new era. We can't have such outdated ideas anymore."
“But I want to give you a boy,” the mother said, sniffling.
“When you gave birth to Meimei, you almost died from blood and qi deficiency. I don’t want to be frightened like that again.” Mei’s father is a rare good man. The more he said this, the more upset Mei’s mother felt, and the more she felt that she had let him down.
"Waaah..." The baby girl who had been found cried loudly next to her mother. Her wrinkled little face seemed even uglier to her mother.
It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have miscarried... Looking at the baby girl, the sadness in the mother's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a faint trace of resentment...
"Sigh!" The father sighed inwardly, got up, moved to the other side of the bed, bent down and picked up the baby girl. He looked at her gently, "You're a poor child too. It's fate that we found you on the street..."
That's life. Sometimes, whether it's sadness or joy, once everything is set in stone, there's nothing you can do to change it.
The scene shifts to a light drizzle. A tall, slender girl, about six or seven years old, walks hunched over, carrying a bundle of firewood on her back, along a path at the foot of the mountain. Meanwhile, another petite girl, not much taller than her, walks gracefully, carrying only a schoolbag and holding a small floral umbrella.
"Mom, Mom, I got 70 points on my test today. The teacher said I improved by 10 points compared to last time." It was Su Mei carrying a schoolbag. She quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab her mother, who was also carrying a large bundle of firewood. Her face was flushed.
As Su Mei spoke, she kept turning back to look at little Su Li following behind her, "My little sister hasn't started school yet,"
“Yes, my younger sister isn’t in school yet. She’s strong, so she’s helping carry firewood first…” Mom turned around, raised her hand to wipe Mei Mei’s forehead, and said softly, “Honey, go back quickly, have a cup of tea and then do your homework. Try to get a 90 next time.”
"What reward will Mom give me?" Su Mei's eyes darted around as she looked at Xiao Su Li.
"What do you want?" This child must have something she wants. But that's good, it gives her the motivation to study.
"I... I want Mom to stop making my little sister carry firewood from now on." Looking at the little body bent over by the weight, Meimei opened her mouth and said what was on her mind.
"You, you bastard!" *Slap!* A slap landed on Su Mei's shoulder. Her mother's face suddenly changed color. Gasping for breath, she angrily shouted, "You care about your sister, but don't you care about your mother? You know I've always been in poor health..."
