Chapter 221 I Should Have Had a Child Long Ago
Chen Cui'e from Dayang Village was also worried. She was cooking dinner when she accidentally cut her finger.
"Hey, hiss," Chen Cui'e quickly put down the knife, put her fingers into her mouth, sucked a few times, and then shouted towards the main room: "Old man, bring me a piece of straw paper."
"Huh? Aren't you cooking? Why do you need toilet paper? Are you feeling sick in your stomach?" Jiang Youtian said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"I cut my hand, it hurts so much. Forget it, let's get some firewood ash!" Chen Cui'e said as she dug some ash out of the stove hole and sprinkled it on her fingers, and the bleeding slowly stopped.
Jiang Youtian frowned and looked at his wife, "What happened? How could you cut your hand?"
"Oh, I was just thinking about Baocheng, and I cut myself without paying attention." Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Chen Cui'e started cutting vegetables again. Jiang Youtian also consciously went to the stove and started burning firewood.
"What happened to Baocheng? Aren't they a good couple?"
Chen Cui'e got angry when she heard her husband say that. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Good, what's good about that? We've been married for more than three years and we don't even have a child. Don't you think this is a joke?"
"I've already told you that both of them went to the hospital for a checkup and are both fine."
In order to avoid being blamed by his parents, Jiang Baocheng hid the actual situation from his wife and told his parents that they were in good health but that their fate had not yet arrived.
"That's what worries me. If there is a problem, there is a solution. Even if there is no solution at the moment, there is still a direction. It's not like now. Sigh."
The more Chen Cui'e spoke, the more worried she became. In fact, she had a vague bad idea in her mind, which was whether the Third Brother and Bai Qianqian were not getting along well?
Jiang Youtian looked at the flames in front of him and sighed, "What can you do if you are worried? The doctor said it's okay, just wait, there will be a cure."
"What if there is no such thing?"
"No, no," Jiang Youtian was stunned by the question, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "This is not difficult. Doesn't the second son's family have two boys? Why not give one to the third son? It's a good idea to keep the wealth within the family!"
"Bullshit, don't you think about how old the two children in the second son's family are? They can remember things. Even if the third son is willing, his in-laws may not agree." Chen Cui'e said with a frown. There was one more thing she didn't say. After all, it was a piece of her own flesh and blood, and the second son's wife would definitely not agree.
Seeing that his opinion was rejected, Jiang Youtian spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then what do you say? We can't give birth to children for them, right?"
Chen Cui'e rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you ashamed? Oh, no, I'm going to go to the next village to find Lai Da Jiao and ask him."
Jiang Youtian got upset when he heard about Lai Dajiao, "Why are you going? Do you want to live? We are not allowed to do these things now, you..."
"What do you know? I'm just being careful. Okay, let's eat quickly. I'll go after you finish eating. You stay at home." Chen Cui'e ignored her husband's objection.
After dinner, Chen Cui'e quickly washed a few dishes and prepared to go to the next village.
"Cui'e, are you really going?"
"Who told you a lie? Don't get in the way. Go early and come back early."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chen Cui'e, Jiang Youtian could only sigh and said, "Wait, I'll get a flashlight."
Chen Cui'e saw her husband take out a brand new flashlight from the house and quickly reached out to take it, but he dodged it again. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? I'll go with you, okay?" Jiang Youtian said and walked out.
When Chen Cui'e heard this, her mouth opened wide and she trotted after him, "Hey, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Chen Cui'e and Jiang Youtian walked quickly and arrived at the next village in about 20 minutes. After all, they were doing something secret and they didn't dare let anyone know. They could only walk in quietly for fear of disturbing some guard dog.
"Is it here? Why don't I remember it being in this location?" Chen Cui'e looked at the courtyard in front of her with some suspicion. She remembered that the courtyard was not so dilapidated when she came here a few years ago. Could it be that she had found the wrong place?
"It's here. I remember there was a pomegranate tree in Lai Dajiao's yard. You also said that pomegranates symbolize many children and good fortune, but Lai Dajiao is the only one in her family, so this blessing did not shine on her." Jiang Youtian nodded affirmatively after seeing the pomegranate tree in the yard in the moonlight.
When Chen Cui'e heard her husband say this, she no longer doubted anything. She walked up to him, knocked on the door gently, and shouted, "Lai Dajiao, are you home?" Fortunately, Lai Dajiao's family lived at the end of the village, quite far away from the house next door, so they would not be discovered as soon as they knocked on the door.
Lai Da Jiao was just about to go to bed in the room when she heard someone calling her outside the door. She squinted her eyes and walked towards the yard in a pair of worn-out shoes.
"Who is it?"
"I have something to talk to you about." When Chen Cui'e saw that the courtyard gate was opened, she didn't care whether Lai Dajiao would let her in or not, and she squeezed in with her husband.
"Which one are you? I'm not quite sure."
"Hey, don't worry about who I am. Let's go inside and talk." Chen Cui'e took the initiative and pushed Lai Da Jiao into the house.
When they got to the house, Lai Da Jiao carefully looked at Chen Cui'e and the other girl by candlelight. As he looked at them, he suddenly laughed, "You are from the next village, right? I remember you came here to calculate the marriages of your two daughters before, right?"
"Yes, yes, you still remember that you said my two daughters would have a good life in the future, and you were right, they are indeed living a good life."
Chen Cui'e was actually a very superstitious person. She had asked fortune tellers to do the fortunes of her children before they got married, but the third child, Jiang Baocheng, was an exception. He had already been married at that time, so she refused to go for a fortune teller. As a result, something went wrong.
"That's right. Apart from anything else, I, Lai Da Jiao, can make some judgments about marriage." Lai Da Jiao was not modest. Her ancestors specialized in this and she was considered the most talented. It's just that she was born in the wrong era.
"You're still talking about this, how come your yard has become so shabby? I almost didn't recognize it and thought I was in the wrong place!" Chen Cui'e pointed outside.
"Well, isn't it because I'm afraid those people will come and cause trouble? If I make my place a little shabby and my house a little messy, they won't cause too much trouble. By the way, you haven't told me what you want from me?"
"Oh, by the way, let's talk about business. Our third child and his wife have been married for several years, but there has been no good news. Can you help me see if there is something wrong?" Chen Cui'e said as she stuffed a dollar into Lai Dajiao's hand.
Lai Da Jiao quickly collected the money and then thought, "Do you have their birth dates?"
"Yes, yes, this is it, let me see it." Chen Cui'e was already prepared. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Lai Dajiao.
Lai Da Jiao looked at the paper, calculated in his mind, and then asked curiously: "Doesn't your third child have a child yet? Logically speaking, they should have had a child a long time ago!"
