Chapter 121: Raising a Fetus

"Grandma, I don't want to be a maid. Please don't sell me. My sister is only three years old. She is only three years old!! Grandma, I beg you, please take my sister home, just her!"

The ignorant Sun Simei only knew that her sister was very sad.

She knelt on the ground like her sister and cried loudly.

Sun Lai Di crawled to Zhou Xiufen and hugged her legs tightly.

Praying.

The small hands and thin arms seemed to have used up all their strength.

They were afraid that grandma would abandon them and run away.

"Stop making trouble. The indenture has been signed. From now on, you are no longer my granddaughters. I am leaving. Remember my words. If you make money in the future, you must bring it back to repay us."

For fear of being pestered by her granddaughter, Zhou Xiufen did not dare to say too much.

She cruelly pried open Sun Lai Di's hands.

He left without looking back.

The look of determination made Sun Lai Di let out a miserable scream.

"grandmother--"

This sound is very penetrating.

Zhou Xiufen heard it clearly.

Her steps not only did not slow down, but became faster.

When I returned to Sunjia Village.

It was already late afternoon.

"Mother, how much money did you get from the sale?"

The grandson came out of the outhouse in the backyard holding up his pants after defecating, and just in time he saw his mother coming back with a lot of bags.

The two daughters who went out with him were not around.

He knew in his heart that his daughters had probably been sold.

So he asked about the price.

"It's sold. Times are bad now, and many families are selling their children. The price is a bit low. I spent the whole morning looking for a suitable one. I sold it for four taels of silver, and I bought a pound of meat for you and Sanhe to nourish your bodies. Oh, and I also bought the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that Sanhe takes in June, so you don't have to make another trip."

Zhou Xiufen looked delighted.

"Four taels? That's great, it's not a loss to sell them. Even if you marry them off, the betrothal gift is only two taels. If you had known that girls were so valuable, you should have sold them when they were just born."

The grandson has no feelings for his two daughters.

The eldest daughter is fine.

After all, it is his first child.

Although she is a girl, she is special.

He was reluctant to sell it.

But he didn't even want to look at his other two daughters.

It's all because of them that he still has no son.

It was they who blocked their brother's way.

It's okay to sell it.

There is too much negative energy in the house. What if my son doesn’t come?

Sun Fu thought in his heart.

"Alright, your face hasn't healed yet, go inside and rest, I'll cook."

Zhou Xiufen couldn't hide the joy on her face.

At dinner time.

It was rare to see a plate of meat on Sun's dining table.

Zhou Xiufen took out half of it and then filled a full cup of brown rice porridge and brought it to Jiang Sanhe's room.

"Mom, I only need to eat half of it. This is too much. I can't finish it. Besides, didn't the doctor tell me to only eat until I'm 70% full?"

Jiang Sanhe looked at the bowl full of brown rice porridge and the finger-thick dish.

She was stunned.

"Don't take what the doctor says seriously, he's just trying to scare you. Eat well, and my grandson will be healthy. Take good care of the baby, the bigger it gets, the easier it will be to take care of. Listen to me, don't worry, I won't harm you."

Zhou Xiufen's eyes rolled.

She picked up the bowl and put it in Jiang Sanhe's hand.

Encourage her to eat more.

As for whether her daughter-in-law will have a difficult delivery, she has no control over it.

As long as her grandson can be born safely.

It is said that the womb is the most nourishing place for a baby.

As long as she eats plenty and keeps her grandson fat, he will naturally not get sick.

Jiang Sanhe didn't know what Zhou Xiufen was thinking.

She thought her mother-in-law cared about her a lot.

That was so touching.

In the end, Jiang Sanhe ate the entire bowl of porridge and vegetables.

She was almost vomiting because of the strain.

Until it was almost dark, Jiang Sanhe did not ask her mother-in-law where her two daughters were.

Until Sun Zhaodi walked in quietly.

"Mom, did grandma sell my sisters?"

Sun Zhaodi's eyes were red.

"Well, it's sold. From now on, there will only be you and your brother at home. You have to work harder. When your brother comes out, our life will be better."

Jiang Sanhe leaned on the bed.

Her expression did not change.

It seemed like she was talking about someone who had nothing to do with her.

"Mom, why did you agree to let grandma sell my sister off? Mom, you..."

Sun Zhaodi didn't finish her words.

He was interrupted by Jiang Sanhe.

"Shut up! If you keep making trouble, I'll have your grandma sell you too. Our family is so poor that we can't even make ends meet. What else can we do if we don't sell them off? How can your brother be born safely? I think it's worth exchanging two worthless girls for a son!"

Jiang Sanhe's voice was exceptionally cold.

After saying this, she drove her daughter out of the house.

In the backyard.

Sun Zhaodi squatted beside the chicken coop, crying silently.

No one knows.

Jiangjia Village on the other side.

After finishing her meal, Zhang Jinlan took Jiang Fubao to Ma Chunxia's house next door.

Although both families lived at the end of the village, they were not next to each other.

The door is open.

Zhang Jinlan knocked on the door and walked in confidently.

"No one's home—"

She shouted.

The next second, Ma Chunxia came out of the main room holding a bowl of rice.

"Hey, Jiang's sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are so busy, but you still have time to chat with me?"

Because I'm busy with the shop these days.

Zhang Jinlan usually goes to bed after dinner.

As a result, Ma Chunxia didn't see her for several days.

She took a mouthful of brown rice porridge, knocked on the bowl and said jokingly.

"You eat first. I'm not in a hurry. I just came to talk to you about something."

Zhang Jinlan took a bench and sat in the yard with her granddaughter.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Ma Chunxia felt that the rice in the bowl no longer tasted fragrant.

She quickly finished the last few bites.

After putting the bowl on the table in the main room, he asked Zhang Jinlan.

"I'm telling you the truth. I've been so busy lately because I'm doing some food business in town. Please don't tell the villagers. I don't want them to know for the time being.

Over the years, we have been the best friends in the village. If I have good news, I will come to you first. Here, the bamboo tube on your table, polished and smoothed, bring it to me. I will give you one penny for every five you take, no upper limit.

Zhang Jinlan pointed at the bamboo tube on the table and said to Ma Chunxia.

"You're a food dealer? No wonder you've been out every day lately. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. As for the bamboo tube you mentioned, are you really going to take it? There's a large bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. You can just go cut some bamboo yourself. It won't take much effort."

Ma Chunxia thought Zhang Jinlan was joking.

She didn't take it seriously.

"I really do. Of course, if you don't have time, I'll go find someone else."

Zhang Jinlan picked up Jiang Fubao and prepared to leave.

Ma Chunxia was so scared that she grabbed her.

"Hey, Sister Jinlan, what's the relationship between us? Even if I don't have time, I have to make time to make bamboo tubes for you. Don't look for others. Hehe, I agree to this, but how many bamboo tubes do you want?"
