Li Xiuniang felt like she was split into two parts——
Reason told her to stay away from the Gu family and would rather starve to death than have anything to do with the Zhao family.
But my body's instincts were screaming, "Hungry! So hungry! I need to eat! I, I don't want to die."
Pinching her palms hard, she desperately told herself not to beg for mercy from her enemy.
However, her body reacted faster than her brain.
thump!
Li Xiuniang and several little girls who were also dizzy and hungry rushed to the woman holding the baby girl.
He knelt heavily on the ground with his knees, knocking his forehead against the ground: "Buy me, Auntie, please, just buy me!"
"I, I can work! I don't eat much, and I can endure hardship! Just give me a bite to eat!"
"Auntie, I've had my period. I, I can have a baby!"
"And me, I, I don't want anything, just something to eat!"
Several little girls shouted loudly with all their strength.
Their eyes were full of pleading, just to grasp the only glimmer of hope for survival.
Li Xiuniang was also among them, as she still retained a trace of hatred from her previous life.
She knelt down instinctively, but she couldn't utter any words of begging.
"Hey, stop grabbing! What are you grabbing for? I, I didn't say I wanted to buy it."
Zhao is in her thirties this year. Some women of her age have become grandmothers.
But last year, she gave birth to a baby girl.
When my daughter was just born, she was so cute.
The key point is that the daughter was lucky. She saved the lives of the whole family while she was still in her mother's womb.
That was when she was seven or eight months pregnant. She was fine in the morning, but by noon, the baby in her belly was making a lot of noise.
Zhao was kicked in the stomach and turned over. She couldn't bear it any longer.
Her husband, Gu Dahai, was a little worried. "The child is making such a fuss, is he going to come out? Or is he feeling unwell somewhere?"
Gu Dahai was also very concerned about this child who arrived suddenly.
He is a few years older than Zhao and is already over 40.
In ancient times when life expectancy was low, forty years old was the age at which one could call oneself an "old man" and an "elderly person".
Especially for those farmers, they don’t live as luxuriously as the nobles, so they look particularly old.
But at this age, he can still make his wife pregnant, which is enough to prove that he is not old yet.
Men of similar age to him teased him but were secretly envious.
Gu Dahai was very proud.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this child.
Seeing his wife in such a state of distress, the usually frugal Gu Dahai took the initiative to suggest, "Why don't we go to the town's clinic?"
Although Zhao felt sorry for the money, she was the one who would suffer, so she agreed.
The two sons were also sensible. They hurried to help their father pack up the donkey cart, and then helped Zhao get on the donkey cart.
The family of four left home in a hurry.
As soon as they left, wild boars from the mountains broke into the village.
The Gu family's home is at the foot of the mountain, at the outermost edge of the village.
The wild boar rushed to the Gu family first and knocked down the adobe wall.
When the family returned from the town, they heard crying from afar before they even entered the village.
The wild boar killed a child and crippled a young man.
And these two families are neighbors of the Gu family.
Gu Dahai and Zhao were so frightened when they heard their neighbors crying that their faces turned pale.
Looking at the collapsed courtyard wall, they were even more frightened: Fortunately, they were not at home, otherwise, they would be the children killed by the fangs or the people whose legs were trampled off!
Especially Zhao, she is pregnant.
Others can run, can she run too?
Even if you can run, if you fall, it will be a double death.
"Dad, thanks to the baby in your belly. If it weren't for her, our family would have been in great trouble!"
Zhao, who was still in shock, thought extremely quickly and immediately thought of the "hero" who helped her family escape the disaster.
"Yes! Yes! Thanks to this child!"
If the child hadn't been making a fuss, Zhao wouldn't have cried out in pain.
If she hadn't cried out, Gu Dahai wouldn't have worried enough to take her to the clinic.
If their family didn't go to the clinic but stayed at home, then -
Looking at the neighbor's child who died tragically and then at the man with a broken leg, Gu Dahai and his wife felt extremely relieved.
Even the brothers Gu Feng and Gu Rao nodded repeatedly.
In this way, before the baby was born, the baby in the belly became the hero and lucky star of the Gu family.
More than a month later, the little guy was born. He was fair and clean, with incredibly delicate eyebrows and eyes.
"Is this my daughter? Why does she look so much like the golden boy and jade girl under Guanyin's throne?"
Logically speaking, a tiny baby cannot tell what is beautiful or ugly.
However, the daughter born to Zhao was so beautiful that everyone who saw her could not help but admire her:
So fair and beautiful, could she be the reincarnation of a fairy from heaven?
Not to mention their small Gujia Village, even if you look across the entire county, you probably won’t find such a good-looking child.
She was already an extremely valued "old girl", and with the addition of her life-saving grace and the fact that she gave birth to a good child, the whole Gu family simply held her in their hands and cherished her in their mouths.
For example, at this moment, if other children were to "play tricks" with their mother and say they wanted to buy a girl or something, the mother would definitely raise her hand and slap the child on the butt twice.
As for Gu Qingcheng, the little girl of the Gu family, not only did she not attract any punishment from Zhao, Zhao did not even say a harsh word to her.
