Chapter 1612: Abandoned Baby in Front of Carriage 4
Lu Jiang sent Han Ping and Liu Yan to greet their guests, and kept Director Liu behind. "Send someone to find out who has been wandering in front of the car with a basket. Also, find out whose family has given birth and left the child here. Generally speaking, the family is nearby, not too far away, unless the other party has come all the way here."
"Yes, I'll send someone right away."
Director Liu was about to send someone to investigate, but Feng Qingxue stopped him and said, "By the way, check whether they deliberately put the child under the front tire of the car to kill the child! This is intentional homicide!"
Director Liu's heart trembled, and he suddenly asked, "Leader, take a look, is it a girl?"
A large proportion of urban residents came from rural areas, and as the director of the police station, Director Liu often came into contact with the situations below. He was aware of many cases caused by the feudal idea of favoring boys over girls. No matter how slogans such as "Women hold up half the sky", "Gender equality", and "Infant drowning is intentional homicide" were written on the walls, they still could not change the idea of favoring boys over girls among many people.
Han Ping once conducted a survey and found that 127 babies died in a certain people's commune within a year, of which 108 were girls. They were also born not long ago. Could it be that girls are really not as strong as boys? Obviously not.
Therefore, the cause of death of the 108 baby girls can be imagined.
Faced with this situation, Director Liu was powerless.

Seeing Feng Qingxue wrapping the baby in a cotton-padded jacket and a military coat with a gentle expression, Director Liu sighed slightly, "Thanks to the two leaders, this child has saved his life."
There are always some parents who believe that they have the right to decide the life or death of their own children.
No matter what, as long as the child is healthy and has food to eat, he can survive.
Feng Qingxue asked Lu Jiang to pour hot water, and she unbuttoned her military coat, jacket, and cotton-padded jacket, and held the baby in her arms. She was wearing a military coat lined with lambskin, and underneath it were autumn clothes, cashmere clothes and pants, a mink vest, and a military cotton-padded jacket issued by the army. She was fully armed. The baby, who seemed to have been born only a few days ago, actually knew to stick to her arms and absorb the warmth from her body.
At the same time, Director Liu also understood the reason for placing the child under the front tire of the car.
"Liu Ran, go to the cafeteria and ask for a bowl of rice soup." There was no milk or milk powder, so he could only feed her some rice soup first.
"What's the reason?" Feng Qingxue couldn't help but ask after hearing him speak. Is there something she doesn't know?
There was nothing in the basket that could identify the baby, but the torn swaddling clothes and small torn quilt were washed very clean. Lu Jiang brought some warm water and fed the baby a few sips. He untied the swaddling clothes and took a look. It was indeed a baby girl.
Liu Ran agreed and left quickly.
Director Liu whispered, "There is a saying, which is actually a kind of feudal superstition, that the more miserable the death of a baby girl, the less likely she is to come back to avenge her parents, and the parents will give birth to a boy next time. Therefore, many baby girls died particularly miserably. Some were drowned, some were buried alive, some had their heads smashed, some were strangled, and there are all kinds of ways to die, too numerous to mention."
A chill crept up Feng Qingxue's back, and her face turned as pale as paper.
Under the influence of the maids hired by the Lu family and the management of Wang Zhengguo, the slogan of gender equality was fully promoted after liberation. Also, because Wang Zhengguo doted on his only daughter, Wanglou Brigade was considered the brigade with the highest status for girls in the surrounding area. Even so, there were people who favored boys over girls in private, let alone other places?
In the 1980s and 1990s, this situation still existed in rural areas. It was said that the more tragic the death of a baby girl, the better. So there is a reason why there are so many bachelors now. Our clan has not married for more than four years. There are more than a dozen bachelor boys aged 23 to 28 or 29, and there seem to be some in their early 30s. There are only two girls left who are still taken.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
