Chapter 332
"What can she say?"
Hu Shan sneered disdainfully, "We can't support a bunch of girls in our family.
"Cousin, where is the money you agreed to pay? It shouldn't be too little, right?"
"Don't worry, you'll be there."
Cousin Hu Shan didn't mind that the baby was a girl, after all, she couldn't have children.
It's better to have a girl than no child at all.
In fact, she and Hu Shan were not real cousins, far from it. She took out fifty yuan from her pocket.
"This fifty yuan is all my family has now. Shan, don't forget your promise.
From now on, neither you nor your wife can claim this child, this child is mine! "The free app of AiDu has the fastest updates, no ads, and the customer service of Chennian Laoshuchong will help you find the books you want to read!
She wants to raise a son to provide for her in her old age, and she doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.
"Sister, don't worry. I have a house full of young ladies, so I don't need this one."
Hu Shan snatched the money from his cousin's hand and walked back quickly without even looking back at the child.
This indifference made Tang Wan feel very uncomfortable.
But it would be better to be adopted than to stay in such a family. At least I'm still alive.
After Hu Shan walked away, Tang Wan slowly walked down the mountain. Her cousin didn't walk fast, and Tang Wan actually caught up with her after taking a few steps.
"Why isn't the child crying? Is there anything wrong?"
The cousin's face was full of confusion as she rocked the baby in her arms. Thinking of Hu Shan's anxious expression, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
“He must be hungry.”
Tang Wan suddenly spoke, which scared the cousin. She looked at Tang Wan warily.
"Who are you?"
"The barefoot doctor in the mountains."
Tang Wan did not hide her identity and said to her cousin Hu Shan, "I was the one who delivered the baby in your womb.
Her mother didn't feed her any milk when she was born, so she's hungry. You can just give her some milk powder when you go back."
The child has no strength left and is almost fainting from hunger.
"You... you saw it?"
Cousin Hu Shan felt a little guilty. After all, it was like selling a child, and she was afraid that Tang Wan would report them.
Unexpectedly, Tang Wan's eyes were indifferent, "I didn't see it, and I don't like to meddle in other people's business."
Seeing that she didn't know how to take care of the baby, she reminded her that after all, it is a life.
"Doctor, can you keep this a secret for me?"
Cousin Hu Shan looked worried, but she knew that she couldn't keep this secret.
After all, they were related, she just tried her best to keep it secret.
"I told you I won't get involved in your affairs. Take your child back home."
Tang Wan sighed. The words "your child" made cousin Hu Shan understand that Tang Wan had absolutely no intention of meddling in other people's business.
She smiled excitedly at Tang Wan, then ran away quickly with the child in her arms, as if she was afraid that Tang Wan would regret it.
After going through so many things along the way, Tang Wan just felt a little tired when she returned.
She came back a little later than usual, and Lu Huaijing had already prepared food for Wang Dani.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her unhappy expression, Lu Huaijing thought she was being bullied and looked as if he wanted to vent her anger.
"Lu Huaijing, if I gave birth to a pair of daughters, would you still ask me to give birth to a son?"
Although she had asked this question before, after staying in the mountains for so long today, she felt that her worldview was about to be shattered.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? No matter whether we are sons or daughters, we are all our flesh and blood."
Lu Huaijing hugged her tenderly and comforted her softly, "What happened to my wife?"
"A girl was delivered today."
Tang Wan told Lu Huaijing and Wang Dani everything that happened today.
Finally, he said helplessly: "Their words and actions made me suspect that I was dreaming.
You know, women's genes are actually stronger, and maternal inheritance is not false.
Some traits are only passed down from generation to generation in females.”
Otherwise, there will be no matriarchal society in the future.
After all, the children born to one's own daughter are definitely one's own flesh and blood, but the children born to other people's parents may not be one's own flesh and blood.
"Wife, that's because they are ignorant."
Lu Huaijing rubbed Tang Wan's head with concern, "Didn't you say that Aunt Hu wanted a granddaughter?
This shows that people in this world are different, and it just so happens that there is a tendency to favor men over women.”
"Yes, Wanwan."
Wang Dani also felt sorry for Tang Wan’s working environment, “But those people are really not human.
After all, she is my daughter, how can I just sell her to someone else? "
"Because I still want to have a son."
Tang Wan guessed Hu Shan's thoughts almost instantly, that the family couldn't afford to support the child.
He could only give the child away and then continue to have children until he had a son.
The three of them were silent for a while, and finally Lu Huaijing spoke up, "Wife, didn't you say before that empathy is the most taboo thing?"
"You reminded me, I should not be too involved in the matter next time."
Tang Wan sighed. As a doctor, she had actually seen a lot of strange things in her previous life.
Maybe she just got into the role and she was not used to it.
But then she would try her best to stay out of it.
"If you feel your mood swings are too great, why not rest at home for a few days?"
Lu Huaijing didn't disagree with Tang Wan's work, but he was worried that she would become obsessed and it would affect him.
Wang Dani also advised: "Wanwan, they are ignorant. Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes."
"Don't worry, mom. I'm just expressing my feelings. I'm fine. Aren't Lu Lin and his friends getting married tomorrow?"
Tang Wan smiled and said, "I have already told the captain that I will take a day off tomorrow."
Wang Dani helped a lot, so Huang Ye was almost ready.
"It's a pity I can't go."
Lu Huaijing didn't have a day off as he had to go to a training camp, so only Tang Wan and Wang Dani could attend the wedding.
That's how soldiers are, orders come so suddenly.
"It's okay, I will bring the blessing to you."
Fortunately, Tang Wan's mood quickly improved, especially when she saw Xiao Heng and Yao Er's smiling faces.
She felt instantly healed.
No wonder some people like children so much. It turns out that children’s angelic smiles really make people feel relaxed.
Of course, the premise is that you can't let your mother do everything, otherwise she will collapse.
Lu Huaijing couldn't help making noise until midnight. Tang Wan was a little speechless, "You still have training tomorrow."
"Wife, your man is strong and healthy!"
Tang Wan's cheeks turned red at someone's shameless words, and she kicked him hard.
"Go to sleep, I'm busy tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay."
Lu Huaijing held her in his arms and fell asleep contentedly. Tang Wan was also too tired and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Lu Huaijing was not at home. She and Wang Dani wrapped the children and put away the things they often used.
"Third sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Just then, Lu Huaili came down with her child to get some fresh air and saw them getting ready to set off.
"Your brother's good friend is getting married, and my mother and I are going to give gifts."
Tang Wan teased Niu Niu and the child in her arms, and Lu Huaili nodded slightly.
Then he lowered his voice and said to Tang Wan: "Third sister-in-law, do you know? Cheng Xiaoyue is finally pregnant."
