Chapter 963: The Bitterness of the Bottom
Fu Jingyou and He Erge were holding steaming enamel pots, standing under the eaves in the yard, chatting about recent news and asking whether the family had slaughtered the New Year pig.
On the other side, in the kitchen, Chen Guifen was busy cooking.
Lu Miao hugged Ming Xia and sat at the stove door, lighting a fire and keeping warm.
While chatting, Lu Miao noticed that Tian Guihua's face was very pale, so he asked:
"Is Second Sister-in-law sick or something? Why does she look so bad?"
"Ah, this..."
Tian Guihua pursed her lips, turned her back and rubbed the corner of her eyes quietly, without saying anything.
The bustling atmosphere seemed to stop in an instant.
Lu Miao looked at Chen Guifen blankly.
She felt that she might have said something wrong, but she really didn't know where.
Chen Guifen sighed slightly.
After easing her heavy mood for a while, Chen Guifen took out a boiled egg from the pot.
Chill the eggs with cold water until they were no longer hot. Chen Guifen waved and called Mingxia over:
"Good boy, go up front and play with your brothers."
When I was in northern Beijing, my home had a kang and a chimney stove, so I didn't feel cold as long as I was indoors.
Back in the south, it was too cold in the summer and I didn’t want to move around, but fortunately the eggs were warm enough to warm my hands.
The little girl took the egg and ran away obediently.
After Chen Guifen sent the child away, she sighed with regret and told the truth:
"A while ago, the village was investigating a typical case, and your second sister-in-law had an abortion injection..."
Not only did Tian Guihua have to receive an induced abortion injection, but He Erge also suffered and was forced to have a sterilization.
Lu Miao was speechless, and suddenly remembered the garbage bag he found next to the garbage station.
This matter was too sad and painful. For a moment, Lu Miao didn't know what to say.
She was silent for a moment, and finally said nothing.
Women are most empathetic to women.
Lu Miao put down the tongs, stood up, walked towards Tian Guihua, and gave her a comforting hug.
Tian Guihua tried to hold on at first.
But when I thought of the bloody pool in the urine bucket, tears started to flow out like beads from a broken string.
Tian Guihua was crying, and Lu Miao hugged her and patted her on the back.
This is the helplessness of the lower-class people under the policy.
The die is cast and there is nothing more to be said.
Maybe it will feel better if you vent it out.
But Lu Miao didn't know that when the commotion started, there was much more to it than that.
Tian Guihua and He Erge were both forced to undergo sterilization. Because of her second pregnancy, Tian Guihua lost her job in the coal factory canteen.
He Erge almost lost his job.
It just so happened that the county leaders came to visit and helped to say a few words, and finally, Brother He was able to barely keep his job.
Tian Guihua has actually been recuperating in the village for the past few months, but she has a mental obstacle and her recuperation has not shown any improvement.
This is a heart disease.
After Chen Guihua cooked the noodles, Tian Guihua gradually stopped crying.
While Lu Miao was helping to serve the noodles, he looked at Tian Guihua and said:
"I don't have a sister-in-law I can talk to in Beijing. After I clean up my house, can you come stay with me for a few days? We haven't seen each other for a year or two. Let's have a good chat."
Tian Guihua wiped the red corners of her eyes and said:
"Xiao Liu sent a letter back earlier, and my family received the news. They packed it up for you early this morning. You can go back and cook as usual, and go to bed and rest as usual."
Lu Miao smiled and said:
"That's perfect. Second sister-in-law is coming to my house today. Auntie is reluctant to light the stove, but it's different over there. It's warm!"
Tian Guihua tilted her head slightly to see what her mother-in-law meant.
