When her husband again persuaded her to abort the baby, Zhang Mingzhu agreed.
However, Lin Anxiang consulted someone outside and was told that the baby was too old and it would be dangerous for the adults.
So the child was not aborted and was born.
It was a girl. Not a boy. Liu Mingzhu didn't like her. If she were a boy, she would have fought tooth and nail to find her biological father.
But she is a girl. What's the point of finding her? She is just a girl, not a big enough bargaining chip.
Since she is not his own child, Lin Anxiang doesn't like her either.
This dislike reached its peak when Zhang Mingzhu was still unwilling to sleep with him after she gave birth, and turned directly into disgust.
Even the dumbest and slowest person would realize that Zhang Mingzhu had someone in her heart, and that person was the child's biological father.
Every time his wife rejected him, Lin Anxiang felt more disgusted.
It was not until the child could walk that the couple had their first time, under the coercion of Lin Anxiang and the half-hearted consent of Zhang Mingzhu.
After their first pregnancy, the couple's relationship warmed up. However, the good times didn't last long. When Zhang Mingzhu was pregnant for the second time, Lin Anxiang discovered that she was having an affair with another man.
This made Lin Anxiang so angry that he almost died.
He had been bullied for over a year, and for her sake, he was willing to raise a daughter who wasn't his own. But how did Zhang Mingzhu treat him? She was actually having an affair with another man.
Lin Anxiang couldn't bear to hit her, nor could he hit her.
Because she was pregnant with a child, which was most likely his own. In the end, he had no choice but to vent his anger on Lin Shijie.
Speaking of the name Lin Shijie, he specially chose it.
His third brother picked several names for children and kept them at home. When a new baby was born, he could pick one he liked.
Lin Shijie, this was specially chosen by him for his eldest daughter.
The poem is pure, the poem is pure, and it is dishonest.
This is a reminder that Zhang Mingzhu lost her virginity before she even got married.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Zhang Mingzhu did not dare to step forward to dissuade or stop the beating when she saw her eldest daughter being beaten.
If it weren't for her, there's no way I could have married here.
A single beating turned into prolonged abuse. This is how Lin Shijie grew up, being beaten.
Even though Zhang Mingzhu had given birth to a boy who looked just like her husband, and the couple's relationship couldn't be better, the beatings Lin Shijie received did not stop.
Anyway, it wasn't her who was beaten or scolded, so Zhang Mingzhu didn't care about her daughter being beaten. Of course, occasionally when she was in a good mood, she would also care about her daughter and say a few words to gain her daughter's dependence on her.
It would be so fulfilling if you could easily gain someone's gratitude just by talking!
Zhang Mingzhu thought that this kind of life would continue until her eldest daughter got married, but who knew that when her eldest daughter was nine years old, she changed.
At that time, the third wife's daughter, who was raised outside, had just been brought back to the Lin family not long ago. Then, when the child was out, she fell into the water and drowned.
It was during that time that the child changed.
She didn't care, thinking she changed because she was frightened.
She didn't care about the child in the first place, so she wouldn't ask why the child had changed.
Not to mention that at that time the family was in the midst of a family split and the situation was very chaotic.
The usually taciturn eldest uncle was clamoring for a division of the family property, which made Mr. Lin furious. What made Mr. Lin even angrier was that his third brother Lin Anru demanded that Mr. Lin get a larger share of the family property.
It was also at that time that everyone realized that Lin Anru had never used a penny of his family's money to study, and he even paid extra household expenses during that period.
The reason why he didn't mention it before was because the money he earned was enough for the family to get by. Now, because of the loss of their daughter, the third brother's wife was devastated and her health collapsed. She urgently needed a large amount of money for medical treatment.
The third brother, who had never fought for anything, started to fight, and it wasn't so easy to end it.
However, the matter did not last long, after all, the sick sister-in-law could not wait.
In the end, the family property was divided equally into three parts. The second elder of the Lin family stayed with Lin Anji, and the other two brothers only had to give money to the second elder during festivals.
After the family split up, Lin Anji didn't seem as happy as he had imagined. He thought the second elders of the Lin family favored the third elder, but in the end he found out that he was the one who was favored, and he has been depressed ever since.
The third brother took his wife to see a doctor after getting the money, but the illness was not cured and he even owed money to Lin Anyi's husband's family.
Only the second room has the easiest time.
He took the money from the division of the family property, and then went to Zhangjia Village to ask Zhang's father and mother for a subsidy. Then he happily built a new house.
After the new house was built, Lin Shijie had her own room and was beaten less often.
Zhang Mingzhu didn't feel anything special because she fought less. As long as it didn't affect her, it was fine.
Just like her eldest daughter has been going out early and coming back late recently, as long as it does not affect the family or herself, she will not interfere.
Life after the separation was very comfortable. Without the supervision of her parents-in-law and the housework to worry about, Zhang Mingzhu became more and more beautiful.
The eldest daughter spent less time at home, and the relationship between her and her husband became more and more harmonious.
The good times didn't last long and were broken again.
Natural disasters hit one after another, and the family's food supply quickly ran out. Even with subsidies from their parents-in-law and help from the Chang family, there was still not enough food for their whole family.
When they set their sights on the eldest daughter, she actually dug up a lot of food in her house.
There was enough food for their whole family, and perhaps even more.
At the suggestion of their eldest daughter, they secretly sold the grain for a lot of silver.
People outside were living in dire straits, the imperial court did nothing, and grain was sold at sky-high prices.
Their family became rich overnight.
Even if the disaster outside is not over, it will be of no use for them to have so much money.
However, because the eldest daughter saved the family by storing food and earned so much money for the family, her husband's attitude towards her improved a lot. At least he never hit her again.
After the natural disaster, the family took the money and went to live in the provincial capital.
At that time, Lin Shijie had grown up and her face was even more beautiful than Zhang Mingzhu.
It was so beautiful that Zhang Mingzhu would feel jealous whenever she saw her face.
But even though she was jealous, Zhang Mingzhu was smart enough not to have the urge to destroy her.
Because my daughter's face is money. As long as my daughter is around, the family will not starve to death even if they don't go out to work.
There are always rich young men who provide them with money.
This kind of life without having to work and still enjoying life was really wonderful. Zhang Mingzhu thought her daughter would pick a rich husband from among those young men so that her life would continue to be prosperous.
Unexpectedly, she didn't.
I don't know how she did it, but she got in touch with the young man in the capital.
