1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 375 Sister is about to give birth (two in one)

Li Duoyu quickly got up and ran to Shuihua's room.

 “Sister, what’s wrong with you?”

 “It’s already starting to hurt.”

Zhou Xiaoying also came and saw that her sister was in so much pain that she couldn't sit up. Her forehead was covered with sweat and the blood on her pants had dried up.

 Zhou Xiaoying said distressedly: "I'm already blushing, why didn't I say anything?"

"You seem to be very busy recently. I have already given birth to two children, so I am very experienced. I plan to call you when I am about to give birth."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed and said to Li Duoyu: "I quickly went to find my mother-in-law and said that my sister's stomach has started to hurt."

Li Duoyu knew very well that sister not only turned red, but also started to have contractions, which were regular and strong.

Perhaps, it is possible to give birth to the child today. To be honest, Li Duoyu was a little angry. He was blushing and was about to give birth, but he still didn't call him a family member.

Li Duoyu glanced at the scissors placed near the bedside. Judging from the situation, her sister was afraid of troublesome them and wanted to secretly give birth to the child by herself.

However, it is not impossible. My sister’s third child was born on a train in her previous life.

Li Duoyu quickly walked to the village square and quickly called back A Niang who was walking Little Tutu.

 In fact, many neighbors already know that there is an extra person in their family, but everyone pretends not to know.

 After hearing the cry of pain.

 Lao Hu directly carried a small bag, locked all the doors of his house, and prepared to hide outside for a few days.

"One look" means standing in a family with a child who has given birth and looking around. If you see a house that you see, you need to provide information about the family. If you don't provide information, you will be implicated, and you will be fined and warned, and the furniture in the house will be taken away in serious cases.

"Throwing a mallet" means standing in this household and throwing a mallet in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions. Everything within the range will also be affected.

 The purpose of this approach is to force everyone to report illegal lives.

 But this time, after the women's director Liu Xiuzhu heard the news, she simply packed her luggage and got on the passenger ship to Qingkou Pier.

As a result, a large group of Li Duoyu's neighbors were found on the passenger ship, including Lao Hu, Wang Po, and Lin Shanshan.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

 Lao Hu smiled and said, "Director Liu, you also want to go out and play."

Liu Xiuzhu naturally knew what they were hiding from: "I will go to the county to hold a meeting for a few days."

“What a coincidence, I also went to the county to take care of my Zhizhong’s child for two days.”

"Hahaha."

The group of people laughed awkwardly.

At this time, the man in the village nicknamed "Stinky Feet" was the single dog on the island who specialized in selling dogs.

I don’t know. I don’t know if I have grown dog ears because I have been living with dogs for a long time. I heard something going on at Li Duoyu’s house from afar.

Hurry to the house of women director Liu Xiuzhu. Seeing that her door was closed, she started beating her.

“Director, there is something going on at Li Duoyu’s house. It feels like someone is trying to steal their lives. Let’s go and arrest them quickly.”

There is another reason why Stinky Feet is disliked by everyone. He is from the Family Planning Office and Director Liu’s side.

He liked to do things like ripping tiles and pulling furniture. But after knocking on the door for a long time, it was not Liu Xiuzhu who came out, but her son.

“Liu Hao, is your mother at home?”

After seeing the smelly feet, Liu Hao frowned and said, "Is something wrong? My mother went out for a meeting and is not at home."

 “Then Director Liu, when will he be back?”

 “How many days may it take?”

Stinky Feet couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, it won't be open in the morning, it won't be open in the evening, why go to a meeting at this time?"

 At this time.

Stinky Feet suddenly thought of Wang Dapao, who couldn't deal with Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu’s relatives are hiding in their house to make a living. If they are caught, the village director will definitely be kicked off.

If you want to tell Wang Dapao about this, if you get Li Duoyu off, you might be able to get an official position in the village committee.

Stinky Feet ran to Wang Dapao's house and gasped: "Wang Dapao, no, Party Secretary Wang, I have some important news for you."

Stinky Feet said with great joy, while Wang Jinshan's face turned darker and darker.

“Party Secretary Wang, let’s take people to arrest him quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to wait until the child is born.”

Wang Dapao gestured to Wang Jinshan.

Wang Jinshan immediately understood and walked out of the yard.

 After a while.

Several young people from the village came. Shitou, Zhao Erniu, Li Qingguang, Chen Liang, Heigou and Wang Jinshan surrounded the smelly feet.

Stinky Feet asked in surprise: "What do you want to do?"

 Chen Liang chuckled and clenched his fists: "Nothing is going on. It's just that someone's feet stink so much, it's worse than a latrine. We want to throw him into the sea to wash him."

Shitou smiled and said, "I think people like this should be driven out of our village."

Stinky Foot glanced at Wang Jinshan and Wang Dapao, who had no intention of caring about this matter, suddenly came to his senses.

“I understand, you are deliberately protecting Li Duoyu.”

“You are committing a crime and I want the town to report you.”

 “I asked you to report it.”

Everyone took off their clothes one after another, wrapped them around their fists, and punched their smelly feet.

“I asked you to poke the tiles of my brother’s house two years ago.”

 “I let you keep the dog all day long, and it stunk into my house.”

 “I told you not to have eyesight and dare to mess with our village director.”

 “I asked you to report it.”

 When a woman gives birth to a child, men really can't help. Seeing that her brother-in-law hasn't come yet, the only thing Li Duoyu can do now is to go to the next town to pick him up.

Li Duoyu drove for almost an hour and a half, and arrived at Shanggang Village in the next town.

 After arriving at the pier of their village.

Li Duoyu then discovered that the number of fishing boats in Shanggang Village where his brother-in-law was located was no less than that in Xiasha Village.

However, compared with the fishing boat Li Duoyu, the gap is still quite big.

As soon as his fishing boat arrived at the pier, it attracted everyone’s attention, all staring at his fishing boat.

Li Duoyu, who was very anxious, parked the fishing boat, tied the rope, and immediately paid the dock administrator 50 cents for the parking fee.

“Uncle, please ask again, where is Zhang Mingsheng’s family?”

 The administrator uncle said doubtfully:

“Comrade, what is your relationship with Zhang Mingsheng?”

 “I am his brother-in-law.”

The administrator understood instantly: "Oh, you are Shuihua's brother, Mingsheng. His home is in the two-story stone house in front."

 “So close.”

Looking at the two-story stone house not far away, Li Duoyu was in a daze and had no memory at all.

Li Duoyu also visited Shanggang Village once when his sister got married. Now that it has been nearly "more than forty years", he has really forgotten everything.

 “Okay, thank you, uncle.”

As soon as Li Duoyu left, the fishermen on the pier started talking.

“It turns out that Li Shuihua’s natal family is so rich. I thought Zhang Mingsheng lied to us.”

 “How much does this boat cost?”

“It will definitely not be cheap, it should cost tens of thousands of yuan.”

　　A village woman carrying a child in a bamboo basket said while weaving a net: "No matter how much money my parents have, it's not that they can't give birth to a boy. In our case, if we can't give birth to a boy, it's just useless."

 Another village woman whispered:

“I heard someone say that Shuihua seems to have secretly given birth to three children in hiding recently.”

"real or fake?"

"It should be true. It seems that I haven't seen her for more than half a year. And these days, her husband is also borrowing money from everywhere. I suspect it is just to pay the fine for childbirth."

“So, Shui Hua should be giving birth soon. I don’t know if it will be a boy or a girl.”

 “I feel that she will still give birth to a girl.”

When Li Duoyu came to the stone house, he did not find his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng. There was only an old lady weaving a net in the yard.

“Auntie, may I ask, is Zhang Mingsheng at home?”

The somewhat deaf lady replied:

 “Who are you looking for?”

“Looking for Zhang Mingsheng.” “What are you looking for?”

Li Duoyu approached the aunt and shouted: "I'm looking for Zhang Mingsheng"

The aunt waved him in disgust:

“Listen clearly, don’t speak so loudly, you’re going to deafen your ears. Mingsheng, he seems to have gone to his second uncle’s house.”

“Madam, do you know where my second uncle is?”

The aunt pointed to a building not far away and said: "The most beautiful house in the village belongs to the second son of my family."

 “Thank you, aunt.”

Li Duoyu took a quick look and knew which house belonged to Zhang Mingsheng's second uncle. Anyone who could lay ceramic tiles these days had some skills.

When Li Duoyu first arrived at the family's courtyard and was about to knock on the door, he heard a group of women inside talking about things related to his sister, and his brother-in-law was also in the courtyard.

The seven aunts and eight aunts gathered together and kept asking Zhang Mingsheng various questions.

 “When will the water flower bloom?”

 “Soon, just in the next two weeks.”

"Speaking of which, your family is the only one in our Zhang family that has not given birth to a boy. Mingsheng, you have to work harder."

 Zhang Mingsheng smiled bitterly and nodded.

 “I’ve tried harder.”

"What's the point of trying hard? You have to give birth to a boy. Shuihua has already given birth to two girls. If there is another girl, it depends on what you will do."

 The short-haired middle-aged woman next to Zhang Mingsheng snorted coldly:

“If she dares to give birth to a girl again, and the child is born, I will give it away directly and let her have another child immediately.”

 “What if Shuihua refuses?”

"It is her responsibility to carry on the family line. She has no choice. If she really refuses, let her pack up and get out. There are many people in my family who want to marry."

Zhang Mingsheng frowned and said, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. How can you give your child away casually? Even if it's a girl, she's still your granddaughter."

 Mother Zhang glared and said, "The grandson I want is not a granddaughter."

Zhang Mingsheng's second aunt then said, "Mingsheng, your mother is right. It is our women's business to carry on the family line. You men, just be responsible for making money. As long as you make enough, you are not afraid even if you have four children." "

 After saying this, the woman took out a wad of money from her pocket and said:

"I'll lend you these two thousand yuan first, but your second uncle said that if the baby is still a girl, he will take back the two thousand yuan and won't let you use the money to pay the fine."

When Zhang Mingsheng accepted the money, he felt very uncomfortable. After all, he had promised Shui Hua that the first child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, must be kept and must not be given away.

But if he stays, he will definitely have to pay a fine. He has secretly asked the relevant organizations. If he has another child, the next two children will have to pay fines.

He has to pay almost 6,500 yuan. If he fails to pay, his fishing boat will be confiscated directly.

 They would even remove the tiles from his house.

 But in the past six months, he has been working hard to fish, but he has been unlucky. During the New Year months, there were pirates and no one dared to go fishing in the open sea.

Finally the pirate was caught. Because he went fishing in unfamiliar waters, he ran aground directly on the rocks and spent a lot of money repairing the boat.

 In half a year, he only earned more than 3,000 yuan. Adding in his previous savings, there was still a shortfall of about 2,000 yuan.

He had no other choice, so he asked relatives to borrow money. Although the second aunt's words were unpleasant, for the sake of money, he had no choice but to endure it and get the money first.

 Li Duoyu, who heard this at the door, was really annoyed.

Logically speaking, this group of women were obviously victims of patriarchy, but in the end they all became perpetrators.

 The most difficult thing for women is indeed women.

 Brother-in-law’s mother said that if the child is a girl, she will give it away directly. This is definitely not a joke, this is what she will do.

Li Duoyu remembers very clearly that her sister hid in Tibet in her previous life and finally gave birth to her third child.

 I returned home half a year later, but after my brother-in-law’s family found out that the third child was still a girl, they pretended at first that they wanted to help take care of the child, but they didn’t want to take advantage of my brother-in-law’s overseas trip.

 While she was sleeping, she wanted to secretly give her daughter to someone else.

That time, not only the third child, but also the second child was almost sent out of town. Fortunately, a kind person secretly told my sister.

 Then the child was snatched back.

It was because of this incident that Sister A took her children and ran to Rongcheng to live alone.

To be honest, Li Duoyu is disgusted with his brother-in-law's family and relatives from the bottom of his heart.

 The kind that makes you feel sick when you get close to it.

Li Duoyu, who has been a man for two generations, has seen many kinds of "evil", and the evil of this feudal ideology is definitely the cancer among cancers.

Li Duoyu, who was a little angry, patted the iron door and said on the spot:

"Mingsheng, return the money to him. It's only two thousand yuan. I can give it to you directly."

 Zhang Mingsheng turned around sharply:

 “Duoyu, why are you here?”

The women in the yard were quite surprised when they heard that someone was willing to directly give them two thousand yuan.

“Mingsheng, who is this?”

 Zhang Mingsheng said: "Second aunt, Aniang, as I told you before, he is Li Duoyu, Shuihua's younger brother."

Mother Zhang changed her previous viciousness and said with a smile: "So it's my in-laws, come in and sit down."

Li Duoyu didn't even look at her, and said directly to Zhang Mingsheng: "You return the money to her, and I will pay for it."

 “A lot of fish. Isn’t this good?”

 “There is no good or bad, only right or wrong.”

Li Duoyu interrupted directly: "Hurry up and give it back. My sister raised me when I was a child. It doesn't matter if I give her one or two thousand yuan for confinement."

Seeing Li Duoyu's dark face, Zhang Mingsheng had already guessed that she had most likely heard what his second aunt and grandma just said.

 Zhang Mingsheng returned the money on the spot.

 “I won’t borrow this money anymore.”

 See him return the money.

Zhang Mingsheng's second aunt was surprised and said: "Mingsheng, you have thought carefully about it. If you want to return it to me, I will definitely not lend it to you next time."

Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "It's only two thousand yuan. If you can borrow anything, I can just give it to you, okay?"

 Li Duoyu continued:

 “Follow me for a moment.”

 Zhang Mingsheng reacted instantly: "Really, your sister?"

 Zhang Mingsheng did not say anything clearly, but quickly followed him. Zhang’s mother also realized that something was wrong and asked quickly:

“My dear, are the flowers blooming soon? I’ll go with you.”

Li Duoyu sneered and said, "It's none of your business to have a child in my family."

Li Duoyu’s words shocked all the women present. The second aunt lowered her face and said:

"You young man, how can you talk? I am from your family. Shuihua belongs to our Zhang family."

Li Duoyu sneered: "You Zhang family are not worthy of my sister."

"My in-laws, no matter what you say, Shui Hua has already married her, so her affairs will naturally be taken care of by my husband's family."

Although quarreling with them will make him look very childish, Li Duoyu really hates such people.

"This is hard to say. From now on, I will really take care of my sister's affairs."

Mother Zhang was really angry: "Young man, why don't you understand etiquette at all?"

"Etiquette is for people. If my own granddaughter wants to take her away and give it away, is she still a person?"

Zhang Mu's chest heaved with anger: "You young man, what do you know? There are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir."

 “Foolishness.”

This was the first time that Zhang Mingsheng saw Li Duoyu so angry, so he quickly tried to persuade him: "Auntie, can you please stop saying a few words?"

Li Duoyu glanced at them and couldn't help but sigh. After personally contacting her sister's husband's family, she finally understood why her entire personality changed after she got married.

 “Brother-in-law, let’s go, it’s too late.”

Zhang Mingsheng followed up in two steps and apologized: "Duoyu, I'm really sorry, Duoyu, for making you hear unpleasant words."

Li Duoyu said with a cold face: "My sister is very important to me. If one day she really feels wronged, then I can only say sorry to you."

 Zhang Mingsheng lowered his head: "I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for Shui Hua."

 Li Duoyu patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad, you are already much better than the people in your village."

 “Hehe, I think so too.”

“You said you were fat and you were breathless. If you really love my sister, you shouldn’t let her have a third child.”

After taking his brother-in-law with him, Li Duoyu drove away in a fishing boat. Not far away, Zhang Mingsheng’s second aunt couldn’t help but ask.

“Camellia, who is Shuihua’s brother? How could he be so generous? He gave me two thousand yuan and such a beautiful boat.”

Liu Camellia frowned and said, "Shuihua has said that his brother is now the village director of Xiasha Village."

Zhang Mingsheng’s second aunt asked in surprise: “That village where you can make a lot of money by raising kelp?”
