Chapter 157 Doubt life

Bai Dadan is really envious of other people's granddaughters. He just went to Bai Dong's tent to look at the newborn baby for a while.

Now she heard the five boys in the family chattering and calling for their grandma, howling at the top of their lungs, each one louder than the other, as if they were competing with each other, and she wanted to lie down in the coffin early.

Bai He shrank his neck and explained weakly: "Mom, this, this is really not my fault, I didn't expect it, maybe, maybe I am not destined to have a daughter?"

Besides, he is not the only one who cannot give birth to a daughter. His eldest brother and third brother also have sons.

After saying this, Bai He's face looked as if he had lost his parents. He glared at Old Man Zhang angrily and said, "It's all your fault. You're bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic."

My mother had been nagging me for the entire afternoon, and after I finally got over this matter, it was brought up again here.

Bai Dong lowered his head silently and tried to hold back his laughter. Fortunately, his wife was very capable and gave him a son and a daughter, otherwise he would be the one who was despised.

Bai Dafen comforted him, "Don't get too angry. My aunt said, don't force it if it's not destined for you. Although having more boys is a bit annoying, at least you won't be short of people when you need to work."

"Although the little girl is nice, well-behaved and cute, I am also worried. I have worked so hard to raise her, and I am afraid that she will be cheated by some bastard one day..."

Despite Bai Dafen's good words, Bai Dadan was not comforted at all. It's really easy to talk without any pain in the waist. A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man!
She glanced at the other person and said unhappily: "It's easy for you to say that, then give me your little granddaughter."

"It just so happens that they were both born today, so they can be considered twins." The more Bai Dadan talked about it, the more he thought it was a good idea, and his eyes lit up.

"We are from the same village, right under your nose, you don't have to worry that we will treat the child badly..."

"You wish!" Bai Dafen had been patting Bai Dadan's shoulder to comfort him, but when she heard this, she immediately pushed him away with disgust.

What a joke! I'm comforting you. How shameless of you to have your eyes on my granddaughter?

My family is having healthy twins, a boy and a girl. What a good sign! My aunt said the probability is between one in a thousand and five in a thousand.

That is to say, only one couple out of a thousand may have such luck.

There are only about 200 people in Taohua Village, and there are thousands of couples. That's a lot of people, and it's such a blessing.

"No, you think about it."

Bai Dadan kept coaxing and deceiving, "How about this? My family will give you five taels of silver every month. Is that ok? Just think of it as us being filial to you on behalf of our children."

"No!" Bai Dafen said firmly: "Don't even think about it!"

Bai Dong also hurriedly said: "Aunt Dan, please stop joking. This is my first daughter."

What if he has only one daughter?

He held his newborn daughter, who was still warm, in his arms for a few minutes before going out.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. My family will definitely treat me like a treasure..."

"No, no matter what you say, it's not like my family can't afford to support you." Forget five taels of silver a month, even fifty or five hundred taels a month would not be enough.

In the past, when life was hard, no one in the village gave their children away. Now that life is better, even those who live in the village don’t give their children away.

Bai Dafen seemed to be afraid that Bai Dadan would not give up, so she threatened: "Don't say anything more, if you say it again, I will tell my aunt!"

Old man Zhang was dumbfounded to see the two of them almost falling out. No, why did the people from the Baijiabao caravan treat the little girl as a treasure?

Every family wants to have more sons.

Five taels of silver every month in exchange for a maid?
When did girls' films become so valuable?
Watching the men arguing as they walked away, with the words still saying that it was his problem that he couldn't have a son, Old Man Zhang was angry but also a little uncertain. Are they kidding?!
He had never been to school, but the people in the Baijiabao caravan were both civil and military, and even the three or four-year-old children would shake their heads and carry something called "Ren Zhichu" on their backs every morning...

Such a large caravan is well-informed and has a good knowledge of the tribe, so what they say must make sense.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow, it is indeed his problem, but, but... since ancient times, bearing children has been a woman's job.

my question?

Is it because I didn’t give my wife a son?

No, no, it’s definitely not my problem.

For a moment, Old Man Zhang felt that the concepts he had held for many years had been severely challenged.

Although Old Man Zhang didn't want to admit it, he had already begun to waver in his heart.

The dispute here was also heard and seen by others.

When some people were waiting for the Baijiabao caravan to deliver eggs to their homes, they couldn't help but ask, "Sisters, I just heard you say that it's the men who decide whether to have a son or a daughter?"

The person asking the question was a woman, and her expression was excited, joyful, uncertain, and uneasy.

Someone in the family asked a question, and the people nearby pricked up their ears to listen.

Bai Dadan nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, since ancient times, you reap what you sow. Don't you understand this principle?"

Bai Dafen: "You plant beans, but you insist on growing melons in the field. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"This is a man's business. If he doesn't give you a son, you will never be able to give birth to one until you die." Bai Dadan paused, then added: "Unless you remarry."

Bai Dafen nodded heavily: "That's right, it depends on whether the man has a conscience."

"What if he deliberately refuses to give it to you and insists on putting the blame on you, and you don't know about this, then you'll be the one who suffers!"

Bai Dadan's tone became complicated at this time, and his expression also showed a bit of pity and indignation.

"It's not terrible for this person to be uneducated, but it's very sad that she doesn't even know such common sense and is kept in the dark by a man!"

The two of them talked back and forth, and their interpretation of this concept left the others stunned.

This?
Although the men disagreed, after all, they didn't intend to not give birth to children for their wives and sons, but what the people from the Baijiabao caravan said did make some sense.

The women looked confused, either tilting their heads in thought or looking down, not knowing what they were thinking about.

But their heartbeats inexplicably quickened and became faster and faster, and their cheeks seemed to be extremely hot due to excitement.

So, it’s the man’s problem?

Yes, doesn’t it depend on what seeds your husband gives you for your own land?

There was a woman who had been despised by her husband's and her own family because she could not give birth to a son. She felt extremely inferior and could not hold her head up for many years.

After hearing these words now, I can’t help but be stunned. So, it’s not that I can’t give birth?

Someone suddenly started to cry out in grievance: "Wow...it's not my problem. Yes, how could it be my problem?"

While crying, she recounted the grievances she had suffered over the years: "It's not that I can't have children. I married into your family and gave birth to two children in three years. It's not a son, and it's not my problem. It's because you didn't give me one!"
