Chapter 195 Skills and Rituals

Director Li couldn't break free of the chains that bound him, and He Yuzhu was even less confident.

Therefore, in this life, no matter who He Yuzhu marries, he has to seize the opportunity when the time comes.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu has now scolded Jia Dongxu's father.

This is a common practice. No matter which woman gives birth, as long as it is a natural birth, the man's family, more specifically his father and mother, will always be in trouble.

The Jia family is different from the Ma family. On the day Hua Ni from the Ma family gave birth to her child, she naturally cursed the ancestors of the Ma family.

But Ma San's mother was present at the time, but no one from the previous generation of the Jia family was present now.

So the words Qin Huairu cursed at made the gentlemen who were helping outside couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly the scene became very joyful.

The words Qin Huairu cursed at were so funny.

Qin Huairu couldn't hold back on this kind of thing even if she wanted to. She had too many grievances and nowhere to tell them.

Like other families in the compound, no matter how far or near the mother's family is, they will come to urge the birth in the next few days, right?

But the Qin family didn't. Qin Huairu's parents did want to come, but Qin Huairu's two sisters-in-law started making a fuss.

In other words, as long as the Qin Laonian couple dare to come, the two daughters-in-law will take the children back to their parents' home.

This incident was a follow-up reaction to Qin Huairu's return home for the New Year.

The last time Qin Huairu went home, in addition to the shabby New Year gifts prepared by Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu also pretended to be stupid and did not give a single red envelope to the children of her two brothers.

This has been said before. It’s not that I don’t want to give it, but Qin Huairu really has no money.

The key to the matter is not here. If the Jia family really encountered difficulties, the Qin family would not be completely heartless.

The key to the matter lies with Jia Dongxu. After Jia Dongxu drank too much, his manly characteristics came out and he boasted to an extreme.

Jia Dongxu said that he had saved nearly two million last year, or 1.8 million yuan. Jia Dongxu assured Qin's father and mother that the Jia family would get better and better.

It would be bad news if this news reached the ears of Qin Huairu's two sisters-in-law.

If you don't have it and can't give it, that's normal and relatives will understand.

But if you have it but don't give it, and the gifts you bring as New Year greetings are so shabby, then you can only say that you look down on others.

It was for this reason that both daughters-in-law of the Qin family felt insulted.

So this time when Qin Huairu's mother wanted to come over to induce labor, she was stopped by her two sisters-in-law.

Qin Huairu usually kept these things to herself and never said a word to anyone in the courtyard.

But today, Qin Huairu let herself go.

All the grievances she had suffered since marrying into a courtyard house were vented out through this birth.

Qin Huairu's voice was hoarse, but she still cursed: "Jia Dongxu, you beast, when you messed with me... When you married me, you said your family... In the end, I didn't even dare to eat a piece of meat..."

The old lady in the midwife's room next door was holding an umbrella (Note ①) and walking back and forth in the room muttering various words. All the drawers and boxes in the Jia family were opened a crack. This was a ritual specially performed by the midwife.

The midwife would say to Qin Huairu every once in a while, "Daughter-in-law of the Jia family, stop yelling for now, take a break, and wait for us to work together later. ..."

Qin Huairu felt so much pain that she couldn't help but curse.

After all, it was Old Lady Fang who was performing her part, while Qin Huairu was scolding herself.

If the midwife who was hired last time when Ma San's wife gave birth had real skills, then this time, this old lady Fang was using all kinds of crooked tricks.

When Hua Ni gave birth, the fetus was obviously in an abnormal position. But with the "treatment" of the midwife, she gave birth healthily in the end.

That's a skill.

But Old Lady Fang has these things, such as holding an umbrella in the house, so that children dare to come out to the world of the living.

And just now, Yi Zhonghai went to the intersection to curse, and cursed so much that all the gods dared not come to the courtyard. This is also a skill, but the key is that in today's society, there are more people who believe in these things.

Like now, Old Mrs. Fang is holding a piece of candy and shouting towards the place where the child was born:... Little guy, come out and eat candy!

Qin Huairu only felt a warm current flowing out, and when she pushed harder, she felt the baby in her belly move...

After Qin Huairu's several efforts, a "wow wow wow..." sound announced that a little life had come into this world.

Qin Huairu looked at Old Lady Fang with gratitude, then looked at the baby in the cradle dazedly, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

Obviously, Old Lady Fang did nothing, but Qin Huairu felt that it was because of her ability that she was able to give birth smoothly.

This is why there are so many scammers in this world.

Jia Dongxu was not like Ma San, who rushed in in a hurry. Since Ma San made a fool of himself last time, Jia Dongxu really learned a lot about these old rules.

When the midwife called for someone to come in and hold the baby, Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Master, please come in and hold the baby! Let the child share your blessing."

The few old guys nearby also looked at Yi Zhonghai jokingly.

Although Yi Zhonghai was well prepared, when the time came, he still wiped his hands on his body and was quite nervous.

Finally, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Not only Yan Bugui and his people found it funny, but even the deaf old lady who came to watch the fun found it weird.

how to say?

Jia Dongxu had no choice. If he didn't let Yi Zhonghai hold the child, he would not be able to justify himself.

But Yi Zhonghai himself should avoid suspicion in this matter.

Although it just means that the child's temper will be like the first person he sees.

But there is also some influence from other aspects.

For example, career and the blessing of having many children and grandchildren.

But Yi Zhonghai is a complete jerk when it comes to children.

This made the Jia family follow him, which was also a headache.

Has Jia Dongxu thought about this?

I should have thought of it.

So when the midwife asked someone to go to the crossroads to curse all the gods, Jia Dongxu asked Yi Zhonghai to take action.

He originally thought that Yi Zhonghai would not come back until the child was born.

However, he didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai just said a few words at the gate of the courtyard and ran back.

This left Jia Dongxu with no choice.

It is obvious that Yi Zhonghai wants to be the first person to hold the baby.

So even though it was unlucky, Jia Dongxu could only rub his stomach and let Yi Zhonghai go in.

Even when Jia Dongxu saw his son for the first time, he opened the swaddling clothes to see if his son's baby was still there.

Only when he saw that the thing was intact did Jia Dongxu breathe a sigh of relief.

Giving red envelopes and sending matchmakers were self-evident. When Jia Dongxu came out to hand out cigarettes, everyone outside asked Jia Dongxu what name he would give the child.

Jia Dongxu looked up at Yi Zhonghai, and seeing Yi Zhonghai's expectant face, Jia Dongxu turned his head away, pretending not to see it and said to everyone: "My mother said that a humble name is easier to raise, so she nicknamed the child Banggeng, and I hope he will be healthy..."

Yi Zhonghai was very disappointed.

　Note ①, those things are all kinds of feudal superstitions!
