Chapter 2 Abandoned Baby
"I picked it up." Bai Muban said.

It's almost as good as old lady Bai's guess.

As soon as she rolled her eyes, she realized that the child was not yet full moon, and that Mrs. Zhen didn't look like a person in confinement. Besides, Mrs. Zhen could grow old at this age unless the smoke from the Bai family's ancestral grave was as thick as a thigh.

The old lady Bai carefully looked at the baby's quilt, which was embroidered with a lifelike picture of a hundred pomegranates. The more she looked at the embroidery, the more familiar it was.

Yes, it is very similar to Zhen's embroidery.

Although the old lady Bai is a village woman, she has a lot of knowledge.

From the baby's quilt, she could deduce that this was not a child from an ordinary family.Whose children can use such high-quality, slippery silk? Since it is a big family, how could it throw away children for no reason?It's not that I can't afford it.

Even if the backyard of a big family is turmoil, they seldom attack a little girl.What's the cost of raising a girl, and when she grows up, she can get married to bring help to her mother's family.

unless--

"Will this child bring any disaster to the family?" The old lady Bai turned her head and asked Bai Muban in one sentence.

"What disaster will that bring?" Bai Muban was stopped by his mother, feeling a little uncertain.

"I didn't ask you, I asked your wife." The old lady Bai gouged out the white board.

"You tell me the truth, you know how powerful it is. The old Bai family has been dragged down once, and you don't want to take any more risks. You have five sons." The old lady Bai stared at Zhen's sharply, she thought The possible reasons for the abandonment of daughters by rich families, a reason that makes her terrified when she thinks about it.

"Mother, it's not what you think." Zhen Shi stabilized her emotions. She knew what her mother-in-law was afraid of, and she was equally afraid of her mother-in-law.

"This child is not a child of an official's family, and no one in the family has committed beheading." Zhen said clearly.

The female doll was indeed picked up by Bai Muban and Mrs. Zhen in the snow.

This matter has to start from the beginning.

When Bai Muban was young, he delivered fresh vegetables to the rich merchant Shen's family in Huaicheng and met a housekeeper.

A year ago, the family's livelihood was really difficult, so Bai Muban took Zhen's family to Huaicheng to work.Through the relationship of the housekeeper, he entered Shen's residence as a helper, he took care of the flowers and plants in the yard, and Zhen's good embroidery work went to the needlework department.

The eldest lady of the Shen family appreciated Zhen Shi's craftsmanship very much, since Zhen Shi entered the needlework department, all the handkerchiefs in the eldest lady's room were handed over to Zhen Shi to embroider.

The eldest lady is gentle and kind-hearted, and she treats the servants generously and generously.Every time Mrs. Zhen took over the work in the eldest lady's house, the eldest lady would reward her generously, and not only that, she also allocated an empty house for Mrs. Zhen and his wife to live in.

Zhen was very grateful for the kindness of the eldest lady, so she embroidered a quilt with a picture of a hundred pomegranates and gave it to the eldest lady.

Shen Junshan's wives and concubines have no children, and the eldest wife prays to Buddha every day to pray for a child.Two months after Mrs. Zhen gave her the picture of a hundred pomegranates, she was diagnosed with pregnancy.Xi's eldest wife told Zhen Shi that after the child was born, she married her as a family and left as a family. Zhen Shi declined because she was a peasant woman and did not dare to cling to her.

The eldest lady failed to keep the previous few births, so this pregnancy has been kept a secret, and she plans to announce it after birth, and leave all the trivial matters in the family to Mrs. Ru to handle.

When she was five months pregnant, Shen Junshan went to Sichuan to gather silk, but the boat capsized in a heavy rain on the Jialing River, but no bones were found.

When the news of Shen Junshan's death came, the patriarch of the Shen clan came to the door with the children of the clan, and wanted to divide up the Wanguan family property on the grounds that Shen Junshan had no heirs.

The Shen family members quarreled around the Shen residence for a few days, and the eldest lady was helped out by Mrs. Ru to confirm that Shen Junshan had an heir.But the tribe refused, saying that if the child in his womb was a girl, he would not be eligible to inherit Shen Junshan's family property.

In the end, the government intervened and negotiated a charter.If the child is a boy, the tribe will disperse; if the child is a daughter, more than half of the property will be distributed to the tribe.

Bai Muban and Mrs. Zhen didn't want to be involved in these messy matters of the Shen family, so they quit their jobs last autumn.

The couple did not sign a contract with the Shen Mansion, they were free agents. After moving out of the Shen Mansion, they rented a house outside and continued to do odd jobs. Mrs. Zhen embroidered for the embroidery workshop, and white boards were used to resist sandbags at the pier.

After the winter, the couple saved some money and planned to quit their jobs and return home.

On a snowy night not long before returning home, the couple was awakened by the movement outside the door, thinking they had been thieves.Bai Muban boldly opened the door, and suddenly found a big red quilt lying on the snow, which was a baby by the light of the snow.

He was afraid that the baby would freeze to death, so he hurried back to the house.

At a glance, Mrs. Zhen discovered that the picture of a hundred pomegranates on the quilt was written by herself.

The next day, rumors spread throughout the city that Shen Junshan's first wife, Mrs. Shen, died of a hemorrhage after giving birth to her son.

……

"It's a crime, that clansman is so forceful. I don't think Mrs. Ru is a good thing. Maybe the son has already bought it outside in advance. It's hard to say why the child died." After listening to the old lady, Zhen Shi's narration, he gave a bah, and quickly figured out the key points inside.

"Mother, this child has lost his mother." Mrs. Zhen patted the quilt lightly, with a dejected expression on her face, "I have a predestined relationship with this child."

"Let's raise it if you have a destiny. The whole family knows that you gave birth to a daughter, and most of the villagers also know about it. Is it possible to throw her into the snow again? Your mother-in-law and I are not so vicious. Besides, When the two of you were working in the Shen Mansion, your mother treated you well, we can't be that white-eyed wolf, we should repay him by taking good care of his daughter."

"I know mother, I will raise her as my own daughter." Zhen's tears filled her eyes.

"Mother, that child will be my Bai Muban's daughter from now on, hehe, you can see that she looks like me." Bai Muban was very happy when he saw that his old mother agreed to raise him.

The corners of the old lady Bai's mouth twitched. She was too embarrassed to expose her son. With his appearance as a farmer, how could he give birth to such a girl who looked like a doll in the New Year painting?

It's about the same as Zhen's, Zhen's whole body is white, and this baby is also white.

"However, you two were bitten to death by me. This child belongs to our old Bai's family. No matter who asks, you can't let go." The old lady Bai ordered.

Bai Muban and Zhen Shi looked at each other, they had discussed this way a long time ago.

Suddenly, the baby in the quilt moved.

Zhen Shi picked up the baby, and the baby twisted, and it pressed tighter into Zhen Shi's arms.The fluffy little head, the pink and tender little round face, the little white hand in the mouth... Zhen Shi looked at the child in her arms, her heart felt so soft that it was about to melt away, and she hugged her even tighter.

The old lady Bai was watching, and a chrysanthemum spun out of her face unconsciously.

This little girl is really handsome, she is a blessed look.

"The child is so young, how can he support him?" The old lady Bai frowned. The rice noodles at home have not been eaten for the last meal, and the child can only eat rice noodle soup?
"There is also a bottle of goat's milk bought in Huaicheng in the package," said Zhen.

"That's not enough." The old lady Bai was worried.

"Well, mother, there is something I forgot to tell you. The money earned by the big strong mother and I have been spent. The child was frozen to death in the snow, and spent more than half of the money to hire a doctor; these days, I bought goat milk for her. It cost a lot of money, and it cost three times more to hire a car this time because of the heavy snow..." Bai Muban carefully gave his mother a sum of money.

I went out to do odd jobs for a year, and my mother took care of the house at home. I felt guilty for not bringing some money home for my mother.

"It's alright, you have such a handsome girl in vain, you can spend the money as soon as you spend it." The old lady Bai stood up.

"I went to the village to see who I could ask for sheep with only cubs, and everyone was worried. I had to give up my old face myself. You two haven't eaten yet, so you go to the kitchen by yourself Bring rice to your daughter-in-law, the rice soup cooked by Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law in the morning is still in the pot."

The old lady Bai complained, and walked out like a hot wheel.

From then on, she also has a granddaughter. After looking forward and looking forward, she finally has a baby girl at home. Although she is not relative, it is said that nurturing kindness is greater than giving birth to kindness. granddaughter.

Only the husband and wife were left in the house, and they were not hungry at all.

The fire in the stove burned hotter and hotter, and the room became warmer.

The little baby in the quilt sleeps beautifully with eyes closed.Falling asleep and falling asleep, the corners of the mouth curled up, and a sweet smile swirled out.

"Oh, daughter-in-law, my daughter laughed." Bai Mu's heart was about to melt, and he shouted one after another.

From the first time he saw the child that day, he took on the role of the old father.

Can't get enough of it every day.

Don't tell me, the little girl is prettier than those brats, and even the air around the girl is fragrant.

"My daughter must have had a beautiful dream, look at her beautiful."

Zhen's eyeballs were stuck to the child's body, and his heart was so tender that water would come out.

The couple stared at the little girl together, the more they watched, the happier they felt.

What to eat, take a look at the little girl, it is more full than eating a bowl of rice.
