Chapter 13
"Mom——" Lian Qiuzhi's three daughters all came forward, and the four of them cried together.

Mrs. Miao also wiped away tears and sighed: "Second brother, what you did is not honest...but...the old Xu family must leave a root..."

Xu Zhenying raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

Modern people still prefer boys over girls, let alone a farming society where young men are the main labor force?
Only changes in the social labor structure and a change in thinking can truly transform the status of men and women.

Otherwise, equality between men and women is just an empty talk of idealists.

Grandmother Huang kept wiping her tears, and then she knelt down in front of Lian with a "pop" sound, "It's our Xu family that feels sorry for you. I know that you have been treating your second child wholeheartedly since you got married. Over the years, Old lady, I see it too. You have to know what life is like in exile. Whether our whole family can make it alive is a problem. Old lady also knows that I am embarrassing you. Can you just beg me as an old lady and give it to Xu? After leaving a family, our Xu family cannot cut off the incense!! Otherwise, how can you ask me to face your underground father-in-law! Don’t worry, as long as my old lady lives for one day, she will definitely take good care of the three girls—— "

Lian's eyes were red, as if she had been emptied of breath for a moment. At this moment, she was so angry that she said: "Mom...even you are forcing me. You are also a parent, how can you force me to give up my daughter to raise someone else?" A woman’s child?”

"But...but they also call you mother."

"But I never wanted them to call me mother! I have no relationship with them. I didn't give birth to them or raise them. Why should they force me to be their mother? Do you think they are really willing to call a strange woman? Be a mother?!”

Lian's face was filled with tears when she said the last words. She had been childless for many years and could not hold her head up in her parents' and husband's families. She was so depressed at the moment that it was as if she was tangled up in thin threads and could not breathe. Her voice was hoarse and she kept roaring: "Why, why should I raise someone else's son and watch my own daughter die? My Fu Wei is only ten years old. She wouldn't be able to survive in Qianzhou without me -"

Xu Yinxi cried so hard that she almost choked. Her heart was twisted, and she hugged Lian Qiuzhi and cried: "Mom, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If only I were a son!! Why am I not a son?!" "

Xu Lezhi also cried: "Mom, I hate dad, he wants us to die... Why didn't he just give us a knife... Why did he trample on our mother and daughter like this... Could it be that only the son was born to him, and we three sisters Isn’t this his biological child?!”

Grandma also kept wiping away tears, and the whole family burst into tears.

Xu Zhenying also couldn't bear it. Although the second aunt sometimes did things without taking their third wife seriously, after all, she had so many years of memories of being together day and night in her mind, and she couldn't bear to ask a mother to be separated from her flesh and blood.

"Second Aunt, if you are unwilling to take your bastard away and are not afraid of hardship, then you are not the only one who can go with Li. Anyway, the final decision whether to leave or stay rests with you."

Aunt Mei over there had a look of resentment on her face, staring at Xu Zhenying, as if Xu Zhenying had ruined her great good, "Sixth Miss said it so lightly, is it possible that we all have to die together? As long as Madam can live, Huirong will If we can survive, our Xu family can at least have a root left behind——"

"Stop it." Xu Zhenying frowned, a little impatient, "First of all, the second uncle means to let the second aunt choose a bastard to take away. It may not be Huirong's turn. Have you forgotten that the second uncle also has a son? You are right now Aren't you afraid of being so aggressive and counterproductive?" After Xu Zhenying finished speaking, the second aunt glared at Aunt Mei viciously, and Aunt Mei became cold, as if she felt guilty, and she almost didn't dare to look at Lian.

"Secondly, your loving motherly heart is indeed valuable, but since you are willing to plan for your children in this way, why can't you compare your feelings with others and instead force your second aunt to abandon your daughter and take away a bastard who is not related to her by blood? Moral shackles We are both cannibals. We are both women, and we obviously can’t help ourselves, but you still use feudal ethics to oppress another woman. Don’t you think it’s despicable?”

"I am despicable - I know I deserve to die -" Aunt Mei covered her face and cried bitterly, her shoulders shaking, "But there is nothing I can do, I just want Huirong to live well..."

Xu Zhenying interrupted her crying, "Finally, you don't know the situation of the second aunt after she returns to the Lian family. She is an unloved concubine. After returning, she will have to make a living under her aunt's mother. She and Li also brought a non-biological child with her. My son, have you ever thought about what kind of life she will have when she goes back? Even if she can’t protect herself in the Lian family, what kind of life do you think Xiaojiu will have to live? "

Aunt Mei was stunned. With her head, she had never thought about such a long-term matter.

Everyone felt that even if they went to work as slaves in the Lian family, it would be better than dying on the road to exile.

Lian Qiuzhi burst into tears after hearing the last part.She looked at Xu Zhenying with hazy tearful eyes, her lips trembled and she was speechless.

Miao also said: "Second sister-in-law, don't be too sad. If it doesn't work, just come with us. Exile is a bit hard, but at least the whole family is together. The three girls are still young, and they all say that the eldest sister is... Mother, if you leave, Yinxi will suffer. Don't listen to your second brother... To put it bluntly... he is not a caring person. Although glory and wealth are rare, nothing can compare to being a family together. "

She never thought that in the end, it would be the third roommate she had always looked down upon who was willing to speak for her.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she was moved or ashamed, but after all, she was used to being the mistress of the Xu family, and she refused to say a soft word easily.

The fourth aunt also had red eyes. She stroked the second aunt's back and comforted her: "Don't faint and the whole family is still pointing at you. If you really don't want to go back, just stay and you can make up your own mind." . What’s wrong with not having a son? Do we who have no sons deserve to be bullied like this? The girls we give birth to are more successful than the other, and they may be more filial than our sons in the future. Look at your family Lezhi, that mouth is so fierce, who If you dare to mess with her, if anyone dares to force you to accept someone else's son next time, you will be beaten out by her with a big stick!"

Xu Lezhi was finally ashamed this time. Her face turned red and she said, "Fourth Aunt, how can I be as powerful as you say?"

The fourth aunt said: "As women, it is better to be powerful than to be meek. As long as you can protect your own family, you can be powerful. You can talk about others and don't care what others do."

The grandmother sighed and saw that except for the two concubines with sons, no one else was on her side. She couldn't help but burst into tears and said angrily: "Okay, okay... you are all right... I am the only one who is a bad person... I Who is it for? Isn’t it because we are afraid that our Xu family will lose its incense? Okay, if you don’t listen to me, then you can think of it yourself. Anyway, if you go underground, you can go and plead guilty to your ancestors. "
