Chapter 79 Zhaodi Can't Find a Disciple

Zhang Jianguo from Daba Village lost three wives and had nine daughters before he got his precious baby, Zhang Yaozu.

The original owner was Zhang Jianguo's eldest daughter, whose name was Zhang Zhaodi. She had eight younger sisters, including Niandi, Xiangdi, Yindi, Wangdi, Sidi, Yingdi, Jiedi, and Huandi.

Zhang Jianguo had two younger brothers, named Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianmin, who also had a string of daughters. The original owner's second and third cousins ​​were named Pan Di and Laidi, and she didn't remember the names of her other sisters.

When I was young, my younger sisters were either doing the laundry or cooking, and they took care of almost all the housework.

Their younger brothers, Zhang Yaozu, Zhang Yaozong and Zhang Yaowu, were the youngest children in the family and shouldered the important responsibility of carrying on the family line, so they ate the best, used the best things, did not have to work, and could go to school when they were old enough.

As for the dozen or so girls in the family, none of them had ever been to school and couldn’t even write their own names.

When she got older, her parents married her off in exchange for dowry for her younger brothers.

None of the sisters in the family married well. They were either married to a violent man who was married four times and old enough to be their own father, or they were disabled deadbeats who couldn't find a wife.

None of them had a good life after marriage. They were either beaten to death by domestic violence, or died during childbirth. Or they had to work as a nanny in their husband's family, doing hard housework and sucking the blood of their husband's family to support their younger brother from their mother's family.

Every girl has been educated by the Zhang family to be a brother-obsessed womanizer. Her younger brothers live a comfortable life, while they themselves live in poverty. When they are subjected to domestic violence, they return home for help, but are driven out by their relatives.

Only then did they realize that their younger brother was unreliable.

But it was too late.

"Big brother's wife, are you about to give birth?"

Old Lady Zhang dropped the hoe in her hand, dragged her eldest son's wife, Wang Guihua, and rushed home. She suddenly thought of something and shouted towards the field, "Eldest son, your wife is about to give birth, hurry home!"

At first, Wang Guihua only felt her stomach dropping and accompanied by abdominal pain. She thought she was too tired from working, so she pounded her waist. It was not until Old Lady Zhang saw that her pants were wet that she realized that she was about to give birth.

Zhang Jianguo handed the hoe to his brother and ran home. He wanted to rush into the room, but was chased out by Old Lady Zhang. "What are you looking at? Go boil some water!"

My water has broken, why are you coming in to cause trouble?

An hour later, Wang Guihua was born and Old Lady Zhang came out of the house with a gloomy face.

"Mom, do I have a son?"

"You gave birth to a money-losing baby. Go back to work now. If you had known you were going to give birth to a money-losing baby, you wouldn't have wasted your time coming back. You should have just left it there."

Zhang Jianguo turned around in disappointment and followed Old Lady Zhang to the field.

Zhang Jianjun came over and asked, "Brother, did you give birth to a nephew or a niece?"

"Captain, please come and work quickly. We'll talk later."

Zhang Jianjun rolled his eyes, but he already knew in his heart that his sister-in-law had given birth to a girl, otherwise, his brother would not have had a gloomy face all the time and come back to work.

To be honest, Zhang Jianjun also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have a son yet, and since his elder brother didn't have a son, he didn't feel that much pressure.

I felt happy and my hands moved more quickly. I hummed a little tune and worked more vigorously.

"Second brother, has my sister-in-law given birth?"

"It's probably a niece. Big brother is unhappy about it. Don't mess with him."

Zhang Jianmin suppressed the smile on his lips. The second daughter-in-law Ye Huaihua and the third daughter-in-law Zhang Cuihua smiled at each other, their eyes full of gloating.

Both of them are pregnant, but their pregnancy is younger than that of the eldest sister-in-law. As long as the eldest sister-in-law doesn't give birth to a son, the eldest grandson of the Zhang family may come out of their bellies. How can they not be happy?

In the family, only Old Mrs. Zhang, Old Man Zhang and Zhang Jianguo were unhappy. The others were full of energy and felt that life was full of hope.

Wang Guihua endured the discomfort of giving birth, got out of bed, tidied herself up, and took a look at her baby.

This child was not a son. Although she was disappointed, it was her child after all, and her first child, so Wang Guihua still had some maternal love.

Knowing that her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her, Wang Guihua did not act pretentiously. Since she could not go to the fields, she went to the kitchen and started cooking for the family.

Old Mrs. Zhang has already taken out the food, so she just needs to put it in the pot and cook it.

After the meal was cooked, the Zhang family members came together. Wang Guihua gave birth to a daughter. She felt inferior to others in front of them and did not dare to speak loudly.

"Sister-in-law, please bring our nephew out quickly so we can have a look."

"Second daughter-in-law, if you don't want to eat, go do the laundry." Then he glanced at Wang Guihua. The more he looked at her, the more he disliked this daughter-in-law.

Not all the children that Old Mrs. Zhang gave birth to were sons, there were also daughters. However, the living conditions were too poor at that time, and she couldn't support so many children, so the daughters all starved to death.

The only ones left were sons, and the three sons were rearranged, and everyone forgot that Old Mrs. Zhang had a daughter.

"After dinner, come with me to the room and get an egg. Take good care of yourself and give birth to a big fat boy for the Zhang family as soon as possible."

Wang Guihua was flattered and agreed immediately.

Old Mrs. Zhang’s idea is very simple. Since her granddaughter has been born, she wants her daughter-in-law to take good care of her health and give birth to a grandson as soon as possible.

Nowadays, every household has no spare money. If this daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a child, their family will not have the money to find a new wife for the eldest son.

Ye Huaihua and Zhang Cuihua put away the disdain in their eyes and turned it into jealousy. Why could their sister-in-law give birth to a money-losing child and still have eggs to eat, while she was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Zhang family.

"Mom, I'm still two months away from giving birth, and your eldest grandson wants to eat eggs, too."

"If you give birth to a son in two months, I will kill the hen and let you take care of the baby after the confinement." Old Mrs. Zhang naturally understood the little calculations in the minds of her two daughters-in-law. Before seeing her grandson, no one could cheat her of what she had in her hand.

Seeing that Ye Huaihua was humiliated in front of her mother-in-law, Zhang Cuihua did not ask for eggs.

After Wang Guihua finished her meal, she asked Old Lady Zhang for an egg and ate it with great care. Then she returned to the room and saw the baby lying on the bed, which made her feel a little more favorable towards him.

Or maybe this child is blessed because she was given the privilege of eating eggs since she was born, but why is she not a son?

Think about what the mother-in-law said just now. If she gave birth to a son, the mother-in-law would kill a chicken for her to recuperate during the confinement period. Then, among the sisters-in-law, she would always be the one with the most say.

Although I was disappointed, I still had to feed the child.

When Zhang Shan came here, she was a feeding baby. After only two meals of milk, she was forced to stop drinking milk because Zhang Jianguo still wanted to have a son.

If there wasn't baby formula in the space, she would probably have starved to death.

But she is a very narrow-minded person. In order to have a son, Zhang Jianguo didn't want her to have a son. Thinking of the string of girls in the original owner's previous life and the hopeless Zhang Yaozu, Zhang Shan felt that it was good to have an only daughter.

So, after Zhang Jianguo fell asleep, Zhang Shan asked the system to give Zhang Jianguo sterilization drugs.

Then, she drank the milk powder with peace of mind.

"Zhaodi doesn't want to drink rice soup, mother, how about making some rice porridge for her?"

"How can it be so precious? She can eat by herself when she is hungry." Old Mrs. Zhang didn't care. After all, this was how she raised her children.

When Zhang Shan was one month old, Ye Huaihua gave birth prematurely. Most pregnant women in the village gave birth prematurely. The reason was very simple: they were too tired.

Ye Huaihua was not as lucky as Wang Guihua. She struggled for five hours before giving birth to a thin baby girl. Old Mrs. Zhang was very unhappy. She couldn't be happy after giving birth to two granddaughters in a row.

The pressure came to Zhang Cuihua, and now she dared not gloat over her misfortune. Old Madam Zhang stared at Zhang Cuihua's belly every day, and she felt under great pressure and avoided Old Madam Zhang every day.

"Mom, Pan Di is a girl. I don't want to breastfeed her. Just let her drink rice soup with Zhao Di."

Ye Huaihua knew that her elder brother and sister-in-law were trying hard to have a second child, and she couldn't fall behind.

Zhang Shan knew that Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan had given birth to seven girls before they had a son, and she didn't want them to have a son. After all, in a family that favors boys over girls, her family had no male heir, and she would have to support her second and third uncles' families in the future.

This was even more unacceptable to her than supporting her own brother.

So, Zhang Shan asked the system to put sterilization drugs in the food bowls of her second and third uncles, so that the three men in the Zhang family would never be able to have children again. Zhang Shan did not feel guilty about this.

If she was worried about not having a male heir to carry on the family line, the worst that could happen was that she would find a live-in son-in-law and have a child with the surname Zhang.

Zhang Pandi is really miserable. Zhang Shan can still cook special meals for her, but Zhang Pandi can only drink clear rice soup. She was originally a premature baby and now looks yellow and thin. Fortunately, she is still alive and well.

"Sister-in-law, are you secretly feeding Zhaodi milk? How come Zhaodi grows so white and plump even though she drinks the same rice porridge?" Although Ye Huaihua was very cruel to stop her daughter from breastfeeding, Zhang Pandi did look unlovable compared to Zhang Shan.

"No, I stopped a long time ago. It may be because I breastfed her for a few days, but Pan Di didn't get a single sip of breast milk."

Wang Guihua and Ye Huaihua were also competing secretly. They lived next door to each other and the sound insulation was poor, so they could hear what their neighbors did. The sounds rose and fell at night, as if they were competing for supremacy.

Ye Huaihua knew that she was in the wrong, so she did not discuss the matter with Wang Guihua anymore. When Zhang Pandi was 100 days old, Zhang Cuihua was born.

"How about it?"

"Still just a little girl!"

Old Mrs. Zhang was very disappointed. After giving birth to three granddaughters, she didn't even have the idea of ​​giving Zhang Cuihua eggs to nourish her body.

Now, the three sisters-in-law all gave birth to daughters, and no one dared to laugh at anyone else.

"My dear, you've been weaned for so long, why is there still no movement in your stomach?"

"Mom, it's probably coming soon."

Old Lady Zhang looked at Ye Huaihua again, "What about the second son's family?"

"Mom, we will try our best."

Old Mrs. Zhang didn't say whether she was satisfied or not. She turned around and went to work in the fields. She thought that with this free time, she might as well earn more work points.

Wang Guihua and Ye Huaihua followed behind Old Lady Zhang. When they met someone on the road, they asked whether Zhang Cuihua's baby was a boy or a girl. Neither of them dared to answer, and Old Lady Zhang had a gloomy face all the way to the field.

Old man Zhang asked, "Is it born?"

"Ah."

With such a cold attitude, Old Man Zhang also understood that this child was not their precious grandson.

The Zhang family worked hard and no one was surprised. After all, who hasn't given birth to a baby girl?

Zhang Cuihua was a little sad, but she also felt a sense of calm as if everything had settled. Her eldest and second sisters-in-law both gave birth to daughters, so she had a daughter, so there was no difference between her and them.

She got up, tidied herself, and went to the kitchen to cook. Later, she checked to see if she still had milk. She didn't want her daughter to lose to the daughters of her eldest and second sisters-in-law, so she didn't plan to wean her daughter from the beginning.

Zhang Shan is already four months old. She lies in the cradle, sleeps after eating, and eats again after waking up. However, her poop smells a bit and makes her uncomfortable.

Wang Guihua liked Zhang Shan even more because she was prettier than Ye Huaihua's daughter, which made her feel that she had suppressed her younger sister Ye Huaihua.

So, I have no complaints about washing Zhang Shan’s diapers every day.

But she also had something unhappy, which was that she had never gotten pregnant.

Three years later.

Wang Guihua, Ye Huaihua and Zhang Cuihua were all unable to conceive again. Old Mrs. Zhang was very unhappy about this. Her mood was written on her face every day and she would curse at people at every turn.
