Chapter 2443: Is It a Boy or a Girl?
The woman clutched the bed sheets so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
The woman screamed, and the child was finally born.
The child released a loud cry.
Ning Shu couldn’t help laughing. She took a cloth she had prepared in advance and wiped the amniotic fluid and blood from the child.
The woman looked pale. Ning Shu placed the child beside her and carried warm brown sugar water from the stove for the woman to drink.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” The woman asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu reached out and patted the child. “It’s a girl.”
The woman’s expression immediately changed. Soon after, tears rolled down her face.
Ning Shu: ???
“Why is it still a girl? What should I do?” The woman’s face paled further even after losing so much blood.
“You’ve given birth? Is it a boy?” The man outside shouted.
Ning Shu looked at the despairing woman and asked, “Do you want me to carry the child out to the father?”
The woman suddenly stretched out her hand and grasped Ning Shu’s wrist, imploring, “Please take my child with you. There’s some money in that box and some clothes in the cabinet.”
Ning Shu: …
“This is your child.” Ning Shu said in astonishment.
Outside, the husband couldn’t wait. He threw the curtains open and walked in. Ignoring the thick smell of blood, he held the child and asked, “Is it a boy or a girl?”
Ning Shu: This was the first thing he asked his wife?
The woman had already turned away. Ning Shu said, “Girl.”
The man’s expression changed instantly. He placed the child on the bed. “Why is it another girl? There are already three girls, and now there’s another?”
Ning Shu: …
The more the man talked, the more angry he became. He actually grabbed the child on the bed and wanted to throw her onto the ground.
The woman sat up in alarm.
Ning Shu hurriedly took the child and said, outraged, “This is your child! Your blood! Even the fiercest of tigers won’t eat their own children.”
The man’s expression didn’t change, “What do you know? I already have three daughters. Do you know what other people say about me? They say that my family line will be cut short. I don’t even have a son. If they learn I’ve had another daughter, I’ll be ridiculed to death.”
The woman covered her face and wept. The man said irritably, “Cry, that’s all you know how to do. You can’t even birth a son.”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu wanted to talk to this man about science. It was the man’s side that determined whether a baby would be a boy or a girl, not the woman’s side. However, she let it be after thinking for a bit.
Even in modern times, women were blamed for not giving birth to sons.
The man tossed the curtain aside and left.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. His wife had been in a precarious situation while giving birth and this was how he treated her?
What the heck. He should be a woman in the next life. Then he would understand their hardship.
She just came to take over a birthing and fricking came across a situation like this.
With reddened eyes and incredibly pale lips, the woman said to Ning Shu, “Please save my daughter.”
“As you can see, my husband will not treat her well. He already dislikes my other three daughters and he isn’t good to them either,” said the woman.
Ning Shu looked at the child in her arms whose eyes were still closed. She was just born and her eyes hadn’t even opened yet. She had no idea she would have to face this kind of situation where her father didn’t care about her and her mother didn’t want her.
“The money I’ve saved is in that small box and there are children’s clothes in the cabinet.” The woman was exhausted and she lay back down.
Ning Shu silently sighed. She just came to make money.
“Please, take her away. It’s fine if you find another family for her. My husband won’t raise her and my family can’t afford to support her either.”
Ning Shu nodded and the woman shed tears. She stretched out her arms to hold the child and kept crying.
