Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua opened the door to the main room and squinted to look outside. She couldn't see clearly at all, so she shouted at the top of her voice, "What's going on?"

"Sister-in-law, Rourou is bleeding. Can I borrow your bicycle?!" Li Jianxin's voice seemed to be crying.

When Zhang Xiuhua heard that the child was not well, she immediately took out the key to open the door, "Seeing blood? Will you bump her if you ride your bicycle? I think it would be safer to push her on a flatbed cart."

Li Jianxin shook his head, "No. Rourou didn't ride a bicycle, so my mother went to the team to borrow a flatbed cart. I rode my bicycle to find the midwife to see if she could deliver the baby at home."

"You are out of your mind. Your wife is only eight months old. Which midwife can deliver your baby?" Zhang Xiuhua scolded her. "Take her to the hospital right away."

Li Jianxin was scolded but didn't dare to talk back, "The hospital is too far away. There are no buses now. I want to ask the midwife to take a look first, and then push her to the town to take the bus when it's daybreak."

Zhang Xiuhua slapped her forehead. Look at her memory. This is not thirty years later, when there are taxis outside the community. Now the bus is off duty at a certain time. Other cars? There is no way.

She pushed the bicycle from the main room to the front door, and then opened the door with the key, "Is your wife okay?"

"He's crying out in pain. I'm leaving first." Li Jianxin rode his bicycle hurriedly with a flashlight.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, stood there in silence for a while, and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua learned from Aunt Wang that An Rou was sent to the hospital early in the morning. Miao Xiaohua and Li Jianxin sent her to the town together, and they haven't come back yet.

In the afternoon, Miao Xiaohua came back. The villagers did not rush back after work, but stopped her and asked, "Did your daughter-in-law give birth?"

Miao Xiaohua said happily, "It's born! Two boys were born by caesarean section!"

Two boys at once, no wonder Miao Xiaohua is so happy.

Zhang Xiuhua asked, "How is An Rou?"

"She? She's fine!" After announcing the good news, Miao Xiaohua happily went home to prepare milk-producing food, saying that she would send it to her daughter-in-law.

For several days, the villagers were discussing the good news that Li Jianxin had given birth to twins.

But Li Jianxin, who was envied by everyone, was not so happy. He came back from the county town that morning with bruises on his face and swollen eyes. He cried whenever he saw people, and cried loudly, which scared the villagers. They thought something had happened to An Rou. You know, giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for women, and there are many cases of heavy bleeding after giving birth.

Li Jianxin just sobbed and didn't say anything until the villagers became desperate and threatened him to get out if he didn't say anything.

He finally spoke hesitantly, "My wife refused to give the child away. She said she had carried the child for ten months and gave birth to him. She had suffered so much, she was reluctant to give the child to my eldest brother."

He cursed, "How could she do this! How could she go back on her word after clearly agreeing on something! I really misjudged her. I didn't expect she was such a person! Wuuuuuu... I have such a miserable life!"

Some people think that Li Jianxin is a fool. "You are willing to give away your own child?!"

Some people think it is better to send the child away. "His father-in-law is in Shanghai, and the child will be able to get a good job in the future. Jianxin sent the child away for his own good. That's right!"

At that time, Shanghai was the fashion benchmark, especially since they had a city hukou, which meant they could eat food rations and have a stable job, which was much better than farming in the countryside.

Two groups of people were fighting, one group was on the side of family affection, the other group was on the side of interests, each had their own reasons. Li Jianxin was caught in the middle, one person pulled him once, and then the other pulled him back, and his clothes were almost torn.

Finally, his veins popped out and he shouted, "Shut up!"

Then he broke away from the crowd and said to Zhang Xiuhua, who had been watching the show from the outside, "Sister-in-law, do you have tofu at home? I'll buy some tofu and cook it for you!"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, and the two went back to her home together.

Li Jianxin screamed in pain, "Sister-in-law, can you help me persuade my wife? She is determined now and won't listen to anyone. Even my mother is on her side. I can't live like this anymore."

Zhang Xiuhua and An Rou had the same idea, and they were reluctant to give their child away. Besides, An Rou was in confinement now, and it was not good to be angry all the time, so she persuaded Li Jianxin, "Don't blame An Rou for not wanting to give up the child. She risked her life to give birth to the child, so you can easily give the child away, but she can't. You two have to understand each other."

Li Jianxin panicked when she saw Zhang Xiuhua also on her side. "But I can't support two children. I will be exhausted and miserable in the future. We agreed at the time that she would give birth to the children and I would raise them. In the future, I will have to wash clothes, cook for the children, change diapers, and earn money to support the family. I will be a workhorse outside, and I will have to serve them as a nanny when I get home. How can I live like this?"

Zhang Xiuhua was shocked. "You are the only one who does all the work at home and outside?"

Many men have two different faces before and after marriage. They promised well before marriage, but became hands-off bosses after marriage. And women have a weak spot when they have children. In this era, divorce is not easy. Women can only endure it, and if they can't endure it, they can only hang themselves or drink pesticides. What happened later? The divorce rate has been rising. Many women simply don't get married.

"No, An Rou said she was only responsible for working and didn't like doing housework. At first, An Rou didn't want to have a child, and I agreed to it. She forced me to get sterilized, but I..." At this point, Li Jianxin felt a little guilty, "I was afraid that others would say I was raped, so I didn't dare to go. Who knew she would get pregnant. We clearly did what the book said..."

He pouted, "What kind of book is this? It's not accurate at all!"

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him quietly. Li Jianxin blushed and couldn't continue talking, so he had to go back to the previous topic, "Even if she got pregnant, she couldn't have an abortion. It would harm her health. Then I said I would give birth to the baby and raise it. I was very worried during that time. I couldn't sleep every night and could only run to my mother's front door and cry."

He was not ashamed at all when he talked about this embarrassing thing. Zhang Xiuhua really admired his shamelessness.

"Later, Zhou Zhiqing gave me a good idea, and my father-in-law agreed, and my wife also agreed. But who could have thought that she would go back on her word and deny it." Li Jianxin felt like the sky was falling. He squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and scolded An Rou for being unreasonable. "It was clearly something we had agreed to, but she still argued. She even scolded me and fought with me! It's unreasonable! I used to think that literate women were reasonable, but she is not reasonable at all. I really misjudged her."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, but she decided to give him a strong dose of medicine first, "You should pay more attention to your wife first. Be careful that she will suffer from postpartum depression and commit suicide later!"

This frightened Li Jianxin so much that he got up from the ground and raised his voice, "What?! Suicide! Why? I didn't commit suicide, why did she do it!"
