chapter 2(1/2)
After a while, Gu Sui'er finally recovered and started working in the fields.
Everyone in the village knew that she had encountered such a thing and knew that she felt uncomfortable, so they agreed not to mention it anymore. The tongue ladies also reminded each other and stopped talking.
But when Gu Sui'er was working, she became more and more clumsy. When she was time to pull the weeds, she hoeed the ground and when she was time to water, she looked like she was about to step into the river.
Apart from this, she has never been able to eat and is extremely thin.
Gu Sui'er's parents didn't let her go to work, but only let her raise her at home. If she didn't go to the ground, she would chop wild vegetables and feed pigs, pick up the front and after of the house, and then sew clothes for her family.
But on this day, Gu Sui'er, who was chopping vegetables, suddenly fainted there.
When Gu Suier's parents returned home, she had been lying next to the cutting board for a long time.
Gu Sui'er's parents were frightened and quickly went to the town to invite a doctor. After the doctor came, they took Gu Sui'er's pulse. After a while, they were stunned. Finally, they said, "This is a pregnancy."
The doctor frowned when he saw Gu Sui'er not combing the ordinary woman's Luo Kuang, but he didn't say anything.
After seeing off the doctor, Gu Sui'er's father sat on the stone pier in front of the house without saying a word. Gu Sui'er's mother burst into tears again, and her tears were about to flow out these days: "What should I do now? Why is Sui'er's life so miserable!"
Gu Suier's younger brother stood there blankly, but he didn't know what to do. He was five years younger than Gu Suier and was only ten years old now.
Gu Sui'er's father was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind to say, "This child cannot be wanted. When the child is gone, the wind will pass, let's find another family for Sui'er. There are so many bachelors in the nearby villages, and there will always be a suitable family."
Gu Sui'er's mother listened and knew that she could only do this, but she thought about the original excellent marriage, how many people in the village envied her, but now she has lost nothing. Sui'er's reputation is now like this, and if it spreads again, can she still marry that in the future?
Even the widow who married a daughter with her and lost her husband was serious, and it was not embarrassing to say it. But Gu Suier was not easy to talk about.
At this time, Gu Sui'er woke up in a daze, not knowing what had happened.
Gu Sui'er's mother quickly went to get a bowl of rice soup and fed it to Gu Sui'er. She said softly: "Good daughter, you are sick, hurry up and drink this food. My mother will go to the kitchen to make you delicious food."
Gu Sui'er was indeed hungry, which was something that hadn't happened for a long time, so she took it and drank it.
After drinking the rice soup, Gu Sui'er's mother did not go to the kitchen to cook, but only told Gu Baoer to cook some food. She hurried to Aunt Wang's house next door.
Aunt Wang's family has four sons and three daughters, one of whom is born a year, and she is afraid that she will not be able to raise her. Later, she didn't know what method she could do, but she never gave birth again.
Gu Sui'er's mother thought that the doctor had already left, so she might as well ask Aunt Wang Er first.
When Aunt Wang heard Gu Sui'er's mother explain her purpose, she was shocked: "Oh, hey, this is a sin! Why is this happening to a daughter's family?"
Gu Sui'er's mother wiped her tears and said, "I can't tell anyone about this. Her second aunt, I have no choice but to ask you now."
Aunt Wang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I have a prescription here. My in-laws' aunt asked for it from a temple on the mountain. She also spent a lot of money on it. Now I've given it to you, so you can't spread it."
Gu Sui'er's mother naturally thanked her. At that moment, Aunt Wang lifted up the bedding on the kang and saw a mat below, and a yellowed prescription pressed under the mat.
She handed it to Gu Sui'er's mother carefully and reminded her: "You can't let outsiders know about it, you must remember to return it after using it."
Gu Sui'er's mother was grateful in her heart and nodded repeatedly.
When he got home, Gu Sui'er's mother gave the prescription to Gu Sui'er's father and said sneakily: "Hurry up and go to the town again, ask the doctor, and take the medicine according to this. Now we don't use his prescription, but we have saved money."
Gu Sui'er's father took it and looked down, but he couldn't understand it. Their family was illiterate.
Gu Sui'er's father put on his clothes, folded the yellow paper and put it in his arms, and then went out to set off.
Gu Sui'er's mother went over to talk to Gu Sui'er for a while and comforted her randomly. At this time, Gu Sui'er's brother had already cooked the rice. He just heated the past coarse bread and put some rice in the pot and made a pot of soup. Gu Sui'er's mother couldn't eat anything after drinking the bowl of rice soup just now. Gu Sui'er's mother had no appetite.
The family didn't eat at the moment, and they all sat there in a daze. After a while, Gu Sui'er finally said, "Where is my father?"
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly smiled and said, "Your father is going to the town, there is something wrong."
Gu Sui'er felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything.
She was lazy and had no strength at all, so she could only lean on the kang with her eyes closed and resting on the head of the kang to rest.
After noon, Gu Sui'er's father finally came back, holding a yellow paper bag in his hand and tied it with a thin linen. Gu Sui'er knew it was medicine.
Gu Sui'er's mother took the yellow paper bag and said to Gu Sui'er: "You are weak now. I asked your father to go to the town to get medicine for you. You'll be fine after taking it."
Gu Sui'er looked at the yellow paper bag and whispered: "I can go to the fields to work in a few days, don't spend money to buy me medicine."
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly said, "Didn't you faint? The doctor gave her the prescription, so I will naturally not buy it for you in the future."
As he said this, Gu Sui'er's mother went out and boiled the medicine.
Gu Sui'er's younger brother bit his lip, and didn't say anything. He stuck a pillar like a pillar for a long time, and finally went out.
When the sun was setting west, the medicine was boiled. Gu Sui'er's mother brought it over and handed it to Gu Sui'er: "Come on, take the medicine, Sui'er."
Gu Suier's younger brother heard it from the steps outside and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
Gu Sui'er felt uncomfortable in her stomach and had nausea in her throat. However, she bought the medicine she had worked hard with money, so she took it and endured the nausea and drank it.
Gu Sui'er's mother stared at Gu Sui'er without blinking, but after drinking the medicine for a long time, Gu Sui'er didn't move.
Gu Sui'er's mother couldn't help but wonder, is this effective?
At this moment, Gu Sui'er suddenly became disgusted, got up suddenly, lay on the kang, and with a "ah", she spit out a lot of black medicine juice from her mouth.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurried over to support her and helped Gu Sui'er massage her back.
Gu Suier's younger brother also ran in quickly.
Gu Sui'er was about to burst into tears. She lay on the kang, holding her confused and helpless clear eyes and looked at her: "Mom, I'm really useless. I've spit out the medicine you have worked so hard."
Gu Sui'er's mother stared at her daughter in a daze, thinking that she had vomited all the medicine? Did she leave some in her stomach?
Or should I ask Gu Suier’s father to go to the town to get a pair of medicine?
Just as she was thinking, Gu Sui'er suddenly turned pale and she covered her stomach in pain: "Mom, my stomach hurts!"
Gu Sui'er's mother was startled, exclaimed, and hurried forward to hug her daughter.
But Gu Sui'er was in pain and rolling around on the kang, sweating on her forehead was falling.
Seeing that his sister was in great pain, Gu Sui'er's younger brother was anxious and asked his mother: "Mom, what kind of medicine is this? Why does my sister feel so painful!"
Gu Sui'er's mother wiped her tears. She thought that there was a piece of meat in her belly. If the meat was to fall off, it would naturally hurt!
Gu Sui'er's father heard the movement inside, but it was the matter of his daughter's house, so he couldn't get in, so he could only sit on the stone pier outside and was anxious.
Gu Sui'er struggled in the bed for a long time, and finally her stomach stopped hurting. Some mucus flowed out from under her, and her underwear was wet.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly drove Gu Sui'er's younger brother out and helped Gu Sui'er clean up.
There was some red in the underwear, but not much.
Gu Sui'er's mother was a little confused. She first helped Gu Sui'er lie down and asked Gu Sui'er's younger brother to feed Gu Sui'er some food. She took the underwear and did not wash the underwear, but went to the next door Aunt Wang's house.
When Aunt Wang saw the underwear, she knew that the matter was done, but when she looked at the blood on it, she was confused: "I'm afraid that this kind of blood won't work, right?"
Gu Sui'er's mother was anxious when she heard this: "Why didn't it happen? Then where did this blood come from now?"
Aunt Wang thought for a while and finally said, "Maybe he had beaten the wronged, but he was only half beaten. I'm afraid he's still in his stomach now."
Gu Suier's mother immediately stared at this.
I still have half of my stomach, what's going on?
After Gu Sui'er's mother returned, she told Gu Sui'er's father about this.
Gu Sui'er's father was so anxious that his face turned dark. He said that he wanted to put on his clothes and go to the town to find a doctor.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly grabbed Gu Sui'er's father: "If it's dark today, please take a break. Besides, I don't know what my daughter is like. Now I'm afraid she can't stand it. Let's talk about it for a few days."
Gu Sui'er's father looked at Gu Sui'er who was lying silently in the room, sighed, and finally stopped.
Gu Sui'er's younger brother was guarding Gu Sui'er. At this time, Gu Sui'er's face was pale, just like white paper, with sweat on her forehead and strands of hair stuck to her forehead. Even in her sleep, she seemed to be in so much pain and frowned.
Gu Suier's younger brother raised his hand and wiped Gu Suier's sweat.
Gu Sui'er's mother entered the house and looked at Gu Sui'er lying in front of her. She suddenly remembered Gu Sui'er's watery appearance before, and she burst into tears.
What a sin this has done!
The next day, Gu Sui'er woke up, but it seemed as if nothing had happened yesterday. She struggled to feed the pigs and cook.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly stopped her.
Gu Sui'er didn't ask what the medicine was going on that day, but just tried hard to raise her body and struggled to get up and work.
But after living like this, Gu Suier's belly gradually bulged.
At first, everyone thought Gu Sui'er was fat, but later, everyone felt something was wrong. Gu Sui'er's arms were thin, her face was not as beautiful as before, and she was very haggard, but only her belly was bulging.
It just so happens that summer is coming, and the clothes are thin, so the belly is particularly obvious.
Finally, I started to discuss it. I felt sorry for Gu Sui'er's life, so I avoided Gu Sui'er's secret discussion.
On this day, Gu Sui'er's little sister, Ah Liu, next door, came to find Gu Sui'er to do work. After seeing Gu Sui'er for a long time, she finally couldn't help but say, "You, do you have it?"
Gu Sui'er was stunned.
Ah Liu hurriedly said: "Everyone in the village said that you have children in your stomach."
Gu Sui'er looked down in a daze and touched her bloated belly.
Ah Liu sighed: "Why don't you kill it? Why don't you keep it? Isn't this a sin?"
Although Ah Liu is a girl's house, she is the eldest and has so many sisters in the family. Her mother, Aunt Wang, often has this kind of thing, and Ah Liu gradually understands it.
From that moment on, Gu Sui'er has been covering her stomach, looking outside blankly, and never said a word again.
