rich concubine

Chapter 1980 Old things
At the end of the Qi Dynasty and the beginning of the Meng Dynasty, many children were born on the same day in Qusha County. At that time, the midwives were almost overwhelmed. One birth after another, their hands were not idle. The whole day, the children's cries made them smile. The smile made my mouth burst into tears, and the words of congratulations never stopped.

At that time, everyone said that it was a good year, and all these children were born on the same day. It was a prosperous age, so they all came to enjoy the blessing.

The Tang family and the He family were neighbors in the same village at that time. The Tang family was on the left and the He family was on the right. The relationship between the two families was very close at that time. The fence in the middle was demolished, so they became one family and built it in the center. A large table can be used for two families to have lunch together, admire the moon together, and sit together to drink some wine and chat about daily life in their free time.

It was a sunny day, and Tang's mother and He's mother were sitting together and talking. They were almost certain to be pregnant, and they were both pregnant at the moment.

Since the two of them were a month old, they didn't dare to eat the melon seeds. They were afraid of getting angry and bringing them to the children. They only drank sugar water. As they talked, He's mother's face looked wrong. She held her stomach. This was already It was started, but there was no one in the family at this time. Mother Tang was so anxious that she walked a little way with her big belly in her hands to take care of the fields and ask the family to find a midwife as soon as possible.

As soon as these words were spoken, the men from the Tang and He families all went ashore. The men from the He family went to find the midwife in the village, while the men from the Tang family hurriedly came to support their wife, wondering if she was frightened.

The He family had just brought someone back, and Tang's mother felt something was wrong. Her stomach started to hurt. Because she was pregnant with twins, her belly was a little bigger, and the pain was even more unbearable.

It took only half an hour for the two mothers to enter the delivery room, but Mother He gave birth smoothly. When she heard the child's loud cries, Mother Tang on the other side was sweating profusely and almost fainted from the pain.

At this time of the birth, my mother-in-law, who was always in trouble, had to say: "We are all women, why is it so difficult for you to give birth? Everyone over there has already given birth to a girl."

At the end, he muttered again: "I was more careful than you when I was pregnant, and this life will be smooth. I have told you a long time ago that you have to be careful when you are pregnant. If you don't take it seriously, you will be punished now." Alright."

Not only did the wife, who was lying on the bed suffering, feel uncomfortable hearing this, but even the sweating midwife who delivered the baby next to her couldn't bear to hear it. He's wife has a big frame, so it's easier for her to give birth. Besides, you My wife is pregnant with two children!Don't waste your time, you old woman, bullying your daughter-in-law who is young and doesn't know anything, just talking about it, doesn't this make your family feel bad?
Even the mother-in-law who delivered He's mother came over, and the two of them induced the baby together. When it got dark, Tang's mother was just as angry as a thread, and then there was finally some movement.

The first baby that was born was a boy, and his cry was loud. The second baby that came out was a girl, but her voice was much softer than that of her brother, like a cat. Generally, crying makes people feel distressed.

Anyone who has ever given birth to a child knows that the child is so suffocated in the mother's belly that it cannot cry.

But at least the baby was born. After paying the midwife money, the two families came out to see the two midwives off.

After the two mothers-in-law walked away, the one who delivered Mother Tang's baby earlier waved his arm and said coldly: "Just look, there will be trouble in the Tang family from now on, and Mother-in-law Tang doesn't have any control over her. The words came out of my mouth, my daughter-in-law is just a daughter-in-law, and I will have to rely on my daughter-in-law in the future, haha, now I have completely offended her daughter-in-law."

What the old woman said was a prophecy, but it wasn't just at that moment that Mrs. Tang's words caused trouble. For the next ten years, the role she played in this process was not pleasing to the eye.Because what she said during the birth really offended Mrs. Tang, she couldn't help but feel the urge to compare, especially between her own daughter and the only daughter of the He family who was held in the palm of her hand. In comparison.

But sometimes, the more you compare, the more unsatisfactory you become.

Because they were born on the same day, they had similar names. One was named Xiaomei and the other was named Xiaomei. The two families originally wanted to be harmonious, but unfortunately, the girl named Xiaomei was not beautiful, and instead was named Xiaomei in a more subtle way. That one, she has been beautiful since she was a child, as cute as a lucky doll.

Moreover, Xiaomei started to speak earlier, but Xiaomei didn't call her mother until she was two years old.

They grew up together, and the relationship between adults is still beautiful. Children who speak late are said to be smart, but there is a mother-in-law who can't speak. Compared with Xiaomei next door, she doesn't look down on herself no matter what. My granddaughter thinks she is not good-looking and speaks late, which is really embarrassing.

In fact, this is not the first time there has been such a comparison. For example, when the two babies still need to be held and coaxed, Xiaomei is better behaved, always smiling, and laughing when others tease her. Xiaomei, the child, always loves Cry, after all, who doesn’t like children who love to laugh?It always makes me cry, and listening to it all day long does give me a headache.

The strange thing is that even a grandma has to say unpleasant things and praise other people's children. She often goes to He's house on weekdays and looks at the girl who loves to laugh. I don't know, but I thought that's what she said. She was her own granddaughter. Even the He family felt embarrassed when she did this. After all, she was the only one in the family. Compared with her own daughter, the Tang family had two at once, but the one who was busier, Tang's mother, had given birth to a child. I haven't slept a whole night.

Recalling this, Mrs. Tang sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "It was my first time to be a mother at that time. I didn't understand anything. I had two children at once. One was coaxed, and the other cried again. When I cry, I have to follow him. My child always cries. How can I not be anxious? I thought that my mother-in-law would always help take care of her, but she just wanted to hide away and go to the He family to help with the congratulations. I am not a fool to take care of my children at home. I can see that she is partial to someone else’s house!”

Even though Mrs. Tang has been gone for many years, when I talk about her now, I am still full of resentment. The resentment of childbirth and the hatred of confinement. Even when I have reached the age of being a grandma, I still can't forget it.

Only he knows how heart-warming he was from the glare and cold treatment he suffered in those years.

Later, when the child grew older, Tang's mother paid extra attention to her daughter because her body was not as good as her son's since she was a child. She usually fed her more, so Tang Xiaomei grew stronger. In comparison, He Xiaomei became slimmer and more delicate.

Girls, when they reach the age of recognizing beauty and ugliness, they will unconsciously compare themselves without adults saying anything. In addition, because of her mother-in-law's daily behavior, Tang's mother had long been dissatisfied with He's mother and the children she gave birth to. My daughter was very critical, and she would not say anything nice in front of her daughter.
