Chapter 147 The Strange Event of the Daniel Family

"When did you come back?" I handed the lighter in front of Daniel, and lit a cigarette for him.

Daniel skillfully exhaled smoke: "I came back half a month ago. I heard about your grandfather when I came back. Later, I went to your house to look for you. Unfortunately, you are not at home!"

Half a month ago?Well, when Daniel came looking for me, I was still practicing in Yincoffin Mountain!
"Your grandpa is a good man. He has done a lot of good things for the villagers in his life. He left a little suddenly this time. God has no eyes! Xiaogu, I know that grandpa is your only family member, so please let me go!"

I nodded: "Thank you for your concern, well, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. Seriously, why did you think of going back to Hezi Village? Are you coming back to visit relatives? Or are you staying permanently?"

Daniu smiled: "Hezi Village is my hometown. When I was outside, I always wanted to come back. This time, I don't plan to leave. My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I plan to settle down in Hezi Village. Stop wandering around, it's not good for the kids either!"

"Oh, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. Congratulations. When will my nephew come out? You must bring a letter! By the way, when will you show me my sister-in-law? I heard that my sister-in-law is very beautiful." !"I said.

In the first two years, I heard people say that when Daniel was working in Jiangsu, he met a beautiful girl. The two of them worked in the same factory. What about the big bull who actively pursued it.

Daniel chuckled: "Sure! Sure! Xiaogu, have you found someone yet? My wife has a cousin..."

"My business, I don't need you to worry about it!" I rejected Daniel's kindness, because I already have someone in my heart.

"Hey! Look at your wicked smile, you have someone in your heart, don't you? Bring your brothers and daughter-in-law back to the village to show me sometime!" Daniel patted my shoulder and stamped out the cigarette butt: "It's getting late , I’ll go back first! I’ll go to my brother’s house tomorrow for a drink!”

"Okay! Go home and make more delicious food for my sister-in-law!" I smiled and waved goodbye to Daniel.

After walking not far, Daniel followed up and stopped me in a low voice.

"Brother Big Niu, is there anything else?" I saw that Big Niu seemed to have something to say to me.

"I want to ask you something!" Daniel looked around and said in a low voice, "Xiaogu, you are an intellectual and know more things than us. Let me ask you, how long is this woman's pregnancy considered normal?"

I smiled slightly, I didn't expect that Da Niu would ask me such a thing: "Brother Da Niu, you have always heard of being pregnant in October, right? You are almost becoming a father, why don't you even know this?"

"Then...then..." Daniel's expression was a little unnatural: "Then what if she was pregnant for two years?"

"Two years?!" I yelled all of a sudden, and Daniel quickly covered my mouth with his hand: "Brother, keep your voice down! Keep your voice down!"

I shook my head: "Brother Big Niu, are you joking? How can anyone be pregnant for as long as two years? I'm afraid only Nezha has been like this since ancient times!"

Daniel lowered his head, with a sad face: "That is to say, if the pregnancy lasts for more than one year, is it considered normal?"

"That must be abnormal! It's not abnormal, it's just impossible!" I said firmly.

"Okay, I... I'll go back first..." Daniel sighed, turned his head and left.

I thought about it carefully, and felt that something was wrong with Daniel, so I quickly followed him: "Brother Daniel, why did you suddenly ask me about this, could it be that my sister-in-law..."

Daniel stopped in his tracks and looked at me with a distressed face.

He didn't speak, but I already understood: "You just said sister-in-law? The sister-in-law has been pregnant for two years?"

"Yes!" Daniel nodded heavily.

I was so surprised that I lost my voice and said, "How could this happen? Have you gone to the hospital for an examination?"

"Of course I've been! I've been to big hospitals in Shanghai and BJ!" Daniel said.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked.

Daniel showed pain on his face: "The doctor can't find out what's wrong!"

"Have you ever had a B-ultrasound? You should be able to see the situation in the abdomen after a B-ultrasound!" I said.

Daniel said: "Of course it was done, but it turned out...your sister-in-law doesn't have a fetus in her stomach..."

No fetus? !
I was surprised again: "You mean sister-in-law is pregnant, but there is no fetus in her stomach? This is too unscientific, is it true that sister-in-law is not pregnant at all!"

Daniel said: "Why didn't you get pregnant? We went to the hospital for an examination when we were just pregnant, and the doctor said the fetus was healthy. When you were three or five months old, your sister-in-law said that the child kicked her in the stomach. Now your sister-in-law Your stomach is as big as a basket, but there is nothing in the basket, do you think it is strange?"

I pursed my lips and didn't make a sound. What happened to Brother Big Niu is really strange, which is a bit unbelievable.They went to the hospital every month to check the condition of the fetus, which showed that there was a fetus in the sister-in-law's stomach.But when I went to the hospital for an examination later, the doctor said that there was no fetus in my sister-in-law's stomach. What was even more strange was that my sister-in-law's stomach did not get smaller, and it was still as round as when she was pregnant.

Daniu rubbed his hands, his eyes were red: "We are almost dying of anxiety because of this matter. You said the fetus was in the stomach well, how could it disappear for no reason? Even if it was a miscarriage, your sister-in-law will also have a miscarriage Bleeding, the stomach will also become smaller, but her stomach is still swollen. We have tried Western medicine and Chinese medicine, but it doesn’t get better. Your sister-in-law is also stubborn. She still doesn’t believe that the child just died for no reason. Later, she didn't even go to the hospital, and every time she called those doctors liars, I was worried that she couldn't accept the reality, so I had to take her back to the countryside to recuperate!"

"So what are you going to do now?" I asked.

Daniel kept sighing and sighing: "I don't know either! You said that I am an honest man, how did I end up in such a bad thing, God is really short-sighted!"

I thought about it: "How about this, Brother Big Niu, I will go back with you to see my sister-in-law, and then discuss what to do next!"

"Alright!" Daniel said, "Let's go, and my brother and I will get together too. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together!"

When passing by the stewed meat shop in the village, Daniel cut up a catty of braised pig ears, and then bought a bottle of shochu at the small shop.Originally, I went to pay, but Daniel refused to live and die, saying that he hadn't invited me to drink half a meal in all these years, so I didn't refuse.

On the way home, I chatted with Daniel, who told me that he worked hard outside for several years and saved some money, but unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law had such a strange thing, and all the savings over the years were gone.Now I can't go out to work, and I have to stay at home to watch over my wife, so I can only do casual jobs in nearby villages or cities.

The old house of Daniu’s house is the same as ours. With the support of the government, it has been renovated into a small building with the second floor and the ground floor, but the room looks a bit monotonous without too much decoration.Daniel originally planned to come back to renovate the house, but now all the savings are used for his daughter-in-law's medical treatment.

When I got home, Daniu’s mother was making a fire and cooking, and she was very enthusiastic when she saw me coming, so she quickly welcomed me into the room: "Oh, isn’t this Xiaogu, it’s a rare visitor, come here, come on, fast forward Sit in the house, come in and sit in the house!"

I am one of the few college students in the village. In the eyes of the villagers, I am an intellectual, so they respect me somewhat when they see me.

Daniel pulled me, handed the pig ears to his mother, and said proudly: "Isn't that right, Professor Tuoba is here today, Mom, you should prepare two more dishes, my brothers should drink some wine, By the way, get another plate of peanuts!"

"I know! I know!" Daniu's mother took the pig's ear and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

"Go, let me show you your sister-in-law!" Daniel led me into the bedroom.

Daniel's wife is indeed a pretty girl, with long hair and big eyes, she doesn't look like a countryman at all.When we entered, she was sitting on the bed knitting sweaters for children.

I saw a lot of newly knitted sweaters on the bed, and I felt a little sad.

"Tingting, we have a visitor today. Let me introduce you. This is my good friend since childhood. His name is Tuobagu. He is a college student in our village. He studies archaeology. He is amazing!" Daniel said. Proudly introducing to his wife, in our rural village, it seems to be a great honor to meet two college students, and it is a very honorable thing.

"Sister-in-law, hello!" I greeted Daniel's daughter-in-law. Daniel just told me her daughter-in-law's name was Yu Tingting.

"Tuobagu? Oh, please sit down, please sit down, we haven't had any visitors for a long time!" Yu Tingting put down the sweater in her hand and smiled at me.She has a big belly, chubby, looks like she is pregnant in October.

I thought to myself, if Yu Tingting dresses more stylishly, she will definitely be able to fascinate many men. Da Niu is really lucky.It's a pity that when God gave you one thing, he would deprive you of another thing. He gave Daniel a beautiful wife, but made Daniel lose his child. This is how good fortune tricks people.

I went up and chatted casually with Yu Tingting, I found a faint black line in her pupils, I couldn't help but thumped in my heart, but there was no sound on the surface.

After chatting for a while, we went downstairs to eat, and the family chatted while eating, but it was also very happy.

I told Yu Tingting a lot of interesting things about my childhood, which made her giggle.

Yu Tingting and Daniu's mother left the table soon, and Daniu's mother took Tingting upstairs to watch TV. Only Daniel and I were drinking in the living room.

Daniel picked up the wine glass: "Xiaogu, thank you, Tingting hasn't smiled like this for a long time, this glass of wine is to respect you as a brother!"

I bumped into Daniel, took a sip of wine, then put down the glass and stared at Daniel: "Brother Daniel, to tell you the truth, my sister-in-law's illness is unusual, she... probably... Ghost!"
