Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

Meishan Sanatorium.

In the ward, the monitor kept beeping.

Fang Wei half-opened his eyes and looked at the two people standing by the bed: his wife and son.

"Mom, what are you dawdling for? The sooner you pull it out, the cleaner it will be."

The son frowned, and when he looked up and met his father's gaze, he immediately curled his lip in disgust: "What are you looking at? The money you spent in the ICU for just one day is enough for an average person to live on for six months!"

"Besides, you're not my biological father, the sooner you die, the better!"

Fang Wei's throat suddenly made a "hoarse" sound. What did that mean? What did he mean by not being his biological father?!

"Only Wu Shaoli is so stubborn, treating you like a precious gem."

Mei Yan peeled a grape and popped it into her mouth, mocking, "To give your Fang family a son, you gave birth to seven in a row, and in the end they were all money-losing goods, their lives were worth less than grass."

"Oh, right."

The son suddenly chuckled.

"I heard that stupid woman jumped into the river with that sick girl the other day? She's really something, not even caring about taking a burden with her when she's trying to die."

Fang Wei's vision went black. He wanted to yell, to jump out of bed, but he couldn't muster any strength in his body. All he could do was curse, "Beast..."

"Who are you calling a jerk?!"

Mei Yan's face darkened. This old bastard dared to insult her precious son!

She gave her son a wink.

The mother and son immediately pounced on him and grabbed Fang Wei by the neck!

Fang Wei's eyes bulged outwards as he was pinched, staring intently at the two distorted faces above him, contorted by the force of the pinch.

He used to cherish this mother and son dearly, giving them everything they wanted.

But today, they won't even wait a little longer for him to breathe his last. This is retribution!

……

Fang Wei's temples throbbed.

He stared at the smoke-blackened roof beams above his head, and after a long pause, he finally recognized that this was the mud house where he and Wu Shaoli had lived for most of their lives.

He propped himself up on his arms and sat up, his face filled with disbelief: He had actually been reborn?!

Large patches of plaster have fallen off the adobe walls, the wooden windows are cracked, and the stove against the wall was built by Fang Wei himself.

A person was squatting in front of the stove. She was so thin that her shoulder blades were pushing against her cloth shirt. It was Wu Shaoli.

A row of little girls were squeezed next to her.

Fang Wei counted them: seven.

The eldest daughter was only a little over ten years old, and she was carrying a snotty-nosed little sister in her arms.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

A little girl tugged at Wu Shaoli's clothes, her eyes practically gleaming with greed.

The water in the pot was boiling, with a few eggs floating on top.

"Shh-"

Wu Shaoli hurriedly turned around and whispered, "Keep your voice down!"

Fang Wei's throat tightened, and he couldn't help but call out, "Shaoli!"

Wu Shaoli shuddered, and the fire poker in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

"I'm so sorry..."

She kept her head down, not even daring to look up at Fang Wei. "The children are starving, and I only cooked two eggs... I won't do it again next time."

The seven maids all shrank behind her, looking at him with fear on their faces.

Fang Wei stood there, stunned.

Boiled eggs? Oh, he remembered.

The few eggs laid by the old hen at home were always eaten by him alone.

Wu Shaoli gave birth to seven daughters in a row, which made him unable to stand up straight in the village. Everyone talked behind his back and called him a childless man.

He simply stopped going home altogether. Whenever he had a little money, he would go drinking and playing dominoes. Later, with the encouragement of a group of drinking buddies, he started an affair with Mei Yan from the village.

From then on, Wu Shaoli and her daughters became thorns in his side.

If anything goes wrong, a slap or a kick will follow.

They wouldn't even dare to smell something as precious as an egg.

Just last night, he stayed at Mei Yan's house until late at night, and then stumbled home drunk.

Wu Shaoli stood guard at the door and timidly asked, "Why are you back so late?" Just that one question was enough for him to swing his arm and beat her up.

Thinking about all this, Fang Wei wished he could slap himself to death.

Fortunately, Wu Shaoli was gentle. If it were a woman like Mei Yan, she probably would have learned from Pan Jinlian and secretly poisoned his bowl to send him away.

Fang Wei forced a smile, trying to appear amiable: "It's alright, it's already cooked, you and your children can eat it."

As soon as she said those words, Wu Shaoli's face turned deathly pale, and she knelt down with a thud.

"I was wrong, I won't do it again! This egg was saved for you, you eat it, you eat it... We won't eat it, we really won't..."

As she spoke, she got up and went to scoop the scalding hot eggs from the pot.

"Don't move!"

Fang Wei hurriedly jumped off the bed.

As soon as he approached, Wu Shaoli and the seven maids all shrank their necks and covered their heads.

Fang Wei felt as if he had been punched in the chest.

He was the one who did it, and his wife and daughter trembled whenever he raised his hand.

He had to do it himself, scooping the eggs one by one into a basin of cold water: "Let them cool before eating."

But no one dared to move.

There was no other way but to wait until the eggs were warm. Fang Wei found a rough porcelain plate with a dent, peeled off all the eggs, and broke them into ten pieces, one by one.

"Here, one serving for each person, eat it while it's hot."

There were fewer than expected, but looking at the seven thin, gaunt faces, he couldn't tell any more.

"Fang Wei, I beg you."

Wu Shaoli, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her face.

"Don't sell the children, okay? If you have to sell them... sell me instead. I'll go with you. They're still so young, they won't eat much."

Her voice was trembling.

"From now on, I'll only eat one meal a day, no, I won't eat any at all. I'll do all the dirty and hard work, please don't sell them..."

Selling children?

Fang Wei froze, then remembered.

He sold his youngest daughter for three hundred yuan in his previous life.

After tasting the benefits, he planned to sell all the remaining "money-losing items" in the house, but Wu Shaoli cried and desperately tried to stop him every time.

Now he's pretending to distribute eggs here, but in Wu Shaoli's eyes, isn't that just a weasel paying respects to a chicken?

"Shao Li..."

Fang Wei's throat tightened. "You guys eat. I swear to God, I'll never sell to anyone in my life!"

Wu Shaoli couldn't believe a word of it and knelt down again: "I beg you! Hit me, scold me, anything..."

When the girls saw their mother like this, they all knelt down and burst into tears.

This isn't a home; it's a hell Fang Wei built with his own hands: "I...I'll go out and find something to eat!"

After saying that, he practically fled out the door.

Perhaps the children would eat the eggs if he wasn't around.

Once inside the courtyard, Fang Wei raised his hand and slapped himself twice!

He looked back at his three mud houses, half of which had collapsed. Inside, there was not a single chair, only a bed, and the rice jar was almost empty.

Last night, all the money in his pocket ended up in Mei Yan's hands.

Right now, his pockets are cleaner than his face!

Although he said he was going out to find something to eat, he didn't have a single penny on him. Where could he go?

Fang Wei had a general idea of ​​what the world would be like in the next few years, but it was of no use now!

Just then, a voice suddenly popped into his head:

[Daily Report: One hundred paces south of Eagle's Beak Rock in Meishan, there is a nest of gray rabbits hidden in the grass.]

Fang Wei was stunned, his heart leaping into his throat.

Gray rabbit?

If we can really catch him, then at least my whole family won't go hungry today!
