1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 298

Chapter 298 The third child, Li Shuihua

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

In the middle of the night, after Li Duoyu was woken up by Uncle Zhuang, he thought someone was going to his kelp field to cause damage again, but he didn't expect that someone actually stole the boat and left the port.

Li Duoyu thought about it. At this time, there was only one possibility to steal a boat and go to sea.

Hundred percent the goods were taken away.

Li Duoyu yawned and said, "Uncle Zhuang, if something really happens, just help Wang Jinshan as a witness and prove that his boat was stolen."

"ah."

“That's it, why don't we chase the boat back?”

Li Duoyu's reaction made Lao Zhuang unable to react for a while.

Li Duoyu sighed: "Uncle Zhuang, I think you should first go to the militia company commander Zhang Erhu for this kind of matter."

After hearing this, Lao Zhuang realized that theft and public security matters were indeed under Zhang Erhu's control.

“Sorry, I woke you up so late at night.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "No, I just fell asleep."

“Then I'm going to find Erhu.”

After Uncle Zhuang left, Li Duoyu's face that pretended to be sleepy suddenly became lifeless.

“It's the first time in the new year, why are you bothering me? I really don't want to be the village director anymore.”

The first day of the Lunar New Year.

The pier was empty, and no fishermen went out to fish. Even the door of the supply and marketing cooperative was not opened. Everyone was playing cards and resting at home.

And it's the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The pier has become lively again. Son-in-laws come to visit on the second day of the new year. Many women who married out of town will return to Dandan Island on this day.

On this day, the eldest brother Li Jinchuan must return to the city to visit Jiang Yuqin's parents.

Before leaving, Chen Huiying was very reluctant to leave. She prepared a lot of dried seafood for him and gave him many instructions.

The eldest brother, Li Jinchuan, had just left. Unexpectedly, the third brother, Li Shuihua, who had married to the next town, came back.

Coming back with her was Li Duoyu's brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng. They came here in their own boat, and they were only ten minutes apart.

When Li Shuihua learned that her eldest brother had just left, she said with a hint of reproach: "I told you to hurry up, but you were so slow to go out that I didn't even see my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Zhang Mingsheng scratched his head: "You didn't tell me that my brother-in-law was back, otherwise I would have arrived long ago."

Li Duoyu was also very happy after meeting Li Shuihua. Since his sister got married, he has only seen her very rarely.

The last time I saw her was when I helped cut down trees the year before last. Last year, my sister didn't come back because her belly was too big.

Li Shuihua is five years older than him. When Li Duoyu was bullied when he was a child, the eldest brother and the second brother would turn a blind eye.

Only Li Shuihua is the most protective. Once Li Duoyu was bullied by a fat man, and her sister chased him half the island.

It wasn't until the fat man fell to the ground and suffered many scratches on his body that he was let go.

Li Duoyu remembered that the fat man later did not dare to pass by his door for fear of being beaten by Li Shuihua.

It is a pity that my sister married too early. Not long after Li Duoyu graduated from junior high school, my sister married in the next town.

After a few brief greetings, Chen Huiying looked at the third child and suddenly said seriously: "Hua, come to the room with me."

When Li Shuihua was called away.

Brother-in-law became nervous.

Li Duoyu said to her brother-in-law: "I am so nervous, surely my sister will be wronged in your house."

Zhang Mingsheng said with a bitter look on his face: "You should know your sister's temper better than I do. How dare I bully her?"

"Too."

Li Duoyu smiled. My sister's personality is completely opposite to that of my father. She is very straightforward and cheerful, and has a heroine-like demeanor.

To be honest, my personality has changed a lot since I got married. It may have something to do with my brother-in-law and their town.

The town in their town is very patriarchal, but my sister gave birth to girls both times.

After Li Shuihua was called by her mother to talk, her brother-in-law kept pacing back and forth outside the door and glanced into the house from time to time.

The face is full of confusion.

After a while, Zhang Mingsheng pulled Li Duoyu aside: "Duoyu, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing his brother-in-law's troubled expression, Li Duoyu's first thought was that he might also be here to borrow money.

But thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. My brother-in-law's family's finances are pretty good. During the contract period, their family chartered a large ship. Although the ship was not theirs, they still made a lot of money after deducting the fees paid.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that after his brother-in-law pulled him aside, instead of asking him to borrow money, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.

“Brother-in-law, what do you mean?”

Zhang Mingsheng asked hesitantly: "It's like this. Shuihua and I are planning to have another child. When the time comes, can we come to Dandan Island?"

This is already very obvious.

Li Duoyu frowned, remembering that her mother suddenly changed her face and called her into the room and asked:

“It's been a few months.”

Seeing that he was exposed, Zhang Mingsheng said directly: "Four months ago, I drank too much, and it happened accidentally."

If you say you're not careful, that's definitely a lie.

In this era, women of childbearing age are closely watched, almost every month and every quarter, and no one is spared.

And after the second pregnancy, a sterilization is necessary. The second sister is still pregnant, which proves that she has not been sterilized at all, and she has avoided the three gynecological examinations every year.

Li Duoyu sighed.

Each era has its own considerations. To evaluate the present based on the experience of future generations would be an afterthought, but it is not impossible.

A sister's ability to avoid so many gynecological examinations must be relevant in their village, but pregnancy is different.

They have two children at home. If someone reports them, they will definitely not be able to escape.

But it's not that there's no other way. What's more, it's better to run back to her parents' house to give birth secretly.

As long as you are married far enough away and others don't know much about your family situation, you can still pretend to be a second child, but Director Liu will usually check it out, so the probability of being dragged away is still very high.

Those who rely on the mountains will run to the mountains to hide and survive secretly.

Digua County next door is even more exaggerated. Many people go abroad to make money, but some also go abroad to have children.

Li Duoyu said: "Don't give me this money. It's useless to give it to me. If you really want my sister to give birth on the island, take some time to find Director Liu of our village. She will take care of this matter."

Brother-in-law frowned and said, "I'm not familiar with her. What if she doesn't agree?"

Li Duoyu sighed: "This era is different from before. If you don't agree, it's probably because you don't give enough."

Brother-in-law suddenly realized: "I understand."

Li Duoyu said: "As long as she passes that test, other village cadres should not embarrass my sister.

“At that time, you and my father-in-law and mother-in-law will have a good discussion and see how to arrange for my sister, but you must be prepared to be fined.”

The brother-in-law nodded and said: "I know this. As long as I can give birth to the child, I will accept the penalty no matter how much it costs." Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "Besides talking to Director Liu, you'd better talk to the second sister-in-law first. ”

Thinking of his second sister-in-law, Zhang Mingsheng's forehead wrinkled: "Actually, what I'm most afraid of is my second sister-in-law. Her mouth is so scary. There are so many fishes. Is there anything you can do?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law's mouth is indeed a bit scary. Again, as long as you give her enough, her mouth can be the strictest among us."

Zhang Mingsheng said helplessly: "I know."

Li Duoyu added: "By the way, when you give benefits to your second sister-in-law, don't give them all at once, but give them to her slowly every month."

“Well, Duoyu, thank you very much. To be honest, if you didn't support me, I would have taken your sister and run away.”

At this moment, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Brother-in-law, if your child is still a girl, what are you going to do?"

After hearing this, the brother-in-law was stunned for a moment and sighed: "If I am still a woman, I have no choice but to accept my fate."

Li Duoyu sighed.

The economy of their town is good, but it is very patriarchal and has a lot of bad habits. If you give birth to three daughters in a row, it will be difficult for you to hold your head high in the village.

The matter of giving birth to a son is actually somewhat related to family inheritance. Some families have very few male children.

For example, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng's family has only one or two boys in almost every generation. The more they want to have boys, the less they can get them.

Li Duoyu said calmly:

“Brother-in-law, if you still have a daughter, you might as well move to the island and raise eels with me.”

His brother-in-law made a fortune from eels in his previous life. He suddenly ran ahead, which might have an impact on his future.

In her previous life, my sister's third child was still a girl, which caused her to be depressed for a long time.

Later, because he made money raising eels, his brother-in-law directly bought a house in the city and asked them to move to the city.

After moving to the city, Ajie focused on raising her children and raised all three daughters very well.

They all take the artistic route.

One has also been the principal dancer of provincial songs, and the other is a music teacher at the university. The youngest one has been hanging out in Hengdian all year round and filmed many anonymous TV series.

　　When Li Duoyu went abroad in his previous life, his brother-in-law took good care of their family.

At that time, Xiao Tutu could not gain a foothold in Rongcheng without the help of sister Li Shuihua.

Li Duoyu said: "You guys came back late. My family has decided to buy a big boat. There are still five shares left that have not been allocated. Brother-in-law, do you want to think about it?"

“How much does one share cost approximately?”

“Five hundred per share.”

Brother-in-law smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I heard that the fine for a third child is at least 5,000. I'd better save some money and pay the fine when the time comes."

Li Duoyu said: "How about I put this money down for you first, and then you can pay it back to me when you have enough money."

Zhang Mingsheng thought about it for a while. His family was originally engaged in fishing boats, so they naturally knew that they could make money by building large boats.

　　“Okay, I'll write you an IOU.”

"Can."

Different from the second brother and second sister-in-law, the brother-in-law is a very trustworthy person. Li Duoyu originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, no matter how good the relationship is, money-related matters cannot be vague.

Not long after, Li Shuihua came out of A Niang's room with red eyes. Judging from the situation, she must have been scolded and cried.

I saw my sister crying.

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and some dead memories suddenly came back to life. The last time he saw her crying seemed to be ten years ago, and she cried because she was afraid of the pain of the stitches.

And the reason why she needed stitches was because she helped him fight and was hit on the chin with a rock. She didn't even cry when the blood was bleeding. But when she got stitches, she cried so hard.

“Sister, I must have been scolded by my mother-in-law. Do you want to give me a hug?”

Li Shuihua was instantly amused.

“You're not afraid, your brother-in-law is jealous.”

“Why are you jealous? You are just a couple, but we are related by blood.”

Zhang Mingsheng was rendered speechless.

When Zhou Xiaoying heard this, her face darkened instantly: "Humph, so I am also an outsider, right?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and said: "We are different. We have slept on the same bed since we were young. We are closer than relatives."

“Just talk nonsense.”

At this moment, Aniang called out from inside the house: "Duoyu, come in, I have something to tell you."

When Li Duoyu came to the room, he discovered that his father was also in the room, sitting there smoking a cigarette alone.

Aniang's eyes were also red, and judging from the situation, she was crying just now.

Aniang said: "You know about your sister, right?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "My brother-in-law just told me."

Chen Huiying said: "Actually, neither your father nor I can make the decision on this matter."

“You are the village director. If your sister comes to our village, I won't be afraid that the tiles will be ripped off and the chickens, ducks and pigs will be taken away. I'm just afraid that it will affect you.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "What's the influence? This village director was originally given to me by my uncle. If it really affects me, then I can give it back to my uncle."

Seeing the indifferent look on the fourth child's face, Lao Li scolded: "You think it's so easy to be a village director. You can change it if you want. I think I should take it off as soon as possible while my belly is not too big."

"I refuse to give birth to things that should be born, and give birth to things that shouldn't be born randomly. I thought the third child was the best, but I didn't think about it. It's not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Chen Huiying's anxious eyes turned red again: "It has been four months and it has already taken shape. No matter what, he is your grandson. Can't you say a few words less?"

Seeing his father's rare anger, Li Duoyu frowned. Once Lao Li got angry, it would be a bit confusing.

Li Duoyu said: "I have discussed it with Mingsheng just now. This matter does not require my intervention and it should not affect me."

Lao Li said: "How come it won't affect us? We live in the same courtyard and you say you don't know that your sister has been hiding in our house. When the time comes, if others report it, you won't be able to run away."

Li Duoyu also thinks that Lao Li is right. For the current policy, this is an absolute high-voltage line.

But even if they didn't help Sister, they definitely wouldn't take it away, but would choose to run away, if I remember correctly.

In her previous life, during the time when she gave birth to her baby, my sister seemed to be running around with a big belly, and finally she gave birth on a train.

Li Duoyu also knew very well that the reason why his father opposed it so strongly was because he was worried about the impact on him.

Li Duoyu said: "After the Lantern Festival, I plan to build a new house. I will move out before my sister gives birth to a child. By then, it will have nothing to do with me."

Old Li was slightly excited.

“Are you finally planning to build a house?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "The one we live in is indeed a bit small. We plan to build a two-story building."

But Lao Li was still worried.

“Are you sure this won't have any impact?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "I'm not a student at Xiaoyang, so what influence can I have? Besides, it won't be good for the higher-ups to get rid of me because of this kind of thing."

　That night, when it was dark, Li Duoyu took his brother-in-law to Director Liu's house.
