Chapter 318 Failure
Chapter 318 Failure
So my second aunt-in-law only gave birth to two children and stopped there.
Learn from others.
Jiang Tongjin also doesn't want his wife to have too many children.
Anyway, my sister is still young, so just treat her like a daughter.
Of course, he only dared to keep these words in his heart.
Dare not say it out loud.
Otherwise, Fourth Uncle will scold me.
With the example of Xu Zhaoer, the Jiang family members firmly believed what Jiang Fubao said.
Therefore, in the following days, they began to make small quilts, clothes, bellybands, etc. for the unborn child.
They are all made for boys.
After the word spread by a few loudmouthed women at the entrance of the village, the whole village knew in just one night that Jiang Fubao could tell the gender of a baby during pregnancy.
The next morning, someone from the village came to ask Jiang Fubao to check his stomach.
There are about ten pregnant women in the village.
In some families of thirty people, there are three pregnant women.
There are various months.
Within three days.
Jiang Fubao read them all.
Whenever she was pregnant with a boy, she would tell the truth, so that the pregnant woman would be treated better during the pregnancy.
If she's pregnant with a girl, she'll say she doesn't know and doesn't want to hear it.
Otherwise, if she met a family that extremely favored boys over girls, and drank a bowl of abortion medicine, she would lose her virtue.
I don't know how this matter got out.
One evening, Jiang Fubao returned to the village with his family.
She found a group of people waiting for her at the door.
They all come to see the belly.
Zhang Jinlan got angry and drove them all away.
He also threatened not to help anyone in the future.
Jiang Fubao was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
In early October, the weather became increasingly cold, and the potatoes in Jiangjia Village were about to be harvested.
At that time, a carriage entered the town before dark, and less than a quarter of an hour later, another carriage followed.
One drove towards Wanlu Street, and the other stopped at the gate of Deng Mansion in Pinshu Lane, Youran Street.
After the carriage stopped, a man with ordinary looks and ordinary clothes got off.
He took out some silver from his pocket, handed it to the coachman, knocked on the door and went in.
The coachman moved the carriage to another position and left.
He did not rush to leave the city, but instead found a cheap inn on the street to rest, preparing to continue his journey tomorrow.
At this time, the previous carriage arrived at Wanlu Street.
Ma Wuxing and Zhou Yuanyuan came down one after another.
Zhou Yuanyuan's belly had grown several sizes bigger, so much so that it was very difficult for her to get off the carriage.
But Ma Wuxing didn't even offer to help him.
"Okay, I've given you the money. Just stay here and give birth to the baby. As for what I told you before, I'm afraid it's impossible to do it. Don't bother me. If you make me angry, I won't be happy, and you won't be happy either."
Ma Wuxing's attitude was completely different from when he left.
He had a cold face and didn't even want to look at Zhou Yuanyuan.
Now he regrets as much as he can.
He failed the imperial examination this time.
He felt that it was Zhou Yuanyuan who kept hooking him, causing him to be unable to concentrate on his studies and to the point that he failed to even pass the examination to become a scholar.
There was resentment in his eyes immediately.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought you along. You're still restless even when you're pregnant. I'm sure I'll be scolded when we go to my father-in-law's house later. Are you satisfied now?"
After saying that, Ma Wuxing turned away.
As for the money for renting a carriage, he had already handed it to the coachman when he was checking at the city gate.
Just like the groom just now.
The groom also chose to stay in the town for one night and set off again the next morning.
Zhou Yuanyuan stood there, watching Ma Wuxing's figure walking further and further away.
Her face was pale and she was tightly holding a very small piece of silver in her hand.
Converted into copper coins, it is only about one hundred coins.
What can this little money do?
I thought that this time when I came back, even if I couldn’t become the wife of a juren, I could at least become the wife of a scholar.
However, nothing happened.
Not only that, it also made Xinglang angry.
She felt a little scared.
But when she looked at her huge belly, she felt relieved instantly.
Yes, she already has a son, so what is there to be afraid of? Once the child is born, Xinglang will naturally calm down.
My son’s face is more important than anything else.
It takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk from Wanlu Street to Youran Street. When Ma Wuxing arrived at the gate of Deng's house, it was just getting dark.
He winced.
Like a timid old turtle.
I felt uneasy before I even knocked on the door.
He didn’t win this time, and he didn’t know how his father-in-law would scold him.
Next year, he won’t dare take Zhou Yuanyuan with him again.
Gather up the courage to knock on the door.
He clasped his hands in front of his stomach, rubbing his fingers from time to time.
He walked into the main room with a nervous look on his face.
"father......"
"boom--"
Ma Wuxing uttered only one word.
I was so scared.
Because a cup brushed past his ear and hit the door heavily.
It was smashed to pieces in an instant.
If only his head was slightly tilted to the left.
The cup will fall on his face.
The splinters could have blinded him.
"You deserve to die—"
Deng Jinian glared fiercely at Ma Wuxing who was standing at the door.
Next to him stood the man who had come in earlier.
"You beast, how has Wangshu ever wronged you? Why do you treat her like this? I only have one daughter like her, and you, you, you!"
Deng Jinian was so angry that he covered his chest.
I could hardly breathe.
"You actually have a mistress! She's pregnant, and her belly is bigger than Wangshu's. You beast, I think you had an affair with her before you got married? If that's the case, why did you marry my Wangshu!
God has eyes, people like you deserve to fail the exam, I don't want to say any more to you, sign this divorce book and get out of my house! The house you live in, the clothes you wear, the books you buy, all cost me money, don't even think about taking a penny with you!"
Deng Jinian slapped the table.
Next to him was the divorce letter he had just written.
Deng Wangshu was also called over from the house by the servants.
"Dad, what's wrong? When I came in, I heard you scolding my husband. He just came back and was exhausted. Why were you scolding him? My husband, did you pass the exam to become a scholar?"
Deng Wangshu walked in from the yard.
She put her hands behind her waist.
The belly was much bigger than when Ma Wuxing left.
It's a bit difficult to walk.
"No, I didn't pass the exam. My wife, I will work hard and I will definitely be on the list next year. Can you please ask my father for me? It's my fault. I shouldn't let you down. I was bewildered. It's all my fault. I don't like her at all. I cut off all contact with her long before I married you.
But before my exam, she suddenly came to me and said she was pregnant with my child. She kept pestering me and forced me to take her with me to the exam, otherwise she would come to find you. I don’t want to lose you, my wife, so I had to take her with me. She deliberately prevented me from studying, which led to my failure. I could have passed the exam, but it was all her fault...”
Ma Wuxing fell to his knees with a plop.
He hugged Deng Wangshu's legs.
Crying and begging for forgiveness.
He cannot be driven away.
Without the support of the Deng family, he would not have the money to continue taking the exam.
I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find a place to live.
