After Transmigrating, She Became A Little Widow In A Farming Family

Aunt Yang couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard Li Suniang say that she was not pregnant yet.

"Suniang! If a woman wants to gain a foothold in her husband's family after getting married, the first thing is to give birth to a son quickly. When Du Wei comes back this time, you must hurry up and don't take it lightly." Aunt Yang was afraid that Li Suniang would not take it seriously, so she told her again and again.

Li Suniang also knew that some women in the village were like this. Although they could not read a single word, they could not bear to see others live well. When they saw someone living better than themselves, they would start to feel sour in their hearts. Even if they could not do anything to you, they could always say something to step on you. What's more, now she is a widow who remarried, but she has a good life and does not have to worry about food and clothing, and she does not have to work in the fields.

Of course, she did not have to work in the fields when she was with Niu Da before, but things are different now! She can still marry better than others when she remarries, and those who are shallow-minded will have to say a few sour words.

"Aunt, I know." Li Suniang nodded and replied. She felt that she was upright, and since she married into the Du family, she had rarely left the house. If the family needed anything, it was bought by Father Du. If that was the case, and those people still wanted to gossip, she had no choice. After all, they had their mouths and she couldn't stop them. 

As for why Aunt Yang said that she must give birth to a son instead of a daughter, there was no other way. There was almost a preference for boys over girls here. Sons could carry banners and break pots for their parents, but daughters couldn't. Sons could inherit the family property, but daughters didn't have this right. Families without sons here often had their husband's sons and nephews carry banners and break pots after their death, and of course, the family property was also inherited by their sons and nephews.

Just like Aunt Cuihua, the only regret she had in her life was that she didn't have a son. Although her two daughters were also very filial, daughters were daughters. Just like after her husband died, she could only let one of her eldest brother's sons come to carry banners and break pots for him. And she gave half of the family's land to that nephew and kept the other half for him after she died.

In fact, her uncle wanted her family to adopt this nephew, but Aunt Cuihua didn't want to. It would be different if he was adopted. Normally, she just needed a daughter to be filial, and only when she died would she lack someone to carry the banner. After the adoption, her life might not be as comfortable as it is now, which is why she didn't want to buy land even if she had money.

She could still give the money to her daughters secretly, but if she bought the land, her daughter wouldn't get it. She wasn't stupid. She doesn't want to not spend the money on her daughters but uses it to help others earn face, and she might not get a good name.

Let alone the ancient times, even in her past life, some places still had the idea of ​​giving priority to boys. It's not that they don't like girls, but in their deep-rooted ideas, sons are always more important than daughters.

Some families with sons even withheld the betrothal money of their daughters, which is not a small amount of money! Parents don't even think about whether their married daughters will have a hard time living in their husband's family.@@novelbin@@

After seeing Li Suniang nod to show that she knew, Aunt Yang didn't say anything more. There was no way. Even if she was anxious, it would take more than one or two days to have a baby. In addition, Du Wei was not at home now, so it was useless even if she urged him. Calculating the time, Du Wei would soon come home. She hoped he could stay at home for a while after he came back this time.

After sending Aunt Yang away, Li Suniang couldn't help but touch her belly. In fact, even if Aunt Yang didn't mention it, she knew that to gain a foothold in the Du family, she had to give Du Wei a son. There was no other way. In this era, sons are precious.

Although Du Wei was very good to Xiao Zihao, he was not his blood after all, and he was already old. Others of his age already had two or three children. In fact, she could see that Du Wei also wanted a child, otherwise he would not always touch her belly carefully after every incident. Although he didn't say anything, she saw expectation in his eyes.

When Li Suniang thought of having a child, she began to miss Du Wei. Seeing that the New Year was getting closer and closer and Du Wei still hadn't returned home, Li Suniang began to worry. Fortunately, she had something to do during the day to distract her attention, but she couldn't sleep at night.

Lao Du had always seen Li Suniang's worries. He was afraid that his daughter-in-law, who his son had finally married, would worry about something, so he comforted her, "Zihao's mother, don't worry. A'Wei and the others must have been delayed on the way, and they should be back in the next two days. You know, their escort agency is quite famous, and ordinary thieves don't dare to provoke them easily."

"Really, Dad?" Li Suniang looked at Lao Du and forced a smile.

Although Lao Du said it very confidently, Li Suniang always felt uneasy when she didn't see him coming back. In her heart, she always felt that being a bodyguard was too dangerous. At this time, she felt that Lao Du had really had a hard time over the years. Every time Du Wei went out, he would be alone at home, feeling nervous all day, and no one came to relieve his mental pressure.

If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it. This is the first time, and she's already a little scared. Fortunately, Du Wei has already told her that this is the last time, and he won't do it after the New Year.

Lao Du really said it, and Du Wei came back that night, but because he came home a little late, everyone in the family had already gone to bed.

Looking at the closed courtyard door, Du Wei didn't want to wake up the people who had already gone to bed, so he had to climb over the wall to get in. Fortunately, the walls of his house were made of durable mud bricks.

He threw the things in his hand into the yard first, and then climbed over the wall and jumped in. Unexpectedly, he was almost hit by his father. Fortunately, he was quick to react and intercepted the wooden stick in a moment. He swung the wooden stick away and whispered, "Dad, don't hit me."

When Lao Du heard that it was his son, he was relieved and put down the stick in his hand.

It turned out that Father Du, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly heard a thumping sound coming from the yard outside, so he opened his eyes alertly, then got out of bed gently, picked up the arm-thick wooden stick that had been placed beside the bed, opened the door quietly, and then he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Then he saw a dark shadow jumping from the wall into his yard, so he swung the wooden stick in his hand and hit the dark shadow. If he really hit Du Wei with this stick, it would be estimated that his arms and legs would be broken. If it happened to hit the head, he might even lose his life. After all, he used to be a bodyguard and had some skills. Fortunately, Du Wei acted quickly.

"Say, what are you doing in the middle of the night without calling anyone? What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to scare your father to death?" Father Du rolled his eyes at Du Wei, but of course, it was useless for him to do so, as Du Wei couldn't see it in the dark.

"I just saw that you all fell asleep, so I didn't want to wake you up!" Du Wei scratched his head and replied with a guilty conscience.

"Yeah! You don't want to wake us up, but you want to scare us to death." Lao Du sneered.

"Hehe, that... Dad, you see it's a little cold outside. Why don't we go inside..." Du Wei stepped forward to support Lao Du's arm. He didn't expect that he had clearly made his movements light, but still woke up his father, and felt a little guilty. 

"Go away, I can go in and out of this room with my eyes closed, so I don't need your help. You! You'd better clean yourself up before going into the house! Don't scare your wife when the time comes." In the faint moonlight, Lao Du saw Du Wei's sloppy appearance and knew that he had not taken care of himself at all, so he hurried back.

Lao Du was also young once and knew why his son did this, so he said in a somewhat dirty way.

"Dad, it won't take that long. I'll take care of it after I help you into the house."

It was so dark, how could Du Wei let his father go into the house alone? If he accidentally bumped into something, he would regret it.

Although Lao Du said no, he was still very touched by his son's filial piety. After he sat on the edge of the bed, he waved his hand to let his son leave. However, when Du Wei was about to close the door and leave, Lao Du said, "Zihao is sleeping in your room. Your wife has been worried about you for a while, and you can't eat or sleep well."

"Dad, I know." After hearing what his father said, Du Wei felt very sorry for Li Suniang.

After seeing the door closed, Lao Du could finally lie on the bed and sleep with peace of mind.

Although he comforted Li Suniang and told her not to worry about Du Wei, he himself was worried and couldn't sleep well.

After Du Wei walked out of his father's room, he first went to the yard to pick up the bag of things and then prepared to go to his own room. He stopped after taking two steps. He remembered his father's words mocking him, so he turned around and went to the kitchen first. He boiled water and cleaned himself up before returning to his room.

Du Wei stood in front of the room and pushed the door that was locked by his wife from the inside. He opened his mouth several times but didn't call for help.

Finally, he took out something and carefully pushed it into the crack of the door little by little. Then he kept moving his hands and stopped to push the door from time to time.

Li Suniang, who hadn't slept well for several nights, went to bed early tonight, otherwise she wouldn't have missed the movements of Lao Du and his son outside.

But when she was half asleep, she heard a rustling sound. She suddenly opened her eyes and listened carefully again.

This scared her and she became nervous all over. She looked at the sleeping Zihao beside her and all kinds of messy things emerged in her mind. Then she shook her head and quickly concentrated herself.

Li Suniang got off the bed with a tense heart. She thought about the things in the room that could be used for protection. Finally, she touched a stick that was ready to be used as a rolling pin.

She swallowed her saliva, walked to the door quietly, raised her hands holding the stick high, and waited for the moment when the door was opened. At this time, she estimated that her heartbeat was at least more than 100.

Du Wei, who was outside the door, didn't know that he had scared his wife, and at this moment, his wife regarded him as a bad guy and was ready to beat him to death.

"Hu..." Looking at the door that could be opened, Du Wei exhaled deeply, put away the things in his hands, and picked up the bag beside him.

He pushed the door open carefully, but he had just put one foot in, and his head hadn't even entered yet when he heard the sound of a stick swinging from top to bottom, which frightened him so much that he immediately retracted his foot and quickly closed the door.

Li Suniang inside saw that her stick had been missed and couldn't help but blame herself for being too quick. This time, the thief outside was startled. Seeing that the door was closed by the thief, she didn't care and stood against the door, ready to open her mouth to call for help.

At this moment, she heard the thief outside whispering, "Wife, open the door, it's me, I'm back."
