Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The doctor who delivered the baby was stunned. He had seen disabled children over the years, but he had never seen one like this one. Everything else about this child was normal except that he had two heads, one big and one small. The big one had handsome facial features, but the appearance of the smaller one on the left was hard to describe.

Qin Huairu was filled with bitterness. God really loved to play tricks on people. If she had known this would happen, she should have aborted the child when she was pregnant.

Jia Zhang had a blank expression on her face, but she was actually very happy in her heart. She really didn't expect that Qin Huairu would give birth to a "monster". She was worried that Qin Huairu would treat Banggeng badly in the future, but now she is completely relieved. Qin Huairu will still have to rely on Banggeng in the future. This "monster" child will not be able to marry even when he grows up, and may not be able to survive. Naturally, he will not be able to provide for Qin Huairu in her old age. Presumably, Qin Huairu will focus on Banggeng in the future.

"Mom, what should I do?"

Looking at the child beside her, Qin Huairu, with her eyes red from crying, asked with a sob.

"Hey, Huairu, just take care of it first."

Jia Zhang pretended to be very sad and comforted Qin Huairu insincerely. She couldn't say anything else in front of the doctor.

"Yes, Comrade Qin Huairu, please don't let it get to your head."

No matter what, this is also a little life. Since it has been born, you have to keep it even if you don't want to. Unless you find an opportunity to abandon the child after you are discharged from the hospital.

After Qin Huairu was transferred to the ordinary delivery room, the doctors and nurses left. The family members were already in a bad mood, and having them here was like watching monkeys, which further affected the mood of the mother.

"Huai Ru, why don't you give this child..."

After the doctor and the nurse left, Jia Zhang gestured with her hands and said tentatively.

"Mom, you do it."

As she said this, Qin Huairu was about to hand the "child" to Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu was also thinking about getting rid of this monster. If she took it home, it would spread throughout Nanluoguxiang in less than half a day, and who knows what rumors would be spread by then.

By then, the threshold of her house would probably be trampled down just to see this strange child.

"No, no, no, I can't do that. I'll go to jail. I'm sick and can't work. I'll die in the labor camp. I can't die yet. I want to see Banggeng grow up, get married and have children."

Jia Zhang kept waving her hands. She was not stupid. It would be easy to deal with this monster before it was born, but after it was born, if she took action again, it would be a crime and she would have to go to jail.

Qin Huairu put the child next to her again, looked down at the child, and tears flowed again.

"Huai Ru, why don't you do it yourself? As his mother, you gave him life, so it's reasonable for you to take his life with your own hands."

"Mom, if you can't go in, can I go in? If I go in, can you go to work and support the three Bangteng siblings?"

"Huai Ru, I'm sick, how can I go to work?"

"Then why are you still making sarcastic remarks?"

"Let's think about it again. Let's think about it again."

Jia Zhang felt embarrassed. She also understood that if Qin Huairu went to jail, there would be no one to earn money to support the family, and her good days would be over.

After staying in the hospital for three days, the child was in good health in all aspects and was no different from other children, so Qin Huairu was able to be discharged from the hospital.

On the day of discharge, the doctor told her to bring her child to the hospital once a week for a comprehensive check-up. At the same time, their hospital would contact some well-known hospitals in the world to discuss the feasibility of removing the adjacent head.

After hearing what the doctor said, Qin Huairu gave up. If she abandoned her son or killed him, she would not be able to escape legal punishment.

She also thought about sending the child directly to the hospital, and letting the parents study it if they wanted. But the hospital refused to accept the child.

After sending the child to the hospital to no avail, Qin Huairu had no choice but to wrap the child tightly and take him home.

After returning home, the neighbors in the compound all wanted to see what the child looked like, but Qin Huairu refused with various reasons. In Qin Huairu's words, let's keep it a secret for as long as possible.

"Qin Huairu, I hate you. You gave birth to a monster."

"Bang Geng, how can you talk like that? You have no respect for your elders."

"Humph, you're still blaming me. I told you to hit me but you didn't. Now look what happened. I gave birth to a monster. How am I going to go to school in the future? People will look down on me."

Bang Geng cried very sadly. He had already been ridiculed because of Qin Huairu's pregnancy. Now he had a monster brother. Bang Geng didn't know how he would go to school in the future.

Jia Zhang urged anxiously, "Bang Geng, keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense outside."

"Humph, I'm ignoring you guys."

Having said that, the boy Banggeng ran out crying.

"Huai Ru, what should we do?"

Jia Zhang was also worried. How long could this matter be kept secret? Sooner or later, people would know about it. Even if they didn't tell others, those people in the hospital would spread the news.

When that happens, the scene will be scary just to think about.

Who wouldn’t want to see a child with two heads?

"Huai Ru, we can't hide it anymore, why don't we take this opportunity to make some money."

Jia Zhang's triangular eyes rolled around.

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"We should take the initiative to spread the word. Anyone who wants to see the child with two heads needs to pay a visit fee first. It's fifty cents per visit. No, one dollar per visit. Huairu, think about how many people there are in Beijing. Our family is rich."

Jia Zhang was dancing with excitement. She now found the child much more pleasing to her eyes and even saw a different kind of beauty in him.

"you dare."

Qin Huairu's eyes were red with anger. She could never have imagined that Jia Zhang would actually have such an idea. Is this something a human would do?

Besides, this is a child, you can't treat him as a monkey.

"Huai Ru, think about it carefully. From now on, we won't be short of money. You can also resign from the steel mill directly. You don't have to look at the face of that damn Director Li anymore. The three brothers and sisters of Bang Geng will not have to worry about food and drink in the future. This is killing two birds with one stone."

It is rare for Jia Zhang to utter an idiom.

"Mom, let me make it clear to you first. If you dare to do this when I'm not at home, both of us will go to hell together."

"Huai Ru, I understand that you can't come to your senses right away. Think about it carefully. I'm going to go out and look for Bang Geng."

"Don't even think about it. If you want to live a few more years, you'd better give up this idea. I'm not kidding you."

"Huai Ru, Mom believes you can think it through."

"Get out, get out of here."

Qin Huairu yelled and threw the pillow at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang was not angry. She put the pillow on the table and turned to leave.
