Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Mrs. Zhang's face became more and more ugly. After all, the Zhang family was a well-known family in the surrounding villages. If others knew that they made their pregnant daughter-in-law work in the fields, and even ignored her when she had a miscarriage, what would others think of them?

Mrs. Zhang really didn't want to bother with Su Tong, but when she thought about her daughter who hadn't married yet, she could only bite the bullet and said, "Don't shout, I'll ask someone to get a doctor for you later. Don't work during this period, just stay on the kang and take care of the baby."

This was exactly the effect Su Tong wanted. Looking at Zhang Laosan who was still silent, Su Tong didn't even glance at him. He thought to himself that if the baby in her belly was a boy, he would just keep the son and kill the father.

If it weren't for his youngest daughter's reputation, Zhang Pengzi would not have been willing to spend money to hire a doctor for his daughter-in-law, but no matter what, he still asked someone to invite a country doctor back.

While no one was paying attention, Su Tong quietly slipped a few copper coins into the country doctor's hand, and then lowered his voice.

"Doctor, when you leave later, just tell them that I have a miscarriage and I can't even keep the baby. I have to stay in bed to rest. Otherwise, if I miscarry the baby, I won't be able to have children again. Just tell them how serious it is..."

When the country doctor heard this, he immediately understood what it meant. He guessed that the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law were not getting along. However, this daughter-in-law was really smart and could actually think of such a solution.

People in ancient times regarded the inheritance of offspring as a very important matter. No matter how vicious the old woman was, she would not allow her son to be childless. So no matter how indignant she was, she would probably let her daughter-in-law stay in bed and rest.

After the doctor took the money, he left and repeated what he had just said.

"Pregnant women have been overworked during this period, and since this is their first pregnancy, their bodies are exhausted. If they don't take good care of themselves, not only will their life span be affected, but they may even die.

Of course, the most important thing is that if the child is aborted, the pregnant woman will be deficient in Qi and blood, and will not be able to get pregnant again in the future, so the child must be saved. "

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect the matter to be so serious. She thought Su Tong was just pretending. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law was really unwell. She could only snort coldly.

"Then please ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine." Mrs. Zhang's eyes were twitching with heartache, and she thought that otherwise she would not give the money and let her daughter-in-law use the dowry money to pay for it herself.

The rural doctor sighed, "Alas, your daughter-in-law is in such a poor health that even if she takes medicine, it will probably cost her some expensive herbs. It's possible that a prescription will cost dozens of taels of silver. I think it's better to forget it and let the pregnant woman have a good rest."

In terms of giving money and letting people rest, the mother-in-law chose to let her daughter-in-law rest. At least rest doesn't cost money, so the rest of the work can only be done by the other daughters-in-law.

Su Tong lay on the bed, and in order to appear presentable, he had to howl a few times every day.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law were a little dissatisfied. Why did they have to do the housework even though they were daughters-in-law?

After Zhang Laosan learned that his wife was not in good health, he scratched his head and prepared to go to the town to find a job tomorrow to earn some money to buy medicine for his wife.

"Although all the money we earn has to be handed over, my father has already told us that men have to hand over 80% and women only have to hand over 50%. I'll make more money and I'll use it to buy medicine for you."

When Su Tong heard this, his brows relaxed. It seemed that this man was not completely useless. However, instead of staying at home and suffering their bullying, it would be better to let him go out and explore the world.

"Then go ahead, but be careful about your health and don't force yourself to work.

The doctor has told me that I just need to lie down. I will give birth soon and I need someone to take care of me. Please come back on time and don’t stay outside for too long.”

Zhang Laosan also knew that his mother was unreliable, so he nodded, packed up his things that night, and went to the town before dawn.

After Mrs. Zhang knew about this, her face relaxed. Since the busy farming season was over, many young men in the village went to the town to find work, but there was not so much work, and most of them returned empty-handed.

So no matter whether the third brother can find a job this time, at least the family doesn't have to worry about his food and accommodation, and they can save some food. The only thing that Mrs. Zhang can't stand is her daughter-in-law who lies in the house and just eats free meals all day long.

Su Tong's eyelids almost drooped as he looked at the soup that was becoming thinner and thinner. This Mrs. Zhang was really a piece of shit. She only gave the pregnant woman such a small amount of food and was not afraid that she would starve to death.

Su Tong would not let herself be wronged. She would sneak into the chicken coop at night when no one was paying attention, and then give herself a snack every night. If she was not afraid that eating chicken would attract other people's attention, she would have eaten all the dozens of chickens in the chicken coop long ago.

There is food in Su Tong's space, but she will never use the food in the space. She is determined to take advantage of Mrs. Zhang. She is determined to make Mrs. Zhang suffer a loss. In addition to getting eggs, Su Tong also often goes to the cellar to get food.

The food in the house was rationed, and the amount of food each person could eat every day was regulated. The only person who held the key to the cellar was Mrs. Zhang, who kept a very tight watch on it. But who was Su Tong? A small piece of wire could pry open all the locks.

Su Tong is now more than six months pregnant. Normally, a six-month pregnant belly would have been very big, but because the original owner worked frequently and ate very little, her belly was particularly small, which really looked like a sign of threatened miscarriage.

Su Tong supplements a lot of nutrition every day, and even drinks a glass of milk every day, trying to make himself plump and white.

The eldest and second sister-in-law work every day, but the youngest sister-in-law doesn't come to help. The two are so angry that their noses are crooked. They just hope that Su Tong will get better soon so that he can at least help them with the housework.

My eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have two sons and a daughter. The eldest daughter is 8 years old this year. Although she is the first grandchild in the family, because she is a girl, she has to learn to work at the age when she just learns to walk.

Although the sister-in-law felt sorry for her daughter, she was no match for her mother-in-law, and both mother and daughter worked hard all day long.

The second son's wife has a son and a daughter, but the younger daughter is only one year old this year and can't even walk steadily. She stays in her room every day. When Mrs. Zhang is in a good mood, she will help take care of her for a while, but when she is in a bad mood, she will just throw the child to the ground.

Zhang Laosan was learning a craft outside. After he finally finished his studies and became old, his parents started arranging for him to get married.

Zhang Laosi's wedding is scheduled for the 18th of next month. Originally, her parents wanted to set it for March or April, because since ancient times, March and April have been the lean period, when every household has no surplus food. It would be a good opportunity to marry their daughter off so that the family can save food.

Mrs. Zhang was not going to suffer such a loss and wanted to marry her daughter-in-law as soon as possible so that there would be one more person to work in the family. So after some bargaining, the marriage was finally settled.

The original owner really had the richest family background among these daughters-in-law. At least her dowry alone was comparable to that of most girls in the village. Logically, she could have married into a better family or at least married a scholar, but the original owner did not like scholars, so she chose Zhang Laosan, an honest and loyal man with a craft.
