Three Women in the Cage

Yang Yu was asked to stay for a few more days because his parents were reluctant to part with their grandson. After all, they had been together for so long, they had gotten used to the couple and had developed feelings for him.

That day, Yang Yu suddenly felt unwell and vomited. Based on her previous experience, she immediately became alert.

Returning to the bedroom, she sat on the edge of the bed and carefully calculated the time and the duration of her menstrual period.

Oh no, it just happened to be a collision, and her heart skipped a beat.

Now my relationship with Zhang Erfa is at a standstill. We already have two children and I cannot take care of them on a regular basis.

She had always been a bother to her parents, and now in this situation, she was at a loss as to whether to take the child back or what to do.

But she also wanted to take a gamble, what if this was a son? Then in the eyes of Zhang Erfa and the two old men, would they take a second look at her two daughters?

Could you help yourself a little more and stop ignoring it?

She felt panicky because she wanted to prove that she could give birth to a son and carry on the Zhang family's bloodline.

She had no choice. Born in that era, everyone valued sons, and she also wanted to be valued. Whether it was vanity or just to prove herself, her inner desire to have a son grew stronger and stronger.

Yang Yu still told her idea to her parents, and her mother expressed her support for her idea after listening.

"Since ancient times, every woman has been destined to give birth to a son to carry on the family line. Without a son, she will not only be despised by her in-laws, but also by her neighbors."

"You already have two daughters, so you should have a son. If nothing else, you should have someone to take care of you in your old age."

After saying that, Yang's mother sighed with some worry.

"I'm just worried about you... What if you give birth to another daughter? I heard that family planning is being implemented again. Your father was recently elected as the village captain, and the higher-ups have just issued a policy that no family can have more than three children."

"Now that you're pregnant, are you going to be targeted? The policy that's just been issued is to pull someone out to establish authority. Aren't you just walking into the trap?" Yang's mother said with increasing worry.

Yang Yu suddenly became a little nervous. She thought about it carefully. The wives in the village who were older than her all gave birth to sons when they had their second child. Currently, only her second child was a daughter, so she was the only one betting on whether the third child could be a son.

She didn't expect that such an urgent policy would be stuck here. Didn't it leave her with any hope or expectation?

"Your belly can't be seen yet, so we can hide it. Once the baby is born, they won't be able to do anything about it. It's best not to let them find out, otherwise they will forcibly take you to the county hospital for an abortion." Yang's mother said worriedly.

"You should leave the two children with us first and give birth to them with peace of mind. I'm afraid that if you take them back, you won't be able to take care of them. It will be a pity for the children!" Mother Yang was still worried.

Yang Yu still couldn't take the two children away. Thinking about it, Huanhuan had been left here for almost a year, and Yaya was left here when she was less than one year old.

My eyes were red and my heart was aching. I felt sorry for my child and my parents.

Huanhuan cried again, this time she cried loudly, hugging her mother's neck and refusing to let go, because she felt that her mother might not take her home.

Because when she came, her mother told her that they were coming to take her and her sister back home. She was happy for a long time about this. She had been accompanying her grandparents and uncle these days because she couldn't bear to leave them, thinking that it would be difficult to see them again after she went back.

I finally said goodbye to them, but when it was time to leave, my mother kept me. She had already made preparations.

The first time my mother left me here, she said she would come pick me up soon. But every time I had to wait a long time, she would come to see me, and then she would leave again, never taking me with her.

She told herself that her mother was busy and she couldn't disturb her, so she obeyed.

But this time, it was my mother who said she would take me and my sister back, but when she left, she still left them behind.

She hasn't been home for a long time and she wants to be with her mother.

"Hanhuan, be good. Mom will come to pick you and your sister up later. Keep your word, okay?" Yang Yu could only comfort her like this.

"I don't want to. Mom always takes a long time to come and forgets to take Huanhuan away."

In the end, Yang Yi picked up Huanhuan and walked out, leaving behind Yang's mother holding Yaya and Yang's father standing by.

Yaya could always sense her mother's sadness. Looking at her mother, she burst into tears and called out "Mom" from time to time.

Yang Yu walked back in a daze, recalling the scene of their separation and wiping away tears.

She seemed to be in high spirits every time she came, but heartbroken every time she left.

Caressing the baby in her belly, Yang Yu prayed in her heart that God must give her a son this time.

When he got home, Zhang Erfa was unexpectedly there. Looking at Yang Yu, who was distraught and had red and swollen eyes, he said with disgust.

"You've been gone for several days. What have you been doing? You always try to disappear. If you really disappear one day, don't blame me for not looking for you."

Yang Yu looked up at him. "Where have I been? Don't you know you have two daughters?"

"Have you ever cared about me since I've been away from home for so long?" Yang Yu asked.

Zhang Erfa really only cares about himself every day. Recently, he has been helping his mother with the autumn harvest and the fourth child's wedding. In addition, he has not seen his two children for a while, so he seems to have really forgotten the existence of his two daughters.

But he also felt no guilt. "Two little girls, what's there to worry about? Besides, aren't you taking care of them?"

Yang Yu felt distressed when she listened to his little girl's words. She felt sorry for the two children who were born without the love of their father and grandparents.

So she had to give birth to a son, who would be her support in the future and also the support of her two daughters.

But she was not going to tell Zhang Erfa this now, for she was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

She was also afraid that Zhang Erfa would let the cat out of the bag and be heard by someone with ulterior motives, which would lead to the investigation of family planning officials.

She quietly took care of the baby.

Half a month has passed.

That day, Zhang Erfa suddenly came to Yang Yu to ask for eggs, saying that the third and fourth daughters-in-law were pregnant one after another. It was probably Zhang's mother who instigated Zhang Erfa to take his own eggs to support his younger brothers.

Ever since he raised a few poultry and often sold them at the market, Zhang's mother saw them and started to worry about his eggs.

Even when Yang Yu was pregnant, she was still reluctant to eat eggs and insisted on selling them for money. Only money could make her feel safe.

But now they are setting their sights on me again.

Yang Yu was unwilling to take it out, and later it was secretly stolen by Zhang Erfa.

The two old guys meant to put their grandson first. They were counting on their two daughters-in-law to expand the Zhang family, but they had to pay for it themselves.
