Chapter 611: Chapter 603: Unable to Give Birth Chapter 611: Chapter 603: Unable to Give Birth Tang Yuxin, wearing a blank expression, placed the food on the table.
At this point, the old Song man didn’t think about anything.
He didn’t have the strength to do so.
Every day, apart from the pain in his leg, was haunted by continuous nightmares.
His body was suffering, and his spirit was being crushed.
Once a lean old man with vitality, although not exactly youthful, he could keep up with younger guys in terms of work.
Evidently, he was as disgusting as the good-for-nothing loafers in the village.
...
Now, he barely managed a hog’s life.
All he did was eat, sleep, defecate, and urinate, all in one place.
As a lump of flesh, no one was sure whether it could be butchered and sold for a bit of money during New Year’s.
Tang Yuxin felt that if it were possible to fatten and sell him like a pig, she believed that the old Song woman, without a second thought, would sell the old Song man.
At this moment, TangYuxin was merely in charge of delivering food to the old Song man.
As for cleaning and hygiene, it had nothing to do with her.
Even if the old Song man was filthy to death, it was his problem.
As for the old Song woman, she complained about the stench in the house anyway.
As long as the old Song man didn’t die immediately, even if he died, it didn’t matter.
They could just dig a hole and bury him.
After all, the old Song woman had spent a lifetime with the old Song man.
She was beaten by him for a lifetime.
Now that the old Song man was crippled, she became the head woman of the house.
Previously, she had thought that she couldn’t live without the old Song man.
However, now, she felt that without the old Song man, her life would be better.
As for the old Song man, at first, he cursed every day, wanting to go to a big hospital to treat his leg.
No matter how he cursed, smashed things, or created a fuss, no one paid any attention to him.
Eventually, he became listless, lying there half alive, just like a dying man.
The thing that people fear the most, is this.
When even the person himself doesn’t see himself as human, then who in the world would still consider him a person?
Tang Yuxin was fetching water from a neighbour’s well.
Being such a woman, obedient and silent, she had no presence.
From the very beginning, all sorts of people would crowd around to watch her.
But now, it seemed like she had become an invisible presence in the village.
Tang Yuxin looked up at the high sun and knew why the old Song woman was irate.
Right now, the old Song woman had not yet woken up.
When the old Song man was around, she had to maintain some decorum.
Now that the old Song man was bed-ridden, she truly felt a sense of accomplishment from taking control of the household.
Anyway, there was still a woman in the house who could do all the work like a beast of burden, a servant.
The old Song woman finally became the mistress after years of being a wife.
From now on, she could do as she pleased; no one could tell her what to do.
So, she woke up later and later in the mornings.
She was enjoying her sleep only to be woken by someone’s screams.
Regardless of who it was, wouldn’t the person be annoyed to be dragged from a beautiful dream?
What happened?
The old Song woman glared, causing the man to feel awkward for a long time.
However, nothing else mattered at this point.
A life was at stake.
“Auntie, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family is giving birth,” the man anxiously repeated.
“What does the birth of the Sun family’s daughter-in-law have to do with me?”
At the mention of the Sun family, the old Song woman looked even more displeased.
Everyone in the village knew that she didn’t get along with the Sun family.
They were enemies, barely acknowledging each other’s existence.
Why should the Sun family notify her about their daughter-in-law giving birth?
“No, Auntie,” the man said urgently, clutching his hair.
“The Sun family’s daughter-in-law has been in labor for a day and a night, but the baby hasn’t come out yet.
Please go and take a look.
After all, this involves two lives.
We are all fellow villagers, living in the same village.
No matter how big the grudge is, it can’t be more important than a person’s life, right?”
“Not giving birth, what a retribution,” the old Song woman said, looking relieved.
Her mood much improved.
Everyone does derive joy from the pain of others, especially enemies.
The worse the enemy is faring, the more satisfied one feels.
“Auntie, let’s go there first?”
The man pulled the old Song woman towards him.
The old Song woman did not refuse.
In this village, there were few people who knew how to deliver babies, and she was one of the best midwives in the village.
