My mother-in-law is particularly biased towards men and despises women.
I've been married to my husband for three years, pregnant eight times, and had eight abortions.
Every time I got pregnant, the midwife in the village would touch my belly.
Once the midwife thought I was pregnant with a girl, my mother-in-law would give me abortion pills.
Just after the abortion, my mother-in-law would make me drink a fertility potion, with all kinds of disgusting ingredients poured into my mouth.
After half a month, I got pregnant again.
Every day, my mother-in-law would lift my clothes and expose my belly to touch it.
"Your belly is pointed, you must be pregnant with a boy!"
Sometimes, when my mother-in-law was happy, she would lean in and kiss my belly a couple of times: "Good grandson, come out quickly, let grandma hug and kiss you, grandma bought you a big pair of silver bracelets."
While my mother-in-law was happy, I was extremely worried.
I was worried this pregnancy was a girl...
The next day, my mother-in-law took me to the hospital for a check-up.
When the doctor handed me the report, with a serious face, he said that I was pregnant with a pair of twins and that the genetic material of the fetus contained an extra Y chromosome, indicating a rebellious personality from birth.
The doctor also said that my body was very weak, and since it was twins this time, she recommended eliminating one fetus.
My mother-in-law got angry on the spot, rolled up her sleeves and slapped the doctor, shouting, "The probability of conceiving twins is higher. How dare you suggest abortion? Are you trying to make our Wang family extinct?"
My father-in-law also shouted, "My Wang family's child has a rebellious personality, this is a good thing, it means he will be a child king, someone who can fight and has a leadership style!"
After conceiving twins, I kept vomiting uncomfortably.
My mother-in-law found all kinds of random medicines and forced me to drink them, saying it would help her precious grandson grow stronger.
She pampered her grandson.
But she was unusually strict with me, even though my belly was so big I couldn't see my toes, she still made me work in the fields.
She said pregnant women should work more to aid in quick delivery.
One day, while I was watering the chili plants, my stomach suddenly cramped, and amniotic fluid began to flow.
"I'm about to give birth, hurry and take Xiao Mei back home, my precious grandson is about to be born!"
My mother-in-law urgently called my husband and dragged me back home.
She didn't take me to the hospital.
Instead, she called the midwife from the village to deliver the baby.
My mother-in-law said Chen the midwife had delivered hundreds of boys and that her hands were specially blessed to deliver boys.
At that moment, I was lying on the kang.
Cold sweat soaked my back, I felt my belly twisting with every contraction, as if it could burst at any moment.
The midwife had my mother-in-law prepare hot water and scissors, then began to deliver the baby. A smile of excitement appeared on her face: "I've touched it, I've touched the baby's head!"
My mother-in-law was delighted, patting my thighs vigorously: "Bend your legs, put in some effort, don't hurt my grandson!"
The intense pain almost made me pass out.
"Waa—"
The baby's sharp cry rang out.
Finally, I gave birth to the first child.
But my mother-in-law let out a shrill scream: "How is this a girl?"
The midwife washed her hands in the basin and said, "Wang Zhu's mother, it's supposed to be twins, the one inside must be your grandson."
"This despicable girl, how dare she be born in front of my grandson, I'll kill her!"
My mother-in-law was furious, holding the baby girl's hand high and then fiercely threw her down.
A dull thud followed.
The baby girl, who had just been crying, suddenly fell silent.
"My baby!"
I widened my eyes, trying to support my body but saw a small baby lying on the ground.
There was blood everywhere around her...
"My baby!"
The immense pain made me scream in anguish.
My child, she had just entered the world, hadn't even opened her eyes to see it, and yet in a tragic and terrifying way, she left me!
I was devastated, trying to get off the kang to hold my poor child.
But my mother-in-law abruptly pressed down on my shoulder, looking at me with anger: "I told you to lie still, don't disturb my grandson, don't you understand human speech?"
"You... you killed my child, you..."
I wanted to resist, but the midwife continued to deliver the baby with her rough hands.
The pain made me contort all over.
My mother-in-law, impatient, slapped me hard in the face: "Push harder, quickly give birth to my precious grandson!"
"Waa—"The second child was born, but the crying sound was as thin as a cat's.
All my strength was drained, I couldn't even open my eyes to speak.
But the next moment, my mother-in-law froze me.
She clenched her fist and punched my stomach, gritting her teeth: "Damn it, you gave me another worthless one!"
