Chapter 807: Preferring Boys Over Girls

There were many families in Foshan Village who chose to save the children and not their mothers. Some people were even worse. No matter how hard and tiring it was for a pregnant mother, she still had to take care of the entire family's daily needs and also to work in the fields. Otherwise, she would get beaten and scolded. These people had the idea that as long as the child was fine, nothing else was important.

Hearing this, Li Gui became quite emotional. It was still fine when she was pregnant with Qiao Mei and she did not suffer. However, giving birth to the four children in the Zhang family weakened her a lot. These children were two years apart in age from one another. Basically, for eight years, she went through a non-stop cycle of confinement, pregnancy and giving birth. Actually, she did not even go through confinement. Once she gave birth, she had to do housework, including using cold water when washing up.

She had many illnesses which arose from that time.
