Chapter 1001: Even a tiger will not eat its cubs.
Xiaoyu and the doctor picked up firewood and cooked, basically just boiling some water in a pot to make corn porridge to go with the dry food they brought.
Suddenly, they heard someone in the village cursing loudly.
The sound was loud, in the quiet darkness of the mountain village, it seemed like a thunderbolt alerting everyone.
Bai Xiao and the doctor came out to see what was happening.
In this pitch-black night, something that brought everyone out was indeed a big event.
Someone was holding a torch, things like flashlights are luxuries that ordinary families don’t have. Although electricity has been connected here, every household saves money by relying on the light from burning firewood inside the house at night. People tidy up after dinner and go to bed, with basically no entertainment activities, because entertainment would cost money.
The people here won’t spend money if they can avoid it, simply because they don’t have money to spend.
Xiaoyu seemed like a professional interpreter, watching the commotion while translating in Bai Xiao’s ear.
"Weng Jiefang, you can’t do this, Bai Na just gave birth to a child, and you want to throw the child away. That’s your own son, how can you be so cruel? If Bai Na finds out, aren’t you risking her life?" A scrawny, wrinkled old lady desperately hugged Weng Jiefang’s arm, protecting the swaddled child in Weng Jiefang’s arms.
That child was already wrapped up tightly, and the sound of a child’s sobbing, like a kitten, made Bai Xiao’s heart sink.
This child doesn’t seem well!
"Let go of me, this child is as weak as a chick, can’t even cry, clearly not in good condition. Instead of burdening the family, it’s better to leave him on the mountain, isn’t that what people in our village do? Bai Na can still have children after recovering." Weng Jiefang was clearly indifferent, numb, and cold-blooded.
