Chapter 2256: Chapter 1895: Birds Building Their Nest (2)
Only Yunyun, being the one involved, truly worries about her own blood connection, her heart full of anxiety at this moment.
Then she sees Daoist Qingyun gently stroke his slightly damp beard:
"Dear believer, although you did not grow up in this mountain, you must have seen many birds building nests, I presume."
Yunyun is taken aback and then nods.
The mountain where she was born was far more remote and barren than here. A girl as soon as she turned sixteen could easily be taken away just by riding a motorcycle.
As the eldest sister, originally, her siblings were all her responsibility.
To her shame, she originally wanted to take everyone out of that environment, but later she discovered that no matter how bitter or tiring it was, what one can do is still limited.
When she was at home, she tried hard to get her sisters noticed by the local women’s federation so they could attend school. After she left home, there was someone like Yun Duo who managed to escape, whom she secretly supported, and some others...
Overall, according to local tradition, once married, they belong to someone else’s family; therefore, when she inquired at the women’s federation, even if her parents knew, they would neither make trouble nor dare to find fault, at most they would lament all were raised in vain.
Now, she only thinks of her siblings growing up, hoping if they succeed, they would study outside for a few more years and see the world.
Ah, it’s been so long without mentioning home; now, recalling it suddenly, my thoughts unexpectedly won’t stop.
Looking again at Daoist Qingyun, Yunyun nods emphatically with embarrassment: "Indeed, I’ve seen it."
Every kind of bird builds its nest differently. But what does this have to do with her having children?
She hears Daoist Qingyun says: "All beings have spirits, even birds. If they want to lay eggs and hatch them, it is not enough to simply select a suitable male bird, they must work together to build a sturdy nest."
"Adding some fluff and broken feathers, to guard against the cold and rain, and selecting the time when spring and summer’s insects and fruits are abundant, for fear the children might be born hungry..."
"Let me ask you, although you and your husband have started a family early, at the time you were poor, with little income. Although there’s no worry about food and drink daily, there was also no sight of shelter for the future child. Is that not so?"
Yunyun is suddenly speechless.
She has suffered a lot, and truly does not want to suffer even a little more, nor does she want to work. Especially fieldwork, which makes her weary and resentful.
Therefore, even though the man at home had two wives before her, as long as he was not a bad person, she married him at such a young age.
After getting married, she can’t say it’s not going well.
No worries about food and drink, she roams around with her mobile phone, livestreaming and playing cards. Every month, the husband works outside, sometimes earning a few dozen, sometimes a few thousand; there’s always money to be had.
Both inside and outside the home, she has the decision-making power over major matters. Even her support for her sisters is not questioned by her husband.
Life is smooth like this, but it’s been over two years since marriage, how come there are still no children?
They’ve been to the city’s hospital, Doctor Xiaoguo looked at it too, all said there’s no big problem, just relax.
If medicine had to be prescribed, they were merely micronutrient supplements and the like.
She reflects on the past two plus years, at this moment vaguely replied:
"Daoist Master’s words are wise, only this matter regarding my child..."
Daoist Qingyun smiles without speaking.
On the side, Daoist Wuwei explains:
"Dear believer, do you still not understand? Birds make good nests, prepare abundant food, and ensure a more suitable environment and weather for young birds to grow, then they will lay eggs and hatch them with peace of mind. Humans are similar in this nature."
"You haven’t had a pregnancy these years, could it be that everything was ready?"
Yunyun remains silent.
No.
Nothing is ready.
As stated before, there’s no worry about food and drink, even daily sustenance. The money her husband earns, whether more or less, is under her control.
Having a child, they could surely afford to raise them.
But that’s all there is.
When the child grows up, he might be like many young people in the village, barely making it to high school, if studies can’t catch up, then leave to work, then return home empty-handed in middle age.
Not able to do farm work, reluctant to live unsettled like migrant workers, life seems to have a foreseeable end.
If she had given birth in these past two years, the child’s future would likely be just like this.
The man behind her is more anxious than her; after all, he is older and especially anticipates having a child at home, boy or girl will do!
But there must be one.
"What, what conditions are needed? Is it about money? Then I will do more odd jobs next time..." Lao Song’s family welcomes him doing odd jobs so diligently.
"Are you risking your life?" Yunyun turns her head and scolds him softly, "There’s enough earthworms at home to keep you busy; don’t even think about odd jobs."
