Chapter 747: Righteous

Aunt Lin thought Xie Pinggang was a little strange today.

However, even though she was considered an elder, she could not help but feel nervous in front of Xie Pinggang. It was as if she had seen an official, and she did not dare to speak nonsense.

In the Qianyuan dynastys household register, there are fewer women than men. Aunt Lin, do you know why? Xie Pinggang asked again.

Lin Yaxiang sighed. Why else? The child might not have survived. From the moment she was born, there were obstacles everywhere. If she could survive one, she might not be able to survive another. Its not easy to survive until the day of registration.

Take our hometown as an example. In the same village, every family had to do some chores. The maidservant didnt have enough to eat and didnt dare to give birth to a child. During my fathers years as a doctor, he saw many families. When their daughter fell ill, they couldnt even bear to pay a few dozens of cash

Speaking up to this point, Lin Yaxiangs eyes were also somewhat sorrowful.

As her family had daughters, her father had been ridiculed countless times.

So what if she said that his medical skills were good? In the future, would she not have to pass it on to someone with another family name?

Then, when Aunt Lin delivered the baby, did you also drown the baby girl? Xie Pinggang asked casually.

Lin Yaxiang was shocked. I dont do that kind of immoral thing! But Im only a midwife. Im only in charge of delivering the baby, but Ive seen it before. The mother-in-law of the family drowned the baby. Even if I wanted to stop her, I couldnt

How could she stop her?

Should she rush to snatch the baby away?

The baby was not hers. If she really did that, she would have been reported at the administrative office and locked up. The crime of snatching the baby was not severe!

Sometimes she would try to persuade the family, but she would only receive a disdainful look from the other party at most.

Are you sure that your hands have never been stained with human lives? If someone else had done it, it naturally wouldnt be your fault, Xie Pinggang said in all seriousness.

I swear to God, if I, Lin Yaxiang, have ever harmed a babys life, I will die without a burial place! Lin Yaxiang was also very serious. Harming people aside, my father and I have saved many girls over the years!

Sometimes they were criticized for saving lives.

Then Im relieved. Xie Pinggang was much more polite now. Its good that you didnt harm anyone. I am an official in the criminal division. Recently, Ive been in charge of this case, so I have to ask you about it.

With that said, Lin Yaxiang came to a realization.

I know. Back then, I dared to come to your family to make amends because I was prepared. My father repeatedly ordered us to be obedient and not to cause trouble. If we were to be caught, it would implicate your family. Aunt Lin was quite understanding, she was not even angry.

I dare say that even though my family isnt that fortunate and kind, we would never do evil. If someone in the family had committed a mistake, they wouldnt have fallen into your hands. My father and I would have already dealt with them properly. We would never trouble others! Lin Yaxiang added.

Xie Pinggang really admired this woman.

She was an expert in handling a household.

It was a pity that this woman was Lin Erniangs sister. Otherwise, it would be great to get her to manage the Xie family.

Aunt is very righteous. I admire you. Xie Pinggang admitted defeat quickly.

Its nothing This is just the basic principle of life Lin Yaxiang was quite embarrassed. When she said that, she suddenly felt a little suspicious. Why didnt I see that kid, Pinghuai today? Did he practice martial arts?

Aunt is sensible, so Ill be frank about this matter. Xie Pinggang did not hide it and told Lin Yaxiang everything about Xie Pinghuai accepting gifts.

Lin Yaxiang was like Xie Pinghuais mother, she was responsible for teaching him, so he had to explain these things to her clearly..
