In the past 1960s, the old idea of "preferring boys over girls" in rural areas was very important. The elderly in rural areas believed that only boys were the pillars of the family and could inherit the family's incense.
Therefore, rural families are honored to have a boy, and they should set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate. However, when giving birth to a girl, there are few such treatments, because girls will sooner or later marry and become someone else's family.
When I was young, my grandmother didn't like me. Every time I saw me, she would say, "A stinky girl movie, I know how to eat every day, so I can go to work quickly."
I heard from my mother that she had just given birth to a girl, and that my grandmother wanted to give me away. Fortunately, my mother insisted on not allowing her to give her away, so my grandmother gave up.
Later my mother gave birth to a younger brother again. Since I remembered, I have seen that every time my grandma would take good things for her younger brother to eat, and I could only stand and watch.
If I want to eat it, my grandma's loudspeaker was pulled up again. What should I eat for a stinky girl? Can a person who loses money? Get out of here.
So as long as there is some work at home, my grandma will ask me to do it. Sometimes when my aunt comes to see this, she will say that my grandma.
Once, my aunt came, and she took two pieces of candy and was seen by my grandmother. I was scolded again, even my aunt was no exception.
Because this time my aunt talked for me, what's wrong with the girl? I'm not a human being, too, I know you are a boy over a girl, but you are too much for the child to be so young.
This is something I bought. I will give you whatever I like to eat. Grandma was so angry that she cursed because this time, my aunt rarely came.
Sometimes my aunt would wait for me on my way from school, stuff me some delicious food, and let me go home after eating.
Because of my family, I was not welcomed by my girl, so I didn’t go to school anymore and went out to work early. At the beginning, I didn’t understand and worked in the food factory with me for several years.
I feel very comfortable leaving this prejudiced family. Although my mother protects me, she can’t stand the family. Besides, I have a younger brother again, and my mother is in a difficult situation. Now that I’m out, I’m free. No one often tells me that I’m a money-losing guy, and now I earn some money and eat whatever I want.
Later, every year during the Spring Festival, I would go back and buy some things for everyone. My grandma didn’t care about it when she saw me. Such a grandma felt abnormal. She often talked about me and stopped talking about me at once. It was indeed a bit abnormal.
Although I didn’t like grandma before, when I got home, I still had to buy some things my grandma liked to eat. When I saw the old man laughing, I felt mixed feelings.
Later, my grandmother passed away, and I couldn't cry. My brother also asked me, "Sister, why don't you cry?"
Yes, why don’t I cry? Because I can’t cry. Maybe it’s because my grandmother doesn’t like her since I was a child, so I don’t have too much feelings!
In fact, there is an important reason for preferring boys over girls in our rural areas. Their deep-rooted ideas and concepts of inheriting family traditions. In the hearts of rural people, only boys can pass on their family traditions.
So in order to continue their incense, they often have to give birth to a boy at all costs, otherwise they will be considered a manifestation of unfilial piety.
