She cried desperately for a while, and even had the idea of committing suicide. However, thinking of her two young daughters, she still endured the sadness in her heart. With trembling hands, she put some eggshells and mucus in the basket and climbed with difficulty.
Get up and continue walking towards home.
She can't do anything right now, at least she has to raise her child.
What's more, she just asked Zhao Huanyu about opening up wasteland. As long as the wasteland is opened up and the medicinal materials are planted, the lives of the three of them will be promising.
She encouraged herself all the way and finally returned home.
I've been running around all day, and I just ate a bowl of noodles at my parents' house in the morning. Now I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back.
If the duck eggs had not been broken, she would have had the courage to find some food in the kitchen, but now that the task was not done and the duck eggs were broken, she was so panicked that she naturally did not dare to look for food again.
The two daughters hid in the house and kept listening to the noise outside. When they heard someone coming in, they knew it was their mother and hurriedly came out to greet them.
Normally, the Li family would all be asleep, but today, in order to wait for news about Yuan Hong'er, they were all sitting in the main room warming themselves by the fire. When they heard something moving in the yard, they all ran out to take a look.
"Ouch, third brother and sister, what did you do? Your clothes are all wet!"
Seeing her miserable appearance, the eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly came over to give her warmth, thinking that since she had been out for so long, she had come back, so things must have gone well.
Yuan Hong'er hid slightly and didn't let her help her. She just said, "The road was too difficult, so I accidentally fell."
As she said that, she looked at Li Dong cautiously. She wanted to see if he would be worried about her if she came back so late.
Unexpectedly, Li Dong didn't care at all whether she fell or not, and asked very impatiently: "How did the thing that mother told you to do go? That's your sister's niece. There shouldn't be any big problem if you come forward to talk about it, right?"
?”
Li Dong was a little anxious. He hoped more than anyone else that the marriage would go well so that he could have face in front of his parents, brother and sister-in-law.
But before Yuan Hong'er could answer, Mrs. Li saw the eggshells in the basket with sharp eyes, and she snatched the basket over without saying a word.
After looking carefully, he hit Yuan Hong'er with the basket hard and asked sternly: "What on earth is going on?"
Only then did the others discover the broken egg. They could guess the general situation just by looking at the posture, especially the eldest daughter-in-law, whose face changed instantly.
"Third brother and sister, what do you mean? I kindly asked you to bring some duck eggs to my family Daqiang to marry me. It's a good thing for you. The duck eggs were not sent out and were damaged. Do you really not want my family to be married from the bottom of your heart?
Daqiang is good!"
The second daughter-in-law also said angrily: "Oh, those are ten duck eggs. Our family is usually reluctant to eat them. How much can we sell for them if we take them to the town!"
Boss Li also said with a cold face: "Third brother and sister, if you don't want to help, just say so, but don't waste things like this!"
Li Dong didn't expect it to turn out like this, so he immediately grabbed his hand, pulled her over, and asked: "What's the matter with you? Why can't you handle such a small thing? You forgot what I told you.
Is that okay? As long as you handle this matter well, your family will not hold you accountable for not giving birth to a son, and they won’t make it difficult for you in the future! But look at what you are doing?"
On the surface, she was speaking for Yuan Honger, but in fact, she was doing it for herself. Yuan Honger had completely seen through this man today. When he said these words, her heart had already sunk to the bottom.
She took a deep breath and said: "I accidentally broke the duck eggs on the way back because I didn't send them out at all. Xiaoyu said that she was getting engaged, and after the first or two days of the New Year, the other party told her
Her family has already negotiated it."
"Crack!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li slapped her across the face. Zhaodi and Pandi were startled, and hurriedly stood in front of their mother, crying and shouting: "Grandma, don't hit my mother, my mother didn't mean to kill the duck eggs."
Broken!"
"Go away, two little bitches dare to stop me!"
Mrs. Li pulled one of them and pushed them far away, and then continued to beat Yuan Hong'er.
He cursed and said: "Since we haven't got engaged yet, then our family has a chance. You bitch clearly doesn't want to help Daqiang arrange the engagement, so you make so many excuses! You can also break a good duck egg, so it must be you
I ate it secretly on the road, but I had the nerve to say it was broken!"
"No, it's also possible that the Zhao family took the duck eggs from my Li family and ate them all, but gave us a bunch of shells back and said they didn't want to get married. This is taking our Li family as the main culprit!"
"You bitch, you always turn your elbows out! You don't even know who your family members are. You bitch must have teamed up with them to eat my duck eggs! You shameless bitch, look at me.
I won’t beat you to death today!”
…
Mrs. Li beat and scolded her in an extremely unpleasant way. Yuan Hong'er would hide at first, but she was too tired and had no strength left to struggle.
She heard the accusations and abuses from her family, as well as the anxious cries of her two daughters. She felt that she had really tried her best that day.
She wants to be a good person and doesn't want to join the Li family, but it's really difficult to do so. No one believes what she says, and they even throw dirty water on her.
It's so difficult to live.
Her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and she could no longer feel Mrs. Li's slap on her body. She rolled her eyes and fell back, completely falling into darkness.
"Mother! Mother! Wake up, mother, oh, oh, oh, oh..."
The two little girls were lying next to her and crying, but Mrs. Li spat on her: "Bitch, you are so lazy every day, and you are pretending to be dead!"
Halfway through her words, Zhaodi suddenly shouted: "My mother is bleeding! Dad, help me, my mother is bleeding a lot..."
Only then did everyone realize that the snow under Yuan Hong'er's body had turned red. Judging from this position, it should be bleeding from her lower body.
Mrs. Li thought of something, but frowned and did not move.
Old Man Li felt that it was a bit unlucky to see this thing during the Chinese New Year, so he frowned and directed Li Dong: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you take your wife back to the house?"
The daughters-in-law of the first and second bedrooms were all experienced, so they naturally knew that Yuan Hong'er looked like she was probably having a miscarriage, but since the mother-in-law didn't say anything, they didn't need to say anything more, since they were not the ones who had the miscarriage anyway.
What's more, they are still angry because Yuan Hong'er broke the duck eggs, and they deserve the miscarriage.
Li Dong looked at Yuan Hong'er who fell silently in the snow, and suddenly felt a little scared. He hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up and prepare to take her to the house.
Zhaodi shouted again: "Dad, please find a doctor for my mother. My mother is bleeding so much. It is possible that her brother is dead!"
Zhaodi is already twelve years old, and she is considered a half-grown girl. Although she doesn’t understand much about men and women, she has been taught since she was a child that having a younger brother is the most important thing. She knows that her father really wants to have a son, and now she can say anything.
