On the other hand, Li Dong finally returned to his home after struggling for most of the night. It was almost dawn at this time, and he endured the pain and went back to his room to sleep.
Not long after I lay down, other people in the family got up, followed by all kinds of cursing sounds.
First, the eldest daughter-in-law complained about the bad weather. It was the Chinese New Year and it was snowing all day long. She was almost freezing to death.
Later, the second daughter-in-law said, I wish I still had some duck eggs from last night, and I can have egg drop soup today.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Li started to yell, why didn't anyone boil hot water so early in the morning? She was trying to kill someone.
Then, everyone discovered that the two dead girls in the third room did not come back last night, and they usually boiled the hot water.
"Where are those two dead girls? Why aren't you up yet? Did you sleep to death?"
Mrs. Li didn't know yet that the two little girls didn't come back. Without saying anything, she opened the door of the third room and found that only Li Dong was asleep.
Li Dong stayed up all night, was beaten again, his head was broken, and his face was covered with injuries. He had long been impatient with the noise outside, but he really didn't have the energy to say anything more.
Even when Mrs. Li came in, he just turned over.
Mrs. Li didn't find the two little girls, so she went to catch Li Dong and dragged him over, only to see injuries all over his head and face.
"What's going on? Where are those two dead girls in your family? And what's going on with these injuries?"
Mrs. Li frowned, subconsciously thinking that Yuan Hong'er died outside, but it was so early in the morning that she really didn't want to mention it, so she pretended not to know.
"I was beaten, mother. I haven't slept all night. Please don't bother me and let me sleep for a while!"
His wife was aborted by his mother, and the one who died might be his son. It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart at all, but this is his mother, so he really can't say anything more. Now he can only
If you want to sleep, have a good sleep and everything will be fine when you wake up.
But Mrs. Li obviously didn't think so. When she saw her son being beaten like this, her mind immediately became active.
He pulled Li Dong up from the bed and asked: "Tell me carefully, who beat you? How could my Li family be bullied like this? Get up, and I will ask your two brothers to beat you."
You go and seek justice!”
She said this, but she was already calculating in her heart. When she goes to the house of the person who beat her son, she will definitely ask for a few more pennies in compensation!
Outside, the second room in the big room was jockeying over who should heat the hot water. When they heard the voice of the old lady in the room, they immediately became energetic, and everyone squeezed in to join in the fun.
"Oh, why was my third brother beaten like this? Who did this?"
"What did the person who did this think, how could he do such a cruel thing!"
"Look at that messy face. It looks like he was beaten by a woman. Could it be that the third brother got into some kind of debt outside?"
…
They started discussing each other with just one sentence, without caring about Li Dong's current situation.
No one mentioned anything about Yuan Hong'er, so naturally no one would think that Yuan Hong'er was the one who hit her.
After all, when Yuan Hong'er was taken out last night, she was no different from a dead person. Naturally, there was no way to beat Li Dong like this.
There is someone else who beat Li Dong, who could it be?
Li Dong was so noisy that he couldn't help it, but he still said: "It was the Zhao family who did it."
"Zhao family? You're so good, why are you going to Zhao family?"
Old Mrs. Li looked unhappy. She stayed up most of the night and ran to Changshui Village and was beaten. Wasn't this an embarrassment to the family?
"Mom, you beat my wife like that last night. I sent her to the barefoot doctor in the village. She didn't dare to treat her. I didn't have any money and didn't dare to go to the town. So I had to go to Zhao's house to find the young man from Zhao's house.
The girl saw it!"
Li Dong finally lost his temper and almost shouted these words.
Old Mrs. Li was frightened and took two steps back. After she realized what she was doing, she scolded in a sharp voice: "How dare you talk to me like this, my third child! Your wife has done no good, so what will happen if I hit her? She will be happy on her own."
Life is short, and when you die, you die, is it possible that I still want my mother to mourn for her? You are my son, it’s okay if you don’t help me, but you help an outsider teach your mother a lesson, you are really a good son of mine.
!”
Li Dong never expected that my mother would be so confident after beating his wife to death. After being shocked for a moment, he shouted with some seriousness: "Mom, you must pay with your life for killing someone!"
Old Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and hit him: "I just taught my daughter-in-law a lesson, do you still want me to pay for your life with your life? You are not my son, you are my enemy! How can you?
You have a son who is so looking forward to my mother’s death! Your wife can’t even give birth to a son. If she dies, she will die. At worst, mother will marry you another one in two years! Maybe she can even give you a son. You
Why are you so heartless!"
Li Dong finally calmed down. His mother said she would marry him a new wife in two years. Is that true?
But my nephews haven’t gotten married yet, can I really still care about them?
What's more, his wife is not dead.
"My wife-in-law had a miscarriage, so it's very possible that it was my son!"
After struggling for a long time, he finally said it.
Mrs. Li actually felt it last night, but she just pretended not to know. Now that Li Dong said it, she didn't have much reaction. She said disdainfully: "How do you know that he must be a son and he may be a loser?
If it’s really a money-losing thing, it’s gone if it’s gone, and it can save a lot of money for the family, what a great thing!”
Li Dong never expected that such words would come out of his mother's mouth. In shock, he was already pulled out of the house by his eldest and second brothers.
The whole family clamored to go to Zhao's house to seek an explanation from him. His eldest brother, second brother and several nephews even brought sticks.
He never knew that his family would be so united, and they were actually going to seek an explanation for him.
But he knew in his heart that what they really wanted was not to seek an explanation for him, but to have other agendas.
Sure enough, before they left the house, the eldest daughter-in-law said to Mrs. Li: "Mom, if the Zhao family has money, we have to ask for more from the third brother. After all, the top two in our family are about to get married.
Where’s the money?”
"Let's go over now, just to see how pretty that girl from the Zhao family is, and whether she is really worthy of my powerful family."
The second daughter-in-law couldn't listen anymore, rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Didn't the Zhao girl say that she is about to get engaged? Why are you still talking about Daqiang?"
The eldest daughter-in-law glared at her and said unwillingly, "I just said we would get engaged soon, but we didn't say we were already engaged. As long as we haven't gotten engaged yet, our powerful family will have a chance to see if she really has the ability to make money. If she really does,
Yes, our family won’t have to hold her accountable for stealing some of my duck eggs.”
