Chapter 213 Wang Cui'e Fainted
Chapter 213 Wang Cui'e Fainted
Just then He Chunlan brought Naodan over to deliver water. Seeing the man lying on the ground, the old lady ran over angrily.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to work? Are you pretending to be dead?"
The mother and son are of the same character. Their first reaction was that the woman did it on purpose because she didn't want to work.
Although this time, Wang Cui'e really did it on purpose.
"Hurry up and get up. If you don't work, who will do the work in the fields?"
The coward stretched out his little feet and kicked Wang Cui'e, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity, nor did he go forward to see what happened to his mother.
When Wang Cui'e heard this, her heart suddenly felt like it had fallen into a cold cave.
The small foot kicked her, the force was not very strong, but it hurt so much that she almost fainted.
She dug her fingernails into the dirt and dug into it hard, as if she wanted to make blood come out.
No matter how much pain she felt in her heart or body, she did not open her eyes this time.
"Mom, could she really have fainted?"
He Erzhu was a little annoyed.
Old Lady He kicked again, not caring about her daughter-in-law's life or death, and looked up at He Erzhu:
"What bad luck! Why are you hitting her at this time? What should we do now? Who will pull the plow?"
He Erzhu still looked aggrieved.
"I didn't hit her this time. She was just being unreasonable."
Old Mrs. He felt more and more unlucky, but she couldn't let her daughter-in-law die in the field. She suddenly slapped her butt and pulled the coward and screamed:
"What the hell is wrong with you? Wake up, what's wrong with you?"
The scream really attracted everyone, especially the members of the He family. They thought that He Erzhu was doing something stupid again, so they ran over with a hoe in hand.
"He Erzhu, you hit your wife again!"
There were cries of surprise, and seeing Wang Cui'e lying on the ground, everyone looked at He Erzhu angrily.
"No, I didn't. That's why I really didn't hit her. Maybe she fainted from the heat."
He Erzhu was very confident this time.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
He Yinghong squatted down and called a few times, but seeing no response, she became anxious:
"Hurry up and carry her back! Even if she wasn't beaten, my sister-in-law is so thin and weak, and you still let her pull the plow. You must not let her eat well. It would be strange if she didn't faint!"
After hearing this, several maids immediately squatted down and tried to hug Wang Cui'e.
The clan leader hit He Erzhu with his cane:
"You bastard, are you still a man? Go and take your wife home. Doctor Liu will be back in the next two days. Go and call him."
There was a moment of chaos and all the people in the field couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.
"What a sin! Such a good daughter-in-law was tortured into this state."
Zhang Cuihua shook her head. He Erzhu was such a jerk.
"That's right, this sister Cui'e is so pitiful."
Shen Su swung the hoe. If he could, he would have wanted to beat He Erzhu up.
Turning around, Shen Su saw He Yinghong gritting her teeth, so he moved over.
"Dahong, don't be angry. There's nothing we can do about it."
He Yinghong ignored Shen Su and chased after him.
"Dahong is a really enthusiastic kid."
Zhang Cuihua sighed and said that she had seen Dahong secretly giving food to Wang Cui'e several times.
At He Erzhu's house, Liu Qingyun was conducting a diagnosis.
After some inspection, he shook his head.
"The loss is too great. If it continues like this, sooner or later, I will be worn out."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady He was unhappy:
"Why is she at a disadvantage? I usually give her enough food, and we eat the same meals, so why is she at a disadvantage? She's just being pretentious."
Liu Qingyun had already stood up:
"If you still want your daughter-in-law to be alive, treat her well and give her enough food. She can't work these days, and she needs to replenish her body..."
补?
He Erzhu's eyes turned and he said with a bitter face:
"How can I replenish my body if I can't even eat enough? Who has the money to eat nourishing food these days?"
Liu Qingyun was too lazy to look at them.
"Whether to give her supplements or not is your business. That's all I have to say. Seeing your situation, I won't buy her any supplements. Even if you have a little conscience, you can cook some rice porridge for her to eat for a few days. It will not be in vain that I have worked so hard for your family."
Liu Qingyun also knew the character of this family. He had visited the family once before and saw that the daughter-in-law was covered in wounds, but he was reluctant to buy a bottle of medicine to apply on her.
Not to mention asking them to buy tonic medicine for their wives.
However, there are too many suffering people in this world, and he can't do anything.
"Yes, Erzhu, even if you consider that she gave birth to a son for you, you can't just sit there and do nothing about her."
"Let my wife be tortured like this, I wonder who will be willing to marry a coward in the future."
"Cui'e is so pitiful. She is in such a bad condition and yet she still has to do heavy work in the fields."
..........
Everyone had something to say, but they couldn't do anything about it as there was still a lot of work to do in the fields.
"It's easy to talk when you're not standing. What kind of year is this? It's good enough if she doesn't starve to death. If you have pity on her, bring me some rice and I will definitely cook for her. Stop meddling in other people's business!!"
He Erzhu was impatient. When everyone heard what he said, they were so angry that they were speechless and turned away.
This is true. Who has extra food these days?
The wheat harvest was already small, and they might not even be able to eat the autumn harvest.
Only He Yinghong looked at the poor woman on the bed and glared at He Erzhu fiercely, but she didn't say much and ran out.
"Bah! They all talk nicely, but when they ask for rice, they run faster than the other!"
He Erzhu spat at the door, turned around and saw the woman on the bed, and spat again:
"It's really bad luck. He didn't faint earlier or later, but at this time. He must have deliberately not worked."
Old Mrs. He also had a look of resentment on her face.
But if she really let this daughter-in-law die, she knew very well that given her family's conditions, she would not be able to find a better daughter-in-law.
Therefore, this woman cannot die.
If I die, who will do the housework at home?
"Okay, Erzhu, your wife can't die yet, unless you can find a better wife. Let's see how to plow the land quickly. We can't really not grow crops. What are we going to eat next year?"
He Erzhu didn't care.
"What to eat? Let's go to big brother and ask for it. He can't just watch us starve to death. Besides, we ate a lot of seeds before, and there aren't many left. I'm afraid we can't even finish planting all the seeds in five acres of land."
Old Mrs. He thought about it and it made sense. If her eldest son didn't give her food, she would sue him for being unfilial.
However, the filial food was only enough for her to eat, not for the whole family.
"Grow as much as you can. It's okay if we don't have enough to eat, but we can't let the cowards starve. Come on, let mother pull the plow for you."
He Erzhu got up reluctantly, and the mother and son left cursing, not caring about Wang Cui'e's life or death.
The coward also went out to play.
After they all left, Wang Cui'e gently opened her eyes.
The eyes that were originally as dead as water now revealed a hint of cruelty.
He Erzhu was just heading to the edge of the field when he suddenly saw two girls coming over. His eyes lit up and he stepped forward to greet them:
"Miss Zhao, Miss Feng, where are you going?"
