Li family, in front of the hospital bed.
Li Qiaoer brought the cooked porridge to the bedside and brought over a bowl of medicinal soup.
"Mom, after I serve you and drink this bowl of medicine, I'm going back to Xujiafan."
Li Qiaoer held the medicine bowl in his hand, stirring the bowl gently with a spoon, talking to Li Weiniang with drooped eyelids.
After these days of care, Li Weiniang's condition has improved.
Although the corners of his mouth are still a little crooked, and his eyes are not completely straightened yet, at least the corners of his mouth will no longer be uncontrollable.
Moreover, you can also speak and communicate completely and clearly.
Hearing Li Qiaoer's farewell, Li Weiniang turned around and looked at the daughter in front of her.
Tears came down quickly.
"Qiao'er, isn't Xu San treating you badly? Doesn't the Xu family even give you enough to eat?"
"Qiao'er, tell mother, are you having a hard time in Xujiafan?"
Li Qiaoer remained silent, blew a few puffs, and then brought the spoon filled with medicinal soup to Li Weiniang's mouth.
"Stop talking and drink quickly!"
Li Weiniang opened her mouth and took a mouthful, then continued to look at Li Qiaoer, "Qiaoer, my mother was so ill that she was so sick the past few days that she didn't even bother to ask about your post-marriage situation..."
Bang!
The spoon slammed into the medicine bowl.
Li Qiaoer raised his head and stared at the woman in front of him with cold eyes.
"I'm already like this, is it interesting for you to ask so many questions?"
Li Weiniang was stunned for a moment, "Qiaoer, I am your mother, I am caring about you, my child..."
"Care? Stop being so hypocritical!" Li Qiaoer sneered.
"When you sold me to Xu Laosan for four taels of silver regardless of my thoughts, our friendship was broken!"
"Ah?" Li Weiniang looked at Li Qiaoer in surprise.
At this time, Li Wei, who was having breakfast in the main room, heard the noise and rushed into the east room.
"What are you doing? Qiao'er, why are you rushing into our mother like this? She is an elder and a patient..."
"Brother, please shut up!" Li Qiaoer turned around and yelled at Li Wei.
Li Wei was also stunned, his eyes widened, as if he didn't recognize Li Qiaoer.
"You girl, have you rebelled? Are you talking to your own family like this?" Li Wei also yelled at Li Qiaoer.
Li Weiniang, who was on the bed, began to wipe away tears.
While wiping away tears, he said: "Xiaowei, don't scold your sister, let her say it. I know she is holding a breath in her heart, let her say it..."
Li Wei pointed at his old mother on the bed, his tone a little more restrained than before.
But there was still blame in his words: "Listen, my mother is in this situation and she is still protecting you,"
"You, my daughter, are already married. You come back once in a while, and you are going to bump into my mother like this?"
Li Qiaoer placed the medicine bowl in his hand heavily on the table in front of him.
She cried and stepped back, pointing at the mother and son in front of her, her chest rising and falling rapidly with anger.
"Okay, okay, everything is my fault, you are so innocent!"
"You are really my good mother and good brother!"
"I didn't marry to Xu Jiafan, I was sold to Xu Jiafan by you for four taels of silver!"
"I'm crying and begging you on my knees not to sell me. I'm still young and I don't want to get married!"
"You ignored my feelings and made me drink that 'Mleep Powder'. As soon as I fell asleep in Xujiafan, I woke up as Xu Laosan's wife!"
"You didn't remember me when you were enjoying the good times, but when you were sick, you thought of me when no one was taking your shit or pissing!"
"Our friendship has long been gone. I came back to look after you this time to repay your kindness for giving birth to me in ten months!"
"From now on, I will never return to Lijiacun. From now on, when I die in Xujiafan, I will not even mention Lijiacun again!"
"Qiao'er, how can you say such hurtful words to my mother's heart?"
Li Weiniang covered her heart, let out a miserable howl, and stretched out her hand to catch Li Qiaoer.
I want to catch her close and comfort her properly.
Li Qiaoer stepped back, and Li Weiniang caught the opportunity and fell half of her body off the bed.
Li Qiaoer's eyes tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to come forward to help her. Li Wei had already rushed over, lifted Li's mother up from the ground, and put her back on the bed.
He turned around, raised his arm, and slapped Li Qiaoer on the face, about to throw it away.
Suddenly, Li Wei's raised arm froze above his head.
The slap did not fall on Li Qiaoer's face at all.
But Li Qiaoer was so frightened that she screamed, holding her head in her hands and turning sideways, preparing to use her body and arms to meet her brother's thunderous wrath.
But the slap did not fall.
But the voice of a man that was familiar, yet disgusting, even fearful, sounded in her ears.
"What are you doing? Can you beat my wife, Xu Laosan?"
Li Qiaoer slowly turned around, raised his head, and saw an additional man in the room through the gap in his arms.
The man was wearing patched clothes, and his temperament was that of an out-and-out farm man.
But because he has been doing rough work for many years, he looks very strong.
Because he has been fighting with his peers from ten miles and eight villages since he was a child, he has a kind of fierceness in him.
In the first few days after her marriage, she was disobedient and unwilling to fulfill her duties as a wife to him. His eldest brother and second brother asked him to beat her until she obeyed.
He was stopped.
He said that he only slapped men and outsiders.
Once you enter the house, even if it is an animal, it belongs to your family.
As for women, there is no need to beat them if they disobey, they need to be trained.
What kind of training?
That is Guan Chai Fang.
Or put him in a pigsty.
When feeding the pigs, he threw half a piece of cake to her. He didn't wash her with water for ten days and a half, and he didn't let her change her clothes.
When she couldn't bear it anymore, she surrendered obediently.
Facts have proved that he has his own way of training animals or wives.
Within seven or eight days, Li Qiaoer was so hungry that she felt top-heavy and ached all over.
He asked her to move back to the wing.
Although the family was still impoverished, in order to scrape together the four taels of silver to buy her, the family had already gone to pieces.
But he could still afford to provide bathing water, a change of clothes, and enough steamed buns and glutinous vegetables.
In this way, the two of them officially became husband and wife.
Every time she looked in the direction of Lijiacun and was lost in thought, her eldest brother and second brother would be very nervous, fearing that she would run away.
But Xu Laosan was not nervous at all.
He said, "What good will it do you to run back? It's nothing more than being sold again by your mother and your brother."
"You are already mine, Xu Laosan. If you are no longer a yellow flower girl, who will buy you from a good family?"
"Even if you are really sold, if I go to find out, you still won't be able to run away!"
In this way, Li Qiaoer gave up the idea of escape and stayed in Xujiafan to live his life with despair.
Being taken back to her parents' home to take care of her illness was a bit beyond her expectations. She didn't expect that he could resolutely decide to let her come back to fulfill her filial piety despite the efforts of her two brothers to stop him.
She never expected that he would come to Lijia Village himself.
