Famine Years and Fleeing: After Reincarnating as a Farmhouse Mother-in-Law, I Became Amazing

Liang Shuyan was reborn as the mother of a group of children. Being a mother was one thing, but she also happened to be in the midst of a famine. With originally precarious meals and the added hard...

Chapter 163 Is Mother Heartless?

"Alright, that's enough, hurry up and fetch the doctor!" Only then did Madam Liu rush off to fetch the doctor.

Inside the martial arts school, a group of people surrounded Jin Erniu, who lay on the ground, his flesh mangled and bloody, barely breathing.

Deputy General Xiao was so frightened that his body went limp, and he handed the steel whip to Liang Shuyan: "Auntie, no, no, we're really not going to die, are we?"

Seeing this, Jin Dashan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Erniu, saying through teary eyes, "Look at you, you didn't just be a proper martial arts school director, but had to do something like this, making your mother angry. Now you're suffering for it, aren't you?"

Sanwang burst into tears: "Mother, how could you do this? You actually beat my second brother to death! My second brother was very filial. When you were sick, he even carried you to town to find a doctor."

Liang Shuyan felt a lingering fear. She was genuinely afraid that something might happen to Jin Erniu, but if she didn't give him a profound warning, he might do the same thing again.

"Enough, stop crying. Are you a woman?" Liang Shuyan looked at Sanwang, who was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound.

All the soldiers were stunned and stood there in fright. A few people standing at the back whispered among themselves: "I didn't expect that the owner's mother is really heartless. Jin Erniu is wrong, but how can she beat her son like that? I think it's a blessing that Erniu is alive."

“I don’t think so. Dashan’s mother is a very powerful figure in Daling Village. How can she be gossiped about because of Erniu’s little matter? I think the key issue is that Erniu’s wife complained to her mother-in-law!”

"That makes sense. Erniu's wife hasn't come over lately. Does that mean Erniu's mother is a very loving mother-in-law?"

There were all sorts of comments, but Deputy General Xiao was quite frightened. He turned around and ordered, "Shut your stinking mouths! This is what happens when Erniu flirts with women!"

He then dismissed everyone in the courtyard.

Liang Shuyan called over Deputy General Xiao and said in a low voice, "For the time being, you take care of the martial arts school. Among these people, are there any well-trained ones? I want to arrange a few thugs for my family!"

Deputy General Xiao looked up at Liang Shuyan and nodded: "There are two. Would you like them now?"

"No need, tomorrow, just tell them to come to my house tomorrow! I have things to do at home, so I'll be going now!"

After the doctor arrived and examined Erniu, he instructed someone to take care of him: "You two stay here and take good care of Erniu, but if that woman next door dares to come to the martial arts school again, throw her out!"

After explaining the situation at the martial arts school, Liang Shuyan turned and went to the courtyard next door.

The woman was washing clothes in the yard when her eyes met Liang Shuyan's cold gaze, and she began to worry: "What exactly does this woman want? Is she trying to cause me trouble?"

The woman stood up and stammered, "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't seduce your son. Your son came to my house to find me."

Liang Shuyan had no intention of listening to any explanations. She gave the woman a cold look and then said, "From now on, if you dare to seduce my son at the martial arts school, you know what the consequences will be. Don't blame me for not warning you then."

At this moment, a boy stepped forward and whispered a few words in the woman's ear. It was probably about the martial arts school. The woman's face turned pale, and then she nodded: "Yes, I understand. I will definitely not do it again!"

Da Shan was also in a very bad mood. He got on the cart and didn't say a word, driving the donkey cart along the road.

Sanwang glanced at Liang Shuyan and said somewhat angrily, "Mother, why won't you let my second brother come back to recover? He's my second brother!"

Liang Shuyan looked at Sanwang: "Sanwang, are you complaining about me?"

Sanwang dared not speak.

Liang Shuyan cleared her throat and said, "You only see how heartless your mother is now, treating Erniu like that, right? But if your mother isn't ruthless this time, will he give up on this idea in the future? Don't you know what happens when a woman is abandoned by a man? Have you all thought about it for Beibei's mother?"

Yes, in ancient times, a woman abandoned by her husband was considered a forsaken wife. How was she supposed to live? Whether in ancient or modern times, women are ultimately the most pitiful. She had to protect her daughter-in-law from harm. As for Jin Erniu, he only suffered some minor injuries. After this experience, he would never do such a thing again. Liang Shuyan had achieved her goal.

Soon, the donkey cart arrived at the village. At the village entrance, Niu Niu stood and waved happily when she saw Liang Shuyan: "Mom, Mom is back!"

In the courtyard, Liu was squatting by the door with a mournful face, as if she was thinking about something. When she saw her mother-in-law return, she stood up and said softly, "Mother, you're back?"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

As Liang Shuyan spoke, she turned and went into the house, only to find that the old lady of the Liu family had fainted and had not yet woken up.

Grandma Jin pulled Liang Shuyan over: "You two don't even watch what you're saying! You kept it from me, and Ruyan's mother overheard you. Look, she still hasn't woken up. Erniu, are you alright?"

She had already told Dashan and Sanwang about the martial arts school, and that they wouldn't tell anyone for the time being. So, she took Old Lady Jin's hand and said, "It's nothing, Mother. What did the doctor say?"

Liang Shuyan felt she had let Old Madam Liu down. She looked at the doctor standing to the side and asked, "Doctor, what's the situation? Is it serious?"

The doctor called Liang Shuyan out and whispered some information about the old lady Liu's condition. Liang Shuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, now prescribe medicine for her and let her wake up first."

Following Liang Shuyan's instructions, the doctor prescribed medicine for Old Lady Liu, then sat down beside her, took her hand, and said, "You, all your life, you've never thought about your own health. You're always worried about your good-for-nothing son, but when you're really sick, I don't know if that unfilial son will still come to see you."

"Auntie, are you there? I want to ask you something!" She hadn't heard that voice for many days, so Liang Shuyan quickened her pace and walked towards the door.

"Aunt Liu, what have you been busy with all these days? I haven't seen you at all."

Aunt Liu lowered her head: "Oh, that's why I came to ask you for advice. My husband always sides with his daughter-in-law. Tell me, all the grain we worked so hard to harvest has been taken away by her. We don't know how my daughter and I are going to survive."
