The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 120 Phoenix Man Husband vs. Tragic Original Wife (3)
Qi Jiacheng swam halfway in the water, and thought of the widow Chen Jiao and Zhao Shiyi, who he had killed, both still lying there. If the villagers found out that he was the murderer, it would be terrible. He hurriedly swam back.
He happened to see Wu Lian carrying Zhao Shiyi onto the boat while Chen Jiao was left there. He had a vicious plan in mind.
Wu Lian's boat left, and he quietly got on, carried Chen Jiao's body down, hid it in the mud, and moved a lot of big stones to press it down, so that the body would not swell and float up and reveal itself.
After packing everything up, he swam back home secretly.
Before he reached the door of his house, he was stopped by his second uncle, who said that his wife had been sent to Crazy Wen. He hurriedly pretended to be worried and rushed out.
Wu Lian sent Shiyi, who was breathing weakly, to Granny Wen's door. Seeing that the door was closed, he kept shouting, fearing that the old lady was not at home or could not hear him.
Human life is at stake, so he can only do this.
Granny Wen came out of the inner room with a cane, without opening the door. She looked at the young man through the window for a few times, without saying anything or moving.
If she remembered correctly, this young man was a college student of the Wu family. That year, the child was admitted to the university, and Old Man Wu held a big banquet in the village. She also watched from a distance for a few times.
The child looked upright, and the person in his arms should not have been injured by him.
"Granny, save her, she is dying." Wu Lian almost knelt down to the old man in front of him.
He brought the person back to save her, not to watch her die.
"What is her relationship with you?" Granny Wen was indifferent, and casually glanced at the bloody person in his arms, probably judging that she was beaten and temporarily unconscious. The injury was not serious.
"She has nothing to do with me, but when I found her, she was covered in blood and she was about to die." Wu Lian could feel her breath getting weaker and weaker.
"Come in." Granny Wen opened the door for him with a cane.
Wu Lian came in with Shi Yi in his arms, but he didn't know where to put him.
People in the village have always said that Granny Wen was a lunatic, she was insane and talking nonsense. If it weren't for the medical skills she learned when she was young and could cure people, no one would have paid attention to her.
But he looked around and saw that although the small space was shabby, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and the soil on the ground was clean and shiny. It didn't look like a place for a lunatic to live.
"Put it on my bed." Granny Wen instructed him, and went to the kitchen with a cane to scoop water for washing.
This clean and tidy quilt would definitely get dirty if a bloody person was put on it, but Wu Lian didn't care. He gently put Shi Yi on it, and the whole person was relieved.
Granny Wen must be inconvenient to use a cane and a basin, so Wu Lian hurried to help.
Granny Wen had difficulty walking, and seeing that he was willing to help, she told him where to put the things he needed to prepare, and looked at him busying around, and she had some appreciation.
Normally, none of these young people would come to her place. When they saw her from a distance on the road, they would say she was crazy. But the young man in front of her was a little different.
"It's disinfected." Wu Lian handed her the scissors that had been burned with a burning candle.
"You go out first. I need to clean her wound first." Granny Wen handed him a towel, "Wipe the sweat off your head, and boil some hot water by the way. When she wakes up, wipe her body."
Wu Lian took the handkerchief, looked at it briefly, and hurried out.
Granny Wen was even more satisfied with this young man. She originally judged that Shi Yi's injury was not serious, but when she cut open the clothes, she found the slightly sunken belly and the lower body that was bleeding non-stop, and she was shocked.
"What a sin." She used the handkerchief to wipe the blood off Shi Yi's body bit by bit, and asked Wu Lian to boil the hemostatic herbs hanging on her wall.
"Aren't you going to boil water?" Wu Lian asked with his back turned.
He actually heard Granny Wen's sigh and the word "what a sin", but he didn't dare to ask.
"Don't boil water for a bath yet. If the bleeding doesn't stop, the girl will die." Granny Wen didn't stop scrubbing her hands. "You are so cruel. The girl was beaten to miscarry."
Wu Lian's body froze there.
He didn't know she was pregnant.
"Will she die?" he asked.
"Go and boil some herbs to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding stops, her life will be saved." Granny Wen turned around and noticed something was wrong with him, and scolded him.
Wu Lian reacted quickly and ran to the stove.
Outside the door, there were the voices of Aunt Wu, Granny Qi, and Grandpa Qi shouting.
"Open the door, how is my daughter-in-law, open the door!"
Granny Qi had a quarrel with Granny Wen when they were young, but now her daughter-in-law's life was at stake, and she couldn't care less.
"You go to the door and guard it, and tell them that if anyone comes over, I won't save Qi's daughter-in-law." Granny Wen had a cold face, and it was obvious that she didn't like the owner of the voice at all.
Although Wu Lian didn't know what was wrong between the two old people, he could now distinguish the priorities and hurriedly agreed to run to the door to pass on the message.
"Wu Lian, if you don't let me, an old woman, come in to see my daughter-in-law, I will..." Anxious Grandma Qi thought for a while, and suddenly wiped her face, "I will not rest in peace even if I die."
"Grandma Qi..." Wu Lian looked at his mother in embarrassment for help.
"His mother-in-law, don't make a fuss here, the child will definitely be safe." Aunt Wu pulled her arm, afraid that she would overreact.
"Child," Grandma Qi turned her head and looked at her, and wailed even more, "How did you know that our daughter-in-law is three months pregnant. If this child is gone, how can I live, my precious grandson..."
Aunt Wu was frightened by her and let go of her hand at once.
She had seen Zhao Shiyi covered in blood before. If she was pregnant, the child would definitely not be saved.
"Her mother-in-law has been hiding it from everyone just to keep the fetus safe." Grandpa Qi, who had always had little presence, finally spoke.
"How can you ask me to work while I am pregnant?" Granny Wu complained, "You Qi family don't treat our daughter as a human being."
"We are doing this for the baby in our belly!" Grandma Qi was crying.
"Alas!" Aunt Wu sighed heavily and turned her face away, "This girl is unlucky!"
The daughter-in-law of the Qi family is the most obedient and hardworking in their village. Every day, she does all kinds of work in the fields and at home. If she had a daughter-in-law like this, she would rather serve her than order her around.
Unfortunately, the daughter-in-law of the Qi family not only does the most work and is the most tired, but also has to be beaten and scolded by Qi Jiacheng. She is a pitiful person. Now she has encountered such a thing again. It is really a pity.
