Chapter 210: Difficulties of a Stepmother (2)

"I told you that you are a jinx. Your mother was killed by you. And my poor grandson also died in your mother's belly. You really married a jinx into the house and brought trouble to our Qi family..." The Qi family's grandmother came out of the house cursing, holding a bruised and thin baby in her hands. It was obviously a boy.

The curious people took a closer look and shouted, "What a pity."

"That's right, the jinx really brought misery to our Qi family." The Qi family's grandmother glared at Mai Huaer in Shi Yi's arms, walked to the manure pit next to the pig pen and threw the child in. The villagers who were watching were not surprised by her behavior.

Knowing that Mai Huaer's mother was going to die, everyone felt that it was unlucky, and no one wanted to go in. Everyone looked at each other and looked around at the door.

"Mom, my mom, my mom..." Mai Huaer didn't have time to feel sorry for her short-lived brother. She struggled to get out of Shi Yi's arms and ran straight into the door.

Granny Li, who was carrying the blood, was accidentally knocked down by her. With a clang, the blood in the basin spilled all over the floor.

"What bad luck, what bad luck." Granny Qi looked at the little girl, picked up the basin, spat on the ground, and murmured, "This old Qi family has really been struck by a disaster."

"Mom, wake up, wake up." Mai Huaer grabbed the woman's arm on the bed, and her tears quickly hit the cement bed, wetting the hay on it.

The woman on the bed opened her eyes wide, with some spirit in her eyes. She wanted to turn around and look at her only child in the world, but the blood under her body kept flowing and flowing. The warm force made her forget the sorrow and pain of living, and she wanted to leave with this force.

"Mom, don't sleep, look at me, look at me." Mai Huaer slapped the hay on the bed with all her might. The blood-stained hay was sticky and wet, which made her even more terrified.

"Alive... Alive..." The woman seemed to feel the pain of the child, her eyes lit up for a moment, and she said these two words with all her strength.

In the moment before she died, she quickly reviewed her short life.

She had no father since she was a child, and her mother ran away with someone else. She could only beg for a living when she was young. She passed by Juyang County from other places and was spotted by the old lady of the Qi family. She was easy to control and coaxed and deceived into becoming her daughter-in-law. Her husband Qi Yangui was a cowardly man who listened to his widowed mother in everything. After she gave birth to her daughter Mai Huaer, she had been in poor health and was forced to do all kinds of work in the fields without any rest time. After she gave birth to her second daughter, because she was despised for being a girl, she was not allowed to do the confinement and was directly sent to the fields to plant rice seedlings. Only a few weeks later, she was forced by her mother-in-law to have sex with her husband and became pregnant with her third son. When she was pregnant, she knew that she could not escape this time.

Now it's good to die and end it all. Poor Mai Huaer, she was only nine years old and knew nothing. She had no idea how she would be abused by the Qi family.

Mai Huaer saw the dim light in her mother's eyes and the bleeding hay under her, so she threw herself on her and burst into tears.

Her mother, the mother who gave birth to her, the only person in the world who treated her well, left just like that. She would be a motherless child from now on. Shi

Yi stood far behind them, looking at the crying Mai Huaer with compassion in his expression.

But the child was so young that he would not understand that sometimes death is happier than life.

"Auntie, I don't have a mother anymore." After Mai Huaer turned around and saw that it was Shi Yi, she stared at her and said what was in her heart.

"Your mother is dead, but you still have to live well." Shi Yi walked towards her step by step and wiped the tears from her face.

"Alive?" Mai Huaer's eyes trembled, and she cried softly like a little deer, "Without my mother, how can I live?"

When her mother was still alive, even if her grandmother scolded her and beat her, she still had hope in her heart, because although her mother did not dare to contradict her grandmother in person, she would definitely hug her and cry, tell her stories, and coax her afterwards.

Now that her mother is dead, there is no one in the family who protects her anymore.

"I will protect you in the future." Shi Yi gently hugged her in his arms.

Mai Huaer's eyes focused on the black mud marks on her new clothes. Remembering that they were left by her when she was at the door, she backed away in fear, shouting "Don't hit me, don't hit me".

Shi Yi looked at Mai Huaer who suddenly became terrified, and stood hesitantly, not knowing whether to go forward.

Mai Huaer bumped into the cement bed pier, staggered and fell to the ground. The familiar scene just now made her relive the shadow of her childhood.

When she was three years old, her grandmother bought a new dress at the market. She held her in her arms for the first time and asked her if the dress looked good.

She glanced at her mother beside her and nodded obediently, but the bright flowers on the dress were a fatal attraction to the young girl. She reached out to touch it like a demon.

The next second, a hot slap fell on her face. Then there was the cry of her mother hugging her and the scolding of her grandmother.

"Mom, the child is still young, it was not intentional."

"I let you, a jinx, have dirty hands. I let you have dirty hands. How can you wash them off if you touch them? I carefully selected them before buying them."

The scene was so chaotic that she still couldn't remember whether the first slap on her face was from her mother or her grandmother. But what she clearly remembered was that her mother vomited blood on the bed that night, and it was her grandmother who hit her with the handle of a hoe.

If her mother hadn't stopped her, she might have been beaten to death.

Shi Yi saw that she had been staring at her clothes. When she lowered her head, she found the black marks on her clothes. She hurriedly coaxed her, "It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing. Auntie has plenty at home."

"Auntie, I want to die. I want to die with my mother." Mai Huaer climbed onto the bed and hugged her mother's body tightly.

Instead of living in the fear of her grandmother every day, it is better to leave with her mother. The old people said that people have no feelings after death and will not be afraid of pain. When she dies, she will not be afraid of anything.

"Nonsense." Shi Yi forcibly took her down from the bed, "Your good days are still to come."

Mai Huaer punched and kicked, "Don't worry about me, don't worry about me, I don't want to live. No one in this family cares if I live or die."

"This damn unlucky star, her parents died and she wanted to go with them. It's really wishful thinking. This family is still counting on her." The grandmother washed her hands and walked into the house with a bamboo cane, knocked heavily on the earth wall, and shattered a lot of loess.
