Chapter 394 A Tragic Day 2

Today it was Li Chunhua's turn to collect firewood, and she carried a large bundle back from the mountain.

Old Mrs. Li looked at it with disdain: "You've been out for so long, how come you've picked up so little?! And you eat so much, what a waste of food, useless stuff!"

With red eyes, Li Chunhua explained softly, "There were many people picking up trash at the places we went to today, so there were fewer."

She hadn't eaten enough all day and had no energy, so she couldn't pick things up as quickly as others.

"You dare to talk back?! I think you've gotten too comfortable in the Chen family and don't know your own worth anymore, huh?"

Seeing that she still dared to talk back, Old Lady Li put her hands on her hips, pulled out a piece of firewood as thick as her arm, and slammed it heavily on her back, cursing, "Don't think about eating for free here. If you work, you'll get food. If you don't work, you can just wait to starve to death!"

Li Chunhua winced in pain, but bit her lip and dared not utter a sound.

Knowing that she had stayed at her parents' house for so many days, her family members were complaining that she was freeloading.

If it weren't for the fact that her husband promised to pick her up after a while and gave her ten yuan for living expenses when he brought her back, she would have been subjected to Kendo's scorn and beatings.

"Go and carry manure! Don't even think about slacking off, or you won't get dinner!" After scolding and beating her, Old Lady Li shoved her and said irritably.

Remembering how rosy-cheeked she looked when she first came back, and how she even smelled of meat, I knew she was doing well at Old Chen's house.

She's doing well at Old Chen's house, but she doesn't even bother to bring anything back to her parents' home to help them out.

The Chen family's life was so good that it made people envious. It was just a pity that with that old hag Ma Xiulian and that damned little monster around, Old Lady Li, who had suffered losses one after another, dared not go there anymore.

Li Chunhua shrank her neck, put down the firewood, and went to the pig farm to pick up manure.

Because she had to irrigate a large area of ​​land, she made more than twenty trips back and forth, and her back was so sore she could barely straighten up.

Exhausted and hungry, my legs gave way, and I tripped over a small pebble and fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, the excrement in the bucket was poured on her, and the stench was so strong that it made her feel extremely disgusted!

Looking at her disheveled appearance, she immediately burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah~"

Why is she so unlucky? When will her husband come to pick her up?

After crying for a while, Li Chunhua staggered to her feet and walked home.

As soon as they entered, Old Mrs. Li chased them out with a broom. Covering her mouth and nose, she said with disgust, "Useless thing, get out! You stink!"

The nephews, even more displeased, shouted, "Grandma, you should send Auntie back home! She's been eating and drinking for free at our house for ages!"

Grandma said that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl; she has absolutely no connection to the Li family anymore!

"Damn it! Clean it up right now, it stinks!" Old Li's cursing voice came from inside the house.

Old Mrs. Li glared at her and scolded, "Hurry up and fetch some water to wash yourself clean!"

She didn't intend to kick her youngest daughter out; she was waiting for Chen Jianye to come and pick her up so she could ask for more money.

Li Chunhua was already used to their attitude and immediately fetched water to wash it off.

Although it was already the end of May, the well water was still cold in the evening, and the cold water made her shiver and her teeth chatter.

After rinsing several buckets, I was finally allowed to go inside and change into clean clothes.

Although she had changed into dry clothes, her hands and feet were still ice-cold, but she didn't care and hurried out to eat.

If we had been a step later, we wouldn't have even had a sip of brown rice soup.
