Leng Huan held a cornbread bun, but her eyes were fixed on the fragrant steamed buns.
Leng Can stared blankly at Li Chunhua on the stretcher.
He swallowed hard, but hesitated to take a bite.
His cold and stern expression was even more gloomy, and he cracked his knuckles.
Guan Yuxi scoffed coldly.
"Eat! Why aren't you eating?"
“If Mom doesn’t make it through, you must wear mourning clothes and send her up the mountain.”
“If Mom survives, you must atone for your sins and take good care of her.”
"If you two starve to death, you'll only end up being torn apart by hungry dogs. Who do you think will pity you? Ha!"
Leng Lie said something he couldn't say.
As the eldest sister-in-law, she didn't mind saying it.
So what if she offends them? She doesn't depend on them for a living anyway!
Leng Huan's eyes reddened.
She looked at her second brother, eating her cornbread with a pitiful expression.
Leng Can blankly put the cornbread into his mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls.
His eyes were lifeless, staring intently at Li Chunhua's gray hair.
We arrived at the health center.
While the doctors were busy preparing medicine for Li Chunhua, they started scolding her harshly.
"The person was injured like this, and you only just brought them here?"
"With children like you, what's the point of getting treatment?"
"Why not just kill him, bury him in a tattered straw mat, and then give yourself a bullet?"
"You're worse than an animal! Even if she wasn't your own mother, you shouldn't have beaten her like that!"
Guan Yuxi paid the money and came back.
Looking at the three people who were scolded and looked disheveled.
She pulled Leng Lie aside.
Pointing at Leng Can and Leng Huan, she said, "Mom remarried with both of them in her arms."
This injury was caused by her husband. He has repeatedly advised her to divorce him, but she refuses.
The brother and sister were also locked in the woodshed by their stepfather.
If we hadn't arrived at the right time, the mother and her two children would probably be dead.
Upon hearing this, the doctors immediately changed their attitude towards Leng Lie.
They all aimed their cannons at Leng Can and Leng Huan.
"Oh, so it's actually their biological child?"
"Is it because he's been watching his own mother get beaten up since he was a child, so he doesn't care anymore?"
"Your stepfather treats you well, but look at your own mother, she's so thin she's practically skin and bones!"
Leng Can is dark and thin, Leng Huan is fair and thin.
Although they are all quite thin, they are still much better off than their mother, whose bones are covered with a layer of dry skin.
Not to mention, he was covered in injuries.
"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the way!"
Leng Huan's face flushed red, and she timidly retreated to the wall.
The nurse nudged her and rolled her eyes. "You're about fifteen or sixteen years old, aren't you?"
Many of them are mothers now, who are you trying to fool with your pitiful act?
The attending physician was a short, plump middle-aged woman.
He frowned as he treated Li Chunhua's wounds.
Finally, she couldn't help but glare angrily at Leng Can and say:
"Such a big young man, and he can't even protect his own mother?"
The injuries on your mother's body weren't sustained in just one or two days, were they?
"Your stepfather can lock you up every time, and even when you're locked up, don't you bang on the door?"
The nurse handed over another bottle of medicine, and said with a sneer, "It would have been better if they had drowned in a chamber pot at birth."
Guan Yuxi felt very happy.
An ingrate who wouldn't even protect his own mother.
That's why they have to be despised like this.
There's no guarantee that even a tiny bit of conscience might return.
She pulled Leng Lie out the door, saying, "Come on, let's go get some porridge for Mom."
She felt suffocated just looking at the brother and sister.
Leng Lie clenched his fist and gave Leng Can a warning look, "Take good care of her!"
The couple left in silence.
Guan Yuxi felt a tightness in her chest.
"After Mom is discharged from the hospital, let her go back to the old house to live."
Leng Lie paused, then shook his head.
Guan Yuxi was even more frustrated, "Then what should we do?"
We can't just leave it unattended, can we?
She didn't want to compromise herself by living under the same roof as Li Chunhua and her two children.
She wouldn't even agree to a polite greeting.
She has to clearly and unequivocally be a wicked daughter-in-law and a wicked sister-in-law.
It gives you absolutely no hope!
Leng Lie patted her head, a hint of dejection on his face. "Don't worry, there will be a way."
If she's willing to divorce that man, we'll build her a few more rooms.
If she still wants to go back to that home... then so be it.
You can save someone once, but not forever.
He couldn't forcibly detain Li Chunhua.
Everyone has their own destiny!
Guan Yuxi looked at him and suddenly asked, "Don't you think I'm being unreasonable?"
Leng Lie stared intently, not understanding what she meant.
Guan Yuxi said with a hint of melancholy, "I haven't even said I'd invite Mom and your sister-in-law to live with me yet."
Regardless of what he thinks.
She needs to take precautions first.
To avoid being instigated by others and developing resentment.
Leng Lie asked in surprise, "Why would you think that?"
Guan Yuxi remained silent.
She looked at him with only her clear, bright eyes.
No matter the era, there will always be people who bring up filial piety.
There must be quite a few people who think this way.
Leng Lie took her hand and kissed it.
"Xixi, thank you."
If it weren't for you, she might really be dead.
I shouldn't have disobeyed you. I thought Li Mod knew what was right...
One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit.
He tried to persuade him many times, but knew he was powerless to help.
I'd rather not see it and not bother myself; I'm too lazy to make myself upset.
Little did anyone know, Li Chunhua was almost beaten to death!
Guan Yuxi shook her head and sighed, "I just happened to be there."
Leng Can and Leng Huan, I have no objection to how you want to take care of them in the future.
