Zhou's mother took her two daughters-in-law to Li Pozi's house. On the way, she met Niu Pozi and Wang Pozi, who were also with their daughters-in-law. When they met, they looked at each other silently, nodded, and walked towards Li Pozi's house in silence.
There was crying in Mrs. Li's house. Old man Li sat in the yard with his head down, wiping away tears from time to time with his rough big hands.
Zhou's mother and the others paused and walked into the inner room where the crying was deafening. Mrs. Huang, Li's relative-in-law, was sitting by the bed, crying and comforting her daughter.
There were two young women at the foot of the bed. Li Jianan was holding his only daughter, his face haggard and his eyes red.
Mrs. Li came over with swollen eyes. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang held her hands and said, "We should have advised you to be more open-minded, but if this happened to me, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
Mrs. Li nodded, but she would not listen to any advice. Thinking of such a young child who had just passed away, her heart ached and tears began to fall again.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Niu didn't know what to say, they could only advise her dryly to try to be more positive after crying, after all, life had to go on.
Zhou's mother and the others went to the next room and took a look at the baby in the crib. Mrs. Li burst into tears, "This crib, like Yanyan's, was made by Ji'an himself. Who would have thought..."
Zhou's mother and the others felt sad after hearing this. They wiped their eyes, stayed for a while, and then left. It was not appropriate for outsiders like them to stay for long at this time.
After leaving the Li family's gate, he walked back with a heavy heart. On the way, he met Mu Ziwei who came out to inquire about the news. "Auntie Zhou, Auntie Niu, Auntie Wang, how is Auntie Li's family? Do you need any help?"
He wasn't talking nonsense. Although he came out to get information, he wasn't there to watch the fun. Thinking of the news he had received, he asked, "I know someone in the provincial hospital. If you need help, I can help get him there."
Aunt Wang looked at Mu Ziwei and thought that this child was not only good-looking but also kind-hearted. She sighed and said, "Good boy, there's no need. The child is already dead. No matter how good the hospital is, it's useless."
Mu Ziwei frowned, "No breath, are you sure?"
Mrs. Niu thought he was just sorry that the child was so young and left. "Are you sure? If it's okay, the child must have been woken up by such loud crying."
Children are sensitive and can burst into tears at the slightest noise. That child didn't make any movement and looked unhappy.
Mu Ziwei separated from a few people and bumped into the crazy people coming from the other side, but they quickly separated again. He ran back to the educated youth's yard and told them the news he had heard.
Meng Zhiyu and the others were very sad after hearing this. Li Tingman felt that something was wrong. In the previous life, Aunt Li's family also gave birth to a baby more than ten days prematurely, but the baby was a lively and healthy boy. This time the baby was only twenty days premature. Is the result such a big difference?
Meng Zhiyu sighed and looked up, noticing something was wrong with her. He guessed she was thinking about her past life. Song Guangye also thought she was a little strange, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
The others also looked over. Li Tingman glanced at them and said, "I had a dream before. I dreamed that Aunt Li's family had a healthy and lively grandson. Who would have known..."
Li Qingqing thought it made sense. "Isn't there a saying that dreams and reality are exactly the opposite?"
Meng Zhiyu felt that it would be bad if this word were spread out, "Don't tell anyone else about this, and don't tell anyone about Sister Man's dream."
People are treacherous. It's not that she thinks the worst of people, but good words will be spread as bad words. What's more, this kind of dream can be said to be a prophecy, which will definitely cause trouble.
Although Li Qingqing was confused, she nodded obediently.
Li Tingman thought about it and still felt uneasy. What if the child was fine? He cried when he was born. Maybe he was just sleeping soundly. There were children like that.
She couldn't sit still any longer and said, "How about we take some eggs and go see Aunt Li?"
Meng Zhiyu thought about the time when he took Li's sister-in-law's pulse. At that time, the child was in very good condition. Although there was some miscarriage, the impact was not serious.
"Go." She knew that Li Tingman wanted to go and see the child, and she also wanted to go and see what the child's condition was.
Several people took two baskets and put nine eggs in each. Just as they reached the door of Mrs. Li's house, they heard someone crying out, "The child is gone!"
Meng Zhiyu's heart tightened, and he walked in quickly. He saw many villagers in the yard, all with terrified expressions on their faces. He found a familiar woman and asked, "Auntie, what's going on?"
Hearing the voice, the old woman couldn't help but shudder. Seeing that it was Meng Zhiyu, she breathed a sigh of relief. "You guys should leave quickly. The child who died at birth suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid the Li family courtyard is..."
I'm afraid it's not clean, but I can't say that.
"Disappeared?" Zhang Yang walked behind them at some point and spoke with a stern expression.
Mu Ziwei nodded, and the old woman left in a hurry after she finished speaking. Before leaving, she asked Meng Zhiyu and others to leave quickly as well.
Li Qingqing and Jiang Zengzhi trembled, one hiding behind Mu Ziwei and the other hiding between Li Tingman and Meng Zhiyu, holding their arms on the left and right, "How about we go too?"
Mrs. Zhao took Lin for a walk around the room, then looked at the empty little bed. When she was about to go back, she saw Meng Zhiyu and others gathered in the yard.
"Why are you kids here too?" Mrs. Zhao came over with Lin.
Li Tingman glanced at Mrs. Lin, who was already pregnant, and said, "Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Lin is pregnant and it's not appropriate for her to come here."
Why does Mrs. Zhao seem to not care at all? Logically speaking, the older people are, the more taboo they are about these things, right?
Mrs. Zhao paused, then sighed, "My daughter-in-law has a good relationship with the Li family. When she heard about this, she couldn't sit still. Seeing that I was coming, she insisted on following me."
Lin looked up and glanced at her mother-in-law secretly, then met Meng Zhiyu's eyes and quickly looked down.
Meng Zhiyu rubbed his fingers, looked at Zhang Yang, and then glanced at Mu Ziwei.
Return to the educated youth's yard, make a fire and cook dinner.
Mu Ziwei carried a basket on his back and went to the back mountain to collect firewood. Zhang Yang happened to be there to collect firewood too, so the two of them walked together.
Li Tingman walked into Meng Zhiyu's house and watched her light the fire. "I feel like something's wrong with Mrs. Zhao."
Meng Zhiyu remained silent, listening to her. "In my dreams, Mrs. Zhao was always such an annoying person. Later, she offended someone and was hacked to death at home. The murderer has never been found."
"Aunt Li's grandson is good-looking. In my dream, I even gave him candy."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the dancing flames and said, "The child might be in Mrs. Zhao's hands."
Li Tingman paused, "What are you going to do?"
Meng Zhiyu threw in a small piece of firewood. "Zhang Yang and Mu Ziwei may have known each other before. Zhang Yang's identity is not simple. Tell them about this. The rest is beyond our control."
She is very self-aware and knows her own limitations. If she acts rashly and tries to achieve merit, she may not only do something bad but also get herself into trouble.
