Yu Yuan and Li Guangzong, mother and son, had a meal of dumplings tonight after a long absence. Since the natural disaster, they have not tasted this delicacy for a long time.
A few days ago, they received a large sum of betrothal gifts from the Song family, which also included a lot of supplies, including rice, flour, cooking oil, pork, chicken, and several packs of frozen dumplings.
The mother and son ate and sighed: It's worth it, it's really worth it! It's really worth it to sell Li Mengdi to the Song family! Otherwise, how could they eat such delicious dumplings!
Having eaten their fill, they lay in bed and slept soundly that night.
Unfortunately, this peace did not last until dawn. When Yu Yuan woke up in a daze, she felt that her hands and feet were tied, and there was a strange black shadow standing beside the bed.
This extremely familiar feeling woke her up instantly. She subconsciously thought that Liu Hu and his brothers had come back to attack her again, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat!
At this moment, a flashlight came on, and Yu Yuan could see the shadow standing beside the bed.
"...Mengdi?! Why are you here?"
After seeing clearly that the person standing beside the bed was not Liu Hu, Yu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While struggling to untie the ropes on her body, she said angrily: "Mengdi, what are you doing?... How dare you tie me up? Are you going to rebel? Untie the ropes for me!"
But no matter how Yu Yuan struggled, Li Mengdi just stood by the bed and watched coldly, without moving. She said, "Mom, I just want to ask you, how have I wronged you, why do you want to kill me again and again?"
Yu Yuan stopped struggling after hearing this. She looked up at Li Mengdi and asked in surprise: "What are you talking about? When did I kill you again and again? You damn girl, how could you slander your own mother like this?!"
Li Mengdi sneered at the words. She looked into Yu Yuan's eyes with anger in her eyes and said word by word: "I slandered you? Didn't you push me to the robbers in order to save Li Guangzong? Didn't you sell me to the Song family for the bride price?"
Yu Yuan felt guilty when she heard her say that, but she still said stubbornly: "Why are you talking so harshly? What do you mean by selling you to the Song family? The Song family is so well-off, you will be blessed if you marry into their family! It's not easy for me to find you this good marriage!"
As Yu Yuan spoke, her tone was filled with a hint of grievance: "Besides, your brother will eventually get married. Now that your father is gone, I am the only one raising him. If I don't marry you to the Song family, where can I get the betrothal gift for him? Without the betrothal gift, how can he get married in the future? What can I, a widow, do!"
After hearing Yu Yuan's words, Li Mengdi found it extremely absurd.
Despite being extremely angry, Li Mengdi's voice was unusually calm.
She stared at her mother and asked her in a cold voice: "Whether it's a son or a daughter, aren't they all your flesh and blood? Mom, why do you have to use me as a stepping stone for your younger brother? From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he wanted, I had to give it to him. Even the house I worked so hard to buy, you wrote his name on it!"
"Mom, why is this happening? Is it because I'm a daughter? Is it because I'm a daughter that my life is not a life? Why did you let the robbers abuse me? Why did you sell me to the Song family?!"
After hearing what Li Mengdi said, a trace of confusion flashed across Yu Yuan's eyes, but she quickly came back to her senses.
She raised her head and looked at Li Mengdi, with a bit of anger and dissatisfaction in her eyes: "How dare you say that! Since I gave birth to you, I haven't had a good day. If it weren't for the fact that I gave birth to your brother, I would have been kicked out of the house by your father. How dare you say this to me!"
"Besides, what do you have to feel wronged about? Over the years, every daughter has gone through this. When I was a child, your grandma didn't even let me go to school, but at least I let you go to college! I've been good enough to you!"
