Chapter 057 Where is Mumu?
"Let's go back quickly." Gu Yuru said softly. She was afraid that Sun would beat the child again.
After all, I am an outsider. I can help you temporarily but not forever.
Li Fenghua handed the small wild flowers she picked to Gu Yuru without saying a word. Li Mumu was next to Old Madam Gu and happened to see this scene.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the look in Li Fenghua's eyes when he looked at her just now was full of provocation.
After Li Fenghua returned, she was beaten by Sun again as expected, but she was quite happy this time. She thought that the harder her mother beat her, the more her third aunt would feel sorry for her.
So, although she cried loudly, she was hoping in her heart that her mother would beat her hard. As long as she wasn't killed, she would be able to live a good life.
When it was time to eat, the Li family naturally ate what the yamen runners gave them. They had vegetables, meat, and goat's milk to drink, which was delicious and nutritious.
After a while, each member of the Li family had lost a lot of weight, but most of the Gu family members still had rosy complexions. After taking off their prison uniforms and putting on ordinary clothes, they definitely didn't look like people who had suffered misfortune.
"Little girl from the Li family, come here." Song Qiang prepared the meal and waved to Li Fenghua. She would not go back on her word about the pancakes she promised to give her.
Li Fenghua walked over holding a broken bowl and with wounds all over his face.
Song Qiang felt sad when she saw this, and couldn't help but sigh, "God damn it, how could he do this?"
Li Fenghua bit her lip pitifully, but when she saw Gu Yuru walking over with Li Mumu, she shook her head and said firmly, "Fenghua, it doesn't hurt. Third Aunt is a good person. Even if I get beaten, I still like her."
Gu Yuru smiled faintly, her eyes full of heartache, "Good boy, listen to your mother, take fewer beatings, and don't make her angry again."
Li Fenghua shook his head.
Gu Yuru frowned, "Why? Doesn't it hurt to be beaten? Look at your swollen face."
"It doesn't hurt. Mother doesn't like Fenghua to be close to you, but Fenghua likes you. Even if she is beaten to death, Fenghua will not stop associating with you."
If she hadn't read it through, if she hadn't accepted the original owner's memories, Li Mumu would have really believed that this second cousin was a stubborn person who knew right from wrong.
But in fact, she is a vain person who will do anything to achieve her goals.
The heroine was regarded as a lucky star after she was born. She was not liked at first, but she survived. However, she became jealous of the heroine and was beaten badly by her.
What Li Mumu couldn't understand the most was that on the way to exile, she almost wanted to suffocate the heroine once. Later, when the heroine was three years old, she even wanted to push the heroine into the river in the exile area, but the heroine tricked her into falling in and drowned.
She was only eight or nine years old at that time.
Li Mumu looked at the way Li Fenghua was trying to please her mother, and she felt that this was transferring the hatred that he would later have for the heroine onto herself.
But at the moment, there is no evidence, and no one will believe her if she says that what she wants is not good for her.
After all, he is just a child, so Li Mumu decided to counter his moves.
After Li Fenghua returned, it was expected that he was beaten up by Sun again, but Li Ye didn't care at all, because she was not a son, but just a girl.
No one in the entire Li family said a word for her. The only thing they said was not to dissuade her, but because they complained that Li Fenghua cried too loudly and they couldn't rest.
The more badly she was beaten, the more distressed the Gu family would feel. However, the Gu family was still very rational and would not easily interfere in other people's affairs.
At night, the Li family was so hungry that they forced themselves to go to the nearby woods to find food. Lin Siyan said she was not feeling well, but no one cared about her, so there was nothing to eat.
She knew that Mrs. Li was not joking, so she could only drag her tired and heavy body and follow her.
Li Rong didn't want to go because after her miscarriage, she hadn't had a rest or even a full meal. The amount of blood in her body didn't decrease but increased day by day, and it was very painful. Her face was pale and bloodless, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor was lost. But if she continued like this, no medicine would be able to cure her.
The Gu family had food, and the supply had not decreased in the past few days, but the children were too playful to feel tired, so they went into the woods anyway.
Li Fenghua didn't want to follow the Li family but insisted on following the Gu family. "Aunt, don't worry, I will take care of my sister."
Gu Yuru smiled and nodded. Who would have thought that such a young child could have such a vicious mind?
"Fenghua is so good, you have to take care of yourself too."
Li Fenghua nodded vigorously, then affectionately took Li Mumu's hand and walked away. The boys rushed in front, while Li Fenghua and Li Mumu followed behind, saying that they could protect them in case of danger.
As soon as they entered the forest, Li Fenghua let go of Li Mumu's hand and said, "Go over there."
Li Mumu sneered. Is this not even a pretense?
Didn't she think she would be in danger if she left?
"Okay, then I'll go find my brothers."
"You're not allowed to go." Li Fenghua said anxiously, "The boys are doing something, don't hold them back."
Li Mumu didn't know what to say. She was poisoned by her parents who favored boys over girls. She subconsciously felt that she was not as good as boys.
"But you didn't come, so I just followed my brothers."
"I... I'm here now, so you have to follow me. Otherwise, I'll tell Aunt San that you didn't listen to me, and then you'll see how she'll deal with you."
Li Mumu laughed and said, "Okay, sister, don't tell my mother. I will listen to you."
Li Fenghua smiled proudly, "Then you go over there and I'll go over here. Don't get lost."
Li Mumu nodded, "But I'm scared!"
Li Fenghua said nothing and left without looking back.
It was getting darker and darker, and the people who had gone into the woods came back one after another. Maybe because it had just rained, the Li family also brought back some wild vegetables and mushrooms, which could be used as a snack, at least it was better than going hungry.
Gu Yuru looked into the woods several times, but the children didn't come back. She couldn't help feeling a little worried and regretted letting them go.
"Sister, don't worry, they will be fine. You have forgotten the ability of that girl Mumu. Yunchao is here!" Gu Mingjing liked the little girl so much when he thought of the way she drew the bow and shot the arrow, and he wanted to teach her himself.
Having said that, Gu Yuru felt that they were children after all, and was just as she was worried. Then, Gu Yuru saw a figure, walked closer, and found that it was Li Fenghua.
"Aunt San, look, I got so many mushrooms." She let down her skirt, which contained quite a few mushrooms.
Gu Yuru didn't care about mushrooms at the moment, "Why did you come back alone? Where are they, Mumu?"
Li Fenghua was young, but very calm. "Isn't Mumu back yet?"
When Gu Yuru heard this, her face darkened. "Aren't you with Mumu?"
Gu Yuru nodded. "Mumu walked slowly. I left with Mumu, but she cried and said she wanted to come find you and wouldn't let me accompany her. Didn't she come back?"
