Bai Hongmei didn't believe that Shen Xiao would be willing to ignore her. Before Qiao Baozhu got married, Shen Xiao always responded to her requests.
Qiao Baozhu must have said something to Shen Xiao.
"How dare you, bitch, to sow discord!"
Bai Hongmei had a gloomy face and was only thinking about how to deal with Qiao Baozhu, forgetting about the three hungry children.
Wei Hong woke up hungry, opened her eyes and saw that her brother and sister had returned.
She got up from the kang without noticing her mother's gloomy and unhappy face, and looked at Wei Dong and Wei Fang with a smile: "You're back, brother and sister are back. We can eat noodles now."
When Wei Fang heard her sister's words, her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Honghong, where did our family get the noodles?"
Just as Bai Hongmei was about to cover Wei Fang's mouth, she heard Wei Hong say in a baby voice, "Auntie gave this to Hong Hong. Hong Hong was sick, so Auntie gave Hong Hong noodles to eat."
Wei Hong is young and can’t lie. If she says there are noodles at home, then there must be some.
"Mom! We have noodles at home, why did you lie to us that we didn't have any?"
Wei Fang was anxious and yelled at Bai Hongmei: "You ate all the noodles while we were away, right?"
Bai Hongmei didn't feel a trace of guilt, and stared at Wei Fang confidently: "I'm your mother, and I'm pregnant with your little brother. What's wrong with replenishing some nutrition? I ate all the noodles!"
When she heard that the noodles were out of stock, Wei Hong burst into tears and threw herself on Bai Hongmei. Her little hands kept hitting her mother: "Red noodles, give them to red. You are bad, you are bad!"
Wei Fang stamped her feet, anxious and angry: "Yes, that was noodles for Hong Hong. How could you eat it? Your stomach is not big, who knows if there is a penis inside? You are just greedy, and you will die when you see food!"
"You have no shame!"
Bai Hongmei raised her hand and slapped Wei Fang in the face, then grabbed Wei Hong and pressed her on her legs, spanking her on the butt.
"You two ungrateful bastards, you dared to beat and scold your own mother just for a bite of food. If I had known you were so unfilial, I should not have given birth to you two."
As he said that, he picked up the feather duster and started beating Wei Fang hard.
Wei Fang was hit twice and ran out howling like a ghost.
Wei Fang ran fast, but Wei Hong was still lying on the kang. Bai Hongmei was angry. She picked up the feather duster and vented all her anger on Wei Hong.
In the next room, the Hao family had just finished their meal.
Hao Chunmei was clearing the table when she heard Bai Hongmei's scolding. She gloated, "From the noise, I know that Wei Fang, the brainless one, got scolded again."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Wei Fang scream. Gayazi, who was sitting on the kang and fiddling with a rattle, was frightened and started crying with a pout.
Seeing her nephew crying because of Wei Fang, Hao Chunmei threw down her chopsticks in anger and yelled outside: "Wei Fang, what are you screaming about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Fang rushed into the house, crying and shouting: "Uncle, help! My mother is going to kill us..."
Old Hao held his little grandson in his arms, patting his grandson's back with his rough big hands to soothe his fear.
Seeing Wei Fang coming in, he didn't even raise his eyelids and lectured her unhappily: "Wei Fang, you are not a child anymore, can't you be more sensible?"
"It's not easy for your mother to raise you all alone. Look how angry she is. She's pregnant with your brother or sister."
Wei Fang felt very aggrieved. "Uncle, it's really not us who made her angry this time. Uncle Chen gave us noodles, but my mother ate them all. She even lied to us and said there were no noodles at home! It was obviously because she was greedy that she ate the noodles herself and left us to eat cornmeal."
"What kind of mother would hide the delicious food and eat it herself instead of giving it to her children? She didn't give us any food and even beat us..."
Wei Fang's complaints left the Hao family dumbfounded.
Wei Hong's crying next door became louder and louder, so miserable and sad.
Old Hao's face changed drastically, and he urged Li Yan: "Go and have a look quickly, don't cause any trouble."
Li Yan finally reacted, rubbed her hands on her apron, and turned to go to the next room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Wei Hong lying on the kang crying heart-wrenchingly, and Wei Dong grabbed Bai Hongmei's arm and stood in front of his sister.
"Let go? Wei Dong, let go!"
"Mom, Honghong is not even four years old yet, are you going to beat her to death?"
Bai Hongmei's eyes were red with anger, and she yelled hysterically: "Such a little beast, who dared to beat up even her own mother for a bite of food. What's the point of keeping her?"
Seeing this, Li Yan rushed forward and pulled Bai Hongmei away.
"Hongmei! What are you doing? You are a double body person now. What if you get hurt by being so angry?"
Bai Hongmei threw away the feather duster in her hand and threw herself into Li Yan's arms, bursting into tears.
Seeing Bai Hongmei screaming desperately, Li Yan was afraid that she might have a miscarriage. If the baby in her belly is gone, who knows how much trouble it will cause.
She hurriedly helped Bai Hongmei onto the kang and her eyes fell on Wei Hong. The little child's body was covered with marks from being hit by a feather duster.
"Why is it like this?"
Li Yan was horrified and could not help but question Wei Dong: "Honghong is so young, what did she do to deserve such a severe beating?"
Wei Dong was too embarrassed to explain the reason. Could it be that he was angry and embarrassed because his mother was greedy?
Just when Wei Dong was hesitating, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. Bai Hongmei raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked at Li Yan with resentment.
"It's all Qiao Baozhu's fault! If she doesn't want to lend us grain, then don't lend it. Our family won't die without her food."
"But she wanted a good reputation and was reluctant to spend money. She gave me some broken cornmeal like a beggar and lied to the children that I was eating noodles at home alone."
"Sister-in-law, you know me. I've suffered so much to support these children. But what about them? They believed what that bitch Qiao Baozhu said, and beat and scolded me just for a bite of food..."
Bai Hongmei covered her face with her hands, heartbroken. When she was moved, she picked up Wei Hong and put her into Li Yan's hands.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want this ungrateful person anymore. If she is willing to listen to Qiao Baozhu, let her be supported."
After saying that, Bai Hongmei jumped onto the kang and lifted the quilt to cover herself. No matter how Li Yan shouted, she pretended to be dead and refused to come out.
Wei Hong was terrified when she heard that her mother didn't want her anymore.
While crying, she reached out to Bai Hongmei in a mournful voice: "Mom, mom, mom..."
Li Yan hugged Wei Hong who was twisting and turning in her arms, and was sweating profusely because of her.
Seeing that Bai Hongmei looked heartbroken, he could only carry Wei Hong back to his room first.
Li Yan held Wei Hong and led Wei Dong into the main hall of her house.
Wei Fang looked like a starving ghost, with her face almost buried in the plate. He put his hands together and stuffed the soup into his mouth, and his hands and face were covered with soup.
Seeing Li Yan coming in with her brother and sister, she waved happily at them: "There are... steamed buns..."
She had stuffed too much food in her mouth and the unchewed food residues came out.
"Eat...Puff..."
