Liya sighed, "It's all my fault. If I were stronger, Percy wouldn't have suffered so much. He's also sensible. He's always helped with housework since he was little. When he grew up, he went fishing at the beach and hunting in the forest. Because of these, he suffered a lot of injuries since he was little. Maybe to avoid worrying me, every time he was injured, he would silently apply medicine to himself alone and never tell me. I could only pretend that I didn't know about it..."
Liya's eyes were filled with self-blame. Tonghua held her hand and comforted her: "Bessie did this to prevent you from worrying. He just wanted you to rest more and not work so hard."
Although Tonghua didn't come here often, every time she came, no matter what time it was or how late it was, she could see Leah busy all the time. Perhaps it was because of seeing his mother like this that Bersi worked harder since he was a child, wanting to make his mother's life easier.
Looking at this simple house, Tonghua couldn't help but persuade her: "Why don't you move to the village? After all, if you want to buy something, you have to walk such a long way, which is really inconvenient."
In fact, when Bo Xi brought Tong Hua to the village, Tong Hua saw that the villagers lived in such nice houses, while the house Bo Xi and his family lived in was not only simple, but also remote and had inconvenient transportation. So he wanted to ask why they lived in such a place.
However, due to the inappropriate timing, it was not convenient to ask about other people's private affairs, so Tonghua didn't ask even though the words were on the tip of his tongue.
Liya lifted up Bosi's trousers and applied the medicine to him. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "It's a long story. Back then, when I wasn't married yet..."
It turns out that when Leah was young, she, her parents, and a twin sister all lived in the village. Although their family conditions were not very good, the family worked diligently and lived a good life. But one day, her sister Lina suddenly told her that she was in love with the village chief's son, Feis.
At that time, Leah warned Lina that their secret relationship without the approval of their parents was very dangerous, but Lina, who was in the frenzy of love, would not listen to such advice. She put all her thoughts on Faith. As time went on, Leah was afraid that something would happen to her sister and she would get pregnant before marriage, which would be known to everyone in the village.
So one day, Leah went to warn Feis privately to stay away from her sister, otherwise she would follow the marriage process and announce to the world that she would marry her sister. But at this time, Feis fell in love with Leah and began to pester her.
Finally one day, Faith asked Leah to meet him alone under the name of Lina, but...
Having said this, Leah's voice was almost inaudible, and the expression on her face was full of pain and struggle, as if she was lost in past memories.
Although Tonghua didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, she could still guess what had happened.
At this moment, the room fell into silence, and even the birds singing outside the window could be heard clearly.
Tonghua didn't know how to comfort Leah, she could only clumsily pat her shoulder, trying to make her feel better.
"call-"
Leah took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and continued: "...After that, I became pregnant..."
Upon hearing this news, Tonghua felt like she could hardly breathe. She leaned over, glanced at the unconscious Percy, and asked cautiously, "Could it be that Percy is Faith's child?"
If this is true, it would be too horrifying. During the few days that she stayed at the village chief's house, Tonghua had seen the village chief once or twice. The man looked pot-bellied and looked nothing like the thin Bosi.
There was obvious disgust in Leah's eyes: "No, how could I give birth to his child! Boshi was born to me and my husband later..."
It turned out that when Leah found out that she was pregnant, she was very panicked and was accidentally discovered by Lina. Under her questioning, Lina had to tell the truth, but how could the furious Leah believe her words.
The two accidentally got into an argument, and Lina accidentally pushed her sister Leah, causing her to bleed heavily and have a miscarriage.
This commotion finally alarmed the two sisters' parents. They went to the village chief's house and made a big fuss, demanding an explanation. Lina also strongly demanded to marry into the village chief's family.
Finally, after negotiations between the two families, Lina married Faith as she wished, but Leah's reputation was ruined and she was gossiped about by the villagers all day long.
Leah's parents couldn't bear the pressure and urged her to get married as soon as possible and move out of the house. But in that situation, everyone avoided her, so how could they accept her?
Fortunately, it was Bersi's father who bravely stood up in the end. He had long been attracted by the hardworking and kind-hearted Leah, but because of his family's poor conditions, he had never dared to contact Leah.
After this incident, Bersi's father not only defended Leah in front of everyone, but also openly proposed to her.
As time went by, Leah was moved by him and they got married.
They thought they could live happily ever after, but even after marriage, Faith still didn't give up and came to harass the couple from time to time.
Leah's parents-in-law were also very resentful of her because she had not given birth to a child for many years after her marriage.
Finally, the couple decided to move out of the village, away from trouble, and built their own house outside the village.
Leah, who had a tragic fate, finally had her own child after more than ten years of marriage, but her husband fell off a cliff and died on his way up the mountain.
Since then, the mother and son have lived together, depending on each other.
After hearing these words, Tonghua was immediately filled with righteous indignation and almost slammed the table and said, "The village chief hurt you, Leah, so badly. Haven't you ever thought about taking revenge on him?!"
Liya shook her head helplessly: "This matter is not that simple. He is not only the most powerful person in the village, but also the husband of my sister Lina and the father of Miti. If we choose to retaliate against him, what should Miti do?"
"But are we just going to let it go like this?! I feel bad for you, Leah, just listening to you. You only care about Fez being Mitty's father, but have you ever thought about Percy? He's the one who made you and your son's life so difficult. Do you still want Percy to live such a hard life for the rest of his life?"
Leah hesitated: "I..."
