Chapter 76 The Wicked Mother-in-Law Broke Her Back
Cao fell into the swill bucket, struggling desperately with her legs wide open. Finally, she choked on a mouthful of rotten leaves, sat up, and cried out, "Oh my god!"
Her face and body were covered in foul-smelling swill, and she probably had drunk quite a bit in her stomach.
This bucket of swill was meant to be taken to the backyard to feed the pigs this morning by Du Wanchun's aunt, but before she could get there, Cao stopped her and beat her up.
Du Damei and Aunt Zhou were both stunned and couldn't help but cover their mouths, feeling nauseous.
Cao wiped her face in a disheveled state, glared fiercely at the three of them, and pointed at Du Wanchun in a fit of rage, saying, "You just wait, I'll beat you to death!"
After saying that, he struggled to his feet and fiercely lunged at Du Damei and the others.
Du Wanchun stood in front of Du Damei and the others and said sternly, "Grandma Cao, if you dare to lay a hand on us again, don't blame us for being impolite."
She usually speaks in a soft and sweet voice, but today she seemed like a different person, her voice turning cold and sharp.
Cao was taken aback, but quickly rolled up her sleeves arrogantly and tried to pounce on them again.
However, she had only taken one step when she slipped on the swill on the ground and fell backward.
With a cry of pain, Cao fell onto the bluestone ground, her waist being pressed against by a sharp stone, making a sound like bones cracking.
Cao's eyes widened, she clutched her waist, and let out a heart-wrenching scream, "My God, why am I so unlucky?!"
Just then, the eldest son of the Cao family returned. He happened to see Cao Shi rushing forward to hit someone but accidentally tripping and falling. He quickly ran over and shouted, "Mother!"
Cao was in so much pain that her face turned pale. When she saw her son arrive, she pointed at Du Wanchun and the others and said, "Son, it was them, they pushed me!"
Although the eldest son of the Cao family was timid, he was not unreasonable. He sighed and said to Cao Shi, "Mother, I saw it all just now. You fell by yourself!"
Hearing her son's words, Cao's face, which had been pale with pain, turned ashen. She reached out with trembling hands to grab her son's clothes and scolded him through the pain, "Are you still my son! How can you speak up for outsiders!"
Cao the eldest was getting impatient. He grabbed Cao Shi and headed outside. "Mother, stop talking. I'll take you to see a doctor first!"
As soon as Cao moved, she cried out in pain, too weak to speak.
Seeing them about to leave, Du Damei quickly went to Cao Laoda's side, "Husband..."
Looking at her injured face, Cao Laoda didn't blame her. He just sighed and said, "I know this isn't your fault. I'll take Mother to see a doctor first. You can stay home and take care of the guests."
Du Damei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Cao was in excruciating pain, but still wanted to scold Du Damei a few more times. However, Cao quickly helped her out of the room.
In his early years, Cao Laoda had a good relationship with Du Damei. However, because he was unable to conceive, he was weak-willed and had low self-esteem. He dared not say a word in front of his domineering mother.
However, just as he entered the door, he saw the injury on his wife's face and felt a pang of guilt, for some reason he suddenly had a change of heart.
Thinking that this woman had been with him for more than ten years and had suffered a lot, he couldn't let her continue to suffer like this.
Cao Laoda carried Cao Shi on his back and hurried to find Doctor Xu.
Du Damei turned back, lowered her head, and cried as she said to Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou, "My dear in-laws, Wanchun, I'm so sorry to have troubled you today."
Aunt Zhou quickly stepped forward and grasped her hand, "Don't be a burden. It's a good thing we came today, otherwise your mother-in-law would have bullied you even more!"
Du Wanchun also took Du Damei's hand, "Auntie, don't worry, if you have any grievances in the future, just tell us. With us here, we will never let her touch a hair on your head again!"
Du Damei looked at her little niece in front of her and was deeply moved. Tears streamed down her face, and she choked up, unable to say a word.
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou helped Du Damei into the house and poured her a glass of water.
At this moment, the little baby who had been wailing loudly on the bed suddenly stopped crying.
Du Wanchun quickly went to the bedside and looked at the little baby.
The little boy looks a bit like his father, but he's much better looking.
She held the child in her arms and said, "Auntie, this child seems hungry."
Du Damei quickly snapped out of her daze, put down her water glass, and headed towards the kitchen. "I've made some rice porridge. Wait a moment, I'll get it right away."
“Okay, Auntie,” Du Wanchun replied, holding the child.
Aunt Zhou came over and teased the child, then sighed and said, "This child is lucky to have met your aunt, otherwise he would have been a miserable person."
Du Wanchun looked in the direction of her aunt and smiled, "My aunt is a good person. She will be blessed in the future."
"Wanchun, come and give me the child." Du Damei came over carrying a bowl of hot rice soup.
Du Wanchun stepped forward and handed the child to her, saying, "Auntie, rice porridge alone isn't enough for such a small child."
Du Damei nodded. "I asked your uncle to go to a few other villages to get some milk. He came back in a hurry just now, so I don't know if he got any."
In Cheng'an County, not many villages raise cows, so cow's milk is very precious.
The eldest son of the Cao family also loves this child, so he went to other villages in the county to look for him yesterday, but he hasn't returned yet.
Du Wanchun looked towards the door, "I wonder how things went with Uncle Cao taking Granny Cao to see the doctor."
