If the second son of the Li family, who lived near her house, had not gotten up to fetch water, and seen He Xiaoying sitting by the roadside with a pale face and a bucket of water spilled on the ground beside her, and had helped her carry the water back home, the consequences would have been unidentified.
He Xiaoying went home and had to stay in bed for two days because of a miscarriage. She was also scolded by Old Lady Liu every day at home.
"She thought she was a pampered young lady. I don't do any work and she just lies in bed all day waiting for me to serve her. What a sin our family has committed to marry such a lazy daughter-in-law."
He Xiaoying looked at the silent man and had no choice but to lie on the bed and wipe her tears.
Now, a good child is gone. I hope He Xiaoying can stand on her own feet in the future, otherwise she will only be bullied in the future.
Xie Sheng supported Jiang Mengxue from the other side. She had been a doctor for several years, but it was the first time she saw a pregnant woman being abused like this.
She is 26 years old and still not married, largely because in this profession she has seen too much ugliness in human nature.
She didn't have the courage to accept that she would become one of those people lying in a hospital bed, at the mercy of others.
Even her husband and mother-in-law treat her coldly.
She couldn't accept the fact that she had changed from a daughter who was spoiled at home to a woman who handled household chores but was not understood, and was even seen as a shrew by outsiders.
Everything she saw today refreshed Xie Sheng's cognition and made her even more afraid of getting married and having children.
After returning home, Jiang Mengxue was taken care of and helped to take off her coat and trousers and lie down in the warm bed.
As soon as Gu Zhenjiang got home, he found a can of malted milk in the cupboard, made two bowls of it, and asked Li Cuiying to bring it to the room for the two of them to drink.
Jiang Mengxue was originally feeling depressed, but she felt much better after smelling the fresh fragrance of malted milk.
The bowl of malted milk was particularly solid. Jiang Mengxue suspected that her second uncle had directly scooped out half a jar and added sugar, making it sweet.
Jiang Mengxue drank it in one gulp after it cooled down. "Uncle, Aunt, I'm fine now. You should go and get some rest too. It's getting late."
Li Cuiying put the clothes of the two people on the edge of the kang and took the bowl.
"Hey, go to sleep, I'm going back to the room."
After tossing and turning until the second half of the night, Jiang Mengxue was now exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she fell onto the bed.
As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them again, it was dawn.
Li Cuiying knew that the two of them slept too late and would definitely not be able to get up in the morning.
So I finished all the housework and prepared the meal before knocking on the door.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaosheng, hurry up and get up. You still have to go to work today."
Jiang Mengxue lay in bed and secretly drank some spiritual spring water. She felt much more refreshed before getting up and getting dressed.
Xie Sheng was still twisting and turning in bed and refused to get up.
"Is this killing me? I just want to sleep till the end of time, ahhhh."
Jiang Mengxue went forward and lifted her quilt: "Sister Sheng, if you don't get up now, you'll be late for dinner. Second Mother steamed sausages and millet porridge this morning. Didn't you smell the fragrance?"
Xie Sheng sniffed the air and smelled the unique aroma of sausage.
He sat up suddenly and turned his head to look outside: "What's that smell? It's so strange, numb and spicy."
Jiang Mengxue smiled. She didn't expect that the power of food was so strong.
"It's just spicy sausage. You'll know once you try it."
Jiang Mengxue brought over Sichuan-Chongqing style sausage, which was also her favorite.
But she only knows how to make the original flavor, which is neither spicy nor numbing, and it tastes pretty good too.
After dinner, the two prepared to walk to work. Riding a bike in such cold weather was a real torture, as clothes might accidentally stick to the bike.
"Xiaoxue, change your shoes. It's frosty outside today, and leather shoes don't get wet easily. I haven't worn this pair of leather cotton shoes yet. You can try them on."
Li Cuiying took out a pair of black mid-top cotton shoes from the shoe cabinet in the house and wiped the shoe surface with a rag.
"This was sent to me by your mother. I haven't worn it yet. I took it out to dry in the sun a few days ago. I also put a pair of cotton insoles in it. Try it on and see if it fits your feet."
When Jiang Mengxue came, she thought she would stay for ten days or half a month at most, so she only brought a change of clothes and a pair of old cloth cotton shoes.
To be honest, it's not very wind-resistant, but if she feels too cold, she will put a heat pack on her legs, so the clothes and shoes she wears outside are relatively ordinary.
Although the clothes he was wearing had few patches, they were neither new nor old.
Even if there is a scratch somewhere accidentally, just patch it up with a piece of cloth of the same color, so that the whole garment won't be covered with white and green patches.
Jiang Mengxue was sitting on the bench and hadn't gotten up yet, but she wanted to try taking off her shoes. It was indeed colder today than in the past few days.
Li Cuiying saw that she looked like a ball in her clothes and could barely reach her feet, so she quickly squatted down to help her take off her shoes and put them on.
Xie Sheng stood aside and chuckled.
Gu Zhenjiang also coughed twice with his hand covering his mouth.
It was a rare occasion for Jiang Mengxue to blush, and she didn't want to do it, but she put on more clothes as soon as she felt cold.
In addition to the autumn clothes and trousers made of cotton cloth for close fitting, there are also sweaters and trousers.
He even wore a loose large sweater over the small sweater, and also wore a large cotton jacket, a cashmere scarf, and a sheepskin hat. He was fully armed.
Li Cuiying helped Jiang Mengxue put on both of her feet and pressed her toes with her fingers: "It's okay, not too small. Get up and walk around to see if it squeezes your feet."
Jiang Mengxue stood up and paced a few times, feeling nothing uncomfortable: "Okay, not small."
Li Cuiying nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay as long as it's not small. Go to work quickly. I have to go out too.
You're always looking for trouble, and the Liu family's problems aren't over yet."
He shook his head and took Jiang Mengxue's shoes to the open space outside to turn them over and dry them in the sun.
Jiang Mengxue wanted to ask what else it was, but seeing that it was almost time, she didn't ask. She knew that Er Niang would definitely tell her when she got home in the evening.
The few of them walked together to the fork in the road. Jiang Mengxue and Xie Sheng turned to the other side, and the few of them waved goodbye in a formal manner.
Xie Sheng still vividly remembers what happened the night before. She never felt that being a woman was so hard and that she was not treated well.
"He Xiaoying is so pitiful. Even if it's spring or autumn now, she shouldn't have to suffer so much. I don't know what she will do in the future."
Jiang Mengxue didn't know either. She knew very well that no matter what the matter was, it was better to rely on herself than on others.
If He Xiaoying had let go of all her burdens from the beginning, and been even more shameless if others were shameless, and had given back all her madness, would the Liu family not have dared to abuse her so blatantly?
But there is no if. Since it has already happened, it depends on what choice she makes in the future.
If she still doesn't change her attitude and just accepts her fate, then this will be her fate and no one can help her.
