Chapter 49 Is it really impossible to change one's fate?
Looking at her father, who was half-lying on the ground, smiling happily at Qin Tao, Li Shiyue had to admit that what her mother had said before was really true!
"Mother, you're right, Father has gone mad, he's really gone mad!"
Li Shiyue can guarantee that, apart from herself and Li Shiyang, only Qin Tao and Li Wangren, the two parties involved, know that the child in Qin Tao's belly is not Li's father's. Li's father himself is absolutely unaware of this.
For the sake of the unborn child in Qin Tao's womb, Li's father defied Li's grandmother on the road of fleeing famine, and was willing to divorce Li's mother to stay with Qin Tao. He wanted to see Qin Tao give birth to this child for him.
The person who valued this child so much actually beat the child with his own hands!
And the drummers cheered?
What is this if not madness?
Just now, Li Shiyue kicked Li's father away, preventing his stick from hitting Qin Tao's head. It can be said that she saved Qin Tao's life and completed the task issued by the system.
But at this moment, Li Shiyue had no mind to pay attention to the notification sounds in her mind indicating that the task was completed.
At this moment, she was staring at Qin Tao, wanting to know if Qin Tao's baby could be saved!
If it can't be saved, wouldn't that just confirm the original plot she saw in the system before?
The original plot was that "Grandma Li was pushed out by Father Li to take the blow and died." This time, although Grandma Li did not die from the blow, she was still indirectly killed by Father Li!
"Qin Tao miscarried while trying to save Li Chunli," so Qin Tao's current state of miscarriage can be considered as a result of trying to save Li Chunli.
So, will Qin Tao be able to keep the baby in her womb?
If it can't be saved, then will the event described in the original book, "Li Shiyue was killed by a refugee while trying to save Shitou," also happen?
When Li Shiyue opened the system in his mind again to check the original plot, Li Youfu looked at Li Shigui kneeling in front of him, kowtowing and begging him repeatedly, and felt really sorry for him.
"Shiyang?"
Li Shiyang turned around and nodded to Li Youfu, then shouted to the villagers who were watching, "This is a matter of life and death. Come on, everyone, lend a hand and take him to the clinic in the city."
In the hours after Qin Tao returned from the hospital, no one paid any attention to Li's father, who was lying on the ground. It was Li's father who slowly got up and went to Qin Tao's side.
As for the Li family, Li Shiyang took the lead. With many hands making light work, he led the villagers to find a place nearby and dig a pit, thus burying Li's grandmother nearby.
Li Wangming was kneeling in front of his grandmother's grave, with his mother beside him carrying stones.
As dusk approached, before the last rays of sunlight had faded, several villagers returned in a donkey cart. On it lay Qin Tao, wrapped up tightly, and beside her sat Li Chunli, who was wiping away tears with her head bowed.
When Li Shiyue saw Qin Tao being brought back, she went to call her mother and the others back.
This matter definitely needs to be resolved today; we can't just let it go like this.
Moreover, what Li Shiyue wants to know most right now is whether Qin Tao's child has survived.
Actually, when she saw Li Chunli crying nonstop, she already had some ideas in her mind.
Torches were lit, and Li Youfu and his third uncle sat and listened to the villagers talk about how they had taken Qin Tao to the county town to see a doctor.
"...It couldn't be saved. The doctor said that if we had arrived any later, the bleeding wouldn't have stopped, and Qin Tao wouldn't have survived."
Luckily we were in a hurry on the way, otherwise we would have survived.
However, the doctor said...
The man was a little embarrassed to say it, but the man behind him spoke up first: "Hey, the doctor also said that although Qin Tao's life was saved this time, her health was damaged, and she may not be able to have children in the future."
"Yes, that's exactly what the doctor said." The man who interrupted nodded to himself as he spoke.
Yes, among the people who took Qin Tao to the county town to see a doctor this time, apart from Li Chunli and Li Shiyang, they were all men.
At that time, Li Shiyang called two women to come with him.
Li Shiyang's consideration was very thoughtful. After all, it was a case of miscarriage, and it would be most convenient for the woman to go with him.
Even with Li Chunli, Qin Tao's biological daughter, by her side, Li Chunli is still young, and how could she be as well taken care of as a married woman?
However, when Li Shiyang called for help, the people there were simply unwilling to go.
“…Well, Nephew Shiyang, my mother-in-law is still sick at home, how can I leave?”
Another person also declined, saying, "My child is at that age where he's being difficult. I can't calm him down without me. I really can't go."
Finally, having no other choice, Li Shiyang called on his second uncle Li Wangren's wife, Yu Zhenniang. However, Yu Zhenniang's face was full of reluctance. Even though Li Wangren kept advocating that the whole village should help, Yu Zhenniang was still unwilling.
Finally, having no other choice, Li Chunli, the young girl, went with Li Shigui and three villagers.
The women were unwilling to help, not because they were cold-blooded and wanted to see Qin Tao die from blood loss due to miscarriage.
It was all because of Li's father's last words, "An adulterous son deserves to die."
First of all, Qin Tao is not a decent person. She seduces other men, which not only has a bad reputation, but also conflicts with the interests of other respectable women in the village.
Secondly, since Li's father, the adulterer, said that the illegitimate son should die, who would want to have anything to do with Qin Tao and that illegitimate son?
Furthermore, according to the doctor invited by Li Shiyang, there are quite a few patients in the county town with flushed faces and hoarse throats right now, so it's best not to go if you can avoid it.
Therefore, this led to the situation where Qin Tao and her family of three encountered an accident, but no one was willing to help them.
Li Youfu and the three clan elders looked at each other, not really wanting to get involved in the affairs of Li's father and Qin Tao's family. The famine, the need to evade government soldiers, the plague, and the journey to Dengzhou were already enough to cause them trouble.
Who would want to associate with you two morally reprehensible scoundrels?
However, we have to deal with it whether we want to or not, because there are two lives at stake.
Just as Li Youfu was about to speak, another loud "Awooo!" came from behind him.
It's Li's father!
As soon as Li Shigui returned, he wanted to help his mother lie down on the donkey cart, but the place for her to lie down on the donkey cart was already occupied.
Li's father is lying there.
Therefore, Li Shigui settled both old and new grudges together. Without saying a word, he went up and used all his strength to pull Li's father down.
Li's father was already ill, and he was beaten by Li Wangming. Even though he rested for a few hours on the donkey cart, he was still covered in injuries.
Li Shigui was seriously injured by this fall, which is why Li's father shouted out.
Upon hearing Li's father's words, Li Shiyue and the others, who were gathered together eating porridge, all stopped eating. "Mother? Should we go and take a look?"
Before Li's mother could reply, Li Wangming had already put down his bowl and was about to get up.
Li's mother grabbed the hem of Li Wangming's clothes, shook her head at him, and then said to Li Shiyue, "That is your father after all. You and Shitou should go and see him."
Li Shiyue took Shitou's hand and led him to the back of her donkey cart. Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian also wanted to get up and follow, but Li Shiyue waved her hand, telling the two sisters not to go.
"It's not a good thing, sister, don't get involved. Stone and I have no choice but to go, you guys shouldn't go."
When Li Shiyue and Shi Tou arrived, Li Shigui had already been restrained by Li Shiyang's men.
Li Shiyue went to see Li's father. He was standing with his back against the wooden stick that Li's grandmother used to use, and there were new wounds on his face.
"You little beast, you want me to leave?"
"Heh, fine. Return everything you ate, drank, and used from me. As long as you return every single penny you owe me, I'll leave!"
