"Can't you see there's no rice in Dajun's bowl? Hurry up and get some more!"
With Chen Miaoyi's hint, Old Lady Li became even more unscrupulous in torturing her daughter-in-law.
Li Dajun hesitantly put down his bowl and went to serve rice to Chen Miaoyi and Mrs. Li.
"Mom, I remember the last time you looked for that recipe, you wanted to use a live toad, right?"
Old Lady Li thought about the specific folk remedy and said, "Yes, there is one that uses a live toad. It must be alive to be used as medicine. Your aunt's wife ate that and gave birth to a big fat boy."
Old Lady Li spoke with great certainty, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"Okay, I'll catch a few toads when I get home from work this afternoon and let my wife drink some. Then you'll have a grandson next year!"
Old Mrs. Li was a little surprised. Li Dajun had always been against it before, fearing that people would get sick from eating it and have to spend money on medical treatment.
But now Li Dajun took the initiative to ask her to give his daughter-in-law a folk remedy, which means that his son also wants a baby. Let's see who can protect her this time!
"Okay, son, just grab four or five when you get home from work. Mom will be preparing at home. I'm sure you'll give birth to a big fat boy!"
Li Dajun, who was serving the rice, had no idea what he was about to face. He was grabbed and beaten for the whole morning and was speechless.
No one in the family believed that he was Li Dajun, but the "Li Dajun" in the family said he was real.
So, why are there two of him?
In the afternoon, after work, Chen Miaoyi did not rush to leave. Instead, she squatted at the edge of the sky, flapping left and right, catching toads for Li Dajun.
Toads are different from frogs. They look disgusting and are said to be poisonous. She wore gloves and carried a cloth bag, and it took her a long time to catch four.
The toad was jumping in her pocket. Chen Miaoyi suppressed her nausea and happily took it home.
Disgusting and happy.
"Mom! I'm back!"
As soon as I got outside the yard, I saw Li Dajun being asked by Mrs. Li to wash clothes. It was obvious that the clothes were not washed clean. How could he do this?
Old Lady Li took all the clothes off the clothesline and threw them into the basin, splashing water all over Li Dajun's face.
"Wash again! Look at yourself, the mud hasn't been rubbed off yet. Did you miss lunch or something?
Can't you do such a simple job? Your parents didn't teach you, so I will teach you! "
Li Dajun couldn't help but shed tears. He had never suffered such hardship in his life.
"Da Jun is back. Take a rest first. We'll cook soon." Old Lady Li took the time to greet Chen Miaoyi and continued to scold the real Li Da Jun.
Li Dajun looked at Chen Miaoyi pleadingly. No one believed that he was the real Li Dajun now! Only if this fake Li Dajun spoke, would Old Lady Li let him go.
Chen Miaoyi pretended not to see the pleading in his eyes, "You damn man, what about the times I asked you for help before?"
If you can pretend to be dead, so can I. I am just giving you back what you have suffered! That's all.
"Mom, come here, we found the thing." Chen Miaoyi waved mysteriously at Mrs. Li.
"Wash quickly, don't get up until you're clean!" Old Lady Li scolded and ran over quickly.
"Mom, there are four toads in there, all alive, freshly caught. Can you tell me what to do?"
Old Lady Li pinched a handful of the toad through the bag, and the toad was frightened by her and jumped around in the bag.
Auntie, please don’t pinch it so quickly. I managed to catch it with great difficulty, suppressing my nausea. If you do it again, it will run away.
"Son, this will work, leave it to mom!"
Old Lady Li was full of confidence. She took the bag, tied it tightly, found a thick stick, and put the toad on the ground.
He hit the toad with a stick through the bag, holding the bag with one hand and hitting the toad with the other.
The toad inside was croaking and squeaking, but soon it was smashed into silence.
Sorry Toad, I hope you will die sooner and be reborn sooner.
Old Lady Li poured out the toad that had been smashed into pieces and found a broken bowl at home.
Pick up a smooth stone, wash it casually, and gently hammer the toad in the bowl, determined to beat it into mud.
Chen Miaoyi felt nauseous. This old woman was really good at killing people. The black-skinned toad mixed with meat paste made her want to vomit just by looking at it.
Not to mention the toads caught from the fields, which have a fishy smell.
While pounding her, Old Lady Li enthusiastically discussed with her, "Son, drink this recipe, you two can try it. There is another recipe tomorrow, remember to catch some earthworms when you get home from work.
Earthworms plus manure, my son runs home!"
Chen Miaoyi smiled happily, "Mom, I must remember to dig up earthworms tomorrow. I worked so hard to find them. You must let my wife eat them~"
Every toad must not be wasted!
When the toad was completely unrecognizable and had turned into a ball of meat paste, Old Lady Li called out to Li Dajun.
"Daughter-in-law, come here quickly and eat this. I guarantee you will give birth to a son."
Her attitude was quite kind. Li Dajun put down the clothes in the basin, walked over fearfully, and looked at the bowl of porridge.
"Mom, what is this?"
Old lady Li smiled with ill intentions. She tried to force a friendly smile on her unfriendly face, which looked very strange.
"This, this is meat! I made it especially for you. Listen to mom, and you'll definitely get pregnant with a big fat boy after eating it!"
Old Lady Li handed the bowl to him, and Li Dajun's face changed drastically. This bowl of blood was so disgusting to look at.
"I won't eat it. What is this? It smells so bad!"
Li Dajun covered his mouth. The fishy smell was so strong that it made him feel nauseous.
Mrs. Li's smile suddenly stopped. "You dare not eat? This is not up to you."
"Eat it quickly! Don't leave any of it. This is good stuff. It will be wasted if you don't eat it. How can you give birth to a son if you don't eat it?"
Don't force me to feed you!"
Li Dajun ran out, but Chen Miaoyi stretched out her arms and pulled the smaller Li Dajun back.
"Mom, come quickly."
Relying on her strength, Chen Miaoyi hugged Li Dajun and restrained his hands. Li Dajun's feet kept jumping, creating dust on the ground.
"Take her down!" Old Lady Li commanded. She was quite good at torturing people.
"I won't eat it, I won't eat it. I'm going to call the police and have you arrested! You're abusing women. I'm going to tell the Women's Committee!"
Li Dajun actually dared to make threats, which made Old Lady Li very angry.
After he was knocked down, Chen Miaoyi grabbed his hands above his head, and Old Lady Li sat on his legs, holding his flapping feet.
Li Dajun could only twist his body with all his strength, like a maggot.
Old Lady Li used chopsticks to pick up a piece of toad meat and stuffed it into Li Dajun's mouth. Li Dajun spat it out, and Old Lady Li's face was covered with minced meat.
"Pa pa!" Old Lady Li slapped him on the left and right without any hesitation.
"Mom, you did the right thing. Women won't obey unless they are beaten!" Chen Miaoyi encouraged from the side.
