Lianyi was about to get out of bed, so she pretended to be surprised and asked:
"Brother, is my sister-in-law going to give birth?"
"No, I don't know if it's because of my breakfast. My stomach hurts so badly right now, but the doctor here can't find anything. He also said that she doesn't look like she's about to give birth. I'm afraid something has happened, so I'm going to send her to town to have a checkup."
The man packed up his things as he spoke, and soon stuffed everything the woman had brought into a big bag, then ran away with it.
Lianyi secretly praised this elder sister in her heart. This was a good trick. Not only would it not arouse other people's suspicion, but it would also allow her to leave here and return to Changning City with a clear conscience. Even if the matter was exposed, her husband would not have the right to blame her. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
She chatted with her elder sister yesterday and heard that she was not happy about returning to the county town to give birth. But she probably couldn't persuade her husband, and there was no one to take care of her during the confinement period, so she had to compromise.
She also gave the other party some advice, suggesting that he should take his mother-in-law over to take care of her and have his husband around, as men can also do things like washing diapers, and giving birth is not just a woman's job.
Apparently the eldest sister understood it very well. After eating and drinking her fill, she started to act up, and it seemed to be going very smoothly. As long as the message was sent out, it would be fine. After all, the original body was a college student, and her family would definitely look for her after she disappeared.
When Qiao Laoer saw the woman in the next bed leave, he felt more relieved, because now his wife would have no one to contact and everything was under his control.
During the day, Qiao Laoer took Lianyi to see a heart doctor, but this place was really backward and the doctor's level was limited. He just did an electrocardiogram and said that the ST band was abnormal. Qiao Laoer didn't understand at all and just asked if it could be cured.
"There are many reasons for insufficient blood supply to the heart. At present, it seems to be related to her pregnancy. Let your wife get more rest after she returns home."
The doctor looked at Lianyi's hands and saw that they didn't look like they were meant for heavy work, so he didn't stop her from working.
"Thank you, doctor. I will take her home to take care of her. I have an elderly mother at home who needs someone to take care of her."
Qiao Lao Er pretended to be honest and said.
"Okay, come back if you have any questions."
At noon that day, Qiao Laoer found a shabby van and took Lianyi back to Qiaojiagou. However, this time he did not drug her but blindfolded her.
Lianyi did not struggle. The message had already been sent. With that elder sister's smartness, there would definitely be no problem. All that was left was to wait.
When the sun set, Lianyi returned to Qiaojiagou. After getting off the car this time, Lianyi continued to pretend to be weak, saying that she was carsick, and was directly helped to lie on the kang.
Qiao Lao Er turned around and left the house, then went into the bedroom of his mother and sister, dragged them out and threw them on the ground, then whipped them severely, cursing as he whipped them:
"You two losers almost made me lose my son. I will beat you to death! You old fool, are you hoping that I won't have a son to carry on the family line? You are a money-loser who only knows how to bully others at home, eat my food and drink my drinks, and abuse my unborn son. I think you are courting death!"
The mother and daughter screamed in pain. The son (the second brother) was really ruthless this time. They usually beat that woman just to vent their anger, but they would never do anything serious. After all, she was pregnant. If something happened, neither she nor her daughter would be in good shape. They would definitely be beaten to death by the second son (the second brother).
"Brother, please stop hitting her. We didn't abuse her. She just wanted to starve herself to death by not eating."
The youngest sister immediately defended herself.
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. But when she did, Qiao Laoer got even angrier and swung the whip even harder:
"If she doesn't obey, you can just lock her up for two days. You actually hit her in the stomach. Do you think I'm blind? Especially you! Don't think I don't know your little tricks. She's a college student. You're nothing!"
When Qiao Lao Er got tired of fighting, he yelled:
"Go and cook. If you don't bring the person back, I will beat you up every day."
The old lady and her daughter supported each other into the kitchen, not daring to complain. In Qiaojiagou, a man's word is everything, especially since they both had to rely on the second son for support, so naturally they dared not argue.
After entering the kitchen, the youngest sister touched the whip marks on her arm, her eyes full of malice, and said to her mother:
"Mom, I'm going to kill that woman. If I let her give birth to a son, she'll be shitting and pissing on our heads in the future."
"Keep your voice down, don't let your second brother hear you, or he will really beat you to death."
The old lady glared with her triangular eyes and said immediately.
"So we're just going to watch her being so arrogant?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think your second brother really cares about her? What your second brother cares about is the lump of flesh in her belly. Let her be proud for a few months. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Whether she can survive or not is not up to us. As long as the baby is alive, that's all that matters."
The old lady's mind was even more vicious.
"Mom is smart. Let her be proud of herself first."
Lianyi had already fallen asleep in bed. For the next half month, Qiao Laoer did not leave Qiaojiagou. Because he was there to keep the place under control, the old and the young did not dare to make any small moves. They served Lianyi with delicious meals every day, and her complexion became better and better.
That day, Qiao Lao Er received a phone call, so he called the old man and the young man into the house and told them:
"I'm going out in two days. Take good care of my son. If she's thinner or injured when I come back, I'll beat you to death!"
"Don't worry, Lao Er, we will definitely take good care of your wife and won't let her lose a single hair."
The old lady immediately said.
"I understand, brother."
Although the youngest sister was reluctant, she dared not say a word in front of her second brother and agreed immediately.
Two days later, Qiao Laoer passed away in the early hours of the morning.
Lianyi pricked up her ears, and after hearing the sound of the other party starting the car and leaving, she slowly sat up, twisted her neck, and then quietly got down to the ground.
Without disturbing anyone, she quietly opened the door, went to the toilet, and hid in the shadows.
About a quarter of an hour later, the old lady walked towards the toilet with her pants held up, obviously in a hurry to pee.
This was discovered when the original body was tied up in the utility room. The old lady had the habit of getting up at night, probably because of her old age. She usually put a urinal in the house, but after her second son came back, he disliked the smell and didn't allow her to put a urinal in the house, so she had to go to the toilet. Lianyi was waiting for this opportunity, and she decided to collect some interest first.
After all, the old lady was old and her eyesight was not very good. After she entered the toilet in the moonlight, she had not yet adapted to the darkness when Lianyi grabbed her head from behind.
With a crisp "crack" sound, the old lady's body went limp. Lianyi threw the old lady headfirst into the pit, making it look like she had slipped and fallen into the pit.
Watching the old lady sink to the bottom of the pit with only her two feet exposed, Lianyi tiptoed back to the house and continued to lie down.
The next day, just after dawn, a sharp cry broke the tranquility of the village. (End of this chapter)
