Li Xingwang, who couldn't lift or carry anything, became a hot potato. Li Sishun and his wife refused to let him in.
After all, Li Sansao was her biological mother. She couldn't bear to watch her son starve to death without a home. However, raising two children was already a struggle, let alone raising a useless son. She didn't have any extra food! So, although Li Sansao took the child home, she only fed him occasionally, trying to keep him from starving to death.
It was impossible for Li Xingwang to eat more and have a full meal. He could not beat Li Sansao at all, and if he angered her, he would starve without even porridge.
He used to be the village bully, but now he lives an extremely depressed and miserable life.
The enemy was living a miserable life, while Lin Xiaoman and the three members of the Yang family were living a more and more prosperous life.
After the busy farming season, Lin Xiaoman, who had already earned his first pot of gold, bought a big item - a sewing machine. Although it was a second-hand item, it was considered a high-end equipment.
Lin Xiaoman struck while the iron was hot and went to the city, found the wholesale market, and bought a large number of fabrics and small accessories.
After carrying the bags home, Lin Xiaoman asked Yang's mother to join in and started making clothes. The extra scraps were used to make headwear.
Lin Xiaoman operated the sewing machine very quickly and made a batch of clothes very efficiently. Then she went to the town to set up a stall.
Thanks to its novel designs and the gimmick of "new goods from Haicheng", Lin Xiaoman's clothes are selling like hot cakes.
Business is booming and you can make more money.
Money makes money. With more money on hand, Lin Xiaoman began to slowly purchase sewing machines and various other clothing-making equipment. Then, the business that was originally just a mother and daughter business gradually developed into a small workshop with several people.
Time flies and it’s June.
For the Yang family, there is a big event in June, that is - the high school entrance examination!
Number 75 was a hands-off boss. Yang Liqiu had always lived a self-sufficient life, relying solely on his own abilities for the high school entrance exam, so the prospect of achieving the top spot was a distant prospect. However, Yang Liqiu had always had good grades, so this time he lived up to expectations and reached the score line for the city's key high school.
Entering the key high school in the city means one has already stepped into university. College students in this era are golden phoenixes, and the Yang family is full of joy.
During the three-month summer vacation, Yang Liqiu wisely joined Lin Xiaoman's money-making business. She operated the sewing machine skillfully every day, and Yang's Garment Workshop was booming.
In July, Lin Xiaoman rented a shop in the town and opened a large clothing store. Business was booming. In the entire town, at least 80% of the people, if not 100%, would visit her store when they wanted to buy clothes.
Her business was booming, and people from the neighboring town came to her. Some of them were smart and would go directly to her to get the clothes and take them to the neighboring town to sell.
Before long, Lin Xiaoman developed several second-tier distributors.
By selling clothes, Lin Xiaoman has achieved moderate prosperity, but she's still working towards becoming a first-generation entrepreneur. She believes that in just two or three years, she'll be able to turn her small workshop into a garment factory.
In contrast to Lin Xiaoman's growing wealth, Li Xingwang's life became worse and worse.
Li Xingwang, who was barely surviving by drinking porridge, hoped every day that he could recover. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. His physical condition became worse and worse, and then the worst case scenario - paralysis - happened.
One day in August, Li Xingwang was awakened by the urge to urinate and wanted to get up to urinate. However, he tried for a long time but failed and ended up incontinent.
From that day on, Li Xingwang was completely paralyzed in bed, and needed someone to take care of him when he ate, drank, defecated and urinated.
Mrs. Li San had always had many complaints about her son Li Xingwang, who was a freeloader. Now she was completely paralyzed and of course she became even more impatient.
It's hard enough to support a family, let alone take care of a paraplegic? !
There will be no filial son or loving mother by the bedside of a long-term patient.
Less than a month after Li Xingwang became paralyzed, the little bit of mother-son affection in Li Sansao's heart was completely worn out. Because washing him was too tiring, Li Sansao simply threw him into an empty cowshed and treated him like animals.
Oh, you are wrong. In this era, livestock such as cows and pigs are raised with great care for fear that they will get sick and die.
Li Xingwang's treatment was definitely worse than that of animals. He survived by drinking soup. When Li Sansao was in a bad mood, he couldn't even drink soup. As for defecation and urination, he had to do it all on his own. Only when Li Sansao was free would she fetch him some water to wash it.
Lin Xiaoman liked to pass by Li Sansao's house whenever she had time to take a look at Li Xingwang's miserable condition.
Every time I see it, I feel a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of my heart!
Well, the original owner’s emotions.
Party A's father was happy, and Lin Xiaoman was also very happy. Unfortunately, Party A's father seemed not to be coming back.
That day, Lin Xiaoman rode his tricycle back to the village after purchasing goods. On the way home, he heard Li Sansao's crying from a distance.
Mrs. Li San howled as she carried a bucket of water and walked back from the river.
"Eat and poop, poop and eat. I owe you, the Li family, in my past life! I'm an unreliable man, and I gave birth to a bunch of debt collectors like you! People say having children provides for your old age, but why am I so miserable? I worked so hard to raise you and the eldest brother, but in the end, I can't rely on either of you! One of you left me a money-loser, and the other is a useless person! Useless trash, you only drag me down!"
Li Sansao cursed at the top of her lungs, venting all the hardships of her life on Li Xingwang, and returned home with the bucket of water laboriously.
Standing in front of the cowshed, Mrs. Li San looked at her son. The dark future made her heart surge with despair. "What sin have I committed! I still have to serve you at such an old age! Xingwang, I'm old and can't work anymore. I rely on the third son for the rest of my life. Can you please pity me and die early? I beg you, please don't hold the third son and me back..."
Pretending to pedal the bike with difficulty, Lin Xiaoman slowly passed by and watched the miserable plight of his enemy.
Li Sansao was seen crying loudly and pouring water on Li Xingwang to disperse the filth that had already solidified.
The dilapidated cowshed was against the wall on one side and leaky on three sides. It had only a thatched roof to keep out the rain. A worn wooden board was placed on the ground next to the wall. Li Xingwang, who was soaking wet, was lying on his back on the board, wearing only a pair of large shorts.
His cheeks were sunken, his ribs were protruding, and his arms and thighs were so thin they looked like bamboo poles. Li Xingwang had become so emaciated that he was no longer human, a mere skeleton covered in skin.
"Tsk tsk, that's too miserable!"
Lin Xiaoman, who was passing by, sighed lightly. Li Xingwang, who heard the sound, turned his head with difficulty. After seeing Lin Xiaoman, he didn't know whether he wanted to curse or ask for help. Li Xingwang widened his eyes, like a skeleton with its eyes open. He opened his mouth and made a few sounds, "Chihu, Chihu..."
Mrs. Li San turned her head to look at Lin Xiaoman and cursed, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a paralytic?", then she looked away.
"Xingwang, just accept your fate. Who would want to raise a paralytic? The village chief isn't willing to help us anymore. Mother can't do anything about it. You... don't blame me! Blame yourself. Who made you get bit by a snake? Who made you paralyzed..."
After washing away the filth without drying it, Mrs. Li San lamented a few words and left with the bucket.
