Chapter 115: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (2)
When the child was three months old, some rumors began to spread in the village. Li Ling walked around the village and pretended not to hear them. She didn't have the confidence to argue with those people because what they said was true.
Liu Shufen couldn't stand it after hearing this. She asked around and found out that it was Yang Fu's cousin who had drunk too much and blurted out everything.
That night, Liu Shufen climbed over the wall into the yard of Yang Fu's cousin's house, and frightened Yang Yuan, who was having sex with his wife in the house, so much that he fainted.
Her original intention was to warn Yang Yuan not to talk nonsense, but she never expected that her scare would backfire.
Yang Yuan was frightened to the point of becoming completely impotent. He had been married to his wife for over a year and they only had one daughter. Yang Yuan's father knew that his son was dying and that his first wife would be extinct, so he immediately gave up and took a pickaxe to kill Liu Shufen with the hoe, and then take back the child born to Li Ling.
The eldest and second sons of the Yang family started doing it in broad daylight in the village.
When Li Ling returned home after finishing her farm work, she saw from afar that her mother-in-law and her uncle were rolling on the ground arguing with each other. A group of people were surrounding them to watch the fun, including her husband and her father-in-law.
Her child was being held by her sister-in-law and running towards her home.
Li Ling caught up with her sister-in-law, carrying a hoe, and forced her to put the child down. No matter who the child's father was, the child was hers because she gave birth to him.
Perhaps Li Ling's desperate aura frightened her sister-in-law, so she put the child on the ground and ran away.
Li Ling threw away the pickaxe and hurried forward to pick up the child. Feeling the softness of the child in her arms, she couldn't help crying. This was the first time she held the child after he was born.
Because she protected the child, for a long time afterwards, her mother-in-law rarely scolded her, was no longer wary of her like before, and would occasionally let her look after the child.
Just when she thought everything was going well, the child suddenly died.
At night, Yang Fu took the child out of the house while his parents were asleep.
Liu Shufen broke three willow branches and asked him where he had sent the child. Yang Fu was determined not to say a word.
Now that the child was gone, the villagers gradually stopped talking about Yang Fu being a cuckold, and they started gossiping about where the child had gone.
Yang Fu's hunched back finally straightened up again.
At night, Li Ling lay on the earthen kang, staring at Yang Fu with her eyes fixed on the moonlight shining into the room through the gap in the window.
After watching for a while, she took out a sickle from under the quilt and cut Yang Fu's neck as neatly as she usually cut the grass.
In just a few seconds, Yang Fu's pillow was stained red with blood. He was awakened by the pain and subconsciously covered his bleeding neck with his hands, unable to even shout for help.
Li Ling, who was standing by, watched Yang Fu breathe his last. The smile on her face was hideous and sinister, and looked extremely creepy under the moonlight.
She touched her swollen belly, picked up the bloody sickle, and stabbed it hard.
She is pregnant again.
Because of what Yang Fu's eldest cousin had let slip before, her mother-in-law did not seek help from outsiders this time.
After the child was lost, Li Ling suddenly figured everything out. Her husband would not allow other people's children to call him dad, and her mother-in-law would want a child no matter what.
She may experience the pain of losing a child again or even multiple times in the future. She can no longer bear the process of pregnancy or the pain of losing a child.
So she chose to be free.
When Liu Shufen came to call them in the morning, the two people on the bed had already died without anyone noticing.
Liu Shufen buried her son with curses. As for Li Ling, she rolled her body up in a straw mat and carried her to Li Ling's parents' home with the old man.
When Li Lingniang saw her daughter being carried back on a straw mat, she secretly shed a few tears and did not dare to say a word in front of her daughter-in-law.
The villagers disagreed with burying Li Ling, a married woman and a murderer, in the ancestral tomb. Li Ling's brother had no choice but to secretly dig a hole in the woods at the east end of the village at night and buried her hastily.
A few years after Yang Fu passed away, the body of a child was suddenly found in the deep mountains and forests of the neighboring village. In that era, it was common for people to have no food and abandon their children, and the villagers basically did not take it seriously.
After hearing this, Liu Shufen ran all the way to Lao Lin in the next village.
When she saw the bundle containing the child, she staggered and fell to her knees. She recognized the bundle; it was the one she had sewn to wrap her grandson.
Liu Shufen took the child's body home and buried it next to her son. She wanted him not to rest in peace even after death.
Liu Shufen and the old man lived their lives as usual, without any changes.
——
Wanzai: "Boss, the original owner's wish is that she doesn't want to be beaten by her mother-in-law anymore, and she doesn't want to have children anymore."
Muyan walked to the window and saw through the glass that Liu Shufen, who was acting like a scoundrel outside the yard, had disappeared, and the yellow smoke that filled the yard had also dissipated a lot.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Liu Shufen came in with a few willow branches and walked into the yard angrily through the gate.
When Liu Shufen saw her, she raised the willow branch and whipped it towards Muyan without saying a word.
Mu Yan turned sideways to avoid the willow branch thrown by Liu Shufen, and the next second, she moved in front of Liu Shufen at lightning speed.
Liu Shufen was so shocked by her amazing speed that her mouth opened wide.
Muyan quickly moved to the windowsill in the yard, picked up a straw sandal that belonged to Yang Fu or Yang Fu's father, and stuffed it into Liu Shufen's mouth.
The straw sandals have been exposed to the sun and don't have much smell, but they are definitely prickly.
Mu Yan pinched Liu Shufen's chin with one hand to prevent her from moving, and slashed at Liu Shufen's shoulder with the other hand.
Although her shoulder was not dislocated, Liu Shufen was in so much pain that she couldn't lift it up.
Liu Shufen had a straw sandal stuffed in her mouth and her words were unclear, but it could be seen from her dark face that what she said was not a good thing.
"Hey, Shufen, why did the sun rise from the west today? It was held down by my daughter-in-law." The neighbor went up to the roof to collect dried vegetable leaves. Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing in the yard, he stopped collecting the leaves and squatted on the roof to watch the fun.
"Shufen, didn't you cut the willow branches to give your daughter-in-law a good look? Where are the willow branches? They were not used," the neighbor was still gloating. Liu Shufen was unable to move, and cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.
Muyan glanced at the willow branches on the ground, suddenly released the hand that was holding Liu Shufen, and bent down to pick up the willow branches on the ground.
The pincer-like hand on her lower jaw was gone. Liu Shufen immediately took the straw sandals out of her mouth and began to retch while standing in the yard.
While she was retching, she was also wondering what happened to Li Ling.
Finally, Liu Shufen concluded that Li Ling was possessed by some evil spirit due to her sudden abnormal behavior.
