Huo Xiaoyan thought angrily.
That damned woman, she got pregnant but didn't tell her, causing her eldest grandson to suffer.
Huo Xiaoyan didn't think the pesticide would affect her eldest grandson. In her eyes, Liu Cuicui, the mother, was fine, so what could possibly happen to the baby in her belly?
Therefore, she did not mention the pesticide to Qian Youfu.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad thing if I said it out loud?
After paying and getting the medicine, Huo Xiaoyan carried Liu Cuicui back home.
When Liu Cuicui woke up at home, she looked at the steamed egg custard placed in front of her on the dining table and was still somewhat incredulous.
In particular, her eyes welled up with tears after hearing Huo Xiaoyan say that the food was for her.
But she didn't think Huo Xiaoyan had a change of heart. Instead, she felt that she had been foolish before, thinking that she should try to please this old hag and stand up to her.
The next day, someone came to her door, and Liu Cuicui learned that she was pregnant. Now, she was even more confident and would often grab Huo Xiaoyan and fight.
Considering the precious grandson in Liu Cuicui's belly, Huo Xiaoyan was seething with anger, while Liu Cuicui felt incredibly relieved to see Huo Xiaoyan's frustrated expression, as if saying, "You hate me, but you can't hit me or scold me."
However, her comfortable days didn't last long before Huo Xiaoyan, who had come up with a solution, took action.
That afternoon, as soon as Huo Xiaoyan got home, she exchanged a glance with Huo Yan and then deliberately provoked Liu Cuicui, before they started yelling at each other.
Of course, Huo Xiaoyan cursed very softly, and cleverly whispered in Liu Cuicui's ear. She only raised her voice when she felt wronged.
After drinking the sweet soup that Huo Yan had brewed for her, Liu Cuicui, whose eyelids were already heavy, was quite agitated. She trembled all over and cursed back.
When he heard that the political commissar's daughter had taken a liking to Huo Jun, he became even more furious and swung his hand to slap her, but Huo Xiaoyan did not dodge.
The next second after the crisp slap rang out, everything went black before her eyes, and she collapsed to the ground.
Before she completely lost consciousness, Liu Cuicui only saw that her lower body was covered in blood by her sister-in-law, Huo Yan.
"Yan'er, you lie on the bed with this slut in your arms. I'll call the barefoot doctor over in a bit. Stretch out your hand, understand?" Huo Xiaoyan whispered again, still worried.
"Mom, don't worry."
What happened after that was beyond Liu Cuicui's control.
She was given sleeping pills by Huo Xiaoyan and fell into a deep sleep, unconscious.
Soon after, news of Liu Cuicui's miscarriage spread throughout the brigade.
That day, when Huo Xiaoyan rushed out of the yard, everyone saw the pool of blood on the ground and the slap mark on Huo Xiaoyan's face. Coupled with the words they heard outside the yard, they all believed Huo Xiaoyan's explanation that "Liu Cuicui hit her too hard, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground, bleeding."
No one doubted that the amount of bleeding was fake.
Four or five days later, the devastating news came that the person had not survived, and everyone sighed in despair.
I heard that Qian Youfu died before he could get there.
When they went to visit her, seeing Liu Cuicui's pale face, everyone told Huo Xiaoyan to relax, but once they left the courtyard, they gathered together and started talking about it.
"Xiaoyan, she must be upset because she didn't take good care of her daughter-in-law, that's why..."
"That's right. Childbirth is a long period of recovery, while miscarriage is a short period of recovery. You lose so much blood and have no one to take care of you, so it's easy for something to go wrong."
As everyone talked about this, no one doubted that Huo Xiaoyan had killed the person. After all, no matter how much she made things difficult for her daughter-in-law, it was just a way for her to show off her power as a mother-in-law. But killing someone meant taking a living life.
Qian Youfu had some doubts, especially since Huo Xiaoyan was stopping him, muttering that he shouldn't cause trouble and kill people.
Was he absolutely certain of her death? Was there any hope of saving her? After all, he checked her pulse a few days ago and confirmed that she had miscarried, but her body was perfectly healthy.
But after Huo Xiaoyan chased after him and cursed him for being a quack doctor, for prescribing bad medicine, and for causing him trouble, he didn't dare to insist anymore.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
...
After that, Liu Cuicui began her life of being tied up in the cellar and given sleeping pills every day after meals.
Until Su Wantang arrived at the Huo family that day, Liu Cuicui regained some of her senses first. Huo Yan came down in a hurry and only had time to make Liu Cuicui drink the water laced with sleeping pills. As soon as she left, Liu Cuicui vomited.
After that, for some reason, Huo Yan stopped giving her sleeping pills and often stuffed a rag into her mouth and pricked her with a thick needle for almost a whole day.
When Liu Cuicui was being tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, she heard the words, "The police are here."
But now that the police have left, she's completely dejected.
suddenly.
She remembered something.
The police left, and Huo Xiaoyan and Huo Yan also left.
Liu Cuicui excitedly pushed open the cellar lid, and crawled out despite her hands and feet being bound and twisted like a pretzel.
She found the knife, cut the rope, and ran out of the village.
Even though she was seeing stars and felt like her feet were floating on cotton, she didn't dare to stop.
She had only run a few hundred meters out of the village when a taxi pulled up.
