The accident was indeed quite unexpected.
This was something no one expected.
Before deciding where to send Yuehuai, it was naturally impossible to tell Yuehuai.
Therefore, meals are naturally eaten together as a family.
Aside from Li Mingfan's wife, who needs to recover after childbirth.
Le Shi is at work and hasn't come back.
Li Mingfan was found by Chi Dashan. He had a gloomy face, was listless, and wouldn't talk to anyone.
The meal was both dull and nerve-wracking.
After lunch, everyone took a nap.
But just as everyone had fallen asleep, they suddenly heard Le Huai's heart-wrenching scream coming from outside!
And there was also Sister-in-law Chi's panicked and fearful voice:
"ah!!!!"
"Joyful! Joyful!"
Chi Dashan suddenly opened his eyes, immediately got off the kang (a heated brick bed), and ran out quickly. He saw his wife kneeling on the ground, while Le Huai, whose body and face were covered in blisters and were red as if she had been boiled, was lying on the ground!
Next to it, a wooden basin was upside down on the ground, with water spilled all over the floor.
"Quick, Dashan, take Lehuai to town to see a doctor!"
"Sister-in-law Chi said in horror, her eyes seemed to be bleeding, and she looked very frightening."
"Oh my god, Yuehuai! What's wrong with you?"
"Joyful!"
As soon as Aunt Li came out, she saw Le Huai curled up unconscious on the ground like a boiled shrimp. After wailing twice, he passed out straight!
"grandmother!"
"mother!"
Without a second thought, Chi Dashan immediately drove out the oxcart, laid out the bedding, and then put Aunt Li and Le Huai on the oxcart. All the men in the family followed.
Sister-in-law Chi wanted to go with them, but as soon as she stood up, her legs went weak and she almost fell.
Startled, Chi Dashan quickly told her to wait at home.
"Little sister, what's going on?"
Li Mingfan's wife was utterly shocked to see Chi Dasao looking so distraught.
She had just seen Le Huai's miserable state.
To be honest, even though she liked Le Huai so much, seeing Le Huai's appearance just now made her feel a little uncomfortable...
Sister-in-law Chi gave a bitter smile: "Le Huai..."
It turned out that while everyone was taking a nap, Sister-in-law Chi was thinking of boiling a pot of hot water so that she could help her sister-in-law wash up.
As soon as the water boiled, Sister-in-law Chi brought a wooden basin, filled it halfway with boiling water, and then turned around to add some cold water.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she would bump into Le Huai, who had been standing there for who knows how long!
It's tilted, as if some force is exerting pressure from below the wooden basin...
Finally, the wooden basin was overturned, and most of the boiling water inside was spilled onto Le Huai!
"...Even if they bumped into each other, how could someone who works all year round not have any strength in their hands? You said you felt like something bumped into you from under the wooden basin, which is why you couldn't hold it steady, then..."
The two women, aunt and sister-in-law, met eyes, their expressions a mixture of shock, disbelief, and...fear!
That's right!
Both the aunt and sister-in-law now suspect that Le Huai did it on purpose!
They deliberately knocked over the wooden basin!
Such a young child, yet he's willing to risk everything to achieve his goals!
This is absolutely terrifying!
"...But why? Why would Le Huai deliberately knock over the wooden basin? That was boiling water! It must have hurt so much! Or maybe we've suspected the wrong person?"
Even with the previous miscarriage, Li Mingfan's wife wasn't entirely sure that Le Huai had done it on purpose.
After all, that's boiling water!
If you splash it on someone, wouldn't their skin be torn and bleeding?
They all need to be cooked, right?
"...I think Le Huai probably overheard my conversation with my parents." Sister-in-law Chi was very annoyed.
Why didn't you confirm whether Le Huai had actually left before telling your parents those things?
"Your conversation with your parents?"
“Yes,” Sister-in-law Chi looked at Li Mingfan’s wife and answered calmly, “I told my parents that we must send Le Huai away and we must separate the family.”
Li Mingfan's wife was so shocked that she sat up abruptly, her face showing a mixture of ecstasy, disbelief, and gratitude.
"Sister, sister, how could you, how could you..."
“Sister-in-law, I’m not just doing this for you, but also for my brother, my two nephews, and my parents… If Lehuai isn’t sent away, there will be no peace in the family.”
That being said, Sister-in-law Chi was indeed the first person to express her support and belief in herself!
Li Mingfan's wife was moved to tears: "Sister, you're like this, you're like this..."
"Do we have to be so distant with each other? Sister-in-law, please don't cry. You're in postpartum confinement. If you ruin your eyes from crying, it'll be a lifelong problem."
"Uh-huh."
Li Mingfan's wife cried like a child, but perhaps because it was a happy occasion, she quickly composed herself.
After carefully wiping away her tears, she felt a headache coming on when she thought about the current situation.
"With Lehuai like this now... I'm afraid Mother won't want to send Lehuai away."
——
That's right!
The first thing Aunt Li said after returning home was to pull Sister-in-law Chi to the big tree in the yard and say with a cold face:
"We can't let Yue Huai go!"
That poor child, his skin and flesh were burned off!
Remembering the time in the pharmacy when she was applying medicine to Le Huai, and Le Huai's heart-wrenching cries, it made Aunt Li's heart bleed.
“Mother, if this hadn’t happened, I might still have hesitated. But after this incident, Le Huai has to be sent away! There’s no room for discussion!”
Sister-in-law Chi is tough on the hands, and even tougher on the words!
