Chapter 72
Li Aifeng was slapped unexpectedly. She covered her face and cried out, "Mother-in-law, why are you hitting me?!"
Sun's mother was no longer as friendly as before. She sneered, "I hit you, a thief! Country people are country people. They are still low-born when they come to town. Dogs can't change their eating habits! Spit out my rice dumplings!"
Sun's mother called her low-born again and again. Her tone was full of contempt. The confidence that Li Aifeng had just built up in front of the Sun family was shattered by her scolding.
Especially before Li Aifeng came to the town, she told the women in the village that she came to the town to enjoy the good life. Now, she didn't enjoy the good life, but ate a few broken rice dumplings. Sun's mother scolded her like a country woman and told her to get out.
How could Li Aifeng get out so easily?
In fact, the reason why she ate the rice dumplings was that she couldn't control her mouth and didn't eat such good food in the countryside. She had to eat enough this time. Secondly, she also had the intention of revenge. Sun's mother treated her as a nanny who cleaned the house, so she stole the rice dumplings from Sun's family. Who's nanny dared to take the food of the master's family?
If she was caught, she would be a dirty hand!
She was different. Her daughter-in-law was the daughter-in-law of Sun's family. They were one family. It was natural for a mother to eat the rice dumplings eaten by her daughter-in-law.
Therefore, when Li Aifeng was feeding her daughter-in-law rice dumplings, she had a secret revenge on her mother-in-law. She was strong and could eat and drink. She ate six rice dumplings in one breath. The glutinous rice made her choke.
Li Aifeng also found the maltose in Sun's cabinet and soaked a large jar of maltose. She drank it all up. She thought it tasted really good. She simply stuffed the jar of maltose into her bag and planned to take it home to drink.
Li Aifeng started to yell at grandson's mother in a rage, and the verbal fight escalated into physical violence.
Women's fights are nothing more than the same old three things: pulling hair, pinching necks, and slapping. Grandson's mother
was no match for Li Aifeng, who worked in the fields all year round, and she was beaten up after a few rounds.
Many neighbors in the family compound heard the commotion, opened their doors, and stood at the door to watch the excitement.
Grandson's mother, a street women's director, was pinned down and beaten by Li Aifeng. Lin Hongna, who was resting in the room, was woken up by the noise. She went out with her belly in her arms and saw her mother-in-law and her own mother fighting, rolling on the ground and swearing at each other. Lin
Hongna looked very unhappy, and she walked over to persuade them to stop fighting.
Sun's mother and Li Aifeng ignored her. Li Aifeng pulled Sun's mother's hair and refused
to let go. Sun's mother's face was distorted with pain, and she stretched out her hand to pinch Li Aifeng's face. Li Aifeng screamed, covered her face and leaned back. Sun's mother kicked her in the stomach. Lin Hongna, who was pregnant, happened to be standing behind Li Aifeng. Li Aifeng's head hit Lin Hongna's raised abdomen.
Lin Hongna felt as if there was an iron hook in her abdomen, hooking her down, and the pain was excruciating. There was bright red blood on her legs. Sun's mother didn't see this scene and wanted to fight with Li Aifeng again.
Li Aifeng felt a sticky hand, and when she looked down, she found that her hands were full of blood.
Lin Hongna was lying on the ground unconscious, with a pool of blood under her stomach.
Li Aifeng screamed and hurried to shake Lin Hongna, "Nana, Nana, what's wrong with you, my dear girl, don't scare me!"
Grandmother: "She's about to give birth, hurry up and send her to the hospital!"
The two middle-aged women stopped making a fuss. After Grandmother's shout, the neighbors hiding in the cracks of the door also rushed out to help, as it was a matter of life and death.
Besides, if Lin Hongna died in the family compound, the neighbors would think it was unlucky if the news got out.
Everyone rushed to carry the unconscious Lin Hongna and sent her to the town health hospital.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Hongna, who had been in pain all night, gave birth to a son weighing less than four pounds prematurely.
Although she had a long-cherished grandson, the child was covered in bruises and had a pale face when he was taken out of the delivery room. The health facilities in the town were poor, so the child was sent to the provincial hospital for treatment overnight. The grandson's family was worried. The grandson's mother looked at her grandson and heard the doctor say that he might not be saved. She immediately fainted.
Well, Lin Hongna was still lying in the delivery room, and the grandson's mother went in again.
As for the troublemaker Li Aifeng, she hid in the hospital and listened to the general situation. When she heard that her grandson's life was in danger and saw the murderous eyes of the Sun family, she felt a chill on her neck. She ran back to the Sun family with her bag rolled up, took ten yuan from the Sun family, and slipped back to the Dongfanghong Production Team.
Regarding the important matter of the Sun family's continuation of the family line, the Sun family went to the provincial capital, leaving only Sun Jiarong to take care of the grandson's mother in the town hospital and take care of Lin Hongna.
The grandson of the Sun family was treated in the provincial hospital for two days and was finally saved. The Sun family just breathed a sigh of relief, and the words of the doctor in the provincial hospital made them feel anxious again.
"This child is premature, and he suffered a severe impact in the mother's womb, lung infection, and physical weakness. He needs to be carefully taken care of in the future. Even if he grows up safely, he cannot do physical labor. Try not to let the child get tired. You must be aware of this..."
The doctor's words were very straightforward, meaning that this child would be a sickly child who would pant for every three steps he took. How could such a child bring honor to the Sun family!
Sun Jiayu couldn't help but curse in the hospital, cursing Li Aifeng for giving birth to a grandson without eyesight and harming her precious nephew.
Sun's father sat on a bench in the hospital, crying silently.
And Sun Jialiang watched his son lying on the bed with tubes all over his body, and his heart ached.
Although he is not a good man, it does not mean that Sun Jialiang is not a good father. This child is his first child. Only a father can truly understand the feeling of being a father.
Sun Jialiang stayed with his son in the hospital for three days, taking care of his son at night without sleep, for fear that his son would be gone in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Sun's father relaxed his brows. After all, they are blood relatives. Sun Jialiang's current performance makes the father feel relieved.
Three days later, the child's physical condition stabilized. Sun Jiayu asked in the hospital, what should be done with Li Aifeng, the instigator?
Sun Jialiang, with a scruffy face, squeezed out two words from his teeth.
"Call the police!"
If you dare to harm his son, no matter who you are, you will be taken to the police station.
In response, Sun Jiayu raised his hands in agreement.
Sun's father was silent for a while, then sighed and acquiesced.
In those days, the people were simple and honest. The government called on the people to be self-reliant and to create a better life with their own hands. Everyone was proud of being hardworking and self-reliant. If a thief appeared in a family, they would be scolded.
Moreover, the crime of theft was not light, and Li Aifeng's crime of causing injury to others due to theft was even more serious.
Li Aifeng ran back home and was in a state of panic for the past few days. She knew that she had gotten into trouble. The grandson's family would not be merciful. She was thinking, what if? What
if the eldest grandson was fine? The grandson's family would be happy and not pursue the matter. As the old saying goes, seven lives and eight lives. The eldest grandson stayed in the daughter's belly for seven months. In a few years, she would come to the door to pay compensation and apologize, and the family could still live happily.
Li Aifeng was delusional and could not sleep well at home. In her dreams, there were strange things. One moment, a baby was lying there covered in blood, and the next moment, the grandson's family came to hunt her down. In just a few days, Li Aifeng became haggard.
When several young police officers in police uniforms appeared at the Dongfanghong Production Team,
Li Aifeng seemed to be frightened. Her face changed when she saw the police, and she was taken away by the police while trembling.
Lin Daguo was startled, and Lin Hongwu chased him out.
Li Aifeng's voice was shrill, and she kicked her arms and legs and struggled, "I didn't commit any crime, why did you arrest me, Hongwu, save my mother!"
The police comrades were all tall and strong, and the noisy Li Aifeng was like a chick in their hands, not worth mentioning.
The villagers of the Dongfanghong Production Team saw that there was a show to watch in the village, and they all walked around the village in dresses, but in fact they all stretched their necks to see what was going on with the old Lin family.
The police comrades took Li Aifeng to the police car, and the eyes of the group were as big as cowbells.
It's terrible, Li Aifeng is going to jail!
*
It's May again, and this is the second year since Lin Yao traveled through time.
At this time last year, Lin Yao was still a newly married young wife, and she had never met her step-husband.
This year, she is pregnant with Deputy Director Gu's baby. The fate of life is really magical and unpredictable.
This year's summer came early. It's already hot in May. At noon, Gujiaao was shrouded in hot air, and the leaves of the elm trees outside the window were curled up due to the heat.
The vigorous steel smelting movement outside has temporarily stopped.
The reason is simple, it's just too hot these days.
The sudden high temperature, coupled with the fact that during the steel smelting, workers had to get close to the earthen stoves, the orange flames baked the earth, and the heat waves were so intense that people fainted from the heat. In just a few days, many members were sent to the hospital for heat stroke.
The higher-ups had to temporarily stop the steel smelting.
Zhang Cuilan was a little worried these days, but Lin Yao was eating and drinking well at home, so she was naturally not worried.
The mother was worried about her second daughter, Chunmei.
Gu Chunmei had been pregnant for more than seven months, and now she was in the third trimester of pregnancy, so she would be unborn in a few weeks.
Gu Chunmei's day of suffering came. Her belly was unusually large. The enlarged uterus pressed upwards, reducing the stomach capacity, causing gastric acid reflux. She vomited everything she ate.
She went to the hospital and saw the doctor.
Xu's mother thought her daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins. The doctor laughed when he heard it. How could there be twins with only one fetal heartbeat? Why was her belly so big?
Gu Chunmei had a big appetite during her pregnancy. Xu's mother tried her best to nourish her. There were greasy things in the house that others could not eat, but Gu Chunmei could eat. Didn't she eat so much that her belly became big?
Gu Chunmei was not like Lin Yao, who insisted on taking a walk at home every day.
Xu's mother regretted it very much. She was uneducated and didn't know the ins and outs of this. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law couldn't eat or sleep.
The county health hospital had no other options but to have Gu Chunmei injected with glucose in the hospital, sleep with a pillow, exercise every day, drink more nutritious and light food, and it was okay if she couldn't eat, just eat small meals frequently, and there would always be a meal she could finish.
Lin Yao went to see Gu Chunmei once, and when the sisters saw each other, their eyes were filled with tears.
The two sisters had both suffered because of pregnancy, and they hadn't seen each other for several months, so it was inevitable that they hugged each other and cried emotionally.
Big Head Brother, this conspicuous guy, was still being attentive to his wife, bringing her water and coming to see her from time to time.
When Gu Chunmei saw him, she was so angry that she couldn't help but vent her anger.
If it wasn't for giving birth to a child for this dog man, would she have to suffer like this?
So Xu Xiangqian scolded his wife.
Deputy Director Gu was smart, silently standing by as a background.
In the evening, Zhang Cuilan was taking care of her daughter in the hospital. Gu Mancang was worried and stayed as well.
Gu Shian and his wife returned home. Gu Shidong was very happy at home. He was so excited to see his elder brother and his wife.
Lin Yao had been sitting in a donkey cart all the way. His butt was sore. He was thirsty and hungry, and the little thing in his stomach was kicking.
There was nothing to eat at home this time. Gu Shian went to the kitchen to cook two boiled eggs and poured in some boiled water that had been dried at home. Lin Yao ate two eggs in one breath, drank a cup of sweet boiled water, got out of bed and planned to take a walk.
Gu Shidong came running over, "Sister-in-law, I'll support you, I'll support you."
Lin Yao smiled, "Oh, our Dongzi has grown up."
Dongzi grinned.
In the afternoon, Lin Yao found out that the bad boy was greedy for rabbit meat, and wanted to ask sister-in-law to ask his brother to kill a rabbit and stew the meat.
Now the Gu family has a nest of rabbits of all sizes, about 20 in total. So many rabbits eat several baskets of wild vegetables a day. The grass that Dongzi cut in the morning was eaten up by the rabbits at noon. The bad boy sighed and had to carry the basket to cut grass in the afternoon. He was so tired that he grinned every day and complained to his sister-in-law that he was tired. Rabbits
reproduce very quickly, and Lin Yao did not plan to raise too many, just enough to eat.
In the yard, Gu Shian rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and slender arms to fetch water, chop wood and feed the rabbits.
Lin Yao picked two plump rabbits and asked Deputy Director Gu to kill the cute little guys, one braised and one steamed.
The rabbits haven't been killed yet, but Dongzi is salivating over them.
Lin Yao is also craving for meat, and she hasn't eaten meat for half a month.
Old man Gu Jiaao said that pregnant wives can't eat rabbit meat, for fear that the child will have a three-lobed mouth.
Therefore, if a family in the village occasionally catches a wild rabbit, the whole family will gather around the dining table to grab the rabbit meat, but the pregnant wife will hide in the house and can't eat it.
Eating it is not good for the baby in the belly. We don't let you eat meat for your own good, for the sake of the descendants of the old x family.
Bullshit.
Cleft lip is a physical defect caused by congenital genes. Maybe it is caused by the inferior genes passed down from your family. It may have something to do with eating rabbit meat.
Besides, in the years of famine, we should be thankful for rabbit meat.
He was still practicing feudal superstition and talking nonsense. If anyone talked nonsense in front of Lin Yao, he would be beaten.
Huaihua Ma from the village in front gave the Gu family a bunch of dried pickled mustard greens. Dried pickled mustard greens tasted best when stewed with meat.
Zhang Cuilan brought back a bunch of peas picked from her own vegetable garden. In the evening, the kitchen was stewing fragrant pickled mustard greens and rabbit meat. The mint transplanted from the yard was growing lushly.
Lin Yao poured water on the mint and sat under the loquat tree to rest. The loquat tree had lush branches and leaves, like a big umbrella. Gu Shian made a small table for his wife and put two bamboo chairs on it. Fruits and tea were placed on the small table. Daju lay beside her. The chickens at home clucked and walked around outside the fence. Lin Yao sat on the bamboo chair and looked out over the fence. The rolling green water and green mountains in the distance really gave her the feeling of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains.
In the evening, the family ate stewed potatoes with preserved vegetables, and their mouths were full of oil.
Lin Yao was satisfied with the food she ate. Gu Shian held his wife, who was getting plump, and tasted it briefly in the evening, and was also very satisfied.
Lin Yao's eyes turned red, she regretted that she shouldn't have said too much. What did she say to the bastard? A pregnant woman could do that...
what does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot?
Lin Yao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. While someone was sleeping with his eyes closed, she stretched out her white and tender hands to pinch him. As a result, after pinching several times, the person didn't move at all, nothing happened.
Gu Shi'an smiled in the dark, turned over and stretched out his big hands, and Lin Yao was hugged in his arms again.
"......."
In June, good news came from Yunshui County. Gu Chunmei gave birth!
