Although we were happy, with three more children in the family, the cost of food and drink also increased accordingly.
What was originally an ordinary family gradually became a "poor household". As the head of the family, Li Aniu went out early and came back late, just to ensure that his wife and children would not go hungry.
Li Aniu's mother was no less eager, either working in the fields or searching for food in the mountains, fearing her children would starve. Consequently, all household affairs fell under the control of Wang.
After giving birth to a son, Wang became more confident and her treatment of her previous child had changed a lot. However, she was a good person and always behaved well in front of her mother-in-law and husband.
However, as the child grew older and ate more and more, Wang's attitude towards the child became more than just dislike.
There was only so much food at home every day. If the older child ate more, the younger child would definitely eat less. This made Wang very unwilling and she wanted the child not to exist.
"Who is Wang?"
Liu rarely goes out, and she hasn't gotten to know everyone in the village yet.
"You've seen that person before. Didn't she bring her deceased child here to seek medical treatment a few days ago? But in the end, she couldn't bear the money, so she didn't get the treatment?"
The village chief also knew that Liu rarely interacted with the villagers, so he explained.
"Oh, it's her!"
It was the woman whose child was vomiting worms and just kept crying. She refused to take medicine when asked to do so, and she was reluctant to take the child to the county town to see a doctor.
Liu was deeply impressed by her. At that time, she felt that her feelings towards the child were strange. It turned out that the child was not her biological child!
"Has the child died of illness?"
The village chief glanced at Lin Shiyu. A little kid calling an older kid a child, this...
Moreover, Lin Anru's daughter was too calm when she mentioned the word "death".
Maybe it’s because he is too young and doesn’t understand the meaning of this word, the village chief thought.
"He really died of illness..."
Wang brought her child to see a doctor. Aniu and the others knew about it and gave Wang some money.
Wang got the silver, but she didn't look at it at Lin Shiyu's place or go to the county town. Instead, she embezzled the silver.
At that time, Lin Shiyu warned her to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She thought Lin Shiyu was exaggerating, and with a lucky mentality, she thought the child would not die, so she embezzled the money as her private money.
After returning to the Li family, Wang was vague in front of her mother-in-law and husband. The Li family thought that she had taken the child to see a doctor and stopped paying attention to the child's condition.
It was not until the child died that Aniu's mother questioned why Wang took her grandson to see a doctor, but he still died in the end. Was it because she did not take the child with her?
Niu's mother had long suspected this. After Wang returned with her grandson, she hadn't smelled any medicine in the house, nor had she seen any residue. Even though she was out early and back late, she was practically always out, so it couldn't be that she hadn't seen or smelled anything at all.
Wang was already panicked by the death of her child. After all, she just wanted the child to die, but she didn't really want him to die.
The death of her child, the questioning of her mother-in-law, and the embezzlement of medical money made her panic and guilty. Her first reaction was to get herself out of the situation.
Having been divorced once, she doesn't want to be divorced again.
So, she subconsciously put the blame on Lin Anru.
It is said that Lin Anru refused to take the child to see a doctor because when Lin Anru borrowed money to take the imperial examination, Aniu did not lend him the money, and Lin Anru held a grudge against him.
As for the money, she said that it was stolen by a pickpocket on the way to the county town with her child. She was afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law and husband, so she was vague about it.
As soon as she said this, Ah Niu believed it. However, because he was young and ignorant at the time, when Lin Anru asked him to borrow money, he not only refused to lend it to her, but also ridiculed her.
What he said at that time was very unpleasant. It was also because of this that after he matured a little, he no longer had any contact with Lin Anru and would avoid him whenever he met him.
So when Wang said that Lin Anru hated him, he didn't need to verify it.
But even if Lin Anru hated him, she couldn't joke with the child's life. They were not mortal enemies.
This was his first child. He had paid a lot for this child and had the deepest feelings for him. So he kicked the door of the Lin family.
"This incident was his wife's fault. The villagers who were present at the time explained to him what happened, and he went back to confront his wife."
Most of the villagers in the village were there when this happened. If one person said something, Aniu wouldn't believe it. Even if ten or a hundred people said something, Aniu wouldn't believe it.
Aniu's home.
Wang felt a pang in her heart when she saw her husband running out in a hurry.
Something bad is going to happen!!
She pushed the blame onto Lin Anru, but she regretted it as soon as she gave the reason.
There were so many villagers there that day, and if Ah Niu just randomly found a villager to verify what she said, he would be exposed.
She prayed that her husband wouldn't run into any villagers on the way, that he would go straight to Lin Anru to "settle the score" and then come back. She also prayed that he wouldn't run into anyone else on the way back, and that if he did, he wouldn't ask why Ah Niu was so angry.
Nowadays, every family has lost a few children. After a long time, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will gradually fade.
Outsiders would not mention the dead doll in front of the owner unless they had any grudges against each other. After a long time, the matter would be forgotten.
After being married for so many years, Wang had some understanding of her husband's temper. When he was angry, he would not listen to anyone and would only fight with the person who made him angry.
Of course, while she was praying, she also prepared for the worst: she wanted to count the reasons and be prepared for the possibility of being exposed.
The longer A Niu was away, the longer she made up excuses in her mind. Gradually, she made the excuses flawless and only breathed a sigh of relief after estimating her losses to the lowest level.
Aniu's mother was immersed in the thought of her eldest grandson who had passed away, and had no intention of paying any attention to Wang, giving Wang plenty of time to think.
After rehearsing it over in her mind several times to make sure there were no problems, she sat quietly beside Aniu's mother and waited for Aniu to come back.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the door. Wang knew that it was Aniu who came back. Even though she had done it several times, she was still a little nervous and ran to open the door anxiously.
As soon as the door opened, what came into view was a dense crowd of heads. It was obvious with one's toes that the conspiracy was exposed.
"Aniu, you..."
"ah!"
Wang was just about to act out the scene she had imagined, but Aniu didn't give her a chance to perform and kicked her away.
This scared Aniu's mother, who was wiping her tears. She stood up and prepared to help her daughter-in-law without caring about the tears that were still dripping.
