"When I first got married, the Li family treated me very well. They never beat or scolded me. But as Daya and Erya were born one after another, Li Dagui started to scold me for not being able to give birth to a son and being a hen that didn't lay eggs. He started beating and kicking me every day. The other members of the Li family also looked down on me and made me do all the housework."
"I'm not afraid of working, but those people in the Li family are simply beasts. They won't let me go back to my parents' home, won't let me tell you, and even said that if I tell you, they'll kick me out. I... Mom, it's all my fault for being timid. I'm afraid they'll kick me out of the Li family."
"Two days ago, Dad came to tell me that you were getting married and asked me to go home. The Li family didn't agree with my return at first, but last night, Li Dagui brought the village widow Liu back home and happily said that he was going to have a son!"
"Just like that, their whole family kicked us four out."
"Mom, Duoduo, what should I do?—" Qian Xiaomi started crying again, but Liu Qiaomei slapped her on the back, abruptly interrupting her sobs. "Cry, cry, all you know is crying. What are you crying for? You're useless! You've cried away all your sister's good fortune!"
Qian Duoduo held his forehead and said, "Mom, I know you are partial, but this partiality makes me embarrassed."
The eldest daughter was kicked out of the house, but instead of comforting her, he stabbed her in the heart.
Qian Duoduo was afraid that Liu Qiaomei would say something else, so he quickly said, "Mom, go find some more bowls and chopsticks. My sister and the children must be hungry. Bring some more steamed buns."
Liu Qiaomei glared at Qian Xiaomi who was wiping her tears and left the room.
It's really worrying. If it was her, Duoduo would have called back long ago. How dare she say that!
No, her Duoduo is lucky and will never find such a thing!
The three children were bullied since childhood and developed cowardly personalities. They stood on the ground, huddled together, lowered their heads, and didn't even dare to speak.
Qian Duoduo felt a little distressed. The oldest was only six years old, the second was four, and the third was two. The three children could be described as skin and bones, and they were so small that it was heartbreaking to see them.
Such a young child, wearing a sack made of scraps of cloth, with messy hair, I don’t know whether to blame Qian Xiaomi for her incompetence as a mother, or blame the Li family for being useless.
Qian Xiaomi was still carrying a baby in her belly, which looked to be about four or five months old, or even older.
I don’t know how I walked back the more than 30 kilometers.
Old Li’s family?
Li Dagui?
Oh!
You said kick her out, so kick her out? Bullying her rich sister, you better be prepared.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll take the blame for you! My Qian family is not someone you can easily bully."
"Go wash your hands and eat first. You have a baby in your belly. You can't treat the child badly."
Liu Qiaomei is also a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Feeling sorry for the children, she served them four bowls of mutton soup, each with half a bowl of mutton.
There was not much braised pork left on the table, so she went out to the table, put a small bowl of pork stewed with tofu and vermicelli, and brought seven or eight steamed buns.
After everything was placed on the table, the three children were carried onto the kang.
"There are a lot of people here today, including your sister's in-laws. Don't talk about your family's troubles. If anyone asks, just say you're here to attend your sister's banquet."
"Got it?!"
Seeing Qian Xiaomi nod, he growled angrily, "Why are you looking so sad? Smile!"
"Look at you, what a loser you've made these kids! You good-for-nothing! How could our Qian family give birth to a useless thing like you?"
Qian Duoduo felt helpless and wanted to laugh.
She was kicked out of the house with three children, no, including the one in her belly, that’s four children. You expect her to laugh?
Liu Qiaomei scolded them for a long time, then saw the children curled up in fear. She glared at Qian Xiaomi and said, "Duoduo, hurry up and eat something. Go to your grandma's room later. Jun Mo's parents are still there. It would be bad if you didn't show up."
"Mom, I know." Seeing Liu Qiaomei busy drying her mouth, he waved distressedly, "Mom, come here."
"What are you doing? You're busy outside." Although his tone was bad, he still took two steps towards her.
Qian Duoduo held her hand and said coquettishly, "It doesn't matter if you're busy for two or three minutes. Look at you, your mouth is dry from exhaustion." Then he picked up the mutton soup she had just drunk and said, "Drink it quickly."
"You drink it, Mom doesn't like this stuff."
"I don't like it either. It's cold and smells fishy. Drink it quickly."
Liu Qiaomei had no choice but to pick up the bowl and drink it in one gulp. "Okay, Mom is still busy."
Qian Duoduo picked up a piece of mutton and put it into her mouth. "No, eat a few bites before going out. What if you get too hungry?"
As he said that, he pulled her to sit on the kang, broke off half a steamed bun, added three pieces of braised pork in the middle, and put in two eggs.
"Here, roujiamo, eat it quickly."
Liu Qiaomei was really hungry. She had been busy since morning until now, without even having time to drink a sip of water. She had just hurriedly stuffed two dumplings into her stomach, and now she was starving.
Liu Qiaomei hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls and left. Qian Duoduo placed a few bowls of mutton soup in front of the three children, "Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, eat quickly, there's meat."
"We're back to grandma's house. Don't be afraid. Come and eat."
As he said this, he put chopsticks in front of them, but the three little ones just lowered their heads and didn't dare to pick up the chopsticks.
"Sister, tell the children to eat quickly. You should eat quickly too. You are pregnant and cannot go hungry."
"After dinner, when everyone's gone, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother will help you vent your anger!"
"Humph! He dares to bring a woman home so brazenly. I'll make him spend the rest of his life in jail!"
After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Sister, let me ask you, do you still want to go back to Lao Li's house?"
This matter needs to be clarified.
Otherwise, what if you work hard here for a long time and deal with that family, and Qian Xiaomi blames her?
Thinking of Old Li's family, Qian Xiaomi shuddered, but...
"I have nowhere to go, and I have a child..."
A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Once divorced, she cannot return to her parents’ home.
She has three daughters on her own, how is she going to support them?
The baby in her belly is about to be born, how will she feed it?
Qian Duoduo sighed, and she understood the difficulties faced by women, especially women of this era.
It is difficult to take this step, but once you take it, the world will be bright and clear.
She thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I'm going to the capital soon. Would you like to go over and help me?"
If she said arrogantly that she would follow her and support her in the future, given Qian Xiaomi's personality, she would most likely not cause her any trouble.
Qian Xiaomi was stunned, and looked at her with red eyes, "Help, help you? What can I do for you?"
