A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 62 Being Beaten
Old Lady Li had lived in Qinghe Village for more than 30 years. The villagers were very familiar with her. As soon as they heard the loud voice, they knew who she was and cursed softly, "What the hell is this fat woman doing here?"
She wanted to get up and open the door, but suddenly remembered that her face had not healed yet. It was still very swollen and she couldn't go out to see anyone.
On the night of the accident, Li Laosi went to the county town and brought back some medicine. Every day, Su would prepare it and send it to the upper room. The reason why it was sent to the upper room was because it was Li Laotai and Li Laosi who took the medicine, not Jiang.
According to Old Lady Li, as a woman she didn't need to go out to work, so she could just take care of herself. Therefore, whenever Old Man Li went to the upper room to take medicine, Mrs. Jiang would pinch and twist him.
As a result, the swelling on Li Laosi's face subsided a little, but the injuries on his body increased day by day.
The knocking on the door continued, and there was a trend that they would not stop until the door was opened. Old Mrs. Li was in a bad mood and shouted at the third room: "Su, you lazy woman, can't you hear someone knocking on the door? Or do you want me, an old woman, to serve you?"
Upon hearing this, Su immediately hurried to open the door. She had heard it a long time ago, but her mother-in-law said that no one could open the door during the next few days. It was not that she didn't want to open the door, but she didn't dare to.
As soon as the door opened, several people rushed in.
"Why did Aunt Li knock for a while before opening the door? I'm afraid she's doing something bad and is afraid that we'll find out." As they spoke, they all went upstairs. Su was the only one left. No matter how hard she tried to stop them, it was no use. She was so anxious that sweat broke out.
"I'm sorry, everyone. My mother is sleeping. Why don't you come another day?" Su tried her best to stop them. She knew her mother-in-law's character very well. If others saw her face, she would definitely not forgive her.
The burly woman blocked Su's way and let others pass smoothly: "Aunt Li just woke up, we all heard her talking, it's not good to not see her for a few days, we can just say a few words and leave, it won't take up too much time."
When Old Lady Li in the room heard the voices, she paced back and forth anxiously. The swelling on her face was still very obvious. She had been taking medicine for several days, but for some reason the effect was so slow. What she didn't know was that in order to embezzle money, Old Li did not buy the most expensive medicine prescribed by the doctor, but only bought the cheaper one, so the medicine was very effective.
With a creak, the door of the main room was opened from the outside. Seeing that she could not hide, Old Mrs. Li had to lie back on the kang, lying down at the innermost part, facing the wall, praying that no one would find her. Several women rushed in, but did not see Old Mrs. Li, so they went to the inner room and saw Old Mrs. Li lying on the bed with her back to them.
"Mrs. Li, why are you sleeping in the middle of the day?"
The young woman holding the child winked at the others and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
"You guys find a place to sit. I've caught a cold and I'm not feeling well. I just want to sleep every day." Old Mrs. Li lowered her head even lower. If they saw her like this, she would lose face.
As they were chatting, someone silently approached the kang, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck and looked inside. The woman was the tallest one in the group.
As Mrs. Li spoke, she became less defensive and just turned her face to the wall, not knowing what the person behind her was doing.
After standing on tiptoe a few times, the tall woman finally saw Old Lady Li's face. She was so shocked that she covered her mouth and widened her eyes. She was afraid of being discovered by Old Lady Li, so she quickly took a few steps back before she calmed herself down. Seeing her reaction, several people were very curious.
"I'm getting old and my health is not as good as before. A small cold can take half my life. I feel uncomfortable all over. You young people are better." Old lady Li kept on talking, but no one listened to her. They all left after saying a few words. They came and went in a hurry. The room became quiet in a moment.
Only after she was sure that there was no one around did Old Lady Li stand up. With a grim look on her face, she called Su in with a bad tone.
After leaving the Li family's gate, several people surrounded the tall woman and asked her questions in a flurry.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to old lady Li's face?"
"Is it like what others say?"
The tall woman was overwhelmed by the questions. She stretched out her arm to signal them not to worry. She cleared her throat and said, "Old Lady Li was facing the wall. I only saw half of her face. That half of her face was swollen and purple in color. It was really scary. I only saw half of her face. I don’t know how much scarier it would be if I saw the whole face."
Everyone gasped. The rumors were basically true. It really proved the old saying that God is watching what people do. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come. For example, the Li family, because they had a scholar son, were used to being arrogant and domineering in the village. If it was man-made, how could they have been so patient and kept it secret for fear that others would find out? They would have made a big fuss long ago.
The news spread like wildfire, and within a short time the whole village knew about it. Even the children playing under the big locust tree were talking about it: "Li Xiaobao, your grandmother is so wicked that God has punished her by turning her face into a pig's."
"My grandmother doesn't have a pig face, you are talking nonsense." Li Xiaobao angrily pushed the boy who was speaking.
The boy was older and taller than him. The whole village was talking about it. He said that Li Xiaobao dared to push him just because he said that. So he immediately refused to stand for it and started to wrestle with Li Xiaobao.
Li Xiaobao was not at an advantage in height, and was at a disadvantage from the beginning. He was then pinned to the ground and beaten. The people playing with him were all children, and they didn't know how to stop the fight. They jumped, shouted, clapped and cheered. It took a long time for the two to separate. Li Xiaobao was covered in mud, and he felt pain all over his body, and he cried loudly.
Old man Li went around the fields and saw that the crops were growing well. His mood, which had been depressed for several days, improved a lot. He paced back and heard a child crying before he reached the big locust tree.
When Xiao Linzi saw Old Man Li coming, he shouted in a low voice, "Old Man Li is coming." Immediately, the group of children dispersed and ran back home.
Old man Li didn't care. When he got closer, he found that there was a group of children just now, but now there was one crying on the ground. He glanced at them inadvertently and found that it was his beloved grandson. He walked over quickly and helped him up with heartache.
Seeing that the person coming was his grandfather who loved him the most, Li Xiaobao cried even more sadly. This made old man Li very distressed. He kept coaxing Li Xiaobao, saying "Good boy, baby", for a long time before Li Xiaobao stopped crying.
I originally thought that it was just a fight between children, so after asking the reason, I unexpectedly found out that Li Xiaobao said that it was because someone called her face a pig's head, and she got so angry that she started fighting with that person.
Her mood had improved a little, but now she felt even more depressed. She wondered who had spread the news. She no longer cared about Li Xiaobao's cries of pain and hurriedly carried him home.
