I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Ye Qiulan was crying so hard that she was out of breath and couldn't speak at all.

"Let me hold the child. You sit for a while, sister." Zhao Li stepped forward, took the child in her arms, sat on the inner edge of the bed, and carefully put Old Lady Ye's quilt on Daya to keep her warm.

Holding the small, soft child in her arms, Zhao Li moved more gently, fearing that the child might feel uncomfortable.

Old Lady Ye felt sad when she heard her daughter crying. She patted her daughter's hand and couldn't help but tear up. "Don't cry, Lanzi. Tell me what happened."

Ye Qiulan seldom came back after she got married. She even failed to go home on the day of her youngest son's wedding. Old Mrs. Ye missed her daughter very much. Who would have thought that she would suddenly come back today, and find herself in such a situation.

Seeing them crying like this, Chen rolled up her sleeves in anger: "Did the Zhang family bully you? I'm going to settle the score with them!"

Chen was usually lazy and often secretly took things from her mother's side, but in her heart she considered herself a member of the Ye family. Seeing her younger sister being so aggrieved, she felt bad too.

"Second sister-in-law, don't go..." Ye Qiulan said with sobs.

"Don't be afraid, little sister. Our family will take care of it for you." Mrs. Lin was a person who easily shed tears, and now she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

She and Ye Qiulan had been together for quite a while. When Lin came into the family, Ye Qiulan was only eight years old. Lin knew her personality quite well. Ye Qiulan had been strong-willed since she was a child, and if she had not been forced into no other options, she would never have run back to her parents' home crying to complain.

After a long while, Ye Qiulan barely stopped crying. Mrs. Meng boiled some water and brought it in. She poured her a bowl and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat first. If you have anything to say, talk slowly."

"Thank you. Who are you?" Ye Qiulan looked up and found that she did not know the woman in front of her, so she asked embarrassedly.

After all, no one would laugh at me if my family saw me crying like this, but it would be quite embarrassing if outsiders saw me crying.

Old Lady Ye introduced her, "This is Mrs. Meng. She lives in our house. You can just call her Mrs. Meng."

Ye Qiulan nodded: "Thank you, Sister Meng."

Mrs. Meng said in a gentle tone, "No need to thank me. If anyone should thank you, it should be me."

Seeing that Ye Qiulan seemed a little uncomfortable being here, Meng put down the teapot and left.

Old Lady Ye then asked tentatively, "Did the Zhang family bully you? They refused to hire a doctor for Daya?"

Ye Qiulan nodded slightly. When she mentioned her grievances, the tears that had just stopped fell again. She quickly raised her hand to wipe them away.

Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, often bullied her by saying that she gave birth to a daughter, a money-loser, and almost all the housework was left to her.

She had to get out of bed to work before her daughter was even a month old. Whenever her mother-in-law saw her hiding in the house to feed her baby, she would stand outside her door and say in a sarcastic tone that she was lazy, which made her feel guilty every time she fed the baby.

But if the child didn’t want to drink milk, would she let her starve? Later, she fed the child, regardless of whether the child was full or not. After feeding the child for a while and the child stopped crying, she put the child to bed and went out to work.

This also caused her daughter to be weak and powerless. Now her daughter is one week and three months old and has just started to learn to walk. She still walks unsteadily. She cannot watch her daughter all the time and is afraid that she will be in danger. She usually ties her to the bed frame with a cloth to prevent her from getting off the ground.

The day before yesterday, when Ye Qiulan was picking vegetables and preparing breakfast in the yard, her daughter kept crying. She had no choice but to pick her daughter up and let her walk a few steps beside her, thinking that she would feed the child after breakfast was ready.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the daughter was pushed by the second wife's youngest son into a large wooden tub used for washing clothes not far away. The water in it was icy cold, and the child's clothes were instantly soaked by the cold water.

Even though Ye Qiulan took the child out of the water immediately after she found out, dried her and changed her clothes, the child still got sick. When she made breakfast and went to see her daughter, she had already developed a fever.

What happened next was what really disappointed her husband's family. Ye Qiulan didn't mean to blame the second wife's youngest son, but he pushed Daya into the wooden basin. However, no one in the Zhang family believed her and accused her of lying. She couldn't take care of her own child and she wanted to wrongly accuse her nephew.

She knew that her mother-in-law had never liked her, but her husband, her daughter's biological father, refused to speak for her. She was like an outsider in that family, being pointed at and criticized by the whole family, saying that she couldn't even take care of a child, so what was the use of having her?

The child had a fever all night, but the mother-in-law refused to pay for her child to see a doctor, saying that the family had no money. Whose children don’t get sick? Who doesn’t just get over it? She is just being hypocritical! She is just being lazy and not cooking for the family! If she doesn’t cook today’s meal, she won’t have to eat!

Ye Qiulan wanted to laugh at this. Didn't she cook breakfast and dinner at home? But she didn't cook today, so there would be no food for her at home? Isn't this funny?

But her man only listens to her mother-in-law...

In fact, Ye Qiulan knew that her mother-in-law had money, but she would not spend it on them. Her eldest sister-in-law's eldest son was old enough to get married, her second sister-in-law wanted to make new clothes for her daughter who was about to come of age, and her fourth sister-in-law's baby was about to be born... As long as they needed money, her mother-in-law would give it to them.

Unfortunately, her daughter was sick and her mother-in-law had no money. No matter what she said or how she begged, it was of no avail. Her daughter's illness was delayed for two days. Seeing her daughter's illness getting worse, Ye Qiulan's heart was broken.

At the same time, she felt despair towards that indifferent family. She wanted to die with her child in her arms, but after leaving the house, she somehow walked back to Liushu Village. When she wanted to turn back, she was seen by several old women in the village who were sitting together and chatting, and they pulled her back home.

She is now a married daughter with a child. She couldn't even come back to see Ye Ze's wedding a few days ago. How could she have the face to enter this family?

But when she came back and felt the care of her family, she really couldn't hold it in anymore and just wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered these days...

Ye Qiulan explained the cause and effect of the child's illness in a few simple sentences. Old Mrs. Ye's heart trembled with anger. She couldn't help but slap her thigh and cried loudly: "My poor daughter, what a suffering you have endured! Why is your life so miserable... It's all your fault. I shouldn't have let you marry such a ruthless family..."
