Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Lixia propped up her weak body and wiped away Lidong's tears with heartache.

"Don't cry, I have something to say now, you must listen to me."

Lidong nodded desperately.

"I listen to you, whatever you say."

Lixia sighed.

"The clan leader said he would go to grandma to reason with her, and he would definitely call the uncles in the village. When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to go to her house and kneel in the yard to beg grandma to give me money to treat my illness. Remember, the more pitiful you sound, the better."

Lidong frowned sadly. He knew very well what kind of person the old woman was. Not to mention kneeling down and kowtow to her, even if she got a broken head, she wouldn't feel any pity at all.

I'm afraid my sister's wish will not be fulfilled.

Maybe he would be ridiculed if he went there.

But looking at his sister's expectant eyes, he nodded, thinking to himself, maybe this is also a way. He definitely can't count on that old woman.

But the clan leader and those uncles might be able to lend them some money. His sister is the closest person to him, and he really can't bear to see her suffer like this.

In the morning, Zhuang was just about to go out to find a strange woman to pretend to be a human trafficker to go to the second brother's house, but she didn't expect that she would be called to the clan leader's house as soon as she stepped out of the yard.

Of course, Kang and the eldest brother of the Liu family were also invited to join the party.

On the way, the three of them were still wondering if something had happened in other families.

But when she entered the room, she found that Lidong was also called in, and the old woman immediately frowned.

"Lidong, what are you doing here, a little kid?"

Lidong followed his sister's instructions and knelt down in front of the old lady.

"Grandma, please save my sister."

The old woman couldn't kick Li Dong in front of the clan leader and others, so she just said with a sullen face: "If you have anything to say, please get up and talk slowly."

Lidong shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, my sister is dying. She was knocked unconscious by you with a stool yesterday, and she started vomiting blood in the middle of the night. We called Dr. Li, and he said that my sister's condition can only be treated in town."

"Please lend me a few taels of silver. I will definitely pay you back double in the future."

The old woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the stool would hit her so hard.

Seeing everyone's unfriendly faces, he immediately shirked his responsibility and said, "What are you talking about here? When did I hit your sister? Don't throw dirty water on me for no reason."

Zhuang also didn't believe that the bench could be so serious, so he immediately went forward to pull Lidong.

"Good boy, get up quickly. If you have anything to say, let's talk when we get home. The clan leader must have something else to talk to us about. When we are done, we will go to your house to see your sister."

"My sister is really not well."

Lidong pulled out a bloody handkerchief from his body and waved it in his hand.

"Look, the blood on this handkerchief was all vomited by my sister. There is also a lot of blood on my mother's body and on the bed. If you don't believe me, come with me and see now."

The old woman's face turned blue with anger. She didn't expect that Lidong would dare to humiliate her in front of everyone.

"You and your sister are good at acting. Who knows what this is all about? I'm your grandmother, and you're blackmailing me. You're really disobedient and unfilial."

Lidong's tearful eyes hid deep hatred. He no longer begged the old woman, but knelt before the clan leader.

"Grandpa, my sister was beaten like this by my grandma. Not only did she not feel any remorse, she even accused me of blackmail. If you don't believe me, you can come to my house now to see if my sister is really sick."

"Okay, everyone, come with me to visit the second brother's house," the clan leader knew that Kang was the kind of person who wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin.

Besides, he also wanted to see how serious Lixia's illness was.

Seeing that Lidong showed no sign of fear, Zhuang felt uneasy. Could it be that the girl was really beaten?

Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Lidong gave him a sharp look. He paused for a moment and forced a smile.

In the Liu family courtyard, Yuan looked at her daughter lying sick on the bed, feeling anxious.

Although her mind is not quite right sometimes, the love she has for her children is engraved in her bones.

Thinking of his daughter vomiting so much blood, he picked up the knife without hesitation and cut his wrist, and blood gushed out.

Yuan didn't seem to feel any pain at all and immediately directed the blood towards Lixia's mouth.

She simply thought that since her daughter had vomited blood, maybe giving her some of her blood would help her get better.

This is the only thing she, as a mother, can do for her daughter.

Lixia lay weakly on the bed with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she felt something dripping on her lips. She subconsciously licked it with her tongue. It tasted salty, and a bloody smell spread to her nostrils.

His eyes suddenly opened and when Lixia saw the blood flowing from her mother's wrist, her eyes misted over.

He immediately raised his hand and grabbed Yuan's wrist, squeezing it tightly, feeling both distressed and reproachful.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

When Yuan saw tears in her daughter's eyes, she thought she had done something wrong and lowered her head like a child.

"I'm sorry, mother wants to give you some blood to make you better."

Lixia's throat was hoarse and she tried hard to blink away the tears. She searched around and found a cotton towel, which she immediately bandaged tightly around her mother's wound.

He forced a smile and comforted her, "Mom, I'm much better now. Don't do such things in the future, understand?"

Yuan didn't understand, but nodded obediently.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed to be the voices of the patriarch and the old woman. Yuan trembled instantly.

That voice was like a horrible spell, and she felt extremely scared every time she heard it.

Lixia felt both distressed and angry when she saw her mother like this, and patted her mother on the shoulder.

"Mom, please stay in Lidong's room. I won't let the old woman hurt you again."

Yuan's body was trembling, and she nodded in trust.

When everyone entered the room, they saw Lixia half leaning on the bed, breathing heavily, as if she was in extreme discomfort.

The bed was covered in blood, especially on the pillow beside the bed. The bright red blood didn't seem to have dried yet, and it looked like he had vomited again.

Lidong was the first to rush forward, "Sister, did you vomit again?"

Lixia forced herself to raise the corner of her mouth, "Sister is fine, don't worry."

Li Dong's tearful eyes suddenly shot towards the old woman, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You believe it this time, right? Are you satisfied with beating my sister like this?"

Everyone's eyes were directed at the old woman. In addition to disbelief, they were also filled with anger.

Of course, this does not include Zhuang and the eldest son of the Liu family. The couple is a selfish pair. Seeing Lixia like this, they are more regretful that the money they have earned will be lost.

The old woman saw everyone staring at her with hatred, and she felt a little timid inside. Even if she hated her granddaughter, she could not bear the charge of murder.

He was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"I didn't touch her at all. Who knows what these two brothers are planning."

Lidong took a step forward angrily, scaring the old woman so much that she took half a step back.

"Grandma, can you swear to God that you didn't hit my sister with a stool?"
