The God of War is killing like crazy

Chapter 23 The tragic fate of the little peasant girl 3

The Li family did not allow the two sisters to sit at the table for meals. Li Tiehua and Li Baocui before she got married could sit at the table for meals, but the two sisters could not. They lived in a makeshift straw hut and had no idea where they would get their meals.

At this time, the family was eating at the table. Si Ying took Daya back to the shabby straw shed where they lived, took out a roujiamo and handed it to her, saying, "Sister, eat it quickly while they are still eating and not paying attention to us."

Li Daya was stunned when she saw the steaming meat bun. She didn't care about her hungry stomach and pulled Si Ying to ask, "Erya, where did you come from?"

Si Ying explained, "I was picking grass for pigs today, and I found some medicinal herbs. A passerby saw me and said I found some ginseng. He wanted to trade with me, so he gave me some roujiamo. You eat first, and I'll secretly send one to my mother as well."

Daya wanted to ask more, but then she heard that her sister was going to send it to her mother as well. She knew that asking again would only delay things, so she urged Siying to be careful and go quickly.

Because of her unstable fetus, Xu rarely went out and mostly lay on the kang to rest. She usually waited for Daya and the others to finish preparing everyone's meal and then serve it to her.

At this moment, she was stunned for a moment when she saw Si Ying coming in empty-handed, then she looked at her little daughter lovingly and stretched out her hand to call her over. In fact, seeing her two daughters being so thin and small and being tortured, Xu was also very distressed, so she wanted to give birth to a son despite the doctor's advice. She thought that as long as she gave birth to a son, even if she died, her daughters would be better off. Isn't it the eldest sister-in-law? If she gave birth to a son, Li Tiehua would also be able to sit at the table for dinner.

However, she did not expect that although she gave birth to a son at the cost of her life, she was unable to give her daughters an easy life. Her son was even sold, and finally her three children died tragically.

Si Ying walked over and looked at the young but old and sickly woman in front of her. Her pregnancy made her a little bloated. She was stroking her cheek with apology and heartache in her eyes.

In fact, Xu had not eaten a single nutritious meal since she became pregnant. She just did less work than before. Even so, she was still criticized by Old Lady Li through the door.

Si Ying took out a hot steamed bun from her bosom and handed it to Xu, saying, "Mom, eat it quickly while they are still eating." Seeing that Xu was about to ask, Si Ying said, "Eat first while I tell you slowly. Hurry up, or if grandma finds out, I will be in trouble."

Xu was also hungry, and she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so she knew that she couldn't let her daughter down. She nodded, took the roujiamo and started eating, while looking at her inquiringly.

Si Ying knew what Xu was going to ask, so she used the same words to deceive Daya, saying that she had exchanged it for ginseng and that she and her sister had eaten it. She told Xu to eat it quickly and not be discovered by them, otherwise she would be beaten again.

Xu shed tears silently while eating. What kind of life was she leading? She watched her two daughters being bullied, beaten and scolded every day, and she had to work like a man every day, but she didn't have a penny. She was pregnant and had to be careful even when eating, for fear of being discovered and causing her daughters to be beaten.

She didn't dare cry out loud, and was afraid of being seen by her daughter, so she turned her head and faced away from Si Ying, eating while crying. She didn't dare cry out loud, but her shoulders kept shaking.

Si Ying did this on purpose. She wanted Xu to wake up and have the courage to take her daughter away from here.

But Xu is a pregnant woman after all. Being too excited is not good for the body. Si Ying took her hand and felt her pulse. She had to understand Xu's current physical condition so that it would be convenient for her to take care of her body in the future. Si Ying comforted her: "Mom, don't be sad. If I can dig ginseng today, I will definitely dig it tomorrow. Then I will pay you back and buy you food to replenish your body. You have to take good care of yourself and give birth to a fat little brother for me and my sister."

Xu nodded.

After taking the patient's pulse, Si Ying withdrew her hand and handed Xu a glass of water.

Because Xu's body had not been well taken care of before she went to work in the fields, she suffered from a deficiency of Qi and blood. However, this was not difficult for Si Ying, who was known as the "Little Medical Fairy". Fortunately, Xu was still young and would be able to recover after taking medicine for a period of time.

Xu drank the water, Si Ying helped her lie down again, then she packed up everything and went out.

In the room, Xu was stroking her belly gently, with a myriad of thoughts in her eyes.

Back in the straw hut, Daya saw Si Ying coming back and asked how her mother was. Si Ying had no choice but to comfort her and then asked her to clean up and go to bed early. She went to clean up the table where the Li family had finished eating.

Daya saw her sister leave without saying a few words. She knew that her sister must be hiding something from her, but she couldn't get anything out of her, so she lay down on the straw mat and fell into deep thought.

Over there, Si Ying used some spiritual power to clean up the table and dishes. She found a place where no one was around, set up a barrier, and took out a roujiamo to eat. After all, she hadn't had dinner yet.

On the other side, Old Lady Li finally woke up, pointing at her foot and crying and shouting that it hurt, howling that it was the original owner's fault and that she wanted to beat the original owner to death. Everyone in the Li family was sleepy at this time, thinking about the bamboo basket of pig grass. There was no need for Old Lady Li to cry so much. They guessed that she must be making trouble because her wife did not go to work in the fields, so they were too lazy to pay attention to her. They comforted her with a few words and went back to sleep.

Seeing that everyone had left, Old Lady Li couldn't stand it anymore and continued to cry and shout that her leg was broken and she wanted to find a barefoot doctor to take a look. Old Man Li instantly got angry, threw his pipe in a warning tone and hit Old Lady Li with it. Old Lady Li was so scared that she didn't dare to cry anymore and had to endure the pain and go to sleep.

Si Ying also packed up and went back to sleep. The nights in late autumn were very cold, and the original owner and her sister slept in this cold straw hut and shivered every night.

Seeing Li Daya curled up, Si Ying waved her hand to cast a barrier to isolate the cold outside. Then she also lay down on the straw mat and fell asleep. The straw mat was newly woven by the original owner and her sister with a lot of grass every day, and it still had a faint grass fragrance.

Daya, who was standing beside her, also gradually stretched out her body, fell into a sound sleep, and even had a rare sweet dream.

The next day, Mrs. Li said that her feet hurt. Old Man Li said that as long as she didn't spend money, he would do anything. He told her not to go to the fields and to lie down at home. Her daughters-in-law could take care of her at home.

After breakfast, the men went to the fields with water and dry food. Mrs. Li was in unbearable pain. When she saw that Old Man Li had left, she hurriedly called Si Ying and the others over. It was obvious that she wanted to torture the two sisters.

Si Ying asked Daya to stay in the room with her mother and not to go over there. She went to the old woman's room and saw old woman Li lying on the kang. When she saw Si Ying coming, she raised her hand, grabbed something next to her and hit her. Si Ying dodged flexibly, and then there was a "bang". The wine bottle that old man Li had collected for many years was broken.

The wine spilled out, and Si Ying hurriedly shouted, "Grandma, you broke Grandpa's wine. What should I do? Grandpa will be angry when he comes back."

"But don't worry, grandma. Arya will plead for you when the time comes. It's getting late. I have to go get grass for the pigs, otherwise the pigs will starve to death."

After saying that, Si Ying left without even looking back, not giving Old Lady Li a chance to scold. Old Lady Li was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet, but it hurt her wound and she started crying again in pain.
