"Alas, I am so old, and you all think I am too old, and you are worrying me!" After listening to Liang Sumei's words, Mrs. Liang felt that there was some truth in them. If something really happened to Liang Sumei, the 50 kilograms of flour would probably be like a cooked duck flying away.

At this moment, Liang Qing, who was standing by, saw that Old Lady Liang seemed to be shaken, so she hurried to Liang Guangli and asked with concern: "Dad, is your toe broken? Why don't we go to the infirmary and don't delay it." She deliberately raised her voice by eight degrees so that Old Lady Liang would shift her attention to her father's injury. She knew very well that Old Lady Liang always favored her father. As long as she was more worried about her father's injury, her disgust for Liang Sumei would be deeper.

"Ah? Is it broken?" Mrs. Liang was shocked and quickly walked to her second son's side and squatted down. She stretched out her fingers and gently pinched her second son's toes, and asked with concern: "Which toe is broken?"

Liang Guangli could not help but howl with a scream of "Ouch!" He frowned and shouted in pain, "Mom, please be gentle! You are crushing my foot!"

Liang Sumei looked at her second uncle who was "performing" in front of her with contempt, and muttered to herself: "Humph, he's pretending again."

Song Yazhi pretended to be pitiful, delicate and weak. She wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and choked up and said, "Mom, it's all my fault. It's all because I'm too clumsy. I was worried that I would ruin my linen clothes, which were given to me by Xiaowang's aunt, so I asked my sister-in-law to help wash them. Who knew Sumei would get so angry because of this? At home, we are family and I won't argue with her when she gets angry with me. But who will tolerate her when she gets angry with her in-laws? Guangli, as her second uncle, must teach her a lesson. Who knew that my kindness would be taken for granted and she even broke her bones..." At the end, she deliberately sobbed a few times, looking very aggrieved.

When Mrs. Liang heard her son's inhumane screams, her heart ached like a knife. When she heard what Song Yazhi said, her hatred for Liang Sumei became even stronger.

"Don't eat! Send the second child to the infirmary first!" Mrs. Liang roared in anger. Then, she stared at Luo Jinqiu and her daughter, her eyes full of resentment, and said with gritted teeth: "If you don't give the second child a satisfactory explanation today, don't blame me for using family rules!"

Deep in Liang Sumei's memory, whenever she or her mother had irreconcilable conflicts with her second uncle's family, they would be subjected to this cruel family law - not only were they deprived of food and water, but they were also whipped with a cowherd whip until they fell to the ground and had to kneel for a day and a night. The so-called family law seemed to be set up specifically for them.

"Grandma, it's hard to say whether Second Uncle's foot is broken. Even if it is, it's his own fault and he deserves the consequences!" Liang Sumei said righteously.

Before she finished her words, she heard a loud slap on Liang Sumei's face. Liang Sumei had not expected this to happen and was stunned. When she came to her senses and looked carefully, she found that the one who hit her was her foolish father, Liang Guangchuan.

Liang Sumei's eyes were filled with tears, and her hatred for this family grew deeper.

"Liang Guangchuan, you bastard! If you want to hit someone, come and hit me! Xiaomei just woke up from drowning yesterday. She finally managed to save her life, but now she can't withstand a slap from you! How could you have the heart to do that to you!" Luo Jinqiu's chest heaved violently as she roared angrily at her husband Liang Guangchuan.

She looked at her daughter's flushed face, her eyes full of heartache and guilt. "Xiaomei, does it hurt? It's all mom's fault. I didn't protect you and let you suffer." She stretched out her trembling hands and gently stroked the heartbreaking mark on her daughter's face, tears flowing down her face involuntarily.

Liang Guangchuan was frightened by Luo Jinqiu's sudden anger and took a few steps back. He couldn't believe that the woman who usually spoke softly and obeyed him seemed to have changed. How dare this woman lose her temper with him? She was just a woman who depended on him for life. What right did she have to yell at him?

Oh my god, I actually forgot about drowning. Fortunately, my mother reminded me in time. Liang Sumei came up with a plan and slid down my mother's arm and lay on the ground. She rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.

"Xiaomei! Xiaomei!" Luo Jinqiu shouted at the top of her lungs, her eyes full of anxiety. She hugged her daughter tightly, her hands trembling.

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes like torches, shooting straight at Liang Guangchuan, "Liang Guangchuan, you! You bully me, and I, Luo Jinqiu, have no complaints. But Xiaomei, she is my sweetheart! If anything happens to Xiaomei, I, Luo Jinqiu, will make you pay the price even if I have to risk my life."

"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Liang glared at Luo Jinqiu with dissatisfaction, her tone full of majesty.

"Mom, I have to take Xiaomei to the infirmary." Luo Jinqiu said anxiously.

Old Lady Liang was afraid that Liang Sumei would take the opportunity to slip away, so she came up with a plan: "Old Second and Sumei, stay at home and don't go anywhere." Then she told Liang Guangchuan: "Go and get the doctor."

When Old Lady Liang saw Liang Sumei faint, she was very anxious. She was afraid that the 50 kilograms of food coupons and flour would be wasted. Therefore, in her eyes, Liang Sumei was even more important than Liang Guangli at this moment. She temporarily gave up the plan to cause trouble for Luo Jinqiu and ordered Luo Jinqiu to take good care of Liang Sumei.

Liang Sumei was lying on the kang, squinting her eyes slightly. There were only her mother and sister in front of her. She blinked playfully and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister, you..." The younger sister was about to shout out excitedly, but Liang Sumei immediately made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

"You're awake~" My sister's voice immediately became as thin as a mosquito's buzz, and she asked the second half of the sentence quietly.

"Mom, Xiaoling, I was actually pretending! That old woman only cared about flour and food stamps. If I didn't faint to scare her, she might really punish us." There was a hint of teasing in her tone.

Luo Jinqiu looked at his daughter with heartache and asked gently, "Xiaomei, does your face still hurt?" Liang Sumei pouted and said in a wronged manner, "Mom, it really hurts, woo woo." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, as if she was a little girl who needed care.

"Mom will rub it for you." Luo Jinqiu stretched out her hand and gently rubbed circles on her daughter's face. She continued, "Xiaomei, your grandma is not an easy person to deal with. She won't let us off easily. We have to think of a solution."

Liang Sumei looked at her mother in surprise, and exclaimed with relief and excitement, "Mom, you finally got it. You actually know how to come up with a solution."

Luo Jinqiu gently embraced her youngest daughter Liang Suling in her arms, her eyes filled with endless love. She looked at Liang Sumei and said, "Xiaomei, Mom has finally figured it out. In this life, you two daughters may be the only ones to accompany me. I raised you from little potatoes to big white radishes. You are the apple of your eye. Every time you have a little illness or pain, your heart is torn. Yesterday, you suddenly jumped into the river. Mom's mind was blank at that time. The only thought was to pick up your sister and jump in with you. Anyway, there is no future in this family. Later, you woke up, and Mom felt that there was hope again. From then on, Mom was determined to protect you two sisters well."

"Mom, why didn't you resist before? Why did you have to endure this hardship on yourself?" Liang Sumei frowned and asked in confusion.

Luo Jinqiu sighed softly: "Alas, these are all things of the past, and Mom never mentioned them to you. At that time, your grandpa's family often had trouble making ends meet, and even thin soup was not enough. Once, I fainted from hunger, and your grandpa randomly found a hilltop and abandoned me there. It happened that your dad passed by there on his way up the mountain to chop firewood. He found me unconscious and carried me back home. After I woke up, I didn't know where to go, and in order to fill my stomach, it was natural for your dad and I to get married," she said in a flat tone.
